Everyone was shocked.

They obviously didn't realize that Qian Ruoyu would actually say such a thing, and each of them was a little surprised.

Although they knew what dignity was, they also knew that they were living under someone else's roof in this palace, so how could they have any dignity?

But Qian Ruoyu's words made everyone seem to wake up.

"What's the little girl's name?"

Fatty Liu said quickly: "Reporting to the queen, the little girl is called Xiaohong, and she has just been transferred to the kitchen not long ago. This little girl is pitiful..."

Hearing this, Qian Ruoyu naturally turned his gaze over.

"Go on."

Fatty Liu then continued.

"This... I didn't want to trouble you, Your Majesty. A noble like you really shouldn't hear such vulgar and scary things as ours."

"Xiaohong is a hardworking girl, but her family has had some misfortunes. Her father is in debt and is too old to work. Her mother is seriously ill and needs someone to take care of her..."

Qian Ruoyu had never thought that Xiaohong, who spoke in a rather tough manner, actually had such a family situation. Qian Ruoyu immediately felt pity for her.

"Have you found the thief who stole the watermelon? Hurry up and find him for me. I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

Just then, Li Zhiyi's voice appeared outside the yard.

Qian Ruoyu pulled Fatty Liu to his side and said to him.

"When Li Zhiyi comes in, go and bolt the door for me and don't let her leave here! Can you do it?"

Fatty Liu swallowed his saliva when he heard this. This kind of thing naturally made him feel a little scared.

"This... Princess Princess, the Concubine is worth a lot of money... This..."

"What a worthless body!" Qian Ruoyu said bluntly.

"I've beaten you once before, so how can you still be worth a fortune? Stop talking nonsense and tell me I told you to do it! If you don't listen, you'll be the one getting beaten later!"

Hearing this, Fatty Liu immediately lost his temper and nodded quickly and walked to the door.

Then Li Zhiyi brought her maid Dan'er into the kitchen.

Following behind them was Xiaohong.

"Where's the watermelon rind? Let me take a good look at the rind and compare it with the teeth marks to see which little demon stole it!"

Li Zhiyi walked into the kitchen with an arrogant look on her face, but suddenly met Qian Ruoyu.

“What are you doing here!?”

Just after Li Zhiyi finished speaking, she suddenly heard the wooden door behind her close with a click.

After Fatty Liu closed the door, he quickly hid to the side, pretending that he was not the one who closed the door.

Fatty Liu ran fast, so when Li Zhiyi slowly turned around, she really didn't see anyone behind the door.

Dan'er said to Li Zhiyi, "Your Majesty, this matter may not be good...why don't we just go?"

Li Zhiyi shook her head.

"What are you afraid of? This is the palace. The prince is here. I don't believe she dares to eat me!"

Li Zhiyi looked like she was not afraid of Qian Ruoyu at all, especially when she saw so many people in the kitchen, she cared even less about Qian Ruoyu.

So Li Zhiyi walked over and pointed directly at Qian Ruoyu's nose and said.

"I think the watermelon rind was found here, and you chose to find it here. I don't have to look for the suspect everywhere!"

Li Zhiyi insisted that Qian Ruoyu was the one who stole the watermelon.

After saying this, Li Zhiyi began to prepare to lead the people around her.

"Look carefully, everyone. She is the queen of the royal palace, but she actually stole the watermelon from a concubine like me. Do you think she has any shame?"

Li Zhiyi came directly to Fatty Liu and pulled his clothes.

"Fatty Liu, look carefully. This Madam Zheng Fei is so shameless. We will report this to the prince together later!"

Unlike Qian Ruoyu, Li Zhiyi merely grabbed Fatty Liu's clothes, as if she was disgusted with having any contact with Fatty Liu.

Therefore, Fatty Liu felt disgusted in his heart, and naturally did not have much impression of Li Zhiyi.

Although Li Zhiyi behaved quite well before Qian Ruoyu entered the palace, she was also bullying the people in the kitchen.

Now that Qian Ruoyu has arrived, comparing the two, Fatty Liu feels that Qian Ruoyu is the good princess.

Fatty Liu nodded reluctantly.

Li Zhiyi came to Wang Po again and kept scolding Qian Ruoyu.

"She has only been in the palace for a few days. It's fine that she stole my Xiang'er...but she even stole the watermelons that the prince and I planted together!"

"Do you think this person is hateful?"

Li Zhiyi tried to get everyone to join her in belittling Qian Ruoyu, but after seeing Li Zhiyi's expression, everyone began to understand what was going on.

Even if Qian Ruoyu really stole Li Zhiyi's melon, everyone would probably stand on Qian Ruoyu's side this time. The reason why Li Zhiyi was tricked here was to let Qian Ruoyu vent everyone's anger.

"Li Zhiyi, please stop wasting your energy. Let everyone take a good look at where the watermelon and watermelon rind came from in the kitchen."

Li Zhiyi and Dan'er were standing in the middle of the kitchen. They were also stunned at this moment. They realized where the watermelon rind came from in the middle of the hall.

Li Zhiyi immediately looked at Xiaohong, as if she was going to blame her.

"Don't look at others. I ordered Xiaohong to do this. If you have any objections, come to me!"

When Li Zhiyi heard this, she became even more furious, "You...Qian Ruoyu, what do you want!"

Qian Ruoyu glanced at the kitchen around them, and everyone knew that it was impossible for the people in the kitchen to come to help.

It's good enough that they can pretend to be powerful. If they are asked to help, it will only anger Li Zhiyi.

Qian Ruoyu is indeed capable of dealing with Li Zhiyi on his own, so he doesn't need the help of these people.

Qian Ruoyu walked straight forward and confronted Li Zhiyi in front of her.

"Since you have said in front of so many people that I stole your watermelon, you have to produce evidence now, or you have to apologize to me!"

"Don't forget that you were supposed to apologize to me in the attic. If it wasn't because someone poisoned the prince, you would have been embarrassed in the attic!"

Hearing this, Li Zhiyi was speechless, "You...what do you want...don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're in the kitchen! This is the palace..."
