Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

"What did you say? Who's in there?"

Zhang Ruoxue's face was full of shock.

She suspected that she had heard it wrong, and was only focused on finding out who the person inside was. She even forgot the current situation and the presence of the emperor, empress, and many ministers who would not tolerate her being presumptuous.

"Yes...it's the Third Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Crown Prince of Xilin Kingdom."

The palace maids knelt on the ground, feeling extremely terrified.

Although Mo Li on the side was also very shocked, he disguised himself well and immediately restrained his expression. However, when he heard that the person inside was Xia Ruyan, he could not help but clench his fists.

How could it become Yan'er?

Were they being counter-plotted?

Some of the other ministers were surprised, while others seemed to have expected it and watched the fun as if it had nothing to do with them. Surprisingly, when the people in the Prime Minister's Office heard the news, their reaction was very calm.

Xia Ruyan and the other person who were still in the hall had special identities, so no one dared to take them out. Outside the hall, no one dared to speak.

Just waiting to see your Majesty's attitude.

"My dear ministers, who can give me an explanation?"

Mo Chen glanced at everyone coldly, his voice filled with chill.

Seeing this, no one dared to look up. An older minister spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We heard that something happened in the side hall and we were worried. That's why we came here. We don't want to... don't want to..."

He really couldn't say the next words.

Some ministers pointed the finger at the Prime Minister's Office.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the one with the Crown Prince of Xilin Kingdom is your Third Young Lady. I wonder what explanation Prime Minister Xia has for this?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I failed to teach my daughter well," Prime Minister Xia apologized in a respectful manner, not trying to defend Xia Ruyan. "I know I am guilty. I will leave everything to Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Xia's words were somewhat surprising.

But think about it, in the original plot, Xia Ruyan and the Prime Minister's Mansion had always had a bad relationship, even after she became the queen. Perhaps, this was not just Xia Ruyan's unilateral act.

[Yes, host. Xia Ruyan's biological mother used some trickery to get into Prime Minister Xia's bed, and almost destroyed the relationship between Prime Minister Xia and Madam Xia, so Prime Minister Xia doesn't like this daughter.]

These things were not explained in detail in the original plot. It was only a few days ago when Prime Minister Xia discovered that Xia Ruyan was actually having an affair with Prince Li that this past event was brought up again.

"No wonder."

Lan Qian said in a flat tone and paid no more attention.

"I will naturally investigate today's incident thoroughly," Mo Chen said coldly, "Come here, bring these two out first."

"Yes."

With the emperor's order, the palace servants immediately entered the hall and brought out Xia Ruyanyan and Nangong Ze. When they came out, their clothes were still a little disheveled and they did not look very sober.

Seeing that the two people in the hall were indeed Nangong Ze and Xia Ruyan, everyone couldn't help but whisper to the people around them, and Mo Li saw Xia Ruyan and Nangong Ze together with his own eyes, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Zhang Ruoxue on the other side was in a state of panic.

Xia Ruyan is the female lead, how could she have a relationship with the second male lead?

It's a mess, everything is a mess...

Seeing so many people at this time, Xia Ruyan and Nangong Ze finally realized what had happened between them.

Especially Nangong Ze, whose face was filled with panic.

"Your Majesty, we were framed!"

He quickly defended himself.

Mo Chen's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible coldness. These people wanted to destroy his and Qian Qian's relationship, which was unforgivable. However, his face did not reveal his true thoughts, and he only said without any emotion:

"Prince Xilin, do you know who framed you?"

"This...we..."

Nangong Ze didn't know how to continue defending himself for a moment.

Their target was originally Mo Chen, but now Mo Chen is standing here just fine, and Nangong Qing is nowhere to be found, but it is him and Xia Ruyan who are here instead... Could it be that Mo Chen has already known their plan?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

If so, then they...

"I don't know who framed me and the Crown Prince Xilin."

Xia Ruyan spoke at this time. She already understood her current situation. Their plan this time had completely failed, but she was not sure who was using her plan to plot against her and Nangong Ze.

The person most capable of doing this is Mo Chen.

It could also be Lan Qian. In order to maintain her own status and favor, she is the one with the most motivation to do this.

Or maybe it was the missing Nangong Qing. She was the second female lead who liked Mo Li. If she knew about this plan from Nangong Ze, she would have joined forces with some people in order to avoid entering the palace...

"I am a stranger to the Crown Prince of Xilin Kingdom. I have only seen him from a distance twice at palace banquets. We have never interacted with each other on weekdays. If I had not been framed, how could I have met the Crown Prince of Xilin Kingdom..."

This was the first time she suffered such a big setback. She underestimated the martial arts of this world and got caught by mistake.

And where did Xue Zhuang go?

He possesses the best martial arts skills in the world and is unlikely to be caught. Could it be that he was bribed to betray her?

"Since both Crown Prince Xilin and Miss Xia said so," Lan Qian said calmly, "why not ask the imperial physician to take a look and see if there is anything inappropriate in this side hall."

"Qianqian is absolutely right."

Mo Chen took over the conversation in a gentle tone.

Everyone had long been accustomed to the completely different attitudes of their Majesty when facing the Queen and when facing other people, and it was no longer surprising.

Sure enough, the next sentence returned to the cold tone.

"Come here, send the imperial doctor."
