Yelu Yan saw the right opportunity, quickly stood up, and hurried towards where Jun Lingyuan was.

At this moment, Jun Lingyuan was having a pleasant conversation with Jun Lingye, Grand Tutor Qin Xiao, and others. When Jun Lingyuan saw Yelu Yan approaching, his brows furrowed slightly, barely perceptible.

Yelu Yan pretended to be panic-stricken, her voice trembling a little: "Brother Lingyuan, I just saw my sister and a guard going over there." After that, she pointed her slender finger in the direction of the side hall.

Jun Lingyuan looked up at Yelu Yan, then looked around, but did not see Feng Qingyue.

Although he felt that Yelu Yan's words were a bit suspicious, Feng Qingyue was not around. Somehow, a trace of worry quietly spread in his heart.

Seeing Yelu Yan's panic, everyone gathered around. Jun Lingye spoke first, "Perhaps the Empress's wife found the banquet boring and decided to go out for a walk to relax." Grand Tutor Qin Xiao nodded in agreement.

Yelu Yan hurriedly said, "Brother Lingyuan, Prince Ye, this matter is definitely not that simple. I just saw my sister and a guard walking over there, chatting and laughing. This is a serious violation of palace rules. Brother Lingyuan dotes on my sister so much, how could she do such a thing? Let's go over and take a look."

Jun Lingyuan frowned. He knew Feng Qingyue's personality well. She only wanted to return to her own world. In this palace, apart from thinking of ways to save her life, she had no time to do anything else.

However, he was still somewhat worried about Feng Qingyue's safety, so he glanced at Yelu Yan and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way."

Yelu Yan was secretly delighted, and hurriedly took Jun Lingyuan and others to the side hall.

Along the way, she was filled with pride, and the scene of Feng Qingyue being unable to defend herself kept appearing in her mind.

Soon, everyone arrived outside the side hall.

Yelu Yan rushed into the hall and screamed in fear, "Sister, how could you do such a thing?"

Jun Lingyuan then walked into the hall, and the scene before him stunned everyone.

I saw Concubine Su lying on the bed in dishevel, unconscious, with a guard lying beside her.

Just as everyone was at a loss of what to do, Feng Qingyue and her maid Ah Cui walked in calmly from outside, and asked with a puzzled look on their faces, "What happened?"

When Jun Lingyuan saw that Feng Qingyue was safe and sound, the worries in his heart immediately dissipated a lot. As long as she was okay, it was fine.

Yelu Yan's eyes widened, and she pointed at Feng Qingyue and said, "Brother Lingyuan, look at her. She's still pretending to know nothing. She must have planned this all along and is only pretending to be innocent now."

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly and looked at Yelu Yan, with a hint of grievance in her eyes: "Princess, what do you mean by this? I was just taking A Cui for a walk outside, and I came over to check when I heard some noise over here. Why are you blaming me like this the moment I come in?"

Imperial Tutor Qin Xiao shook his head slightly and said slowly, "Princess, there seems to be something else going on here. This guard was clearly knocked unconscious, and Concubine Su is also unconscious. Imperial Concubine Feng only arrived at this moment, and it seems like someone deliberately plotted against her. It's probably not appropriate for you to be so hasty in convicting her."

Jun Lingye also echoed: "Yes, the emperor's sister-in-law has always been dignified and generous, how could she do such a thing."

Yelu Yan was extremely angry. She never expected things to turn out like this. She had hoped to make Feng Qingyue completely fall out of favor in front of everyone, but she didn't expect that Feng Qingyue would get the upper hand.

Feng Qingyue sobbed softly at this moment, and said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, I have always behaved myself well since entering the palace, and have gotten along well with my sisters. What happened today must have been deliberately framed by someone, hoping to destroy the relationship between me and Your Majesty."

Jun Lingyuan walked forward, gently embraced Feng Qingyue in his arms, and softly comforted her, "Don't cry, my beloved concubine. I believe in you."

