Wei Fu also knelt down and said, "I am willing to guarantee Princess Chengqian. She would never do such a thing!"
Shangguan Chaolu said sarcastically, "You are just an outsider, how much can you possibly know about Princess Chengqian?"
“That’s enough!”
A cold and sharp shout came from behind Shangguan Chaolu.
When everyone heard the sound and looked over, they found that the most important person among them had not spoken yet.
The Xian Wang couple and the Liang Wang couple looked at each other, full of confidence, thinking that Shangguan Shu would definitely take advantage of Zhao Ying's misfortune.
Zhao Yao felt sympathetic, worried that Shangguan Shu would ruin her plans.
However... in this situation, he was helpless, otherwise he wouldn't have remained silent. Moreover, he was also part of her plan. It was he who had injured Zhao Quan...
Shangguan Shu lifted his robe, knelt, and saluted. He performed the entire act with such grace and elegance that everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, wondering if he was the male traitor who had sparked the war between the two princesses...
"Your Majesty... According to Princess Huaian, Princess Chengqian wanted to kill Zhao Quan to silence him because the truth of the incident fourteen years ago was exposed. Therefore, she plotted against Zhao Quan and Hu Yanxue tonight. If tonight's incident does not involve Princess Chengqian, then the above reasoning is invalid.

"What do you mean, my dear?"

Zhao Yao felt a tightness in her chest, and then a dense fear and chill spread throughout her body.
Was it Shangguan Shu who did it?
Shangguan Shu lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I have long heard about Princess Huai'an's murder. Princess Huai'an holds a grudge against Princess Chengqian and wants to retaliate in kind. So she bribed Zhao Quan to destroy Princess Chengqian's innocence."
The Crown Princess gnashed her teeth and said, "What Zhao Quan said is true!"
"After hearing about this, I threatened Zhao Quan..."
Huyan Xue roared at Shangguan Shu with a whimpering sound, her eyes filled with hatred and brokenness. Her girlish heart was finally broken in the face of the bloody facts.
Why did her uncle want to harm her?
Hu Yanxue had already experienced a passionate love affair and was weak in mind. In anger and grief, she fainted.
"Xue'er!"
