It takes time for a woman to dress up. By the time Chu Li saw Ruan Yihe, more than half an hour had passed.

Chu Li's face turned black.

"Your Highness, I heard that you wanted to see me." Ruan Yihe walked into the room gracefully and suddenly saw the gifts she brought to visit Ruan Xinchen yesterday on the table in front of Chu Li. Her smile froze on her face.

Chu Li slowly raised her head and looked at Ruan Yihe who was dressed up carefully at the door.

"The king asked you to bring a gift to visit your cousin's wife. Did you bring something like this?"

Ruan Yihe's facial muscles twitched, and she cursed Ruan Xinchen inside and out in her heart.

Damn bastard, he actually asked someone to send the things back.

She pretended to be sad and sobbed, "My Lord, these things were prepared by the housekeeper, and I didn't pay attention to what was there. I didn't expect my sister to be happy with these things, not only happy, but also to drop them and have them sent back like this. They are all good things, what a waste."

Chu Li: "Did she fall?"

Ruan Yihe deliberately blurred the matter of who broke it, wiped away her tears, and continued to sob: "I think there was something wrong with the things, and she did this to me, her sister. She was very close to me before, but I didn't expect that she would still hold a grudge against me even though we were both married. It doesn't matter if she likes me, but it's really too much for her to destroy the things."

She acted very realistically, with tears actually flowing down her face, as if she was deeply hurt by her own sister.

"Ahem." Ling Lie reminded her with a twitching mouth, "Princess, there are shoe prints."

Ruan Yihe had tears in her eyes and her expression was frozen.

When she looked down, she saw that there were indeed beautiful shoe prints on the oil paper bag. They were hers.

Ruan Yihe was so frightened that her face turned pale instantly.

The sole patterns brought in by each showgirl were the same, and there were strict requirements for the patterns used by the royal family.

If she checked, she would know that these were the shoe prints left by the shoes she wore yesterday, and she could deny it even if she wanted to.

Chu Li looked at her coldly, wanting to see how she would perform next.

Ruan Yihe's lips trembled. She persisted for a moment, then knelt down with a thud.

"My Lord, I...I..." Things happened so fast that even if you were slow to think, you would find excuses.

Chu Li was also anxious, waiting to see what excuse she would come up with.

Ruan Yihe hesitated for a long time before she said, "My Lord, it's all my fault for misunderstanding."

Chu Li: "Oh? Misunderstood? What did you misunderstand?"

"I misunderstood that my sister was at the prince's villa yesterday, and thought she was deliberately seducing the prince. The prince knew that my sister had always been strong-willed and especially liked to compete with me. She wanted to take away everything that belonged to me. So I misunderstood that she wanted to take the prince away, and in a fit of anger, I threw the things to the ground, and then stepped on them."

"Really?" Chu Li looked a little dazed when he heard her say that.

I thought to myself, if what she said was true, she would want to snatch anything that belonged to Ruan Yihe, then would she take the initiative to snatch it from me?

But he knew very well in his heart that Xin Chen was that kind of person and she would come to rob him.

Ruan Yihe nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the misunderstanding has been resolved. She said that her wife met the prince by chance while traveling outside. She was sick, and her wife borrowed the prince's villa to rest. You asked me to deliver the gift because of our kinship."

Chu Li felt bitter in his heart.

I thought she was afraid of being misunderstood, so she even found a place to borrow money.

What a perfect excuse.

"Oh, you're wrong." Chu Li's eyes were red and his expression was sad. "It wasn't she who deliberately seduced me, but I deliberately showed my affection to her."

what?

Ruan Yihe felt like she had been hit hard again. She staggered a few steps and leaned against the door frame before she fell.

The shock in Ling Lie's eyes was greater than Ruan Yihe's, and his eyes were wide open.

My Lord, do you know what you are saying?

Are you crazy?

Ruan Yihe trembled and asked, "The prince showed goodwill to Ruan Xinchen? Why?"

She already had a bold guess in her mind, but she didn't dare to think about it, nor did she believe it.

After getting his personal admission, she would rather she was overthinking.

However, the result is still the worst one.

"When I was seriously injured, I had a dream. Guess what happened in that dream?"

Ruan Yihe felt like there was a shaky stone hanging in her heart, and she stared at Chu Li's shaking head.

"Oh, I oh want to know. Prince, please stop talking. I oh want to know."

She covered her ears, screamed in fear, and shook her head.

Chu Li sneered, and insisted: "I dreamed that the person who married into my palace to make me happy was not you, Ruan Yihe, but Ruan Xinchen. But why is reality the same as in the dream? Ruan Yihe, tell me, what's the problem?"

dream?

He dreamed of the past.

Did he know that the person who was originally married into Prince Zhan's mansion for the congratulations was Ruan Xinchen?

The heavy stone that had been hanging in Ruan Yihe's heart finally fell to the ground, crushing her heart.

"Tell me, why?" Chu Li pressed the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with both hands. The questioning voice frightened Ruan Yihe.

She kept shaking her head and muttered, "I know, I know."

The truth is told by 놊땣, and now she is just playing dumb.

Ruan Yihe tried her best to calm herself down and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, people say that dreams are the opposite of reality. It's just a dream, how can you believe it?"

Ling Lie beside him also nodded hurriedly, "My Lord, the princess is right. How can Meng believe it? You..."

"Shut up." Chu Li stared at Ling Lie coldly and said, "This is none of your business. Get lost."

Ling Lie didn't dare to say anything anymore and bowed to Chu Li and Ruan Yihe to take his leave.

Ruan Yihe looked at Ling Lie with dismay, feeling that her last straw was also gone.

She looked at Chu Li in horror, and said the same words, "Prince, everything in the dream is fake, don't take it seriously. My sister's marriage with my son was arranged by our grandmother, it must be fake. She is already engaged, so how can she marry into the Zhan Palace to bring good luck?"

"Heh, Ruan Yihe, why would I believe you? Why... didn't I check it clearly?"

Ruan Yihe continued to look at him in horror.

Chu Li continued, "The marriage was indeed arranged by the old lady of your house before her death, and the person arranged was indeed Xin Chen. But your parents were jealous, and after the old lady passed away, they intercepted the marriage and secretly replaced you.

Originally, the Imperial Grandmother issued an imperial decree to the Ruan family, and you were planning to let Xinchen come to celebrate the occasion, so your mother registered Xinchen as the legitimate daughter overnight. But you suddenly changed your mind and insisted that I would wake up after getting the inside information, right?"

Ruan Yihe was shocked and terrified, and spoke in a weird voice.

"Let me guess." There was a bloodthirsty and weird smile on Chu Li's lips.

"You and I had the same dream, didn't you?"
