Jiang Wanyin's experience today can be described as thrilling. The fighting spirit and longing for the future that he had when he came were replaced by the uneasiness at this time.

Therefore, when she came back from the rockery, she had been sitting low-key and quietly behind Mrs. Ji, just wanting to go back quickly.

But even with such a low profile, she didn't expect that Sheng Yunzhao would still not let her go.

At this time, my hatred for Sheng Yunzhao deepened even more!

But now, in addition to showing weakness, she also hoped to gain Ji Xuan's pity and protection. She couldn't help but look at Ji Xuan with tearful eyes.

However, Ji Xuan couldn't bear to see Jiang Wanyin at this moment, but after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it was not appropriate to speak for her for the time being.

If he excused her at this time, it would be equivalent to confirming in public that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife in return for his lustful behavior.

He didn't care, but Duke Ji's mansion couldn't tolerate such a stain.

If he goes his own way, the punishment will be added to Beinger.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuan avoided Jiang Wanyin's sight. He would have wronged Wanyin this time. He believed that Wanyin would understand him...

Jiang Wanyin's hopes were shattered the moment Ji Xuan turned her head. She even seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking, and she burst into tears...

How could it be possible, how could he?

Her pretentious helplessness now turned into sadness that was pricked by needles.

She had the intention of taking advantage of Ji Xuan, but she was also a flesh-and-blood person. Ji Xuan was handsome and looked at her in a world of difference compared to Sheng Yunzhao, which made her feel superior but also moved her heart.

But he stood by and watched when she needed him...

At this moment, the prince suddenly said: "Prince Xuan has already said hello to me about this matter. Prince Xuan just brought her out to see the world. Is this such a trivial matter such a big fuss?"

After the prince said it, it didn't seem to be a big deal...

Besides, the prince still knows the inside story.

The prince thought it was nothing, but if they cared, it would seem a bit pretentious.

At that time, some people thought that Sheng Yunzhao was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"See the world?" Yue Chenyan held a jade cup in his hand and lazily raised his eyelids, "If it is according to what the prince said, there are many people who want to see the world, beggars on the streets, people in remote mountain villages, servants in the back house, horses. The grooms and other grooms all want to see the world, can they all come here at will?"

As soon as Yue Chenyan finished speaking, the scene that was originally buzzing with whispers fell into deathly silence.

They all looked at the Huainan King with shock or astonishment.

You know, King Huainan has a close relationship with Duke Ji's mansion, and many people subconsciously regard him as Duke Ji's son-in-law.

But at this time, he did not help Ji Guogong.

In addition, although he is young, he has developed a deep demeanor. He has never been a talkative person, and he has never spoken for anyone.

Not to mention who is being defended so blatantly.

And it’s so to the point!

Yes, wouldn't it be too casual if anyone could come to such an occasion?

Sheng Yunzhao never expected that Yue Chenyan would openly speak for him.

But she didn't look back at him, nor did she thank him.

Doesn't he know that speaking for him at this time is equivalent to being on his side, and will offend many people because of this?

But the person she least wants to owe is him...

After Ji Xuan heard Yue Chenyan's words, he turned around suddenly, his eyes full of evil.

However, Yue Chenyan just looked at the prince with eyes without warmth.

The entire court seemed calm, but in fact it was as if the world was divided into four parts.

The Queen Mother, the Emperor, Yue Chenyan and the neutral faction.

Yue Chenyan defended Sheng Yunzhao at this time, as if it was a secret signal.

It seemed that the wind suddenly blew, and the direction of the wind was Sheng Yunzhao.

Those officials who had been watching a show immediately began to criticize Duke Ji.

Seeing this, the people from the Queen Mother's faction also started rebuttal mode on the side of the Crown Prince.

The two sides immediately exchanged words at the seats under the steps, and their words were extremely sharp.

The person who was very particular at the beginning finished speaking, and the other person argued.

Then there was a two-on-two split, and gradually more and more people joined in, all trying to suppress the other party.

The sound got louder and louder, becoming a buzzing sound that made it impossible to hear a complete sentence.

For a moment, saliva was splashing all over the steps, and saliva was flying everywhere...

The female relatives had never seen such a battle before, let alone their husbands, fathers, and brothers, who were so eloquent and eloquent. They were all dumbfounded.

The Queen Mother listened to the fierce arguments below and criticized each other, and her whole body was shaking with anger.

Today is her birthday, and such an auspicious day has almost become an open court.

The prince's face was even more livid. He never thought that it would turn into such a mess just because of his words. He wanted to turn the table over.

But in front of the imperial grandmother and his father, he was still wary and did not dare to do anything outrageous.

The Queen Mother no longer wanted to hide her emotions, and stared at Sheng Yunzhao with sinister eyes.

At this time, Princess Baoqi, who was already blinded by jealousy, stood up suddenly and said in a sharp voice, "King Huainan, what benefits has Sheng Yunzhao given you? Why do you speak for Sheng Yunzhao like this?"

However, the high-pitched debate below overwhelmed Princess Baoqi's thin voice,

Princess Baoqi's words were only spoken by these people on the steps.

But Princess Baoqi asked the thoughts of those present, and they all looked at Yue Chenyan.

Yue Chenyan glanced at Princess Baoqi lazily and said, "Justice comes from the heart of the people. I just said something fair out of justice. Only those who harbor evil in their hearts will think of other people's actions as dirty."

Princess Baoqi was immediately speechless. If she said anything again, she would have a dirty mind.

She was momentarily embarrassed and wanted to say something with a red face, but was shocked by Yue Chenyan's cold gaze. She could guarantee that if she said one more word, what was waiting for her would be his colder and more ruthless words.

After all, Chenyan has always been kind to her.

The Queen Mother turned her head and glared sharply at Emperor Tai'an.

At this time, the emperor should speak up to stop the noise below and give her, the queen, a step down.

However, her good son pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if his mouth was sewn shut.

Emperor Tai'an saw his mother's gaze from the corner of his eye. He pretended not to notice it and lowered his head to drink. He felt that the wine tonight had a special taste.

Most of his recent gloomy mood suddenly dissipated. He raised his head and looked at Sheng Yunzhao, who was standing upright. His eyes were full of light, and he seemed to have a strange look.

It's a good thing that the daughter of the Sheng family came tonight. If possible, he wouldn't mind muddying the water a little more. If the queen mother and the King of Huainan faced off, then he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits.

Prince Rui, who was sitting next to the Yue Chen Banquet, looked at Duke Ji's Mansion and General Sheng's Mansion. His face became solemn, and he felt that something was going to happen.

But his identity is too sensitive. If you can't say it clearly, you will think that he is deliberately trying to win over you, or that he is taking sides, so it is not appropriate to say too much.

If things don't work out tonight, no one will be able to benefit from it.

Prince Rui put the wine cup to his lips and whispered: "Zi Chen, what do you think? How will this end now?"
