After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

When the banquet was halfway through and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Princess Jiarong made a gesture to the guards around her.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a graceful and charming demeanor suddenly rushed in and knelt weakly at the feet of Princess Jiarong.

[System, the show is about to begin.] Qi Mingze looked at the scene in front of him, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

Princess Jiarong did not disappoint him. Her action ability was no less than those decisive men.

[Ah, what's going on? Is this banquet prepared for this person?]

The system didn't understand. The heavily guarded palace allowed a mere woman to break in so easily. This really slapped the faces of countless guards.

[I won't spoil the story, but this is definitely from the perspective of the heroine of a cool novel.]

Qi Mingze continued to keep the suspense, which aroused the system's desire to watch to the extreme.

When the system left, they had arranged everything. Look, the actors and the audience are already in place.

Just waiting for the show to begin!

"My Lady, please let my daughter go."

Hua Yuefu showed an expression of both fear and fearlessness, and firmly requested the elegant woman on the high seat.

Many guests, especially the male guests, felt a little bit of sympathy for the beautiful woman.

Some young girls who were not very worldly-wise also showed sympathy on their faces.

However, some mistresses who were well versed in the art of keeping a house in the harem saw through some of the tricks and showed a bit of disdain in their eyes.

"Where did this crazy woman come from? How dare she break into the palace and slander the princess here?

Come, arrest her and interrogate her thoroughly."

Meng Qingwan, the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rui's Mansion, glanced at her parents-in-law who remained expressionless, then stood up and questioned them, acting like a hostess.

Although she didn't like her sister-in-law who was always superior to the prince, after all, the family shared the same fate.

This woman clearly wanted to embarrass the palace, and she couldn't let this farce continue.

However, she was too young and didn't know that the more she suppressed them, the more it would arouse people's rebelliousness and desire to protect them.

So as soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and shouted at her.

"Your Rui Palace is truly arrogant and openly oppresses the people.

If you arrest someone without reason today, I will report you to the Emperor tomorrow."

The person he loved didn't choose him, but chose his mortal enemy Jun Xunian.

Prince Guo turned love into hate and had long regarded Prince Rui and his wife as thorns in his side.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, how can he not seize it?

Moreover, the beauty looked weak and tearful, which moved him to pity.

With the two things happening at the same time, he couldn't just sit back and watch. Anyway, he would be happy if he could make Jun Xunian, the old man, unhappy.

"Your Highness." Princess Guojun tried to stop her husband, but he pushed her away.

He helped up the beautiful woman who was kneeling on the ground crying alone and spoke to her gently.

"If you have any grievances, just speak up and I will take care of it for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hua Yuefu bowed gracefully, and I looked around with pity.

Then he told the story in a tearful tone.

"I am Hua Yuefu, a woman with a daughter. Yesterday, a group of people suddenly broke into my home.

They said that the little girl seduced the Marquis of Huainan and became pregnant, so they came to capture her on the orders of Princess Jiarong.

……

My daughter has been missing for a day now, and I really have no idea what to do.

I can only come and beg the princess to show mercy and release my daughter."

Hua Yuefu recounted yesterday's events in a truncated manner.

He even singled himself and his daughter out of the issue and directed the conflict directly towards Princess Jiarong.

She had three purposes for this trip. First, she wanted to save her daughter by taking advantage of the fact that there were more people and the palace would not dare to do anything to her.

The second is to destroy Princess Jiarong's reputation in front of the major families and pave the way for her daughter's future.

The third one forced the Marquis of Huainan to recognize his daughter and the child in her belly.

As a skinny girl who was trained since childhood, she always knew how to arouse men's interest and catch everyone's attention.

After this round of singing, practicing and acting, just as she expected, some people have begun to support her, a weak woman who has lost her beloved daughter.

But could things really go as she wished? That was absolutely impossible.

"You bold madwoman, how dare you slander the princess and defame my friendship for her.

Come, drive this woman out for me."

The Marquis of Huainan pretended to be worried about the princess but was actually just watching the show, but the fire ended up burning him.

