Chapter 6: Clearing the Injustice

He actually dared to say that the crown prince is not manly, lacks courage, and has no ability. The crowd was in an uproar. This Shangguan Liuyue is really audacious.

However, it seems that what she said is true. From beginning to end, everyone only saw the crown prince teaming up with others to make things difficult for her, and indeed, no one stood up for her.

But one must know, if his fiancée is having an affair with someone else, the crown prince's reputation will also be tarnished. He will be ridiculed for being cuckolded. Most men would prefer as few people as possible to know about it, but the crown prince seems to want everyone in the world to know. Is this related to him? Does he want everyone to know so that he can find an excuse to break up with Shangguan Liuyue?

Now, everyone is looking at the crown prince with strange eyes. They dare not openly doubt him, but in their hearts, they have already looked down on him.

As a man, especially the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, being told that he lacks courage is a great insult to him.

Shangguan Liuyue's words were taken seriously, and her tone and attitude instantly labeled him as such a person. He found that people's admiration for him had turned into doubt.

Of course, that doubt was fleeting, and they dared not show it, but they definitely had doubts in their hearts.

As the crown prince of a country, where can he put his face?

He was already disgusted with her, so how could he stand up for her? But she was so bold and confident. If he didn't speak up for her, others might really think he was a weak and spineless man.

Moreover, now that the truth about the affair has been exposed, he cannot let Shangguan Liuyue continue to investigate. If Luoluo cannot withstand the pressure and exposes him, his reputation as a patriot and a man of the people will be ruined. How will the people view him, and what will the emperor think of him? All the good reputation he has worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant.

If it weren't for his own reputation, he would have killed Shangguan Liuyue long ago. He framed Shangguan Liuyue for having an affair to gain a good reputation for breaking off the engagement due to being wronged. But now, this woman has ruined everything.

Thinking of this, he looked at Liuyue with eyes that could shoot poison, then turned to stare at Muyan Dan with fierce anger, "How dare you, Muyan Dan! Explain to this prince, what is the relationship between Luoluo and this footman? If you don't tell the truth, this prince will kill you on the spot!"

Killing someone on the spot, that's manly enough, right?

At this moment, the crown prince felt like he was being roasted over a fire by Liuyue. She was using him as a pawn, and he had to comply, otherwise, he would be a heartless and unfaithful man who didn't stand up for his fiancée.

The crown prince's decision to kill someone was not a joke. He indeed had the right to do so and often exercised it.

Seeing the crown prince suddenly turn the tables on her, Muyan Dan's heart tightened. She finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Could it be that the crown prince was planning to push her out to die? She didn't dare to accuse the crown prince, so she had to take the blame.

Thinking of this, her body began to tremble, her palms sweating. She had never felt so scared and nervous before, nor had she ever been so wary of Liuyue.

She glared fiercely at Luoluo. She had trusted Luoluo completely, but now, she was starting to suspect that Luoluo was working with Shangguan Liuyue.

Shangguan Liuyue's contraceptive sand was indeed there, and it was impossible to fake it in such a short time. She couldn't think of a way to do it. This could only mean that Luoluo was lying and deceiving her!

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Luoluo became even more resentful.

Luoluo was wrongly accused and had no way to defend herself. She knew what her mistress's glare meant—she wanted her to step forward and take the blame.

She bit her lip hard, closed her eyes, and with a determined heart, suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, it's my fault. This has nothing to do with our mistress. But we did not frame Miss Shangguan. The reason I mentioned the contraceptive sand was because I happened to pass by here just now."

"When I passed by here just now, I found this footman carrying Miss Shangguan unconscious back to the room. I was very worried, so I eavesdropped outside the room for a while. At first, I heard Miss Shangguan's voice, but then it suddenly disappeared. I was very nervous, so I rushed in to save her, only to find that the footman was not there, he must have heard my voice and escaped through the window. At that time, Miss Shangguan had also fainted, so I checked her arm and found that the contraceptive sand was missing. That's why I came out to tell our mistress. Our mistress was just trying to protect Your Highness, so she acted against Miss Shangguan."

Her words were disjointed and illogical, and some people started to sneer. Liuyue naturally rolled her eyes in silence. Such a clumsy lie, presumably anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn't believe it.

She disdainfully snorted and coldly retorted, "If you really wanted to save me, why didn't you rush in from the beginning? You said the footman escaped through the window, then why was he still in the room? You said the footman knocked me out, but I was clearly acupunctured by Muyan Dan before, if you really cared for me, why did you insist that I had lost my virginity? You were eager to throw me into the pig cage. It's obvious that you and your mistress conspired to frame me. I dare you to confess the mastermind behind the scenes!"

She now remembered clearly what had happened earlier. The original owner had been acupunctured by Muyan Dan an hour ago. At that time, the original owner was timidly peeking at the crown prince in the garden and was discovered by Muyan Dan. Muyan Dan then brought people over to mock her, and then had the servants take her to a secluded room where she was acupunctured by Muyan Dan and couldn't move or speak.

After Munian Dan left, Wang Er, who had made an appointment with Green Luo, tried to force himself on her, but the original owner was scared to death before he could do anything.

Just then, the man wearing a mask who called himself "this king" came in. He knocked out Wang Er and threw him under the bed, and then Green Luo was violated.

Hearing that Liuyue was going to expose the mastermind, the prince's brow twitched slightly. If she continued to investigate, it would definitely be detrimental to him. Green Luo, a minor character, was his lucky scapegoat.

With a surge of anger in his chest, he glared at Green Luo with cold, menacing eyes, like a demon in the dark night. "How dare you, a bold slave, dare to fabricate lies and argue cunningly. It must be you and your lover conspiring to frame Shangguan Liuyue. Guards, take her and her lover down and slaughter them!"

As soon as Wang Er heard that he was going to be slaughtered, his face turned pale and his legs gave way.

Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his legs, and his pants instantly became wet, and a foul smell quickly filled the air.

Everyone immediately covered their noses. It turned out that Wang Er had wet himself out of fear. He was really cowardly.

The prince was extremely angry. Wang Er thought the prince was trying to force out the truth, so he dared not tell lies anymore and wished to blurt out the truth all at once.
