"I have been wronged! Princess, I have been wronged!" Hong Ye, bearing two swollen handprints, cried out injustice while slamming her head heavily onto the ground. Coincidentally, it happened to be a stone pathway. After knocking her head three or four times, a purple-black bruise swelled on her forehead.
Hong Ye's cries of injustice were accompanied by a sobbing tone, but Xia Yunxi didn't care. Her eyes were fixed on Tingsong Pavilion, trying to cause a commotion and draw Feng Cang out.
However, Xia Yunxi's plan went awry. Feng Cang had left the Royal Mansion early, knowing she would come. Now, she was left standing foolishly outside Tingsong Pavilion.
After waiting for a long time without any sound from inside, Xia Yunxi became anxious. She had given up Hong Ye for Feng Cang. Hong Ye had injured her head from knocking it, and she wondered if this would still not move Feng Cang enough to come out and look at her.
