Seeing that everyone was deliberately favoring Tian Yu, the Emperor noticed that Tian Yu glared at the Crown Prince. Suddenly, she had a bright idea and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, the thing is, I was bored, so I wandered around the neighborhood. I came across a little rabbit and wanted to catch it, but I lost it while following it. As I was looking around, I saw a frightening scene, and my legs went weak and I couldn't stand up."

"What did you see?" the Emperor asked.

Tian Yu could tell the Crown Prince was very nervous, and Li Weiwei on the stands was probably just as nervous. The others behind her were also worried that Tian Yu might let something slip. Tian Yu continued, "I was lying in the grass, afraid to make a sound, when I peeked out and saw a one-eyed wolf staring at a pregnant fawn. There was also a dead rabbit on the ground nearby. Seeing that the pregnant fawn was about to be killed by the wolf, I rushed over and bit the wolf too. As a result, the wolf turned its attention to me. Luckily, they arrived in time and saved my life. Compared to hunting, our Wu Kingdom definitely lost, but they saved three lives, which is a great achievement." Hearing Tian Yu's story, the others breathed a sigh of relief, then tried hard to suppress their laughter.

"Three lives?!" the Emperor asked in bewilderment.

"Your Majesty, there are three lives: my life, the two lives of the fawn and its unborn child, exactly three lives. The one-eyed wolf also escaped a calamity. We couldn't bear to harm him because we felt sorry for him."

"Are any of you injured?"

"Your Majesty need not worry. The princes and marquises arrived in time, and no one was injured. It was just that the one-eyed wolf was bitten by me."

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Mr. Tian is indeed extraordinary; he actually bit the wolf. What were you thinking?" the Emperor said.

“The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn’t think much about it. I just thought that since he likes to bite people randomly, I might as well bite him too.”

"What a brilliant move to use someone's own methods against them! This wolf has probably never encountered an opponent like you before," the Emperor said.

Tian Yu touched her head, thankfully the Emperor didn't ask too many questions, and she managed to get away with it.

“Mr. Tian, ​​you have excellent eloquence; I admire you,” Wen Liang suddenly said.

Tian Yu suddenly tensed up. Had he figured something out? Startled, Tian Yu quickly said, "No, it's just firsthand experience. Otherwise, even if I were the most eloquent person, I wouldn't be able to say it. My mouth still smells like wolf fur." ​​She wiped her mouth as she finished speaking.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Didn't His Majesty ask this old man to perform a divination for the Wu Kingdom? I think we should do it right here!" Wen Liang said.

In the imperial study, the emperor looked angrily at his four sons and said, "What exactly happened today? Speak!"

“Father, hasn’t Mr. Tian already explained it?” the Crown Prince stepped forward and said.

"I'll give you one more chance. What exactly happened?" the Emperor said, slamming his fist on the table.

All four knelt down, not daring to utter a sound. The Emperor, exasperated, said, "Fine, you won't talk, huh? Bring Li Weiwei up here."

Now the group could no longer hide their true intentions, and they gave the Crown Prince a look that said, "Good luck to you."

Li Weiwei was brought in and knelt on the ground, crying incessantly and begging the Emperor to spare her life.

"The imperial physician has diagnosed that Princess Chengning is over a month pregnant." The eunuch finished speaking and withdrew.

"Why aren't you telling the truth yet?"

The others remained silent. Li Weiwei was already so frightened she was about to faint. The Emperor said, "Alright, let me guess, is the sixth prince yours?"

"No! No, I wouldn't dare!" the Sixth Prince shook his head and said.

"If it's not yours, then it belongs to the third prince?" the Emperor asked, pointing at the third prince.

"Even I dare not?"

"You don't dare? Then you're the one who did it, Fifth Brother?"

"This!? Father, I have no interest in doing such a thing."

"That leaves only the Crown Prince. Why won't he admit it?!"

“Father, I was confused for a moment and fell into her trap. Please punish me.”

"Fine! You dare touch a princess sent for a political marriage! Guards!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not! Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! Please spare my life!"

"Take the Crown Prince away and give him fifty strokes of the cane. He will then face the wall in contemplation for a month. He is not to step out of the Crown Prince's residence without my permission."

He then called out to the door, "Let Li Guojiu in and take his precious daughter away."

Li Linfeng only just learned of his daughter's actions and, trembling with fear, knelt down abruptly, saying, "Your Majesty, it is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter. She did such a thing. If Your Majesty must blame someone, blame me! Don't blame the two children; punish me instead!"

"Alright, alright, stop acting. Now your daughter doesn't need to be married off, but who will?! Who will be married off?!"

"This old minister does not know; please make the decision, Your Majesty."

"By the way, where's Ling'er? I haven't seen her all day. Where did she go?"

"My third sister is unwell and has returned to her residence to rest," said Prince Wu.

"That's good. Then have the imperial physician examine the princess," the emperor said to the eunuch beside him.

"yes!"

"Alright, I'm tired. You may all leave! We'll talk about it tomorrow! Remember, the Chen delegation must not know about this!" The Emperor said angrily as he sat down, holding his head.

Seeing this, everyone quickly made their escape. Prince Wu had just reached the door when the Emperor called him back.

"Tian'er, what are your thoughts on what happened today?"

"What does 'Father Emperor' mean?!"

"The matter of Mr. Wen's divination."

“Father, although Mr. Wen’s divination is superb, I still do not believe that the world can actually be controlled by a woman.”

"That's what I think too, but as you know, Wenliang wouldn't just make things up. In any case, Tian Yu can't leave the capital. Let's keep her here and see how things go." The Emperor said with a headache, and then fell into deep thought as he recalled Wenliang's divination.

"Yes! Your subject understands." At the time, only Prince Wu was by the Emperor's side, so only they knew about this matter.
