Chapter 56 Rong Jing Returns

lecting my duty; I just don’t think it necessary. She’s merely a weak woman who has done nothing more than others here. If everyone else has killed people, wouldn't they be guilty too"Li Yun secretly...Chapter 56: Rong Jing Returns

After Yun Wu finished speaking, he looked at the old man smugly as the latter's expression changed.

The old man’s face turned pale for a moment before he became enraged, "Yun Wu, I always thought that you were just stealing chickens and dogs, engaging in small mischief because your father spoiled you. No big deal. Never did I think that you would lie today, tarnishing the reputation of your grandfather and grandmother, falsely accusing your third uncle as not being a blood relative You are simply an unreasonable person!"

"Second Uncle, what I said is true!" Yun Wu glared at the old man with his neck stiffened and refused to back down.

The old man seemed livid; he stared angrily at Yun Wu as if he would have slapped him had it been appropriate. He turned around and knelt in front of the elderly emperor, affirmatively stating, "Your Majesty, don’t listen to the nonsense spouted by this young rascal! My third brother is indeed my blood-related younger brother. Since a young age, he has been causing trouble while Yun Li has always been obedient. Seeing that Yun Li has now become the crown prince of the Prince’s Manor, he harbors resentment and slanders him. It's simply detestable. I hope Your Majesty will thoroughly investigate this matter and not believe his lies."

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true!" Yun Wu also quickly knelt down with a sincere tone, afraid that the old emperor would disbelieve him; he kept saying, "Your Majesty can take out my family’s genealogy from the Prince's Manor and compare it. It will be evident."

"They each hold their own version of events! This makes it difficult for me to distinguish between right and wrong!" The old emperor looked at the two kneeling in front of him, turning his head to look at the drowsy Cloud Old王爺, “Old King Uncle, what do you say”

"Old minister still stands by my previous words. If Your Majesty believes this young rascal’s words, then investigate! If it turns out I’m guilty, I will submit myself to punishment. Otherwise, Your Majesty must give me an explanation. Throughout my life, I have experienced countless instances of being betrayed and slandered from behind. I assume Your Majesty can understand. Old minister will certainly uncover the mastermind behind this plot and won’t let them off easily." Cloud Old王爺 did not look at the old emperor as he said this with a snort.

The old emperor was silent with a stern face, seemingly deep in thought about how to rule on this matter.

"Your Majesty, I believe there’s no smoke without fire! Since Yun Wu has come forward to testify, there must be something suspicious! I advise Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate." A court official stood up and respectfully spoke to the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, I also think it should be investigated!" another court official stood up.

"Your Majesty, since this matter has arisen, I believe it needs investigation. If there’s no wrongdoing at Prince’s Manor, then we must clear their name; if they are guilty of deceiving the previous emperor, that would be a major crime and must be punished accordingly." Another official stood up to say.

"…"

Half of the officials who were originally watching this spectacle in court got up to advise the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, look at all these people advising you to investigate! Why don’t you do so After investigating, we can celebrate with joy. Today is Yun Li and Qi Er’s wedding day!" The gentle voice of Ming Fei sounded after everyone had given their advice.

The old emperor neither nodded nor shook his head; he looked at Cloud王爺, "Brother Cloud Prince, how do you see this matter I really find it difficult! It's not that I don't trust your loyalty to the crown or that of Old King Uncle and Brother. The truth is, Yun Wu belongs to your Prince’s Manor family too! If he comes forward with accusations, it's impossible for me not to be troubled."

Cloud王爺’s face turned pale as he stood up but did not immediately answer the old emperor; instead, he looked at Cloud Qianyue.

"Right, there’s still Yue Erniao! What are your thoughts Do you want me to investigate or not" The old emperor followed Cloud王爺's gaze and looked at Cloud Qianyue with deep eyes.

"Investigate!" Cloud Qianyue coldly spat out a word, raising her eyebrows. "Why shouldn’t I investigate Such matters must be thoroughly investigated." Having said that, she approached Yun Wu.

