I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 227 Slander
"Meizhen!" Yin Taiyu rushed forward and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"Third brother." Yin Meizhen threw herself into his arms, her suppressed sobs turned into loud tears, her shoulders trembling like a wounded little animal.

Because of the big movement, the cloak that was wrapped around him slipped off, revealing the torn clothes underneath and the red plum spots on his neck.

Anyone who has experienced human affairs knows what these traces are.

Looking at Yin Meizhen crying so pitifully, her clothes were in disarray...

Everyone was shocked.

This, this, this... This is the princess who came to marry the emperor. Who is so reckless as to dare to snatch the emperor's woman?

Yin Taiyu was so angry that his eyes turned red, his fists clenched, and he asked through gritted teeth: "Who did it?"

Yin Meizhen just cried and shook her head, unable to utter a word.

At this time, the Yulin Guard came to report that two assassins were captured from behind the Ganquan Palace.

Xiao Jingfan's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Bring it up."

Two men who were tied up were pushed over by the Yulin Guards. Although their clothes and faces were covered with mud, the people present recognized their identities at a glance. They were the second prince of Western Xia, Wei Mingliang, and the Western Xia warrior Tuoba Yong, who had disappeared without a trace.

What the Imperial Guards just reported were people captured from behind Ganquan Palace. The timing was so coincidental. Could it be that these two were the ones who bullied Princess Meizhen?
As they speculated like this, everyone turned to look at the reactions of the emperor and other envoys.

Wei Ming Yu Jin was stunned by what was happening before his eyes.

Wasn’t Meizhen supposed to dance for the second prince? Why did it turn out like this?

She slowly took two steps back, her mind a mess.

Zhao Shiqi looked at Wei Mingliang and knew something was fishy when he saw Wei Mingliang winking at him. He secretly analyzed the pros and cons and did not act rashly.

"Two bastards!" Princess Gaochang clenched her fists and was about to step forward and punch Wei Mingliang and Tuoba Yong each.

"Princess, you can't do that." The maid grabbed her arm and pulled her back with all her strength, "Things haven't been figured out yet, don't be impulsive." With that strength you have, don't beat someone to death!

Ainiwal also helped to persuade Princess Gaochang to calm down.

With such an accident happening, it was naturally impossible to enjoy the lanterns. Xiao Jingfan sent away all the irrelevant people who wanted to watch the fun, and took Wei Mingliang and his group to Wenhua Hall for questioning.

This matter had nothing to do with the Gaochang Kingdom. Princess Gaochang was unable to stay and listen, but she was unwilling to go back just like that, so she simply ran to the door of Wenhua Palace and waited, wanting to hear the result first.

When Xiao Jingfan found out, he didn't chase her away and just let her go.

Queen Zhong took Yin Meizhen to a side hall to change clothes. Seeing that Yin Meizhen was in a better mood, she asked her softly what had happened.

"I drank two extra glasses of wine and felt dizzy, so I ran out to sober up. But it was cold outside, and I heard that few people went to Ganquan Palace, so I thought of taking a short rest there." Yin Meizhen wiped her tears, "I was half asleep, and when I heard the sound of the door opening and closing, I thought it was a maid who came over, but who would have thought it was... the second prince."

She sniffed, buried her face between her knees, and wrapped her thin arms around herself. She said in a muffled voice, "He seems to be drunk. He is so strong. He pressed on me and I couldn't push him away. I..."

She was choked with sobs and couldn't speak anymore, sobbing.

The red marks on the neck were deformed due to the tense muscles, making it look somewhat hideous.

"Don't be afraid, Princess." Queen Zhong gently stroked her back and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty will seek justice for the princess."

"Really?" Yoon Mi-jin looked up at her, tears still on her eyelashes.

Queen Zhong nodded and said, "I'll go to the main hall to check. Princess, please wash up first."

"Yes." Yin Meizhen responded softly and buried her face between her knees again. Queen Zhong stood up and was supported by Qiu Sui to go to the main hall.

