The crackling rain hit everyone directly. They began to hide from the rain in a panic, looking at the raindrops falling outside the eaves.

Those who originally didn't believe Bai Xue's words suddenly looked at Yue Tong with strange eyes.

The emperor's expression became even more gloomy as he glanced at Yue Tong.

"Saint..."

His words had a hidden meaning, but he didn't say it directly. Yue Tong already understood that His Majesty was doubting her.

She was suddenly a little panicked. Others could doubt her, but she didn't care.

But Your Majesty absolutely cannot do that. If even Your Majesty doubts her, then her status as a saint will be meaningless.

Yue Tong knelt down hurriedly to explain to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please understand, I have just returned to the human world, so many of my abilities are not complete, but I met Bai Xue."

"A gentleman's actions are not about his intentions. Regardless of whether I concealed it or not, I did do it. As long as I am a saint, I can maintain peace in this area."

His Majesty immediately understood the meaning of her words.

Regardless of whether she is a real saint or not, as long as she uses this title to make the people believe in her and make the enemy countries afraid, she is the real saint.

The emperor originally didn't quite believe in the saint, but he absolutely could not let her fall into the hands of the enemy.

Otherwise, the soldiers will lose their fighting spirit and the people will lose their support.

The emperor smiled thoughtfully. If the saint was fake, then she would be easier to control.

So he smiled and went forward to help Yuetong up.

"You are so polite, Saint. How can I let you kneel down? Come, please give me a seat."

The eunuchs and palace maids hurried forward, pushed her to sit down, and entertained her in a kind manner.

Yue Tong looked at Shen Yuerong beside him with a proud look in his eyes.

That look seemed to say that you couldn't handle her at all.

Then, her eyes fell on Bai Xue, "Since you have nothing to do, why don't you come and serve me."

The look she gave Bai Xue was icy cold. As long as she fell into her hands, she would definitely have a hard time.

At this moment, Shen Yuerong stepped forward and brought Bai Xue to her side.

"Miss Bai Xue was frightened. I'm afraid she will need to rest for a few days before returning to the Saint. I believe the Saint is kind-hearted and will not pursue the matter."

Since Shen Yuerong said so, Yuetong could only let Bai Xue leave with her.

After an incense stick of time, the rain stopped as expected, and everyone at the banquet had different thoughts.

Many people began to have ideas about Bai Xue. If they could get such a capable person, it would definitely be of great benefit to them.

The prince thought so too.

He didn't know there was such a person around Yuetong before.

I originally thought that she was chosen because she had the ability to control the wind and rain.

After the banquet, the saint was arranged to sit on the Star Ascending Platform, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were driven away, saying that she did not need anyone to serve her.

The night enveloped the star-gazing platform, with faint candlelight lighting up the surroundings.

Yuetong was pacing in the room, as if waiting for someone to come.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared at the door, pushed it open and walked in.

The black shadow was wearing a long robe that covered his entire face, making it difficult to tell who he was.

His hoarse voice rang out.

"Tomorrow, His Majesty will propose to choose an auspicious day for you to move into Dengxingtai. This is equivalent to announcing to the world that the Saint has chosen this place."

She handed a porcelain bottle to Yuetong and slowly uttered a word.

"That day, you find an opportunity to put the poison in Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu's food. I will find someone to cooperate with them and say that they have done something wrong and are being punished by God."

Yue Tong looked at the white porcelain bottle in front of her and couldn't help asking, "What kind of poison is this?"

The shadow was stunned for a moment, "Don't you know? This is what you gave me before..."

"No, you're not!"

He left a word and turned to flee, but the palace door opened and Chi Mu and Heng Yu walked in with great force.

He swung the sword in his hand, and the hat on the black shadow's head fell off instantly, revealing his true face.

The black shadow was actually the prince.

The prince stared at Chi Mu in front of him with a sinister and threatening tone.

"I am the crown prince, Chi Mu, you must think carefully, and bear the consequences at your own risk."

He waved his hand, the cloak behind him swayed in the wind, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Even if you find out, what use would it be to me? Father doesn't know anything anyway."

"You can't produce evidence to arrest me."

His tone was full of smugness, and he opened his arms, looking arrogant as if the other party was helpless against him.

In the end, Chi Mu was not angry, he just spoke slowly.

"What do you see behind that?"

He turned around and saw Yuetong slowly tearing off the human skin mask on his face, revealing Shen Yuerong's beautiful face.

A group of people slowly walked out from behind the screen, led by the emperor, followed by the empress dowager and officials and ministers.

The palace maid immediately lit the lantern, and the hall was suddenly brightly lit.

The prince froze in place for a moment, and quickly spoke with an innocent look.

"Father, why are you here?"

The emperor walked up to the prince, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, scolding him coldly.

"Who told you to do this, you bastard?"

The prince covered his face with his hands, anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and made a tearful accusation.

"To be honest with you, Father, I am suspicious of my uncle and aunt, so I arranged for the Saint to give them some drugs to test them."

"These medicines are not poisonous, they can only make them weaker. I am doing this for my father and the country."

He looked extremely grief-stricken, and he acted it very well.

And Shen Yuerong walked forward slowly, opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to him.

"Since it's not poisonous, please give it a try, Your Highness."

The prince looked at the round pill in front of him, swallowed, and slowly took it.

But he just held it in his hand and didn't eat it, accusing Shen Yuerong.

"Aunt, I want to apologize to you. I doubted you before, but you can't be so aggressive."

An interested smile appeared on Shen Yuerong's lips, "Didn't you say that this pill is not poisonous? Then why can't I eat it?"

"Could it be that the prince is feeling guilty and that's why he doesn't want to eat?"

The prince looked at the pill in his hand, gritted his teeth and put it directly to his mouth. Before he swallowed it, he pretended that his hand was shaking and dropped the pill to the ground.

"What a pity! If the aunt gives me another one, I will definitely use it to prove my innocence."

He turned his head to look in the direction of the emperor, suddenly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed several times.

"Of course I can take the pills, but I'm worried that they have been replaced a long time ago. If I die here, I hope you will take care of me."

As he said this, tears flowed down his face and he looked extremely pitiful.

The emperor took a glance and felt a little moved, after all, he was his son.

So he was about to open his mouth to forgive the prince, but he heard Shen Yuerong's deep voice.
