"What did you just say?"

The emperor didn't hear clearly what Nan Qingfeng said while nestling in Dongfang Chu Ye's arms, but seeing that Dongfang Chu Ye didn't look right now, he asked aloud.

When Nan Qingfeng heard this, he quickly knelt down towards the emperor.

"Beiming Qingfeng met the Emperor, and was frightened just now, so he lost his etiquette. I hope the Emperor will not be surprised."

Nan Qingfeng spoke eloquently and continued, "I just said that the lady of the Shangguan family abused my lynching for some unknown reason and burned a red-hot dagger to cut the corner of my mouth. Fortunately, the emperor and the prince arrived in time, otherwise...

…”

After she finished speaking, she pretended to wipe away her tears, and then secretly looked at the emperor through the slits of her eyes.

This man was dressed in bright yellow robes. He looked a few years older than Dongfang Chu Ye, and he could vaguely resemble Dongfang Chu Ye in his facial features.

Perhaps he has been working hard in government affairs, but he is only about thirty years old, and his temples are already slightly gray.

Seeing that the emperor had no reaction on his face, he only looked at her with deep eyes, as if he had penetrated her soul and saw all her little thoughts.

Nan Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to act like a monster again.

The Nine-Five Master is the Nine-Five Master, so powerful.

"Chu Ye, don't worry, I just happened to be here, so I came to see what is going on, and I will definitely get justice."

The emperor was strolling in the court, supported by the eunuch beside him, and walked towards the flower hall.

Bei Mingnan hurriedly bowed forward, "I have met the emperor, Bei Mingnan."

"Are you here too?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Back to the emperor, yes."

Bei Mingnan looked up at Nan Qingfeng without any trace, and did not continue to speak.

"My lord, Guanxiong, I have met the emperor! I didn't know that the emperor suddenly came to visit, and I was disappointed to receive him from afar. I hope that the emperor will forgive me."

Shangguan Xiong hurriedly came out and knelt down to salute the emperor.

Behind him was Shangguan Wanrong, half of her face was wrapped in a bandage, her beautiful eyes glanced at Nan Qingfeng fiercely across the emperor, and she followed him and bowed obediently.

"What's going on with Ling Qianjin's face?" the emperor asked.

Seeing the opportunity to declare his grievances, Shangguan Xiong straightened up and pointed at Nan Qingfeng and said, "It's all the fault of Beiming Qingfeng! Please make the decision for my Shangguan family!"

"This is nonsense!" Dongfang Chuye stood up.

The red silk covered his eyes, but it did not affect the cold aura exuding from his body.

"Qingfeng is well-behaved and sensible. There have never been rumors in the streets that she caused trouble, but I have heard about Ling Qianjin's various 'scenery'. Everyone knows what is right and what is wrong..."

"My lord, you..."

Dongfang Chuye snorted and his voice deepened, "How is this king?"

The emperor looked at Nan Qingfeng and then at Shangguan Wanrong.

One had no external injuries except fear on his face, while the other had his face covered in bandages and full of anger.

"I am also planning to come and taste your new collection of fine wine today. It seems that I can't drink it anymore. Let's settle the case first."

After saying this, the eunuch supported the emperor, and the group followed him into the flower hall.

"Miss……"

Nan Qingfeng was about to stand up when a pair of small hands helped her up. She looked up and met Huo'er's worried eyes.

"Is everything okay, miss?"

"Fortunately, you called for someone in time, otherwise it would be hard to say..."

"Ah? My servant has tried her best to urge the prince, but the prince insists on inviting the emperor to come with him, which delays the time. Fortunately, the lady is fine, otherwise..."

Nan Qingfeng's eyes lit up, "Is this the emperor you are going to invite?"

Didn't we just happen to meet him on the road?

"Yeah." Zhuo'er nodded.

What does Dongfang Chuye want to do?

Nan Qingfeng looked at the man in red robe, stood there for a while, and followed him into the flower hall.

The emperor sat on the Taishi chair, while others poured tea and water.

After taking a sip of hot tea, he raised his eyes and looked at the kneeling people.

"What's going on, who of you can tell me first?"

Nan Qingfeng immediately spoke, "Back to the Emperor, Miss Shangguan has a hard time talking, so I'd better come first."

So, he repeated what he had originally said to Bei Mingnan.

She is as timid as a mouse, how could she hit someone and still use a knife?

It was Shangguan Wanrong who had ulterior motives and intended to frame her.

"Lying! Your Majesty, she lied!"

Shangguan Wanrong was so angry that she completely forgot that she was still injured at the corner of her mouth. She screamed, and the freshly wrapped bandage began to bleed.

"Then tell me, what's going on?"

Shangguan Wanrong told the story of that day as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

He covered up his provocation and said it was Nan Qingfeng's hand.

"Your Majesty, the people from Beiming Palace came to my house today to apologize to me. There are also gifts from them on the ground!"

Shangguan Wanrong finally regained 10% and looked at Nan Qingfeng fiercely.

Nan Qingfeng said unhurriedly, "That is not a gift of apology, it is a gift to let the Shangguan family show their respect to me, Beiming Mansion, and not to frame me again."

Bei Mingnan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he looked at Nan Qingfeng with some surprise.

"You are so arrogant? I have nothing to do with Bei Ming Mansion when I go to the government office. How come I am so arrogant that you, a little girl, dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor?"

"There may be no festivals, but there may not be no conflicts of interests. Soon after, the four major families took turns to replace the imperial merchants, and it happened to be the Beiming family's turn..."

Bei Mingnan, who had been standing aside for a long time without making a sound, spoke quietly.

Sensing Shangguan Xiong's sharp eyes glaring at him, he looked calm and nodded in response.

This time it was Nan Qingfeng's turn to be surprised.

Her second brother would actually help her?

Do you think Dongfang Chuye won't lose because he's so big?

Do you still want to show your affection in front of her again?

What an old fox, his abacus is crackling.

But she won't be fooled.

Shangguan breathed in vigorously, stood up with his fists in hand and knelt on the ground.

"Even if there is a conflict of interests, we will never do this! For a woman, the most important thing is her face. How could I let my biological daughter cut her own face to replace it in order to represent the imperial merchant? The price is too high.

Big! Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

The emperor looked at everyone in the court with an expression as if shrouded in thin clouds. No one could tell what he was thinking.

"Since the testimonies of both sides are different, we need to provide some evidence. Do you two have any evidence?"

Nan Qingfeng's eyelids twitched slightly, pointing at the dagger in the corner that was kicked away by her.

"Your Majesty, please see, that is the dagger the Shangguan family used to attack me. I kicked it to the corner. Before they could take it away, the Emperor arrived."

Shangguan Xiong clasped his hands into fists and cracked his knuckles.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable for them, Shangguan Wanrong also became anxious.

Gritting his teeth, he knelt forward to face the emperor and said loudly.

"Your Majesty! There were people delivering furniture to Gu Cinema that day! If the Emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to summon those people! Those people will testify for my daughter!"

Too bad...

Nan Qingfeng's heart thumped.

She hasn't had time to communicate with those who delivered the furniture. Facing the emperor, those people must tell the truth.

By then her true colors will be revealed.

Not good...
