After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

When Princess Guangde walked along the winding corridor to the water pavilion, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

The queen sat in the first seat, looking at her with a smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

The other ladies also cast curious glances. In just a short while, they already knew almost everything about how the Queen's niece, Zeng Yulan, and the girl from the Mu family were secretly plotting to deal with Miss Yan from the second branch of the Changxing Marquis's Mansion.

Now that they saw Princess Guangde, they were all very curious about what Mu Fangwan had confessed and whether there was any information they had missed.

At this moment, Yan Qingwan's figure came out from another archway, attracting everyone's attention.

She had a graceful figure and walked slowly, her skirt fluttering like a blooming flower as she moved.

Yan Qingwan was just called away for questioning by two people around Princess Guangde.

As she walked to her seat and sat down, her eyes inadvertently swept across Princess Guangde who was standing not far away. Their eyes met in the air for a moment, and then quickly moved away.

With the arrival of Yan Qingwan, the atmosphere became more subtle.

Everyone kept guessing about Mu Fangwan and Yan Qingwan's actions today, and were also looking forward to how this matter would be handled.

Yan Qingwan's confession, Mu Fangwan's confession, and Zeng Yulan's confessions were brought to the queen by the palace maids. She picked them up and looked through them calmly.

After a while, the queen slowly put down the confession in her hand.

She nodded to Princess Guangde and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Princess Guangde heard this and said respectfully: "Mother, now things are very clear, aren't they?"

The queen nodded and remained silent after hearing this.

She really didn't expect that Zeng Yulan, such a brainless person, would do something bad and make it known to everyone.

Now that all the ladies below know about this, how will this situation end? ?

Seeing that the Queen remained silent for a long time, Madam Yan finally stood up from her seat and asked in a loud voice, "Queen, now that the matter has been investigated, why don't you just announce the results to the public and give an explanation to everyone and the younger generation of my family? To be honest, Qingwan was lucky today, otherwise who knows what would have happened to him."

The ladies around nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"Yes, this child was almost wrongly accused today. Fortunately, the Queen is able to see through everything!"

"That's right. If there is no evidence, Qingwan might be blamed."

The wife of the Minister of Justice at the table next to her also stood up, leaned slightly towards the Queen, and then said, "I also think what Old Madam Yan said makes sense. Qingwan is really blessed today, otherwise she would have suffered an unexpected disaster."

Soon after, the wife of Duke Zheng, the wife of Duke Wei, the wife of the Grand Tutor, the wife of the Minister of the Supreme Court… as long as they had some social connections with the Marquis of Changxing’s Mansion, all responded to Madam Yan’s words.

"Yes, Qingwan is such a well-behaved child. Why would the girl from the Zeng family do such a thing to her?"

"Fortunately, the Queen is wise and found out the truth of this incident, otherwise the child would have been too wronged."

"I hope the Queen can make the results public so that we can all know the truth."

For a moment, the ladies at the banquet expressed their opinions one after another, hoping that the queen would announce the results of the investigation.

Facing the expectant looks and compliments from everyone, the Queen sighed inwardly.

Especially when I thought about the stupid things Zeng Yulan had done, I was so angry that I felt my head starting to ache.

Just as she was struggling with her inner struggle, a deep and magnetic voice came from afar: "Since the queen mother is tired, let me handle this matter."

This voice was like a thunder, exploding in everyone's mind and blowing away the tense atmosphere at the banquet.

Everyone turned their heads and focused their eyes on the source of the sound.

Yan Qingwan, who was sitting lazily, felt her heart tighten. She was very familiar with this voice.

She quickly turned her head and saw a tall and straight figure appear at the door of the banquet hall.

He was still wearing the same robe, with an elegant temperament and a cold and majestic look between his eyebrows.

Si Jinchen strode into the banquet hall with steady and powerful steps. His eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could freeze the air around him.

He walked towards the queen with a sullen face, bowed respectfully first, then reached out and picked up the confession on the table in front of the queen, and then read it carefully, with no expression on his face.

Then he raised his head, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and scanned the people present.

When his eyes met Yan Qingwan's, the corners of his lips curled slightly, he nodded slightly, and then quickly looked away.

Then he coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

He said in a steady tone, "I understand that you ladies are concerned about this matter, so I will just tell you what I have verified."

After saying that, he continued: "After investigation, the general situation is that Mu Fangwan and Zeng Yulan originally planned to trick Miss Yan into a side hall in the west, and then... use some dirty tricks,

They framed Miss Yan in this way, but Miss Yan did not listen to them. Instead, she went directly to the lotus pond and took a boat, which led to the subsequent developments. "

Upon hearing the prince's personal confirmation, a noisy discussion broke out at the banquet.

"They actually want to frame Miss Yan. How can Miss Zeng and Miss Mu be so vicious?"

"He must be jealous of Miss Yan's beauty."

"No matter what the reason is, this behavior is truly abominable, and those who do such vicious things must be severely punished."

"Yes, yes. If we don't deal with it, who will dare to attend the banquet with the girls from the Zeng family and the Mu family in the future? They will be very worried."

"That makes sense."

When the queen heard all kinds of discussions from below, she took a deep breath and suppressed her temper, so as not to leave the table in anger.

Madam Yan looked at Si Jinchen with gratitude and thanked him excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for restoring Qingwan's innocence."

Yan Qingwan also stood up and bowed to Si Jinchen to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Si Jinchen nodded to Old Madam Yan first, then looked at Yan Qingwan, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of doting: "Miss Yan, I just look down on people who do bad things behind the scenes, you don't have to be so polite."

Then, he looked at everyone and said loudly: "Now that this matter has been investigated, should the Zeng family and the Mu family give Miss Yan an explanation?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the faces of the people from the Mu and Zeng families one by one.

Then he looked at the queen, and said in a sharp tone: "Mother, what do you think?"

The queen's expression was a little ugly at this time, but she still said with a stiff upper lip: "Of course it should be so."

Si Jinchen nodded and continued, "Mother, how do you think we should deal with this?"

The queen gritted her teeth, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and forced a smile: "I think... he should be severely punished."

As soon as these words fell, the wife of the Zeng family stood up, looked at the queen with an unhappy expression, and said loudly: "Queen, Yulan was indeed at fault first, but Miss Yan is also fine, isn't she? I think the handling of this matter is really exaggerated."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zeng in shock, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
