Chapter 618 Taking advantage of the situation
Hearing her man's words of defense for her, Yun Mujiu felt warm in the heart and fought with more energy.
"Words are not enough. Whatever you say is the truth. There is no such thing in the world!" Yun Mujiu stood next to Ye Xiaohan and smiled coldly at Princess Gaoyang.
"Besides, who said I stayed in this room? Who said I suddenly disappeared?"
"Actually...I went to visit the garden!"
Princess Gaoyang and the others could not produce evidence to prove that she was present, but she could produce evidence that she was not present! If she was not present, all these accusations were just empty talk!
Princess Gaoyang and Wu Ming turned pale. Did Yun Mujiu actually have proof of his absence? How could this be possible?
The Queen spoke at the right time - "Princess Ye, where did you go after leaving the table?"
Yun Mujiu patted the back of Ye Xiaohan's hand gently, and Ye Xiaohan let go of Yun Mujiu's hand.
Then Yun Mujiu walked in front of the crowd, and Bai Yanshuang came out.
Yun Mujiu said to the Emperor and Empress, "Your Majesty, Empress, I left the table because I was going to look for Miss Bai. As Chunlan said at first, Miss Bai's clothes were indeed wet by the servants of the Princess's Mansion, and I left my seat because I heard that Miss Bai was injured."
"As for why the people in the princess's mansion deceived everyone, I think they must have other intentions..." Yun Mujiu said, turning his head to look at Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui fell to her knees, "I am innocent."
Bai Yanshuang was furious, pointing at Xiao Cui and saying, "You are lying! A maid clearly took me downstairs to change clothes, and I saw you bring me new clothes, and then you left. I didn't know you were going to lure Princess Ye away from the table!"
Bai Yanshuang pointed at her new clothes and turned around again. "Your Majesty, Queen, I am really not injured. My clothes were just wet. I don't know how the tea got splashed on me. And I was the only one sitting next to Princess Ye at that time. Before that, no one around Princess Ye had any problems, and no one had their clothes wet."
General Bai bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although my daughter is naughty, she never lies!"
"I know." The emperor's face was calm. He knew that today's tea party was not good for Yun Mujiu, and he guessed that Princess Gaoyang would join forces with others to deal with Yun Mujiu, but he never thought that even with such despicable means, Yun Mujiu would not be defeated.
The queen glanced at Bai Yanshuang, then looked at Ye Xiaohan.
"Night King, where did you find the Night Queen?"
"A small garden."
"Night King, please forgive me for asking one more question. How did you know that the Night King's Consort would be there?"
"I don't know. I'm just guessing. The princess likes water lilies, and there are only water lilies in the small garden of the princess's mansion."
"Your Majesty, the Night King once asked me about the scenery of the Princess's mansion, and I told him." Prince Consort Cao took the initiative to step forward. What the Night King said was true, so he had to come out to prove whether what the Night King said was true or not.
Princess Gaoyang and the others were slightly surprised. They thought Yun Mujiu was hiding near the main hall in the garden, but they didn't expect that she would run so far away in such a short time.
Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan. She didn't expect that this man was so attentive and found her according to her preferences.
The queen stared at Yun Mujiu: "Princess Ye, why did you go to the back garden?"
Yun Mujiu smiled faintly, "My Queen. When I heard that Miss Bai was injured, I hurriedly followed Xiao Cui to the main hall of the garden. However, during the conversation between Xiao Cui and me on the way, I felt that something was wrong with Xiao Cui. So as soon as I arrived at the main hall, I left Xiao Cui and left alone."
Xiao Cui was dumbfounded. The last sentence Princess Ye said was not true! She had clearly locked Princess Ye up.
Yun Mujiu had a calm expression, not affected by the various expressions of the crowd at all. She also completely ignored the resentful looks that Yun Shirou and the others gave her.
She came here to take advantage of the situation. Since Princess Gaoyang and the others wanted to lock her up, she would just do as they wished.
About half an hour ago, in the guest room, Yun Mujiu waited for Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mingwei to arrive, then drugged them and pushed them into the bathtub.
Then, Yun Mujiu used her inner strength to hear footsteps in the distance. Before everyone arrived at the scene, she had already jumped out of the window and left.
As soon as he slipped out, he saw Shadow Six coming out of the darkness. Yun Mujiu waved his hand lightly: "I'm fine, just rest assured and be a good shadow guard."
After listening for a while, they finally heard the sound of a door being knocked on in one of the rooms. When the two opened the door, they found Bai Yanshuang trapped in the room.
The three of them used Qinggong to avoid the guards and servants of the princess's mansion and finally arrived at the small garden.
Long before the banquet began, Yun Mujiu had ordered the secret guards to find out the layout of the princess's mansion, so they naturally knew which places were best to hide. The small garden was one of the best remote locations.
When Bai Yanshuang was splashed with tea, Yun Mujiu had already sensed something was wrong. She and five Fusang maids put on a show in front of Princess Gaoyang and Xiaocui, and then she left alone with Xiaocui.
As soon as she left, Fusang followed her instructions and quietly went to the front yard to find Meng Ninglang and Su Wen, and agreed to meet in the small garden.
In this way, with the presence of Bai Yanshuang, Meng Ninglang and Su Wen as witnesses, it is enough to clear her of the suspicion that she had appeared at the scene in the main hall.
She wasn't even in the main room, so how could she be having sex with someone?
Yun Mujiu smiled: "Xiao Cui, don't you believe what I said?"
Xiao Cui argued: "How could the princess not have entered the main hall? I locked the main hall door myself!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Regardless of whether Xiao Cui succeeded in locking Yun Mujiu up or not, her words were enough to prove that Xiao Cui had other intentions. Xiao Cui was also a servant of Princess Gao Yang, and Princess Gao Yang definitely had bad intentions towards Yun Mujiu.
Princess Gao Yang yelled, "Idiot! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yun Mujiu smiled faintly and said to the queen: "Xiao Cui wanted to lock me up, but she failed."
Then, she selectively told some facts. "I have never been into the main room, so of course I don't know what is going on inside, nor do I know there is a man inside. How can I say that I am having an affair with someone?"
"Later, on my way to the small garden, I heard Miss Bai calling out, and I realized that Miss Bai had been locked up. I rescued Miss Bai and went for a walk in the small garden together. Unexpectedly, I ran into Master Meng and Master Su who were enjoying the lake view there."
The queen looked at the crowd on both sides. Meng Ninglang and Su Wen, who were chosen, stood up and testified for Yun Mujiu, saying that they had been standing by the lake with Yun Mujiu and Bai Yanshuang to enjoy the scenery.
Now that Yun Mujiu had proof of his alibi, no one could doubt that Yun Mujiu left the table to do something bad.
Everyone cast complicated glances at Princess Gao Yang. The Emperor also looked dissatisfied. How could such a fool act so recklessly!
Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "My princess will not tolerate anyone questioning her. My princess is a very kind person, how can she allow others to frame her?"
When Ye Xiaohan said this, he looked straight at the emperor, indicating that he must give them an explanation!
