Concubine Xian trembled with anger.
Fu Liu quickly helped her up: "Your Highness, where did you get hurt?"
Concubine Xian's face turned purple, and she pointed at Jiang Ning with her sharp, red-nailed hand, tremblingly saying, "This is a rebellion... I must report this to His Majesty and ask him to uphold justice!"
"Oh?" Jiang Ning asked, "What do you want to accuse me of?"
"To accuse you of assaulting your elders!"
"In that case..." Jiang Ning rubbed her wrist, "I won't be polite."
Concubine Xian took a step back: "What are you going to do?"
"I cannot allow myself to be wronged and shoulder the blame falsely. Since you say I hit you, I must finish hitting you, then let you sue me!" Jiang Ning slapped her across the face and called out to the people in the courtyard, "What are you all standing around for? Help me out!"
Concubine Xian's cheek burned as she fell to the ground.
