"Miss, the Marquis is protecting you." Xiao Cui reminded in a low voice.
If Kou Mingxue is not taken away, who knows what kind of false accusations Sheng Mingyu will make up later.
"Your Highness, my daughter is outspoken. I have asked the maid to take her away to reflect on her mistakes." Marquis Changping said respectfully, and personally served tea and water to Sheng Mingyu.
"Your Highness previously said that Master Linkong had injured Your Highness and the Crown Princess. Do you have any evidence?"
Evidence? Sheng Mingyu's eyes were terribly cold, and he took off his shirt in front of them.
They could see clearly the hideous wound on the back.
“Here’s the evidence.”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. They didn't expect Sheng Mingyu's back to be injured so badly.
At some point, a whip covered in pepper water appeared in the hand of the Marquis of Changping.
He walked up to Master Linkong and slapped him hard.
Master Linkong was beaten so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and beads of sweat covered his forehead. When the rag was taken out of his mouth, he screamed.
"My Lord! I am innocent! How could I possibly harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I just wanted to get rid of that witch. Her survival would endanger the country!" Master Linkong said hurriedly, fearing that he would be whipped again in the next second.
"What witch? This is my daughter! Even though we have no blood relationship, I raised her myself. How can you call my daughter a witch?"
Gu Yunni stood with her hands crossed, so anxious to clear herself of the charges. One had to admit, the Marquis of Changping was truly insidious and cunning.
"My Lord, everything I have done is for you!"
As soon as Master Linkong finished saying this, a whip came towards his back again.
He was beaten so hard that he felt as if his internal organs were about to break. He kept screaming, "The witch is still alive! The dynasty will never be at peace! I am only acting on behalf of heaven. I want to get rid of the witch and keep the dynasty at peace!"
"You say I'm a witch, why don't you take a look at the colorful auspicious clouds outside!"
Just above the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, colorful auspicious clouds appeared and did not dissipate for a long time.
"The colorful auspicious clouds know that I am trying to exorcise the demon girl, so..."
"Things have come to this, and you're still so stubborn."
This side of the East Palace.
When Du Changming learned about these things, he put down the ancient book in his hand, stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
"Your Highness, where are you planning to go?"
"Of course, he's a hero saving a beautiful woman."
After a brief sentence, Du Changming came to the stable and led a Ferghana horse.
Sitting on the BMW, he looked at the eunuchs behind him and said, "The situation is urgent. I will ride to the Marquis' Mansion first, and you should hurry up and follow."
The eunuchs and maids were confused and didn't know what was so urgent.
In less than a moment, Du Changming arrived at the gate of Changping Marquis Mansion and saw that the door was wide open.
He walked towards the marquis's mansion, but heard Master Linkong's voice in the front hall.
"Oh? How come I didn't know Miss Gu was a witch?"
When everyone heard Du Changming's voice, they were shocked. They turned around and happened to see him.
He didn't bring anyone with him. Could it be that he came alone?
Two big men arrived in one day. The Marquis of Changping's forehead was already sweating. "Your Highness, how did you find time to come here today?"
"I heard that someone wrongly accused Miss Gu of being a monster. I came here to clear her name." Du Changming looked like he was thinking about Gu Yunni.
Sheng Mingyu frowned and stood up. "Of course, my fiancée is not a monster. Your Highness, there is no need to do this."
Du Changming, however, had a frank look on his face. "How can you be so rude? Miss Gu is kind-hearted and has helped me before. I'm still thinking about how to repay her. How can I waste such a good opportunity today?"
Gu Yunni had helped Du Changming? Sheng Mingyu was stunned. How could he not know about this?
Not to mention him, Gu Yunni herself was also stunned.
He was clearly talking nonsense, but Gu Yunni did not expose him.
If there was anything that had happened before, it was simply, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt unwell four days ago, so I went to see him. I changed the Feng Shui of the mansion, and His Royal Highness has been full of life since then."
Unexpectedly, there was a connection between Gu Yunni and the prince. Marquis Changping now just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
If they had known this earlier, they should have forced Gu Yunni to stay in the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, which would have brought them benefits.
Now, they were no longer allowed to have anything to do with him. The Marquis of Changping was growing increasingly unhappy, but he could only put on a good face. "So that's how it is. Your Highness is a man who knows how to repay kindness. If a person doesn't know how to repay kindness, isn't he worse than pigs and dogs?"
Why does it feel like he is mocking Gu Yunni in his words?
Gu Yunni didn't mention her name, so she walked towards Master Linkong and saw the jade pendant on his waist. "Oh, you stole this jade pendant from me, didn't you?"
"What are you talking about? This is clearly what my master gave me."
Master Linkong's eyes dodged. There was a phoenix pattern carved on the jade pendant, which could ward off evil spirits and absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon. Gu Yunni's name was also carved next to it.
Gu Yunni immediately smiled. "Why don't you tell me what the characteristics of this jade pendant are?"
Master Linkong gritted his teeth and said, "There is a phoenix pattern on it, which can ward off evil spirits and absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon."
After saying that, he tried to reach out to grab the jade pendant back, only to find that his hands were tied.
"Oh, then did you know that my name is written on the lower left side of the jade pendant?"
Before Master Linkong could reply, Gu Yunni turned around and said leisurely, "You stole the jade pendant first, wronged me, and then hurt His Highness. Shouldn't you be torn into pieces by five horses?"
"You dare! Don't forget, my master is the leader of Lin Xuanmen. If you dare to hurt me, he will never let you go!" Master Linkong was obviously anxious.
"You've brought this upon yourself! If your master knew you had a disciple like him, he'd probably just want to skin you alive."
Gu Yunni didn't want to waste time talking to Master Linkong, so she turned to look at Marquis Changping, "Marquis Changping, should you give us an explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Changping looked at Master Linkong.
Although he didn't want to kill him, if all these things were heard by the emperor, they would definitely be implicated.
What should I do?
Marquis Changping gritted his teeth, looked up at Master Linkong, and then looked at the guards beside him, "Take him out, beat him to death with clubs, and throw him into a mass grave!"
"Marquis Changping, you can't do this to me! I have made great contributions to you!" Master Linkong shouted in surprise.
After constant struggle, he finally broke free from the ropes on his body.
Feeling pain in his back and numbness in his legs and feet, he fell to the ground with a thud.
In a moment, he recovered.
