Concubine Li was stupefied by Concubine De's words and wanted to refute, but Concubine De's words were truthful and not embellished at all. Concubine Hui and Prince Chen also noticed everything she did to deliberately embarrass Murong Yue just now.

In his eyes, even if he wanted to refute, he would only be ridiculed.

"Concubine De is serious. I just had this misunderstanding just because I didn't know the identity of Princess Xingyue and saw that she was not polite when meeting me. How could I have thought that Concubine De would misunderstand me so much? I

But I have never been hostile to Princess Xingyue."

In desperation, Concubine Li could only say this, hoping to expose the matter lightly, and not to let the emperor think that she was the one who framed Murong Yue for stealing the imperial jade pendant. Otherwise, based on the emperor's attitude towards King Chen,

Pampering, even if you have your father and grandmother to support you, the emperor will relegate you to the cold palace, and you will lose all favors from then on.

After hearing Concubine Li's explanation, Concubine De just smiled gracefully and her tone was leisurely, but it was hard to hear her true inner thoughts: "That's it! Your Majesty, it seems that I have misunderstood my sister. Your Majesty, please don't

Because of my concubine’s words, I should be right to you

What kind of misunderstanding should my sister have? Otherwise, it’s my fault! Now that I think about it, it’s true. Li Fei’s sister entered the palace three years ago, and Yue’er and her sister have very little contact. Naturally,

There won’t be any bad feelings.”

"If not, think of it as the best!" The emperor nodded indifferently. Seeing Concubine Li's aggrieved and unhappy look, he frowned almost invisible, but he was not as generous as before.

As Concubine De said, although Concubine Li had no quarrel with Murong Yue, she deliberately made things difficult for Murong Yue, which made him have to dig deeper into the reason!

The emperor is the founding emperor of the country, and he is not like other emperors. He has seen many dark and dirty things about the intrigues among women in the palace since he was a child, so he does not want to see his concubines using unsightly means to compete for favor.

This false accusation of Murong Yue stealing the jade pendant was just that Concubine Li did not do it. It would be best! If Concubine Li really did it, then there is no reason to blame him for ignoring the feelings of Gu Qingyun and Mrs. Gu and sending Concubine Li to the cold palace to think about it!

"In this case, Li Quande, please ask someone to bring all the people around the palace maid Xiao Min and examine them carefully to find out who she associates with on weekdays. No matter how thorough the investigation is, has anyone seen Xiao Min today? She

Whereabouts these days

, report them all one by one!" Knowing that if Murong Yue's injustice was not found out today, King Chen would definitely be aware of it, so the emperor no longer wasted time and directly gave an order to Li Quande, the eunuch in charge behind him.

"Your Majesty! I have a way. Maybe I can find out the person behind the scenes, but..." Emperor Murong Yue, who was silent at first, really wanted to find out the real culprit. He stood up again, bowed solemnly, and then said calmly.

"Oh? Is there any way Yue'er can find out the person behind the scenes? Tell me!" The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard Murong Yue's words, and then he looked at Murong Yue inquiringly.

Hearing this, Concubine De turned her head to look at the emperor who was full of interest, and then looked back at Murong Yue who was standing confidently below. A trace of worry flashed across her bright and dignified face, and she hurriedly reminded her: "Yue'er, we are like this

Many people have no way, but you really have a way. Don't lose your balance because of impatience. Prince Chen will definitely not let you be wronged. Just rest assured and wait for the emperor to make the decision for you!"

After saying that, Concubine De frowned and said to the emperor in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Yue'er is young and ignorant. If she says something wrong, your Majesty must not argue with her..."

The emperor waved his hand gently, but instead of the previous majesty and deepness, he said kindly and gently: "It doesn't matter. Since Yue'er said there is a way, then I will listen to her. If it works, of course it is good. If she is wrong,

It’s nothing, we are all a family, just take it as a joke, Yue girl, it doesn’t matter, if you have any ideas, just say it!”

The emperor's words, "Yue girl," made everyone around take a breath and look at Murong Yue jealously. They secretly envied Murong Yue for her good luck, just because she and Prince Chen had agreed to marry her.

The emperor looked at him with new eyes.

Even the prince's concubines have never been so kind and kind to the emperor. Of course, there is also the reason why King Chen devoted all his efforts to each other.

It seems that everyone will have a different attitude towards Murong Yue from now on! Prime Minister Murong's status in the court will be even more unbreakable from now on!

Facing the emperor's favor, Murong Yue still looked calm and calm, unfazed by honor and disgrace, and said with a calm expression: "Thank you, your Majesty, but my method requires your cooperation before it can be implemented. Therefore, I

I dare to ask the emperor for help!"

After listening to Murong Yue's words, the emperor was even more curious about her method, and immediately replied without asking: "What method, just tell me, I will definitely help you!"

