Upon hearing this, Shen Mingyue walked forward and handed Su Qiqi to the emperor.
[Tyrant, Qiuju and Concubine Jing are trying to frame your wife again! Don't let your mind get hot-headed and you get jealous!]
[When the assassins attacked, Guard Pei showed up in time to save you and the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine simply thought Guard Pei was a good martial artist and considered him a friend!]
[My Imperial Concubine has only loved you since she was six years old! Please don't let me down!]
Su Qiqi tugged at the emperor's sleeve and kept talking.
Realizing that she still couldn't speak, Su Qiqi became anxious again.
[Damn it! Why can't I speak?! This is too much!]
[Wuwuwu, tyrant, please don't banish the imperial concubine to the cold palace! She will die, and I will die too, and then you will become a true tyrant...]
"Be good, don't cry."
The emperor patted Su Qiqi's swaddling clothes and looked up at Qiuju who was kneeling on the ground.
"I remember that the imperial concubine treated you well, how dare you betray her?"
Qiu Ju glared at Shen Mingyue hatefully and said, "Your Majesty, it was Shen Mingyue who betrayed you! You are the ruler of a country, the master of all the people in the Tianqi Kingdom, and also the master of me. I cannot stand by and watch you being fooled and fooled by Shen Mingyue!"
Qiu He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please understand. The Imperial Concubine has never done anything inappropriate with Guard Pei."
"Qiu Ju! You have to provide evidence when you speak. Sister Imperial Concubine has always been aloof and noble, and would never do such dirty things!"
Concubine Jing looked righteous and awe-inspiring. She seemed to be speaking up for Shen Mingyue, but in fact she was secretly guiding her.
Qiu Ju said, "Of course I wouldn't say anything nonsense! Guard Pei once gave Shen Mingyue an engraved dagger as a token of love. Shen Mingyue sleeps with that dagger in her arms every day!"
The emperor frowned: "Dagger?"
Qiu Ju nodded. "I once heard Shen Mingyue say that Guard Pei has been carrying that dagger since he was a child. It's very precious! I also saw it. There are these sentimental words engraved on the dagger: 'I do not long for the scorching sun, I only love the bright moon'!"
"How, how is this possible?" Concubine Jing looked at the emperor beside her.
The emperor sighed deeply and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
Concubine Jing said, "Your Majesty, I do not believe that the Imperial Concubine would do such a shameful thing as to betray you. But it is useless for me to believe it alone. It would be better to have Changle Palace searched thoroughly so that the Imperial Concubine can be cleared of all charges."
