Xue Ruyun did not know the ancient punishment, and only thought that one person was responsible for doing things. Now that he heard her speak like this, he finally realized the severity of the situation. Indeed, this ancient era was not like today. The legal society had to use the word 'reason' to describe everything. This ancient empress dowager was the heavens. She could make you die for no reason at all.

Thinking to that point, Xue Luoyun started to become anxious, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks. " Ah, yes, only he can save me. " Xue Ruyun's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered Mu Zheng.

She quickly pulled Senior Servant Gui back and pleaded, "Senior Servant Gui, can I ask for your help? Go report my situation to the emperor on my behalf, and beg him to save me."

"By the way, I almost forgot about that." Only then did the noble mama realize that there was indeed only one person who could help Xue Muyun now.

"Good girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't leave right now. I have to lure you to Ning Xi Palace first before I can leave. "I'm afraid there won't be enough time. By the time the emperor arrives, you've already …" Senior Servant Gui said worriedly.

"No matter what, just hurry up and spread the news for me after you quit. Thank you!" "Senior Servant Gui." Xue Ruyun said this from the bottom of her heart. She felt that this old man, whom she had not seen a few times in the palace, was even more intimate than her relatives.

"That's the only way now." Senior Servant Gui had no choice but to leave with Senior Servant Gui. The two of them hurriedly made their way to the Ning Longevity Palace.

"Bold Xue Luoyun, you deserve to be punished." Xue Ruyun dared to step into the main hall of Ning Longevity Palace, but he only saw the empress dowager clap the armrest angrily, her face full of anger.

Xue Ruyun looked at the surrounding empress dowager who was sitting up and slowly kneeled on the ground. "This subject doesn't know what crime she has committed to make the empress dowager so angry."

"Xue Ruyun, you're so audacious! You actually framed my son, and yet you're so confident and confident!" The empress sat on one side and pointed at Xue Ruyun, unable to contain her anger. She no longer cared about her usual dignified and graceful appearance.

"Your servant truly does not understand your words. That day, when his daughter was out in the mountains, she accidentally met with the Crown Prince's death. Her daughter risked her life to save him and even sent him to the palace. It's fine if you do not receive the reward now, but instead got accused of harming him. This subject cannot afford to bear this crime. " Xue Ruyun was neither humble nor arrogant, and directly faced the Empress.

"Not only are you not admitting your wrongs, you're even being so stubborn. Today, I shall tear this sharp mouth of yours to shreds. " At the side, Chang Le was already filled with resentment. When she thought back to that afternoon's banquet, she couldn't help but remember the humiliation that Xue Moyan had caused her. She was still holding onto this matter and was waiting for the right moment to take revenge. Chang Le spoke without calling her a servant. She walked up and was about to slap Xue Ruoyun with her own hands.

Today was the day he finally got her revenge. Chang Le raised his eyebrows and fanned himself impatiently. However, how could this Xue Luoyun possibly allow others to bully him? Her eyelashes fluttered as she reached up and accurately grabbed onto Chang Le's hand.

Chang Le's eyes were wide open as he hatefully looked at Xue Ruoyun. He was so displeased that he wanted to shake him off. Xue Ruyun twisted her hand, and with just a little bit of force, he was able to twist it behind her back.

"Ahh, it hurts, it hurts! Xue Luoyun, let go!" Chang Le cried out in pain.

Xue Ruyun disdainfully glanced at Chang Le before letting go, his body unmoving.

"How bold. You actually dare to be disrespectful to this princess!" Chang Le shouted and pointed at Xue Luoyun's nose. Xue Ruyun's brow moved, and he was about to extend his hand. When Chang Le saw this, he quickly retracted his hand out of fear.

"How dare you!" When the empress dowager saw that Xue Ruyun had dared to attack the princess inside the palace, she angrily shouted, "Men! Capture this demon and sentence him to death!" With an order from the empress dowager, the surrounding guards immediately surrounded her.

Today, Xue Luoyun was wearing a gown, and he did not bring a sword. Besides, if the empress dowager's Yongning Palace couldn't do anything and frightened her, then the matter of assassinating the crown prince would be cleared clean. If the empress dowager was shocked, then she wouldn't be able to take the blame, and would probably implicate the Xue family as well. Although they didn't do anything to him, he couldn't be as heartless as them. As a result, she could only allow the guards to hold her and shout out, "Empress Dowager, please spare our lives. This subject's daughter has been wronged. May Empress Dowager observe clearly."

"Aren't you afraid now? I tell you, it's too late. " When Chang Le saw Xue Luoyun being caught, he was quite proud of himself. Then, a hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes. He fiercely ordered, "Fasten the splint and give me a clip." Her heart was truly vicious. She knew that as a woman, the most important thing was her slender jade hand.

"Yes." A few guards responded and then brought the folder up.

"This subject's daughter has been wronged." Xue Ruoyun struggled. Looking at this beautiful and delicate girl, he couldn't believe she was going to suffer such a heavy punishment. Even the imperial guards couldn't bear it and hesitated.

"What are you guys blanking out for? If you're too slow, I'll take your lives." Eternal Joy was extremely anxious and wished that he could get rid of this matter as soon as possible.

"Yes." The guard had no choice but to put the splint on.

"Pull it for me!" Chang Le shouted out loud, his eyes full of viciousness.

"Stop!" At this critical moment, a loud and dignified voice rang out from outside the door. Xue Moyan's heart dropped and she turned around. He saw that Mu Zheng was wearing a dragon robe embroidered with golden threads, and an irrepressible anger could be seen on his clearly defined face. The lips on his cold face were pursed, and beside his tall nose were a pair of eyes as cold as ice. He was not angry, but his entire body was emitting a sacred and inviolable majesty.

The two guards held the torture instruments, and lay motionless on the ground out of fear. All the people in the palace were lying on the ground in unison.

"Are you alright?" Mu Zheng ignored the entire palace, and walked straight to Xue Luoyun's side to help her up, his eyes filled with tenderness.

This was the first time Xue Ruyun saw Mu Zheng wearing a dragon robe. He was truly majestic and exuded the aura of a king. He was stunned for a moment. Only after a long time did he regain his senses. "I'm fine."

"The emperor has come at the perfect time. Today, we will interrogate this demoness who framed the crown prince." The empress dowager could not bear to see Mu Zheng so concerned and affectionate, so she interrupted him.

"The Queen Mother was so anxious that she abused her private punishment before finding out about the matter, leaving me no face at all. "This let the people of the world know how they would make fun of me." Mu Zheng's voice was low as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

The Empress was speechless for a moment. Because Mu Zheng had always been the most filial, he had worked hard to help him achieve the world. Therefore, he had always been respectful and humble. The Empress Mother was even more surprised that she would speak to her in such a manner.

The Queen saw that Mu Zheng was so selfish that he didn't care about his son who was lying on the bed. Instead, he spoke up for Xue Luoyun. As a mother, she could no longer afford to be reserved and cultured, nor could she afford to care about the empress's position. She immediately stood up in anger, and insisted that Xue Ruoyun was framing Mu Zhuoyun. "Your majesty, everything is in front of you, what evidence do you need? So the people who were sent out never got a clue, did they? " The empress became hysterical, not caring about her image at all.
