"Father, how could I do such a thing? Besides, I have no grudge against Concubine Li's maid, so how could I attack her?"

Xiao Lusheng knelt on one knee and explained to the emperor.

The emperor took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Juanling, "The prince said it's none of his business."

Li Juanling looked at the emperor with eyes that seemed like he wanted to eat her. She felt guilty and scared.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly trembled, and his aura changed a lot. Li Juanling said tentatively: "Then, how did the purse of the prince be found next to Cuizhu? Your Highness, can you explain it?"

"I just said that this was taken from me by the eunuch beside you."

Li Fu knelt down without even getting up, and kowtowed, saying, "Oh, Your Highness, you have wronged me. How dare I do that?"

Anyway, no one can produce any evidence.

The emperor was furious and said, "Prince, you can't even take care of your own things. This is your fault!"

Xiao Lusheng really felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him from the sky, making him dizzy. How could his father say such words to him?

He looked at his father, his lips moving, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, poor Cuizhu died so tragically." Li Juanling held a handkerchief and cried.

The Shangshu Ling at the side stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. How could he lay hands on a maid? Please calm down, Your Majesty."

"Get lost! The court has kept you useless people!" The emperor's hands and feet seemed to be out of control. He pulled Li Juanling up and said, "Let's go back to the palace and have some mutton soup."

Li Juanling smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Lusheng provocatively. The show was about to begin.

A palace maid really cannot make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pay any price. All they want is the Emperor's attitude.

It is now clear that the emperor is on their side.

There is still a lot of time, so eat your meal bite by bite, otherwise you will easily burn your mouth.

Li Juanling and the emperor didn't know who was supporting whom. Before leaving, the emperor looked back at Xiao Lusheng and said to the ministers on the ground: "The crown prince is the regent, and you also have the responsibility to assist him. Don't bother me if you don't have anything to do in the future."

"emperor……"

The emperor didn't care what was happening behind him. He gritted his teeth and persisted until the gate of Minghua Palace was closed. Then he was shaking all over and pulled Li Juanling, "Mutton soup, mutton soup."

Li Juanling frowned and lowered her body to look at the emperor squatting on the ground, "Your Majesty, why didn't you punish the prince just now? Isn't the emperor guilty of the same crime as the common people?"

The emperor raised his head and looked at Li Juanling, "You, you are so bold, how dare you talk to me like that?"

"I dare not, but Your Majesty, do you not want to eat mutton soup?"

"Yes, give it to me quickly."

Li Juanling dodged the emperor's outstretched hand and said coldly, "Then Your Majesty, please don't scare me like this in the future. I'm afraid."

"Okay, I'll listen to you from now on."

"Then you should issue an order now to remove Xiao Lusheng from his position as Crown Prince, or remove his power as Regent."

The emperor's eyes widened, "You, you..."

Xiu Yi, who was standing by, could no longer bear to watch, and hurriedly helped the emperor to sit up, "Empress Li, how dare you boss the emperor around?"

Li Juanling snorted coldly. Xiao Yu had already come out with several guards and surrounded the emperor and Xiu Yi.

The two people sneered unscrupulously.

Xiao Yu said to Xiu Yi: "Manager Xiu, watch your mouth and your eyes, otherwise, you may not see the sun tomorrow."

What else does Xiuyi dare to say?

He still has a mission to complete, and nothing can go wrong at this time.

"But, but the emperor is the emperor after all."

Xiao Yu sneered, "Your Majesty just needs to be obedient, and he will have whatever he wants to eat." He then ordered someone to send the emperor to the side hall of Minghua Palace.

"Mutton soup, my mutton soup."

Li Juanling said unhappily, "Don't make a fuss. I'll have someone bring it to you later."

The emperor was held up by someone and Xiu Yi was protecting him. From then on, he was under house arrest in the Minghua Palace.

Li Juanling wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and said, "I was scared to death just now."

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Yu embraced the beauty, "The entire Imperial Guard is under my control. When the child is born safely, Xiao Lusheng and others will have no choice but to die."

"What if the emperor drinks the mutton soup and becomes energetic again, and turns around to suppress us?"

"Can he walk out of the side hall now? He drank mutton soup today. If he dares not to obey, can he still drink it tomorrow?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I have to go back to the Pingxi Palace. My father is probably still in the dark. I need to ask him to gather all the ministers together as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Watching Xiao Yu leave, Li Juanling fell into the chair and secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Li Fu came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been properly settled."

Li Juanling looked at Li Fu, making Li Fu break out in a cold sweat.

"Li Fu, you and I are from the same family, and we are both unfortunate people." Li Juanling said.

Li Fu nodded, but still looked at Li Juanling in confusion.

Li Juanling saw that there was no one around and waved to him. Li Fu hurried over and knelt in front of Li Juanling, "My lady, did I do something wrong?"

"No, you are very good and I like you very much, but..."

"But what?"

"Li Fu, I want to ask you, are you sincere to me?" Li Juanling asked bluntly.

Li Fu nodded, "Of course, of course."

"Well, Prince Xiao Yu already knows about you and me. If this happens in the future, he will never tolerate you."

"what……"

Li Fu was so frightened that he was at a loss for words. "This, this servant's loyalty to the Majesty is evident to all heaven and earth. This servant is to the Majesty..."

"Don't be anxious. I know you are loyal. What's more, I can't stand Xiao Yu. If he hadn't forcibly taken me away, how could I have gotten pregnant with his child?" Juan Ling said half-truthfully.

The child is Xiao Zhiyue's, and she will not tell this secret to anyone else.

"He is really hateful." Li Fu felt a chill when he thought of the look Xiao Yu gave him.

"It doesn't matter. You and I are the ones who prosper together and suffer together, right?"

Li Fu patted his chest and assured, "Of course, I will always be your servant."

"Well, for your future survival, and for my future survival, go find Deputy Commander Xiao Zhiyue."

Li Fu nodded, "Yes, I will go find him right away."

Li Juanling grabbed Li Fu and said, "I have told you all the secrets. You and I are on the same boat. If Xiao Yu finds out, we will both die."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be yours whether I live or die." Li Fu knew very well what kind of person Li Juanling was.

She wanted to find Xiao Zhiyue, there must be something going on between the two of them.

It’s just unexpected that Li Juanling is not satisfied with having Xiao Yu, and actually wants Xiao Zhiyue.
