When Mingluan saw the Crown Prince, she was first delighted, then stunned.

"Crown Prince, what are you talking about? Her, the Crown Princess?"

Mingluan looked at the Crown Prince, then at Ying Yufu.

The Crown Prince had already walked over and stood naturally beside Ying Yufu.

His face was stern as he said, "Mingluan, you're making things difficult for a noblewoman and threatening a princess. What a grand princess you've got!"

"Your Highness, it was clearly them who abused their power and desecrated the old Marquis Weiyuan's grave. I did this simply to seek justice for the old Marquis Weiyuan!"

"Where's the evidence?"

The Crown Prince said calmly.

Mingluan was taken aback, then said angrily, "Crown Prince, this is what Zhi'er said herself. Everyone present heard it, and no one refuted it, so it is true."

The Crown Prince glanced at Ying Hengzhi indifferently; Ying Hengzhi had already prepared her explanation.

However, the Crown Prince's gaze swept past her indifferently and landed on Cang Mingze.

"Second Prince, your concubine says that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion desecrated Ying Huanchong's grave. Did you instigate this? Do you have any evidence?"

Cang Mingze: "..."

He was speechless for a moment. "It was not at my brother's behest!"

He glared at Ying Hengzhi with displeasure. Now, he had no good feelings towards her or the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.

Ying Hengzhi lowered her eyes, feeling extremely humiliated.

"Crown Prince, what are you doing? You're actually questioning Second Prince because of Ying Yufu!"

And you just said that Ying Yufu is your Crown Princess? What's going on here? Does she even deserve to be called one?

The Crown Prince's face suddenly turned cold. He said, "Mingluan, whether she is worthy or not is none of your business. In my opinion, she is a perfect match for me!"

"Crown Prince, you—"

Mingluan looked at him in disbelief.

The Crown Prince stared coldly at her. "Mingluan, how did you treat Lady Sheng'en and Fu'er just now? Apologize to them now!"

"Your Highness, you want me to apologize to them?"

Mingluan was furious.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince of Beixuan, why are you being so aggressive?"

Luan'er was just standing up for justice and wanted to seek justice for the victims. But you, for the sake of your woman, disregarded justice and targeted Luan'er. Is this how you, as the Crown Prince of Beixuan, behave?

This has truly broadened my horizons!

Su Jinyu suddenly spoke, his tone sarcastic.

When the Crown Prince arrived, he noticed that Mingluan was accompanied by three people. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Su Jinyu.

"Your Highness? Your surname is Su, could you be the Crown Prince of Dongchen Kingdom?" the Crown Prince asked.

"It is indeed I, the Crown Prince!"

Su Jinyu was arrogant.

The crown prince glanced at him indifferently. "Are the people of Dongchen Kingdom really such rude people?"

Su Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, "You—"

Sheng Dong shouted angrily, "Insolence! You are merely a prince from another country, without any official documents. Your status as a prince depends entirely on your word. How dare you disrespect my Crown Prince of Bei Xuan? Do you know your crime?"

Su Jinyu's face immediately turned ugly.

Mingluan flashed forward, blocking Su Jinyu's path. At the same time, Wu Lingduo and Rong Qing stood with Mingluan without leaving a trace, glaring at the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, how could you do this? Su Jinyu is my friend."

Mingluan looked at the Crown Prince with stubbornness in her eyes and extreme grievance.

The crown prince said calmly, "Does your friend give you the right to be so disrespectful to me?"

Mingluan bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with tears of grievance.

The Crown Prince said, "Moreover, he said he is from another country. If he is from another country, he should not interfere in the affairs of my Northern Xuan."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Mingluan and said sternly, "Mingluan, apologize to Lady Sheng'en and Fu'er. Even if you are a princess, you cannot abuse your power to bully others, unless you want to be punished!"

Mingluan's tears flowed instantly.

Su Jinyu's eyes reddened with anger, and he was about to step forward to argue, but Wu Lingduo grabbed him.

Wu Lingduo shook her head at him, signaling him not to act impulsively.

A hint of resentment flashed in Su Jinyu's eyes, but he suppressed it when he saw the coldness in Wu Lingduo's eyes.

