Nan Xun crossed his arms and asked slowly, “Things sound interesting. I wonder if anyone can explain them to me?”

Feng Yili looked at Jiang Ying, and the latter quickly explained the general situation to Nan Xun.

“So the Princess Regent wants to uncover the truth. Then, I’ll have to help her…” Nan Xun said with a faint smile as he looked at Yu Yunxi provocatively.

‘He… Will he do anything unfavorable?’

Jiang Ying and the others were extremely worried.

Yu Yunxi’s heart sank. She did not know if Nan Xun would deliberately frame her, but she was left with no other choice. She said, “In that case, while Crown Prince Nan investigates the matter, I’ll treat my maidservant first.”

After that, Yu Yunxi quickly came to Qian Mei’s side and brought her away.

Feng Yijin ordered a few guards to follow them.

Although Feng Yili was worried about Yu Yunxi, he had to stay and look for evidence.

Nan Xun walked over and said goadingly, “Prince Regent, why don’t we compete and see who uncovers the truth first?”

Feng Yili did not respond. Instead, he turned around and walked into the main hall.

Nan Xun’s gaze was dark as he watched Feng Yili leave. After a beat, he said to his subordinate flatly, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and search this place for evidence.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

On the other side…

Yu Yunxi brought Qian Mei to the side hall.

“Qian Mei!”

Qian Jiao and Qian Qing, who had come over earlier, were heartbroken when they saw the state Qian Mei was in; their eyes were wet with tears. They had grown as close as sisters in the past few years. It was only normal that they felt distressed.

Luo Xiuran watched helplessly from the side. There was nothing he could do except support Qian Qing with his hands.

Yu Yunxi said seriously, “Qian Jiao, Qian Qing, we don’t have time. We have to prove Qian Mei’s innocence within two hours. Otherwise, we’ll be in trouble.” “Princess Consort, what do you want us to do?”

“Go back to the residence and check something for me,” Yu Yunxi said. Then, she gestured to Qian Qing to come over before she whispered something into Qian Qing’s ear.

Following that, Qian Qing and Luo Xiuran quickly walked out. When she saw Gao Shixuan outside, her gaze darkened. However, her voice was calm as she said, “Miss Gao, the Princess Consort asked you to go in. Qian Mei’s injury is serious, and she needs your help.

“Alright, I’ll go in now!”

Gao Shixuan quickly nodded and ran in.

Inside, Yu Yunxi was cleaning Qian Mei’s wounds.

The imperial guards were very vicious. Each cut was deep and hideous. She looked at the wounds and said in a low voice, “These will leave scars when they heal…”

“Princess Consort, don’t be sad because of me. I’m already very lucky to have survived. Princess Consort, if you can’t find evidence to prove my innocence later, just hand me over… I don’t want to implicate you and the Prince Regent’s Residence,” Qian Mei said resolutely. Even if she died, she could not implicate Yu Yunxi and the others.

“Qian Mei, stop talking. If you continue, you’ll open your wounds. I believe that Eldest Senior Brother and Yunxi will definitely find a way to prove your innocence,” Gao Shixuan said comfortingly after she walked to the bedside.

Yu Yunxi suddenly turned to Gao Shixuan and asked, “Shixuan, do you also think that Qian Mei was wronged?”

Gao Shixuan lowered her gaze and whispered, “Of course. Qian Mei is kind.

How could she attack the Empress Dowager?”

“Then who do you think is the culprit?” Yu Yunxi asked quietly.

“I don’t know either. It’s unfortunate that I don’t know much about the imperial palace of Tianxia. Otherwise, I’ll definitely think of a way to help you,” Gao Shixuan said as she shook her head, sounding very sad.

“Qian Mei and I understand your good intentions,” Yu Yunxi said lightly. Then, she turned to ask Qian Mei, “Qian Mei, think back about what you did before the accident happened.”

A pained expression appeared on Qian Mei’s face as she thought about it. After a moment, she choked and said, “Princess Consort, I really don’t know. I’ve been quite absent-minded for the past two days. Initially, I wanted to get some fresh air and wash my face, but unexpectedly, when I regained my senses, I was already holding a dagger and the Empress Dowager was already lying in a pool of blood.”

Suddenly, Gao Shixuan asked in a strange tone, “Qian Mei, how can you be sure you didn’t attack the Empress Dowager if you don’t remember anything?”

“Although I was panicking, I noticed the Empress Dowager’s wound. If I had stabbed her, her blood would’ve splattered on my dress. However, that’s not the case…” Qian Mei said seriously as she shook her head.

“If that’s the case, then we can tell the Emperor about this!” Gao Shixuan said excitedly.

“It’s useless. This bit of information won’t be able to convince the Emperor,” Yu

Yunxi replied expressionlessly as she bandaged Qian Mei’s wounds on her arm.

“Then, what should we do?” Gao Shixuan asked worriedly.

Yu Yunxi’s movement paused for a brief moment before she suddenly looked at

Gao Shixuan and asked, “Shixuan, why do you think Qian Mei has no memory of what happened? Is there anything in this world that can do that?”

Gao Shixuan’s expression stiffened. However, she quickly recovered and said with a smile, “Perhaps there is, but I’ve never heard of it.”

“I’ve never heard of it either. Qian Mei must have been too tired so the culprit managed to take advantage of her…” Yu Yunxi said, looking away. Her tone was very casual as though she did not place much importance on it.

While they were treating Qian Mei, they were unaware that something big had happened.

Two groups of people entered at the same time.

One came to report the situation to Feng Yijin while the other group came to report to Nan Xun.

After listening to the report from his men, Feng Yijin looked at Feng Yili coldly and said, “I really had no idea that Ninth Imperial Brother’s Second Junior

Brother is actually a prince of Nanyue.”

Nan Xun’s eyes shone with killing intent as he said mockingly, “I didn’t know it either. As it turns out, Tianxia was hiding my brother.”

Everyone present had different thoughts in their minds at this moment as they looked at Feng Yili.

‘Why did Feng Yili hide this matter?’

‘Is there something fishy about the battle between Xinan and Nanyue?’ At this moment, Feng Yijin ordered coldly, “Men, bring Liu Xiaolan, no, Nan

Xiaolan, here..”
