Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

There was a hint of danger in Hua Tangdi's eyes: "Liu Ronghua, what do you mean by this? Are you slandering me?"

"I dare not, I dare not." Su Feiran smiled apologetically, but her smile looked very annoying to Hua Tangdi. "Since Madam Shuofei is afraid to answer my question, I will ask Miss Xinye who has been following Madam Shuo for a long time. I believe that Miss Xinye has served Madam Shuo for many years, so she must be able to understand Madam Shuo's thoughts and her answers should be exactly the same."

Xin Ye was startled and quickly looked at Hua Tangdi. Hua Tangdi frowned, took a deep breath after a while, and said, "Answer whatever she asks."

"This..." Xinye hesitated.

"Don't worry, Miss Xinye, I won't embarrass you." Su Feiran said, "It's just that I've always been curious about the work of the yamen runners, and I want to ask Miss Xinye to help me solve my doubts."

Yamen runner?

How would I know this?

Xin Ye was increasingly confused about what Su Feiran wanted to ask her.

Seeing Xinye's uneasy expression, Su Feiran asked with a smile: "If you were a yamen runner, how would you determine the identity of the perpetrator in a serial theft case?"

"what?"

Xinye was very surprised, and so were everyone in the courtyard. Su Feiran's question was too irrelevant, and no one could figure out what kind of answer she wanted Xinye to give.

Seeing that Xinye and Xuxu didn't answer, Su Feiran sighed: "This isn't a difficult question to answer, is it? Miss Xinye, you've been thinking about it for so long, what's on your mind?"

"I am stupid and don't know what Liu Ronghua wants to ask." Xinye gritted her teeth and answered, "But if I were a yamen runner and wanted to confirm the identity of the perpetrator, I would naturally have to hide in ordinary people's homes and arrest the criminal. Then I would know what the perpetrator looks like. As for his name, we would know it at the first trial."

"Oh?" Su Feiran raised his eyebrows and then joked, "Why don't you check the testimony of witnesses or identify the perpetrator at the scene? Why do you have to wait until he is arrested before identifying his identity? It seems that Miss Xinye is not modest and is indeed not smart enough!"

Xin Ye was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead. He said angrily, "Is the criminal a fool? He came prepared, so why didn't he disguise himself?! If he had always stolen things openly and honestly, he would have been caught and imprisoned by the bailiffs long ago. How could such a series of thefts happen?"

As soon as Xinye finished speaking, he was stunned and instantly realized that he had said something wrong.

Su Feiran got the answer she wanted and praised with satisfaction: "This is really a good cooperation, Miss Xinye, I just like honest people like you."

At this point, everyone understood.

Even petty thieves wear masks for fear of being recognized, let alone criminals who intend to commit murder?

Hua Tangdi said that Su Feiran was well prepared when she committed the crime, but when Su Feiran committed the crime, she easily saw her face and recognized her identity. Isn't that too unreasonable? Could it be that the Purple Palace was so short of supplies that there was not even a piece of cloth to cover the face?

The "murderer Su Feiran" portrayed by Hua Tangdi was also extremely stupid. She knew that her true face was seen by Hua Tangdi, but she did nothing and let Hua Tangdi leave safely. This is even more unreasonable than committing the crime openly.

After Su Feiran said this, everyone looked at Hua Tangdi suspiciously. Could it be that she was really lying?

Hua Tangdi's face was extremely bad. She didn't even look at Xin Ye who was full of panic. She gritted her teeth and said to Su Feiran, "I didn't say you wanted to murder Concubine Wang. I'm afraid you don't have the courage to kill people wantonly in the palace. The reason why you didn't do anything to me is because you didn't dare to bear the responsibility of two lives!"

"Then tell me, Concubine Shuo, what does Liu Ronghua want to get by taking such a big risk?" Lin Xiuqing asked with a cold face.

"Of course it's Concubine Wang!" Hua Tangdi answered immediately, "As long as Liu Ronghua pushes Concubine Wang into the water and then rescues her to shore, she can create the illusion that she is Concubine Wang's savior! Then, Concubine Wang will be grateful or in love with her!"

"Outrageous..." Su Feiran couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Oh, Liu Ronghua, why don't you explain to me why you kissed Concubine Wang while wearing only your underwear and let her rest her head on your legs?" Hua Tangdi sneered and asked fiercely, "I have heard that you two have had a grudge. If you did that, it means you either admire her or you want to humiliate her!"

The more you talk, the more confusing it becomes.

Su Feiran looked at Hua Tangdi with strange eyes, thinking that if she lived in modern times, she might be a lady who was keen on writing lesbian novels.

Wang Qian felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, so she lowered her head, secretly blaming Concubine Shuo for speaking too bluntly.

Su Feiran was not afraid of Hua Tangdi's accusations. If she hadn't done it, then she hadn't done it. No matter how outrageous Hua Tangdi's fabrications were, she hadn't done it.

She wanted to have a good relationship with Wang Qian, but that was because she didn't want Wang Qian to misunderstand her again. It was far from the scale that Hua Tangdi said.

To be honest, Hua Tangdi is very open-minded.

"I really cannot accept your malicious speculations, Empress Shuo. Concubine Wang is His Majesty's woman, and I am also His Majesty's woman. If I have any improper thoughts about Concubine Wang, wouldn't that be a violation of human ethics?"

Su Feiran faced Qin Fengan, his eyes flashing with righteousness, and he said righteously,

"I have kept myself clean and chaste, and everyone in the back garden has seen it. Your Majesty should rest assured about me! When I arrived, Concubine Wang had already sunk into the deep water of Chengxin Lake. The water of Chengxin Lake is deep and muddy, and there are many annoying aquatic plants growing underwater. I risked my life to save Concubine Wang, not out of lust. Concubine Wen spied on the so-called affair, but after I rescued Concubine Wang to the shore, I found that she had choked on water and lost consciousness and breathing. I was afraid that the imperial physician would be late and Concubine Wang would die, so I first rescued her and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration."

Yu Xiao added with tears in her eyes: "After the master came ashore, he was exhausted, so he ordered me to use the skills from my hometown to press Wang Guiren's chest, so that Wang Guiren was able to expel the lake water from her body. However, even if the master explained it in detail, I could not understand the key points of artificial respiration. Fortunately, the master recovered some strength and personally rescued Wang Guiren, which saved her from danger and kept her alive until the imperial physician arrived. If you say that the master did all this and almost lost his life just to do something improper to Wang Guiren, or to expect to be thanked by someone, it would be too biased!"

After she finished speaking, the tears that had been welling up in Yuxiao's eyes fell at a very timely moment. Seeing this, everyone felt sad and gradually accepted her statement.

Liu Ronghua is clearly a hero who risked his own life to help others in times of crisis, so how could he be criticized by so many people!

Perhaps it was because Concubine Shuo saw that Liu Ronghua was favored that she wanted to blame him!

Wang Qian had been watching the debate between the two sides. At this moment, she looked at Su Feiran's upright face and felt a little aggrieved, and the balance in her heart began to waver.

Could it be that Liu Ronghua really didn't do anything bad to me? She actually really wanted to save me?

They clearly had a feud before, so why would she do this even at the risk of her life?

Could it be that I really wronged her?
