After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

The emperor heard this and asked, "Did anyone see the fifth prince at dinner time?"

The purple-clothed man raised his lips slightly, looking very pleased with himself.

Liang Jiuan felt a chill in his heart, and was called out by an eunuch, who said that the Seventh Prince had something to ask him. When he arrived at the edge of the forest, he waited for a long time but did not see his Seventh Prince. When he came back, the assassination had already happened, and there was no one with him, so there was no one to prove it for him.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a clear female voice coming from the crowd. Liu Yuefu walked out of the crowd with confidence, "I can prove that Your Highness has been treating my mother recently. At dinner time, Your Highness asked someone to call me to the edge of the residence. He reminded me of some precautions for my mother's illness and asked about her condition."

Liang Jiuan was stunned. Did she recognize me? Why would she... help me?

The purple-clothed man was furious and shouted, "Do you know what the crime of perjury is?!"

Liu Yuefu smiled slightly and said firmly: "Every word I said is true. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

The emperor nodded. "In that case, pass on my order. The Fourth Prince has been rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 300 households for his service in saving the emperor. The Fifth Prince will have two days to find out the truth."

The purple-robed man and Liang Jiuan stepped forward together to express their gratitude: "Thank you, father, for your grace."

The emperor then said, "I am tired, let's all go."

Everyone said in unison: "We, the officials, respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"

After the emperor entered the tent, everyone dispersed.

Liang Jiuan was lying in the tent, and in his mind, the figure of Liu Yuefu, who stood out today, gradually overlapped with the figure of the little girl from the past.

"Sickly boy!" a short and fat little boy shouted loudly while pushing a pale and thin boy beside him.

"Dead face! And he looks like a sissy, so disgusting!" another skinny little boy said with disdain and reached out to pinch the boy's arm.

"It was your mother who stole the favor of my father from my mother, and made my mother so angry that she smashed many good things." Another slightly older boy, about seven or eight years old, lifted the boy's face with a fan and said calmly.

"Does your mother rely on your vixen face?" the boy humiliated him, "She is a natural born vixen. No wonder my mother said she is disgusting. You two hold her down!"

Upon hearing this, the two boys pressed the pale and thin boy against the palace wall.

The older boy stepped forward and ordered, "Xiao Yunzi, beat him! Except for the face. After all, no one can know."

A young eunuch of about the same age came out from behind him and whispered, "Master, this is the Fifth Prince. I dare not."

"Then do you dare to offend me?" the older boy asked back.

The young eunuch stepped forward viciously, and the two boys pushed the fifth prince to the ground. The young eunuch immediately started beating and kicking the little fifth prince.

The fifth prince was beaten but was too stubborn to say a word.

Not far away, at the corner of the red palace wall, a little girl accidentally walked in and saw a pale and thin child next to three children in gorgeous clothes who was being beaten by a little eunuch.

She suddenly had an idea and deliberately said loudly, "I just saw the emperor coming this way. He will be here soon. Let's go quickly. Don't disturb his majesty." After saying that, she retreated back into the red wall, deliberately making hurried footsteps.

The slightly older boy immediately said, "Stop, hurry up, let's retreat!"

Several people dispersed in a hurry.

After being severely beaten, the fifth prince's pale face became even paler. Father, father... is coming.

He tried hard to stand up, but was unable to do so for a while due to the pain.

But he saw a pair of white tender hands reaching out to him, "Don't be afraid, the emperor is not here, I just saw them bullying and cheating people!"

The fifth prince was pulled up by her.

"They have more people, I can't beat them." The little girl in a lilac dress said righteously with her hands on her hips.

When Liang Jiuan thought of this, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This was the first time he met Liu Yuefu.

Today she saved herself again.

Liu Yuefu, still Liu Yuefu after all.

On the other side, Liu Yuefu also returned to the tent. She lay on the bed and thought carefully. Today's incident must have been framed by someone. If she did not testify, Doctor An would probably be granted a title and then sent back to his fiefdom. This was actually not much different from exile. After all, in this case, he probably wouldn't be given a good place. Moreover, if Doctor An got into trouble, his mother's illness might have complications.

However, if he stood up for the Fifth Prince now, he might offend the person who plotted against the Fifth Prince behind the scenes, as well as the forces he had allied with.

However, it is always difficult to have everything at once, and it is also normal to be helpless.

Now that you have made the choice, there is no reason to back down.

For now, we have no choice but to help the Fifth Prince find out the truth so that we can get out of this predicament.

However, his actions today should have displeased Li Jianzhang. After all, the Fourth Prince was quite powerful in the court, while the Fifth Prince stayed away from the court and never asked about political affairs.

If this matter is not handled properly, it might implicate my father and brother.

As Liu Yuefu was thinking, she fell into a deep sleep.

Early in the morning, Li Jianzhang opened Liu Yuefu's tent and walked in, with a hint of spring between his brows.

"My dear, why didn't I see you when we were gathering at the emperor's place yesterday?" Liu Yuefu went straight to the point when she saw him. If she didn't want to be controlled by others, she had to attack first to avoid falling into a passive situation.

Liu Yuefu didn't see Li Jianzhang or Kang Miaoqing in the crowd last night. She thought the two of them must have gone out to meet in private.

Looking at Li Jianzhang's expression, it seems that this affair is progressing well.

Li Jianzhang replied vaguely: "Well... when the maid came to the tent, I happened to be going to the toilet and missed it."

"Oh?...So that's how it is." Liu Yuefu replied.

Li Jianzhang felt extremely excited when he recalled the secret meeting with Kang Miaoqing in the woods last night.

"We should not meet again. Although I...I love you. But I can't let Sister Yuefu down." Kang Miaoqing turned around and tried to leave. But Li Jianzhang hugged her from behind. "Miaoqing, I miss you so much. How could you bear to do this to me?"

What Li Jianzhang didn't see was the triumphant viciousness in Kang Miaoqing's eyes and the coldness on her face when he was hugging her.

"Li Sicheng, I'll return this jade pendant to you. I've thought about it for a long time. I can't do this. How can I be worthy of Sister Yuefu if I do this?"

"But we love each other, Sister Miaoqing." Li Jianzhang breathed into Kang Miaoqing's ear, "What would I do without you?"

"But you already have Sister Yuefu. Do you want me to marry you as your concubine? That's not possible!" Kang Miaoqing said in a tender voice, with a gleam in her eyes.

Li Jianzhang let go of Kang Miaoqing's hand, walked up to her, held her hands, and said, "Can you give me a moment?"

Kang Miaoqing nodded shyly, and the two embraced each other in the moonlight.

"I didn't see Miaoqing yesterday, and I don't know where this girl went." Liu Yuefu said, looking straight at Li Jianzhang's face.

Li Jianzhang came back to his senses when he heard Liu Yuefu's words.
