If you guess correctly, these people should be from the Protectorate Mansion, and they are still looking for the whereabouts of the eldest lady.

Then why can't she borrow these people and go back to Lu Yuanbai openly?

This thought flashed through Chi Yingchu's mind, and he couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and raised his foot to find out, but he felt that such a rash thought would make them suspicious, and he had to think of a safe way.

Her eyes fell on the Protector in front of her, and suddenly she thought of something, and rushed out with her head in her hands and shouted: "Help, someone is chasing me!"

She suddenly broke into everyone's sight, and the Protector and the others were inevitably on guard for a while, and after seeing her face clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?" asked in a cold voice when the Lord Protector stepped forward, although he didn't care much about her on weekdays, but when he saw her, he would think of the second lady.

"I, I was in a restaurant with the prince, and then someone stabbed me there, and the prince let me escape......" she said as she wiped the corners of her eyes without tears with a handkerchief.

The Protector had a headache when he heard this, and found two subordinates to send her back, she hesitated, and the next words surprised everyone.

"I seemed to see it at the time, and the eldest lady was there......"

"What are you talking about, where are the people?" the Protector's gloomy face was shocked, and he immediately blocked her way.

"It's there, and there......" She pointed indiscriminately, and the Protector suddenly had a headache again, so he had to let her take him over.

"Okay, then don't lose it. Chi Ying's initial goal succeeded, and soon he no longer hesitated, and led everyone to the restaurant.

At this time, the restaurant.

The emperor's face was gloomy, he looked at the eldest lady, and finally his eyes stopped on Lu Yuanbai, and there seemed to be displeasure between his eyebrows: "What the hell is going on?"

Lu Yuanbai covered his sleeves and coughed, and bowed slightly to the emperor: "Brother Huang, the cause of the matter lies with him, and the younger brother doesn't know why the eldest lady wronged him, so it's better for him to make it clear." ”

The emperor looked in the direction of his finger, Zhu Qingliu from the beginning to the silence now.

"Haven't you always been wronged? Right now, the imperial brother will definitely give you a chance to speak, you tell the truth......

Chu Jingshu's face changed, and she stepped forward and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine's mother will never be able to do such a thing, don't listen to the villain's slander!"

Lu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, and his complicated eyes turned to her: "You said that this king is a villain?"

"Concubines are naturally ...... It's not about the prince. Chu Jingshu smiled far-fetchedly, and there was some panic in her eyes that she couldn't suppress.

The emperor's already unsightly face became more and more embarrassed, and he said coldly to Zhu Qingliu: "You come on." ”

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for the eldest lady secretly intervening, the current Hanlin Academy should be a villain...... "Zhu Qingliu told everything one by one, but concealed his calculations.

The eldest lady was a little uneasy at first, but when she heard it, she calmed down, and there was anger in the emperor's eyes: "What he said is true?"

"It's not serious! The courtiers are a woman, how can they meddle in the affairs of the court, although the prince is sick and weak, he has a half-understanding of the affairs of the court, and the two of them jointly framed the courtiers, and Zhu Qingliu said empty words, without any evidence. ”

The eldest lady's tone was sincere, and she said that she was extremely innocent, Chu Jingshu wanted to speak for her, but she stopped her with her eyes.

If she said it alone, the emperor might still believe it, but once Chu Jingshu opened her mouth, the credibility of these words dropped a lot.

Besides, only if Chu Jingshu is not involved, can she be her backing and truly protect herself.

Lu Yuanbai's eyes were replaced by coldness little by little, whether the emperor believed her or not was not the most important thing, but it depended on whether the emperor would take this opportunity to suppress him.

He used to pretend to be sick and weak every time, and it would be boring to use it too many times, not to mention that he was still an emperor with a discordant face and heart.

"Yuan Bai, is that really the case?" Since ascending the throne, the emperor has rarely called him by his name like this, indifferent and without the slightest warmth.

The emperor hates these things the most, and if he doesn't explain them clearly, the removal of the title will be light.

"The courtiers don't dare to deceive the royal brother. Lu Yuanbai saw Chi Yingchu's figure coming back outside, and he suddenly chuckled lightly, "Madame really can't do it, but the Protector can do it." ”

Whether it is done by the eldest lady or the Protector of the Nation, if one of them is punished, it will affect the entire Protector Mansion.

Before the Duke of Protector who came in a hurry could not understand the situation of the matter, he was labeled like this, and he looked at the emperor's gloomy gaze and was anxious to explain.

"Your Majesty, there must be something else hidden in this matter, the prince can't do such a thing, and the minister can't do it. ”

Lu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows slightly, he was smart, he didn't kick his hat to himself again, knowing that he would not give up easily, if he continued like this, it would be over today.

"It's not you and it's not Yuan Bai, then you tell me, who else can it be?" the emperor pursed his lips in displeasure, and there was already a somewhat questioning tone in his words.

The protector looked around, and there was only Zhu Qingliu in the whole room, who he could offend, so the scapegoat fell on him.

"Maybe he made it all up......"

The emperor pressed his brows with a headache, he didn't expect him to say such stupid things, and the rest of the people didn't know how to answer, only Lu Yuanbai had a faint smile on his face.

Sometimes it doesn't speak, so it's better not to speak.

The eldest lady's kneeling body trembled a little, and Chi Yingchu's gaze swept over the two of them, and finally stopped on Chu Jingshu's face: "Your Majesty, I have evidence!"

"Oh?" the emperor was a little interested in hearing this, and glanced at Lu Yuanbai with interest, "Then why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”

"This matter is probably related to Mrs., but the Protector may not know about it, please ask the emperor to read it for the sake of the Protector's Mansion for many years of loyalty, and leave a way back. ”

Chi Yingchu and Lu Yuanbai's eyes signaled, and Chu Jingshu looked at her, she opened her mouth to speak, but Lu Yuanbai spoke first: "I think Concubine Jing seems to have something to say, so it's better to let her speak first." ”

"I ......" Chu Jingshu gritted her teeth hatefully, and was speechless for a while.

Chi Yingchu spoke to the emperor again, "Since my sister has nothing to say, it's my turn to speak, right?"

"Chu Yimiao!" the Protector scolded, and the warning in his eyes was nothing at all.

She nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and gave full play to the characteristics of being angry and not paying for her life to the end: "Father also heard it, this is the emperor's meaning, you better not interfere." ”

The Protector looked at the emperor, but after all, she didn't speak again, she shouted outside the door: "There is still a missing party, why don't you let him in quickly?"

After a while, Zhou Shen also appeared in everyone's sight, and as soon as he saw the emperor, he subconsciously knelt down: "The emperor spares his life!"

The emperor's face turned pale for a while, anger loomed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "You haven't made it clear what mistakes you have made, how can I spare you?"

"This ......"

"If you tell the truth, you can still die, and if you have to quibble, you will not escape the death penalty!"

Zhou Shen immediately told the truth and spit out all the things that the eldest lady instructed him.

If one person's testimony is not credible, the words of two people have to be reconsidered, and the matter that has been tossed for half a night has settled after Zhou Shen appeared.

The Emperor angrily asked, "So far, you have really opened my eyes!"
