"Miss Su, are we going to just break in?" a guard asked in a low voice.

Su Jinyue glanced around and said softly, "Don't worry. Since she has been able to endure it until now, she won't easily reveal her flaws. We just need to create some pressure and make her lose her composure."

She raised her hand to signal a guard, "Go tell Princess Xihe that Su Jinyue has something important to discuss with you, and see how she responds."

The guard took the order and left. After a while, Princess Xihe's personal maid came hurriedly, looking unfriendly, "Miss Su, it's so late at night and there's no one around. What can I do for you?"

Su Jinyue smiled coldly, "What are you doing? Today, the little princess was attacked by a murderer, and I was almost assassinated. If I hadn't been careful beforehand, I would have died right now."

"There has been a change in the palace. We have caught this person. This matter may be related to Princess Xihe. Please ask her to come out and meet us."

The palace maid's expression changed slightly, and she immediately returned to the hall to report.

Soon, Princess Xihe, wearing a luxurious cloak, slowly walked out of the palace.

She had a faint smile on her face, her expression calm, "Miss Su's late night visit really surprised me, I wonder what's the matter?"

Su Jinyue took a step forward, met Princess Xihe's gaze without avoiding it, and said coldly: "I was almost assassinated when the little princess was poisoned. Someone in the palace was secretly colluding with Xijiang. Princess Xihe, you are not completely unaware of this, right?"

Princess Xihe narrowed her eyes and smiled more deeply. "Miss Su, you are going too far. How would I know that the little princess was poisoned? As for what Miss Su said about being assassinated in the palace, I don't understand it even more. Why do you point the finger at me?"

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, "Whether it is directed at you or not, you will know in a while."

She raised her voice and said, "Come here, bring up the captured Xijiang assassin!"

Several guards came forward, escorting the bound men in black. They all looked terrified, and one of them even began to tremble.

Princess Xihe's eyes fixed, and the smile on her face finally disappeared. "Miss Su, what do you mean? Are you trying to slander me?"

"Slander?" Su Jinyue sneered, "Does Princess Xihe recognize these people? They confessed that they were involved in the rebellion plan in Xijiang."

"In my opinion, Miss Su is the one with the real evil intentions!"

Princess Xihe shouted sternly, "Come here! Take these thieves who slandered me away!"

The guards behind her were about to step forward when they were stopped by Xiao Duo's men.

Princess Xihe's expression changed slightly. "Miss Su, what do you want to do? Are you going to act wildly in my palace?"

Su Jinyue stared at her, her eyes as sharp as a knife, "Going wild? Princess Xihe, I advise you to just plead guilty."

Princess Xihe sneered, "Su Jinyue, do you think you can humiliate me with just a few assassins? You are too naive!"

Su Jinyue did not refuse, and slowly took out something from her sleeve, and said softly: "Princess Xihe, do you recognize this secret letter?"

Princess Xihe's gaze froze for a moment, then she quickly regained her composure.

"Secret letter? I don't know what you are talking about."

Su Jinyue smiled slightly and held up the secret letter high. "This was found on these assassins. It contains many details about your dealings with Xijiang."

Princess Xihe's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly concealed it and said coldly: "Su Jinyue, don't slander me! This is clearly forged by you!"

Su Jinyue said calmly: "Whether it is true or not, we will make the final decision. Princess Xihe, if you are truly innocent, why are you so flustered?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the calmness on Princess Xihe's face completely collapsed.

She stood up suddenly and shouted sternly: "Su Jinyue! Don't even think about framing me! I will never let you do whatever you want!"

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.

"Princess Xihe, please come with us."

A deep voice sounded, and then a team of Jinyiwei rushed into the hall, led by the chief eunuch of the current dynasty.

Princess Xihe's expression suddenly changed, and she could no longer remain calm. "Why did you arrest me?"

The eunuch chief was someone close to His Majesty. He said, "Princess Xihe, it was His Majesty who wanted to see you. His Majesty said he didn't want to see you, but you were pushed aside. This honor was given to you by His Majesty."

The eunuch extended his hand to Princess Xihe, "Princess, please."

No matter how embarrassed she was, Princess Xihe's delicate face was still truly charming.

She stared at Su Jinyue fiercely, then left with the Jinyiwei.

The chief eunuch bowed to Su Jinyue and said, "Miss Su, His Majesty invites you to join him in the main hall."

"yes."

The hall was brightly lit.

His Majesty sat upright on the dragon throne, his face calm, but he could not hide the deep thought in his eyes.

His gaze slowly swept over every kneeling minister in the hall, and finally fell on Princess Xihe who was escorted here.

"Xihe, I heard that you have been secretly planning something in the palace recently and have some dealings with Western Xinjiang. Is this true?"

His Majesty's voice was not loud, but every word carried a heavy weight of pressure.

Princess Xihe gritted her teeth and prostrated herself on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am a princess of Xijiang, but I am only here to marry. I don't know about Xijiang's plan. This is all Su Jinyue's slander!"

Su Jinyue knelt aside with a stern look in her eyes.

"Slander? Princess Xihe, do you know where this secret letter came from?"

She took out a secret letter from her sleeve and presented it with both hands raised high. "Your Majesty, this secret letter not only has Princess Xihe's seal, but also contains the contents of the conspiracy with the envoys from Western Xinjiang. I dare to ask Your Majesty to take a look."

The eunuch took the secret letter and presented it to His Majesty. The emperor took the secret letter, flipped through it for a moment, and his brows gradually frowned.

Seeing this, Princess Xihe's face turned even paler, "Your Majesty, that secret letter must be fake! Su Jinyue has been deliberately trying to frame me, you must not believe it!"

His Majesty glanced coldly at Princess Xihe, "Whether I believe it or not is up to me to decide."

At this time, Xiao Duo also said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something else to present."

He handed a small box to the chief eunuch, who then presented it to His Majesty.

"This box was found in the secret compartment of Princess Xihe's bedroom. The items hidden in it match the contents of the secret letter. I beg Your Majesty to examine it."

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone waited with bated breath.

Your Majesty opened the box and found a seal of Western Xinjiang inside.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Princess Xihe in the hall with a complicated expression, "I love you very much, and I never want to believe that the things in Western Xinjiang have anything to do with you."

"Even though I know what happened inside and outside the palace, I am willing to believe you and give you a chance."

The emperor shook his head, "But you are too disappointing!"
