"You are lying! Why did Wei Jinghe know that Wei Zhiying was in Yunzhou?" Chu Xingyue said angrily.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, as far as I know, the Wei family has a teahouse and a silk shop in Yunzhou, and Young Master Wei goes there every month. It is not difficult to see Miss Wei there. Maybe Young Master Wei saw that Miss Wei was like his own sister, so he felt more intimate with her, so he called her Zhiying. Miss Wei was hit on the head by me again, and she forgot about the past. It is normal for her to get close to someone who treats her well." Xia Taoyuan said.

After saying that, she pretended to be tired and couldn't kneel steadily, so she pulled Wei Zhiying and pinched her palm. She just hoped that Wei Zhiying could understand what she meant and do what she said.

Emperor Ying sneered: "How courageous! Wei Mingcheng, do you know your crime?" He naturally didn't believe it. He believed that Wei Mingcheng must know about this, so he wanted to trick him.

Xia Taoyuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I planned this all by myself. I was greedy for wealth and fame, and I was so crazy that I pretended to be Miss Wei. This is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with Prime Minister Wei!"

"Shut up! I didn't tell you to speak!" Emperor Ying said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know about this. I only just realized now that Princess Jing is not my Ying'er, and I only now realized how much suffering my Ying'er has endured." Wei Mingcheng said as he walked tremblingly towards Wei Zhiying.

"Father!" Chu Xingluo was also panicked at this moment. He couldn't get a word in. Taotao had already outlined a story, and Taotao had completely excluded him from this story. He was afraid of saying something wrong and messing up Taotao's story.

"What's your real name? What's your relationship with Nanfeng, a relative of Nanzhu?" Emperor Ying's face was as cold as ice.

"My name is Xia Taoyuan. I have nothing to do with Qi Nanfeng. I only know him because Prince Jing is familiar with him." Xia Taoyuan felt relieved after telling the secret that had been buried in her heart.

"What's your name?" Emperor Ying asked Wei Zhiying again.

"I forgot. Because my husband's last name is Xia, others call me Madam Xia. I have a brother who often gives me things. He said I look like his sister. His sister's name is Zhiying, so when he sees me he calls me Zhiying too." Wei Zhiying raised her face and said innocently. She really looked like someone who had forgotten the past. Wei Mingcheng's palms were sweating.

"Come here, take this Xia Taoyuan to the Ministry of Justice's Heavenly Prison!" Emperor Ying said sternly.

"Father, no!" Chu Xingluo knelt in front of Emperor Ying. He couldn't tell the truth. If he told the truth, Xia Taoyuan would definitely not forgive him. After all, she would rather sacrifice herself to get the Wei family out.

"Father, you cannot believe her one-sided story. Wei Mingcheng is not unrelated to this matter. Although I have not found out why this woman pretended to be Wei Zhiying, Wei Mingcheng must know about this! I am sure he has deceived you. Also, my third brother must know about this. Father, this matter must not be tolerated!" Chu Xingyue said anxiously. He did not expect Xia Taoyuan to be so brave and take on everything.

A dozen guards came in from outside the palace, four of them surrounded Chu Xingluo, and the rest took Xia Taoyuan away.

Chu Xingluo watched Xia Taoyuan being taken away. Even though he knew that he was not allowed to take action in the Golden Palace, he still fought with the four guards. However, he was no match for four people and was subdued after a while.

Emperor Ying was extremely angry. This Xia Taoyuan had caused trouble more than once. It was really hateful! But at this moment, he was also extremely disappointed with Chu Xingluo, who was so bold as to take action in the Golden Palace. "Take Prince Jing to Guanghan Palace. You are not allowed to let him out without my permission!" Guanghan Palace in the imperial palace was where the princes and princesses were imprisoned.

Emperor Ying was afraid that Chu Xingluo would rescue Xia Taoyuan at all costs, so he wanted to release him after the matter was investigated, and locked him up for a few days to prevent him from causing trouble.

After the court session, the ministers left one after another. Chu Xingyue was about to say something when she was pulled out by Huai Wang Chu Xingchen. Wei Mingcheng went forward to pull Wei Zhiying up, but when he saw that the emperor had no intention of keeping him, he left too.

