The fifth prince argued with reason and refuted the fifth princess's sending someone to send him a message.Cheng Shaoshang responded truthfully to Emperor Wen, telling him that the reason why the fifth prince fell into the water was because the fifth princess was unwilling to give up and threatened the accompanying girls in various ways to slander Cheng Shaoshang.

Fortunately, Ling Buyi always believed in her innocence and did not ask too many questions.

Cheng Shaoshang followed Queen Xuan back to Changqiu Palace until midnight, when he went out alone to Longyuan to set up the trap.The next day, before dawn, Emperor Wen was supposed to go to court. Suddenly, he saw Cheng Shaoshang coming in from outside the door, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps.Before the palace maid could report the matter, the disgraced fifth princess had already rushed to Cheng Shaoshang and cursed at her. The emperor was deeply surprised by this.It turns out that Cheng Shaoshang deliberately set up a trap in Longyuan last night to take revenge on the fifth princess. The fifth princess took many girls to visit the garden, but they didn't know that several buckets of swill were placed on the corridor.Before everyone noticed it, the mechanism of Chai Fei's small door was triggered, and swill fell from the sky, like rain, followed by whipping with canes, and vegetation ash rushed in.

Concubine Yue also slapped the fifth princess directly.Ling Buyi and the fifth prince came forward to accuse the fifth princess, but the dancer was threatened by the fifth princess and simply pretended to faint.Because of the humiliation of the fifth princess, the fifth prince told the story of Cheng Shaoshang falling into the water in desperation. Emperor Wen and the queen were furious. The fifth princess showed no repentance and showed that she was the eldest princess and had a noble status. Even if she killed Cheng ShaoshangIt's just crushing an ant.Seeing that the fifth princess became more and more arrogant and domineering, Queen Xuan turned pale with anger. Ling Buyi looked gloomy and threatened to give a big gift to the fifth princess, but the fifth princess was not afraid at all.

Emperor Wen ordered the five princesses to be imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum for half a day. At this time, they were banned from the princess's residence and were not allowed to go out without an edict. Then he accompanied Empress Xuan back to the palace.The rest of the people left one after another. Concubine Yue asked Luo Jitong how to deal with Chun Tiao. Luo Jitong calmly responded that he would ask his father and brother to sell it to the border or a cold and miserable place.It was Luo Jitong's decisiveness that made Concubine Yue feel that the other party was not simple on the surface, but actually quite scheming.At this point, the matter came to an end for the time being. Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi were the only ones left in the long and lonely palace corridor, and he felt quite complicated because of the news he had just heard.Ling Buyi felt that Cheng Shaoshang had never really cared about him, otherwise there would be no need to hide it at all. If the fifth princess hadn't spilled the beans, he might have kept it in the dark.Cheng Shaoshang couldn't defend herself. Many things were not intentional. It was entirely due to her childhood experiences that made her unwilling to rely on others.

Ling Buyi finally understood why Cheng Shaoshang liked Lou Yao. It was because Lou Yao never imposed any restrictions. On the other hand, he forced Cheng Shaoshang to stay, which made Cheng Shaoshang feel depressed and even disgusted.After saying these words, Ling Buyu put away all his emotions and became indifferent and taciturn again.Cheng Shaoshang looked at Ling Buyi's retreating figure and couldn't help but retort loudly. He clearly agreed that he didn't need to make any changes at first, but now he was blaming him. In fact, he had begun to accept the palace and gradually adapted to his current life. Unfortunately, LingNo doubt he has gone far.With clues provided by the fifth prince, Ling Buyi ordered his troops to surround Tingwei's mansion and hang Master Zuo up with a stick in public. Including the family members of the mother-in-law who had been involved in the insult to Cheng Shaoshang, a total of eight people could not escape the bad luck.

Yuan Shen turned a blind eye and not only did not say anything to stop him, he actually became spectators with the fifth prince and others, drinking tea leisurely.After dealing with these people, Ling Buyi advised Emperor Wen to give the dead princess a face in the palace. The fifth princess returned to the palace and saw the corpses neatly arranged in the yard. She collapsed and cried, finally realizing what had happened.the severity of.There was a lot of rumors about the fifth princess raising a noodle, which turned Yuejia into a joke. Shopkeeper Tian knew that it would be useless to talk more, and believed that the top priority was to ensure that the third prince replaced the crown prince.The crown prince and his wife served beside Empress Xuan, but the crown prince mentioned the faults of the fifth princess in various ways. Cheng Shaoshang directly responded in order to prevent Empress Xuan's condition from getting worse.Because of this, the prince privately reprimanded the princess for not talking too much, feeling that she was deliberately retaliating against the fifth princess.

The prince's words made the princess very disapproval, and the only one who wanted revenge was Qu Lingjun. After all, he was still worried about the incident back then. If Qu Lingjun had not flirted with the prince, he would not have had a miscarriage and lost the child..The prince claimed that Zhan Ji had nothing to do with Qu Lingjun, and that both of them were innocent. Besides, Qu Lingjun was already married, but the princess kept insisting on this matter.
