Xie Shang was stunned. He was very emotional, thinking about how Ruan Ruan had always supported him and planned for him. He was promoted from Prince Heng to Crown Prince, and Ruan Ruan had always supported him behind the scenes.

Ruan Ruan was married to him by his father, and this marriage was not what she wanted.

Before he could speak, Lin Yu continued, "I'll tell the emperor why we pretended not to know her, because I am a singer, and my godmother is a singer. To put it nicely, she is a singer, but to put it bluntly, she is a prostitute. Do you think my godmother's adopted daughter is still innocent?

But what about Jiang Fenghua? Her family is a scholarly family. Her father is a teacher who educates people. She is a lady from a well-read family. She is as dazzling as the bright moon.

People like us will only be despised by others. We have long been unclean. If people knew that Jiang Fenghua was friends with people like us, Your Majesty, you think she would be criticized. Public opinion and rumors would make her fall into an irretrievable situation. Having friends like us would be a disgrace to her in the eyes of those noble ladies. She has done us a favor, and we would not go and harm her without knowing what is good for her.

When the imperial edict of marriage was sent to the Jiang family, I believe the royal family must have investigated her innocent background before they were willing to marry her! After marrying her, the emperor allowed others to harm her. Which provision stipulated that if she protected herself from being harmed, she would be vicious and have ulterior motives? Did he have to let her stand and wait for death without resistance to prove that she was a kind woman in the emperor's heart?

Ha! This is really ridiculous. Doesn't the emperor still love another woman in his heart? Now you have snatched her away and locked her up in the palace, and you still ask her to be kind and pure. Can the emperor protect Jiang Fenghua, who is kind and pure? "

Lin Yu was in tears. He wanted to say that the kind-hearted Jiang Fenghua was killed by you personally, and the one who survived was just Jiang Fenghua who just wanted to survive.

Xie Shang was shocked. He had never thought about this before.

This is what Jiang Jinyan meant when he said Lin Yu had been protecting Jiang Fenghua. He said, "So she must get rid of the Su family for you..."

"That's right. She wanted to seek justice for women like me, like Tan Wanqing, and Madam Lin Shuang. She just wanted to be chivalrous and fight for justice, but she interfered with the relationship between the emperor and Su Tingwan for no reason, causing the Su family to want to kill her and her family. She is his majesty's first wife, and the emperor has never cared about these things." Wasn't the Jiang family killed by the Su family in the previous life?

Xie Shang's face turned purple and his eyes were as cold as steel. The Su family had indeed been planning for Su Tingwan.

"She is my benefactor. She saved me from danger and saved my life. So when I knew Su Xuan had not left Shengjing, I quietly rushed back. Ever since the explosion, I have been worried that someone would hurt her again. Sure enough, I encountered an assassination attempt in Hengyang. If she was killed because of my negligence, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Lin Yu couldn't stop crying and kowtowed to him respectfully. "Because Lin Yu's words today offended the emperor, Lin Yu is willing to be punished, even to death."

She said some of these things to Xie Shang. She didn't know how he would deal with it if Jiang Fenghua was really murdered. He must love Jiang Fenghua very much!

Xie Shang just felt lucky that Lin Yu had always protected her. He asked again, "Does Jiang Jinyan know about your relationship?"

"He doesn't know much." Jiang Jinyan indeed didn't know much. Even she didn't know why Jiang Fenghua was so stubborn in marrying Xie Shang even though she obviously didn't like him. Later, she finally found out that she was doing it to avenge her past life and to become the queen.

If Lin Yu hadn't accidentally overheard the conversation between Su Tingwan and Ji Chen, she might never have known it in her entire life.

Xie Shang was unable to calm down for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he just heard him say, "You can leave! Stay by Ruan Ruan's side and protect her."

Lin Yu was stunned, then cupped his hands again, "Yes."

Lin Yu came out of the private room and saw Jiang Jinyan standing by the door. She raised her eyebrows at Jiang Jinyan and a faint smile immediately appeared at the corner of her lips.

Jiang Jinyan stared at Lin Yu in amazement. Did this resolve Xie Shang's doubts? It must be said that Lin Yu's mouth was really powerful. She could even make a dead person come alive.

However, Jiang Jinyan always felt that Lin Yu had changed, and she became more protective of Ruan Ruan.

Lin Yu lied to Xie Shang. What Lin Yu meant was that she also escaped from the Su family's drinking and feasting, but Lin Yu sneaked in to investigate the Su family. Fortunately, those people were all dead, otherwise she would not be able to explain herself.

Although Concubine Su was alive, she had been living in Shengjing and had no idea about what was happening on the border.

Ruan Ruan and Lin Yu must be hiding something, but I don’t know if the emperor will really believe Ruan Ruan this time.

Jiang Jinyan slowly entered the private room and bowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive Lin Yu's disrespect. She actually has no bad intentions, but she is too protective of Ruan Ruan."

Xie Shang didn't care about Lin Yu's attitude. He asked in a deep voice, "How well do you know your sister?"

Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Nine out of ten! It's hard for men to guess what a girl is thinking."

Xie Shang said, "I just realized now that I don't understand her at all."

Jiang Jinyan's heart was beating fast. Could it be that the emperor still didn't believe in Ruan Ruan?

"Do I really love her?"

Jiang Jinyan was so scared that his soul almost left his body. What could he do if he didn't love her?

"Compared to Jiang Fenghua, I am indeed a failure. Now I understand why she kept saying that she wanted to open a girls' school so that women can study like men and hold up half the sky. I thought her idea was too fantastical. It turns out that she had these ideas a long time ago."

Jiang Jinyan was stunned and remained silent for the time being.

"No wonder Ruan Ruan was so concerned about me when I was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. She wanted to urge me at that time, hoping that I would do practical things for the people and be a good official." Xie Shang's eyes suddenly became red: "Jin Yan is right, Ruan Ruan likes me in her own way."

Jiang Jinyan said in a deep voice, "Ruan Ruan also hopes that I will be a good official."

For a moment, the two of them resonated with each other.

Xie Shang suddenly said, "I want to go to your grandparents' house to take a look. I want to get to know Ruan Ruan better and know how she grew up as a child. I want to love her well."

Jiang Jinyan thought to himself: Is the emperor going to Yu County?

"Now I have figured it out. Su Tingwan had a dream in which she became the queen. She was fanciful and shameless. Even the Su family wanted her to be the queen so much that she fabricated the story of the virtuous concubine to deliberately frame me. Fortunately, I did not listen to Su Xuan's lies and did something to hurt Ruan Ruan."

He clenched his fingers, "Su Qingqing dared to make up a story that Ruan Ruan seduced the monarch. Su Xuan can also make up a story that Ruan Ruan is not Jiang Fenghua to deliberately provoke the relationship between me and Ruan Ruan. Let people strictly investigate Su Qingqing's whereabouts and make sure to catch the remnants of the Su family."
