"Your Majesty, this matter was due to my subordinate's negligence. At that time, Your Highness Su Yiting was drunk. I was worried that His Highness would catch a cold due to the cool autumn wind, so I left privately to find a cloak for His Highness to keep out the cold."

Qingchuan took his time and explained to His Majesty in front of him.

Although there was a huge difference between what he said and the truth, he had just heard what His Highness Su Yiting said outside the palace, so he chose to continue making up the story based on what Su Yiting said.

"As a personal attendant, I have left my post without authorization. Your Majesty and Your Highness, please punish me!"

Qingchuan also opened his mouth to take the blame for this matter on himself. Seeing this, Concubine Dong Guifei on the side once again found the right opportunity to intercede.

"Your Majesty, I think what happened on the boat today is really strange. Someone must have deliberately planned all this!"

"The people behind the scenes tried every means to drive away the people around my son. They wanted to take advantage of Yi Ting's drunkenness to blame Yi Ting for the crime of desecrating the palace!"

Concubine Dong Guifei not only wiped out all the faults on Su Yiting, she also portrayed Su Yiting as a victim.

"Your Majesty, you have watched Yi Ting grow up. You know this child's temperament. He is the most filial to your father. He is always well-informed and sensible. How could such a Yi Ting make peace with the imperial concubine?

Things?"

Concubine Dong's words made His Majesty hesitate, and during this gap, Concubine Dong directly pointed the finger at Rui Guiren!

"Mr. Ruigui, you are a woman recommended to the palace by the county magistrate Lin Haishan. Now, the magistrate Lin is in the sky prison and will be executed every day. His Majesty does not want you to have anything to do with this matter, so he will send you to the palace."

Confined in the palace."

"According to common sense, you should never show up at today's Qiqiao Festival Palace Banquet. Who let you out of the palace?"

"If you don't explain everything clearly, then don't blame me for using the palace rules to deal with you!"

Concubine Dong Gui threatened Rui Guiren. Rui Guiren had something in his heart, but now that he was threatened by Concubine Dong, he suddenly started to tremble.

"Your Majesty, look at Rui Gui's frightened look. All this must have been planned by this ***! She was jealous that I could get His Majesty's favor, so she wanted to use this method to destroy my son Su.

Yi Ting!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me, my concubine, and my son!"

Concubine Dong Guifei threw herself into His Majesty's arms with pear blossoms in the rain, crying so sweetly that His Majesty was about to let go when she saw it, but Concubine Jiang immediately said with quick eyes and quick words, she came up with suggestions again.

"Your Majesty, how about we use the experienced midwives in Xuan Palace!"

"Since Concubine Dong and His Highness Su Yiting both say that they are innocent, I thought that in order to avoid anyone gossiping about His Highness Su Yiting in the future, I might as well invite the nun who is responsible for delivering babies in the palace today!"

"The nuns in this palace know the best about men and women. Rui Gui and His Highness Su Yiting were caught by all of us. If they really haven't done those sloppy things, Your Majesty will be fine.

Punish them lightly!"

Concubine Jiang finally waited until the day when Concubine Dong and her son were in trouble. How could she let Concubine Dong and her son off so easily?

"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity to completely clear His Highness Su Yiting's name. I know that Your Majesty has high hopes for His Highness Su Yiting, so I think Your Majesty doesn't want future generations to judge His Highness Su Yiting's life, right?

"

Concubine Jiang's words directly woke up His Majesty.

"Well, Concubine Jiang, you can find the nuns in the palace and trust Yi Ting. If people in the world misunderstand Yi Ting because of this matter, that will be the biggest loss to the royal family!"

Your Majesty has the final say.

"Yes, I will let someone do it now!"

Concubine Jiang hurriedly left the imperial study to arrange the matter. But Su Yiting, who was kneeling on the ground, could not hold back at this moment.

He knew very well whether he had any physical contact with the Ruigui man next to him!

If the mother-in-law who delivered the baby in the palace could really see it, then all the words he just said would be overturned!

Su Yiting

Although he knew that his father loved him very much, even if the emperor loved him again, he would not condone his deception.

Su Yiting had no choice but to look at his mother and concubine for help!

When Concubine Dong was "crying" in His Majesty's arms, she saw Su Yiting's eyes asking for help. With just one look, Concubine Dong knew that mother and son were in danger again!

"Your Majesty, Lady Rui is your Majesty's concubine, and Yi Ting is your Majesty's prince. If a midwife with a sword is allowed to prove their identity for them, where will the dignity of my royal family go?"

Concubine Dong racked her brains to try to convince His Majesty.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, although the status of the nuns who deliver babies is not high, they are also the royal midwives in my palace. Isn't it a bit exaggerated to say that they will damage the face of the royal family?"

After Concubine Jiang finished giving orders to the palace people, she returned to the imperial study room again. She heard Concubine Dong lobbying His Majesty and smiled to stop her.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, I and Sister Imperial Concubine are both mothers, and we will do our best for our children. Now, His Highness Su Yiting is being wronged. He only needs a little verification from the midwife, and His Highness can be cleared of injustice."

, the imperial concubine’s sister tried every means to obstruct this matter, could it be that she doesn’t want to see His Highness Su Yiting clear his name?”

