"Your servant. Your servant doesn't know what Eldest Miss is talking about. Your servant and Fourth Prince aren't acquainted. Your servant is only a palace maid." Fangyu's mind quickly thought of a way to escape, and she stuttered.

"Is that so?" Lian Ruyue's face revealed a meaningful smile, suddenly she pinched Fang Yu's left hand and said, "The scar on your hand was cut by a knife to save His Highness the 4th Prince, am I right?"

Fang You was shocked. Such a secretive matter, how did this young miss know about it?

"Hmph." Lian Rou Yue coldly snorted. Her eyes that were as deep as an ice cellar looked at her and threw her hand away as she said, "If you don't want to say it, then I have a way to make you speak. If you don't want to walk a path of death, then I will grant you that wish."

With that, Lian Xiyue walked to the front of Imperial Concubine Liang and asked for instructions, "Empress, please ask for the location of Su Fangyu's residence."

Imperial Concubine Liang nodded her head and immediately sent someone she trusted to search. A moment later, all of Fang You's belongings were thrown on the ground.

The ground was littered with ordinary daily necessities. There was nothing suspicious at all.

"Esteemed Empress, Eldest Young Miss really wronged this servant. This servant is completely loyal to the Empress and Your Highness, how could this servant …" Yingyu cried as she spoke up for herself.

Lian Fu Yue squatted down and took out a plain looking small bag. She asked, "What is this?"

Fang Yingyu glanced at it and said, "This is, this is an ordinary small bag. I usually use it to store things."

"From where?" Lian Ruyue continued to ask, aggressive and unrelenting.

"That's right, I usually pick the material the Empress doesn't want to make as she pleases." Fang Yingyu said.

"You're lying!" Lian Ruyue threw the bag onto Fang Yingyu's body and said, "This coarse material clearly isn't the material from the Empress' palace. This needlepoint isn't the arm of a palace maid that has been by the Empress' side for many years."

"Fangyu, I've always treated you well. Why are you lying? What exactly did you do behind my back?" Imperial Consort Liang also saw that Fang Yu was lying.

"Your servant …" She had pretended to be fine for four years at the Lin Hua Palace, so how could the young miss, who had only seen her once, be able to see through her!

"No need to waste time! "Men, use punishment." Feng Yunzheng had already lost his patience and said to Imperial Concubine Liang and Lian Xiyue:

"Mufei, Littlemoon, linked techniques, if you leave your seats for too long you might arouse suspicion. Go back to the Primordial Imperial Hall first, leave this place to me."

"Your Highness is right. Empress, let's go first. We'll leave this place to Your Highness." Lian Ruyue nodded and said.

The three of them walked out of the side chamber in different directions and returned to the Royal Palace one by one.

"Ru Yue, where did you and the manual go? "Come quickly." Liu Xi looked around and finally saw Lian Fu and Lian Ruyue walking in together, so he quickly said.

Lian Ru Yue felt the scrutinizing gaze from the back of her head. An undetectable coldness flashed in the corner of her eyes. With a pained expression, she said:

"I drank the wrong wine when I was drinking tea with you. Now, my head is dizzy." Her body indeed emitted the scent of alcohol.

"Ah, then have another cup of tea and wake up the bar." Liu Xi Ren hurried to support her, she looked a little drunk and staggered a little, leaning on Liu Xi Man's body, her eyes slightly squinted.

Feng Qian looked at her from afar. With her slightly tipsy expression, her face was flushed red and her gaze was hazy. Her ice-cold face also revealed a sense of delicateness, as if she was becoming more and more beautiful.

He picked up the wine in front of him and gulped it down.

When Lian Ru Yue's mother sensed that Lian Ru Yue was not feeling well, she sent a palace maid from behind to inquire about it. Lian Ru Yue asked the palace maid to tell her that it was only slightly unwell. Grandmother, please be at ease.

At this moment, the birthday banquet was slowly coming to an end and the emperor was slightly tipsy. A few emperors had already left with the emperor, returning to their respective palaces to rest.

"royal father! Unjustly accused! This son is completely loyal to royal father, and definitely does not have any ill intentions! "

"royal father! Save me! Save me! "

"royal father! Someone is trying to harm our son, your father! "

Suddenly, from an unknown place, cries for help broke the silence of the palace! Moreover, each sound was more miserable than the last. It sounded eerie and terrifying, causing one to feel a wave of panic in their heart.

Immediately, everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing and listened attentively to where the sound was coming from.

Who would dare to cause such a ruckus in the Imperial Palace's inner courtyard? [Are you sure you don't want to die?]

"Hua …" Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in, extinguishing the candle flame inside the hall. The hall suddenly turned dark.

"Could, could it be a ghost?" Liu Xi Ren asked with a trembling voice as he tightly held onto Lian Ru Yue's hand.

"No, don't be afraid!" Lian Ruyue's sharp gaze looked in the direction of Feng Qianyue, only to discover that there was no one there.

In the blink of an eye, where did he go?

"royal father! royal father! Save Ming'er, royal father! " This time the voice was clearer.

He did not know who was it, but he shouted — —

"Eastern Palace!" The voice came from the East Palace! It's the voice of the crippled crown prince, your majesty! "

What? The empress was so frightened that she slid down from the phoenix chair with a frightened look on her face.

Tomorrow, her Ming'er, what just happened?

"royal father! The Heavens and the Earth were witnesses, the sun and the moon could be seen! this son of mine is loyal and devoted to royal father! "

The Emperor abruptly stood up and forcefully pushed away the wine cup in front of him with a face full of rage! The empress dowager's birthday, the crippled crown prince actually dared to put on an act!

The candlelight was reignited and the hall was once again lit up, illuminating the Emperor's gloomy face.

Xiao Zhenhai knelt on the ground and said, "Your majesty, please calm your anger. Since the crippled crown prince imprisoned the Eastern Palace, he has always been obedient. Tonight, the Eastern Palace has suddenly acted abnormally. I'm afraid there's a reason!"

At the same time, the empress who didn't understand what she meant also knelt on the ground and tugged at the emperor's dragon robe. "Your majesty, General Xiao is right. It's really strange that something happened tomorrow. Please don't be angry, your majesty!"

Lian Yan Qing's sharp eyes stared at Xiao Zhen Hai. He tried to find some flaws on Xiao Zhen Hai's face, but Xiao Yan's face was completely unblemished.

"Everyone, follow me to the East Palace to investigate!" The emperor walked quickly in the direction of the East Palace with a tense expression. The empress hurried to keep up with him while the others followed closely behind.

"Yi'er, don't run around. Stay by father's side." As the prime minister of the imperial court, he also keenly smelled a trace of something unusual. Tonight, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to return to his residence on time!

The closer they got to the Eastern Palace, the clearer the cries of grievances became. It was like a hoarse crow's cry, causing everyone's heart to tremble.