Seeing Cloud Qianyue coming towards him, Yun Wu's kneeling body involuntarily retreated in fear.

Cloud Qianyue watched as he backed away but did not stop her steps; instead, she kept advancing.

"Yue Erniao, if we’re going to investigate, Yun Wu can’t be killed!" The old emperor reminded Cloud Qianyue.

"Of course I won't kill him! Not only will he not die, but he must live. He must allow me to find out who’s behind this before he dies." Cloud Qianyue's voice was like shattered frost and snow, forcing Yun Wu into a corner where he had nowhere else to retreat; his face turned ashen with shock as she stared at him. She only stopped when her eyes met his, squatting down beside him, looking steadily into his eyes and speaking calmly, "Who ordered you"

"N... nobody..." Yun Wu shook his head.

"Nobody" Cloud Qianyue’s gaze shot out a clear light that locked onto Yun Wu's pupils. "Speak!"

"R-r-really...

really...not..." Yun Wu dared not look into Yun Qianyue's eyes but couldn't help glancing at her face. When he saw the clear and tranquil gaze in her eyes, his shaking head immediately stopped.

"Say it! I'll give you a chance! Just tell me who is behind this and what benefits were given to you. In return, I will ensure your prosperity and longevity. Otherwise...you are doomed. Remember, once you die, no matter what benefits they offer you, you won't need them anymore. Nothing is more important than life."

The voice of Yun Qianyue remained calm as she knelt before Yun Wu, discussing the matter of life and death with a casualness akin to deciding what food or tea to have on any given day.

"I...," Yun Wu seemed like he had turned into a wooden sculpture. His fearful voice became hesitant.

Suddenly, an ornamental fan flew out from among the guests and landed squarely between Yun Qianyue and Yun Wu with a "snap." The jade fan with its twelve ribs opened up to cover Yun Wu's face as a warm smile accompanied by a gentle tone echoed, "Miss Yun Qianyue is in the wrong! Using soul-snatching techniques on someone who can't defend themselves may lead to false confessions!"

Yun Qianyue turned her head and saw Cang Ting standing tall between herself and Yun Wu. He was waving a fan, blocking Yun Wu's view of her. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a somewhat casual tone, "Young Master Cang is restless I thought it was someone else behind this; turns out it's you!"

"You誤會了！在下出身十大世家蒼家，對旁門左道多有防範。見此滿堂賓客無人阻止淺月小姐使用邪術逼供，便出來相救。說本少主是幕後主使自然是錯的，但管閒事的罪責卻也擔得起。”蒼亭笑了一聲緩緩說道。

"Is that so" Yun Qianyue glanced at Cang Ting with a light, indifferent gaze.

“自然！我家門風甚嚴，見不得淺月小姐這等邪術伎倆。” 蒼亭微笑著答道。

"Moonie! How could you use the Nanyang soul-snatching technique on Yun Wu" The old emperor's voice came from behind, laced with anger. “When did you learn it”

Yun Qianyue slowly stood up and turned to look at the old emperor, asking him, "Uncle Emperor, is the Nanyang soul-snatching technique a demonic art"

The old emperor seemed momentarily at a loss for words.

"Young Master Cang! Is the Nanyang soul-snatching technique considered a demonic practice" Yun Qianyue asked again, turning to face Cang Ting.

"The spells of the Nanyang cannot be simply called orthodox techniques either." Cang Ting countered with a question instead of an answer, still smiling.

"Young Master Cang is overthinking! This is merely hypnosis. It makes people reveal their true thoughts while in a relaxed state. Hypnosis is far less powerful than soul-snatching; if it were soul-snatching, you would have been too late to stop me now and Yun Wu would already be dead." With a cold smile, Yun Qianyue turned and walked back to her seat.

Cang Ting was momentarily stunned. He lifted the fan away from Yun Wu's face and saw him staring at Cang Ting with wide eyes in confusion. Cang Ting coughed lightly, then laughed, "Everyone thought Miss Yun Qianyue is spoiled and ignorant, but it seems she has a vast knowledge of hypnosis techniques—something unheard of!"