He snorted coldly, looking at the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu as if they were dead men.

The Crown Prince actually wanted to punish her for that woman. In the end, Mingluan dared not disobey the Crown Prince and looked at Ying Yufu and Shangguan Tang with resentment.

"Lady Sheng'en, Princess Anguo, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have targeted you!"

Her face was filled with humiliation.

Ying Yufu smiled slightly and said magnanimously, "Princess Mingluan, please don't do it again."

Mingluan: "!"

Ying Yufu, how dare she!

Does she really think she has the right to speak to her like that?

She was filled with hatred, and then angrily said, "But it's a fact that the old Marquis Weiyuan's grave was dug up. Today, we must find out who's behind this!"

She glared at Ying Yufu with resentment.

[Ding! The face-slapping mechanism has been triggered. Host, please find the real culprit who dug up the grave and clear the name of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.]

The system's voice rang in Ying Yufu's mind.

Ying Yufu remained calm. In fact, even without the system assigning tasks, she would find a way to locate the real culprit. The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion should not take the blame for this.

Besides, she probably guessed who the real culprit was.

She looked down at Liao Kong beside her.

Liao Kong noticed her gaze and looked at her as well.

Ying Yufu immediately put on a smiling face and said in a high-pitched voice, "Liaokong, guess who the real grave digger is?"

Liao Kong shivered expressionlessly, a hint of helplessness appearing in his dark eyes.

What was her tone like? Did she think he was a three-year-old child?

"I suspect it was done by someone who has a grudge against the Marquis of Weiyuan's family," Liao Kong said.

Upon hearing this, Ying Yufu nodded solemnly, "You're right, this person must have a deep-seated grudge against the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion."

"But who is this person?" Ying Yufu asked in confusion.

Liao Kong: "This person must be watching the commotion from the sidelines, and hasn't left yet!"

"Liaokong is so clever!"

Ying Yufu suddenly looked in one direction.

Just as she looked over, a figure wearing a straw hat, hidden in the crowd, quickly left and ran into the distance.

Wushuang, who had been hiding in the crowd, slipped away to give chase.

She truly lived up to her reputation as an unparalleled female general; her skills were superb. After a few rounds, the man's bamboo hat was swept off, revealing his true face.

It turned out to be a bald monk.

"Oh dear, isn't this Master Xuanjing, who had an affair with Liu Xueyan and fathered two bastard children?"

Master Xuanjing is truly kind-hearted. Not only did he wipe out the Weiyuan Marquis's family line, but he also dug up their graves. You've really gone to great lengths!

Ying Yufu spoke in an exaggerated tone.

Xuan Jing's arms were held back by Wu Shuang. His face was grim as he said, "Princess Anguo, you are framing this humble monk! Everything requires evidence!"

"Evidence? If it wasn't you, why did you run away just now? Besides..."

Ying Yufu smiled slightly: "Ying Nanyao should still be able to have children, right? I'll send him ten or eight women, and the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion can still continue its lineage."

Master Xuanjing, what do you think?

Xuanjing's expression immediately froze.

He couldn't help but feel resentful. He had asked Liu Xueyan to give Ying Nanyao a drug that would prevent him from having children several times, but she refused to cooperate!

Seeing Xuanjing's expression, everyone began to speculate.

"What's going on? Could it be that this Xuanjing really has a grudge against the Marquis of Weiyuan's family? Did he really dig up the grave?"

Ying Nanyao and Old Lady Liu also looked at Xuanjing with uncertain expressions.

They certainly wanted to kill Shangguan Tang, but what good was the Xuanjing?

Compared to Shangguan Tang, Xuan Jing, who wiped out their family line, was clearly more hateful.

"You thief, what grudge do you hold against the Marquis of Weiyuan?"

Old Liu said sternly.

Xuanjing sneered and remained silent.

Shangguan Tang scrutinized Xuan Jing. Did this man truly have a grudge against the Marquis of Weiyuan's family? Or rather, did he have a grudge against the old Marquis of Weiyuan?

Her gaze inadvertently fell upon the skeleton in the coffin.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, and a look of surprise crossed her face.

wrong!

Just then—

"His Majesty has arrived!"
