I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Yang Liu frowned. This game seemed unsolvable...

"What about your maid Xiao Tao? Why did she leave you alone?"

"I don't know what Xiaotao stepped on and fell. I thought it was serious, so I asked her to get bandaged first..."

After hearing this, Yang Liu frowned even more tightly. It seemed like everything was just a coincidence, but if she hadn't appeared, this might have cost many lives...

"If someone tries to deceive you with this kind of words again, don't believe them. If I want to find you, I will go find you in person. At the very least, I will ask someone I know to call you."

Yang Liu held Liu Jinyuan's arms with both hands and said in a deep voice.

"If someone comes to ask you about today, if he bites you to death, just say it wasn't you who pushed him. When you get to the place, you'll see he fell into the water. Don't say anything else. Got it?"

Yang Liu has always been gentle in front of Liu Jinyuan, and she has been very indulgent towards her and has never said anything harsh to her. But now she has been reminding her three times in an urgent manner. Liu Jinyuan knows that this is a serious matter, and the words she tried to ask her why were swallowed back in her stomach, and she nodded obediently.

"Yes……"

As expected by Yang Liu, the little girl went to whisper in the ear of the Fourth Prince's mother, and soon a large group of people came to question her.

Imperial Noble Consort Yu Zhishu was not in the palace, so the palace servants naturally could not stop this aggressive group of people.

Yang Liu protected Liu Jinyuan behind him. They looked at the aggressive Concubine Xian. The two, big and small, stared at each other. Yang Liu, like a hen protecting her chicks, puffed out her chest and abdomen and looked at the beautiful woman who was in a hurry and panting with a vigilant look. She seized the opportunity and spoke first.

"My Lady Consort Xian, the Fourth Imperial Brother was not recommended by my Jin Yuan. She doesn't like to communicate with others, so she naturally doesn't want to make enemies. Please don't listen to others' rumors and slander my Imperial Sister's innocence!"

When Concubine Xian saw Yang Liu's sharp tongue, her mind, which was already confused due to anxiety and anger, became even more unclear. Her voice suddenly rose a degree, and her gentle face suddenly became a little ferocious.

"Who else could it be but her! I heard a while ago that she had an argument with my son in the academy, but I never thought that she would be so cruel to him now. She is so cruel and ruthless at such a young age that she dares to murder her own siblings. What will happen to her when she grows up!"

"It wasn't me! I didn't push him!"

Liu Jinyuan stuck his head out from behind Yang Liu and was about to argue, but Yang Liu pushed his head back behind him.

"Why does the Concubine Xian want to ask about the crime so early? When the Fourth Prince wakes up, won't you know the answer after asking him a few questions?"

As soon as Yang Liu said this, Concubine Xian suddenly realized why she was so eager to put the blame on others. The maid who was telling her the news saw that she was wavering and hurried forward to whisper to her.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's fall into the water must have been related to the Third Princess. Even if nothing happened, this incident has harmed her body. How can we let her get away with it so easily? Why don't we find the Emperor?"

After hearing this, Concubine Xian looked at her thoughtfully, her brows slightly furrowed. "Your Majesty, can we just look for him whenever we want? There's no rules."

The virtuous concubine was just unpopular, but she was smart. If the emperor had any intention, the Fourth Prince's fall into the water was not a trivial matter. The news had spread throughout the palace. It was obvious that he did not want to care about such trivial matters. She was so angry that she did not think that the Fourth Prince was just unconscious and was not in serious condition, so she hurried over to question him. Now that she was a little more sober, she regretted her impulsiveness. The mother of the Second Princess and the Third Princess was extremely powerful. Even if she really pushed the matter, how could she make a big deal out of it?

"In that case, let's wait until the prince wakes up. The two princesses should take care of their own affairs."

The virtuous concubine left quickly and rushed to her own palace. How could she not be anxious when her child was unconscious? She was so angry that she ran to question and ask for an explanation. The other party seemed to refuse to admit it and his words were well-founded. She had no choice but to return to the palace to take care of her child and settle the score when he woke up.

The Fourth Prince was in a coma for two days before he woke up. During this period, the two of them were summoned by the Emperor and questioned. Yang Liu was so furious that she almost thought he was going to send them directly to jail. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince woke up in time and was spared from further questioning.

"Tell me, who pushed you into the water?"

The Fourth Prince just woke up and was a little dazed. He caught a cold and had a fever for two days after falling into the water. When he saw his mother now, he naturally cried to relieve the fear he had experienced after falling into the water two days ago.

When the emperor asked this question, he also sniffed.

"I, I fell down by myself."

When the Fourth Prince said this, Concubine Xian and the Emperor looked at each other, and then he softened his voice and asked.

"Really? If someone pushes you into this, speak up. Your father will definitely seek justice for you."

"No, I went to pick lotus pods, but I slipped and fell into the water. It was Liu... Third Sister who saved me."

Since the Fourth Prince said it himself, Concubine Xian naturally could not be held accountable anymore, and she still had to apologize for her previous rude remarks.

"Princess, please forgive me. I loved my son so much that I failed to distinguish right from wrong. I will repay you for saving my life. When my son is better, I will come to thank you."

"That's good. Your son should have a good rest. As for Chaoyuan and Jinyuan, they have acted bravely. Tell them to reward them and send them to Zhaohua Palace later." Emperor Liu Yuanjing glanced at everyone indifferently, then gave the rewards as well.

"Thank you, Father, for the reward."

The two sisters bowed one after the other and watched the emperor leave. Then they looked at the Fourth Prince who was sitting on the bed. Seeing that he was fine, they knelt down and bowed to Concubine Xian and took their leave.

"Since the fourth brother is alright, my sister and I will take our leave."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to say anything more. He took Liu Jinyuan's hand and left. He didn't let her go until they arrived at the palace.

"Are you scared? If you have something like this in the future, you must come to me first, understand?"

Liu Jinyuan was still young, and she was afraid that the little girl would be frightened by such an incident. However, as everything had not yet been settled, she did not dare to act rashly. In this feudal dynasty, doing one step more or one step less could easily lead to death. It was not until the truth was revealed that she felt relieved and comforted Liu Jinyuan, who was framed and insulted at such a young age.

"Don't take to heart what those people said these days. They don't understand you. Sister will always stand by you. Don't be afraid."

"Why is my sister so nice to me?"

In Liu Jinyuan's memory, Yang Liu was not like this earlier. Although she didn't say bad things to her, she also turned a blind eye to her. No one was willing to get along with such a dull person like her. Over time, rumors spread. Compared with Liu Chaoyuan, some people even thought she was unlucky. Liu Jinyuan couldn't understand why her always indifferent sister suddenly became so enthusiastic and caring, and put all her energy on her. She was really flattered.

"Why else?"

Yang Liu reached out and pinched her round and smooth face, then grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and smiled.

"You are my sister. We were born together and grew up together. If I don't spoil you, who else should I spoil? If I don't help you, who else should I help?"

What Yang Liu said made sense. Liu Jinyuan opened her mouth, but when she thought about how she had argued with those people these days, she felt a sour nose tip for a moment. She pursed her lips and started to cry. Yang Liu saw that this was too much, so she hurriedly took her into her arms and wiped her tears in a hurry. Liu Jinyuan was stunned for a moment, and raised her arms awkwardly to gently wrap around her waist, and called out in a muffled voice.

"elder sister……"
