After realizing what he was saying, Eunuch Tian covered his mouth tightly. His two small eyes looked at the Third Prince and Liang Yueru in horror, then at the onlookers, his face looking as ugly as if he had seen a ghost.

All the guests were so shocked that their mouths opened wide, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

It's only been a short while, why did Eunuch Tian suddenly turn against us?

Which statement is true?

The fourth prince showed a delighted expression and slowly repeated what Eunuch Tian said, "Oh, so it turned out that Concubine Liang Shu and the two Miss Liangs conspired to plot against the brave young general?"

The Third Prince pointed at Eunuch Tian and shouted angrily, "You little slave! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Eunuch Tian was so frightened that he knelt down in a hurry, trembling all over.

He didn't want to tell the truth, but as soon as he said it, it turned out like that. Did he encounter a ghost today?

Gu Qinghuai looked at Eunuch Tian, ​​smiled coldly, turned the control bracelet slightly, and transmitted his consciousness at the same time.

Eunuch Tian's hand that was covering his mouth fell down weakly. He wanted to raise it but couldn't. He raised his head uncontrollably and continued to speak loudly: "The Concubine Shu deliberately sent the Princess Qinghe away and let Liang Qianxi pretend to be the Princess Qinghe and fall into the water. Then this old servant happened to lead the young general over and misled him to go into the water to save people. In this way, Liang Qianxi can marry the young general, and the third prince can also - ah!"

The third prince kicked Eunuch Tian to the ground and hit him hard on the neck with a knife. Eunuch Tian fainted.

Gu Qinghuai laughed sarcastically, "What is the Third Prince doing? Are you afraid that Eunuch Tian will tell the truth?"

The Third Prince said calmly, "This old slave has suddenly gone insane. If we don't subdue him soon, he will hurt people. What a madman says cannot be trusted!"

Gu Qinghuai looked at Liang Qianxi again, his eyes sharp: "Liang Qianxi, is what Eunuch Tian said true?"

"Of course it's true!" Liang Qianxi blurted out, then widened her eyes and immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth tightly.

But her hands, like Eunuch Tian's, fell uncontrollably, and her mouth continued uncontrollably: "Here, this is my human skin mask, which my aunt gave me. She asked me to pretend to be the Princess of Qinghe County and trick the young general into diving into the water to save me, and then I can marry the young general."

"Qian Xi! What nonsense are you talking about?! Shut up!" Liang Yueru screamed, her face as pale as paper.

Liang Qianxi was shaking all over and wanted to pretend to faint, but for some reason, she couldn't close her eyes or bend her body.

What happened to her? Was she possessed by an evil spirit?

I heard that many palace maids and concubines died in that pool. Could it be that she was possessed by a ghost?

Gu Qinghuai quickly snatched the human skin mask from her hand, threw it to Prince Yi, and jokingly said, "Your Majesty, try it on and see if it looks like me?"

After Prince Yi put it on, his face really looked like Gu Qinghuai.

He took a deep look at Gu Qinghuai, then turned to everyone and said with a smile: "This human skin mask is really great. I didn't expect Concubine Liang Shu knew such a capable person. He can make a fake look real with just a mask. It's a pity that many palace maids, eunuchs and concubines have drowned in the pool here. I guess some water ghosts can't stand some people using shady means to plot against others, so you can't control yourself and tell the truth."

I don’t know what method that woman Gu Qinghuai used to force these people to tell the truth, but in any case, her ability cannot be exposed.

After hearing Prince Yi's words, many people at the scene shuddered, looked at the sparkling pool with fear, and shrank together unconsciously.

Liang Qianxi was so frightened that she was trembling with fear in her eyes.

At this point, all the guests knew what was going on, but they did not dare to offend the Liang family or Concubine Liang Shufei for the sake of the brave young general and the Princess of Qinghe who had no background, so most of them remained silent.

However, there were still many people who spoke up for Qi Yuanshuo, including the Minister of Works Wei Xuexing and his wife, as well as the Ninth Wise King Qi Xinzhou and others.

Gu Qinghuai turned his gaze to Liang Yueru again: "Ms. Liang, you are still stubborn even now. Isn't it true that you two conspired to plot against the young general?"

"So what if it's true? My aunt is Concubine Liang Shu, who is deeply favored by the emperor. My cousin, the third prince, will become the crown prince! We in the Liang family can do whatever we want! Zhao Xiaoshi, you are a peasant, and you were just lucky to take back the three cities. You have no background and no backing. It's your honor that my daughter from the Liang family likes you, but you don't know what's good for you!" Liang Yueru screamed and roared.

The guests were dumbfounded and stared at Liang Yueru in a daze.

The eldest daughter of the Liang family usually speaks and acts in a very measured way. What happened today?

Did she really run into a ghost? No one knew except Gu Qinghuai, and Liang Yueru couldn't control herself at all.

"Pa!" The Third Prince raised his hand and slapped Liang Yueru in the face, "Are you crazy too? You are talking nonsense!"

Watching the Third Prince beating Liang Yueru, Chang Ziqi, who was standing in the crowd, raised the corners of her lips happily.

"Cousin, you...you hit me?" Liang Yueru covered her face, her eyes full of anger, "You are always like this to women! You don't like Chang Ziqi at all, and you even dislike her for being ugly! But in order to win over the Chang family, you endured the disgust and married her! I didn't expect that you would be like this to me too! You only have power in your eyes, not sincerity!"

"Pa!" The Third Prince was furious and slapped her again, "Bitch! You are talking nonsense!"

Chang Ziqi staggered in pain and almost fell to the ground.

Although she knew that the Third Prince did not really like her, Liang Yueru said it in public, which really broke her heart and made her lose face.

Qi Yuanshuo took Gu Qinghuai's hand and smiled at her.

Sister Xiao Huai used that chip gun again, which made them lose control of their emotions and started a big quarrel.

The onlookers were extremely embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay, and could only try to reduce their presence as much as possible.

The elderly Ninth Sage King did not want the royal family's shame to be exposed, so he said loudly: "Today's lotus viewing banquet ends here, everyone can go!"

The guests quickly slipped away as if they had greased their feet.

The fourth prince looked at the third prince proudly, then walked away contentedly, waving his folding fan.

Qi Yuanshuo turned around and looked at Liang Qianxi, Liang Yueru, and the third prince who were dumbfounded, and said in a cold voice: "I will not give up on Concubine Liang Shu and the others' plot against me. I will report it to the emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Sage Prince stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. He sighed helplessly and whispered, "Young brave general, today Concubine Liang Shu and the Liang family have lost face. Let's just leave it at that. Even if you report it to the emperor, he won't punish Concubine Liang Shu severely. Instead, it will give the emperor one more worry, which is not good for you."

The Ninth Wise King is the uncle of the Emperor and Prince Yi, so Qi Yuanshuo should call him uncle. Saying these words to Qi Yuanshuo as the Ninth Wise King can be regarded as a kind reminder from the Ninth Wise King.

Qi Yuanshuo bowed to the Ninth Sage King and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. But we can't just pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, the world will belong to the Liang family."

The Ninth Wise King was stunned. He stroked his gray beard, shook his head and sighed.
