As the Sun Mansion's mistress, who should have kept this matter a secret for them, Zhong's actually dared to run over to the Imperial Palace to complain.

Sima Yuzhu gritted her teeth in anger.

"What do we do now?" Yu Nu looked at her master.

"What can we do? It's too late to kill her now." The matter was already known by Empress Zhuang, she had only started now, wasn't she just admitting it?

"Hurry up and send someone to inform eldest cousin."

This matter was not a matter for her alone. She believed that even if Jin Chuao slept with her, he would not want to marry her.

It would do neither of them any good to marry her.

"I don't know who designed it then." Yu Nu hated how her princess had been reduced to such a state.

"Forget it, I'm afraid it's the Sixth Prince." She clearly knew it was him, but she couldn't blame him. It could be seen that she really did like him.

Seeing her master in such a miserable state, she silently vowed in her heart. If her master was able to escape from this predicament, she would definitely make the Sixth Prince pay.

Just as they were speaking, the palace had already arrived. Female officials was already standing in front of the palace gate, waiting for them.

"Your Highness is safe and sound, Empress Dowager is already waiting for you in the palace." Female officials seemed to be very respectful when she spoke, but her eyes were focused on the sky and the ground, her respect could not even be described with a single glance.

"Lead the way." Sima Yuzhu was not someone to be trifled with. Seeing her arrogant, she became even more proud.

When they entered the palace, Zhong's and Sun Jinmeng were kneeling on the ground and crying. Sun Jinzi was dragged up as well.

"It is all my fault. If not for my vassal wife being insufficiently prepared, how would I have allowed such a thing to happen to my His Royal Highness the First Prince and my royal highness? My vassal wife deserves to die ten thousand times for this crime. I beg my Empress Dowager to punish me."

Zhong's's singing was excellent, while Sun Jinmeng by her side was also crying, but her crying was good, with tears in her eyes and tears in her tears, she did not look bad, instead she made people fall in love with her.

Sun Jinzi was the only one kneeling there, and her eyes kept looking down, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

However, she was the person Sima Yuzhu hated the most.

Therefore, the moment she entered and saw Sun Jinzi present, she immediately glared at him.

Even if Sun Jinzi sensed it, she was still looking straight into her eyes and nose, pretending that she couldn't see it.

Today, she had only been there as a foil, accompanying Zhong's mother and daughter and the other two to the palace to play.

When they came, they had already agreed on the conditions. She couldn't refuse to accompany them to the palace, but she wouldn't say a word.

Zhong's knew Sun Jinzi's character, and didn't really expect her to say anything, so she said whatever she wanted to say. Since she had come, she only wanted to make it up to him, and let him see if Princess of Dongchu and the other two were true or not. Otherwise, even if the three of them were not so compatible, they would still end up committing crimes.

"The princess is here." Empress Zhuang greeted Sima Yuzhu politely when she saw him.

"Hmph …" Sima Yuzhu snorted coldly as her nose faced the sky.

Empress Zhuang's beautiful square face suddenly froze. A hint of anger flashed through her eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

"This matter, I presume is true. Princess, rest assured, although you are a foreigner, This Palace will not treat you wrongly. This matter, you are the one who has suffered the loss, This Palace will definitely help you."

With that, he spoke quickly and without waiting for Sima Yuzhu to react, he raised his hand: "Since this matter has been confirmed by Princess of Dongchu, we can invite His Royal Highness the First Prince over. Oh right, this matter is related to the reputation of First Prince and Princess of Dongchu, I'm afraid we have to invite His Majesty over as well."

As he said that, Empress Zhuang even called out to Third Prince, Fourth Prince and the other Sixth Prince who were present at the scene that day.

It was as if all she had to do was invite them, and it would be a sign of her fairness, her majesty.

In truth, he did not plan to cause such a ruckus. He merely wanted to use Sima Yuzhu as a weakness.

It was just that she did not expect Sima Yuzhu to not give her any face at all and not buy into her account, which caused Empress Zhuang to feel a little reverence for him.

No matter how smart Sima Yuzhu was, and how honorable her identity was, she was still a princess of the Easternum, and a relative of the First Prince and their family. It was impossible for her to use her.

Thus, the moment Empress Zhuang saw Sima Yuzhu, her heart raced, and she had already changed her mind.

She wanted to suppress this proud Sima Yuzhu until she couldn't raise her head. She wanted to make her suffer an extreme amount of torture, and also break the last straw from First Prince.

"Your Highness, it's inappropriate. I'm afraid it's going to be bad today." The mama beside Sima Yuzhu had been soaking in the palace for a long time, so they could see through her thoughts. However, it was already too late if they wanted to stop him now.

Below the stage, Sun Jinzi kept her head down until her neck was stiff. She stepped on the servant's scream and gently moved.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

"Third Prince, His Highness the Fourth Prince, His Highness the Sixth Prince has arrived …"

A long string of greetings sounded out.

A charming and beautiful smile appeared on Empress Zhuang's face as she stood up to welcome her.

The bright yellow phoenix robe and the bright yellow dragon robe intertwined together, reflecting each other, exceptionally beautiful.