"Ignorance is an excuse for those who are uninformed." Yun Qianyue replied coldly without turning.

“人無完人，學無止境。在下這點無知似乎也不算過！” 蒼亭合上十二骨的玉扇，緩步走回座位。

"Young Master Cang seems particularly concerned about this matter!" Night Qingran suddenly interjected with a cold sneer, looking at Cang Ting. “One can't help but wonder if you are the one behind it all.”

Cang Ting paused in his steps and looked at Night Qingran, raising an elegant eyebrow and smiling reservedly, "Why don't Prince Regent Qingran say that I am smitten with Miss Yun Qianyue Therefore, I am concerned about her affairs. Whether this matter is investigated or not will affect the reputation of the Cloud王府. Naturally, I wish for it to be clear."

Qingran's face darkened and he coldly said, "I doubt that!"

"There’s no need for Prince Regent Qingran to question my sincerity. As long as Miss Yun Qianyue understands my feelings, it is enough." Cang Ting smiled and sat down while maintaining a composed demeanor.

Night Qingran glared coldly at Cang Ting, about to retaliate when he heard Yun Qianyue say coldly, “Uncle Emperor, what are you hesitating for Investigate! My brother rushed back here from his wedding chamber because his wife is alone in their chambers. And that’s your daughter! If you don’t care about her, I do for my brother! This marriage only happens once; there won't be a tomorrow if today passes!"

The crowd turned and saw Yun Li, clad in a crimson robe, rushing back to the hall—clearly having left Seventh Princess immediately after their wedding.

"Sister," Yun Li said upon seeing his birth father and Yun Wu kneeling on the ground. He stood beside Yun Qianyue with some tension.

"Yun Wu claims that forty years ago, there were twin princes in Cloud王府—one of whom is our father king while the other is Uncle Third from a collateral line. Brother Li, did you ever hear such nonsense when growing up in Yun County" Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow.

Yun Li was taken aback and immediately shook his head, "I have never heard of it!"

"That's exactly what I thought! Neither have I. But Yun Wu keeps insisting that such a thing happened. Now he is waiting for Uncle Emperor to investigate!" said Yun Qianyue.

Yun Li turned around and respectfully addressed the old emperor, "Your Majesty, I truly haven't heard of this matter! My third uncle passed away early more than ten years ago. The only remaining descendants of my grandfather are my birth father, Yun Wu, and me."

The old emperor nodded, "You all have different stories, so it's hard for me to make a judgment! I believe that the Cloud王府 (Cloud Family Manor) wouldn't do such a thing, but there might still be much gossip. Therefore, we will use this opportunity today to clarify this matter. If Yun Wu is speaking nonsense, he deserves punishment. I will give the Cloud Family Manor justice!"

Yun Li lowered his head and stepped aside.

"Old Uncle Wang, just now Yun Wu said that there are genealogies and birth charts as proof. Can we see the Cloud Family Manor's genealogy" The old emperor turned to ask the elderly王爺 (Regent).

The elderly regent raised his eyelids slightly, "If His Majesty is interested, of course it can be seen! The genealogy of the Cloud Family Manor isn't something that should be hidden from anyone!" After saying this, he spoke to Yun Qianyue, "Stinky brat, go to the ancestral hall and fetch the genealogy for me."

"Don’t let her do it. Who doesn’t know she… what if she does something tricky" Yun Wu shouted at that moment.

Yun Qianyue's gaze turned cold.

"Then Li will go! Li isn't skilled in martial arts, so His Majesty can send two people to accompany him and fetch the genealogy!" The elderly regent cast a glance at Yun Wu and then changed his words to address Yun Li, "Does Your Majesty have any objections"

"Bring the genealogies of both the main branch and the collateral branch of the Cloud Family Manor," said the old emperor.

