The little girl rolled her eyes and looked around, but couldn't find the maid who gave him the rose paste.

However, in the end, he still pointed out a person. It was the guard who had been standing guard at the entrance of the Residence of Prince An.

"Mother, that servant girl is not inside, but when she gave us the thing, that uncle saw it."

Jin Xiaotao looked at the person that the girl was pointing at. It was the same person who had been guarding the door when he first came in. There was no guard at the door during the Flower Lover Assembly, so the guard had just been replaced.

"Where is that little girl?"

Prince An shouted at the guard.

The guard was so scared that he trembled.

"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me."

The guard was so scared that he fell to his knees, his face full of fear.

"Speak, what did you see? If you were to honestly say what you saw, This King might not care so much about it."

The pain in her stomach slowly subsided. She was patiently waiting to see what An Wang would say.

The guard looked up at Jin Xiao Ei, his body was trembling slightly.

Jin Xiao Yi rolled her eyes at the guard, and the guard immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.

"Your Highness, at that time, I only saw a girl looking for Lady Jin and her entourage. However, that girl didn't enter through the main entrance. Furthermore, that girl had her back to me at that time, so I don't know if she's someone from the Prince's Mansion or not. "

"Miss Jin, you heard it. That girl is not sure if she is from our Prince's Mansion. It is also possible that she is not a member of our Duke Palace at all. "

From Prince An's point of view, he certainly hoped that the girl wasn't someone from his house. However, even if the guards didn't see anyone coming and going from his house, the current situation meant that the girl was at least from King An's mansion with a rose paste. Thus, this matter had nothing to do with King An's mansion.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid that this elder brother of the guard is lying. "Since the rose paste was made by you, your highness, if that little girl isn't someone from the prince's mansion then she wouldn't be so familiar with where your things are placed, right?"

Nangong Jue knew what Jin Xiaoyi said made sense, that was indeed the case. The matter of him making the rose paste was something that only a few people in the family knew about. That's right, since that's the case, we should find those people and ask them about it. There had to be something he could ask.

"Miss Jin, since this matter happened because of me, I will definitely give an explanation to Miss Jin. "Lady Jin, are you alright? Just now, I saw Lady Jin's expression was extremely ugly, so I was extremely worried."

Jin Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at Nangong Jue. Nangong Jue might be concerned about her on the surface, but who knew what he was thinking in his heart.

It was already good that she was able to remain calm.

If it wasn't for the fact that the rose paste wasn't sent by An Wang himself, she would have already been furious.

It wasn't easy for her to suppress the anger in her heart. Just now, when she had an unbearable pain, she really wanted to let the man in front of her have a taste of that torture.

"Alright, Your Royal Highness, I'll give you this opportunity to investigate. I hope that the Prince will give me an answer as soon as possible. "

Jin Xiao Ai brought Feng Liancheng and the little girl out of the Residence of An. Looking at Jin Xiao Ai's beautiful figure, Nangong Jue's gaze darkened. He had not expected such a thing to happen.

He had originally planned this out, but now that his royal brother had appeared, his plan was ruined.

This time, the royal brother who always hid his strength in the palace was finally going to have a direct confrontation with him.

"Prince …"

Eunuch An Zi, who was standing beside Jin Xiaoyi, opened his mouth when he saw Jin Xiaoyi and the others had left.

Nangong Jue shot an irritated glance at Little An and coldly said, "What is it, go ahead."

"Your Highness, this servant thinks that you are too indulgent towards that Jin Xiao Ai. You are a high and mighty prince, yet she came to you to denounce your crimes. "First of all, your highness didn't do anything to let her down, and even if you really wanted to do something, it would only be crushing an ant. Your highness, why did you have to let those ministers see your joke because of a woman like her?"

Little An had been by Nangong Jue's side for a long time.

It was not such a good thing," he said. If His Highness could successfully request the Emperor to give this woman to him as a concubine, perhaps, His Highness would only be able to obtain the title of a flower that loved beauties. However, the king had not achieved his original goal, yet he could not even handle such a woman. In this way, the prince would definitely become a joke of the crowd.

Right now, those ministers who had followed the prince wholeheartedly for the whole day were planning to help the prince. Now that such a thing had happened, the ministers were bound to have some misgivings.

There was someone in the Prince's Mansion who had done such a thing. framing that girl was only one of them. Their goal was probably to completely strike at the Prince.

At this time, the prince should not care about the love between his son and daughter. He was just a woman, so as long as he took out his rights, that woman would not dare to say a word.

However, the prince remained silent in front of that woman. Even as a eunuch, he was still worried for the prince. Nangong Jue cast an even colder look at Little An.

Once upon a time, Little An Zi hadn't said a single word, but now, he was talking so much nonsense.

