187 The Truth
The birds finally stopped their poop attacks and just kept changing their formation in the sky. Song Yun raised her head and saw an ‘S’. After a while, she saw a ‘B’. Song Yun was shocked. Was there a big shot behind this?
The phoenix, which had been circling in the sky, finally lost its patience. It rushed down and flew toward Zhao Panpan. It stretched out its claws and directly grabbed her red veil and hair.
“Ah!” With a shrill scream, Lu Ping was so frightened that she took two steps back and fell to the ground. Zhao Panpan’s pink veil had been grabbed by phoenix, but it seemed that it had pulled her hair. A large piece of her scalp had been pulled off, revealing a bald spot was two fingers wide. Blood was dripping from it.
Zhao Panpan stood there with her hair disheveled. Red hairpins were scattered all over the ground, and there were even strands of her hair that had been pulled out, floating in the air. Under the veil, Zhao Panpan’s panicked little face was exposed in front of everyone. The most detestable thing was the phoenix. It actually held the veil in its mouth and flew three rounds around Zhao Panpan’s head, its face full of disgust. ‘Hahaha, this human, you ate my mate back then, and today I’ve finally had my revenge!’
The phoenix let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and ran away.
The crown prince was speechless. He felt that the Xixi from back then was different from the Xixi now, but the phoenix’s actions had confused him.
“Panpan.” The crown prince shot forward like an arrow, wanting to help Zhao Panpan up. Zhao Panpan held the crown prince’s hand with tears all over her face, shouting for the crown prince to save her. Just as the crown prince was about to comfort Zhao Panpan, a gentle breeze blew past and lifted the corner of Jiang Xi’s red veil. The crown prince seemed to have sensed something and raised his head. His mind went blank! It was as if a string had snapped, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Zhao Panpan, who had been leaning on the crown prince, was pushed to the side without mercy. The crown prince was shocked and his heart was in turmoil. When he saw Jiang Xi playing with the colorful bird feather casually, he took a step back in fear and clutched his heart, his whole body numb.
“Xixi… Xixi…” The crown prince instantly reacted. His eyes suddenly widened, and they were bloodshot. He suddenly turned his head and grabbed Zhao Panpan’s clothes. He gritted his teeth and asked in a trembling voice, “I will ask you one more time. After so many years, have you ever lied to me? Xixi! Is your nickname really ‘Xixi’?”
Zhao Panpan was frightened by the crown prince’s gaze. She shivered and tears began to fall.
“Brother Crown Prince, what’s wrong? Panpan is so scared, please save her. ” Zhao Panpan suddenly felt a little afraid of the crown prince. The crown prince looked at her deeply. The three-year-old girl he knew back then had never said that she was afraid. She would only pat her chest and tell him not to be afraid, and that she would protect him.
Not long after, Xiao Meili, who had heard the news, rushed over with her men. When she saw Zhao Panpan’s sorry state, she did not show any concern. Instead, she covered her nose and said, “You group of b*stards, hurry up and help Panpan up!” Xiao Meili gritted her teeth while the others helped Zhao Panpan up in a hurry.
“Where are you going? Get to the palace! Married people can’t turn back! Aren’t you stupid!” Xiao Meili furrowed her brows and found someone to arrange an inn for Zhao Panpan to enter. Then, she went to find the dress that she had previously despised and changed into it. After that, she hurried back to the palace.
The situation here gradually died down. After Zhao Panpan left, the magpies and rainbows at the Zhao residence’s entrance had also disappeared. The commoners at the entrance had also fled, and not a single person could be seen.
Hong Shan, who was supporting Jiang Xi, calmed herself down and said, “Miss, the auspicious time is about to arrive. Let’s quickly enter and step over the brazier first.”
The Zhao family’s servants were very agile. They cleaned up the bird poop at the entrance of the Zhao residence and then put a brazier at the door. Just as Jiang Xi stepped over the brazier, the fire in the brazier suddenly lowered a bit, as if it was afraid of burning Jiang Xi’s clothes.
The birds in the sky did not come out again until Jiang Xi entered the gate. They seemed to be disgusted by Zhao Panpan. Xiao Meili was both angry and anxious. She had never expected this. She had planned for so long, and it had failed at this point! Xiao Meili’s heart went numb at the thought of Zhao Panpan’s missing scalp. If the emperor were to see Zhao Panpan’s appearance, he would probably never touch her again. All of this was Jiang Xi’s fault!
