Chapter 492 What a fuss
As soon as she said this, the court officials of Daqian stopped working.
"Princess, what do you mean? It was you who proposed the competition of controlling beasts with sound, but now that Daqian has won, you are biting back!"
"That's right. How can we let the tiger hurt people?"
"Your Highness, please speak sensibly!"
In the end, no matter whether it was true or not, the court officials of Daqian would never admit it.
Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry. She looked at Princess Yuanxia and smiled, "How could the princess think that Shuyi let the tiger hurt people?"
"If it weren't for you, how could the tiger attack me!" Princess Yuanxia spoke in a sharp voice, and she was very weak.
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were deep, and she was neither anxious nor impatient: "The tiger was out of control, and I tried my best to calm it down and save the princess in times of danger. What was wrong with that? If it weren't for me, the princess would not have lost an arm, but her life!"
Shen Shuyi spoke in a loud voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone responded.
"That's right. If the county lady hadn't remained calm and saved the princess from the jaws of death, the princess wouldn't be standing here and speaking nonsense!"
"I didn't expect Yuanxia to act like this. Not only do they repay kindness with hatred, they also try to turn the tables!"
"I don't know how many people the county lady saved today. Princess, you just had bad luck. You can't slander our Daqian county lady just because you lost an arm!"
"That's right. It's not just your Princess Yuanxia who was injured today. Didn't you see how many soldiers of Daqian were injured?"
When it comes to this, the Ninth Princess Xiao Canyang also said: "What a fuss, don't mention you, don't you see that my arm is also scratched!"
Xiao Canyang's words made Princess Yuanxia so angry that her eyes turned red and she almost vomited blood.
What’s all the fuss about?
She lost an arm, and she compares it to her scratches?
Daqian is really going too far!
Princess Yuanxia suppressed her anger, her face turned pale, and she forced herself to speak: "May I ask, County Princess, why did the tiger suddenly become obedient after you played the piano, but suddenly became crazy when it came to me?"
Shen Shuyi looked calm: "Shuyi doesn't know why the tiger suddenly became violent and even broke out of the cage. Shuyi has no ability to control the beast, but I will try my best."
"Fortunately, the sound of the piano had some effect and prevented it from hurting more people. As for the princess... Shuyi didn't know why it suddenly lost control and attacked the princess. Maybe there was something about the princess that attracted it?"
Princess Yuanxia gritted her teeth and sneered, "Oh, what nonsense! How could there be anything on me? According to the county lady, this tiger's loss of control has nothing to do with you at all?"
Shen Shuyi said calmly: "The tiger lost control and injured people first, and Shuyi tried his best later. Princess, what do you think Shuyi has to do with it?"
Princess Yuanxia's throat tightened, and she couldn't find any evidence at this moment.
Her gaze suddenly fell on Shen Jingyu who was standing beside her, and she angrily said, "That's you! Ever since you started playing the piano, the tiger started to lose control and rushed out of the cage. What do you have to say!"
Shen Jingyu's face looked grim, and she was obviously frightened by the scene just now.
What made her even more uneasy was that she had anticipated that she would be involved.
"What do you want to say? What on earth did you do? The tiger was so obedient when I played the zither, but why did it act like a madman when it was your turn?"
The more Princess Yuanxia talked, the more certain she became: "Yes, it must be you! Since you have the ability to attract butterflies, you must be able to control tigers! What is your intention in plotting to murder me? What is your intention in Daqian!"
Shen Jingyu's hands and feet were cold, and she was speechless in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, please understand. I have never had any contact with this tiger before. How can I control it? What Her Royal Highness said is too far-fetched. After all, this tiger not only hurt Her Royal Highness, but also hurt the prince and princess of Daqian..."
"Then tell me why the tiger suddenly went out of control after you played the piano!" Princess Yuanxia was trembling all over.
Shen Jingyu's eyes darkened as she looked at Princess Yuanxia: "It was the princess who mentioned the matter of controlling the tiger with the zither. If the princess hadn't mentioned it, there wouldn't have been these accidents. I would like to ask, could it be that the princess did something?"
Princess Yuanxia's eyes turned red with choking after hearing these words. She laughed angrily and said, "Well, this is how you Daqian behave! If Your Majesty doesn't give me an explanation today, you can expect us Yuanxia to point our swords at Daqian!"
The Yuanxia envoy also said: "Our princess is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty. This time, we Yuanxia come with sincerity. If you Qianguo cannot give us an explanation, you will be ready to fight with us Yuanxia one day!"
"What do you mean, Yuan Xia? Do you really think that I, Daqian, am afraid of you?"
"I think this is a conspiracy of yours, Yuan Xia. You want to put the blame on us, Da Qian? Bah, dream on!"
"..."
For a while, the officials of Daqian court and the envoys and soldiers of Yuanxia started to curse at each other, making it very lively.
Shen Shuyi had to admit that Yuanxia's strategy was much more difficult to deal with than Luo's.
When two countries compete with each other, sometimes what they need is a legitimate reason.
No matter what is said now, Daqian is not in the right. After all, the tiger really lost control when Shen Jingyu was playing the piano, and Princess Yuanxia was injured in Daqian's hall.
Emperor Qianwu spoke in a deep voice: "I am also heartbroken that the princess was injured, but this matter is strange and should be thoroughly investigated. However, if the princess thinks that she can use this to threaten Daqian, she is totally wrong!"
"Although Yuanxia is strong, it is not yet able to dominate the world. If Yuanxia wants to go to war with Daqian, Daqian will fight to the end!"
Emperor Qianwu's words were extremely tough, and it was obvious that he would not be manipulated by Princess Yuanxia.
Princess Yuanxia knew that neither country would dare to go to war rashly, and that at most it would be a minor friction along the border. She immediately shed tears and her attitude softened.
"This princess naturally has no intention of being an enemy of Daqian. Now I just want an explanation. Why did the tiger get out of control after Miss Shen played the piano? Why did the tiger attack me after the Princess of Changning played the piano?"
Princess Yuanxia was really puzzled. They had made all the arrangements well, so why did the tiger not only not attack the royal family of Daqian, but instead turned its gun to attack her!
If the tiger getting out of the cage out of control when Shen Jingyu was playing the piano was still within her plan, then what on earth did the Princess of Changning County do to make her plan fail?
Hearing this, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Shuyi, what do you want to say?"
Shen Shuyi said respectfully: "I have already said that I do not have the ability to tame animals. I just felt that this tiger was particularly manic, so I used the sound of the zither to match its movements at the beginning. After a period of coordination, the tiger's behavior will also be affected by the sound of the zither."
"However, it is only an influence. I cannot stop this tiger from hurting people. And everyone in the field must have seen clearly that since Shu Yi played the piano, this tiger did not only attack Princess Yuan Xia."
There was no flaw in what he said.
It seemed like Shen Shuyi really saved her life!
Princess Yuanxia didn't get anything out of her question and felt depressed, but she couldn't produce any evidence to prove that the tiger was controlled by the county lord!
At this moment, the imperial physician who had just treated Princess Yuanxia seemed to remember something and suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I may know why the tiger suddenly went crazy towards Princess Yuanxia..."
