Just as Yun Chang was about to leave, a loud shout came from outside the door: "The Princess has arrived!"

The old women and servants all knelt down.

Yun Shang and Ning Xue looked at each other and knelt down. They both knew that it would be difficult for Master Shangguan to hide.

Maybe later on, they will compete to see who is better at shirking responsibility.

The dignified and elegant eldest princess walked in, wearing a dark red dress and a golden and jade crown on her head.

The servant brought a comfortable and luxurious chair and the princess sat down.

"The poetry gathering in the front yard was very lively. I didn't expect that the inner yard would be so noisy as well."

"What on earth happened?"

The old woman stepped forward and told the whole story in detail.

The princess pointed at Yun Shang and said, "You, which family are you from? I have never seen you before. Who gave you the invitation?"

Yunchang took out the invitation from her bosom and presented it with both hands, "Your servant, Yunchang, greets the princess."

"My father is Yun Zhongtang."

The eldest princess nodded, took the note, read it, and then returned it.

"Call the princess." The eldest princess instructed the maid beside her, and the maid left.

"Yun Zhongtang, is that the Censor Yun?"

"It's my father."

"Go back."

Yun Shang quietly stepped aside, but from time to time she stole glances at the eldest princess, seeming uneasy.

The eldest princess must be around 40 years old, right? She has taken such good care of herself that her skin is still as white, tender and smooth as that of a young girl. People in the royal family are really well versed in the art of health preservation.

It’s just that his temperament is quite mature, giving people a sense of majesty without even getting angry.

"Ning Xue, is this lounge yours?"

"Yes, Princess."

“Who arranged the lounge?”

The old woman stepped forward and said, "Princess, it was the princess who ordered that she give Miss Ning Xue her handkerchief and ask for a rest room closer to the inner courtyard door."

The eldest princess nodded and the old woman left.

Ning Xue was still standing in front of the eldest princess, feeling anxious and uneasy.

She had asked the princess to send Yunchang's post. She only wanted to take this opportunity to frame Yunchang and had not considered the princess's subsequent pursuit.

She could appear with a legitimate reason, but Yun Shang could not. No one in the entire Princess's Mansion knew Yun Shang, and this plot had flaws. The more Ning Xue thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her palms were sweating.

Not to mention whether to search the room, if she continues to be interrogated like this, she will soon find it difficult to justify herself. What should she do?

Everything she does will be exposed!

A bright and beautiful woman in a pink dress walked in. "Mother, why did you call me here?"

The princess pointed at Yunshang and said, "Yu'er, do you know her?"

The woman named Yu'er shook her head.

"If you don't know her, why did you post to her?"

"Oh!" After being reminded, she remembered that Ning Xue had asked her to post to an unknown person, "She is Yun Shang?"

Yun Chang looked up and smiled at Princess Yu'er.

"Ms. Ning, why do you want to post to her?" asked the eldest princess.

"Ning Xue wanted to make another friend, so I posted it. Besides, she is the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Mother, it should be okay to post it."

Yun Shang looked at Ning Xue thoughtfully. This eldest princess was indeed powerful. With just a few words, she made the heroine exposed.

"Yun Shang, do you know Ning Xue?"

"Princess, I don't know him and have never seen him before."

"Ning Xue, what about you?"

"Princess, I asked Princess Yu'er to post this message because I wanted to make more friends. I was reckless." Ning Xue said hurriedly. At this moment, her palms were full of sweat.

"You are indeed reckless. If you want to get to know her, you can do so at any time. Even if you just send a letter and visit her, why choose this place and this time?" The eldest princess said coldly.

Ning Xue lowered her head, sweating profusely, "Yes, I was confused."

"Yu'er, you can go to the poetry gathering now." The princess turned to Princess Yu'er and said, "As the host, how can you not be there?"

"But..." Yu'er looked at Ning Xue. She felt that Ning Xue seemed to need her help.

"Go!" The eldest princess's majestic voice came, and Yu'er didn't dare to stay any longer. She left immediately, giving Ning Xue a helpless look before leaving.

"Yun Shang, since this is Ning Xue's room, why are you here?"

"Princess, I was knocked unconscious and woke up in this room." Yun Shang answered cautiously. She didn't dare to hide anything. Perhaps the princess could do justice for her.

"Is there any evidence?"

"I still have a hard bump on the back of my head from being knocked unconscious."

The eldest princess gave a look and the old woman went forward to check. She soon found a hard lump and nodded to the eldest princess.

Ning Xue was a little unsteady on her feet. The eldest princess was very observant and she was afraid that she would not be able to get away with what happened today. Even if she wanted to put the blame on Yun Shang, it would be impossible.

The princess looked at Xiao Tao, whose face was swollen, and asked, "Did she say that a man entered the inner courtyard?"

"Princess, that's right. It was all because of my carelessness and incompetence. Please punish me." The old woman stood up and took the responsibility. The matter should have been handled quietly, but she was the one who messed it up.

At this moment, everyone had figured out what had happened, even the dumbest servants understood it.

Miss Ning Xue asked Princess Yu'er to send a message to Miss Yun. When Miss Yun arrived, she was knocked unconscious and placed in Miss Ning Xue's room. Then Xiao Tao said there was a man in the room and asked everyone to search the room. It goes without saying that this was a conspiracy to deliberately target and frame Miss Yun.

What if there really is a man hiding in this room right now?

Is the reputation of Miss Yun really ruined?

Miss Ning Xue is so vicious that she framed a stranger she had never met before. She is so vicious.

For a moment, the servants looked at Ning Xue with eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"Sell this gossipy girl."

The princess gave the order coldly.

The old woman came forward, stuffed a handkerchief into Xiaotao's mouth, and dragged her out of the door.

The eldest princess glanced around the room and her eyes stopped on the wardrobe.

If you want to hide a man, this wardrobe is the only place in the whole house that can accommodate him.

The eldest princess glanced at the wet nurse beside her, and the wet nurse understood.

Walking towards the closet, Ning Xue's heart suddenly began to tighten. If Prince Shangguan was really hiding in this closet, then she would definitely not be able to escape the charge of framing him.

Maybe this time she won't even have the hope of becoming the Crown Prince's consort. Maybe the eldest princess will be so angry that she can only be a concubine.

Ning Xue calmed herself down and was not afraid. She still had a father and a brother, and they would definitely not let her be a concubine.

Ning Xue glanced at Yun Shang quietly.

Compared to Ning Xue, Yun Shang was much calmer. What else could she do now that things had come to this? The worst outcome she could think of was that she and Ning Xue would become equal wives.

However, there can only be one Crown Prince's Consort. In terms of status and position, Yun Shang is much lower than hers. But this matter was designed by Ning Xue. Theoretically speaking, there is no difference between the two.

Now that's a big deal. If she and Ning Xue were to marry into the palace together, the palace would probably be in turmoil because of the two of them.

This day is truly wonderful.

Yun Shang thought in self-abandonment.

Unexpectedly, after the nanny opened the closet, she had a slightly strange expression on her face and shook her head, saying, "Princess, this closet is empty, it's just too dirty. This maid must have been lazy and didn't clean this closet. I'll teach her a lesson later."

Hey! Yun Shang felt very strange. She had just stared at Master Shangguan for a few seconds, so how come he disappeared?

Is there a secret passage in the closet?

After Prince Shangguan woke up, he left first?
