C275 Who the Hell Was the Devil

"It's them who are going too far! Princess, it's them who are jealous that the little deer is doted on by you!" That child could not hit anyone and could only plead with Mu Ruqing.

"Little Deer is a younger sister. We should have let her go, but she is going too far."

"Once, we played by the pond. Because we pulled up a lotus flower and did not give it to her, she quarreled. If I had given it to her, she wouldn't have jumped into the pond by herself... "

"When we rescued her, she looked for Ms Lingyue and said that we pushed her. We even received punishment."

The children who were pointed out to bully said one after another. They seemed to have suffered too much injustice and even their voices choked.

"Wang Fei, it was I who did not teach the sisters well." The elder child was full of guilt and apology, "If only I had found out earlier. In the past, I saw that they were getting along harmoniously, so I didn't pay much attention to them, so it turns out..."

"Princess! They lied!" The child who spoke up for Little Deer was still unconvinced. He broke free from Yu Longchen's hand and grabbed at the children wildly. He grabbed a few Blood Dao Children on their arms.

The elder child hugged her and pulled her to the side. He shouted, "Enough! The sisters all knew the little deer's temper. Could it be that all of them misunderstood her?"

"Eldest Sister... Wuwuwu..." The child was lying on the ground and crying too much. He no longer tried to distinguish between the crying and crying, covering up the sound of the child who was being scratched.

Lingyue came back and whispered in Mu Ruqing's ear. What those few girls said was indeed true.

Mu Ruqing did not know what to believe for a moment, "What about just now?"

"Just now, the deer ran back from outside and took my hairpin. If she said that I don't give it to her, she could have gotten it too. I chased after her and she stepped on two stacked stools. She climbed up the cabinet and onto the beam." It was still the child who was accused of bullying the little deer. "Then Big Sister came in. After persuading her a bit, she became anxious. She said that if Big Sister doesn't agree to it, she'll jump down from above."

"I thought it would be enough to coax her But the deer slipped and fell, its head facing down... " Eldest Sister lowered her head, and her tears fell to the ground one after another. Because she was sad, her fingernails dug into the floor tiles and turned red.

"Is that really the case?" Mu Ruqing looked at the child who was standing still and the children all nodded their heads at the same time.

"Since that is the case. Then you all must get along harmoniously in the future. The deer has already left, and all the grudges have gone with her. But her death, in the end, has nothing to do with you all. I'll punish all of you for copying Buddhist scriptures for her." Mu Ruqing sighed. At first, she did not believe it, but now... She could not help but think that other than having a good time with the deer... It was said that the deer was pampered and proud. It snatched things from its sisters. Would it collude to deceive her?

If there were only a few of them, there was a possibility that they would lie, but if all of them said so, then it should be the deer's problem.

"Even if the Princess doesn't say it, we will still do it." All the children knelt down, except for the one who spoke up for the deer at the start.

"Lingyue, let the deer accompany her grandfather." Mu Ruqing's words were somewhat dispirited. Even she felt that she had been deceived by the deer. She felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Lingyue blessed herself and let Eldest Sister lead the other children to another room with her.

The child who initially helped the deer speak did not leave and just looked at Mu Ruqing crying.

"What else do you want to say?" Mu Ruqing squatted down and looked at her strangely.

"Princess, the deer is very good, she is very good! It is not like what they said." The little girl heavily kowtowed a few times, her forehead almost bleeding.

"Could it be that your sisters are framing her?" Mu Ruqing sighed, "There are many things that are not what they look like on the surface."

"I only know that the deer treats me a lot and has never done what they say." The little girl did not get up. "Once, I clearly saw that the deer's clothes were cut into pieces! That was given to her by the Princess and she said she wanted to show it to me. But when she discovered that it was broken, she said it was bitten by a mouse. Princess, you have to believe me! You have to believe me."

" What do you think? " Mu Ruqing turned her head and looked at Yu Longchen. Yu Longchen waved his hand. If it was adults, he might still have some attention, but these were all children who were not yet fifteen. "Maybe this matter needs to be investigated properly."

"Alright, quickly get up." Mu Ruqing went to help her up, but she also did not get up.

"If Princess does not believe me, then I will use my life to prove it. The deer is already dead. The only one who truly treats me is her. Why don't I go with her too!" The little girl kowtowed even more heavily than before, with just two kowtows. Blood flowed down to the bridge of her nose.

"You get up first. I will check. I will definitely not wrongly accuse anyone." Mu Ruqing did not know who she should trust. Could it be that at such a young age, they already knew how to play such a heavy trick?

" Thank... Wang... Concubine. " The little girl was already sobbing silently.

"Come with me tonight." Mu Ruqing held her hand. If it was really as she said, she was afraid that if she went with those children, she would not live past tonight.

Yu Longchen knew the connection and could only follow behind. With some grievance, he pressed against Mu Ruqing's ear and asked, "Just let her sleep with Lingyue."

"En." Mu Ruqing rolled her eyes at him and turned around to comfort that child.

On Yun Xi's side. Huatine told her that the deer was dead and the matter had already started to stir up. That child was also taken away by Mu Ruqing.

"Mu Ruqing, I finally got what I wanted! You just wait to lose!" Yun Xi smiled happily. She had buried those children for a long time, but she did not expect them to be used in this place.

"Princess..." Huatine wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"What is it?" Yun Xi asked Huatine to put on the outer coat for her.

"That child..."

"If he dies, then so be it." Yun Xi did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, "It's not like I caused his death. As long as it does not affect my objective, that's good."

A trace of sorrow flashed across Huatine's eyes. Her movements slowed down a bit.

"Has Changxu made the arrangements?" Yun Xi tidied up the dress in front of her.

"Yes, he's already asleep. On Lingyue's side, those children were frightened and would definitely cling onto her."

"Very good. Later, we will go and fetch the prince." Yun Xi's eyes revealed excitement. As long as that Gu worked, why would she worry about not getting Yu Longchen's love?

The matter of the children tonight was only used to distract Mu Ruqing's attention.

Huatine had already ignited a sedative in her room and this kind of thing happened. Naturally, their minds would not be able to focus on such small details. As long as they went back, they would fall into a deep sleep in less than a quarter of an hour. At that time, it would be a success to bring Yu Longchen to his room.

Yun Xi covered her face and smiled happily. Mu Ruqing's most beloved child had died. No matter what the truth was, she would be sad for a long time. This was what Yun Xi hoped to see the most.

Mu Ruqing's pain was her happiness.

Mu Ruqing gave the child medicine and arranged her sleeping quarters. She consoled her and said that she would definitely investigate tomorrow. That child was still afraid. Mu Ruqing could only stay there to accompany her and wait for her to sleep. He lit the candle for her before returning to his room.

Yu Longchen came back first. After the banquet, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. In order to not make Mu Ruqing worry, he felt that it was a small problem and did not say anything. Just now when he returned to his room, he fell asleep.

Mu Ruqing came back to help him take off his clothes, took off his shoes, and hugged him. Tears flowed out.

She was clearly very sad. In front of her was still the innocent and cute little deer...

In less than a quarter of an hour, her eyelids drooped.