"Zi Tong..." When the emperor saw the smile on Empress Zhuang's face, her serious and dignified expression immediately relaxed, becoming soft and gentle.

"Greetings to Your Majesty from Chenqie."

As the Empress Zhuang's greetings fell, other people's greetings sounded within the palace.

The nobles walked in one by one, the sounds of greeting rising and falling, it was very lively.

And at this time, Sima Yuzhu's complexion had actually become somewhat pale.

The intelligent her had already seen through everything. This matter was being planned by someone, and she had no way to escape.

She glanced at Jin Chupei somewhat anxiously. He was dressed in a purple gold robe, his figure was majestic, his face was handsome, and his expression was serious. She stared at him for a long time, but in this period of time, he did not even raise her head, as she pretended to look at the floor, only actually looking at Sun Jinzi who was kneeling at the side.

Qi... Boundless rage was like a river that was floating and sinking. The waves of it were surging forward, pressing down on her so heavily that she couldn't breathe.

Everyone took their seats according to the nobility of their status.

The three members of the Sun family were still kneeling straight. No one was watching them, as if they had been forgotten.

"Zi Tong, for you to invite us so urgently, is there something important?"

The Emperor glanced at the people below him. There was nothing he wasn't clear about.

The entire West Jin belonged to him alone. How could the events that happened in the house of his minister not be concealed from his Dragon Guards?

Except, if the others didn't poke him, he would just pretend not to see it.

After all, he was still young, and it was not appropriate for him to establish the storage monarch at this time.

However, when he looked at the three people of the Sun family kneeling on the ground, he thought that he wouldn't be able to cover this matter up. However, even so, he had to minimize the impact.

As he thought of this, the emperor raised his hand. Eunuch Wei immediately waved his horsetail whisk and led his guards and palace maids down.

When everyone saw this, they more or less understood.

However, this matter had already started, and the Empress Zhuang would not rest until she achieved her goal.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, and her smile became graceful, like a oriole on a spring day touching a peach flower. She was extremely beautiful.

The Emperor felt as if his heart was about to sink.

His desire to interfere gradually faded.

First Prince didn't do anything cleanly himself, and didn't care about his own safety. He was just a princess of a Easternum, so he believed that with his abilities, he would be able to handle this situation.

If he could not handle it, it would be his life. He was not fit to be his son.

The gaze of the emperor swept past the three to four members of the Sixth Prince. To his left and right, he also had several adult princes.

"Your Majesty, this matter was instigated by the Master Sun's wife, Zhong's. Hearing that, Chenqie seemed to be related to Princess of Dongchu, and even more so, thought, this matter is very important, I am afraid that the Chenqie's abilities are limited, and do not dare to act rashly, that's why I have troubled Your Majesty."

Her coquettish voice made even the princes in the First Court feel extremely comfortable in their ears. Not to mention that the Emperor, who had already enjoyed his snake like figure, had long since softened half of his body.

However, he was still the ruler of a nation, and he was also a relatively wise ruler in the history of the Western Jin Dynasty. He still had his rationality.

"Zi Tong is too polite, Zi Tong's matter is my problem."

After saying that, he no longer gave the initiative to Empress Zhuang, but looked at the Zhong's below him. "Zhong's Sun …"

With a loud shout, Zhong's trembled unnaturally and immediately crouched down, claiming that he deserved ten thousand deaths.

"It's easy to die, but hard to bear half dying. It's just a conviction, I have to see the crime, so you better hurry up and say it."

Zhong's was a chess piece that Empress Zhuang held in her hands. From the looks of it, it was very useful and she did not want to lose it that quickly.

Thus, after Empress Zhuang narrated the shocking story, she gently opened her mouth and said:

"Your majesty, Zhong's Sun is normally very close with Chenqie, Chenqie has some sense of propriety when she sees her. I am afraid that she did this on purpose, Your Majesty knows that, even if you are a Saint, you will not be able to win against her."

What he said could not be confirmed by Sun Jinzi, as it was true.

Just like when this Empress Zhuang was scheming against the previous Empress, she was planning to do so with all her heart.

The emperor was well aware of this matter. Whoever was involved in this matter, wasn't he the Princess of Dongchu who was always restless?

He had long since disliked her.

She was, after all, a princess of a neighbouring country, and she didn't want to make things too desperate. After all, she was the emperor of a country.

"Someone, call the witnesses."

These were all arranged by the Empress Zhuang long ago, and all the signs pointed towards Sima Yuzhu.

See here, hear here.

If Sima Yuzhu still could not see clearly and understand clearly, then, she would have lived her entire life for nothing.

"You all … "You people of the West Jin are the same mountain." Facing such ironclad evidence, Sima Yuzhu was panicking.

However, she was different from the others. The more she panicked, the calmer, and the stronger she became.

That firm gaze and sharp expression only caused the maid, who was standing at the side, to be greatly shocked.

"How dare you …" Eunuch Wei saw that Sima Yuzhu was rude and shouted loudly.

The Emperor did not stop her. This kind of princess truly did not know the limits of the heavens and earth. If she really thought that this place was the Easternum, then anyone would have to give way to her.
