Xie Shang listened and quickly realized that Xie Yu was not going for the Queen and Nanny Xi, the two middle-aged women, but for the beautiful Jiang Fenghua.

However, Jiang Fenghua had never seen Xie Yu, let alone knew him. How did he know that Jiang Fenghua lived in Chenxi Palace, unless someone wanted to harm Jiang Fenghua and did it on purpose.

Xie Yu was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy. The emperor stepped forward and kicked him, "You evil son, why did you run to the Chenxi Palace? If you don't tell the truth today, I will kill you."

Xie Yu was so scared that he was shaking all over. "I have never seen the Princess of Heng. I just heard that she is beautiful, so I came to see her. I really have no other thoughts. I just came to admire her. Jiang Fenghua is the wife of the Prince of Heng. Even if I have the intention to do something bad, I don't have the courage to do it. Father, please spare me. I really just came to take a look."

The crime seemed much less serious than what he had committed, so he refused to give any evidence.

At this time, the queen had already dressed neatly and walked up to him majestically. "What are you going to watch? You came here uninvited and quietly pushed open the door to barge in. You bastard, if I wasn't here today, what else would you want to do besides watching? Who ordered you to come? Tell the truth, otherwise I will not forgive you."

The Queen had long known that Concubine Su had sent people to keep an eye on Jiang Fenghua. Now that this had happened, she guessed that the person behind the scenes was Concubine Su. If she could use this incident to deal with Concubine Su, why not do it?

"I heard the palace maids say that Princess Heng was as beautiful as a fairy, so I came to see her out of curiosity."

"Which palace maid is this?" Xie Shang grabbed his collar and wanted to punch him again, "I want to see how you can make up this matter today."

Xie Yu and Xie Shang had never gotten along well, and now that he was beaten up like this, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Xie Shang, "How would I know who that palace maid was? I just happened to hear her on the road..."

"Father, I will get to the bottom of today's incident, whether it's for my mother or for the princess." Xie Shang knelt down to the emperor.

The Queen was still furious. "Shang'er, you must find out who is behind this. I also want to see who dares to do evil in this harem."

At this point, the emperor also realized that Prince Yu did not run to the Chenxi Palace intentionally, but was led here by someone.

The emperor said, "General Manager Cao, immediately assist Prince Heng to investigate this matter."

Soon, the maid who followed Jiang Fenghua was caught. She refused to admit it and said, "I have never talked about the princess. I am innocent."

Xie Yu had no idea what the maid looked like, so he naturally said to himself in order to avoid the blame, "She and a bunch of maids spread rumors about how beautiful Princess Heng was, how beautiful she was like a fairy, and how she was one of the rare beauties in the world. I was curious and came to see her."

General Cao said, "Your Majesty, this maid is Xiaoju, who serves the Imperial Concubine. I will find out who she was with today."

The palace maid followed Jiang Fenghua the whole day today. Even if she didn't spread the rumors, she was trembling with fear.

Xie Shang said, "As long as we follow the clues, we will always find clues. Who is lying? Is it Prince Yu who is misbehaving, or is he just bold and treacherous? I will definitely find out."

The emperor said to General Cao, "Go and call Concubine Su over for questioning."

Imperial Concubine Su came over gracefully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."

The Queen hated Concubine Su as soon as she saw her face. She directly convicted Concubine Su, "Su Qingqing, you did a good thing. Only you can instruct the prince to do such a dirty thing..."

Imperial Concubine Su knelt on the ground delicately, kowtowed and cried out for justice, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I did not instruct the prince to do anything dirty!"

"Is this palace maid from your palace? You sent her to follow Princess Heng for a whole day. What do you want to do? Do you want to ruin the reputation of Princess Heng?" When Queen Cheng said this, it immediately revealed that she had known for a long time that someone was following Jiang Fenghua.

The emperor looked at her and asked, "What's going on?"

The Queen secretly hated herself for being so impatient and spoke too quickly, so she said, "Your Majesty, this is what happened. When Fenghua went to the ancestral temple to copy scriptures, I was afraid that she didn't know the way, so I asked Nanny Xi to send someone to follow and take care of her. They also accidentally discovered that someone was following Princess Heng, and I was afraid that she would be scared, so I didn't tell her. Who would have thought that Xie Yu suddenly broke into the Chenxi Palace at night? I then thought about whether what happened during the day was related to this matter. The person who followed Fenghua was someone from Concubine Su's palace, so I guessed that Concubine Su asked the palace maids to guide Prince Yu to plot against Fenghua. Such a vicious heart, Su Qingqing, you are also capable of doing it."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Concubine Su again, "What are the people in your palace doing with Princess Heng?"

Concubine Su looked aggrieved, as if she had been wronged. "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I really did not ask the maid to follow Princess Heng, and I have no idea what happened. I also did not ask the maid to guide Prince Yu to do anything to Princess Heng. Please investigate.

Princess Heng knew that she was beautiful, and she should have behaved herself after entering the palace. She ran around everywhere, and it was normal for the palace maids to see her and talk about her. It was Prince Yu who heard it and couldn't control himself. This matter really has nothing to do with me!"

The life of the palace maid is in the hands of Concubine Su. She would rather die than tell Concubine Su that it was she who ordered her to go.

"Can you please speak more normally, you vixen?" The Queen was furious with her. "You want to ruin Fenghua's reputation, make her despised by Shang'er, and then replace her with your niece Su Tingwan as the Princess of Heng. You let your niece seduce my son before, and now you want her to deal with Shang'er's Princess. Only you, Su Qingqing, can do such a thing, and that's why you do this."

Queen Cheng started to complain again, which was also her stupidest point.

Speaking of Su Tingwan, Xie Shang was also dumbfounded. It turned out that Concubine Su had this idea. She wanted to destroy Jiang Fenghua and let Wanwan take his place, so she used Xie Yu.

He believed that Wanwan would never do such a vicious thing. Wanwan grew up in the frontier since she was a child. Although she did not understand the etiquette of the nobles in Shengjing City, she was just generous and he still trusted her character.

This matter is related to Concubine Su and has absolutely nothing to do with Wanwan.

Jiang Fenghua frowned, feeling that she had met a stupid teammate named Cheng Queen, so she should take over the show!

"I shouldn't have let Eunuch Wuxin take me to the ancestral temple to copy scriptures. The palace maids saw my appearance and made them talk about it." Jiang Fenghua snuggled in Xie Shang's arms and whispered, "My lord, am I wrong again?"

Looking at the innocent Jiang Fenghua, she was obviously the one who was framed. Now, because of her beauty, Xie Yu was thinking about her and the palace maids were talking about her. How could she be wrong? It was these people who had evil intentions.

He quietly held Jiang Fenghua's hand, only to feel that her palms were full of sweat and she seemed to be trembling slightly, as if she was afraid.

He looked at Concubine Su deeply, with a deep coldness in his eyes. He thought that Concubine Su had sent a capable general to Su Tingwan to help her with advice, and she had sent people to follow Jiang Fenghua when he entered the palace. If it weren't for the Queen Mother and Nanny Xi who were all in Chenxi Palace today.

Judging from Xie Yu's character, no matter what happens, I'm afraid that when he sees Jiang Fenghua again, there may only be a corpse, and that would be exactly what Concubine Su wanted.
