Ye Sisi was stunned. She looked at a group of old friends who were secretly laughing beside her. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit.

Wang Yin'er hurriedly helped to stand up: "You can't even walk? You want a man to hold you, are you trying to be stubborn?"

Wang Yinyi was also angry and said, "Why are you still so full of energy? Go back to the East Courtyard quickly, and don't die in my West Courtyard and bring bad luck."

Lin Wanwan sneered: "This princess thinks that you are the dying duck."

At this time, Ye Zhaobo happened to return home and entered the yard. Originally, he and Lin Wanwan had already kept their distance from each other.

Now she appeared in the West Courtyard with Ouyang Qingyu, who had just been appointed as the Minister of Works. Could it be that she brought Ouyang Qingyu to the West Courtyard to cause trouble and put the blame of the poisoning on the West Courtyard?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaobo strode into the yard and shouted, "What's going on?"

After so many things that happened, Nanny Li would no longer be intimidated by Ye Zhaobo. She stood firmly beside Lin Wanwan and watched the situation develop.

When Lin Wanwan heard Ye Zhaobo's voice, she did not turn around to look at him. Her eyes were as vast as smoke and waves, and her voice floated softly from her mouth: "Recently... has everyone been to the opera?"

As soon as these words came out, there was complete silence. Who among the noble ladies didn't know Liu Yiruo's plays? But no one dared to say no in front of Ye Zhaobo.

Ye Zhaobo glanced at everyone and felt that there was mockery in everyone's eyes. His face turned pale. The more he didn't understand, the uglier his expression became.

Ouyang Qingyu said, "I heard that it was the Imperial Censor who arranged it."

Ye Zhaobo was stunned: Are you making up a story about me? Then he reacted and became furious. Just as he was about to explode, he was interrupted by a bunch of noble ladies chattering:

The ladies all said with great relish: "Oh, it's just a story, but Liu Yiruo's singing skills are amazing!"

"His storybooks have long been popular in Kyoto!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Ye Zhaobo was even more shocked: What? They made up a story about me and spread it widely?

Ye Zhaobo couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Ouyang Qingyu, when did you become so close to the princess?"

Ouyang Qingyu said: "If the princess wants to subdue me, I will gladly do so."

After saying that, he carried Lin Wanwan and left the west courtyard.

The breeze blew gently, lifting a few strands of Lin Wanwan's hair, and Ouyang Qingyu's heart was tossed up and down along with the hair.

"The fish has taken the bait." Lin Wanwan said.

"Hmm." Ouyang Qingyu whispered softly: "Then... Princess, do you want to surrender me?"

Lin Wanwan said calmly: "What if you don't want to?"

"Qian Yu Shen Shen, Chang Le Wei Yang." Ouyang Qingyu looked forward with deep eyes, "Your Majesty and the nanny are talking about this poisoning..."

Lin Wanwan's expression turned cold and she said, "Someone from the West Courtyard did it."

"Oh... so, the poisoning of the imperial concubine and the heir was fake, and the princess just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Ouyang Qingyu continued, looking at her with a secretive look, "What a good plan, my princess."

Lin Wanwan paused for a moment: "You are very smart, Ouyang Qingyu."

Ouyang Qingyu smiled.

At this time, Su Ye hurriedly ran into the East Courtyard: "Princess, Princess, where are you?"

Ouyang Qingyu seemed not to have heard it and carried Lin Wanwan into the inner hall of the east courtyard.

Su Ye saw their backs and hurriedly followed them in.

In the inner hall, Hua Yu saw the princess coming back and stepped forward to greet her with a smile: "Princess, are you feeling better today?"

As soon as Su Ye saw the man in pink clothes, he could no longer walk.

He lowered his eyes and thought: Yes, that day at the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet, I didn't take the princess seriously at all, so I didn't look at Hua Yu seriously.

Ah Si, who was standing by, approached Su Ye and said, "Sir, he is so handsome."

Su Ye came back to his senses and knocked him on the head: "Shut up, don't be disloyal, say that I am handsome."

Upon hearing this, Ah Si cleared his throat and said, "Master Su Ye! You are so handsome..." Ah!

Su Ye quickly covered his mouth, then watched Ouyang Qingyu put Lin Wanwan on the chair. Seeing the two people beside the princess, he instantly felt a huge amount of pressure.

Ouyang Qingyu, who was standing on one side, was wearing a brocade official robe, with an upright posture, a handsome face, and confidence and wisdom between his eyebrows. He was the favorite of His Majesty and the dream lover of the noble ladies in Kyoto.

On the other side, Hua Yu was wearing pink gorgeous clothes, with a gentle and handsome face, like a beautiful painting. Her stunning appearance really made him feel inferior. Besides, he was a hostage of Yunhai Kingdom.

Su Ye scratched his head irritably: "Oh my God, the pressure is really, really, really great."

He rolled his eyes, smiled and stepped forward and said, "Princess, you see, my opponents are Ouyang Qingyu and Hua Yu.

I know very well that the pressure is too great and this is too difficult.

But Princess, no matter which one of them you decide to abandon, I will feel a little reluctant for you."

The three of them looked at Su Ye in unison: What is he talking about?

Lin Wanwan frowned and said calmly, "Why not abandon you?"

Su Ye grinned and said, “Princess, think about it, if you abandon Ouyang Qingyu, you will become famous in Kyoto City.

If Hua Yu was abandoned, Xuanyue Kingdom and Yunhai Kingdom might even fight over this matter.

There is no point in abandoning me. I can't even pass the imperial examination. I can't make any waves. Everything is calm and peaceful."

Lin Wanwan looked at Su Ye: "Didn't you exclude Zhang Zhirang a few days ago? Why are you talking about the two of them today?"

