The maid also knelt on the ground and cried her heart out. Looking at how they were, it was as if they wished they could dig out that confession. Hearing what they said, Xi Mengyao felt that these people were probably stupid.

This maid girl could think of anything to throw dirty water on her, so Xi Mengyao yawned as she listened.

She was the only one who was still very conscientious. She cried on the side, "Don't punish me. I was only ordered to do so."

Xi Mengyao shook her head, she no longer wanted to look at him, she only wanted to look at how to sneak into the tavern.

She suddenly stopped and raised her head to look at something. Then, without any warning, she forcefully changed her words, "If it's like this, I'll find someone to take revenge on me!"

Xi Mengyao had just turned her body, and heard these words, she turned back, and realised that these words had garnered a lot of attention.

In the end, this was still a street. Even though there were people blocking their way, they were unable to disappear. It was human instinct to join in the liveliness. Thus, they would naturally stick together.

"This is really fun, a little girl actually dares to fight with the people of Third Prince, isn't this just asking for your life?" Someone laughed and teased.

"Don't tell me you saw her like that. Maybe she really did say something." The person beside him said in a teasing tone. The few people who had just arrived nearly laughed out loud when they heard his words.

"We might be waiting for master to save us."

"Who is her master?"

"That trash Crown Princess Jing!"

After Xi Mengyao heard these people's words, she felt a little puzzled.

Why did she say this? She clearly knew that no one would believe her, yet she still said it out.

This made her even more vigilant.

Not long after, she suddenly heard a person's voice and cautiously said, "Look at her, it might be true."

Seeing how certain she was, a trace of suspicion arose in the heart of this thoughtful person. It was as if she thought that perhaps there really was someone backing her up.

This voice quickly spread out, and the discussion gradually died down.

The crowd was watching her face off against that guard, but the few of them speaking weren't important. Just by looking at their attitude, it was clear who had the upper hand.

Xi Mengyao also had a guess. She looked at the guard and the maid, and started to argue with each other like she was rehearsing. But she kept the most important part hidden.

This seemed to be hinting that there was someone supporting her from behind. Although she did not say who it was, but in the open and in secret, she was saying that the Prince Jing Palace was not simple.

Thinking of this, she smiled coldly as she raised her head and took a deep breath. She glanced around and suddenly saw that there seemed to be someone in the side room. She looked over, but the man turned his head.

"I can prove that I am from the Prince Jing Palace!" At this moment, the maidservant suddenly spoke up and then pointed at a person beside her, "If you don't believe me, ask him. He can testify for me!"

Xi Mengyao subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see that the person she was referring to was the restaurant's Attendant s!

Xi Mengyao frowned, after looking at the man carefully, she could not help but shake her head.

This Attendant was truly extraordinary. After being pointed out, he slowly stood out as if he had already known that something like this would happen. He then deeply bowed towards the two of them and said with a smile: "This little one can testify."

"You? "How do you testify?" The guards all knew him and could not help but feel curious.

I saw it with my own eyes! This lowly one's uncle is someone who delivers food and wine, he would usually send some meat and wine to the Prince Jing Residence, it was always this lady who received him, and every time he saw this lady, this lowly one would deliver food in his place, and he had also met her, and this humble one had even greeted this lady.

As the Attendant spoke, he started to play with the servant girl, describing the scene when he first met her in detail.

"Straight hook fishing huh …" Xi Mengyao was completely astonished.

This was not all, after the guard heard this, he even asked the servant what the Prince Jing Palace looked like, and she explained everything in detail, in detail, more than the person that Xi Mengyao had stayed behind for the past few days.

It seemed he had put in a lot of effort.

Xi Mengyao frowned, she felt that this group of people was strange, they seemed to be missing something.

At this time, the guard shouted loudly, "Then you're a maid from the Prince Jing Palace, what are you doing here?!"

When Xi Mengyao heard this, she immediately understood!

The weirdest thing was this!

This was the obvious question. Why did the guard keep asking for confirmation after asking her identity at the beginning?

Although she could roughly guess what this group of people wanted to do with this, why did they ask this question now?

Could it be that the time had come?

Xi Mengyao thought, she stopped in her tracks and looked around to see if there were any new faces.

It was just that she was helpless as she did not recognize the people here. People came and went, but to her, they were all strangers.

At this moment, the servant girl seemed to have thought of something and actually started crying while covering her face.

Xi Mengyao turned around, only to see that it was still a woman crying, hugging onto the leg of a guard: "Because she used the Third Prince's secondary wife to threaten me!"

After she finished speaking, she bit her lips and frowned in an extremely miserable manner: "Although there is great disparity in my status of Miss Mengge, this servant had once followed her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and thus received her favor. This servant cannot look at her, and was tricked by someone."

"Heh." When Xi Mengyao heard this, he was unable to suppress it and let out a cold laugh. She actually ignored the fact that she had been discovered and loudly shouted, "Then tell me, what is this favor?"

"..." "Servant," The servant was shocked, Xi Mengyao could tell that she had not made up any excuses.

Originally, she thought that she wouldn't say it, but after hesitating for a while, she bit the bullet and said: "This servant was born ugly, it was Miss Mengge who praised me … This is the first time in my life I've heard a compliment, so... "So …"

What in the world was going on? Just by meeting him and getting complimented on his actions, he was able to do such a thing for a person?

No one would believe it.

Sure enough, a hissing sound came from the side, and the maid didn't dare to speak.

Xi Mengyao had already known that she would make it up, but she never thought that she would do it this way.

However, this was even more strange.

If he was not a maid in the Prince Jing Palace, why would he lie so brazenly?

Even though this place was said to be outside the Third Prince Palace, there were still rumors going around here. If word of this got out and someone overheard it and passed it to the Prince Jing, then after careful investigation, the matter would naturally become clear.

At that time, wouldn't Third Prince lose all face in front of the Emperor?

The emperor was growing increasingly curious. He was already somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that he insisted on marrying a princess from a neighbouring country, but now he was secretly creating such an incident. What was wrong with him? Self-abuse?

As he was thinking, he saw that the maid was actually biting her lips, her eyes red, as if she had something on her mind.

She narrowed her eyes and watched the man's movements.

From time to time, she would look up.

Xi Mengyao's heart moved, she immediately raised her head, and saw that the windows of the few other buildings had all been opened!