"Alright! The genealogy of the collateral branch is probably in the hands of several family leaders. Second Master, go fetch it for me! His Majesty can also send two people to accompany you. Compare both sides to determine authenticity." The elderly regent looked at Yun Li's birth father who was kneeling on the ground.

"Agreed!" said the old emperor as he gestured behind him with his hand, and several figures immediately stepped forward to follow Yun Li and his birth father out of the hall.

The group left the Hall of Joy.

Yun Qianyue sneered inwardly. If her grandfather dared to switch things around and deceive everyone, would he really make a mistake in such a small detail as the genealogy Of course, he must have made preparations long ago! But those who harmed the Cloud Family Manor behind the scenes could also be aware of this. Therefore, there would certainly be follow-up actions after the genealogies. She'll wait and see which major figure will deliver the final blow.

Everyone in the great hall was silent, waiting patiently.

About two sticks of incense later, Yun Li and his birth father returned separately with the main branch's and collateral branch's genealogies. They handed them over to the old emperor one by one. The old emperor signaled behind him, and Wenhui immediately stepped forward to take the genealogies.

Once the genealogies were opened, the old emperor flipped through each page meticulously. After reviewing them carefully, he asked Yun Wu, "Yun Wu, according to this family record, there is only one heir in the Cloud Family Manor. His birth date differs by half a year from your third uncle's. What do you have to say about that"

"Your Majesty, it must be wrong! I clearly remember overhearing Grandfather and Second Uncle discussing something secretly! Third Uncle isn't my grandfather’s biological son!" Yun Wu said with an ashen face while staring at the genealogy scroll, "This family record is definitely fake!"

"Do you need any other evidence" The old emperor asked.

Yun Wu shook his head fearfully in response.

"Without evidence, how dare you spread rumors! Uncle Emperor, I told you this would happen! How can we trust the words of such a person He is probably just envious of Yun Li's rapid rise and good fortune becoming an heir. Now he wants to harm the Cloud Family Manor and further frame Yun Li." Ye Qingran sneered coldly, "Such a petty individual deserves execution!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie; every word is true… Your Majesty…" Yun Wu declared again.

The old emperor seemed impatient, "Bring in someone to arrest Yun Wu…"

"Father!" Night Tianyu's voice suddenly echoed from outside. He walked into the hall with a gentle call. Behind him followed two elderly men, likely doctors, and an older woman around fifty years old.

"You're back How is Crown Prince Qian's injury" The old emperor stopped and asked Emperor Nigthyan煜.

"Your son reports that Second Brother's injury is quite severe, but he was not hit in a vital spot and narrowly escaped death. Your son came back specifically to report this news to you. Also, Chancellor Qin is currently searching for the whereabouts of Miss Qin!" Nightyan煜 replied respectfully.

"Hmm! It’s good as long as there are no complications!" The old emperor nodded, "Who are those people behind you"

Upon hearing this, Nightyan煜 turned around to look at them and smiled suddenly. "To tell the truth, it's quite strange. When I left Second Brother's residence, I met these three individuals who claimed they were doctors that had treated Lady Zhuang of a branch family in Yun County forty years ago and one was a midwife. They said they had urgent matters to report to Your Majesty and asked me to bring them here."

"Oh" The old emperor narrowed his eyes, looking at the three individuals behind Nightyan煜.

"Nightyan煜, you don't seem like the type who does good deeds. Are you just bringing any random person to court" Niteqing染 glanced at Yun Qianmo and seeing her indifferent expression, sneered, "Isn’t it possible that you have something to do with this matter"

"What could I possibly have to do with this matter" Nightyan煜 shook his head seriously. "I heard what they wanted to report to Your Majesty and thought the matter was unusual. Rather than letting them spread rumors around, I decided to bring them here as per their request. This is no small matter; it can't afford any carelessness. If it turns into a major issue, things will become complicated."

Niteqing染 snorted coldly. "You're quite good at considering the bigger picture!"

