After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

It started with a beggar shouting, and when the children on the street saw how smoothly it went, they joined in, and soon the whole city knew about it.

At first, the people didn't understand what this meant.

Although the emperor had ordered a silencing of the matter, it still couldn't hide everyone's desire to share.

When the first person tells you not to tell anyone, a second person will follow suit; one person's secret is a secret, but two people's secrets become gossip and jokes.

So, after the word spread among those who had attended the Dragon Boat Festival banquet in the palace, the common people quickly learned the truth of the matter and the real meaning expressed between the lines of the doggerel.

When the adults found out, they couldn't help but blush and stopped, also warning the children in their families not to recite the poem anymore.

However, when no children were present, everyone still talked about how the eldest prince was so licentious, and how the daughter of the prime minister's family and the daughter of the minister's family could be so dissolute!

In no time, the Crown Prince, Qin Mingzhu, Qin Shuyu, and Li Jingyu became famous in Yandu City!

At the same time, many people sympathized with Qin Wanyou.

When Qin Wanyou returned to the Prime Minister's residence, Qin Mingzhu had already woken up from her fainting spell, but Qin Wanyou had no intention of visiting her.

Qin Mingyu and Qin Shanyu blocked Qin Wanyou's way back to Qingzhu Courtyard, asking, "Did you do what happened outside?"

Qin Wanyou looked at them innocently and with confusion, "What happened outside?"

Qin Shanyu, his face contorted with anger, questioned Qin Wanyou, "You just came back from outside, and you're saying you don't know what happened outside? Who would believe that?"

Qin Wanyou definitely couldn't admit it. "You need to tell me exactly what happened before I know whether I know or not."

Qin Mingyu stared at Qin Wanyou, "What's been circulating outside about what happened at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet."

Qin Wanyou was getting a little impatient. "Didn't everyone already know about the Dragon Boat Festival banquet for choosing consorts? The Crown Princess and the Second Prince's consort have already been chosen and their marriages have been arranged. What's wrong with everyone discussing the results?"

Qin Shanyu was very anxious. "It's not about that. It's about the Crown Prince and Sister Mingzhu."

Qin Wanyou's face immediately turned cold. "I don't know. Don't tell me it's the First Prince."

After saying that, he pushed Qin Shanyu and went straight back to Qingzhu Courtyard.

Qin Shanyu wanted to chase after her, but Qin Mingyu grabbed her hand. "Shanyu, that's enough. Judging from her appearance, it probably isn't her."

Qin Shanyu looked at his older brother, "Big brother, it really wasn't her who did it?"

Qin Mingyu looked in the direction Qin Wanyou had left. "Judging from her confusion and her strong resistance to discussing the Dragon Boat Festival banquet and the Crown Prince, she probably didn't do what happened outside. We need to find a way to quell the rumors as soon as possible."

After returning to Qingzhu Courtyard, Qin Wanyou closed the door and immediately took out the jade pendant to examine it carefully.

The reason I snatched it without checking it and left was because the moment I saw the jade pendant, I felt a spiritual connection and was certain that it was my own.

However, Qin Wanyou looked at it several times but didn't find any special information. It was just a piece of warm jade that felt very comfortable in her hand.

After thinking about it carefully again,

wrong!

Suddenly, I remembered when Qin Mingzhu saw this jade pendant when we were little. She snatched it away, but after getting it, she said it was cold and then she didn't want it anymore and threw it on the ground.

I was still puzzled when I held it in my hand after picking it up myself; it was so warm.

Could it be a spiritual technique?

However, it's not suitable for Qin Mingyu to use his spiritual power outside right now; let's talk about it tonight.

At this time, the Regent's Palace,

Gu Siyuan ran to the Prince's Mansion with the juicy gossip he'd heard on the street, exclaiming how regrettable it was! He'd missed such a big show, and his mother hadn't even told him about what had happened when she got home.

Murong Xiao asked Gu Siyuan, "Why didn't you go to the palace banquet that day?"

Gu Siyuan sighed, "I was just afraid the Emperor would bestow a marriage upon me. I don't want another person to take care of me so soon. Besides, the banquet was boring, and I hadn't had enough fun yet! But I miscalculated this time; I missed such a spectacular show, boohoo~, who knows when I'll get to see such a grand spectacle again. What a pity!"

