Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Excuse me, is this the Crown Princess Chenyun?"

After Jingzhao Yin caught a glimpse of the tender affection between Chu Xingyu and Su Mengqi, he couldn't help but cough lightly and turned his gaze to Bai Yue.

"Exactly!"

Bai Yue was wearing a blue and white men's suit at the moment. If one didn't know her true identity, one might mistake her for a young man.

"Oh? Then, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, several young ladies have jointly sued you, claiming that you sent thugs to publicly molest several young ladies from official families, intending to ruin their reputations. What do you have to say in your defense?"

"Defense? Why bother making excuses?"

"Your Highness has no grudge against Miss Su, so why would he act this way? This is sheer nonsense!"

Xiaoyi, who was beside Bai Yue, said indignantly at this moment. She was dressed particularly gorgeously today. If you didn't know her true appearance, you might think she was the daughter of some noble family.

"Hmph, do you even need to ask? Of course, it's because this woman has a crush on the young marquis. Seeing that Miss Su has taken away the young marquis' heart, she is jealous and does such a despicable thing!"

At this moment, a girl in a pink dress next to Su Mengqi suddenly interrupted with a bit of sarcasm in her tone.

"Hey, this voice... sounds quite familiar. If I remember correctly, this young lady should be the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, right?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly, her eyes shot towards the girl in the pink dress like a knife, and there was a chill in her voice.

"Yes, so what? We are in the government office now. Do you think we will still be afraid of you like we were that day?"

Just when the atmosphere was tense, another pretty girl in a white gauze dress said with an angry look on her face.

When Bai Yue heard the familiar voice, she knew that the person coming was the young lady from the Earl's Mansion who had cried and begged for mercy that day.

Her eyes moved between Su Mengqi and the two women beside her. She nodded slightly, as if she had understood the whole story.

"Hey, what are you planning again? Let me tell you, I'm here and I will never let you hurt Meng Qi again!"

Chu Xingyu stood in front of Su Mengqi and spoke to Bai Yue with a cold look.

Bai Yue did not respond, but turned to the Jingzhao Yin in the hall and spoke calmly.

"Sir, since my crime is to send villains to commit indecent acts against these young ladies, why don't you bring these suspects to the court so that I can confront them?"

"Bring the prisoner to the court!"

Jingzhao Yin nodded slightly, thinking that what Bai Yue said made sense, and then ordered his subordinates to bring those villains to court.

With the rattling of chains, three men with hideous and ferocious looks were escorted into the hall by the officers.

When they knelt down, Bai Yue suddenly smiled and greeted them.

"My dear friends, I wonder if there are some unknown reasons behind today's events. If you can speak frankly, I might be able to defend you in front of the adults."

When these men heard Bai Yue's words, they were stunned for a moment, but soon, the leading man sneered and responded with disdain.

"Hmph, you pretty boy, why are you meddling in other people's business? We were ordered by Crown Princess Chenyun to come here specifically to ruin the reputation of Miss Su and the other young ladies!"

Bai Yue's eyes couldn't help but darken for a moment, and then she asked with pretended curiosity.

"Oh, from what you all said, you were actually selected by Crown Princess Chenyun herself?"

The men nodded, their expressions full of gratitude.

"That's right! Crown Princess Chenyun once saved me from danger. To repay her kindness, we are willing to go through fire and water for her, even if it means death!"

Bai Yue turned to look at Xiao Yi and spoke jokingly.

"Oh? Your Highness, these warriors claim to have received your orders before they were willing to commit this 'treasonous' act. I wonder what your Highness thinks of this?"

Before Xiaoyi could even open her mouth, the men had already kowtowed to her and spoke.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, we are incompetent and inferior in skill. We were captured by the young Marquis. We have truly failed your high hopes!"

Seeing this, Bai Yue immediately walked up to Xiaoyi and spoke in a stern tone.

"My Lady Crown Princess, how did you know that these young ladies were going to the Hanging Temple to burn incense today?"

