Chapter 127 Wasn't her adopted sister always gentle and kind?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I truly have no knowledge of any eunuchs!"

Consort Liu trembled with fright and immediately knelt down.

This beauty Yao is truly remarkable; a few casual words from her were enough to arouse the Emperor's suspicion.

She tried to smear Consort Yao by saying she was unclean, but the other party turned around and said the assassin was a eunuch, and even seemed to be thinking of her in every way, so that the emperor could find out which eunuch.

Fortunately, the people she arranged escaped; otherwise, if the emperor had caught them and subjected them to severe interrogation, she would have been doomed.

"I have truly spoiled you rotten over the years. You have managed the harem to such an extent that from now on you will be demoted from Imperial Concubine to a regular concubine and confined to the main hall for three months to reflect on your actions!"

Emperor Wenjian was already certain in his heart that this was a scheme orchestrated by Consort Liu, but considering their years of relationship and some mutual interests, he couldn't punish her too harshly.

However, such a punishment was already the worst possible punishment for Consort Liu.

Consort Liu, utterly distraught, collapsed. "Your Majesty! You...you can't do this! I'm truly innocent!"

She wanted to plead for him, but Emperor Wenjian ignored her and, after picking Yao Meiren up from the bed, left the Consort's palace without a second thought.

"You slut! You're such a slut!"

Consort Liu watched Emperor Wenjian leave with Consort Yao in his arms and cursed in resentment.

She knew that this time she was likely to really fall out of favor for a long time.

This beauty Yao is truly much more difficult to deal with than any other woman in the harem. It's been a long time since she's encountered such a formidable opponent.

Yao Meiren was held in Emperor Wenjian's arms, her head buried in his chest.

When no one was looking, a smug smile crept onto her lips.

Consort Liu, this is just the beginning.

She will make Consort Liu pay for the blood debt owed to their family sooner or later!

On the other side.

Prince Xiao was kept in the capital and moved into the Prince Xiao Mansion, which was bestowed by the emperor.

Coincidentally, the newly bestowed residence was not far from the Crown Prince's residence; the two residences were separated by only one street and were neighbors across the street.

Chu Yan was overjoyed, as this would allow her to visit Su Liluo more often.

"Luo'er, we're really destined to be together! We were neighbors when we were little, and now that we've grown up and gotten married, we're not only sisters-in-law, but also neighbors again!"

Chu Yan teased Su Lilu with a smile.

On this sunny and warm day, Chu Yan came to visit the Crown Prince's residence early in the morning.

Su Liluo peeled a longan and fed it to Chu Yan, saying with a doting smile, "Then you must come visit me often when you have time. Oh, and you can bring your adopted sister over when you have time too."

Chu Yan has a sworn sister who inherited everything from Chu Yan after Chu Yan's death in her previous life.

Her parents, her husband, and even Chu Yan used her to cultivate a good image of gratitude in people's minds.

If it weren't for an accidental discovery that allowed Su Liluo to see the true face of her adopted sister Chu Yan, she would never have imagined that Chu Yan would die such a tragic death.

Chu Yan was her only good friend in the capital. Now that she knew this in this life, she absolutely could not let her repeat the same mistake.

Calling her adopted sister over was also to expose her as soon as possible, so that Chu Yan would know what kind of people were around her.

"You mean Yoon-ah? She's even more lively and playful than me. She's only been back in the capital for a short time, and she's already gone out shopping with her maid, saying she wants to see the prosperity of the capital."

I was exhausted after a day of shopping with her, but she never seemed to mind, going out shopping every day.

Speaking of her sworn sister, Chu Yan smiled and sighed, her eyes full of doting affection.

It is evident that she doted on her adopted sister as if she were her own sister.

Seeing Chu Yan's completely unaware expression, Su Liluo pondered for a moment before saying, "Hey, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've gone shopping. How about we go find your adopted sister? I haven't seen her yet!"

"Sure, I don't have anything else to do anyway."

Chu Yan thought for a moment and agreed.

So, the two asked a maid in the Xiao Prince's mansion which street Chu Yan's sworn sister Chu Yun had gone to, and then followed her there.

The two sat in the carriage, and Chu Yan lifted the curtain to admire the splendor of the imperial city.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians and vendors lined up, their laughter and shouts creating a lively atmosphere.

"Hey, what's going on over there? It looks like there are a lot of people gathered there?"

Suddenly, Chu Yan pointed to a spot not far away and said.

Su Liluo followed the gaze and immediately recognized it as one of her jewelry shops.

"Yan'er, let's go down and take a look!"

Su Liluo said.

There were so many people gathered in front of her shop, it looked like something had happened, so naturally she had to go down and check it out.

"Young lady, it's only right that you pay for the damage you caused, but not only do you refuse to pay, you even hit us!"

"I didn't break these things, so get out of the way right now!"

Before they even stepped into their shop, Su Liluo and the others heard arguing coming from the doorway.

Chu Yan frowned. "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lilu raised an eyebrow, a guess forming in her mind.

So she pulled Chu Yan and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

Sure enough, at the entrance of her jewelry shop, her shop assistants were surrounding several women, preventing them from leaving.

There were four women surrounding them, two of whom appeared to be young ladies, while the other two were maids.

They are facing away from you.

But Chu Yan still recognized the figure from behind. She exclaimed to Su Liluo, "That, isn't that my sworn sister? What happened?"
