Sang Liwan turned around and looked at Jun Moyi thoughtfully.
She asked tentatively, "You know?"
However, Jun Moyi didn't want to tell her too much. He just gently squeezed Sang Liwan's palm and said, "Just trust me."
What he said was ambiguous. Sang Liwan didn't guess anything. He just felt that throughout the evening, except when Gu Huaizhi was talking, Jun Moyi's emotions fluctuated a lot. At other times, Jun Moyi still looked calm and composed.
Sang Liwan guessed that perhaps what happened tonight was within his expectations.
He even intervened in something.
Thinking of Jun Moyi's extraordinary abilities, Sang Liwan didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and stood quietly beside him without saying anything, watching the queen's performance.
Jun Mochen, the brainless man, didn't understand the arguments between these people at all, and only remembered what the queen said.
He strode forward, his face filled with righteous indignation, pointed a finger at Sang Liwan and cursed: "Sang Liwan, how dare you! Father has been so good to you. He didn't even bother with you when you did that before, and you actually arranged for an assassin to kill him! What are your intentions!"
Sang Liwan felt a headache when she heard Jun Mochen talking.
In her opinion, although the emperor and the empress were not extremely smart, they were both more or less cunning and scheming.
Unfortunately, the son she gave birth to was a brainless boy who was easily influenced by others. He believed whatever others said and even helped others count the money after being sold.
Sang Liwan lazily lifted his eyelids and said coldly, "What kind of thing did I do?"
Jun Mochen choked. In front of all the officials in the court, he certainly couldn't tell them about the things that happened between him and Sang Liwan that were not acceptable.
Besides, even if he wanted to say it, the emperor, who was very concerned about his reputation, would not let him.
It is one thing for everyone to know it, but it is another thing to lay it out in front of everyone.
Although Jun Mochen is not smart, he is not really stupid.
Without waiting for the emperor to wink at him, he shut up first, but he was still a little unconvinced, "Sang Liwan, even if you hate me, you should come after me, why did you hurt my father?"
The muscles on Sang Liwan's face twitched. "Where do you get the nerve?"
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.
This matter has not been concluded yet. How did the Second Prince determine that it was Princess An who did it?
Moreover, seeing how harmoniously Princess An and Prince An are getting along now, the previous incident with the Second Prince should have been put behind them long ago. Princess An didn't even bring it up on her own initiative, so why did the Second Prince bring it up first?
So it seems that someone has been thinking about this matter all the time.
The whispers of several ministers reached Jun Mochen's ears from time to time. His face froze and he wanted to refute, but no one was talking to him in person, so how could he refute?
Even Chen Yan silently stepped back. In her heart, she only hoped that the emperor would grant her a marriage with Jun Mochen later. When she thought that she would have to face such a man, Chen Yan could not help but feel violent and wanted to kill him with a knife.
But the reality is that for the sake of her own plan to restore her country, she had to endure it.
Glancing at Sang Liwan and Jun Moyi not far away, Chen Yan kept comforting herself that if she could succeed this time, she would be one step closer to her big plan, and no matter what it took, it would be worth it.
At this moment, Gu Huaizhi, completely disregarding the emperor's dignity, suddenly waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Second Prince, why do you sound as if you can't forget Princess An?"
The scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Jun Mochen's face flushed even more. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Isn't it?" Gu Huaizhi said innocently, "When I saw the Second Prince bring it up, I thought he was regretful."
"you!"
Jun Mochen really wanted to give a good beating to the man in front of him who was smiling so much that he deserved a beating, but the other party was the prince of Qi, so he had to give the Buddha some consideration.
Just as Jun Mochen was secretly thinking about how to teach Gu Huaizhi a lesson, the emperor suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Alright."
"Everyone has been frightened today, so go back and rest early."
Hearing him say this, the Queen was furious. She turned her head and looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay for others, but Prince An and Princess An are highly suspected. If we let them leave the palace, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger back into the mountains? There will be endless troubles."
Before he finished speaking, Jun Moyi laughed sarcastically. A low laugh escaped from his throat, but there was not even a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"According to what my mother said, everyone present today is a suspect. It would be too unfair to detain only the prince and the princess."
The Queen was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jun Moyi again, "I know that my mother is now convinced that Wanwan is the mastermind behind this, but the assassin just now didn't say anything. All this is nothing but my mother's speculation."
The queen still wants to continue fighting.
"If it really wasn't you who did it, the truth will surely come out after the interrogation. So why would it hurt for you to wait in the palace for one night?"
Hearing this, Jun Moyi lowered his head, glanced at the Buddhist beads in his hand, and smiled a little coldly, "I'm not afraid of waiting, but I'm afraid that what I wait for is not the truth, but a confession under torture."
The queen was embarrassed for a moment when she found out that her thoughts were guessed clearly.
She was about to lose her temper when the emperor interrupted her coldly, "Alright, all the courtiers who came to the palace tonight to attend the banquet will leave the palace and return home immediately. Once you return home, you are not allowed to go out and wait for the imperial edict."
This is a disguised form of house arrest.
The queen wanted to say something else, but the next second, the emperor gave her a warning look.
She knew she couldn't go too far, so she had to swallow her anger and glared at Jun Moyi fiercely, thinking that after today, she must get rid of this annoying person completely.
Sang Liwan also saw the Queen's sharp gaze. She felt a chill in her heart, then looked at Jun Moyi with some sympathy and whispered, "It seems that Mother is planning to kill you."
Jun Moyi's expression did not change, and he still had a smile on his face.
"Wanwan, I stood up for you and my mother has taken notice of me. You have to be responsible for me."
Hearing this, Sang Liwan rolled his eyes in an uncouth manner, "I didn't ask you to speak for me."
Jun Moyi's face was full of exaggeration, "Wanwan, I'm really sad when you say that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Huaizhi suddenly approached the two of them and said with a smile, "Prince An, Princess An, I'm new to the capital and have no place to stay. I wonder if you could take me in for a night?"