"The Emperor really loves Princess Xingyue! I just don't know what Princess Xingyue can do, and what kind of help does she need from the Emperor?" Concubine Li couldn't help but take it with her when she heard that the Emperor agreed to Murong Yue's request without asking any questions.

He said with a little taste.

"My daughter's method..." After hearing this, Murong Yue raised her head, looked at the emperor, and whispered softly: "It is necessary for the emperor to issue an imperial edict, asking everyone in the palace to stamp their fingerprints on a piece of white paper.

Then let people

Check the remaining fingerprints on the jade pendant. The jade pendant is the beloved object of Concubine Hui, and few people must be able to touch it. As long as the lines on someone's fingers are the same as those on the jade pendant, they are the people who have touched the jade pendant."

Murong Yue's words are unbelievable to everyone present. Everyone has seen many various investigation methods, but they have never heard of starting with fingerprints.

Concubine Shu sneered at that moment: "I have never heard of this method of solving a case. So what if there are two, or even more than two, people whose fingerprints are the same as the fingerprints left on the jade pendant? How can we confirm it?

Who is the person who stole the jade pendant?"

When Murong Yue faced Concubine Shu's question, she felt no displeasure in her heart. There was no doubt that Concubine Shu's words must have been what everyone present wanted to ask, and it was just Concubine Shu who said it!

Thinking of this, Murong Yue raised her lips with a confident and firm smile, and looked around. As expected, whether it was Concubine Li, Concubine Hui, Concubine De, or the emperor, Li Dequan, all had doubts on their faces.

When her eyes moved to King Chen, Murong Yue was startled.

I thought that King Chen would feel incredible about his words like others, but I didn't expect that King Chen's pair of bright star eyes would actually look at me inquiringly, with surprise, admiration and appreciation in his eyes.

, the only thing missing was the look of suspicion on everyone's faces.

Does he actually believe in himself?

She was surprised, but Murong Yue still said confidently: "After I regained my consciousness, I once had nothing to do and liked to study all kinds of reading materials. I once read in a book that although there are countless people in the world,

In the Qing Dynasty's population, there were even many people who looked exactly the same, but their fingerprints were unique to each person.

The most unique mark on a person's body, each person's fingerprint is unique, and no one will have the same fingerprint. If the emperor and the empresses have doubts, why not take advantage of today's opportunity to let everyone in the palace know it?

Print your fingerprints to verify it, if it is true that it is true..."

"If Yue'er's words are false, I am willing to be punished on Yue'er's behalf!" Before Murong Yue finished speaking, King Chen, who had been silent, spoke decisively without any hesitation.

Murong Yue's heart warmed, and she raised her eyes to look at King Chen. What she looked into was a pair of absolute trust, a tender feeling that said I am there for everything.

Murong Yue's heart warmed, and then she turned her head firmly and said to the emperor: "If there is a lie, I am willing to bear any punishment alone!".

As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Yue felt that the warm gaze that looked at her had changed, becoming as sharp as a knife, with a hint of anger and hurt.

"Hahahaha! Look at these two children!" The emperor's laughter rang out, and Long Xin said happily: "The relationship between these two children seems to be much better than I imagined! Look, they can't let each other go.

Being punished!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Concubine De also said with a smile: "It seems that the Emperor's decision was a wise one. Yue'er and Xing'er are really in love with each other!"

The emperor nodded and asked: "Concubine De, if I remember correctly, in less than a year, Yue'er will be a hairpin girl! It seems that we can start preparations for Xing'er's marriage!"

Concubine De's smile condensed, she met the emperor's deep gaze, and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is true, but it's just that there is still one year left, so we are preparing for the marriage. Isn't it too hasty?"

"No rush! My son is getting married. Naturally, the whole country must celebrate it. It must be done in the most respectful way. We cannot let other countries look down upon us! Li Dequan!" The emperor said no more and turned to Li Dequan behind him.

commanded.

"The slave is here!" Li Dequan hurriedly bent down to respond.

"I will tell the Minister of Etiquette later to prepare all the matters for Xing'er on the day of her wedding!"

"Yes!" Li Dequan smiled happily and immediately turned his head to congratulate Prince Chen: "I am here to first congratulate Prince Chen and Princess Xingyue!"

King Chen still responded indifferently to Li Dequan's congratulations, but lazily said to the emperor: "Father, Yue'er is still waiting for your reply!"

Seeing King Chen's urging, the emperor laughed and said: "That's right! I was so happy that I forgot about this matter! Yue girl, since I just said that I would agree to cooperate with you, and regardless of whether the method is effective or not, I will not hold you accountable.

It is my responsibility to treat it as a joke, and of course I keep my word! Don't let me be the person who breaks my word, and I can't change my words!" This is a rebuttal.
