Rong Zhen stood there and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"My brother, they are always very careful in what they do, and it is difficult for them to reveal their weakness. At this moment, they no longer trust me. Only if the two of us work together to put on a good show, can we know where their weakness lies."

"you mean……"

Qiu Shui Pavilion.

The emperor led a part of his troops to surround Qiushui Pavilion. Xie Bingyan stood at the door with a calm face, looked at the emperor in front of her and bowed respectfully, raised her autumn water eyes, looked at him and said: "I didn't know that the emperor would come. I hope I didn't welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."

"No need, I came here today to catch the assassin."

After that, he asked everyone to prepare and bring Mingyue forward. When Xie Bingyan saw this, his face turned pale and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what Mingyue did wrong that you treat her like this."

"This Mingyue is suspected of murdering the Crown Princess, so I am here to help my brother with household chores. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"What does your Majesty mean by this?"

Xie Bingyan was still confused. She looked at Mingyue who was being taken away, knelt down in front of the emperor, raised her calm eyes nervously and said, "Your Majesty, Mingyue has been serving me for a long time, and she would never do such a thing. Besides, the charges have not been determined yet, so Your Majesty, please don't take Mingyue away."

"Because Mingyue wants to kill me."

Gu Yunru walked straight out of the crowd and stared at the aggressive Xie Bingyan in front of her. Xie Bingyan stood up and frowned when she saw Gu Yunru coming. "Bingyan doesn't understand what sister is talking about. Mingyue has no grudge against you, why would she want to murder you? Please give Bingyan justice."

"Because she put something in my bowl of porridge."

After that, Qingfeng, Qingxing and others searched Mingyue's room and found a bag of mysterious powder. This powder had a similar toxicity to arsenic and frost. Mingyue shook her head in fear when she saw this, and struggled desperately to call for help.

"Nonsense, why would Mingyue do this?" Xie Bingyan hid her fists in her sleeves, trying to calm herself down. She had to explain the matter in front of the emperor, otherwise she would be inexplicably accused of frame-up.

"Anyway, this packet of powder was used by Mingyue to frame me, so what's wrong with me specifically asking the emperor to make a decree to help me?"

Gu Yunru acted as she pleased, not taking Xie Bingyan's words seriously. Just as the emperor was about to arrest Mingyue and the others, he suddenly heard a loud and powerful voice. It was Rong Zhen.

“Your Highness…” Xie Bingyan saw Rong Zhen as if she had seen a savior. She immediately ran to him, grabbed his arm, and looked at him with pity. “Your Highness, please help Bingyan. Mingyue will never do such a despicable thing.”

"Don't worry, I naturally believe in you and your maid." Although Rong Zhen couldn't see, his words seemed to carry the flavor of an oath. He patted her hand, giving her a reassurance.

Xie Bingyan looked at Rong Zhen pitifully, wanting to see if he was really blind, but the most urgent priority was to rescue Mingyue.

"Royal brother, this is a family matter. Please don't bother with it. Please go back." Rong Zhen seemed to know where the emperor was standing and said sincerely in that direction. The emperor took a deep breath and took the person back. Since the emperor didn't want him to interfere in this matter, he didn't bother to meddle in it and left immediately.

"My lord, you are not going to disregard my life for a mere servant, are you?" Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen in front of him steadily. After saying this, the two of them were immediately like ice and fire, and their auras were high.

"The matter has not been investigated yet, how can you frame the concubine?"

"The medicine was found in Mingyue's room. She wanted to harm me, the princess. Don't I even have the right to make the decision?"

Gu Yunru stared at the people in front of her, while Mingyue shrank behind Xie Bingyan and shook her head in fear, "My Lord, I really have never harmed the princess, and I don't know why the princess would frame me for no reason."

"How dare you lie!"

Gu Yunru came in front of everyone with a threatening look on his face, trying to pull Mingyue out, but Rong Zhen suddenly grabbed her hand and threw it away fiercely.

"I have already said that this matter has not been investigated yet, so Princess should go back first."

"Your Highness, are you still protecting Xie Bingyan?" Although Gu Yunru still had a smile on her face, the smile was becoming colder and colder.

"This king does not favor anyone, but he will not allow you to frame anyone."

"Hehe, what the prince said is really interesting." There was a hint of severity in Gu Yunru's tone, and a sarcastic smile slowly escaped from the corners of his mouth.

"What if I say I must take Mingyue away today?"

"You can try it."

Rong Zhen's tone was light, but full of majesty. No one dared to offend him. However, Gu Yunru in front of him did not take his words seriously. Just as she was about to step forward, she was slapped aside by Rong Zhen. Qingxing and Qingfeng quickly helped her up.

"Princess, forget it, let's not go against the prince." Qingxing advised loudly. Xie Bingyan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, it seemed that the relationship between the prince and Gu Yunru was not that deep, and this time the princess was so stupid that she wanted to demonstrate to the prince in public.

"No, I almost lost my life. Do you want me to apologize to this bitch?!"

Rong Zhen's ears twitched. Hearing such sharp words, his brows furrowed. "It seems that you were too arrogant when you were in the palace. You wanted to bully someone as kind as Bingyan."

"Your Majesty, Mingyue is the murderer with the Silver Heart Jade Pendant!"

Gu Yunru stood up and glared at Mingyue who was hiding behind Xie Bingyan with an angry look on her face, but Mingyue stood up at this moment.

"You are talking nonsense. Who said that the one with the jade pendant is the murderer? Everyone in this mansion has one. Why is the princess targeting me so much? Is it just because the young lady is favored by the prince?"

Mingyue was now confident, not as nervous as before. The prince was on the young lady's side now. Since the prince was willing to believe the young lady, it was equivalent to believing her.

"Oh. Is that so? Mingyue was hit by Qingfeng's palm before. If I'm not mistaken, there is a handprint on her back. Do you dare to take off your clothes and let everyone see?" Gu Yunru looked at everyone with a solemn oath.

Mingyue cast a look for help to Xie Bingyan, who pulled Mingyue behind her and glared at Gu Yunru, "Sister Princess, you are going too far.

Mingyue is a woman after all, how could she take off her clothes in front of so many people? How can Mingyue go out and meet people in the future?"