"Didn’t you want to find my father Here they are!" Nightyan煜 ignored Niteqing染 and turned around to say something to those three.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were three loud thumps on the floor. All three of them kneeled down hurriedly and bowed their heads in fear, saying in a trembling voice: "Commoners pay respect... Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty... long live!"

"Who are you all What urgent matters do you have to report" The old emperor asked.

The three of them did not dare to lift their heads. After a brief moment, an elderly man on the left spoke up: "Your Majesty, this old man is a doctor from Yun County who treated Lady Zhuang of a branch family forty years ago when she gave birth to Second Young Master in difficult labor. She barely saved her life at that time and could no longer bear children afterward. But it was later said that her illness had been cured."

"Oh" The old emperor uttered with a somewhat solemn tone.

“Your Majesty, I am also a doctor from Yun County who treated Lady Zhuang along with Zhang Dafu forty years ago. After Second Young Master was born and became the current Second Lord, she could no longer bear children. How could there be a Third Young Master” another old man immediately followed.

"Your Majesty... I am the daughter of a midwife who gave birth to Second Young Master, now Second Lord, forty years ago in Yun County. My mother delivered him during a difficult labor and pulled him out when he was nearly lost. Lady Zhuang’s life hung by a thread at that time. Although she survived, such severe childbirth would have caused massive blood loss and left her on the verge of death. How could she give birth to a third child" The woman in her fifties immediately said.

"Is what you are saying true" After hearing their statements, the old emperor asked sternly, revealing his imperial authority.

“Commoners speak truthfully!” All three people quickly bowed and said unanimously.

"Do any of you have evidence that you treated or delivered Lady Zhuang in the past" The old emperor further questioned.

The two elderly men immediately responded, "Your Majesty, we brought along medical records from back then!"

“I brought a jade given to my mother personally by the clan's master as a token of gratitude for delivering Second Young Master. That jade is very precious and engraved with characters from Yun王府’s emblem. Since I am her only daughter, she passed it down to me, and I have always cherished it.” The woman immediately responded.

The three people presented their respective evidence while talking.

“Wen Lai, bring these items forward!” The old emperor instructed Wen Lai.

Wen Lai quickly walked down and took the items from them to present to the old emperor.

The old emperor first examined the jade before flipping through yellowed paper records. Then he turned to Second Lord's father and asked, "Second Lord, do you recognize these three individuals who came from Yun County"

Second Lord’s face paled as his body trembled slightly, but he still tried to remain composed, "Your Majesty, I know them."

"So is this true" the old emperor asked again.

"It's not true! Although my mother had a difficult childbirth, she later met a divine doctor who treated her and allowed her to give birth to my third brother. How can you say that because of these three people, my third brother isn't my mother's biological child There are all sorts of things in the world. Your Majesty, this matter is suspicious! Someone must be trying to harm Prince Yun’s王府 Otherwise, why would these three suddenly come to the capital and accuse him"

"Hm A divine doctor What kind of divine doctor could cure the Clan Lady" The old emperor raised his eyebrows and shook the medical record in his hand. He said with a serious expression, "I have carefully examined it; after Prince Yun’s夫人 gave birth to the second master, her body was severely depleted, she lay sick every day, and there were limited chances of recovery. Could she still conceive and give birth to an imperial grandson ten months later It's too much like a fairy tale!"

"This…" The second master glanced at the old Prince Yun王爺 and lowered his head. "That divine doctor is Master Lingyin!"

"Oh Master Lingyin" The old emperor was startled, then said, "Master Lingyin's medical skills are indeed excellent! At that time when Young Lord Jing’s life hung by a thread, it was Master Lingyin who saved him. But the second master is certain that Master Lingyin cured the Clan Lady Then why don't those three know about such matters"

"Uncle Second, you shouldn’t say such nonsense! When did Master Lingyin cure Grandmother" Yun Wu immediately refuted.

"Forty years ago; at that time, you had yet to be born. How could you know" The second master angrily rebuked.

“We commoners have not heard of such a thing either!” Those two elders and one woman also quickly refuted.

