Mu Ningyuan looked at Shen Yindi with a little more admiration in his eyes.

It’s really amazing. He can get into the role as soon as he says he will.

As expected, the King of Chu could tell at a glance that Shen Yindi's condition was different from last time. After entering the imperial study, Shen Yindi took off her veil.

Anyway, he had seen her true face last time.

"Adi, why are you so depressed when you see me?" Emperor Chu asked immediately.

No one had ever looked so frustrated directly in front of him!

No matter what, you have to cheer up.

But she didn't hide it at all.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure you've heard the recent rumors about this commoner girl in the streets of the imperial capital, right?"

"I'm being slandered for no reason, and my reputation is being slandered. Who can be happy about this? I don't want to put on a forced smile." Shen Yindi's tone was obviously depressed.

When this was mentioned, the Emperor Chu's face suddenly became serious. His voice was also very low: "Yes, I did listen."

"Do you find it absurd and outrageous?"

"Not to mention that I would never do such a thing, which brothel would allow a woman like me to receive customers? Wouldn't that destroy their reputation?"

"Besides, men who go to brothels to seek pleasure and find girls like gentle and bold women with excellent sexual skills. Which man would go to a brothel to find an ugly freak like me?"

“Don’t talk nonsense!” The Emperor of Chu stopped him in a low voice.

Shen Yindi pouted.

She didn't stop and continued, "I am telling the truth! I said it last time, even though the truth is unpleasant to hear, it is the truth!"

"In fact, I was just a little unhappy for a while, but it soon became okay. I just felt sorry for my prince! Those who spread rumors wanted to use me to humiliate him, but unfortunately he kept blaming himself for not being able to do anything for me."

"My reputation may be small, but if it affects the royal family's reputation like this, I will be extremely upset!"

"Hey, I don't know what those people's intentions are."

As she spoke, Shen Yindi's voice became choked with sobs.

There were tears glistening in her beautiful eyes.

But she pretended to hold back her tears and pretended to be strong. She was not very old to begin with, and it was really hard to see her like this.

At this time, Mu Ningyuan, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up at the right time: "Your Majesty, I think that the rumors this time are extremely vicious and evil!"

"They actually spread such a bad rumour about a virtuous woman like Miss Shen, who took such good care of the Third Prince! Perhaps they are jealous of her ability, or they have other concerns about the Third Prince."

"You say it in such a despicable way!"

"His heart is to be killed!"

Mu Ningyuan's words were actually very clear. How could someone as wise as the Emperor Chu not hear it?

His face suddenly turned gloomy.

At this time, Shen Yindi said again: "I don't know how many people are afraid that our prince can clear his grievances and return to everyone's sight!"

"I feel sorry for him, but he obviously didn't do anything wrong. Now even the marriage you personally granted me is useless, and you still want to throw dirty water on me like this!"

"To put it bluntly, this is the same as throwing dirty water in your face!"

"After all, this marriage was arranged by you personally."

When Shen Yindi said this, there was already a hint of anger between Emperor Chu's brows.

"I think what Miss Shen said is absolutely right. Today, after the morning court session, on the way back home, I heard a lot of rumors about this incident. Some of them were simply unbearable to hear!" Mu Ningyuan said, he was already a little indignant.

"Lord Mu, I now order you to thoroughly investigate this matter! You must find out the mastermind behind this and severely punish that despicable person!"

The King of Chu immediately gave the order.

In fact, when he first heard the rumor, he felt a little unhappy and didn't believe it at all!

It happened that Shen Yindi came to the palace today and told him so many heartfelt words!

Bullying a woman like this is really despicable. It is not something a normal person would do!

"I obey your order! I will find out the truth as soon as possible! Give Miss Shen and Yun Yi justice!" Mu Ningyuan agreed.

When Emperor Chu suddenly heard Chu Yan's name, he was stunned.

This character was chosen by him and her mother themselves.

Inadvertently, he saw the jade pendant on Shen Yindi's waist again.

Didn't you pay any attention just now?

In fact, Shen Yindi was quietly taken out when Mu Ningyuan was talking just now.

After all, this was her prince's heirloom. She wore it in front of Chu Yan so that he could see how hard she was trying. She put it away on the way here, and was reluctant to hang it out to avoid attracting other people's attention.

The King of Chu stared at the jade pendant on Shen Yindi's waist.

Of course Shen Yindi noticed his behavior.

She didn't say anything, waiting for him to ask. Anyway, she was very calm.

Finally, not long after, the slightly dazed voice of the Emperor Chu sounded: "Where did the jade pendant on your waist come from?"

Asking knowingly.

But Shen Yindi also told the truth.

"This was given to me by my prince. He said it was his heirloom! He had a very difficult time these years and was on the verge of dying many times! But he never thought of pawning this jade pendant to keep himself alive."

"He said this was a gift from the most important person to him. It was the most important thing in his life. He felt that it was unfair for a commoner girl to be married to him. He had nothing and was also carrying the stigma of being despised by the world!"

At this point, Shen Yindi's voice choked a little. She turned her face to the side and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"He said that this jade pendant is his token of love and his last dignity."

The King of Chu felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

His mind couldn't help but emerge with the image of him in the past, full of vigor, dignity and wisdom. His throat seemed to be stuck by something and he choked with sobs!

In the imperial study, the atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy.

Mu Ningyuan standing by wasn't much better.

Chu Yan was his best friend in this life, but he never expected that he would suffer such unfair things later...

After a while, Emperor Chu finally found his voice. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it!"

"Your Majesty, what do you think about the matter I told you last time?" Shen Yindi brought up the old matter again.

Emperor Chu had not thought it through originally, but their words today had a huge impact on him.

But he also has his own considerations.

"As for Yan'er's case, I cannot issue an edict to overturn the verdict now. It would be hard to convince the public. Besides, this may not be a good thing for him."

"In this way, I order Minister Mu to investigate secretly. When some evidence that can prove his innocence is found, I will find a suitable time to overturn the verdict." The Emperor of Chu stated his decision.

Shen Yindi's eyes lit up.

In fact, she was already very satisfied with this.

At least there is a glimmer of hope.

"The minister obeys the order!"

"I will do my best to clear Yun Yi's name!"

Mu Ningyuan saluted excitedly!

Shen Yindi also thanked him: "Your Majesty is wise! Thank you for giving us a chance. We will definitely not let you down!"

She said it with a solemn oath.

The King of Chu nodded. After he made this decision, he felt relieved for some reason.

After a while, Shen Yindi suddenly asked again tentatively: "Your Majesty, can I make a small request?"