Then, he scanned the crowd with a stern gaze and said firmly, "I will get to the bottom of today's incident. If I find out who is behind this, I will show no mercy."

Yelu Yan was a little frightened at this moment, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Lingyuan, this might be a play she directed herself. You can't let her fool you."

Jun Lingyuan gave her a cold look and said sternly, "Princess, don't talk nonsense without evidence. I know exactly what kind of person my beloved concubine is."

At this moment, Supin slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw so many people gathered around her and saw her disheveled appearance. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

When she saw Feng Qingyue standing aside unharmed, she immediately realized that she must have been tricked by her.

Concubine Su knelt hurriedly on the ground, crying and begging, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. This was all ordered by the princess. She said that if I could overthrow Concubine Feng, I would gain more favor. Your Majesty, I was bewitched by her."

When Yelu Yan heard Su Bin's words, her face turned pale. She pointed at Su Bin and cursed angrily: "You shameless bitch, how dare you frame this princess?"

Jun Lingyuan's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He looked directly at Yelu Yan and said, "Princess, I have been extremely tolerant of you because you are a princess. But you have repeatedly crossed my bottom line. It seems I can no longer tolerate you."

Yelu Yan was in a panic, she knew that she had gotten into big trouble this time.

She hurriedly knelt in front of Jun Lingyuan, begging for mercy with tears streaming down her face: "Brother Lingyuan, Yan'er was confused for a moment and was blinded by jealousy. Brother Lingyuan, please forgive Yan'er this time."

Jun Lingyuan was silent, his eyes filled with coldness and alienation.

Feng Qingyue gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Your Majesty, the princess is still a princess. If Your Majesty punishes her severely, it might cause conflict between the two countries. Why not just forgive her this time and ask her not to do it again in the future?"

Jun Lingyuan turned his head to look at Feng Qingyue, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He understood that Feng Qingyue was afraid that Yelu Yan was the heroine of this world and she could not die, otherwise not only would he not be able to go back, but the world might also fall into chaos.

Jun Lingyuan sighed softly and said to Yelu Yan, "Princess, today, because of my beloved concubine's plea for you, I will forgive you this time. But you must remember, if it happens again, I will never forgive you."

Yelu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Feng Qingyue with gratitude, but her resentment towards her grew even deeper.

She knew in her heart that she had lost miserably this time, but how could she give up? She secretly vowed that one day she would make Feng Qingyue pay an even greater price.

Jun Lingyuan looked coldly at Concubine Su and the guard, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "How dare you two commit such a shameful act in the palace, and even attempt to frame my beloved concubine? You are truly guilty of a heinous crime. Come, take these two away and execute them."

Supin had already collapsed to the ground in fear, kowtowing desperately to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was forced by the princess, please have mercy..."

The guard also woke up from his coma. As soon as he woke up, he felt the oppressive atmosphere. Knowing that he had no way to survive, he also began to beg.

But Jun Lingyuan remained expressionless, unmoved. Soon, the guards came forward, carrying Su Bin and the guard, and dragged them out.

Su Bin's desperate cry was heard: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The voice became farther and farther away until it disappeared.

When Yelu Yan saw this scene, her body trembled slightly.

Although she did not have much sympathy for the death of Concubine Su and the guards, Jun Lingyuan's cruel methods still made her a little scared.

Feng Qingyue turned her head away. Although she knew that people who plotted and framed others in the palace usually did not have a good ending, she still felt uncomfortable seeing such a scene.

Jun Lingyuan turned around, looked at Yelu Yan, and said sternly, "Princess, I hope you will reflect on this matter. If it weren't for my beloved concubine's plea, I would not let you go so easily today."

Yelu Yan bit her lip and said respectfully, "Yes, Brother Ling Yuan, Yan'er knows she was wrong."

After everything was settled, everyone dispersed. Jun Lingyuan took Feng Qingyue back to the bedroom.

Feng Qingyue sat on the couch and sighed softly. Jun Lingyuan sat down beside her and asked softly, "Why are you sighing, my beloved? Are you still worried about what happened today?"
