"Your Highness doesn't dare to take the pill because you know it is poisonous. You originally wanted to kill my husband and me."
"In that case, I will grant your wish."
She picked up the pill and swallowed it directly, then stood there quietly, full of energy.
"Your Highness is afraid of death, but I am not. I just want Your Majesty to know what the Crown Prince did behind the scenes. Lotus Clinic and Yuetong were all arranged by him. His purpose was to get rid of us."
"Today I will die to make my will known to the world, and to let the world know the Crown Prince's sinister deeds."
Chi Mu immediately stepped forward to support Shen Yuerong, looked at her with heartache and uttered a word.
"My lady, why are you so stupid? The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, how can we possibly shake him? Are you deliberately not giving His Majesty a way out?"
Chi Mu had said so much that he almost pointed out that the emperor would definitely protect the prince.
If they hadn't spoken out about this, the emperor might have really protected them.
But now that he had been named by the two of them, the emperor could no longer speak in his defense. He could only glance at the prince and speak directly and coldly.
"Come here, take the prince away and detain him in the prince's mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
When the prince saw that he was about to be arrested, he stopped pretending.
Because everything he did was almost exposed.
A little investigation would reveal how outrageous his behavior was.
He looked in the direction of Shen Yuerong and suddenly sneered.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have Auntie Huang to die with me. It's worth it."
Shen Yuerong snuggled up to Chi Mu's side, raised her eyebrows and looked at the prince, with a faint smile on her lips.
"I'm sorry, who said I would definitely die?"
"I forgot to tell you, Prince, that the pill I took just now was not poisonous. Here is the pill you gave me."
She reached out from her sleeve and took out a porcelain bottle, which was the one he had just handed to Shen Yuerong.
And Shen Yuerong had already quietly replaced the porcelain bottle when he wasn't paying attention.
The pills she took were just tonic pills.
When the prince learned about this, his face instantly became ferocious, and he angrily cursed in the direction of Shen Yuerong.
"Don't think you can get away with it by slandering me. Sooner or later you will be punished."
Shen Yuerong didn't care about the prince's words. He was just teasing her emotions and making her lose control.
She looked in the direction of the prince and spoke slowly.
"Your Highness, you don't think anyone can save you, do you? In fact, we have been secretly investigating your collusion with the enemy country these days, and there is a dragon robe hidden in your mansion."
When the prince heard the word 'dragon robe', he froze in place and asked with a frown.
"You are talking nonsense. There is no dragon robe in my house at all."
And Shen Yuerong had a smile on her face the whole time and didn't say anything, and the prince understood instantly.
There were originally no such things in his house, but Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu might have placed these things in his house just now.
The prince was extremely angry, staring at Shen Yuerong with a sinister look.
He didn't say anything else and just let the guards take him away.
The palace fell into silence.
The emperor seemed to have aged a few years, and left with his officials with a slightly hunched back.
After the officials left, Shen Yuerong walked behind the screen, saw Yuetong tied up, and went forward to untie her ropes.
Yuetong rushed up immediately, raised his hand and was about to slap Shen Yuerong in the face.
"You are so despicable and shameless that you can even do something like kidnapping. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Shen Yuerong grabbed her hand and shook it off, looking at Yuetong in front of her with cold eyes.
"You all have the nerve to do such a thing, what can't I do?"
"You must know better than anyone how many lives you have sacrificed in order to become a saint."
"Don't worry, after today, you will no longer be a saint."
Yue Tong was thrown to the ground and looked up in the direction of Shen Yuerong, and suddenly realized something.
She cried and laughed: "Chen Yuerong, you are really pitiful. You don't even know your own life experience."
Shen Yuerong was stunned for a moment, staring at Yuetong in front of her with a frown.
"I have a clean background and I am a member of the Shen family. I will never steal other people's happiness like you, hiding in the dark like a rat."
Yuetong got up from the ground, took down the white jade crescent next to him, and pointed it in the direction of Shen Yuerong.
"Since you are so sure of your origin, let me tell you who you are. You are just an abandoned guy. You don't even know the origin of the birthmark on your body."
Shen Yuerong was confused when she heard this. When did she get the birthmark?
How come I didn't know, and why did Yuetong suddenly say those inexplicable words when she looked at me just now.
"What do you know? You'd better tell the truth."
As soon as Shen Yuerong finished speaking, Yuetong knew that she could not escape, so she cut her neck with a dagger, and blood gushed out and fell on the white jade crescent.
There was nothing wrong with the white jade crescent.
Yue Tong fell to the ground, muttering the words
"A saint woman shoulders the righteousness of the world. If she loses something, she will gain something."
She was completely out of breath and fell onto the marble floor under the glowing lights.
Shen Yuerong looked at the scene in front of her with mixed feelings.
She felt that Yuetong must know something, but just didn't want to tell her.
But Yuetong was dead at this moment, and it was useless for Shen Yuerong to worry about these things. She just left here with Chi Mu.
After returning to the palace, Chi Mu solemnly explained to Shen Yuerong.
"Rong'er, there is actually a legend about the Saint in the border. It is said that when a Saint is born, there must be a maid by her side. You can dream about the Saint's appearance and identify her appearance."
Shen Yuerong was stunned for a moment before she understood what Chi Mu meant by this.
"You mean to say that Yue Tong is not the Saint, but the maid beside the Saint?"
Chi Mu nodded and continued to answer: "So she knew who the Saint was, that's why she said that just now."
He put his hands on Shen Yuerong's shoulders, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.
"The key point now is that there is a high possibility that you are the Saint."
When Shen Yuerong heard this, she couldn't help but feel confused. How could she be a saint? She is just a daughter of the Shen family.
But her lips moved and she didn't say anything to refute. If she was a saint, then everything could be explained.
I'm afraid this is why she is living again.
Shen Yuerong found it unbelievable and somewhat unwilling to believe this fact, staring at Chi Mu.
"This must be fake. How could I be?"
Chi Mu pursed his lips and said, "I also hope that you are not, but what Yue Tong said just now is very likely to be true, but I will also send people to the Crescent Moon Terrace on the border to find out."
