The waterside pavilion in the back garden was filled with guests from aristocratic families who came to watch, and there were layers of whispers, like a fine tide wrapping Xiao Jingyu tightly.

Everyone is a human being, and the scene in front of them is clear at a glance.The four tied prisoners had the exclusive tokens of the secret guards of the East Palace hidden in their waists, and the drug was still on the table. Just now, a few people were sneaking around to surround the prime minister's daughter, and their intention was very obvious.

Marquis Pingning's face was livid. As the host, his banquet almost caused a scandal that tarnished the noble daughter's innocence, and also involved the prince of the dynasty. He was shocked and angry.He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Prince, I ask myself that the Hou Mansion has never offended the East Palace. I wonder why Your Highness sent people to sneak into the back garden and deliberately harm the Shen family girls?"

Xiao Jingyu's back was stiff, and the warmth on his face completely collapsed.He glanced around frantically, looking for a word of defense, but with all the physical and personal evidence, all his excuses were pale and ridiculous.

He could only suppress his panic and deny it: "The Marquis has misunderstood. These people are definitely not my subordinates. Someone must have deliberately forged the East Palace token and framed me!"

"Framing?"

A cold female voice suddenly sounded.Shen Qingyuan stepped forward slowly and stood in the center of everyone's gaze. His brows were calm but his words were clear. "Today I went to the Haitang Banquet. I followed the rules throughout the process and never had any grudges with anyone. The four people followed me just now with the intention of drugging me. They were clearly seen by the regent's secret guards throughout the process. The token is fresh and complete, and it is definitely not forged. Can His Highness the Crown Prince's frame-up cover up all the evidence?"

Her tone was neither urgent nor slow, but her words hit the mark.

In the past, everyone in the capital knew that Shen Qingyuan was madly in love with the prince and would give in to everything, but today she is calm and dignified, clear-cut, and there is no trace of stupidity or weakness.The noble ladies onlookers all looked sideways, secretly changing their minds.

Xiao Yuci stood beside the girl, his dark eyes covered with a layer of frost, and said lightly to make up for the last blow: "My secret guards were stationed throughout the entire process to collect evidence, and there was no deviation in the entire process. If this matter reaches the imperial court, do you think Your Majesty will believe the words of blame, or the real human and material evidence?"

These words completely blocked all Xiao Jingyu's escape routes.

The emperor is most afraid of princes forming cliques for personal gain, secretly accumulating dead men, and plotting against the children of courtiers.Today's matter, even the prince, will never be able to expose it easily.

The comments around him became louder and louder, and fingers pointed at Xiao Jingyu.
