, sparing them from hardship and essentially saving them. Therefore, they also held her in high regard, loved her, and were grateful to her!"Toast to the Master! Toast to Miss Xiao!""Toast to the mast..."His Royal Highness!" Ling Tian's face changed drastically upon hearing this. He ordered the people beside him, "You two escort Miss Xiao back safely, and the rest of you follow me!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yu ge glanced inside, it seemed that the sound of fighting was still coming from inside. She frowned, but still followed the two guards away from there.

Ling Tian charged in with his men. The black-clothed man who was originally entangled with Qian Si Chen suddenly stopped, then pulled off the black cloth covering his face and knelt down respectfully to Qian Si Chen: "Your Highness!"

“Your Highness, are you injured” Ling Tian saw the bloodstains on Qian Si Chen’s clothes and immediately shouted at the man in black kneeling on the ground: “You dare to injure His Royal Highness! You deserve to die!” After finishing speaking, he raised his hand!

"Ling Tian! Stop!" Qian Si Chen stopped him, "They did very well this time." He touched his back, although the wound was a bit deep, but thinking of Ge'er's concern for him just now, he felt that this pain was worth it.

He then lowered his voice and asked, “How are the preparations coming along”

Ling Tian nodded. "Ready!"

"That's good. This time, I want to see how my dear brother will explain himself in front of Father!" Qian Si Chen said, her body could no longer hold up, collapsing onto Ling Tian's arms. "Remember to make a big commotion!"

"Yes!" Ling Tian waved his hand and instructed his subordinates: "Clean this place up immediately, don't let anyone notice anything amiss!"

"Yes! Commander Ling!"

The crown prince was assassinated in broad daylight, seriously injured and unconscious. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. However, all the evidence pointed to Prince Liang!

"Father, your son is innocent! Your son has done nothing!" Faced with those pieces of evidence, Qian Li Ye was speechless.

"You dare to argue! Look at what this is!" The Emperor roared, throwing the evidence in his hand before Qian Li Ye.

“You dare to cry injustice The Crown Prince is still unconscious. Don't you think he used his own life to frame you Ask the imperial physician, if that blade goes in a few more centimeters, he would be dead. Is he that stupid” The Emperor was heartbroken. Looking at his sons fighting for the throne, they were actually willing to do such a thing. He had turned a blind eye to Qian Sichin’s previous assassination attempts, but this time, all the evidence pointed to Qian Liye. He couldn't pretend anymore.

"Father, I haven't done it. Even if you kill me, I won't admit to it!" Qian Li Ye actually had some backbone.

The emperor, enraged, immediately ordered Qian Liye to be imprisoned in the dungeon and handed over to the Dali Temple for trial.

At the palace gate.

"Father, why don't you plead for Prince Liang Prince Liang must have been wrongly accused!" Ye Ting tugged at Ye Taifu's sleeve, her face full of worry.

"Ting'er, you are being foolish! I am the Prince Taifu. What kind of identity do I have to plead for Liang Wang Moreover, there is both human and physical evidence in this case. If father goes to plead at this time, wouldn't it anger Heaven"

"Father, I don't care! I believe in Prince Liang. He wouldn't do such a thing!" Ye Ting cried, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Ting'er, it seems that you haven't remembered anything your father told you. Prince Liang isn't a suitable match for you. Why won't you listen" Ye Taifu understood his daughter's feelings, but being in the court, he knew how cruel the struggle between princes could be. Now that the Crown Prince held the upper hand, if Prince Liang's ambitions weren't checked, he would eventually fall into the hands of the Crown Prince. At that time, it would be uncertain whether he would live or die. He didn't want his daughter to be heartbroken later on.

"Dad, I don't care, I just like him!" Ye Ting looked weak, but she was still quite stubborn inside.

"Ting'er, you mustn't mention this again. Father has already arranged a marriage for you. You should go home now and learn embroidery from your mother properly. A young lady shouldn't be running around outside all day long; it simply isn't proper."

"Father, are you going to arrange a marriage for me" Ye Ting exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, your father and Uncle Ning are old friends. Prince Ning is currently the Minister of Justice, a truly outstanding young man, he is very well-suited for you! Your father has already arranged for Uncle Ning to come discuss this tomorrow. Then, there will be no way out for you!" Lady Ye Fu actually hardened her heart.

"Father, this life of mine, besides Prince Liang, I won't marry anyone!" Ye Ting was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her face and ran forward, nearly bumping into Xiao Yuge who was about to enter the palace.

"Miss Xiao Er" Ye Ting was also very surprised when she saw Xiao Yuge.

"Miss Ye, what's this" Xiao Yuge had been there for a while and naturally heard every word they just said, but he still pretended to have just arrived and hadn't heard anything.

Ye Ting glanced at her father behind her, then turned her head: "I'm fine..." Suddenly she remembered something and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yuge's arm: "Miss Xiao Er, you were there when the Crown Prince was assassinated, weren't you Did you see who it was"

Xiao Yu's song shook her head: "At the time, I was terrified. All I knew was that they were all wearing masks, so I couldn't see what they looked like at all."

Ye Ting listened and immediately wiped away her tears: "That means, those men in black were all wearing masks that day, so we can't be sure if they were sent by Prince Liang, right"

Xiao Yu Ge nodded. "Well, the Prince had asked them at the time if they were sent by Prince Liang. But those people in black and masks didn't deny it."

“Neither admit nor deny, is that so Miss Xiao Er, the Emperor summoned you because of this matter. You must tell the truth to the Emperor.” Ye Ting knew, as long as Xiao Yuge's testimony, then the Emperor would not be able to convict King Liang.

“This is nature,” Xiao Yuge said to Ye Ting, who was before her. She harbored no animosity towards Ye Ting, after all, at the last Lotus Banquet, she had even testified for Xiao Yuge. Moreover, everyone knew that Ye Ting held deep affection for King Liang. This wasn't a secret. Now that King Liang had been imprisoned, Ye Ting’s anxiety was understandable.

"Thank you!" Ye Ting said gratefully.

"You're welcome!"

Xiao Yu Ge guessed right, the Emperor did indeed summon her into the palace to investigate the assassination of Qian Si Chen. After questioning her, he dismissed everyone else, leaving only Xiao Yu Ge in the hall.

"Xiao Yu Ge, I ask you, what is your relationship with the King of Freedom" The Emperor seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

"Your Majesty, I and the Wangye are just chance acquaintances." Xiao Yu Ge suddenly thought of Qian Ting Xuan when she said these words. She wondered if he would be furious upon hearing this.ly taken a few steps when she stopped, turned back slowly, and looked Xiao Yufu up and down. She raised the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with mockery: "Sister, next time you want to poison some...
