This statement seems to be an attempt to exploit public opinion. As a prostitute, how dare she criticize these people in the audience?

If she admitted that she was the one who framed them, wouldn't that be like calling them blind? Then Yanhong would have no chance of survival from now on.

But if I don't admit it, then I will definitely be punished when I return home for making groundless accusations today, and I'm afraid the sisters who are traveling with me will no longer believe me.

For a moment, Yanhong was in a dilemma. The people in the audience were still making a fuss. In her excitement, Yanhong pushed Qin Xuezhen down.

"You're always confusing right and wrong. You're not here to uphold justice. You're just biased towards Shui Linglong!"

Qin Xuezhen knew that the other party was in a state of panic. She smiled and turned around, but before she could say anything, she felt a huge pain in her chest.

Seeing that she was about to fall from the platform, Qin Xuezhen grabbed around in panic and grabbed the silk beside her.

The silk was covered with many petals that had just been scattered. As the petals fluttered, the mask on Qin Xuezhen's face fell off.

Perhaps it was really a melodramatic plot in ancient costume novels. When the mask fell off, the hat on Qin Xuezhen's head was also knocked off. Her three thousand black hair fluttered in the wind, her lips were red and her teeth were white. The exquisite and beautiful integration instantly stunned everyone.

The second prince, who was standing on a high place, saw this scene.

I don’t know if it was due to the influence of the plot, but the second prince actually grabbed the window frame with both hands, as if he wanted to fly out to save someone.

But before he could lean out, the third prince slammed the window shut so quickly and violently!

"My hand!!" The Second Prince frantically pulled his hand free, gnashing his teeth in hatred as he looked at the bruises on it. "What are you doing? Are you trying to murder my brother?"

The second prince shook his painful hand and muttered a few words in annoyance. When he looked up, he saw his two brothers staring at him with murderous eyes.

The eldest prince even bolted the window shut.

"What did you want to do just now? Were you going out to save her? Are you really attracted to this woman?"

The Second Prince was stunned for a moment. Just now, he really had an urge to go out and save people. When her mask fell off and her long black hair fluttered, he felt his heart beating faster and had an indescribable feeling.

But after waking up, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. According to common sense, should he save her and fall in love with her at first sight?

Although the second prince had some doubts in his heart, he didn't want his two brothers to look down on him, so he still said a few words.

"You're talking nonsense! Where did I say I was going to save her? I'm just curious, how will those men in the audience react when they see she's a girl?"

The eldest prince and the third prince obviously did not believe it, especially the eldest prince who immediately called people over.

"Come here, the two of you must watch the Second Prince send him back to the palace. Don't let him escape halfway."

The second prince wanted to say something, but seeing the stern looks of his two brothers, he had to shut up.

On the other side, Qin Xuezhen was indeed in some trouble. Her identity as a girl was exposed, and people in the audience were pointing fingers at her.

Yanhong grabbed her wrist and revealed to everyone, "You all saw it, right? She was the one who went on stage in Shui Linglong's place. If you don't believe me, you can take off her shoes and socks now. She accidentally bumped into something on her toe when she was going on stage just now, and she must have a bruise on her toe!"

The reason why Yanhong dared to speak so righteously was because she was the one who put the thing that was bumped against her.

After she found out that Shui Linglong did not go on stage, she wanted to catch the imposter, but the other party was wearing a mask, so she thought of inflicting some injuries on her body to make it easier to find someone.

Now her plan finally came in handy. Qin Xuezhen retreated repeatedly. She couldn't bear to have her shoes and socks taken off here.

My reputation was already very bad because of the incident of falling into the water in the palace. If I were to be stripped of my shoes and socks in this brothel, I might get away with it and my father would beat me to death.

So she retreated again and again, and Shui Linglong stepped forward to uphold justice for her.

"Yanhong, don't go too far. How do you know she's a prostitute? You're going to take off her shoes and socks in public. What if she's just a decent girl out for fun and suddenly steps up to seek justice? Aren't you just trying to make her die to prove her innocence?"

This is true, but someone in the audience quickly realized it.

"This girl can't take off her shoes, but Miss Shui Linglong can. She just took off her shoes and socks to dance. Since Miss Yanhong said you have an injury on your foot, why not take it off and let everyone see it?"

Shui Linglong suddenly became panicked. At this time, several indignant female contestants even wanted to step forward and forcibly take off her shoes and socks.

Qin Xuezhen knew very well that he couldn't sacrifice himself at the moment, so while everyone's eyes were on Shui Linglong, he glanced around and saw the background wall behind the stage.

It has to be said that the ancients also knew how to enjoy themselves. In order to achieve better stage effects, they set up a rack behind the stage.

There were colorful lanterns hanging on the shelf, which was simply fixed with two ropes.

Qin Xuezhen aimed at the target, pulled out the dagger he used for self-defense, and cut the fixing rope tied to the shelf. The shelf behind him suddenly shook.

Everyone's attention was focused on the shelf. While no one was paying attention, Qin Xuezhen cut another fixed rope.

Then the shelf fell down, and Qin Xuezhen took advantage of the chaos to escape. Unfortunately, when Shui Linglong rushed over to look for her, she was pushed away by her.

The shelf fell backwards, and behind it was a food street formed by small vendors. There were many people on the street at that time, and the falling shelf was bound to hurt innocent people. When the people who had just been surrounding the stage saw this situation, they rushed to rescue people.

No one noticed that Shui Linglong was being stepped on by them.

After Qin Xuezhen escaped, she kept touching her chest, thankful that she was fine.

When I looked back, I saw Shui Linglong had fainted on the side, and Yanhong was still beside her. It seemed that she was not seriously injured.

"Phew, luckily I'm fine. I almost couldn't get away. After all, she's a government official's daughter. If she had been caught, I would have been dead!"

Qin Xuezhen patted her chest in fear and walked away amidst the raging flames, wailing and screams.

The second prince was halfway there when he heard the noise and shook off the people around him and hurried forward.

As soon as I arrived, I saw people screaming in pain. Many people were seriously injured by the fire, and the culprit had long disappeared.

The eldest prince and the third prince had also arrived here long ago. When they heard the helpless cries of the people, their faces were as gloomy as if water could drip out of them, and their fists were clenched tightly!
