Chapter 278 Ulihan, who doesn't suffer losses
Feng Han felt a pang of anxiety when she recalled how long the two of them had been missing at the same time. She then turned to look at them without revealing her feelings.
Ulihan, though bruised and battered, remained expressionless and calm. Feng Zhao, on the other hand, looked bewildered, which put her mind at ease: "Is this true? Is there any evidence?"
Qiqige felt that things had gone quite smoothly today, and a smile appeared on his face. He pointed to Ulihan beside him and said, "These marks on my nineteenth brother's body are evidence."
Feng Han looked at Wulihan's bruised and swollen face. Although she had seen it before, she couldn't help but laugh every time she saw it. She wondered who had beaten him up like this!
She forced back the smile that was about to bloom on her lips, coughed lightly, and asked with a serious expression, "Ahem! Nineteenth Prince, what is the Eighteenth Princess saying...?"
Ulihan stood up upon hearing the voice, his voice booming like a bell: "Her Majesty Empress Fengming indeed needs to give this prince an explanation."
After speaking, he paused briefly, noticing Qiqige's increasingly pleased expression beside him, and abruptly changed the subject:
"I was just going to the restroom when I was suddenly attacked and beaten up. This happened in the royal gardens. Shouldn't Empress Fengming give an explanation?"
"Uh..." Regardless of whether it was true or not, Feng Han felt somewhat speechless.
Qiqige's expression instantly turned to disbelief: "What! Nineteenth Brother! How can you talk nonsense? You were clearly..."
"By what? Qiqige! Do you want to ruin my reputation?" Ulihan glared at her fiercely, the veins on his exposed arm bulging, as if he wanted to use this to make trouble about the drugging incident earlier.
"Nineteenth brother..." Qiqige wanted to argue, but was interrupted.
Feng Han raised her hand to stop her, and directly handed the conversation to Ulihan:
"A man's reputation is of utmost importance. As the elder sister, the eighteenth princess should give this matter much thought!"
Furthermore, judging from the wounds on the Nineteenth Prince's body, they seem more like the result of a beating. I wonder if he was able to clearly see the face of the perpetrator?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ulihan. Sure enough, Ulihan's body and face were covered in wounds. If it weren't for someone deliberately beating him to vent their anger, no one would believe it. Thinking of this, everyone silently expressed their sympathy for him.
Only Ji Wan, Lin Shu, and Xu Jingyun had complicated expressions.
At this moment, Ulihan's gaze swept over Ji Wan, who looked as guilty as a quail, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes. His gaze then swept over Lin Shu, finally settling on Xu Jingyun. His eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice:
"I did not see who it was. However, I do have someone I suspect!"
"Oh? Who is it? Speak freely. If what you say is true, I will certainly uphold justice for you." Feng Han thought he was trying to change the subject, so she said magnanimously.
Ulihan's eyes flickered, he raised his hand and circled it before finally pointing to the Southern Li delegation beside him, saying with certainty, "The Crown Prince of the Southern Li Regent!"
Having said that, ignoring the astonished looks on everyone's faces, she continued with a series of shocking words: "He has always been dissatisfied with my pursuit of Lin Shu, and he often calls me an ugly thing! I hope Empress Fengming will give an explanation!"
Feng Han cursed inwardly: Give me an explanation? What explanation?! These are people from Nanli. Does she, the Phoenix Cry Empress, intend to overstep her bounds?
You can't even pick a suitable scapegoat. For example, Ji Wan would be a good choice. If you frame her, that idiot would definitely dare to beat you up on the spot. Wouldn't that be more credible than your conjecture?
Xu Jingyun looked up and met Wulihan's gaze. Seeing the look in his eyes, she knew that his actions were retaliation for her earlier teasing.
Ha! I never expected this ugly thing to be so unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss! Moreover, although it seems simple and honest, it is actually shrewd and cunning!
Thinking of this, Xu Jingyun couldn't help but glance at Ji Wan with pity. Tsk tsk tsk! This simpleton is probably going to be completely controlled by someone in the future!