"Your Majesty, please go back!" Eunuch Liu walked in front of Emperor Ying. The ministers had all left for a while, but Emperor Ying was still sitting there.

"Alas, I had wanted to formally enthrone him on the ninth day of September, and let him learn how to be a monarch in the next two years, and then I would feel at ease to abdicate. I didn't expect that he, who is the least troublesome on weekdays, is the one who causes the most trouble." There was deep helplessness in Emperor Ying's voice.

"This matter..." Eunuch Liu wanted to say that Prince Jing must know about this, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud.

"The third brother should have known about this a long time ago. Not only him, but old Wei Mingcheng must also know about it." Emperor Ying actually knew what Eunuch Liu was going to say.

"Then how will the emperor deal with this?"

"What can I do? Although Wei Mingcheng has some problems, he has devoted all his energy to the North Vietnam and is loyal to me. If he really knew the truth and deceived me, how can I bear to punish him? I won't investigate anymore. If we really find out something and cause a big uproar in the city, it will not end well. I will let the old guy come later and I will force him to tell the truth." After saying this, Emperor Ying took a sip of tea.

"What about Princess Jing?" Eunuch Liu asked tentatively in a low voice.

"She? Do you believe what she said?" Emperor Ying looked at Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu shook his head.

"Look at her sharp tongue, cunning and waywardness, and her ability to stir up trouble even when she is unreasonable. Do you believe that she has been wandering and begging since she was a child? Humph! She has such a bad temper, how did the third child fall into her trap?" Emperor Ying's eyes were full of disgust, but he was obviously not that angry anymore.

Eunuch Liu burst out laughing: "Princess Jing has a stubborn and even bad temper, but fortunately she has a kind character. It can be seen from today's incident that she is very responsible. She must have taken on everything in order to avoid punishment for Prime Minister Wei."

"Isn't she capable? Let her stay in jail for a while longer this time, let her suffer a little and dampen her arrogance, otherwise she will really become lawless." Emperor Ying snorted.

"It's just a pity for King Xuan, who thought he could give it a try this time since he had the evidence in his hand." Eunuch Liu also sighed.

"Why should we pity him? If he comes to power, all my sons will be killed by him within five years!" Emperor Ying raised his voice.

"Aren't you afraid of being criticized for favoring Prince Jing?" Eunuch Liu asked with a smile.

"Whoever wants to say it can say it, I can't hear it." Emperor Ying stroked his beard.

Outside the palace, Long Yan and Qing Yun heard Chu Xinghai say that their master was imprisoned in Guanghan Palace by the emperor and the princess was taken to the Ministry of Justice's Sky Prison. They stamped their feet in anxiety.

It was impossible to rescue Chu Xingluo in Guanghan Palace, as they could not get in. It was not easy to rescue the princess in Tianlao either. Tianlao was the highest prison in Yue State, where serious criminals were held. The problem was that even if they could rescue her, they could not afford the charge of prison robbery. There was a law in North Vietnam: Anyone who robbed Tianlao would be killed without mercy, no matter the robber or the robbed!

Both of them were so upset that their heads exploded, but they couldn't think of a good solution. They had no choice but to return to the palace and wait for news.

Prime Minister Wei's Mansion.

When Wei Zhiying saw Madam Wei, she threw herself into her arms and cried. On the one hand, she finally returned to her long-cherished home and saw her loved ones. On the other hand, she felt deeply guilty. If she had not been discovered by Chu Xingyue, Miss Xia would not have been imprisoned.

Wei Mingcheng sighed and said, "Ying'er, don't be sad. Miss Xia is a kind-hearted person. She has taken all the blame this time and has done her best for our Wei family. I will go to the emperor to explain the truth and ask him to release Miss Xia!" He was also in great pain. He wanted to tell the truth several times in the court, but he backed off when he saw his Ying'er and his little grandson. Between Xia Taoyuan and his own daughter, he chose his own daughter.

This is human nature. But seeing his daughter blaming herself, and thinking of Xia Taoyuan's determination for the Xiangfu, he felt that he was really sorry for Miss Xia. Miss Xia had helped the Xiangfu escape a disaster more than a year ago, and she shouldn't be put in danger again this time.
