With only Judge Situ Jue left in this small court, I felt much more relaxed and simply sat down in the seat I had originally planned to sit in, waiting for him to continue trying the case.

Situ Jue glanced at me and said, "Why don't you go back and rest as well."

"Ah? I'm leaving too?" I was very confused.

"You have to avoid suspicion. People say it was you who ordered it."

"Yes, now I have been inexplicably pushed to the dock. Without a lawyer, I have to defend myself. What do you mean by sending me away? Let them plot against me behind my back?"

"Even if you don't believe that I will trust you, you have to believe that I'm not a fool." His tone was a little helpless.

"Okay, I'll go then." After saying that, I stood up and took my people to go back to Suxin Pavilion, but I heard Situ Jue add behind me, "Your maid has to stay."

"Why?" I was a little dissatisfied. "She came here with me. If I leave, she has to go with me!"

"Princess..." Xueyan said excitedly, holding my hand. "I am willing to stay. Please investigate this matter thoroughly and clear your name." Her eyes were slightly red as she glared at the person who was still kneeling in the middle of the room. "I want to see who is the black-hearted person who dares to throw dirty water on my princess!"

In that case, I couldn’t say anything and had to come out alone.

When passing by the yard, I saw Lei Ming whispering something to Doctor Sun.

Doctor Sun looked up and met my gaze, then nodded slightly, and I returned the greeting. It seemed that he had also been called in as a witness, and was waiting outside. I didn't know how long he would be tossed around tonight. Even if Situ Jue told me to go back and rest, I couldn't sleep.

Sure enough, not long after I returned to Suxin Pavilion, Lei Ming came over with a message, asking several maids and servants in my courtyard, as well as the nanny, to come over, as the prince wanted to question them one by one.

In addition to me, Situ Jue also asked Lei Ming to let me go to bed early.

I really don't know whether he did it on purpose or not. It's obvious that I'm the one who cares more about Xiyu's pregnancy.

Since I knew Xiyu was pregnant, I have sent her many supplements. If anyone wanted to harm her, I would have done it long ago. Besides, my character is not a vicious female supporting role, so why would I be so reluctant to see a concubine giving birth?

If Xiyu can give birth smoothly, then my divorce with Situ Jue might be smoother, but now...

Who is behind this? I am angry! I have no clue. Thinking back to the time when I was caught kneeling in the room and poisoned someone, I really have no memory of it. I can't remember her swollen face or her voice. It's very strange.

But why did she insist that it was me who ordered her to do it?

Situ Jue, you'd better check this out for me!

I was prepared to toss and turn all night, but after I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep not long after. It was because I was so tired from walking in the mountains during the day, my body was tired and my brain couldn't control it.

When I woke up naturally, I found that Xueyan had not come back all night, and the person who helped me get up was Dujuan.

"The prince said that some things have not been clarified yet, so she can't leave." Du Juan carefully observed my expression, a little worried.

"I gonna go see!"

"The prince also said that you can't interfere in this matter!"

"I'm just going to take a look, it's not like I'm interfering!"

In one night, everyone in this yard became Situ Jue's people? They all spoke in his favor. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got!

"Princess, you don't want breakfast?"

"I'm so angry!" I rushed into Situ Jue's yard without looking back.

Ji Feng at the door stood in front of me without giving me face, "Princess, please stay."

"Did the prince tell you not to let me in?"

"The prince has ordered that no visitors be allowed today."

"I am a guest?"

Ji Feng was stunned by the question and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Lei Ming came over and knocked him, then smiled and helped me out, "Princess, don't argue with this fool. The prince said he would not see guests. Because of Miss Xiyu's matter, our prince just went to bed at dawn and hasn't gotten up yet. But since the princess is here, please go in directly. You are not an outsider. You are the apple of our prince's eye..."

I got a headache listening to him talking so much. "Stop! Stop now! Don't go on."

"Everything I said is true." Lei Ming continued to laugh while leading me.

I went straight into Situ Jue's bedroom. I didn't know if he was really tired. He didn't wake up when I walked to his bed. He was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

But when I looked closer, there were indeed some dark blue marks on his face from staying up late. This guy is really something. He doesn’t know how to take care of his poor health, and he dares to stay up late. Isn’t he afraid of sudden death? Bah! I can’t think about such unlucky things anymore! It’s just the New Year, and there are no good things in the palace.

It seems that I have to continue donating some money to Chongguang Temple and hold a bigger ceremony to get rid of the bad luck.

Just as I was daydreaming, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand to touch me.

"Are you awake? I heard that you just went to bed this morning. If you are sleepy, just sleep a little longer. Anyway, my business is not urgent and can wait."

He silently withdrew his hand, "Why are you here?"

Without waiting for my answer, he continued, "It's because of that maid. She didn't even know her things were taken away by others. She should be taught a lesson. You should also..."

His words stopped abruptly, as if the second half of the sentence was swallowed back, and his eyes stayed on my face, with a dazed expression.

I tilted my head and stared at him, "What are you doing? Is there something dirty on my face? No way, I washed my face before coming here!"

As I said this, I subconsciously touched my cheek twice.

He turned his head away and said sullenly, "Don't look at me like that."

I leaned down a little and asked, "What's that look? Why are you looking at you? I'm just listening to you. What's wrong?"

He suddenly opened his arms, hugged me, and forced me to lie on his chest.

Wow, he was really strong. I was completely stunned. He held me so tightly that I started to breath hard.

"Situ Jue, what are you doing? Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"

When I raised my head and looked into his eyes, I noticed the heat in his eyes, which were full of desire.

Then he hooked his legs around mine, pulled me over, and pushed me into the bed, and we switched positions.

It was then that I really realized the danger. I pushed my hands on his chest and held his body against it. “You…you took the wrong medicine?”

"We are husband and wife after all, and sometimes we do things that couples should do." He looked clearly sober, but a man can also be dominated by desire when he is sober.

So when I felt something pressing on me, I calmly replied, "If you insist on doing this, fine. But after we do it, we will divorce immediately. Don't wait for the right time. If you agree, I will take off my clothes now!"