"you……!"

Concubine Dong Gui felt very angry when she heard Concubine Jiang's sharp-tongued retort.

Thinking about these things today carefully, Concubine Dong Gui always felt that something was wrong. Now she saw Concubine Jiang targeting the mother and son everywhere, and she came to the conclusion in her heart - all these things were planned by Concubine Jiang in front of them to frame them.

!

Thinking of this, Concubine Dong Gui felt anger and hatred in her heart. She pretended to be weak and leaned on His Majesty's chest and said.

"Your Majesty, what Sister Jiang Fei said is really hurtful."

"Yi Ting is the remaining child of my ten-month pregnancy. How could I not want my child to be wronged?"

"The reason why I didn't want the nun who delivered the baby to be involved in this just now is because I didn't want the scandal in the palace to spread like this!"

"Although my concubine's son Su Yiting has suffered injustice, his injustice is nothing compared with the face of Your Majesty and the royal family!"

"I was thinking about the overall situation, so I thought about wronging Yi Ting. I didn't expect that when it came to Concubine Jiang's sister, it would become my fault. I was really wronged..."

Concubine Dong put a great deal of truth on the table, hoping to use these words to stop His Majesty from continuing the investigation.

"Father, I am willing to take on any burden for the royal family. This is what I should do as a prince!" Seeing that his mother and concubine understood what he meant, Su Yiting followed closely and pretended to be

With a righteous look, he said, "Father, you can punish me directly! Father does not need to care about my son's life and death. As long as it is for the good of my father and the good of the royal family, I will have no regrets even if my son dies!"

The words of Su Yiting and Dong Guifei almost made Concubine Jiang beside her laugh out loud.

Sure enough, when it comes to being shameless, Concubine Dong and her son are the best at it!

"Your Highness Su Yiting, do you think that only these few people here know what happened on the boat today?"

"Today is the palace banquet of the Qiqiao Festival. The imperial concubine felt ill and retired to rest. She didn't know that everyone at the Qiqiao Festival banquet witnessed this. Is it difficult for you to forget, Your Highness Su Yiting?"

"Now, all the children of officials in the fifth rank and above in Kyoto have seen it. This matter is already known to everyone. Your Majesty, if you really want to protect the face of the royal family, the best way is to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Then he was severely punished!"

"In this way, everyone in the world will know that the face of the royal family is inviolable! Your Majesty is extremely majestic!"

"If this matter is really ignored as His Highness Su Yiting and the concubine sister said, then it will truly bring shame to the royal family!"

Concubine Jiang approved both Concubine Dong and her son.

"Your Majesty, the people at the Qiqiao Festival palace banquet outside have not dispersed yet. This year's palace banquet has already come to an end. If even this matter is concluded hastily, Your Majesty, where will your face be concerned?

?」

In the past, the Qiqiao Festival was not a big deal. At that time, the country had a vast territory and a large population. Your Majesty never worried about the population.

But over the years, due to successive wars, the people have been displaced and the population has dropped sharply. In addition, there have been constant disasters and disasters. If there is a slight disturbance, it is the people of Li who will eventually lose their lives.

Seeing that the population is decreasing day by day, His Majesty proposed to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival as an important ceremony.

His Majesty's original intention is that young men and women can get to know each other and have children.

"What Concubine Jiang said is absolutely true. I will never settle this hastily. Please bring the midwife from the palace."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Concubine Jiang convinced His Majesty and felt happy, so it didn't take long before she brought her nanny.

"I will join you, Your Majesty."

"Mommy, can you really tell whether a person is cheating or not by looking at his body?"

"Your Majesty, sexual intercourse between men and women will leave more or less traces on the body. As long as there is no time to clean it carefully afterwards, the clues can be found on the body."

"Okay, in that case, you can start investigating. I give you the right."

After His Majesty asked clearly, he directly let the midwife handle the matter.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty, I will make preparations now."

Mammy acted very quickly. After a while, they built a tent with cloth in the center of the imperial study room, and Rui Gui was brought in first.

As soon as she entered the tent, she knelt down directly in front of her grandma.

"Mommy, please..."

Rui Guiren knew that he could not avoid being noticed by the midwife, so he knelt down directly in front of her.

She knew that His Majesty would never spare her after learning the truth, and the only person who could save her now was the midwife in front of her.

"Ruigui people..."

When the midwife saw Rui Guiren acting like this, she already knew it, and she quickly pulled him up.

"My lord, you asked me to cover up for you, but there are three people responsible for the inspection today. Do you know that if I lied, my entire family would be dead?"

She couldn't help the Ruigui man in front of her, and she didn't want to.

It is a capital crime for a concubine to cause filth in the palace. How could the midwife come forward before it was too late to hide?

"My lord, please lie down. As a lord, please check yourself."

"..."

When Rui Guiren heard what her grandma said, her whole heart felt like death. She climbed up on the stage numbly and closed her eyes in despair...

After a while, the midwife came out of the tent.

"Mommy, how are you? Are there any traces of having fun with men on your body, Rui Gui?"

With a solemn look on his face, His Majesty asked the midwife for an answer. Suyi Ting, who was kneeling beside him, had his heart raised directly to his throat.
