"Your Majesty, this eldest lady of the Zhao family is a good woman who doesn't study, but she is interested in these strange arts and crooked ways. I heard that she also likes to deal with corpses, and now she is delving into this kind of magic. I don't know what's the purpose of this strange technique. In Dasheng Dynasty, it is most forbidden to pretend to be a sorcerer. This so-called pupil technique is so strange, and the people in the palace are already apprehensive." Princess Zhaoren said in a sad but angry voice.

This... Emperor Ming was also in trouble. He didn't have to listen to anyone, but he never dared to disobey the words of his own imperial sister.

Emperor Ming's biological mother died at an early age, and he had been battling with the open and secret struggles of the princes. He was always walking on thin ice. Only this imperial sister had taken good care of him and supported him. Speaking of which, he was able to secure the throne, partly due to the credit of this imperial sister.

Zhao Ruo, who had been kneeling on the ground, also interjected at the right time. "Your Majesty, the concubine can prove that her sister had been abnormal since the fire that day, always doing things that she would not normally do. Even her temperament is very different from before, this concubine thought that it was because my sister was possessed by an evil spirit in that fire that she became so strange."

Zhao Ling was really convinced by Zhao Ruo's imagination, she could even figure out the possession of evil spirits. This was because she made up her mind to position herself as a demon girl.

However, after Zhao Ruo said this, everyone felt that it made some sense. Originally, they thought that Zhao Ling, as a daughter who was raised in a deep boudoir, knew the techniques of autopsy, which was a bit different from ordinary people. Now that they saw that she knew these strange techniques that they had never heard of, and some people were explained the connection with evil spirit possession, it made sense to them.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at her became even more frightened.

Emperor Ming was not stupid. He naturally knew that his imperial sister was holding onto Zhao Ling's pigtails for the sake of Meng Yuan's ruthless rejection of marriage with Anping last year on Qixi Festival, which made her lose face. He glanced embarrassedly at Meng Yuan, whose face was getting uglier by the seconds, and then glanced at Zhao Ling, who was still calm as usual.

"Hmph, what this meant was very clear just now. You are the emperor, so naturally everything is up to the emperor." Princess Zhaoren said coldly.

She had always been used to being domineering. Seeing that she couldn't even win a little girl, she felt depressed, not to mention that this girl was the future princess of King Xuan. Thinking of the humiliation she suffered last year, she became furious.

She didn't believe that with her identity and status, she couldn't resolve a little girl's situation. What about the Xuan Wang Mansion? If it wasn't for her daughter's deep love for this Meng Yuan, she would have already shown her color to the Xuan Wang Mansion.

Emperor Ming naturally heard Princess Zhaoren's impatience and anger, but in desperation, he had to follow her wishes and ordered Zhao Ling to be taken to the Heavenly Prison for temporary detention. He had to make another decision.

Horizontal and vertical are only temporarily detained for a few days, first to dispel the anger of Princess Zhaoren, and the rest can be discussed in the long run.

Emperor Ming felt that he had done his best to this second son, but Meng Yuan obviously did not accept his affection. 

Seeing that several eunuchs were about to step forward to lift Zhao Ling up again, Meng Yuan protected Zhao Ling with a frosty look on his face, without giving in half a step. "As long as this king is here, no one can touch her at all."

This was the rhythm that set out the purpose of resistance.

Some unmarried women present looked at Zhao Ling enviously and thought: This eldest lady of the Zhao family was really lucky, if there was a man who will openly defy the decree and challenge the authority of the emperor in order to protect them, even if he is crippled, did it matter?

The eyes of Anping County's always cold eyes seemed to be able to spew fire at this moment. How could this woman allow the cold-hearted and heartless King Xuan to do this? Why couldn't she compare to her? In terms of background, talent, and looks, she was not inferior to her. Why did King Xuan despise her, and only had a special liking for this woman?

"Presumptuous, King Xuan, are you going to openly rebel against the decree?" Meng Tianluo, standing behind Emperor Ming, rebuked righteously and sternly.

Only he himself knew how much he wished that Meng Yuan could really rebel, so that he could justifiably drive him to the bottom of the valley, and there would be no day to turn over again.

"This king only wants her to be safe." In the face of Meng Tianluo's deliberate provocation, Meng Yuan's expression did not change, but he tightened his grip on Zhao Ling's hand, as if to announce to everyone that in order to protect this woman, even if he had to rebel, he would not hesitate.

When Emperor Ming saw this, his heart sank and his eyebrows furrowed. This second child actually had such a deep love for the Zhao family girl. Judging from this posture, he could actually rebel.

Zhao Ling was naturally moved by Meng Yuan's unprincipled doting and support of her. She was also well aware of Meng Tianluo's incitement.

Then, let her be the one who puts out the fire. She knew that as a ruler, emperor Ming wouldn't want to see someone under him turn into a rage, which was an invisible threat to his throne. And she would never let Meng Yuan fall into such a dangerous situation, and she would never give those who are waiting for the fallout to hurt him.

She took Meng Yuan's hand back, and wrote the word "Reassurance" on his palm with her fingers, and then said indifferently to Emperor Ming. "Your Majesty, the minister's daughter daughter is willing to go to the Heavenly Prison.. If you investigate carefully, you will definitely be able to restore the innocence of your servant's daughter."
