"You're slandering me, so I'm too lazy to quarrel with you. Let your highness decide everything."

Hu Jie was worried that the more he said, the more wrong he would get, so he quickly changed the topic to the prince.

"Prince, it's not me …" Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Ying and shook his head, hoping that he would believe him.

Mu Rong Zhan looked at Xue Ruyun, then looked at everyone in the room, and then looked at the servants who were whispering to each other outside. He felt extremely conflicted.

He had experienced life and death with Xue Luoyun, so he absolutely believed in his character. She absolutely would not do something so compatible. But now that these concubines had caused such a ruckus, the evidence was' conclusive '.

If this matter wasn't resolved today, with the personalities of the concubines, regardless of whether or not this matter was investigated or not, they would definitely announce it without restraint, and ruin Xue Luoyun's reputation. But how to deal with it, Mu Sheng had a headache.

At this moment, when Liu Ruyi heard Xiao Cui's announcement, she knew that the secondary wife had made her move. She hurriedly rushed back to the manor. No wonder they asked her to go out and buy so many things today. They wanted her to leave. Liu Ruyi regretted endlessly.

"Seeing Prince like that, Xue Luoyun is dead for sure today. Several of the secondary wives were kneeling down. They exchanged glances with each other when they saw the serious and dark expression on their faces. Their hearts were already celebrating in advance.

Xue Ruyun looked at these ugly faces, and then looked at the frowning Mu Sheng. He knew that he must have suspected him. Xue Luoyun was somewhat sad, but even more so resentful.

Everyone remained silent. The whole room was silent as they quietly observed Mu Ying's expression.

Mu Ying was silent for a very long time, until a few of his secondary concubines kneeled down until their feet became numb. Mu Ying suddenly stood up and walked step by step towards Xue Ruyun.

Xue Ruyun saw that his brow was filled with sadness. He tightly pursed his lips, and in his heart, he must have felt very uncomfortable. Even though he had been wrongly accused. However, these secondary wives' words were quite serious and they even brought up the 'evidence'. It was hard to avoid suspicion from Mu Sheng.

Xue Ruyun had never seen Mu Ying with such a sorrowful expression before, so he suddenly felt his heart ache for him. He was extremely busy and devoted to the people. When they returned to the Prince's Mansion, they only wanted to have peace. However, the secondary concubines had deliberately fabricated facts and caused so much trouble. Not only had he slandered Xue Ruyun, he had also humiliated Mu Ying, making him unable to raise his head in front of outsiders because of this matter.

Thinking of this, Xue Luoyun began to understand more and more why Mu Ying had never shared a room with them, nor why he had ignored them.

Mu Ying walked closer and closer. The other concubines all raised their heads and secretly clenched their fists, anticipating Mu Ying to immediately give Xue Lao Yun a ruthless slap.

Mu Ying walked in front of Xue Ruyun and raised her hand. A few of the concubines couldn't help but cry out in alarm. They almost shouted, "Beat her to death!"

Xue Ruyun stared into Mu Ying's eyes without moving at all, his eyes filled with grief.

At this time, Mu Ying's hand gently fell on Xue Ruyun's face. He gently stroked the hair on Xue Ruyun's temples and gently smiled. "How is it? You must be scared. Actually, I placed this letter under your pillow to give you a surprise. I never thought that I would be messed up by these people. "

Everyone was shocked when they heard Mu Sheng's words. Everyone looked at him in shock. After thinking about it for a moment, Xue Ruoyun understood the painstaking efforts Mu Ying had put in.

Mu Sheng would never write to do such a thing. And he also knew that he liked coral, not some jade pendant. Furthermore, with Mu Ying's reserved personality, he would never write such a corny love story. The reason he did this was to protect Xue Luoyun's reputation.

Because right now, all of the servants were watching. Although he definitely didn't do it himself, with 'solid evidence', he couldn't remove any suspicions and still needed to investigate slowly. However, people's words were very frightening. Before this matter was made clear, the servants would spread the rumours and spread it. This scandal would definitely spread like wildfire throughout the city.

Besides, a few of the secondary wives weren't easy to deal with either. Apart from bragging loudly, they might even cause a ruckus all the way to the empress dowager. The empress dowager didn't like Xue Ruyun in the first place, so when she heard of this, she became even more furious.

And now, with Mu Sheng and Xue Ruoyun having no evidence to uncover the plot of the other concubines, this was the best method.

Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Ying and understood his patience and perseverance. His tears fell down as he said, "Thank you." Xue Ruyun threw himself into Mu Sheng's arms.

Hearing this, several of the secondary wives had a complicated expression on their faces. They were well aware of the origin of this letter and the jade pendant. However, in order to protect Xue Ruyun, Mu Ying had said that he had let him do it.

What was he doing this for? Was he that magnanimous? Even if Xue Muyun did something that let him down and had a secret relationship with someone behind his back, he wouldn't care? Upon thinking about how the prince had such a deep affection for Xue Muyun, Chu Feng couldn't help thinking about how much he loved him.

If he could not care less about such matters, then what else in this world could separate them?

