Emperor Yong did not refuse.

He seemed to have become that "good father" again, who was particularly tolerant and indulgent towards the second prince.

Soon, the sound of clanking iron chains was heard. Everyone turned around and saw a disheveled woman with her head down, being dragged into the imperial study by two guards.

As soon as the guard let go, the woman fell limply to the ground.

She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and suddenly raised her head to look at the dragon throne. A cold light of incomparable hatred flashed in her eyes. It was Jinzhu!

"Dog Emperor! Why aren't you dead yet?"

"How dare you!" Huang Pei immediately shouted.

At this time, a crimson-purple figure stood in front of Jinzhu.

Jinzhu immediately spat on him and looked up at the person who came with a sinister smile.

However, when her eyes fell on the Second Prince's face, her whole body shook violently and she suddenly froze.

"Princess...Princess..."

At this moment, Jinzhu almost thought that her soul had returned to the past and met the young princess.

Jinzhu couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and her tears kept flowing down.

She knew that the princess had died long ago, and the only person in the world who looked so much like the princess was His Highness.

Jinzhu had never met the second prince. She and Aunt Rou had been hiding in the Huguo Temple. When they took the initiative to contact Zhou Bo, for the sake of caution, only Aunt Rou came forward.

Jinzhu did her best behind the scenes out of loyalty to Yuliu.

"Your Highness..."

Jinzhu murmured something and suddenly remembered that she had just spit at the Second Prince. She immediately turned pale as if she had committed a terrible mistake.

She stretched out her hand to wipe the Second Prince's wound, but as soon as she raised her hand, the Second Prince took a step back.

Jinzhu was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that her next performance would determine whether His Highness could escape punishment, so she couldn't be careless!

At this moment, the second prince was also shocked.

The mastermind who was arrested was not Aunt Rou!

The Second Prince had only met Aunt Rou once, and she was much older than the woman in front of him.

And this woman should be Jinzhu mentioned by Aunt Rou!

What about Aunt Rou?

Did Aunt Rou escape? Or did she commit suicide?

So has his background been revealed?

The second prince frowned slightly, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

It seems that I can only ask the golden bead in front of me!

"Who are you?" the second prince asked coldly.

When Jinzhu saw the Second Prince's attitude, she immediately understood what he was planning.

Your Highness is right to do this. You should cut off all ties with her now!

But she couldn't act too indifferent, otherwise she would be suspected of deliberately trying to exclude His Highness.

It is revealed naturally, with a mixture of truth and falsehood, which will surely make Your Highness feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Jinzhu showed joy and emotion on her face and shouted:

"Your Highness, you have grown up so much. I am Jinzhu, the maidservant beside the princess!"

"When you were born, I touched your hand!"

As soon as Jinzhu opened her mouth, she controlled the scale just right, and the Second Prince knew that she was a smart person.

It turns out that the people left behind by my mother are all useful!

"Jinzhu? I seem to have heard Uncle Zhou mention it."

The second prince tilted his head and pretended to be surprised, but soon he looked angry.

"Since you are the maidservant beside my mother, you should understand my mother's mind. Why do you go against my mother's wishes and stay in the Huguo Temple to kill children?"

"Are you the only one taking the lead in this matter, or is there someone else behind it?"

Jinzhu's expression changed slightly when she heard this. Is Your Highness asking about Aunt Rou?

Speaking of Aunt Rou, Jinzhu was also confused.

Most of the people in the hall were affected at that time. However, she and Aunt Rou did not have to eat because they were talking to Yuanyou, the bald guy, and thus escaped the disaster.

Something strange happened suddenly, and she and Aunt Rou knew that something was wrong, so they made up their minds. She would stay here to contain the possible enemies, while Aunt Rou would go and kill all those children!

So what if he is cruel and ruthless? If one more person dies in Yong State, they will have one less enemy in the Northern State!

As a result, no news was heard about Aunt Rou until she was captured.

When she was brought into the palace this time, everyone seemed to regard her as the mastermind. She suspected that Aunt Rou might have escaped!

After all, if Aunt Rou committed suicide, it should be mentioned.

Thinking of this, Jinzhu was extremely surprised. As long as Aunt Rou was not dead, she would be a great help to His Highness!

Therefore, when Huang Pei and Emperor Yong came to question her one after another, she insisted that she was the mastermind!

Now it seems that His Highness also wants to know about Aunt Rou.

Jinzhu thought about it and hid the answer cryptically in her reply.

"Your Highness, I want to avenge the princess! The original sin of all this is the dog emperor. The princess was so young, it was so unjust to die!"

"I am unwilling to accept this!"

"So when everyone decided to return to their homeland, I was unwilling to leave! Even if I had to risk my life, I would tear a piece of flesh off the dog emperor!"

The second prince suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this.

So, Aunt Rou actually escaped?

It seems that Jinzhu did not reveal his background, otherwise he should have mentioned it in his words just now.

So, his background was not known to others?

The second prince's mind raced, not wanting to miss any flaws or possibilities.

The ones who destroyed the farm were either the emperor's brother or the Qiao family. After several confrontations, he felt that the Qiao family was more powerful.

Assuming that it was the Qiao family who rushed into the farm, then what reason did the Qiao family have to hide Aunt Rou?

The second prince had doubts in his heart and did not dare to relax.

That trump card can only be used once, and it must be a fatal strike, otherwise there is no chance of him turning things around!

"Foolish! I never thought that there would be a wicked person like you by my mother's side!"

"You are so evil and cruel, you should atone for the death of those children!"

Jinzhu had been prepared to die, and now if he could get rid of the princess and the prince, he would feel that his death was worthy, so he had no resentment in his heart.

"Your Highness! You...you..."

Jinzhu's voice trembled, her face full of disbelief, and then she cried out:

"Princess, Princess, I am the only one who remembers your grievances. I am the only one who remembers them!"

When Qiao Zhongguo saw this, he was secretly amazed.

Sometimes even he couldn't help but marvel that their Qiao family was not only fighting against the Second Prince, but more importantly, they were fighting against Yu Liu who was behind the Second Prince!

Even a maidservant beside Lian Yuliu had such courage and boldness, and her words were flawless!

No wonder he was tricked by Yu Liu even when he had his troops at the gates of the city. Her schemes were truly terrifying!

The biggest gain from destroying the Huguo Temple hideout this time was saving those innocent children. The other was that it aroused public indignation, making it extremely difficult for the Second Prince to ascend the throne!

Fortunately, they did not pin their hopes on completely overthrowing the Second Prince on this matter, otherwise they would have returned empty-handed again!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo looked at the prince calmly.

When should the matter of one's background be brought out?

The prince's eyes moved slightly, but before he could speak, a noise suddenly broke out outside the imperial study.

Huang Pei frowned suddenly, and went out to check before Emperor Yong got angry.

After a while, Huang Pei walked in with a pale face, trembling with a pile of paintings in his hands.

Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows. What happened to scare Huang Pei like this?

Huang Pei's legs were so weak that he fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, some... some palace servants saw some paintings from the East Palace... and are now... presenting them to Your Majesty."

Huang Pei said this, glancing quickly at the prince.

It's over! It's over!

How could the prince be so careless as to allow himself to be plotted against? If the emperor saw the painting, he would surely be furious!
