"Alright, tell me everything! What exactly happened?"

Seeing that the area below had quieted down, Li Hongwen rubbed his aching forehead and demanded an imposing question.

"Father, this is what happened. Today, I took Fengxu to visit my elder brother, but we didn't expect that Princess Longxuan was also there. She pointed at my elder brother and called him a fool, and even beat him up."

Feng Xu couldn't stand it and exchanged a few words with her. Then, the woman pulled out a dark object and smacked Feng Xu on the forehead.

The Second Prince, Li Muchen, spoke first.

"Yes! That's how it happened. I was there at the time."

Zhou Fengyun started fawning over him again, and "Blood Purple Rose" couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"These two are truly shameless, distorting the truth like this."

“This servant can testify.”

“This servant can testify.”

...

A group of servants knelt down on the ground, including Li Muchen's men and servants from the Prince Xian's residence.

"I can also testify that I was present when Princess Longxuan killed Xu'er. At that time, I received a letter from Prince Lin asking for help, saying that someone was causing trouble at Prince Xian's residence."

When the old minister arrived, he saw Princess Longxuan choking Prince Xian. Xu'er cursed at her a few times, and then... sob sob..."

After the Vice Minister of War, Feng Ling, finished speaking, tears streamed down his face, adding to the vividness of his words.

"Blood Purple Rose" truly experienced what it means to have "many voices can melt metal and confuse right and wrong".

"You believe what they say?"

Seeing that Li Mufeng was staring at her, "Blood Purple Rose" asked a question without much hope.

Li Mufeng then used his large hand to envelop his small hand.

"Even if the whole world doesn't believe you, I do. You're not that kind of person."

These tender words moved "Blood Purple Rose" to tears, but she quickly regained her composure.

"No, I can't be moved by him. He already has a child with someone else, so why should I become a mistress who harms another family?"

Thinking this, "Blood Purple Rose" pried Li Mufeng's hand away.

"You should keep your distance from me so that you won't get involved with me."

"Husband and wife are one, you must not push me away."

Li Mufeng, leaving no room for refusal, pulled "Xue Ziwei" into his arms again. This time, he tightened his embrace, and no matter how much "Xue Ziwei" struggled, she couldn't break free.

Everyone was making their accusations very earnestly, but "Blood Purple Rose" and Li Mufeng seemed not to hear them and continued to flirt, making everyone furious.

Even Emperor Li Hongwen couldn't stand it anymore and cleared his throat.

"Princess Consort Longxuan, do you have anything else to say? Although Prince Xian is foolish, he is still my son. If you have truly insulted him, I will certainly not let you off."

Insulting a prince is a capital offense, are you aware of that?

“Father, Ziwei would never insult my elder brother. She is my princess consort, and she respects him enough. How could she…”

Before Li Mufeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted sternly by Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen.

Was Prince Longxuan present at the time?

"No, when I arrived, Feng Xu was already dead. My beloved consort, a weak woman, was surrounded by the men led by Lord Feng. If I hadn't arrived in time, I don't know how much more injustice my consort would have suffered!"

Li Mufeng spoke the truth, but when he said that Han Ziwei was a weak woman, everyone present rolled their eyes.

Can a woman who can "fight a hundred men single-handedly" be associated with the word "weak"?

"Alright, since you're not here, let Ziwei speak for herself."

Seeing that the Feng family was about to cause trouble again, Li Hongwen hurriedly interrupted his son. He didn't want Li Mufeng to be in the eye of the storm, simply because he was the son of his beloved and his most cherished son.

"If I were to say that Prince Lin led people to insult Prince Xian and even forced him to eat excrement, would Your Majesty believe me? I was only standing up for him when we clashed, and he tried to kill me. I had no choice but to fight back."

As for Feng Xu, it was because he uttered treasonous words; I was acting on behalf of Heaven.

When "Blood Purple Rose" spoke the truth, the surrounding area erupted in uproar.

"What?! King Rin forced King Xian to eat shit? That's impossible!"

"That's right! They're brothers, King Rin shouldn't be that cruel."

"The Wise King has gone mad. What is there for the King of Lin to fear? Why should he be treated so disrespectfully?"

...

The officials were in an uproar. Emperor Li Hongwen's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. Li Muchen shouted in a deep voice.

“Nonsense, Father! You must not believe this witch’s nonsense. Even if I were a monster, I would never humiliate my elder brother like this. Please investigate, Father.”

In an attempt to escape punishment, Li Muchen went so far as to curse himself, while "Blood Purple Rose" rolled her eyes again.