How did the princess know Xirou, and why did she send people to capture her? Shouldn't she be exhausted from looking for her daughter and have no time for anything else?

Could it be that she knew about that? No.

He couldn't panic. Without any evidence, no one would suspect him.

The most important thing now is to get myself out of this situation. As for the two women, just coax them.

"My Lord, my daughter has given you her innocent body. How can you deny it?"

Hua Yuefu cried, looking incredulous.

Of course, this was also an act, as the daughter was able to seduce the Marquis of Huainan.

She knew that this man was not a handsome man at all, but a complete hypocrite.

But her current goal was not to expose him.

"I never thought that the Marquis of Huainan, who claims to love his wife as his life, could be such a hypocritical person."

"It's not as good as us playboys being frank. After all, we are decent people who take concubines and visit brothels.

Unlike him, he even has a mistress."

"..."

Some dandies who were dissatisfied with the Marquis of Huainan's innocent behavior began to talk about it, and others also followed suit with various suspicions.

"you……"

Seeing that the reputation he had built over the years was about to be ruined, Marquis Huainan wanted to reprimand her, but was interrupted by Princess Jiarong.

"I was the one who captured your daughter." Princess Jiarong said lightly.

However, her words were like a stick with sparks that ignited the entire situation.

"Alright, since Jiarong has admitted it, don't blame me for requesting Your Majesty to hand this matter over to the Imperial Clan Court for a detailed investigation."

Upon hearing this, Prince Guo was instantly amused and supported Hua Yuefu even more arrogantly.

It is true that love can drive people crazy. Even King Rui's proudest daughter had her mind corrupted by jealousy.

Although the woman was most likely the concubine of Marquis Huainan, Jiarong's handling of the matter was understandable.

However, this did not prevent him from making a big deal out of the matter and embarrassing Prince Rui.

It would be even worse if someone died, Jiarong would be in trouble too.

Prince Guo was enjoying the fun and even adding fuel to the fire.

"Shuyu, how could you do this?"

Marquis Huainan looked at the woman beside him in disbelief, as if he had never known her before.

Princess Jiarong ignored the prince's accusations and looked indifferently at her uncle who looked very pleased with himself.

"Uncle, you are still so impulsive. When did I ever say that she was arrested because of the Marquis of Huainan?"

From the day the truth was revealed, Li Xuesong was no longer Jiarong's husband.

As for everything he got by relying on her, she would take it all back.

"Ha! Then I'll see what excuse Jiarong can come up with."

Looking back at her expressionless niece who treated him like a clown, Prince Guo was so angry that his voice rose eight degrees.

How dare she, a junior, challenge an elder like herself? It turned out that old man Jun Xunian couldn't teach her anything good.

Once Jiarong's guilt is confirmed, he will accuse him of failing to manage the household properly and allowing his daughter to commit a crime.

"Come, bring them all up."

"Yes, Princess." Several palace soldiers immediately went down and brought the person up.

Huo Le'an, who was over there, saw his cousin being bullied and kept winking at his cousin.

Unfortunately, Jun Linyuan didn't even look at him, so he just flirted with the air.

"Hey, Chengyuan, should we go down and help our cousin?"

There was no other way, Huo Le'an could only plead under his cousin's deathly gaze.

"Just sit still. Princess Jiarong is much more mature and steady than you. How could she do something she is not sure of?"

Jun Linyuan didn't want to pay any attention to this unreliable cousin, but he was afraid that he would mess up all their plans, so he could only speak out to comfort him.

"Cousin, don't you understand the princess's character and her way of doing things? You must trust the princess."

Qi Mingze also chimed in at the right time, saying that this was all the script he had set, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

We also have to thank Prince Guo, the free tool. Without his perseverance in pushing the plot forward, the story wouldn't have progressed so quickly.

"Okay." Huo Le'an finally felt relieved.

With these two people backing him up, the emperor's uncle is basically here to deliver food.

I don’t know what the emperor’s uncle is thinking. He always makes things difficult for Prince Rui’s Mansion.

He would rush forward at the slightest sign of trouble, and he thought there was some life-and-death feud between the two.
