Shen Ruyi was also stunned.

This was not the first time she had met the Northern Qi High Priest Li Xiangyi, but this meeting was particularly different. She always felt that this person was very familiar, but she couldn't say how familiar he was.

But, the high priest stays in Fengchi Mountain all year round and rarely comes down. Why is he here today?

But because they had met once before, Shen Ruyi still bowed, "Ruyi greets the high priest."

Li Xiangyi nodded.

After that, he looked at the princess and Shen Yu and sneered, "If I hadn't come again, would you have turned black into white and thrown this dirty water on Shen Ruyi?"

As he spoke, he walked forward and stood on the other side of Shen Ruyi, blocking her directly behind him. His eyes fell on the faces of Shen Yu and Shen Ci, and his words were sharp.

"The night before yesterday, you and your son came to the priest's hall separately, saying that Shen Ruyi was possessed by a ghost. I told you that she is the lucky star of Ziwei. Now, you still want to destroy her. What do you mean?"

Li Xiangyi's words instantly changed the expressions of the Crown Prince and the Princess.

Ziwei is the lucky star, which helps the emperor's fortune.

In other words, Shen Ruyi's existence will enhance the emperor's fortune, and her being alive is equivalent to providing the emperor with a layer of protective armor.

Who would dare to offend such a person easily?

Especially those who are princes and princesses have to curry favor with the emperor, so as to show their filial piety to him.

"Shen Jiaojiao, I didn't expect that there was no truth in your mouth."

The prince looked at Shen Jiaojiao, his face dark and blue, "Today I have finally seen what kind of person this so-called second young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion who is ten thousand times better than Shen Ruyi is!"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Shen Yu, "Master Shen, you really disappoint me!"

At this point, he could only choose to stand on the side of Ziwei Fuxing and give up trying to win over the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Yu didn't expect things to turn out like this, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Gu Qinghua also broke out in a cold sweat.

He was unwilling to see things turn out like this and let Shen Ruyi win, so he rolled his eyes and explained: "It's not like that! The incense on the third floor was drugged, and Shen Ruyi was the first one to go up there. She must have tampered with the incense, and then asked Cuiyu to send a message and call Shen Jiaojiao over!"

"She just wanted to deliberately frame me and Shen Jiaojiao!"

Gu Qinghua stared at Shen Ruyi with red eyes.

He just didn't believe that Shen Ruyi could say anything! No matter what, he would not let her leave with a clean conscience today!

There was a barely perceptible glimmer of viciousness in Gu Qinghua's eyes.

Shen Ruyi felt sick when she saw him like this, "Why would I frame you? Besides, even if I asked Cuiyu to go find Shen Jiaojiao, why would Shen Jiaojiao come?"

"Could it be that she, a sickly woman, would run over to save her brother-in-law regardless of her own safety just because she was worried that he would be plotted against here?"

Immediately, the others nodded, "What Shen Ruyi said makes sense. Even if her maid went to look for Shen Jiaojiao, Shen Jiaojiao would have no reason to come here."

Shen Jiaojiao burst into tears after hearing this, "That's not the case. Cuiyu said that my sister wanted to poison my second brother. That's why I came here to take revenge on him..."

"That can be explained." The audience nodded, "It makes sense that she came to save Shen Ci."

"Shen Ruyi, do you have anything else to say?" Shen Ci found an opportunity, stared at Shen Ruyi with red eyes, and acted like he was hurt. "Since childhood, I have raised you like a baby, why did you poison me?"

As he spoke, he squeezed out two weasel tears.

Shen Ruyi was forced into a corner again.

Shen Ci felt proud when he saw that she was speechless.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Dali Temple Shaoqing Fang Yizhou actually rushed up with a team of yamen runners and said directly: "No one should argue anymore, the aphrodisiac was given by Shen Ci."

"What?"

Everyone who originally thought that Shen Ruyi had given the medicine had now widened their eyes and turned to look at Fang Yizhou.

Even Shen Ruyi herself was stunned.

Why is he here too?

But he soon realized that all this should have been arranged by Rong Yan.

When she came up, Rong Yan said to her, "Go ahead, I'll take care of everything."

At that time, she didn't know what he meant.

Now I understand that he had arranged everything for her a long time ago and protected her in secret, so he could take her away when she was in the most dangerous moment, and then prepare witnesses for her to clear the dirty water on her!

He didn't show up today, but every heavyweight figure who came here was his work.

Such protection brought tears to Shen Ruyi's eyes.

Shen Ruyi turned her head to look at the person behind her, choking up slightly.

The one who came was Dali Shaoqing Fang Yizhou. He looked at Shen Ci and said with a sneer in his eyes, "When I was investigating Mei Shisan, I happened to find out that the second son of Shen went to Jishidiang. What he bought were all the materials for preparing aphrodisiacs."

As he spoke, he shook the bottom square in his hand and showed it to everyone, "This is the bottom square, and there is the handprint of Mr. Shen II on it."

"Shen Ci?"

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help looking at the usually gentle and elegant second son of the Shen family, their eyes full of disbelief, "You drugged Master Gu and Shen Jiaojiao, but framed Shen Ruyi?"

"Oh my god, this Prime Minister's Mansion is really amazing. How come there are all kinds of people here?" Some people even took several steps back, as if if they got any closer to Shen Ci, he would dirty their clothes.

"It's not me, I didn't..."

Shen Ci panicked after hearing these words.

But under the watchful eyes of the public, that bottom copy was the evidence. And the one who produced the evidence was Fang Yizhou, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, who was in charge of investigating various criminal cases, so the credibility was almost 100%.

Now, there was no use in what he said.

Shen Yu saw that the situation was getting out of control, and finally said helplessly: "This prescription is forged, right? Why would Shen Ci do such a thing? He has no motive!"

Seeing him speak, Yan Weiyun, the prince of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, said, "Master Shen, don't wash yourself. You probably don't know that this Zuixinlou is my property, and the room upstairs was booked by you personally."

"Besides, before Shen Ruyi went up, you, Gu Qinghua, and Shen Ci all went up. At that time, I was drinking tea in the room on the second floor. If you still don't recognize it, then let Lord Fang call all the people in the restaurant and ask them one by one."

There was a hint of sarcasm on Yan Weiyun's handsome face.

This hint of sarcasm was magnified because of his inherent dandy and ruffian nature, making it particularly glaring.

"Everyone in this restaurant is yours, so naturally what you say goes!" Shen Yu's eyes turned red with anger, and he pointed at Yan Weiyun and threw dirty water on him, "When did you collude with Shen Ruyi?"

"Did you know that she has an engagement?"

Now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is to drag the witnesses into this. No one can get away with a clean slate today!

At the side, Shen Ci understood and immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, it must be you and Shen Ruyi who are colluding to frame us!"
