The prince slightly moved aside, blocking the way, and said, "The Crown Princess is still inside. Lord Governor, can you wait until the Crown Princess has finished packing before going in to check?"

Unexpectedly, the head of the East Depot showed him no respect at all and didn't even glance at him.

With a flick of his sleeves, he led the crowd of guards straight to the bedroom.

Xiao Xuan was startled and quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "Superintendent..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was held down by the black-clad guard from behind. The East Factory Supervisor interrupted him coldly: "I am investigating the case under the order of the Emperor. Do you want to stop me?"

Xiao Xuan's expression changed, "Father? Father..."

Why would my father send someone to check the Eastern Palace so late at night?

The head of the East Depot did not even look at him and went straight inside.

"How dare you!" Xiao Xuan was completely furious. "Do you dogs know what this place is?"

The black and gold dragon robe of the East Factory Supervisor had a strong sense of oppression in the night. He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "This is your Highness's East Palace. Since we are here, we are naturally investigating your East Palace!"

Sheng Surou didn't react to what was happening until the guards who had rushed into the bedroom retreated again.

She was wearing a robe and her face was as pale as paper with fear. She was a delicate girl who had been raised in a secluded place since childhood. Even though she was the Crown Princess, she had never seen such a scene.

These people from the East Factory...are really stubborn.

The bedroom was in a mess, as if it had been looted.

Every corner was turned upside down; drawers, bed curtains and bedding were torn off and thrown everywhere.

They searched all possible hiding places for the item but found nothing.

The prince's face became increasingly gloomy, and his cold eyes shot towards Sheng Surou like sharp arrows: "What on earth did you do?"

The East Factory’s tough attitude gave Xiao Xuan a bad feeling.

His political intuition over the years told him that this was anything but ordinary.

Sheng Surou widened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her blankly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows nothing!"

"Your Highness, are you doubting me?"

At this moment, the maid ran in anxiously and reported: "Your Highness, they went to Wan Liangdi's place. Wan Liangdi is advanced in pregnancy and is very heavy. Please do not scare her!"

Xiao Xuan frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He looked at Sheng Surou deeply, then turned and walked towards Guanju Palace.

“Crown Princess, what is going on?” the maid said in panic.

Sheng Surou seemed relatively calm. She calmed herself down and vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Her right eyelid twitched. "Let's go and take a look."

Wanniang looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

Suddenly, a group of uninvited guests broke into the house.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace so late at night? Where do you think of my reputation!" she shouted angrily.

Then, holding his heavy stomach, he struggled to get up from the bed. Before he could even put on his clothes, the group of men in black put a knife to his neck.

The men in black pulled out the dazzling robe, and her belly couldn't help but tighten and harden.

That was...that was the gift she carefully prepared, a gift she embroidered specially for her father's sixtieth birthday.

It was clearly embroidered piece by piece by her own hands, but now it has been pieced together to become a complete piece of clothing.

The dry branches that were originally stretching towards the sky have now vividly transformed into dragon claws, and with the auspicious clouds, they are even more lifelike.

And the glaring eyes, the scales...

All of this seemed to turn into illusory images, jumping and burning, becoming a heart-pounding ball of light in the dark night.

Finally, a golden dragon flew out from the light.

She actually embroidered an unfinished dragon robe!

Wanniang fell to the ground in shock, unable to accept the fact before her.

I don't know when the rain started and it kept falling. The surface of the lotus pond was covered with mist.

Xiao Xuan rushed over, and the shining dragon robe on the ground was particularly eye-catching in the rainy night.

He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to rush over, he was held back by the guards, "Your Highness, please stay."

"Wan Niang! Wan Niang, what's going on?" he shouted to her.

Wanniang raised her head as if waking up from a dream, "Your Highness, I, I didn't, I don't know..."

The Crown Princess also saw all this and was no less surprised than Xiao Xuan.

Aunt Wang, who always comes to ask for money... every time she comes, she carries a lot of bags with her...

Because of her status, self-respect, and her desire to compete with her concubines, she did not delve into the matter.

If Wang had been stopped at the beginning...

Chen Liang, the supervisor of the East Factory, picked up the dragon robe on the ground and asked coldly, "Did you embroider it?"

How could a woman resist the pressure brought by the ruthless eunuchs of the Eastern Depot? Wanniang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she trembled like a sieve. She nodded and shook her head.

Chen Liang's face was cold and pale, his eyebrows were very light, and he stood calmly in the rain, directing his men to wrap up the unfinished dragon robe, and then went up to support Wan Liangdi who was lying limp on the ground.

Sheng Surou seemed to see the butcher knife of fate chopping down at the East Palace, wanting to reap every life here.

This is a privately made dragon robe!

Her husband, son, and even her own family, the Sheng family, and the Prime Minister's Wang family, will all be annihilated in this catastrophe.

Wang Wan's background is questionable, and it is still unknown whether she is Prime Minister Wang's biological daughter. When the Eastern Depot took her away, Prime Minister Wang could easily deny the relationship and deny her.

At that time, the privately made dragon robe will still fall on the head of the Eastern Palace.

Sheng Surou looked at Xiao Xuan, and there seemed to be an echo in her mind:

[Su Rou, although I am the eldest son of the emperor, he does not like me. He likes my second brother, his legitimate son. It would be a pity for you to marry me.]

[Everything I do for Dazhao is not for my father to see, but because I want to do it. ]

[If I don't come back from the northern border, you don't have to be a widow for me, you can remarry. ]

[Su Rou, you are not the Crown Princess, you are my wife. ]

Before the East Factory Supervisor could speak, the Crown Princess suddenly took a half step forward and said slowly, "Supervisor, it was me who made the dragon robe privately."

"This bitch fights with me on everything. This dragon robe was embroidered by me as a gift for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know where it went a few days ago. It turned out to be with this bitch!"

"Do you think you can win His Highness's favor by this?!" Sheng Surou screamed at Wan Niang.

Wanniang was stunned, and Crown Prince Xiao Xuan stared straight at the Crown Princess.

The chief of the East Depot raised his hand to signal the guards to put the pregnant woman down, and then looked at the Crown Princess in front of them with great interest.

Sheng Surou knelt on the ground and bowed her head, saying, "It was this bitch who was competing with me for favor. I was blinded by greed and thought of using this to win favor. It was my fault that I was jealous of the concubine. Please report this to my father and clear the name of the crown prince."

The eldest daughter of the Sheng family, dignified and graceful, was now kneeling in front of a eunuch with tears streaming down her face.

The eunuch felt a strange sense of pleasure in his heart.

"We will report this to His Majesty right away," said Chen Liang.