Su Ye said confidently: "Compared with that bumpkin Zhang Zhirang, the princess will definitely choose me, so I will take the lead."

Lin Wanwan said: "I choose Zhang Zhirang."

"No way, Princess." Su Ye stepped forward, "Why am I not good enough to compare to him?"

Lin Wanwan said: "He can do it, but you can't."

Su Ye frowned in shock: "No way, that country bumpkin looks honest, but he is actually so reserved?"

"He's not as coquettish as you." Lin Wanwan said, "He's smarter than you."

Hua Yu smiled gently and said, "Abandoning someone would not be a good reputation for the princess. How could the princess do that?"

Such a sweet voice. Su Ye felt the pressure again, and walked closer to Hua Yu and said, "You are so gentle to others, which is really not like a man. Do you have any hidden illness?"

Hua Yu raised her eyes to look at him and said gently, "It's not a hidden disease, I just have mysophobia."

Su Ye became interested when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "So is your obsession with cleanliness born with you, or is it because of something..."

"That's enough, Su Ye." Lin Wanwan interrupted him with a cold look in her eyes.

"Princess, it's okay." Hua Yu smiled instead, with a warm look on her face: "I only developed this obsession with cleanliness when I was six years old."

Seeing that Hua Yu was not annoyed, Lin Wanwan also wanted to know: "What happened when I was six years old?"

Hua Yu lowered his eyes and said slowly: "That night, I fell asleep in my mother's palace, and an elderly man secretly kissed me on the lips."

Lin Wanwan said: "And then?"

Hua Yu smiled sweetly: "Of course I woke up because I felt someone kissing me."

Su Ye hurriedly said: "Fortunately you woke up, otherwise you would be miserable. You must have been very cute when you were a child."

Hua Yu asked in confusion: "What's so miserable?"

Su Ye said: "If you don't wake up, the little flying stick will come~"

Lin Wanwan: ...

Ouyang Qingyu: ...

Hua Yu continued to laugh and said, "No, he was a eunuch, he didn't have a stick. However, he angered my mother, and was given poisoned wine and died.

Since then, my mother has asked me to cover my face."

Ouyang Qingyu looked at Lin Wanwan's face and saw that she was a little depressed, so he walked up to Su Ye:

"Since you are a nobody, how dare you break into the Princess's residence? I'll let Qin Jun take you to the Ministry of Justice for two days."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yu hurriedly dissuaded him, "Seeing that this young master is familiar with the princess, and has no ill intentions, you don't have to scare him."

Su Ye's eyes fell on Hua Yu, his voice was sweet and his temperament was gentle. What should I do if my opponent is too strong? !

……

Night shrouded the city of Kyoto, the moonlight was dim, and dark clouds floated by from time to time, blocking the only bit of light.

The west courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.

A servant hurried in and said in a panic, "Master, I checked and found that there is a play being performed in the theater outside. It is indeed choreographed for our Princess's Mansion."

Wang Yinyi took a sip of tea and asked, "Are you talking about Lin Wanwan's failure in the exam?"

The boy shook his head.

Ye Zhaobo listened with a serious expression: "Tell me, what is the content of the song!"

The servant replied tremblingly: "My lord, the play says that you... after the eldest princess passed away, you remarried and allowed your new wife and children to bully the eldest princess's legitimate daughter."

Ye Zhaobo was so angry that his face turned blue, and he cursed: "Maliciously slandering important officials in the court! Liu Yiruo is so bold!"

Wang Yinyi quickly put down the teacup and said angrily, "Master, we can't let that actor off easily!

How dare you make up stories about our family? Now everyone in Kyoto knows about it.

If it affects Sisi's chances of becoming the Crown Princess, then..."

Imperial Censor Ye Zhaobo held the teacup tightly in his hand with a gloomy face. With a "bang", he threw the teacup to the ground.

"Go and ask Zhao Tuo to come see me."

"Yes, sir." The servant stood up in response.

Soon, Zhao Tuo and a few of his trusted men stood aside, listening to Ye Zhaobo's orders with their heads down.

"All of you, go and destroy that Liqing Garden tonight and teach Liu Yiru a lesson!" Ye Zhaobo gritted his teeth and said, "Just keep him alive, don't kill him."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Zhao Tuo and his confidants quickly changed into night clothes, covered their faces, and ran towards Liqing Garden under the cover of night.

There was silence in Liqing Garden.

Everyone in the troupe had gone to bed, except for a few night watchmen who were dozing off in the garden.

Suddenly, a group of dark shadows climbed over the wall, holding sticks and looking very aggressive.

Zhao Tuo kicked open the gate of the garden. The night watchman was awakened by the loud noise. Before he could shout, he was knocked to the ground by Zhao Tuo's stick.

Others rushed into the rooms like hungry wolves, smashing everything they saw. Tables, chairs, benches, tea sets and vases were all broken into pieces in an instant, and the once peaceful Liqing Garden became a mess.

At this time, in the bedroom, Liu Yiruo was awakened by the noise outside.

Before he could react, the door was violently opened. Zhao Tuo rushed in with several of his cronies, dragged him off the bed, and clubs rained down on him.

The piercing pain spread instantly. Liu Yiruo curled up and let out a heart-wrenching wail:

"Ah! Stop it, please stop it!"

Liu Yiruo's voice was filled with pain and fear. The next second, someone covered her mouth, but the stick still fell mercilessly.

He tried to resist again, but to no avail.

His face and body were covered with scars, and his clothes were stained with blood.

"I told you not to talk too much! I told you not to sing nonsense!" Zhao Tuo cursed viciously while beating him.

After a while, Liu Yiruo was beaten to death and lay on the ground motionless.

Seeing that he had lost consciousness, Zhao Tuo stopped and quickly disappeared into the night.
