The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

Facing Chu Mingzhao's soft gaze, Jiang Li couldn't help but clench his palms slightly.

"My Lord, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

She took a step back and distanced herself from Chu Mingzhao.

"The Crown Princess..."

Chu Mingzhao never expected Jiang Li to refuse. She stared at Jiang Li blankly, her eyes gradually turning red.

She had finally gotten closer to Jiang Li before, but after being away from Kyoto for so long, Jiang Li became distant from her again!

Jiang Li glanced away, not looking at Chu Mingzhao, but staring at Chu Ninghan instead.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the princess was frightened and needs to rest."

As Chu Mingzhao's biological father, he not only did not notice Chu Mingzhao's discomfort, but he even took Chu Mingzhao around everywhere.

"I will make my own arrangements for Zhao Zhao's affairs."

Chu Ninghan turned his head as if to glance at Jiang Li, and the white scarf that fell on his chest shook slightly.

He said coldly: "Princess, wake up the maid immediately."

Jiang Li frowned and almost retorted back.

But now was indeed not the right time to argue with Chu Ninghan. She returned to the bed and quickly removed the silver needle from the palace maid's body.

"Crown Princess... Your servant, why did your servant faint?"

The palace maid woke up slowly and saw Jiang Li taking out the needles.

She sat up in confusion. Didn't she just take Jiang Li to a specially arranged room according to the Imperial Concubine's arrangement?

Why did she suddenly lose consciousness...

"Aha!"

Before Jiang Li could answer, the palace maid's face turned pale instantly.

She cried out in a lost voice: "Princess! Imperial Concubine, His Royal Highness Prince Yong!"

How come they are here!

Especially the imperial concubine, who was forced to kneel on the ground!

"Um!"

Jiang Tan was furious, but couldn't utter a word.

After being slapped just now, her mouth was blocked.

"Zhao Zhao, come here."

Chu Ninghan extended his hand slightly towards Chu Mingzhao until Chu Mingzhao walked to him and held his hand.

He then said again: "Princess, bring your maids and follow me to the main hall."

"Crown Princess... this, this..."

The palace maid was extremely panicked, and even if she was slow-witted, she knew that she had gotten into serious trouble.

"Let's go."

Jiang Li didn't explain much to the palace maid, as Chu Ninghan had completely disrupted her arrangements.

Now that things have come to this, we have to go back to the main hall and see what happens.

The palace maid didn't dare to ask more questions. She followed Jiang Li with a pale face and quickly arrived at the main hall.

Quite a few nobles were seen in the main hall. Most of them looked well enough and there was no sign that they had experienced an assassination attempt before.

In addition, there were Xie Jun and Xie Yan who were still kneeling in the hall and being stared at by the crowd.

"This is really crazy... The prince of Yongning actually did such a thing in the palace!"

"The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"

Although the emperor sat on the throne after entering the palace, he did not mention what mistakes Xie Jun and Xie Yan had made.

But the incident outside Taoyuan Palace was quite a big deal, and the nobles in the palace had heard most of it.

"It's really disrespectful and brings disgrace to Marquis Yongning!"

"If he wasn't the only heir to the Yongning Marquis, I'm afraid the position of the Crown Prince would be..."

"Tsk tsk! Shame on you!"

Xie Jun listened to the pervasive discussions around him, and his cheeks were sore from biting them.

He stared at the dark blue floor tiles. According to the plan, the people kneeling here should be Jiang Li and Chu Ninghan!

But now it has become him and Xie Yan!

"Your Highness Prince Yong, Your Highness Princess, the Princess of Yongning has arrived."

The people who were whispering suddenly fell silent, and the empty hall was left with only the sound of footsteps.

Xie Jun wanted to tear Jiang Li into pieces, but he had to keep his head down.

"Oh!"

A person came over to Xie Jun's side. He took a look subconsciously and his eyes widened immediately, not caring whether Jiang Li would see him or not.

"Concubine!"

"Oh my god, how could the concubine be tied up!"

"It seems like I was slapped!"

The emperor was originally drinking wine leisurely, waiting for the good news from Jiang Tan that he had caught the adulterer.

But, how come nothing happened between Chu Ninghan and Jiang Li, and the person who was arrested was Jiang Tan instead!

"presumptuous!"

The emperor lost control and threw the wine cup away. "Prince Yong, how dare you treat the imperial concubine like this! Are you planning a rebellion?"

Originally, he didn't dare to speak to Chu Ninghan like this, but the concessions made by Prince Yong's Mansion over the years did make the emperor arrogant.

Also, Chu Ninghan had Jiang Tan kidnapped, which was a slap in his face!

It's up to the owner to beat the dog!

The emperor shouted angrily: "Why don't you untie the imperial concubine?"

"Your Majesty, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The imperial concubine attempted to murder the Yongning Crown Prince's wife but failed, and murdered a palace maid. There are witnesses and evidence."

Chu Ninghan stood at the bottom of the steps, raising his head slightly.

His eyes were covered with a white scarf, but he seemed to be able to see and had real gaze.

The emperor was startled, and his courage, which was boosted by alcohol, deflated instantly like a ball with its skin pierced by a needle.

"No, how is this possible!"

The emperor tightly grasped the armrest of the throne, "Prince Yong, the imperial concubine has always been gentle and kind-hearted. How could she do something like murdering the Crown Prince's wife?"

"Your Highness is following my orders to look for the Crown Prince Yongning's wife. This must all be a misunderstanding!"

The emperor looked at Jiang Li, "Crown Princess, do you think so?"

If Jiang Li dares to say anything wrong, the emperor will never forgive her, even the Yongning Marquisate!

The emperor could not touch Prince Yong's Mansion, so it would be easy for him to crush a Marquis' Mansion which was already in decline!

Even though he was once caught by Marquis Yongning, he was given a golden warrant to save his life.

But, so what!

He was the one who gave out the death-immunity golden warrant. If he admitted it, he could be spared from death. If he did not admit it, it would be just scrap metal!

"Your Majesty, as His Royal Highness Prince Yong said."

Jiang Li stepped forward and bowed, his voice light but very firm and upright.

"Your Highness is my elder sister, and I don't want to believe that you want to harm me."

Jiang Li sighed deeply, "But the imperial concubine broke into the room, first slandering me for secretly hiding a man, and then trying to kill the maid and put the blame on me."

"Fortunately..."

As he spoke, Jiang Li paused slightly.

"Prince Yong and the princess happened to pass by and heard the imperial concubine blaming me. The palace maids inside and outside the room saw it with their own eyes."

The palace servants who witnessed the whole process all had pale faces. What happened today was exactly as Jiang Li said.

However, none of them dared to speak out.

One of the palace maids even crawled forward two steps, "Your Majesty, please understand clearly that the Imperial Concubine clearly invited the Crown Prince's Concubine, but...but the Crown Prince's Concubine was extremely rude to the Imperial Concubine. Prince Yong and the Princess suddenly appeared, and they directly slandered the Imperial Concubine for having the intention to harm others!"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is innocent!"

The maid prostrated herself on the ground, her voice sharp and somewhat shrill, "Your Majesty, please clear the Queen's name!"