"And how could you allow these warriors to fight in front of the young marquis? The young marquis is a martial arts master, aren't you harming them?"

Xiaoyi looked embarrassed and was about to speak up to explain, but the men spoke up to excuse her before she could.

"My dear brother, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is not to blame for this. The ladies' trip to the Hanging Temple was only decided yesterday."

"Your Highness only knew about this because he heard it from the young marquis. After all, your Highness and the young marquis have a close relationship and spend every day together. When you learned that your lover was actually going to meet his old love, you probably resorted to this desperate measure."

"Oh, so it was you, Young Marquis, who told Crown Princess Chenyun about this yourself!"

Bai Yue looked at Chu Xingyu with an expression that said, "So you are also an accomplice."

"Nonsense! When did I ever stay with that woman every day, never leaving her?"

At this time, Chu Xingyu also felt that what these people said was too ridiculous, but before he could finish, those big men began to describe his relationship with Bai Yue with exaggeration.

"Her Royal Highness's affection for the young marquis is like a flood of spring water, difficult to contain. In her eyes, that useless prince is nothing but a passing cloud. Naturally, he cannot be compared with your position in the Crown Princess' heart!"

"That's right. Her Highness the Crown Princess once confessed her true feelings to us. The only one she loves is the young Marquis. The other girls around him are nothing but stumbling blocks to her, so she will definitely do everything she can to get rid of them!"

"Nonsense, I've never known you. Stop talking nonsense!"

Xiaoyi's face turned red with anger. She widened her eyes, stared at the group of men and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, stop quibbling! It's clearly because you were jealous of Miss Su and the young marquis's mutual affection that you asked us to smear her reputation!"

"That's right, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, you've already done it. Why are you pretending to be innocent now? You are of royal blood. Even if you really did it, the government won't make it too difficult for you."

Xiaoyi's heart was filled with grievance and anger. She bit her lower lip tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.

"I didn't do it, why should I admit it? You shameless people are full of lies and have ulterior motives!"

Seeing Xiao Yi so weak, the group of men looked at each other, and then the leader shouted loudly to the Jingzhao Yin in the hall to protest.

"Sir, we were indeed ordered by this Crown Princess Chenyun, but now she wants to distance herself from the matter and let us bear the blame. Please, Sir, be discerning and make the decision for us!"

"That's enough. I just want to ask you one question: do you really recognize Crown Princess Chenyun?"

Chu Xingyu looked at these men and shouted loudly.

"Oh, young marquis, you're asking even though you already know the answer! Isn't this our peerless Crown Princess Chenyun? Look, she exudes an innate nobility. She's a perfect match for you!"

Several big men pointed at Xiaoyi and made faces, their tone full of flattery and fawning.

"So, do you know this person?"

"Hey, isn't this just a legal advisor, or perhaps an official from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion?"

The big men looked at Bai Yue for a while before answering hesitantly.

"Hehehe..."

Bai Yue suddenly chuckled a few times, then clasped his fists and said respectfully to the Jingzhao Yin in the hall.

"Sir, the truth of this case has been revealed. Next, can I personally interrogate these people?"

"Don't worry, I won't cause any loss of life, but telling the truth often requires some tricks, so it's better for you to avoid it for now, sir.

"Yes, I will take my leave now."

The Jingzhao Yin nodded in agreement, turned around and prepared to leave.

Judging from the fact that those men knew nothing about Bai Yue, their words were all hypocritical lies.

The Jingzhao Yin also noticed the panic and anxiety on the faces of those young ladies when Bai Yue questioned them. He was afraid that today's incident was also related to them.

"Ah, I'd better keep my distance from the intrigues of these high-ranking officials, so as not to get involved. Not only will I not get any benefits, but I will also get myself into trouble!"

Jingzhao Yin sighed secretly in his heart, then walked towards the back hall.

Seeing this, the young lady from the Shangshu Mansion hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Sir, the case is not yet settled. How can you leave like this?"

