"Princess Youfeng, how did you protect Princess Qingyan? If I hadn't come here hunting and happened to save Princess Qingyan, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Shen Jing looked at Song Siyao, his expression cold and stern, and his first words were a reprimand.

Song Siyao retorted, "How dare they kidnap Princess Qingyan? They must be someone of great importance. Why didn't Your Highness spare them? Are you trying to silence them?"

Shen Jing's face darkened. "Princess Youfeng, what do you mean? I was saving someone, and you're saying I was killing someone to silence them?"

“Princess Youfeng, my lord originally intended to bring these people back to the city for trial, but they resisted during my arrest, so I had no choice but to kill them,” Chen Xing explained.

"Whether it was murder to cover it up or not, we'll find out when we get back and interrogate them!" Song Siyao waved his hand behind him and ordered, "Tinghan, take these robbers away!"

By the time she rode away, the people of Tianji Pavilion had already spread the news.

Ting Han immediately led his men to provide support.

"Yes, Princess." Tinghan led her men away and took away all the remaining men in black.

Shen Jing's gaze was icy cold as he shouted, "Stop!"

He looked at Song Siyao and said, "Princess Youfeng, I saved Princess Qingyan. What's the meaning of you taking her away now?"

“If Your Highness feels that I stole your credit, you can follow me the whole time. I only want the truth; the credit is yours,” Song Siyao said.

Shen Jing's face darkened further. "Princess Youfeng, you've gone too far! This concerns Princess Qingyan's safety, and you call it a merit? My father values ​​you so much, entrusting Princess Qingyan's safety to you, and this is how you repay him?"

He preemptively attacked Song Siyao.

Song Siyao didn't answer, but changed the subject, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

“I’ve come out to hunt,” Shen Jing replied.

"Weren't you drinking tea at the Prince of Jin's residence? Why did you suddenly decide to go hunting?" Song Siyao pressed.

Shen Jing raised an eyebrow, his voice icy, "Princess Youfeng, what do I need to report to you about?"

"Of course not, but if it's related to Princess Qingyan, then I absolutely must know!" Song Siyao refused to budge an inch.

Shen Jing's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean by that?"

"Does Your Highness not understand?" Song Siyao said firmly, "Guards, take him away!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Jing and said, "Your Highness, let's go see the Emperor together. You can tell him what you want to say."

Shen Jing's expression was cold and stern; he remained silent.

“Princess Qingyan, come with me,” Song Siyao said, looking at Princess Qingyan.

Princess Qingyan nodded.

The two rode together on one horse.

"Princess Youfeng, what did you mean by what you just said?" Princess Qingyan asked.

“Princess Qingyan is a smart woman; she should understand what I mean.” Song Siyao didn’t say it directly.

“Prince Chen is my savior,” Princess Qingyan said calmly.

Song Siyao understood the meaning behind Princess Qingyan's words: no matter what the truth was, she stood by Shen Jing.

She ignored Princess Qingyan's words and rushed straight to the palace.

Royal study room.

Emperor Changlong sat high above.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Princess Qingyan back safely. These men in black are the ones who kidnapped Princess Qingyan," Song Siyao reported to Emperor Changlong.

Emperor Changlong's face was cold and stern. "Who are you? Why have you kidnapped Princess Qingyan?"

The leader of the men in black replied, "Your Majesty, I was just a robber. I saw that the princess's carriage looked like that of a wealthy person, so I wanted to kidnap her and make her family pay a ransom. I did not know that she was Princess Qingyan."

He knelt on the ground and recounted the whole story, "Your Majesty, if I had known that she was Princess Qingyan, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if you gave me a hundred lives."
