Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

Mu Yingluo was still in a daze, "Mother, why are Shi Jin and Father coming to us?"

Shouldn't Shi Jin be being punished by his father in the palace now?

"Mu Yingluo, come here!"

At this moment, Mu Yuchuan had arrived.

When he saw Mu Yingluo and thought of what Qingdai said, he couldn't help but get angry.

Mu Yingluo was startled. Mu Yuchuan had never spoken to her in this tone before.

"Father, why are you here..."

"I ask you, do you recognize this bottle?"

The investigation results have not come out yet, but judging by Qingdai’s performance, it is highly likely that Mu Yingluo is not wrong.

What made Mu Yuchuan angry was that Mu Yingluo, at such a young age, could actually do such a vicious thing. She had always been innocent and naive before!

Besides, the means used this time were not very sophisticated, otherwise, how could Shi Jin have exposed it so easily!

"Father, what is this? I don't recognize it. It's probably just a bottle." It was the first time that Mu Yingluo was spoken to so harshly by Mu Yuchuan. She felt a little guilty.

"Really? Then I'll give you this reward. Open it and try it." Mu Yuchuan stared at Mu Yingluo.

Mu Yingluo picked up the bottle tremblingly and looked at Shangguan Yu for help. The thing in this bottle was a love potion. Not to mention whether it could be eaten, just opening it and smelling it for a while would make people aroused. If she really opened it, wouldn't she...

Shangguan Yu walked to Mu Yuchuan with a smile, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? You got so angry that you scared Yingluo. This child has always been timid, you know that, even if she doesn't know anything, she will still talk nonsense when the time comes."

"Open it." Mu Yuchuan did not indulge Mu Yingluo and Shangguan Yu. If they knew what was good for them, they could do whatever they wanted in the harem. But now, not only did they not do that, they also set their sights on him!!!

Mu Yuchuan got angry when he thought about this. He was so good to both mother and daughter. But how did they repay him?

Mu Yingluo couldn't bear it any longer and fell to her knees with a plop.

Mu Yuchuan snorted coldly, "What's wrong? Don't you know what's in here? Why don't you open it?"

"Father...your son..."

"Someone, help the Third Princess open it!"

“Father, don’t!” Mu Yingluo panicked. If she really opened it and became aroused in front of so many people, she would die!!!

"Father, father, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I admit that I found this thing in the servant's room. I didn't hand it over immediately after I found it. I asked my personal maid to deal with it. I didn't expect that this thing would fall into your hands today. But I swear, I really don't know how this thing got into your hands. I have thrown it away for a long time."

Mu Yingluo absolutely dared not admit that this thing was given to her by Shangguan Yu. If she admitted it, both of them would be doomed.

"Really?" Mu Yuchuan stared at Mu Yingluo.

She could give this explanation, but she'd better not let him find any other suspicious items!

"Yes! I swear!"

Mu Yingluo glanced at Shangguan Yu and became more determined. There was only one bottle of this thing, and it was brought by someone her mother had asked from outside. So if this bottle didn't fall into her hands, no one would ever know that this thing originally belonged to Shangguan Yu!

"Okay, I'll trust you for once."

"Your Majesty, since the Third Princess has said so, this matter is a big deal. Qingdai keeps saying that it was the Third Princess who gave the things to her. She also openly and secretly accused the Imperial Concubine of giving the things to the Third Princess, and instructing the Third Princess to give the things to Qingdai to frame her.

Now, from what the Third Princess said, there might be someone else behind this. Why not search the palace inside and out to see if there are any clues? By the way, call the concubines and all the maids, guards, and eunuchs in the harem to ask them. I think we will definitely find something."

"If Her Majesty the Queen wants to check, just go ahead." Shangguan Yu looked at the Queen arrogantly. She was sure that there was only one bottle of this thing. It was simply a fool's dream for Shi Jin to find something else from her.

Seeing Shangguan Yu's confidence, Mu Yuchuan also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Shangguan Yu was not stupid enough to keep any evidence, it would be fine.

an hour later

"Shangguan Yu! What do you have to explain!" Mu Yuchuan threw a box of things in front of Shangguan Yu. These things were indeed not solicitations, but they were records of transactions between Shangguan Yu and people outside.

Shangguan Yu's face turned pale. She never thought that this group of people would be able to find her secret compartment. Her secret compartment was obviously hidden very secretly. How could this group of people find it?

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

These things are not just about love potions, there are also records of the flow of some contraband items. As for where these contraband items were used? Mu Yuchuan didn't want to know, but he only knew that Shangguan Yu secretly transported these things in the harem without his consent. If this wasn't a slap in his face, what was it?

"Someone, come! Drag the imperial concubine out and give her 20 lashes! And keep her under house arrest for three months!"

"Father! Father, don't do that! 20 lashes, Mother will die!" Mu Yingluo didn't understand. Was it even more excessive than the love potion? Father was being too inhumane.

"Father, didn't you keep saying that you loved Mother? You obviously loved Mother the most, so why did you hit her? Are you saying that you don't love Meng Fei at all, you only love your throne."

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap was heard, and Mu Yingluo's face was knocked to the side. She looked at Mu Yuchuan in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that her father, who loved her the most, actually beat her for a bitch today!

Mu Yingluo didn't think there was anything wrong with her speaking up for her mother. She just felt that Mu Yuchuan was beating her just because of that bitch Shi Jin.

"I think I've spoiled you all these years and have spoiled you!!!"

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess is sixteen now, and you have granted her a marriage. If she continues to speak out like this, it will damage the reputation of the royal family. It would be better for me to hire a nanny to educate the Third Princess before she gets married."

Shi Jin spoke at the right time. She had not forgotten how the Queen Mother and the Shangguan family colluded to trick her when she married into the palace.

Now she was just following suit.

Mu Yingluo exploded upon hearing this, "I don't want your invitation!!! I didn't do anything wrong, it was you, your bitch, who bewitched people and made my father punish my mother. When my father wakes up, you will be in big trouble!"
