As soon as Mu Qianqian saw Emperor Yuanwu, she kicked her legs and stretched out her arms towards him, making little noises as if she were saying "hug".
Emperor Yuanwu hurriedly pulled Mu Qianqian into his arms.
"Your Majesty, did Han'er do something wrong? I heard Han'er apologizing when I came in just now," Consort Shu asked timidly.
"Mother, the matter of Consort Ruyan falling into the water really has nothing to do with me. I was just taking my sister to the lake to see the mandarin ducks, and I couldn't have had any physical contact with Consort Ruyan." Mu Junhan cried out, "My sister can testify for me."
"Second Prince, you are joking." Fei Yan, standing by the bed, covered her face and smiled. "The Seventh Princess is just a little over a month old. She can't even speak yet, so how can she testify for the Second Prince?"
“I…” Mu Junhan paused.
He absolutely could not tell anyone that he could hear his sister's thoughts.
"I can't prove it!" Mu Junhan said awkwardly.
"Heh." Fei Yan sneered.
“If the Second Prince really pushed Sister Ruyan, he could have just apologized. Why come up with such an absurd excuse?” Zhiyan chimed in.
“Exactly,” Qi Yan added immediately. “The Second Prince cannot bully people just because we come from Ning Kingdom.”
"You...!" Mu Junhan's face turned pale with anger. He turned to Emperor Yuanwu and said, "Father, I really did not push Ruyan."
“But the palace maids and eunuchs standing by the lake all saw you push Ruyan just now, so Second Prince, don’t try to deny it anymore,” Feiyan said sullenly.
"You're spouting nonsense!" Mu Junhan trembled with anger. "Father, please believe me. I spent a year at the Imperial Mausoleum and just returned to the palace. Today, in the Imperial Garden, it was the first time I saw Consort Ruyan. I have no grudge against her, so why would I push her!"
Even angrier than Mu Junhan was Mu Qianqian, who was in Emperor Yuanwu's arms.
This is infuriating!
[I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless person!]
[This ability to invert powder is something even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray.]
[Just like Yan's huge, round face and gaping mouth, she accused my brother of seducing her.]
[She should take a piss and look at herself in the mirror; she's ugly as a monkey and looks like a QR code.]
[It's almost as if my brother seduced her!]
Consort Shu listened to her daughter's heartfelt words.
I almost couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
A huge, round face!
A gaping, blood-red maw!!
How come she never noticed Ruyan's extraordinary temperament before?
"Since you say Han'er pushed you, then tell me, what were you talking about at the time? What caused you to get into a fight and accidentally push you?" Emperor Yuanwu said leisurely.
[Father!]
You're really my dad!
You are good at highlighting important points.
[When I was a kid, I got full marks on exams because of the topic-based questions.]
I can't help but admire you.
Ruyan was taken aback by the question.
She held her tongue for a long time but couldn't say anything.
Feiyan nudged her arm and said in a low voice, "Well, say it!"
Ruyan bit her lip.
What should she say?
Is it true that she seduced the second prince?
"It was my accidental fall into the lake, it has nothing to do with the Second Prince," Ruyan said, biting her lip.
Upon hearing her words...
Mu Junhan, kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth so hard they were practically ground to dust.
If he weren't concerned about the royal family's reputation, he would have told his father everything she had just said to him.
"There's never a day of peace in this harem. It's getting late, Consort Shu, I'll leave this to you."