"Only then, when is it your turn to teach This King a lesson!" An Zi, don't forget, This King has temporarily pinned your head on your head. If you continue like this, This King might not even have the patience to leave you alive! "

Little An was so frightened by Nangong Jue's words that he dared not speak again.

He knew in his heart that ever since the first time Prince had seen that woman, his eyes had always been filled with that woman.

The Prince is no longer the Prince of the past.

He actually hoped that the previous prince would appear again, but it was impossible.

In all these years, the prince had never been moved by a woman, and had always wanted a peerless beauty by his side, but the prince had taken a fancy to the woman who already had a child. He didn't have the courage to kill that woman for the prince, so if he wanted to vent his anger upon the prince by killing that woman, then no one would be able to constantly remind the prince of this.

Of course, Little An knew in his heart that there was an even more important point. That was, even if he killed Jin Xiaoyi, he might not necessarily be able to kill him.

Little An sighed and retreated.

Fortunately, the prince didn't punish him this time. Otherwise, his butt would have bloomed again.

After Little An left, Nangong Jue's thoughts became even more chaotic. He would call the servants who knew he was making rose paste.

There were three men and four women among them.

These people were all loyal servants of the manor and had followed him ever since he was young. He really didn't want to believe that these people would betray him, but the situation in front of him forced him to turn his attention back to these people.

It was likely that these people would not be able to escape this time.

The three servants were respectively Fu Lu, Fu Shou, and Fu Xiang. They were all Nangong Jue's personal servants. Normally, whenever Nangong Jue wanted to go far away, he would bring them along. They were also the people who handled Nangong Jue's affairs. His position in the prince's mansion had always been relatively high.

The four young maidservants were Cui Zhu, Cui Yu, Cui Lan, and Cui Ju. These four maidservants were all in charge of taking care of Nangong Jue's daily life.

Speaking of which, these few girls would usually clean up Nangong Jue's room, so Nangong Jue's main suspect was these four girls.

He swept a cold glance over the seven of them, taking note of their expressions.

These seven people were not afraid. They did not seem to be suspicious at all.

However, because of this, Nangong Jue felt that it was even more suspicious.

They were in the crowd just now, so they naturally knew the reason why he was looking for them. However, none of them spoke first.

They were indeed the servants of the Residence of Prince An.

"Don't you have anything to say to This King?"

Nangong Jue's eyes swept over the seven of them again. The seven of them lowered their heads and did not say a word. They stood there obediently without even making any small movements.

It seemed that psychological tactics needed to be strengthened.

"Raising your head, you all don't dare to see This King do something that would let This King down?"

With that, everyone raised their heads.

The gazes of all seven of them were in unison. There was nothing strange about them. They all looked so loyal.

Of course, Nangong Jue was clear in his heart, loyalty was not something that could be seen just by looking at it.

"Why, all of you have become mute. You all know why This King is looking for you. Now, all of you are pretending to be mute. Do you really need This King to punish all of you before you are willing to speak the truth?"

Nangong Jue's tone turned serious.

Some of the servants finally could not hold it in anymore.

The one who spoke was a servant called Fu Xiang.

"Your Highness, Fu Xiang has been by your side for several years already. You know what kind of person he is the most. Fu Xiang doesn't want to defend himself." "However, there's something Fu Xiang wants to say. I hope that Your Highness will allow the others to leave first."

Finally, someone was willing to speak.

Nan Gong Jue nodded and had the other six people wait in place.

Nangong Jue and Fu Xiang walked to the side alone.

Fu Xiang whispered a few words to Nangong Jue, and Nangong Jue's expression changed. Then, he waved his hand to allow Fu Xiang to leave.

There were only six people left.

Nangong Jue once again stood in front of the six people, his face turned serious. The six of them were guessing what Fu Xiang had said to Nangong Jue, but none of them dared to make the wrong judgement. After all, if they messed up this matter, they might just get themselves into trouble.

"What do the six of you have to say to This King? If any of you recall anything, This King can also give you a chance to speak to This King alone. "

The six players looked at each other, when another person stood out.

This person was the maid, Cui Zhu.

This kind of internal war was something they could endure. Only, the situation was different today.

Especially this Cui Zhu. In her heart, there was indeed a little Jiu Jiu. Normally, of these four maidservants, Nangong would have the best impression of Cui Zhu. But Cui Zhu had always felt that she was the most likely one to be promoted to a concubine.

Even though the prince had yet to get married, she had always been very confident in her position. However, it was different today. Jin Xiaolei's appearance made her feel as if she was in danger.

Furthermore, she already knew that the reason why the Prince called so many people today and made so many tricks was for the sake of this woman called Jin Xiaoyi. Thus, she had to admit that she had indeed tried to secretly frame Jin Xiaoyi, but failed.

Because of the sudden chaos, she had failed, and very thoroughly.
