And it was at this moment that Su Ranle, who had been silent and motionless for a long time, appeared in the Pear Garden.

Seeing Su Ranle, Hong Yu acted as if she had seen her savior and pushed Hong Ling away, then threw herself onto the body of Fifth Miss Su Ranle.

Su Ranle did not kick her away in disgust, but gently helped her up, and asked softly what had happened to the red jade.

Red Jade instantly burst into tears, her voice filled with emotion. "Fifth Miss, please save this servant. Save this servant. This servant accidentally discovered my family's master's shocking secret!"

"Right now, the lord has sent people to stop his servant, detaining his servant. He has cut off his servant's contact with the outside world, and he might even take his slave's life. In order to prevent this servant from revealing his secret, he pleads for Fifth Miss to save him."

Su Ranle did her best to suppress the corner of her lips that was curling up, and said to Hong Yu: "I wonder what secret it is that actually caused Third Brother to be so afraid, to actually want to keep an insignificant servant girl like you under guard, to not let you leave the palace?"

Hong Ling frowned, seeing the movements, he walked out of the courtyard and saw the servant Hong Yu standing beside Su Ranle, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

The servant girl, Hong Yu, said word by word, "The reason why sire is so afraid is because this secret concerns sire's life and death. Because sire is acting on behalf of Hongzhuang, sire is … "Woman!"

She had cheated the Prime Minister's title of only legitimate son, and had cheated the Son of Heaven into trusting her. She had committed the crime of bullying the sovereign …

And so …

The fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Estate was overjoyed. She immediately used this as a reason to bring the red jade out.

According to the plan, she rushed out of the residence and stopped on the main street. She had just accompanied the Sixth Prince of Chenxi Kingdom and his group of people.

The moment he said that City Lord Su was a girl, the fifth miss of the House of Generals brought her three brothers to Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng's ear.

Afterwards, someone came over to serve Su Jinruo's personal maids, Lv Ruo and Mama Fang, and forcefully took them away …

Right now, it was the time when the Sixth Prince of the Chenxi Kingdom was being entertained, but Su Ranle was told to walk in front of the Chenxi Kingdom Envoys.

When the Son of Heaven heard about this, he was enraged and ordered for Su Jinruo to be interrogated personally.

The sun was setting in the west. A teenager in black robes was walking on the ground where the setting sun was heading towards the palace.

The young man didn't even have the time to change into an official's robe and enter the palace in such a sorry state with the horses' makeup in the afternoon …

As he stepped into the palace, the feast had yet to begin. It was clear that the Old Emperor wanted to end the battle quickly and wanted to finish off Su Jinruo's matter before the palace banquet.

Su Jinruo kneeled on the ground, bowed his head, and bowed to the Old Emperor Queen, then he did not say anything else.

The Empress and Noble Consort Xiang were respectively seated on the left and right sides of the Old Emperor. However, the position of the Noble Consort Xiang was a little lower than the position on the Old Emperor.

At that time, the ministers who accompanied the Sixth Prince of the Chenxi Kingdom were all present, waiting for the Old Emperor to interrogate Su Jinruo and see the results.

The hall was quiet for a while, then Old Emperor opened her mouth and said: "Su Aiqing, there is someone who is accusing you of being their daughter. For you to enter the palace disguised as a man, it is the crime of deceiving the monarch.

Su Jinruo lowered her eyelashes, and kowtowed as she said: "Your majesty's words cause this humble subject to be terrified, but with the body of a man and the body of a woman, how can anyone guess and slander you as they please? Moreover, this humble subject is even a vassal of the emperor himself. However, this humble subject does not dare to speak carelessly in the face of such a big problem. Please make your decision, Your Majesty. "

With his sharp eyes fixed on Su Jinruo, the Old Emperor slowly spoke, his voice filled with dignity.

"If that's the case, you –" Old Emperor's gaze landed on the sky blue dressed Su Ranle and asked: "Tell me, how do you know that Su Aiqing is a daughter?"

Thinking about how she could completely destroy Su Jinruo this time, she forced herself to calm her mind, and replied: "As City Lord Su's daughter, this subject had unintentionally known about it."

After thinking about what Hong Yu had told her, Su Ranle continued: "Originally, it was rumored that City Lord Su said that he had the good fortune of having Long Yi as his daughter. All of City Lord Su's living habits were taken care of by her personal servant girl. Regardless of whether it was the City Lord Su who never allowed his servant girl to stand guard at night or the City Lord Su who never allowed others to serve him when he bathed or changed his clothes, these habits could cause others to be suspicious.

Naturally, this is not enough to prove that City Lord Su is a girl. But Emperor, you bestowed the red jade to City Lord Su's servant girl, she had once unintentionally barged into City Lord Su's bathroom. She had seen City Lord Su's body with her own eyes … If Emperor does not believe in this subject, this servant girl can ask! "

Su Jinruo maintained her silence with her head lowered. On the surface, she looked calm and tranquil, but in her heart, it was hard to tell just how much of a commotion she had created.

Faced with the doubt of her identity, she was not at all nervous. Once the matter of her daughter being found out, convicted of bullying the monarch, and executed as an example to others, she would definitely be unable to escape this calamity.

Up until now, she still hadn't thought of a way to escape unscathed.

Shen Hancheng leaned leisurely against the plum blossom wood chair. Ever since Su Jinruo had entered the arena, his gaze had not shifted one bit.

