This medicine had been fried outside, but the dregs in the medicine jar had been brought back to the tent. This was to let the Emperor see that, and to make it even more certain that this Feng Yunyao was framing the Eleventh Princess.
Moreover, she actually used such a dangerous method.
This dried snow toad and dry shellfish were only one thing that could cause asthma, and she was actually in danger. Even if she used two methods, she still wanted to frame Princess Eleven. And the reason —
Lian Ruyue glanced at Xiao He and recalled the abnormal reaction of Xiao He and Princess Eleven when they were at the Kudong Square. She instantly understood.
Now, how could he help Princess Eleven to escape suspicion?
At this time, Feng Yunzheng also quietly walked into the tent. Standing behind Lian Lu Yue, Lian Ru Yue turned around and nodded at her, indicating that she should not speak.
The emperor, however, was furious when he saw the malicious substance in the dregs. He glared at Feng Lingyue and said, "So you're like your mother, harboring malicious intentions. You actually harbored malicious intentions towards your own sister."
"Father, I didn't. I really did not harm Thirteenth Sister. Please believe me, Father. I never wanted to harm her, it's true, Father."
"Humph!" The emperor coldly snorted. With a cold face and a ruthless expression, he looked at the person crying on the ground and said cruelly —
"Do you think you can take her place in my heart now that she is gone? I tell you, it's never going to happen. I have never liked you as a daughter. From the day you were born, I felt uncomfortable in my heart when I saw you. "
"…" Princess Eleven suddenly raises her head, her heart felt as if ten thousand needles had pierced her heart at the same time. She looked at the emperor in disbelief, tears rolling down her face, her voice trembling as she looked at him with pleading eyes, "Father, royal father, you are lying to me, right? You actually do like me a little because you're angry, that's why you said that, right …"
Why did you say such cruel words? royal father, my heart really hurts.
"What I regret the most is that I did not execute you along with your mother when she committed the crime!" However, facing the pleading gaze of Eleven, Zhou Chengdi did not budge. Instead, he said something even more heartless.
Princess Eleven's body went limp as she sat on the ground. A trace of a despairing, bitter smile was revealed on her face.
"Your majesty!" Xiao He abruptly knelt down on both knees. "I'm begging you!"
"Xiao He, say more, I'll immediately rescind your marriage!" "Capture Princess Eleven and send her back to the Celestial Prison immediately. When she returns to the palace, I will decide!"
"Yes sir!" When the Imperial Bodyguards entered, they saw that Princess Eleven had lost her tears and her face was ashen. She was like a spirit bird with broken wings, and her whole body was riddled with wounds and blood stains. They could not help but hesitate for a moment.
"Your Imperial Majesty, please ask this lowly one to escort the princess back to the palace in the future." Xiao He hurriedly said.
"Xiao He!" At this time, Xiao Zhenhai hurriedly walked in. He raised his leg and kicked Xiao He's shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground, "Evil creature! This is the emperor's family business, how can you say such things! "
Then he knelt in front of Emperor Zhou Cheng Di and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject will bring this evil creature back and give it a good beating!"
Zhou Cheng Di raised his hand and Xiao Zhen Hai signaled Xiao Hu to pull Xiao He outside.
"Father!" Xiao He looked pleadingly at Xiao Zhenhai. Xiao Zhenhai narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "If you speak any more, it will only anger the Emperor. It will be useless!"
After Xiao He was taken away, Feng Lingyue was shackled by the guards and locked in a prison cart.
This time, the emperor didn't care about the honor of the imperial family anymore.
Princess Eleven didn't seem to feel anything either. Her face was pale as she sat inside the carriage with her back against the carriage. She didn't have any expression on her face, but it looked like it would break anyone's heart.
Soon, the rumor that Princess Eleven had harmed Princess Thirteen was known by everyone in the stable.