"If I had known there would be such a thrilling and exciting show, I would have crawled into the palace even if I was seriously injured and bedridden. It's such a pity I didn't get to be there in person!"

Then he hopped on Moxi's coattails and said, "Tell me the specifics. Is it true, as the rumors say, that the First Prince really fought three women and one man all by himself? And they were all young ladies from the Prime Minister's residence."

Murong Xiao rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes, and looked speechless, not wanting to say anything more.

Gu Siyuan continued to ask, "Is the eldest prince really that capable?"

Mo Nan explained, "Young Master Gu, our master was not actually present that day, and we did not see the specific footage."

Gu Siyuan pointed at them with a trembling finger, looking at them with a look of disappointment, as if they had missed a chance to get rich overnight. "You, you, sigh~, it's all my fault. Why didn't I go to the palace that night? It would have just meant one more person at home. I could have refused. As a result, I missed the once-in-a-millennium fierce battle of five people."

Moxi suddenly said, "Actually, I caught a glimpse of the scene when the door was kicked open that day."

In an instant, Moxi felt the room brighten up, and several luminous pearls shone brightly before his eyes!

"Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the rumors say, it was still somewhat true; the scene was indeed very exciting and thrilling."

Murong Xiao stopped Moxi, "Alright, don't discuss royal matters."

Moxi immediately shut his mouth as if a pause button had been pressed.

Murong Xiao handed the approved memorials to Mo Xi, "Take them all away and have people pay close attention to the situation on Prince Li's side. Report any unusual activity immediately."

The subordinates immediately replied, "Yes, Master."

"If there's nothing else, everyone can leave." Murong Xiao really didn't want to listen to these people chattering away.

Moxi took the fold book and turned to walk towards the door.

Gu Siyuan also turned around and walked alongside Mo Xi, then put his arm around Mo Xi's shoulder and winked at him.

Moxi winked at Gu Siyuan, and the two understood each other without saying a word.

Mo Bei and Mo Nan followed silently behind.

After Murong Xiao and the others left, he put down the folded document in his hand, leaned back, rubbed his temples, and stared blankly at the green plants in front of him, thinking about the scene of meeting Qin Wanyou that night.

That night, after Murong Xiao left the palace, he found someone following him. After shaking off the person behind him, he lost sight of the woman.

However, they met again not long after. Qin Wanyou was a little anxious and surprised to see Murong Xiao. She gave a slight bow.

"I've met the prince."

After bowing, he turned and left.

If Murong Xiao hadn't spoken up quickly, the person would have disappeared again.

"Miss Qin the Second".

Qin Wanyou stopped in her tracks. "What brings you here, Your Highness?"

"Thank you for your help at Huguo Temple half a month ago. I haven't had a chance to thank you before!" Murong Xiao said gratefully.

Qin Wanyou said coldly, "No need, I have no intention of helping you."

Murong Xiao looked at Qin Wanyou, "But your appearance did help me. Otherwise, I might not have been able to escape unscathed that day. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Regent's Palace to find me. As long as it does not violate the principles of the Palace, I will do my best to help you."

"No need," Qin Wanyou said and left.

Murong Xiao followed behind as if possessed.

Unaware that Moxi was quietly leaving in the direction Qin Wanyou had come from.

Unexpectedly, she ended up in the imperial kitchen, where she met the sixth princess who had sneaked out to eat. The three of them ended up drinking plum juice and enjoying various delicacies together in the imperial kitchen.

The three separated only after someone said something had happened.

After analyzing and thinking it over, Murong Xiao realized that this incident was probably Qin Wanyou's doing, or at least related to her.

I never expected that I would end up becoming her witness.

Why?

Because the day after the incident at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Qin Mingzhu kept shouting that Qin Wanyou had framed her, as if she had gone mad.

In the end, the Emperor summoned the Sixth Princess to confirm once again whether what he saw in the Imperial Kitchen was indeed Qin Wanyou.

The Sixth Princess not only confirmed it, but also revealed that Murong Xiao's uncle was also there, and that they had gone to the imperial kitchen first.

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered that Murong Xiao be summoned to the palace.