The expression in his eyes became slightly deeper. No one knew what he was thinking as he stared at Su Jinruo …

The Old Emperor slightly lifted his chin. Eunuch Fu understood and announced, "I am here to see my servant girl, Hong Yu."

Not long later, the servant Hong Yu knelt beside Su Ranle and kowtowed to him.

"This servant, Hong Yu, pays her respects to Your Majesty. Empress, my emperor lives for tens of thousands of years, and Empress lives for thousands of years."

Old Emperor said: "Raise your head and reply."

"Yes."

"Some people say that you can prove that Su Aiqing is a girl. Do you have any proof?"

Red Jade raised her head and shot a glance at Su Chi who was standing at the side out of the corner of her eyes.

She took a deep breath and said: "This servant is a servant girl served in the courtyard of Master Su. I accidentally broke into the bathroom of Master Su and accidentally saw the body of Master Su.

Although I wasn't able to see everything clearly, I was able to see the white cloth that was covered by the Master Su. For example, if a person was not injured, would they be able to take so many white cloths and put them together while bathing and changing their clothes? "

At that time, although she was already with Su Chi, and Su Chi wanted to use her to frame Su Jinruo, what was difficult was that other than Lv Ruo and Mama Fang, Su Jinruo did not have a lot of closeness to each other.

Hong Ling kept staring at her, so even if she wanted to do something out of the ordinary, it would be difficult …

Seeing that Su Chi's expression instantly changed, she could only come up with an excuse to tell him that she knew Su Jinruo's secret.

Sure enough, Su Chi was friendly with her again.

Naturally, she had no way of knowing Su Jinruo's secret. Normally, she wouldn't even see Su Jinruo's shadow, so she wouldn't be able to talk with him.

She thought, in the past Su Jinruo never allowed anyone to get close to him, and even Lv Ruo couldn't do it.

Then, he thought about how Su Jinruo was indifferent to her seduction, and how he would leave Lv Ruo, the beautiful servant girl, alone.

Su Jinruo was really a broken sleeve, or maybe... He was a woman!

Under Su Chi's repeated questioning, Hong Yu was forced to the point where she had no choice but to say that Su Jinruo was her daughter. Hearing that, Su Chi was truly shocked.

Using her little intelligence, she agreed with Su Chi that only after she had personally verified this secret would he be able to make his move.

Thus, the scene of her barging into the bathroom …

That day, although she looked like she was grieving for Su Jinruo, she wasn't, and was constantly observing him.

After bathing, Su Jinruo's daughter's delicate beauty, which she had no time to hide, was all caught in her eyes, and all that her gaze touched upon —

Su Jinruo's body deliberately covered that pile of white cloth.

He was certain in his heart that Su Jinruo was definitely a woman!

She wanted to go out and meet Su Chi so that they could discuss this matter properly, but unexpectedly, Su Jinruo was prepared for her, so she was trapped in the Qian Mo Garden.

She couldn't be Su Jinruo's concubine, so she had to enjoy the glory and be Su Chi's woman. At the very least, that would be better than being a servant girl.

Therefore, she had always been waiting, waiting for Su Chi to tell her that if she was caught off guard by him, she would come and get him.

Sure enough, today, she had come to the Fifth Miss of the Prime Minister's Palace — Su Chi's sister, Su Ranle!

The Empress thought for a while, "Your Majesty, this servant girl used her eyes to see the body of the City Lord Su. You can't … Let the City Lord Su undress himself in public and verify his true form? "

The best and fastest way for Su Jinruo to prove his innocence was to verify it.

But undressing in front of everyone was an undisguised insult to a single person!

Moreover, Su Jinruo was now a fifth grade courtier. If news of her taking off her clothes to prove her innocence were to spread, she would definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world!

Su Chi seemed to have also thought of this. He looked at Su Jinruo, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Su Aimin …" The Old Emperor's sharp gaze fell on Su Jinruo, "Do you have a way to prove your innocence?"

Shen Hancheng's gaze was deep as he stared at Su Jinruo in silence.

Su Jinruo raised his eyes and looked at Old Emperor: "Last time at the palace banquet, someone slandered this humble official for being irresponsible and for killing my own children and wife, but today at the palace feast, someone said this humble servant is dressed in red, this humble official wants to say, what is this?"

The Noble Consort Xiang's eyes flashed. She had received Su Jinruo yesterday and wanted her to test him. She did not have the chance to do so yesterday.

Noble Consort Xiang laughed: "Then what does City Lord Su think it is?"

Glancing at the Noble Consort Xiang, Su Jinruo's indifferent temperament suddenly became severe.

"As everyone knows, a year old humble subject was exiled by the justice courts for underestimating the Grand Commandant's daughter, Lin Qing Qing. If I were a girl, how would I defile Miss Qing? Isn't that absurd? Or is it … There's truth in what happened a year ago, was this humble subject framed?! "

Everyone was startled, especially Su Chi, his expression immediately changed.

One year ago, Su Ranle did not participate in the incident, she only knew that Su Jinruo was the one who caused it.

In the next moment, he felt that Su Jinruo's crime of cheating on the monarch was more serious, so he said: "There must have been a misunderstanding somewhere a year ago. Su Jinruo, you are after all, a woman, you don't have to quibble anymore!"

"Misunderstanding?" Su Jinruo laughed. Her gaze swept past Su Ranle and fixed onto his body.