"Ladies, don't be impatient. I'm currently trying this case. Just sit here and watch me carefully as I try it, so I don't have to repeat it all over again later."

Bai Yue's smile was like a spring breeze, but it was also a bit sharp, which made Su Mengqi and others shiver involuntarily.

"Please, hold this guy down for me!"

Bai Yue gave orders to the officers who were still in a daze in the hall.

"As ordered!"

Several officers immediately took action and quickly subdued the leading man.

Bai Yue walked slowly up to the big man and spoke in a flat voice.

"Let me ask you again, who instructed you to destroy the reputation of these three young ladies?"

"Yes, it's Crown Princess Chenyun."

Before the man could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain on his face. He screamed, and a tooth fell to the ground. The smell of blood filled the air.

"I'm telling you, every time you tell a lie, I'll knock out one of your teeth. The average person has 32 teeth, which means you have 32 opportunities to lie!"

Bai Yue rolled up her sleeves gracefully as she spoke, her expression like a doctor about to perform a delicate operation.

"You, you're being tortured into confessing! I don't accept this, I'm going to sue the emperor!"

The big man roared at Bai Yue incoherently, and the officers who were escorting him couldn't help but curse loudly at his stubbornness.

"Confession under torture? You don't even recognize Crown Princess Chenyun. I'm already being merciful by not charging you with slandering the royal family!"

"How could I not recognize her? Isn't the Crown Princess..."

The big man tried to point at Xiaoyi who was standing beside him, but Bai Yue raised her hand and interrupted him.

"Actually, I am the Crown Princess Chenyun. That girl is just my personal maid."

Bai Yue's words shocked the big man so much that he couldn't even close his mouth, but Bai Yue just smiled lightly and continued.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's move on. Next, will you tell the truth, or lose another tooth?"

Although her voice was soft, it gave people a terrifying feeling like Shura.

"Yes, a man found us and asked us to molest some young ladies in front of the Hanging Temple today, right under the young marquis's nose. He said that if we were caught, we would put the blame on Crown Princess Chenyun. Then, after the storm died down, he would rescue us and give us a large sum of money!"

After knowing that Bai Yue was the Crown Princess Chen Yun, the big man's psychological defenses immediately collapsed. With a trembling voice, he told everything that had happened without reservation.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this really knows everything about the daily lives of these young ladies."

Bai Yue turned around and looked at Su Mengqi and others who were trembling with fear, and sighed with a warm smile.

Suddenly, one of the kneeling men seemed to remember something. He raised his head eagerly, looked at Bai Yue and shouted.

"Your Highness, Fairy Lady, I've seen that man in the gambling house before. He seems to be a servant of the Earl's Mansion..."

The men were like eggplants hit by frost at this moment, kowtowing and begging Bai Yue one by one.

"Your Majesty, we are so blinded by greed that we did such a foolish thing. Please be magnanimous and forgive us this time!"

Their words were filled with regret and fear. After all, Bai Yue's momentum and methods just now really made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"So she's a servant from the Earl's Mansion. Then, should I have a good chat with this young lady from the Earl's Mansion?"

Bai Yue spun around lightly and gave the Earl's daughter a smile as bright as a star.

"Min'er, why is this happening? Aren't we close friends? Why are you so cruel as to assign someone else to smear my name?"

Su Mengqi's face was full of shock and confusion. She looked straight at the daughter of the Earl's Mansion, as if she had suffered irreparable harm.

Then, she tightly grasped the sleeve of Chu Xingyu in front of her, as if it was her only safe haven in the storm.

"Meng Qi, why do you say that?"

Min'er's eyes widened, as if she had heard the most ridiculous statement in the world.

"Weren't all of this happening your plan? You said you knew my feelings for the young marquis, but unfortunately, Crown Princess Chenyun got there first. That's why you had me send people to find these scoundrels, intending to put Crown Princess Chenyun in an unjust position!"

Min'er was completely enraged by Su Mengqi's counterattack. She roared angrily, and her voice echoed throughout the lobby.