The candlelight in the hall was bright, and it was clear that there were many people sitting or standing, but there was complete silence and a very depressing atmosphere.

Queen Zhong entered the palace, glanced at Wei Mingliang and Tuoba Yong who had already washed their faces, and bowed to Xiao Jingfan, "Your Majesty, I have already asked Princess Meizhen, and the princess pointed out that it was the second prince who broke into Ganquan Palace under the pretext of being drunk and humiliated her. The princess asks Your Majesty to seek justice for her."

Xiao Jingfan nodded, his cold eyes fell on Wei Mingliang: "Princess Meizhen pointed it out herself, what else can the Second Prince say?"

"I was not drunk, and I did not bully Princess Meizhen." Wei Mingliang had figured out the matter. "Someone deliberately led me to Ganquan Palace, forced me to enter the palace, and used smoke to confuse me. I could not move at all. How could I bully the princess?"

Yin Taiyu said angrily: "The injuries on Meizhen's body...can't be fake, and there are only two of you in the palace, who else could it be if not you?"

Wei Mingliang glanced at him and said, "Of course it was Princess Meizhen herself who did it."

"You bullshit!"

"Whether it is true or not, the Third Prince knows best."

"you!"

"Shut up." Xiao Jingfan interrupted the two people who were on the verge of a fight. "Words are not enough. What evidence do you have, Second Prince?"

"Yujin." Weimingliang turned his head and looked at the seated Weiming Yujin, "You go and tell His Majesty."

No one expected that the beautiful princess of Western Xia could be involved, and they all looked at her.

Wei Ming Yu Jin was so nervous that she clenched her fists. Thinking of what Zhao Shiqi had just told her, she said truthfully, "Yes, Princess Mei Zhen said she wanted to dance for my second brother alone, and asked me to trick my second brother into going to Ganquan Palace. I did everything she said, and I don't know why things turned out like this."

"Nonsense!" Yin Taiyu glared at her. "Princess Yujin, even if you want to speak for the Second Prince, Meizhen trusts you so much and treats you like a sister. She is being bullied now, why are you still helping those who bully her to slander her?"

"I didn't!" Wei Ming Yu Jin felt extremely wronged. With his emotions fluctuating, tears welled up in his eyes. "If the Third Prince doesn't believe me, you can invite Princess Mei Zhen to confront me and see if I'm lying."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingfan sent someone to invite Yin Meizhen over.

Yin Meizhen had finished dressing up, and the red marks on her neck were covered by a fluffy collar. If it weren't for her red eyes and extremely pale face, nothing would have looked wrong.

Xiao Jingfan asked, "Princess Yujin just said that you asked her to lead the Second Prince to Ganquan Palace. Is that true?"

"I didn't." Yin Meizhen looked at Weiming Yujin in disbelief, "Yujin, why are you slandering me?"

Weiming Yujin was confused. This was completely different from what she thought. Shouldn't Meizhen help her explain it to everyone?

"I..." She stared into Yin Meizhen's eyes, "You were the one who gave me the pearl flower, and you were the one who told me to lie to the Second Prince. You also said that the Second Prince would definitely go to Ganquan Palace to find you after hearing that. I did everything you said, so why don't you admit it?"

Yin Meizhen frowned, looking puzzled: "Why should I ask you to help me deceive the Second Prince?"

"You said you liked my second brother and wanted to dance a Luan Jing Yuan for him before entering the palace to make up for your regrets, but you still..." Wei Ming Yu Jin slowly reacted as she spoke, and opened her beautiful eyes wide in surprise, "You lied to me!"

Yin Meizhen frowned even more tightly: "What Luan Jing Yuan? I have never heard of it. What on earth are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Wei Ming Yu Jin bit her lip and glared at Yin Mei Jin, "You liar! It's you who killed my second brother. I have witnesses!"

Yin Meizhen looked puzzled, but her heart skipped a beat.

Witness!

How could Wei Ming Yu Jin have any witnesses? !