The old man was kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear, but he did not dare to say a single word. Lian Ruyue nodded at Leng Mei, who understood his meaning and walked over to the old man's side and said a few words to her.
She abruptly raised her head and saw the County Lord Rong and the Ninth Prince standing across from her. These two people were looking at her and she suddenly felt as if she was looking at hope.
Inside Lian Ruyue's tent, she kneeled on the ground. Lian Ruyue gestured for Qing Dai to help her up and sat on a chair as she asked:
"Greetings, you must tell me everything that happened now. From the moment Princess Eleven receives the orders from the emperor to accompany her in the 13th Princess' tent, don't miss a single detail."
"Yes, County Lord, it's like this. Princess Eleven originally had her own tent, but Princess Thirteen said Lian Zhaoyi wasn't here. She was afraid of living alone, so she invited Princess Eleven over …"
Zhili recounted everything that had happened in detail.
"It seems that Thirteenth Princess wanted to harm the Eleventh Princess for a long time. I heard that during the last birthday banquet, my father begged the Emperor for help so that the Eleventh Princess could leave the palace. Now, I think about it, she wanted to do something to the Eleventh Princess that time, but because so many things happened that day, she didn't have the opportunity to do it."
"County Lord, I beg of you, the princess is so pitiful. I beg of you, please find a way to save her, no one in the palace will help her. If the county Lord doesn't help, the princess will really, really …" As he spoke, he could not help but shed tears at the thought of Princess Eleven's situation.
"Don't worry, I won't leave the Eleventh Princess alone." Lian Ruyue said.
"But, but Princess Thirteen is your cousin after all, and her mufei is your aunt. You …" The officer replied with a worried expression.
Lian Ruyue's face revealed a faint expression. If Zhili knew that she had already been merciless to her aunt once, he wouldn't have this kind of worry.
"Elder Sister Zhi Li, don't worry. Our young mistress is a person who keeps her word. Since she said that she would help the Eleventh Princess, she will definitely help her to the end." "I'm sorry," she explained, knowing her concern.
"Yes, County Lord. Your servant understands. Your servant will thank you on behalf of Princess Eleven." The greeting solemnly kowtowed to Lian Xiyue.
After the Concubine left.
Lian Ruyue sat in front of the candle flame. It was already late at night, but she was still awake. Her mind was still recalling the events that happened today.
Both Leng Mei and Qing Dai did not urge her to rest as they both had a very tacit understanding. They just quietly accompanied her in the tent.
After a long time, Lian Meng Yue asked, "Where is Princess Eleven's prison cart now?"
"Eldest Miss, the Emperor has sent soldiers to guard the stable. No one is allowed to approach." Leng Mei took a step forward and answered.
"Give me that fox fur cloak. I'll go take a look." Lian Ru Yue stood up and instructed.
"Yes."
Lian Ruyue was wearing a cape and walked all the way to the stable, and sure enough, there was a soldier holding hands. On the huge stable, a prison cart was parked there, and Princess Eleven was sitting alone in it. She stared at the starry sky with a pair of lifeless eyes.
She had just approached when Jiang Keji walked over and said,
"County Lord, please wait a moment. The Emperor ordered that no one is to visit."
Lian Ruyue lifted her eyes and coldly glanced at Jiang Keji. She took off the fox fur cloak on her body and said, "I know that it's an order from the emperor, so I didn't plan on disobeying it. Now I'm only giving this cloak to the princess to protect her from the cold.
When he was captured by the emperor just now, she wasn't even wearing a robe. She was only wearing a thin layer of inner clothing, as well as a moon-white inner garment. It was already late at night, and the weather was cold.
"…" Jiang Keji did not say anything. He extended his hand to grab the cloak.
"Lord Commander!" The guard at the side hurriedly said. This was against the rules.
"Take the cloak and put it on the princess!" Jiang Keji glanced at the guard and ordered in a cold voice.
The guard paused for a moment. Then, he took the cloak and handed it over to Princess Eleven.
