After a moment, Ning Chen said, "Yes, it was me who suggested that Yu Liangyuan accompany us, and it was you who suggested taking a walk in the garden. She didn't say a word at the time, so I was indeed suspicious."

Having said that, Liu Dequan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was obviously too early.

The next moment, Ning Chen, who looked imposing in a black and gold python robe, picked up the teacup nonchalantly, slowly skimmed off the floating leaves, and spoke slowly.

"It can't be that you betrayed me and went to someone else."

When these words were spoken, Liu Dequan was shocked, his eyes widened, and the hairs on his body stood up. Cold sweat immediately soaked his clothes on his back, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks. He had no time to wipe it off.

He fell to his knees with a thud, his knees hitting the hard floor with a heavy thud.

But Liu Dequan didn't care about the pain at all.

His face was filled with fear and he dropped his head to the ground, his voice trembling.

"Your Highness, I have always been loyal to you and have served you since I was a child. I have never had any second thoughts, Your Highness!!"

After saying that, Liu Dequan kowtowed violently, and his forehead hit the floor with a bang.

Ning Chen's expression remained calm as he watched Liu Dequan kowtow in indifference.

Ning Chen only spoke slowly after Liu Dequan's head was bruised and bleeding.

"Well, I didn't say anything. Don't I know what kind of person you are? I was just joking, but you took it seriously. Hurry up and get up. Your head is bruised. Trust a person you employ. Don't doubt a person you don't employ. I trust you."

Liu Dequan stood up in a hurry, keeping his head down.

"Yes, it was all because of me who misunderstood your Highness's words. I deserve to die."

Liu Dequan even slapped himself, and the sound was quite crisp in the empty study room.

Ning Chen continued to look at the geomancy map, but Liu Dequan was terrified.

Thinking back to what happened just now, he was still terrified, and he naturally knew why His Highness said that.

He has always been by His Highness's side and has never spoken for any concubine. Today, he was just soft-hearted and felt grateful to Yu Liangyuan for saving His Highness from serious injuries, so he said a few nice words.

Unexpectedly, he almost lost his life.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a very good mood during this period, and he smiles more often. It seems that he has forgotten his roots and how suspicious His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is. He has been speaking up for Yu Liangyuan, which has caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be wary of him.

Liu Dequan wished he could go back to that moment just now. He would never say this sentence even if he died.

Ning Chen seemed to be looking at the feng shui map, but his mind was not there.

He still couldn't avoid suspicion. Many servants knew that the rocks from the rockery had fallen, so did Tang Yu know about it?

If she knew clearly in her heart, today's so-called beauty saving the hero was just a design, the purpose was to gain his sympathy and guilt.

This woman is really too scheming. He never likes women who are too scheming.

Moreover, Ning Chen began to doubt whether the injuries on Tang Yu's body were fake. If the injuries were fake, then Tang Yu's plan of inflicting self-torture would probably be overturned.

As he spoke, Ning Chen felt more and more that he had to go and take a look at the wound himself. Just now he was so distressed that he didn't dare to touch the wound even when he checked it for the last time.

He had seen countless treacherous thoughts since he lived in the palace.

In order to seduce my father, those women cut wounds on their bodies, bribed the imperial doctors to pretend to be pregnant, and then deliberately fell down to make it look like they had a miscarriage to get away with it. Such things were not uncommon.