"Master Lingyin’s whereabouts are elusive, he dislikes being ostentatious, and when doing good deeds, he prefers to remain anonymous. Sometimes fearing worldly entanglements, he doesn’t want his movements exposed. Is it strange that you three don't know" The second master angrily rebuked the trio. "Our clan's family matters, why would we want outsiders to know To become gossip for everyone to talk about Who exactly are you three being instructed by Are you trying to frame Prince Yun’s王府 Furthermore, my mother’s illness might not be as severe as you think; it's just that these mediocre doctors and women with shallow knowledge believe there is no hope."

The trio couldn’t immediately respond and fell silent.

Yun Qianyue curled her lips. The second master's words were indeed powerful. He was now the head of a branch of Prince Yun’s王府, which she had always thought to be mediocre. From what it seemed, this wasn't entirely true; having the bloodline of Prince Yun’s王府 descendants, how could they truly be weaklings Moreover, her grandfather willing to send a son to Cloud County back then wasn’t without consideration.

"Anyway, Master Lingyin isn't here. Uncle Second's words hold weight!" Yun Wu said anxiously.

"Wicked child!" The second master scolded Yun Wu and turned to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, please investigate clearly! These three people are not credible witnesses."

The old emperor seemed to give a serious look at the second master; he hadn't expected that someone who had been timid upon entering would suddenly exude such power. He nodded and looked down towards his right, addressing Duke De and Cold Duke: "Brother Duke De, Brother Duke Cold, you two have not spoken up yet. What are your thoughts on this matter"

"This..." Duke De and Duke Xing glanced at each other, seemingly unsure of how to respond.

"Speak freely!" The old emperor said.

“Your Majesty, this matter is highly suspicious. A thorough investigation needs to be conducted!” Duke De carefully said.

“This minister also believes that the matter is dubious and it’s unlikely we will uncover anything conclusive in a short period of time.” Duke Xing immediately added.

The old emperor nodded, looking at the second master: "As Yun Wu said, Master Lingyin isn’t here. Second Master, your words aren't enough to prove anything."

"Uncle Emperor! Does proving that my brother’s third uncle was not born from the Clan Lady mean he is a twin of Prince Yun’s王府 This argument is too laughable!" Yun Qianyue spoke up at this moment with a cold smile: "My brother's third uncle died young. Who has the ability to personally go down below and ask him who his birth mother was, instead of spreading nonsense here"

“Yue girl’s words also make sense!” The old emperor looked displeased.

"Your Majesty! I remember something!" Yun Wu suddenly brightened up, loudly excitedly stating: "When I overheard Grandfather and Uncle Second talking, they said that one of the twins had a natural birthmark on his back while the other didn’t. The twin with the birthmark was Prince Yun’s世子, and the one without it was my third uncle."

The second master's face suddenly changed.

Old Prince Yun王爺 resting his hand on the armrest of the chair trembled slightly; Prince Yun王爺的手似乎也顫了顫。

Yun Qianyue’s heart snapped to attention, glancing coldly at Prince Yun王爺: "Wen Wu, you must be tired of living! What does this prove"

Yun Wu's eyes were still bright as he loudly said, "Of course it can explain things. My uncle died suspiciously. He was fine without any illness and suddenly passed away. And I heard that during that time, the Crown Prince of Cloud王府was bedridden with sickness. It’s not impossible for someone to switch places and bring him back in order to become the Crown Prince of Cloud王府."

"Who taught you this" Yun Qianmo lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair and held back her impulse to unsheathe Broken Snow and stab Wu through his heart. How could she not notice such a nuisance earlier Letting him out to harm her own family

“No one…taught me… I suddenly thought of it!” Yun Wu seemed to sense the killing intent from Yun Qianmo as he quickly shook his head. He was already cornered by Yun Qianmo, and at this time, almost completely pressed against the wall.

