The ladies and young ladies blocking the door heard the sound and consciously moved to both sides, leaving a path.

The eldest princess walked in slowly. Her bright red dress made her look domineering, like the sun in the sky, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at her. A long string of maids followed her, highlighting her royal majesty.

When everyone saw that it was the eldest princess, they all knelt down and said, "Greetings to the eldest princess."

The eldest princess glanced at the people around her, walked to the main seat and sat down. The little maid beside her came forward to help her tidy up her dress.

The originally spacious room suddenly became a bit crowded, but no one dared to say anything.

"Alright, get up. I just arrived and saw all these people. What are you doing here at this hour instead of sleeping?"

Everyone stood up, and Madam Qiao stood in the middle and replied, "Princess, it's like this. The Duke's son showed up at Miss Chu's room in the middle of the night and was discovered. Someone said Miss Chu had made an appointment with him."

“But when we came in, we didn’t see Miss Chu. She said she couldn’t sleep in the new place, so she took the little maid out to get some fresh air.”

The Grand Princess looked at Chu Ci meaningfully and snorted coldly. No one knew what the Grand Princess meant.

"Then what is the note you are talking about for?" The eldest princess clenched the note in her hand and looked at Chu Ci with an unfriendly look.

Madam Qiao also noticed that the eldest princess seemed to have some opinions about Chu Ci, and she couldn't help but go over the words she was about to say twice in her mind.

"Prince Rong said that Miss Chu wrote a note to him, but he couldn't produce it." Mrs. Qiao glanced at the note in the eldest princess's hand and felt that something was wrong.

Xiaoci is not supposed to lie, so what about the note in the eldest princess's hand?

Mrs. Qiao thought of this, glanced at Chu Ci, and signaled her to be careful.

The eldest princess nodded in understanding and handed the note to the maid beside her. "I found this at the door just now. Take a look."

After everyone had passed it around and read it, the eldest princess continued, "I think this is the note you're talking about. What do you think?"

The eldest princess made a final decision and swept her cold eyes over the place. All the wives and daughters of the officials lowered their heads.

Mrs. Qiao wanted to say something, but Chu Ci shook her head. The eldest princess had already warned her, and if Mrs. Qiao still wanted to step forward, she would be implicated.

Everyone was silent, and the eldest princess turned her attention to Chu Ci again. "How about this, bring over the handwriting written by Miss Chu, and we'll know if it's her handwriting when we compare it."

The eldest princess waved her hand, and the little maid walked straight to the table and handed over a few scriptures that Chu Ci had copied when she was bored, which she felt were good.

The eldest princess paired the two items in her hands, glanced at Chu Ci with the corner of her eye, and a sly smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it quickly disappeared.

"You guys take a look at it too, and don't accuse me of being unfair later." The eldest princess handed the two pieces of paper to the little maid beside her. The little maid took them and showed them in front of everyone, then quickly took them back.

The note read, Brother Yu, Xiaoci will be waiting for you tonight.

"Chu Ci, please come out and explain this matter clearly." The eldest princess slowly walked to Chu Ci's side and threw the note over Chu Ci's head.

Chu Ci looked at the note on the ground with a bit of anger on her face, but the words were exactly the same as hers.

She was not angry because she felt wronged, but because she felt that the eldest princess was insulting her in front of so many people.

Chu Ci clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and said with a faint smile, "Princess, I can only say that this was not written by me."

The eldest princess circled around Chu Ci, snorted coldly, and sat back in her seat, "Really? Didn't Mrs. Qiao just say that she wanted witnesses and evidence? Now the evidence is complete."

Everyone standing aside understood that it was obvious that the eldest princess wanted to punish Chu Ci, but Miss Chu seldom went out before, so it was impossible for her to offend the eldest princess.

Chu Ci looked at the eldest princess and was also very puzzled. She really had not offended the eldest princess.

"Since Prince Rong and Miss Chu Ci of the Chu family are in love with each other, I will immediately go to my father to grant them a marriage. As for the two of you, follow me back to the palace now."

The guards behind the eldest princess immediately stepped forward, locked Chu Ci and Prince Rong with their hands behind their backs, and escorted them out, not giving anyone time to react.

The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Then I'll trouble the Princess with this matter. The Marquis' Mansion will definitely thank the Princess in the future."

Chu Ci wanted to speak up to defend herself, but the nanny beside the eldest princess directly covered Chu Ci's mouth, and no one else dared to speak.

The eldest princess took her people and walked out. The longer the night, the more troubles she would have. It would be better to just do it.

Chu Ci and Mrs. Qiao were both very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Chu Ci looked at the Marquis' wife Yue Niang, and seeing that she was very happy, a crystal tear fell from her eyes.

"Stop! What are you doing? The temple is a quiet place, how can you make such a noise here?" King Rui strode in with his men.

He put his hands behind his back, walked to Chu Ci's side, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the two guards who were holding Chu Ci with cold eyes.

"Chop off their hands!" Prince Rui said lightly, as if it was just an unimportant statement.

Lin Fengtou glanced at his master and immediately protected him. It seemed that his master had a special feeling for Miss Chu.

If the situation continues to develop like this, it won't be long before their Prince Rui's Mansion will have a new mistress.

The two guards were stunned. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Prince Rui, who had already walked over to the chair and sat down, begging for mercy. "Your Highness, Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life."

Prince Rui picked up the kettle on the table, slowly poured himself a glass of water, drank all the water in the glass, and threw the quilt out.

Everyone thought that the unlucky ones were the two guards who were kowtowing on the ground, but they didn't expect that the one who was injured was Lin Feng.

Prince Rui suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, "What? Didn't you hear me? If your ears are useless, cut them off."

Lin Feng quickly brought his men and captured the two guards in the yard, and cut off their hands in front of everyone.

Screams were heard one after another, and soon the sounds disappeared completely.

Everyone looked at Chu Ci and then at King Rui. Are they really not related?

The eldest princess walked over to sit opposite Prince Rui, subconsciously keeping a certain distance and sitting down calmly, "Brother Rui, what do you mean by this?"

Prince Rui snorted coldly, "Princess Jingle wants evidence, doesn't she? I'll give it to you."
