The woman, wiping her tears, ran to the Empress and knelt down, "Your Majesty, see clearly! It was clearly Young Master Qin who rushed in recklessly, intending to do something unkind to me the moment he saw me. He was discovered, and now he's trying to turn the tables on me!"

The young eunuch also knelt beside the woman and said, "I didn't call Master Qin just now. I heard Auntie cry for help, and when I came over, I saw him trying to do something bad to Auntie. I tried to stop him, but who knew he would get so angry that he wanted to kill us!"

The young eunuch pointed at Qin Can angrily and said, "You are trying to commit a crime in the Eastern Palace. You really don't take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty seriously!"

The woman cried and tried to commit suicide: "After all, I am the Crown Prince's woman. Young Master Qin humiliated me like this. I will not live anymore!"

The Queen quickly ordered someone to stop the woman and angrily said, "You, the Qin family, are going too far!"

After being stopped, the woman just knelt on the ground and cried.

The Queen looked at Qin Can and said, "The evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"

Qin Can looked around and saw that all he saw were concubines from the harem and princesses from the royal family. He smiled indifferently. This group of people appeared right after the incident happened. It was obvious that they wanted to put the blame on him, and they succeeded, breaking up the marriage between the prince and the Qin family.

If it fails, it will also be a warning to Qin Wan. Will her life in the palace be easy in the future?

Fortunately, Qin Can was very alert and did not enter the house, otherwise he would not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Seeing Qin Can remained silent, the Queen smiled and said confidently, "Nothing to say? Then I will summon Marquis Wu to the palace to see what good things his good grandson has done."

Qin Can said calmly, "Of course, I have to tell His Majesty. The three judges will hold a joint trial to see if I did it, whether they are making false accusations or were threatened by someone. We will know at the first trial."

The Queen's face turned cold. "You still have the nerve to hold a joint trial by the three courts? This scandal still needs a joint trial by the three courts? You're not afraid of losing face, but Your Majesty and I are!"

Qin Can pointed around and smiled generously: "With so many people watching, isn't it embarrassing?"

"These are also members of the imperial clan. They can't be embarrassed in public. Once the three judges hold a joint trial, the whole world will know!" The Queen's face was filled with sorrow: "You have ruined the reputation of the Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion and the reputation of His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, it's useless to say these things. Let's send someone to call His Majesty, and then have the three courts conduct a joint trial." Qin Can straightened his back and spoke in a resounding voice, "I did sprinkle perfume on myself just now. The eunuch has seen me, so I naturally smell of perfume. I didn't touch that woman, let alone get close to her. She doesn't smell of perfume. So you can tell whether I did it or not just by smelling her."

After saying that, Qin Can looked at the Queen again and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, it would be better if you call for help quickly. If you are slow, the scent of the dew will dissipate."

The queen didn't expect Qin Can to be so stubborn and actually have a backup plan!

In that case, don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless. She will make this matter an ironclad case!

The Queen's eyes were fierce: "Come here, the eldest son of the Qin family is defiling the harem, drag him away and beat him to death with sticks!"

"Good, good, what a great show!"

Applause rang out from behind the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw that the door of the side hall behind them opened, and two figures appeared in front of everyone.

The queen saw the two of them clearly, and was startled. She knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The concubines and princesses followed suit and saluted.

After a moment of shock, Qin Can also knelt down to greet: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor ignored them and only looked at Qin Can. The Qin family was indeed a place of hidden talents. With a smile in his eyes, he raised his hand and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Can stood up and stood aside after expressing his gratitude.

The woman and the young eunuch saw that the prince and the emperor were in the side hall opposite, and they thought that they had seen clearly how they had framed the eldest son of the Qin family, so they wanted to bite their tongues to commit suicide immediately.

Two eunuchs rushed out from the crowd, quickly removed the jaws of the two men, and threw them at the emperor's feet.

Xie Qing stood with his arms folded in his sleeves, and said cheerfully, "Father, look, I'm just getting married, and some people are already getting restless. If my child is born in the future, won't these people also be unable to sleep or eat?"

The emperor glanced at him sideways and said, "Is this the fun you said you wanted me to come and watch?"

Xie Qing said with a chuckle, "It's so lively, isn't it? In my son's East Palace, so many people are preparing to perform on stage. Come to the East Palace more often in the future, I'm sure there will be more excitement to watch."

"I'm so busy with myriad affairs, I don't have time for your nonsense!" The emperor scolded with a smile, kicking the eunuch on the shoulder: "How dare you mess with the East Palace and slander loyal officials!"

The Queen looked at the Emperor in astonishment. His actions today were probably not because he disliked the Crown Prince, but because it was all a setup by the Emperor from the beginning to the end! A setup by the Emperor and the Crown Prince!

The Queen looked at the Emperor with complicated eyes, quickly adjusted her mood, and said, "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the Crown Prince's wedding. Seeing blood is unlucky. It is better to lock him up first."

The emperor seemed to have just realized that the empress was still kneeling. He stepped forward, bent down, helped her up, patted her hand soothingly, and said, "Don't worry, Queen. These two people are so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter that they dared to frame the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanwu. I will punish them severely! Come, detain them and interrogate them after the Crown Prince's wedding!"

Xie Qing frowned. What evidence could be found after the night had passed? He said, "Father, this happened in the East Palace, so I will make the decision myself."

"Okay, you can handle it yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." The emperor nodded, nodded to Qin Can, and said to the queen: "Leave early after you finish your work here. Let the young people have fun on their own. You will be busy tomorrow."

"Farewell, Your Majesty." The Queen and others knelt in greeting.