"What a sudden thought," Yun Qianmo smiled coldly as she glanced around and swept her gaze across everyone present. She could be sure that there was an expert in secret transmission directing Yun Wu from behind the scenes right now. Unfortunately, today’s crowd was too large and the aura too complicated; even though she had sent out her aura to explore, she couldn’t detect who it was. Cang Ting hadn’t moved at all and his aura was still calm, showing no signs of transmitting any secret messages. It didn’t seem like him.

"There’s such a thing" The old emperor seemed startled by Yun Wu's words.

The guests in the hall were also shocked as they focused their gazes on the Cloud王爺.

Cloud王爺's face turned pale as he quickly stood up and bowed to the old emperor, "Emperor, this is purely nonsense. How could such a thing happen Your subject has accompanied your Excellency for so many years; how can it be…"

"Brother Yun, don’t worry! If we are going to investigate, let’s thoroughly look into it. Since Wu brought up the matter about you, if you’re not him, it will be proven immediately. Isn't it just checking for a birthmark This isn’t difficult!" The Prince of Virtue suddenly said.

"That's right! Brother Virtue is right! Don’t worry, brother Yun. Indeed, this isn’t hard at all," the Prince of Filial Piety quickly agreed.

“This… How can I take off my clothes in public What kind of behavior is that” Cloud王爺shivered as he said.

"Brother Yun, since you’re a man, why be afraid Would there be harm in verifying it once Follow him," the old emperor also said.

Yun Qianmo’s fingertips turned slightly white as she made plans in her mind. But today's matter was too sudden; she thought that since her grandfather had deceived everyone and prepared everything, it would indeed be well-prepared at least for evidence to be refuted. Without any evidence, the old emperor couldn’t do anything either. However, she never expected there to be a claim of birthmarks. She could not think of a good idea in the moment and only calmly coldly said, "Imperial Uncle Emperor, Heavenly Saint is a land that values propriety and upholds laws with rites. You are now listening to the words of an immature child who steals like a dog and slanders his ancestors Making my father undress in public What’s your reason for this My father is the Prince of Cloud王府. This isn't just a small matter but a big humiliation. How would my father stand firm in court after this Isn’t this humiliating the Cloud王府"

"Yes, Uncle Emperor! Little miss is right!" Ye Qingran immediately agreed.

“Emperor, you are making your subject die from shame…” The Prince of Cloud knelt on the ground with a look of grief and anger.

The old emperor was temporarily at a loss for words as he rebutted Yun Qianmo’s argument; when he looked at the Princes of Virtue and Filial Piety, both of them were also speechless. The officials who spoke up early on had no one speaking now.

"Haha…" Cang Ting suddenly chuckled softly, "It’s not complicated is it Emperor, just send two trusted people to check the Prince of Cloud王府in private! This won’t be considered a big humiliation and disrespect towards the Prince of Cloud王府and Cloud王府. When something happens, one must solve it. Miss Yun, isn't this right"

Yun Qianmo’s gaze was sharp as she looked at Cang Ting, who met her gaze with a faint smile.

"Miss, Prince Jing has returned!" At this moment, Ling Lian suddenly came back behind Yun Qianmo and whispered in her ear.

The sharpness in Yun Qianmo’s eyes instantly disappeared as she stood up from where she was sitting. She no longer paid attention to Cang Ting and looked towards the hall entrance.

Everyone was startled by Yun Qianmo's actions; they saw her face turn from cold to joy in an instant and followed her gaze with puzzled expressions. The old emperor, the three princes, Ye Qingran, Cang Ting, and others all turned their heads to look outside the hall.

Before long, a slender figure wearing moon-colored brocade robe appeared slowly at the entrance of the great hall, elegant and refined as if stepping out from among clouds. It was Rong Jing who returned. He walked leisurely like strolling in an empty courtyard, walking gracefully with each step, as though he brought in a beam of bright moonlight that instantly overshadowed all the dazzling colors in the grand hall.

Speaking of which, this is called 'rescuing people in distress'. Are you excited ~ (n_n) o~
