Meng Ling Xuan had looked at the contents of the box. After confirming that it wasn't his wife who had put it in the box, he had blindfolded Song Xiangsi.

He did not want Song Xiangsi to see what was wrong with him. Just by looking at the expressions of the people present, he could tell who did this. Since he wanted to play, he might as well play big.

"What's wrong? Show me. " However, Song Xiangsi did not believe it. She really wanted to see it. How could the gift she prepared be wrong?

"Stop pretending, there is actually a venomous woman like you in this world. Previously, you said that you weren't jealous of the princess, and now I can tell that you are lying." This matter was related to his sister, so of course the Emperor would not be that rational.

"Your majesty, perhaps there is some misunderstanding. If there is a false accusation, then it is unavoidable." Meng Ling Xuan wanted to buy more time. Although he knew Shangguan Yi was the culprit, he wanted more time to wait for someone to show up on their own.

"What, I have a lot of time, I don't have the time to waste here with you. Men, drag this man away for me. " The emperor had not specifically mentioned the crown prince's consort. In his opinion, he didn't want to admit his identity, but now that something like this had happened, if it wasn't for Meng Ling Xuan protecting him, he would have been killed immediately.

Seeing that he was taken away just like that, even if he did not see what was in the box, he knew that it was definitely not something good. Unexpectedly, he was a little touched, but Meng Ling Xuan didn't let go of every detail.

As long as it was something that was bad for him, he could avoid it as much as he could, and he wouldn't be able to see anything bad.

"Your majesty, if I can prove my innocence, can your majesty apologize to me?" Song Xiangsi was not that stupid. Upon closer inspection, she realized that her gift box had actually been swapped.

Looking at the scene again, it was likely that someone had purposely changed two items. Clearly, his gift box was still underneath it. If he knew who gave that gift to him, he would know who framed him.

He had probably been making preparations ever since he had received the invitation card. Since he knew that someone was trying to frame him, how could Song Xiangsi not be prepared?

"You are now my prisoner, how dare you negotiate conditions with me?" "Besides, the evidence is conclusive now. Why should I believe you?" The emperor was angered just by looking at Song Xiangsi. This girl was actually negotiating conditions with him?

Since when did he apologize to others? Besides, he was willing to believe his own eyes. With so many people watching, how could there be a chance of the case being solved?

"Royal brother, since the Crown Princess has said so, why don't we give her a chance? Think of it as my younger sister's birthday, and give me some face, your royal brother? " The princess felt unlucky to see such a thing, but her royal brother was looking at her.

The princess was a smart person. Since she couldn't be with her crown prince brother, she had to at least maintain a good image in front of him.

"Alright then. On account of my royal sister's face, I will temporarily discuss this condition with you." "However, you must prove that you can pass the test with my proof. Also, if you want to bet, then the stakes will be higher. If you cannot prove it, I will revoke your position as the Crown Princess."

When the Emperor's words came out, some of the people present were happy, while others were worried. Almost all of them were happy to see the crown prince's little girl. The crown prince was their favorite, and most of them were worried that there was no one else apart from the crown prince himself.

It wasn't that Meng Ling Xuan didn't believe Song Xiang Si could prove himself, but the price sounded a little heavy. He also wouldn't allow others to make fun of him for his love.

In his opinion, this was absurd. He gave the emperor a vicious look. This was also the first time the two brothers exchanged such an expression.

Perhaps he knew that Meng Ling Xuan might get angry, but the Emperor's tone of voice immediately weakened. He still had to take care of this brother of his.

"Alright, I agree." Song Xiangsi knew that Meng Ling Xuan wasn't happy. She could also feel that when he held her hand, he had exerted a little strength, but she couldn't back down now.

"Like I said, this gift box isn't mine. My gift box also has a special symbol on it. I've already seen it on the scene. Princess, please continue to open it." Song Xiangsi could already guess who it was by observing the reactions of the people around her.

However, he still had to take a look. Shangguan Yi's brows were knitted tightly, he was pretty much there.

When she opened Shangguan Yi's gift box, Song Xiangsi suddenly stopped her, "Princess, wait a moment, this box is mine. There's a wooden sculpture inside, and although it's very ordinary, it's the only one in the world, and there's also the princess' name."

If he had not known about it in advance, Song Xiangsi would not have given away such an ordinary toy. However, it was Meng Duanxuan who had told her that the princess, when she was young, had become very fond of wooden sculptures, which was why she had given up on this.

"Oh? If you are so sure that this is your gift box, then whose was the previous one? If it's not the wooden sculpture you're talking about, you can just wait for it to open up and go to jail. " The Emperor was still unable to calm down. He looked at Song Xiangsi and could not stop his anger.

"Does the emperor care so much about my wife? I won't let her go to jail." Seeing his wife being called such by the Emperor, not even brothers would be able to tolerate it.

When the princess opened the box, she saw that it was indeed a wooden sculpture. Not to mention how much she liked it, she had kept the box in her hand the entire time. Just when Song Xiangsi said that it was a wooden sculpture, the princess had already started to look forward to it.

"The princess can see that at the level of the wooden sculpture, there is also the princess' name." He had prepared something for the princess, after all, and she was pleased with it.

Looking at how the princess was enjoying herself, she thought about what Shangguan Yi had said earlier. It seemed like there really might be some special relationship between Meng Ling Xuan and the princess. She would settle this debt once she got home.

"Your Majesty, can you now prove that I didn't gift that item just now? "This wooden sculpture is a gift from Crown Prince and I to the princess. The Crown Prince said that the princess really liked this as a child."

That was what Song Xiangsi had said on purpose, she wanted to see the princess' reaction. Sure enough, she saw the princess' surprise.

He probably didn't expect that he would still be able to remember it. It had already been so long. The princess said that she really liked this gift and would definitely cherish it.

"Thank you, Princess, for liking this gift, and we are very happy. Is someone going to apologize to me now? " Song Xiangsi still remembered it. When she thought of the high and mighty Emperor wanting to apologize to her, she could not help but laugh.

Of course she knew that the emperor was biased against her. Although she didn't know the reason, as long as she was happy, everything would be fine.

"Hmm? I didn't say that I wanted to apologize to you. Was there a saying that I wanted to apologize to you in the wager that I've just made? Did you all hear that? " Who would dare say that they had heard the emperor's words? The officials all expressed their displeasure.