"What a shameless scoundrel."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Li Hongwen was trembling with rage. Seeing the situation was turning sour, the eunuch Zhou called out twice. Li Hongwen suppressed his anger.

"You all have conflicting accounts of this matter; how can I believe you?"

"Your Majesty, are you confused? Isn't this obvious?"

"King Lin has so many witnesses, while Princess Longxuan only has one. Do I need to spell out who's right and who's wrong?"

Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen once again displayed her imperial authority, and another round of whispers arose from below.

"What the Empress Dowager says is absolutely right. I knew it! It's impossible for Prince Lin to harm his own brother and make Prince Xian eat excrement. That's utter nonsense."

"Exactly, are all these people lying? Princess Longxuan was never a kind woman to begin with. She had a bad reputation before and often beat and scolded the servants. It's possible that she would scold the Prince Xian because he was mentally challenged."

"Truly, the most vicious heart belongs to a woman; she even dares to turn the tables and slander King Lin. Her crime is compounded."

...

After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus again and shouted in unison:

"I beg Your Majesty to handle this matter impartially and execute Princess Longxuan. Those who insulted Prince Xian, killed Prince Feng, and framed Prince Lin should all be executed along with their entire families."

"No, Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. This old minister believes that my daughter could not possibly have done such a treasonous thing. This matter must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

We urge Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly.

To Xue Ziwei's utter surprise, her father, Han Bingmo, stepped forward. Just as she was feeling comforted, Han Bingmo abruptly changed the subject.

"Even if she really did this, Your Majesty, please consider my decades of diligent service and only execute this rebellious daughter. To be honest, I am also suffering greatly! Waaah..."

Han Bingmo burst into tears, then choked back sobs.

"This rebellious daughter is lawless at home, she has killed countless people, even the old minister's wife, Princess Huaiyin, was probably killed by her! Waaah..."

"What? The government issued a notice saying that Princess Huaiyin was killed by bandits. Could it be a lie, and that Princess Longxuan killed her instead?"

“It’s possible. This old minister has long heard that Princess Longxuan and Princess Huaiyin are at odds. Even Princess Huaiyin’s imprisonment was orchestrated by Princess Longxuan. Isn’t it reasonable for her to be killed?”

...

The officials below murmured amongst themselves again.

"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you may send someone to my home to inquire how many people this rebellious daughter has killed recently. As her father, I feel deeply ashamed! Waaah..."

Han Bingmo was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered during this time.

"Nonsense! Those people wanted to kill my heir, and the princess deserved to kill them."

They shouldn't blame the Princess; they should be grateful to her. If the Princess hadn't intervened and killed them, given my temper, I would have killed their entire family for insulting my heir.

Li Mufeng's act of protecting his wife once again sparked much discussion among the court officials.

"It seems that Princess Longxuan's disturbance at Prince Xian's residence was indeed at Prince Longxuan's behest. Judging from these two, they are clearly in cahoots."

"Of course, husband and wife are one. I would never believe that the things Princess Longxuan did were done without the authorization of Prince Longxuan."

...

"Your Majesty, have you heard this? Prince Longxuan has condoned his princess's murders more than once or twice. You absolutely cannot continue to tolerate this, otherwise the officials will be dissatisfied, the people will be in turmoil, and the world will surely descend into chaos!"

Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen spoke again.

The testimony of Prime Minister Han Bingmo can be said to have pushed "Blood Purple Rose" to the brink of utter ruin.

"I beg Your Majesty to kill Princess Longxuan and severely punish Prince Longxuan."

"I beg Your Majesty to kill Princess Longxuan and severely punish Prince Longxuan."

...

If there were one or two who were not entirely convinced just now, after hearing Han Bingmo's words and the Empress Dowager's remarks, they all sided with the Feng family.

"Damn, just for killing a scumbag, she's dragged it into the matter of bringing disaster to the country and the people. This Empress Dowager is really something."

And these opportunists, can't they use their brains? They're princesses now, why would they bother a fool?

"Blood Purple Rose" rolled her eyes again, and was just about to produce evidence when Li Mufeng spoke up once more.

“I have witnesses. There are two other people with the Prince Xian. They are my elder brother’s personal maids and attendants. They can testify that my queen went to rescue people, not to kill them.”

"Announce."

Li Hongwen spoke in a deep voice.

"Geng Yuan, a guard from the Prince Xuanxian's residence, and his maid Yuemei come to pay their respects."

The eunuch, Zhou Gonggong, shouted in a high-pitched voice.

Li Mufeng thought that someone could finally prove Xue Ziwei's innocence, but the testimonies of the two people surprised both Xue Ziwei and Li Mufeng.
