The man immediately leaned close to his ear and said, “Daren, this Zi Ling is the most trusted head maid of Consort Shu. Perhaps…”
The interrogating official understood the rest of the sentence.
Perhaps the other party intended to harm Consort Shu, but instead had Zi Ling shield her from harm!
As for Suo Tu’s words?
He was already slightly drunk when he left the banquet, and as Zi Ling said, how could a prince agree to have an affair with a mere palace maid in the latrine?
Therefore, it was highly likely that Suo Tu’s words were false!
Having made up his mind, the interrogating official glanced at Suo Tu and Zi Ling and then ordered someone to report the matter to the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor flew into a rage once more: “Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! How could such filth appear in the harem? If the concubines have been infected, who will take responsibility?!”
Consort Shu, upon hearing this, broke out in a cold sweat!
So, the other party was actually targeting her, but somehow Zi Ling was unlucky enough to run into them?!
It must be some concubine in the harem trying to frame her?!
Was it Consort Jing, or Consort Yun?! Or perhaps the Empress?!
While Consort Shu was anxiously suspecting a concubine with whom she had a grudge, in a side hall of Weiyang Palace, Mu Yunge was swinging her little feet, waiting for Yan Fei to bring her water to wash her feet.
Looking at her innocent expression, Yan Fei’s gaze became somewhat complicated, but he still stepped forward and placed the foot-washing basin down without changing his expression.
“Princess, it’s time to wash your feet.” Yan Fei said softly.
He never imagined that this little girl he had watched grow up would actually possess the art of soul-capturing!
Mu Yunge responded with a soft ‘hmm’ upon hearing Yan Fei’s words and then put her feet into the water.
Then she asked, “Are you thinking, ‘How could she be so wicked? So scheming?’?”
Hearing this, Yan Fei hurriedly knelt down and said, “This servant wouldn’t dare!”
Seeing this, Mu Yunge couldn’t help but snort, “Then why are you kneeling? Tell me, will you betray me?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei immediately raised his right hand and said, “This servant would absolutely not betray the Princess. If I break this oath, may I die a horrible death!”
Mu Yunge immediately said, “Alright, alright, I believe you. Quickly wash my feet.”
Yan Fei felt relieved and then reached his hands into the foot basin.
After Mu Yunge finished washing her feet, Yan Fei finally couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Princess, can Mei’er be trusted? The Emperor is investigating tonight’s events closely. What if Mei’er implicates you?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge’s lips curled slightly. “Don’t worry, I’ve erased her memory. I don’t trust anyone but you.”
Yan Fei was taken aback when he heard this, but a warm smile appeared on his face the next moment.
He then said, “Next time the Princess does something like this, just have this servant do it. Don’t dirty your hands.”
“Don’t you ask me why I treated them this way?” Mu Yunge sat on the bed looking at him.
“The Princess naturally has her reasons. They are definitely in the wrong.” Yan Fei said firmly.
Mu Yunge laughed immediately upon hearing this and then suddenly pounced on Yan Fei, wrapping her arms around his neck.
“I knew Xiao Xi was the best to me!”
The sudden warmth and softness of her body startled Yan Fei. Feeling her dependence and trust, his heart softened instantly. He held her arm tightly, never wanting to let go.
And thinking of the adoring looks the young men had given her earlier, Yan Fei couldn’t help but hug her even tighter.
