Chapter 20 We can't let the Crown Prince lose his innocence!

“I am not talking nonsense. If Father Emperor does not believe me, he can send someone to ask His Highness the Crown Prince if this is true.”

Su Liluo said firmly.

When Consort Liu heard that she was to question the Crown Prince, she no longer dared to act wildly. She knew that the Crown Prince was definitely in cahoots with the Crown Princess.

If the emperor really summoned the crown prince for this reason, wouldn't I be branded as having ulterior motives?

Consort Liu immediately composed herself.

Feigning surprise, she asked, "Is what you're saying true? Did that old woman really slander me like that?"

Seeing the rapid change in Consort Liu's expression, Su Liluo knew that she had compromised and did not want to investigate any further.

At the same time, Su Liluo also understood that Consort Liu was currently enjoying the emperor's favor.

If I insist on exposing Consort Liu's true colors in front of the Emperor, even if the Emperor punishes her in the end, he will probably take his anger out on me.

Consort Liu only had the Crown Prince mistreated, which was not an unforgivable crime in the Emperor's eyes. At most, her punishment would be confinement for a period of time.

Moreover, the Liu family is currently highly valued by the emperor. If I don't know when to stop and make things difficult for the emperor, he will definitely hold a grudge.

Therefore, Su Liluo nodded.

"Yes, that old woman was indeed framing the Imperial Concubine. I think the Imperial Concubine is kind-hearted and definitely not that kind of person, so I don't believe that wicked servant at all."

Seeing that the Imperial Concubine was willing to punish her daughter-in-law for the sake of a servant today, I feel that the Imperial Concubine is truly a good person and should not be deceived or framed.

Her words were a veiled criticism, praising Consort Liu for her righteousness in standing up for her servants while subtly criticizing her for repaying kindness with enmity.

Although we were misled, it still didn't sound good.

Emperor Wenjian naturally understood the meaning behind those words.

He sighed, "You've really wronged the Crown Princess today. You saved the Imperial Concubine's life, and the Imperial Concubine should repay you!"

This was an attempt to compensate her with money; Su Liluo understood the meaning behind these words.

She replied modestly, "Father, you are too kind. This is what your daughter-in-law should do."

Consort Liu felt utterly disgusted. She had originally intended to torture and punish Su Liluo today, but instead, she not only failed to torture her, but was also given a reward.

But since the emperor had spoken, she naturally couldn't disobey.

So, he had no choice but to give Su Lilu a few things as a reward.

As night fell, Xiao Ye asked his servant, Su Liluo, several times if she had returned.

He was quite surprised when he heard for the third time that Su Liluo had returned with a large box of gifts intact.

"You mean the Crown Princess returned with gifts from the palace?"

Xiao Ye seriously doubted what he had heard.

Why would someone like Consort Liu summon Su Liluo to the palace? Wasn't it just to torment her and vent her anger?

Why would they still give her a reward?

The servant nodded. "Yes, the Crown Princess said that those were gifts from Consort Liu and that we should put them in the storeroom for safekeeping."

Xiao Ye then realized he hadn't misheard and waved for the servant to leave.

It summons forth the hidden chill of the night.

"Go and find out what happened in the palace today."

This Su Liluo is becoming more and more amazing.

Several more days passed, and the weather grew increasingly cold.

Su Liluo was in the room reading medical books and studying the Tianyi Divine Needle.

Suddenly, a maidservant hurriedly knocked on the door.

After coming in, I handed her a brownish-yellow invitation card.

"Your Highness, this is an invitation to the plum blossom appreciation banquet from Princess Ronglin's residence."

"A plum blossom appreciation banquet?"

Su Liluo asked in confusion, then took the invitation.

The sign read, "Invitation to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to attend the annual plum blossom viewing banquet."

She recalled that there was also a plum blossom appreciation banquet in her previous life, and she had also received an invitation.

At that time, he was not close to the crown prince.

Xiao Ye wasn't interested in any of that; she went to the banquet alone.

At the plum blossom viewing banquet, she was ridiculed and bullied, while Su Wanshi stole the show and won the title of a talented woman.

It was around that time that she noticed the King of Chu's infatuated gaze towards Su Wanshi, and discovered his feelings for her.

Originally, Su Wanshi was not a suitable match for the King of Chu, but after she gained the reputation of being a talented woman, she used the wealth of the first wife to do good deeds.

In the end, her fame spread throughout the Great Liang Dynasty, and even the notoriously difficult Consort Liu agreed to her marriage to the Prince of Chu.

Thinking of this, Su Liluo's lips curled into a mocking smile.

She's definitely going to the plum blossom viewing banquet. With her there this time, Su Wanshi can forget about getting these things like she did in her previous life.

She wanted to return all the ridicule Su Wanshi had inflicted on her in her past life.

So, Su Liluo took the invitation and walked towards Xiao Ye's courtyard.

As soon as Su Liluo entered Xiao Ye's courtyard, she heard a series of smashing sounds coming from inside the house, and all the servants in the courtyard ran away.

Su Liluo knew something was wrong and immediately rushed into Xiao Ye's house.

Xiao Ye was found with disheveled hair, tied to a chair in a sorry state, and all the porcelain tables and chairs in the room were smashed and broken.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Su Liluo quickly went up and hugged him.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar person flew out from the shadows.

"Your Highness, His Highness is suffering from a relapse of the poison and could easily harm you. You should quickly take them and leave."

Ye Han said to Su Liluo with a serious expression.

He shouldn't have appeared in front of Su Liluo so casually, but the situation was urgent and he had no choice but to appear.

Su Liluo looked at him warily: "Who are you?"
