Sun Qiong was forced to swallow the fruit. He quickly shook off Yi Mobao and reached out to scratch his throat.

Seeing Sun Qiong retching but not vomiting anything, Yi Qianhuan stared at him and said, "Sun Qiong, tell everyone that there is nothing wrong between you and me."

"No, no! There is no innocence between you and me. You are my daughter...ah!" Before Sun Qiong finished speaking, a piercing pain spread throughout his body. He fell to the ground and twitched continuously. "It hurts! Why does it hurt so much? Ah!"

"My mother is a master of mysticism. She has a precious destiny. If you dare to frame my mother, the punishment you receive will naturally be heavier than that of ordinary people. Sun Qiong, you'd better tell the truth quickly, otherwise your situation will only get worse!" Yi Mobao warned.

Sun Qiong felt as if a thousand needles were stabbing him all over his body. He cried out with a sad face, "I said! There is nothing innocent between Yi Qianhuan and me. I am not the father of the child! Someone ordered me to do it! Otherwise, how could I have the guts to frame the wife of the prince? The person who framed me is also here. He is... um!"

Before he could say the man's name, a piece of yellow paper flew over and sealed his mouth. Sun Qiong tried for a long time but couldn't make any sound.

Seeing this scene, the whole audience was in an uproar!

"Oh my god, this guy is so mean! Doesn't he know how important a woman's reputation is?"

"How big of a grudge does the person behind this plot have against the Crown Prince's wife? He actually came up with such a vicious plan!"

"In my opinion, no matter whether it is Sun Qiong or the people behind the scenes, they all deserve to die!"

Listening to the people's chattering, the hairs on Helian Xiujin's back trembled.

Although Sun Qiong was silenced before he confessed that he was the one behind the incident, his image would be completely ruined if others knew that he was the one behind it.

However, although Sun Qiong did not reveal Helian Xiu Jin, he was twisting on the ground at this time, looking at Helian Xiu Jin with pleading eyes.

Yi Qianhuan shook his sleeves and glanced at Helian Xiujin calmly: "This man's trick was exposed, but he didn't want to get away. Instead, he kept looking at the prince. I wonder what he meant?"

"I don't know this person, and I don't know what he's thinking. He might even want to sow discord within our mansion!" Helian Xiujin forced himself to calm down, and pretended to look at Yi Qianhuan calmly, "But I didn't believe his nonsense from the beginning. Madam, don't be provoked by him!"

Yi Qianhuan sealed Sun Qiong's mouth to prevent him from talking too much, which should have been a good thing for him.

But for some reason, he always felt that Yi Qianhuan would not let this matter go easily. If he let her capture Sun Qiong, it would definitely bring him more trouble.

After Yi Qianhuan signaled Liuli to tie up Sun Qiong, he looked deeply at Helian Xiujin and raised his red lips: "I have important things to deal with now. When I come back after I finish my business, I will go to see the prince and we can discuss how to deal with Sun Qiong."

Helian Xiujin's breathing tightened, he looked at Yi Qianhuan and opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

When Qin Zifu saw this, he looked into the carriage in confusion.

Originally, he thought Ji Chilian wanted to embarrass him, so she brought him here to eat some fruit.

But now it seems that Ji Chilian has no intention of making things difficult for him. Instead, it seems that she came for Yi Qianhuan.

Qin Zifu had heard some rumors before, and she couldn't understand what was so special about the Crown Prince's wife that could make Ji Chilian, a man with a benign appearance but a beastly heart, so interested in her.

Qin Zifu couldn't figure this out for the time being and didn't want to dwell on it. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Yi Qianhuan's voice.

"Master Qin, please stay." Yi Qianhuan looked at everyone present and said loudly: "Today, I have something I want to ask you for help. I originally wanted to go to my third uncle's house today because I have been having the same dream since a month ago. I dreamed that my father appeared in front of me covered in blood, crying and saying that he died unjustly! My father, Duke Yi, followed the late emperor to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and made countless military exploits. He narrowly escaped death many times on the battlefield!"

The woman's voice was clear and powerful.

"Eight years ago, my second elder brother died on the battlefield! Seven years ago, my mother sacrificed herself to protect the people at the border! Six years ago, my father and brother were ambushed by the enemy during a battle at the Xiye border. My father was seriously injured, and my eldest elder brother has been missing and his whereabouts are still unknown!"

"Later, my father was sent back to the capital to recuperate. A few days later, he died of his injuries!"

"I am the only orphan left in the Duke of Yi's Mansion! I don't want my father to die in obscurity! I think you all, too, don't want the heroic spirit to suffer injustice!"

"So I hope you can go with me to my third uncle's house to meet my grandmother. She should know some hidden secrets. When the time comes, I need you to witness the truth!"

As Yi Qianhuan finished speaking, many people's eyes turned red.

They all admired the Duke of Italy.

Originally, the Duke of Yi was injured on the battlefield. When the previous emperor was in power, he gave the Duke of Yi a grace. If he did not want to go to the battlefield, no one could force him. He could be granted the title of prince and be protected by the royal family for the rest of his life.

But Duke Yi refused the grace, because their Yunzhao territory taken by Sheng Kingdom had not yet been recovered, and border wars were frequent.

Duke Yi said this in the court: "As long as the border is not peaceful, I, Yi He, will not be at peace. Protecting the Yunzhao territory is the duty of my Yi family. Even if there is only one person left in the Yi family, I am willing to sacrifice my life for this! To protect Yunzhao, I, Yi He, will never retreat, regret, or fear!"

These words spread from the palace and became widely circulated among the people.

And Yihe did what he said and really used his blood to protect Yun Zhao!

"I'm willing to help, Madam Crown Prince!" someone in the crowd said excitedly.

Other people also followed suit and expressed their willingness to go with Yi Qianhuan.

"Master Qin." Yi Qianhuan turned to face Qin Zifu, clasping his hands. "I want to seek justice for my father. Master Qin, please come with me to my third uncle's house. If Master Qin needs help in the future, I will definitely help you."

Qin Zifu's eyes flashed slightly, and she saw her former shadow in Yi Qianhuan.

At that time, Yi Qianhuan was bright and flamboyant, and was the number one female general of Yunzhao Kingdom.

He had seen Yi Qianhuan's vigorous and lively appearance before, so when he occasionally saw her trapped in love at palace banquets later, he felt extremely sorry in his heart.

And now, he suddenly felt as if Qianhuan had returned to his former high-spirited self.

"Okay, then I will go with you. But today's matter is just speculation. If the Crown Prince's wife cannot prove that everything you said is true today, then it is best not to mention this matter again in the future." Qin Zifu knew very well that the affairs of Duke Yi involved too many things. If Yi Qianhuan could prove that everything was as she said this time, it would be fine. But if she couldn't, there would be more trouble in the future.
