Princess Xie did not notice the tension between the two. She looked up and down at Chu Yunni's identity and attire.

Although I don't know her identity, I can be sure that she has a say in front of the Queen.

So she immediately changed her expression, greeted him with a smile and said, "My lady, I am the princess of the Xie family. I came here to see the queen, but was stopped outside by these ignorant servants. That's why I had some disputes with them. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. Please let the queen know."

"It turns out to be Princess Xie. Please forgive my poor eyesight for not recognizing you. How rude of me." Chu Yunni bowed slightly and said polite words.

Princess Xie smiled widely, not showing any sign of having just quarreled with the palace maid, and her attitude was extremely humble.

However, Chu Yunni suddenly changed the subject and said, "Princess Xie and I hit it off right away. I will lend a hand if I can, but the palace rules cannot be abolished. No matter who enters the Queen's bedroom, they must be searched. There is nothing I can do about it."

Princess Xie was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Another body search?

Hadn't they searched the palace when they first entered? Why did they have to search it again? There weren't so many rules when they entered the palace to pay respects to the Empress before.

Nan Yuan also found it strange. The last time she entered the palace to meet the Queen, she was brought in directly in a carriage by the head nanny, and there was no body search as per the rule.

Could it be that Chu Yunni was deliberately making things difficult for me?

But what's the point of making things difficult?

At most it would just delay their time on their way to an audience with the Queen.

Nan Yuan had a bad feeling in her heart.

She had a hunch that Chu Yunni's move was definitely not simple, as if there was a big conspiracy waiting for her.

Nan Yuan frowned and wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Chu Yunni.

"I didn't set the rules of this palace. Even if you are not satisfied, you don't have to come to me to talk about it. I am just doing things according to the rules. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"

Chu Yunni's voice was cold, and her words were blunt: "If you don't have anything hidden on you, I will search you. It's just a procedure. You are so secretive. Could it be that you really have something shameful hidden on you?"

Princess Xie's face turned pale, but she still smiled and said, "This girl really loves to joke. How could I embarrass you? As for hiding something that shouldn't be on you, that's even more ridiculous."

Princess Xie patted Nan Yuan's hand and said, "We will search you, we won't make it difficult for you, just follow the rules."

After hearing this, Chu Yunni winked at the people around her.

The palace maid behind her took a step forward and walked towards Princess Xie and others.

Princess Xie was secretly annoyed, but she still smiled on the surface.

She came to the palace for an important matter this time. She had to see the Queen Mother and asked Nan Yuan to say a few good words for Luo Chen in front of the Queen Mother so that she could bring Luo Chen back from outside. She was afraid that Luo Chen would not be able to adapt to this remote and poor place outside.

Nan Yuan was worried. Although she knew that she and Princess Xie definitely didn't have anything that shouldn't be carried, she was still afraid that they might do something.

By then, they won’t be able to tell whether it belongs to them or not just by their mouths.

The palace maid searched Nan Yuan's body but found nothing.

Nan Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She must have been worrying too much. There were just a few more rules in the palace recently.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw a little palace maid taking out a little man from Princess Xie's body.

"This……"

Her face changed drastically and she brought the little man in front of Chu Yunni.

Chu Yunni glanced at him and sternly scolded him, "How dare you practice witchcraft in the palace!"

Princess Xie was frightened at this time, and quickly explained: "This is not my thing. Someone must have put it on me when I wasn't paying attention."

Princess Xie was shocked, and looking at Chu Yunni's disbelieving expression, she frantically explained: "I really don't know where this came from."

Chu Yunni looked at Princess Xie with a gloomy look and said, "Princess Xie, are you feeling guilty?"

Princess Xie's eyes widened, and she suddenly remembered something and shouted, "You framed me."

Chu Yunni continued to press her: "Framed? Why do you say that, Princess Xie? This thing was found on you, and so many people and so many eyes saw it. How can it be that I framed you?"

"Besides, you said I framed you, but we didn't have any physical contact. How could I have put this thing on you? Princess Xie, please don't spit blood on me!"

Chu Yunni took the little man in her hand and looked at him repeatedly. Suddenly, she seemed to see something terrible. She shouted with a distorted face, "How dare you use witchcraft on the queen? How many lives do you have to do such a thing?"

"Someone, take them down!"

As soon as Chu Yunni gave an order, several palace maids immediately came together to hold Princess Xie and Nan Yuan down.

Queen?

Princess Xie was shocked. If he was just an ordinary villain, it would be fine. But if he was related to the Queen, then the person who framed her wanted to torture her to death!

"You are talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that this villain is the Queen?"

Princess Xie was already talking without thinking, and Nan Yuan couldn't stop her.

Chu Yunni's eyes revealed a triumphant smile, and she said, "So, you admit that you were the one who did this?"

“I…” Princess Xie’s face turned pale, and she didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

At this moment, Nan Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of Princess Xie, saying, "Chu Yunni, Princess Xie is just a woman, she can't possibly know any witchcraft. This is obviously a frame-up. You haven't investigated the matter clearly yet, but you are so aggressive. Aren't you afraid that the Queen will punish you for doing this?"

Seeing Nan Yuan standing up, Chu Yunni did not get angry, but smiled faintly: "Why would the Queen punish me? I handled this matter conscientiously and responsibly, without any personal grudges involved."

"You always say that I am framing you. What a big accusation!"

Chu Yunni walked down the steps, walked in front of Nan Yuan, and whispered in her ear: "You should know better than me whether I am framing her or not. It is impossible for her to know any witchcraft, but this thing was found on her. What do you think we should do?"

After these words came out, Nan Yuan was so angry that she trembled all over.

She clearly understood that Chu Yunni did this just to vent her anger. She just couldn't stand her, and this witchcraft was also aimed at her. Princess Xie was just suffering from an unprovoked disaster.

Nan Yuan took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said, "No matter what the truth of this matter is, there are people to deal with it. It is not your turn to impose lynching. This is in the palace, not in your backyard."

Nan Yuan struggled to break free from the maid's restraints and said, "I want to see the Queen."

Chu Yunni sneered: "Empress, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of seeing the Empress?"

"Someone, lock them both up and wait for the Queen's decision." After Chu Yunni gave the order, she turned and left.

Princess Xie was so angry that she was shaking all over and shouted, "You can't do this to me. I am Princess Xie, not your prisoner."

Chu Yunni paused and ordered the people beside her, "Shut her mouth and don't let her disturb the Queen's peace."

Princess Xie struggled desperately, but her body was clamped tightly and she couldn't move at all. She could only watch her mouth being blocked and could only whimper.
