"You vicious and despicable woman, how dare you harm my Yue'er?"
Madam Song stared intently at her, her eyes filled with deep-seated resentment, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
"What evidence does Madam Song have?"
Shen Danru shook off Madam Song's arm and turned to kneel before the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you must do justice for me."
The Duke of Shen also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please do justice for Chaoyun and punish these people who make false accusations at will. Otherwise, anyone can jump out and falsely accuse my Duke of Shen's mansion."
The Emperor glanced at the Duke of Shen, his expression complex.
At this moment, the imperial physician arrived.
After examining Song Yuqing, he said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this young lady's body."
"No, no, it must be that bitch Shen Danru who harmed me, it must be her... she drugged me..."
Song Yuqing pointed at Shen Danru and started cursing.
Everyone was stunned by Song Yuqing's actions.
Madam Song closed her eyes.
It's over, it's all over.
This time, Yue'er will likely not even become the Crown Prince's concubine, let alone the Crown Princess.
"Miss Song, we haven't had any contact at all today. May I ask how I drugged you?"
Shen Danru asked slowly and deliberately.
Song Yuqing paused.
She suddenly remembered the dress she was wearing.
Looking back, Shen Danru easily gave her the dress, and she was secretly pleased that she had finally won again.
It turns out she had tampered with the clothes.
"It's this dress, it must be this dress, she put the drug in this dress."
“Miss Song, this dress was originally prepared for me by Consort Li. I didn’t even get to touch it before you took it from me. Are you saying I harmed you?”
"Aunt Fang was also present at the time; she is my witness."
There was a lot of information here, and upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell on Consort Li.
Consort Li and Madam Song are cousins, so it's unlikely that she would harm Miss Song.
So, what exactly is she trying to do?
While everyone was puzzled, Consort Li remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was filled with dread.
Aunt Fang quickly reassured her, "Your Highness, don't panic. Don't worry, everything will be alright."
Consort Li thought for a moment and realized that her aunt was always reliable in handling matters and would not leave any evidence against her.
Thinking this way, I calmed my uneasy heart.
The emperor then ordered the imperial physicians to examine the patient carefully.
A moment later, the imperial physician reported: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this garment."
Upon hearing this, Song Yuqing was stunned. She collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself:
"Impossible, impossible, it must be a serious crime."
Seeing that Song Yuqing still wanted to implicate Shen Danru, the Duke of Shen glared at Song Xun and asked sternly, "Does the Marquis of Xuanping think that the Duke of Shen's mansion has no one left?"
Song Xun trembled in fright and quickly said, "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense."
Only then did Madam Song understand what Consort Li meant when she said that everything had been arranged.
They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
She never imagined that it would ultimately ruin her daughter.
All of this is due to her adopted daughter, Shen Danru. If it weren't for her, how could Yue'er have fallen into such a desperate situation?
If it weren't for Shen Danru, Yue'er would have grown up pampered in the Marquis's mansion and smoothly became the Crown Princess after reaching adulthood.
But now, everything has been destroyed.
At this moment, Qi Jingcheng's face was gloomy.
Although he disliked Song Yuqing, a woman from the countryside, he couldn't allow her to hug and kiss other men in public.
Isn't this a public display of infidelity?
Moreover, this man was merely a guard.
"Since Miss Song is so fond of this guard, let's call off our marriage."
Song Yuqing only came to her senses after hearing Qi Jingcheng speak.
She looked around and found that everyone was watching with amusement.
She was startled, realizing what was happening.
Ah~
Seeing that she was holding a guard, she was so frightened that she quickly let go.
"Your Highness, it's not like that! I was framed! You must believe me..."
Seeing that Qi Jingcheng didn't even glance at her, she thought of kneeling before the Emperor again and begging him to do justice for her.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor said, "Since you like this guard so much, then I will take the liberty of bestowing a marriage upon you today."
After speaking, the emperor felt that his body could not take it anymore, so he ordered Eunuch Yu to help him back to his palace to rest.
The Empress watched the farce unfold, glared at Song Yuqing, and then left.
Song Yuqing collapsed to the ground.
She suddenly realized why she had given up Chen Danru's clothes without hesitation when she tried to take them from her.
She glared at Shen Danru with resentment.
Shen Danru smiled at her, completely unconcerned.
All of this made Qi Shuoyu realize that his woman was indeed extraordinary.
The celebration banquet was ruined by Song Yuqing's little incident. After the Emperor and Empress left, seeing that the main figures of the Shen family had also left, the others also departed.
As soon as Shen Danru returned to Muxue Garden, Madam Zhou entered.
Shen Danru was about to bow to Zhou Shi when Zhou Shi slapped her across the face.
"Ru'er, how could you be so vicious and frame Qing'er like this? I thought you were a kind person, but I never expected you to do such a despicable thing. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have acknowledged you in the first place."
Seeing that Madam Zhou was convinced that she was responsible, Shen Danru snorted coldly: "Since Mother is so convinced that I was responsible, why don't you report me at the banquet? That way, your good daughter Song Yuqing won't lose her position as the Crown Prince's concubine."