They didn't know that Mu Sheng and Xue Ruoyun had long since become the people they trusted the most in each other's hearts. What's more, the Crown Prince didn't care about Xue Ruyun facing the Emperor, how could he care about the people outside? The two of them wouldn't believe it at all.

The other concubines did not expect things to turn out this way. Everything that they planned for next was disrupted.

"But Your Royal Highness, this jade pendant is obviously signed 'Minister Wang', and this jade pendant is obviously filled with the love of fish and water, you will never wear it, furthermore, the two of you are together every day, why would the letter say 'if the relationship is long, then how can it last from dawn to dusk'?"

Even at this point, Hu Tangjian still refused to give up. Even if the prince didn't care, she still wholeheartedly wanted to ruin Xue Ruyun's reputation.

Mu Rong Zhan let go of Xue Ruyun and gently wiped away her tears. When he turned around, his expression immediately changed.

"This King is the Prince, what else can I call you if not Minister Wang?" Also, this jade pendant is obviously a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. You really do not know shame for trying to decipher this merry fish water. I often go to and fro the military camp. Within the Imperial Palace, I don't have time to accompany Madame and write a letter expressing my mutual love.

Seeing Hu Jie still being so overbearing and not caring about the big matter, the anger in Mu Sheng's heart rose.

"Chenqie, chenqie doesn't dare." Hu Jie lowered his head in embarrassment.

When the servants heard Mu Yong's words, they immediately understood. So this was all due to the King's intentions towards his wife. It seemed like the two of them were truly as the rumours said, they truly loved each other. On the other hand, these concubines were jealous of the prince and his wife and had purposely come to cause trouble. The servants immediately understood.

"I don't dare. I see that all of you are very daring."

Mu Ying glared at Hu Jie and said in a cold tone.

"Ever since Madam married into the palace, you have always been against her. He didn't recognize her as the main wife. Do you think I don't know how many tricks you've played in private? And today, you guys have come to the Madam's residence to cause a ruckus and slander the Madam. I don't think there's a need for you guys to stay in the Prince's Mansion, let's go. "

Mu Sheng had already had enough. He didn't want them to make a ruckus in the mansion again, so he directly said some harsh words.

"Ah, no, Your Highness." The several concubines trembled in fear when they heard Mu Ying's words. They all crawled forward to beg for his help.

Their original intention was to win Mu Sheng's heart, but they never thought that the matter would be overdone, causing Mu Ying to be so angry. If he was let go because of this, it would really be a loss to him.

"Your Highness..." Seeing them act this way, Xue Ruoyun wanted to urge Mu Sheng to win, but he was stopped by Mu Sheng.

"All of you look dignified, virtuous, and sensible. That's why I raised you all in my manor. But now, you guys are attacking people without respect. You're chasing after the shadows and causing trouble...] To annoy this king so much, why did I leave you all here?! "

Mu Ying thought back to how they had endured for a long time. Ever since they went to the empress dowager's place to ask for marriage, and then to the empress dowager's place to complain, he no longer wanted to endure.

"My lord, my prince, my concubines were in a rush and made a mistake. My concubines know their wrongs." I beg that you, your highness, for the sake of your husband and wife, forgive your concubines this time, but we will never dare to do so again. " Several of the secondary wives began begging for mercy.

Mu Ying looked at them. He had been acting arrogant and proud a moment ago, but now he felt pity for them. After all, the empress dowager was the one who bestowed the marriage, and they all had family backgrounds. It wasn't good to be too ruthless.

Thinking of this, Mu Ying was extremely annoyed as he berated them, "All of you, go back to your rooms and reflect on your actions. Without my order, don't come out for the next few months!"

"Yes, Your Highness." When the concubines heard that Mu Sheng had given up on chasing them away, they hurriedly retreated.

"Everyone, get out!" Mu Yong roared angrily in a low voice, as if he was flipping over a table on the side.

Seeing that the prince was furious and that everyone had disappeared without a trace in an instant, Xue Luoyun hesitated for a moment, but he still turned around and walked out.

Mu Sheng, who was still fuming, turned his head and saw that Xue Ruyun had also left. He was really going to explode with anger, so he quickly went up and pulled Xue Ruyun back, then closed the door.

"What are you doing!" Mu Rong Hao irritably roared at Xue Ruyun.

"Didn't you tell everyone to leave? I thought you wanted to be alone, so …" Xue Ruyun softly said.

"I … I'm letting everyone leave, but you're the only one!" Mu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was really going to be angered to death by her.

"Oh." Xue Luoyun sat down.

Mu Yong glanced at her and sat down without a word. She was still full of resentment as she sat there.

The two remained silent for a while.

Xue Ruyun stealthily glanced at Mu Ying. He couldn't possibly have thought that what just happened was real, right? It was clearly impossible for him, but why did he leave his in his room and didn't say anything?

At this moment, Mu Ying had mixed feelings. Other than being angry at a few of his concubines, he was also sulking. He clearly knew that it was impossible for him to have an affair with someone else, much less have any interest in anyone other than himself. However, he was just jealous. He was jealous of this imaginary man that never existed.
