Chapter 61
Xie Chen thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. It's just that when I listened to others, I felt that there was someone behind Xiao Dingshan. It's just that I didn't achieve my previous goal and dragged down my own people, so I randomly found someone to take the blame."

As soon as Xie Chen said this, the breath on the field became heavy. This was what everyone thought in their hearts, so Xie Chen put it on the bright side.

Xiao Dingshan was punished, and the fifth prince was suspected by others, but everyone forgot that the direction of the development of the matter was towards the prince.

Sun Shilang and Xiao Dingshan belong to the fifth prince, and they even had grudges with the princelings because of this before. If there is anyone who hates Sun Shilang so much, it must be someone from the prince's side. One guess is also people from the princelings.

Because Yan Yichen was also implicated in it, it seems unavoidable to be wronged, but thinking about it carefully, the beneficiary is actually only Yan Yichen, which not only clears the grievances and proves his innocence, but also makes the fifth prince more or less suspicious by the emperor .

Yan Yichen lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and he was only looking forward to the day of the palace banquet. He would completely ruin Xie Chen's reputation, and he would no longer be as proud as he is now. Let's see if she will dare to look down on him at that time.

"I didn't expect people outside the palace to pay so much attention to this matter, but it's rare to get together today, let's stop talking about political affairs." Yan Qing'an said with a smile, explaining the situation to everyone.

"Second brother is right!" Yan Yiran echoed.

Yan Yichen raised his head and restored the original smile on his face, nodded in acquiescence to this sentence.

After the few people stopped talking about political affairs, they chatted happily, talked about interesting folk things, and also talked about the embarrassing things that happened when they were young when they didn't study seriously in the Shangshufang.

The three seem to be very harmonious, but in fact, dark waves are surging.

Xie Chen didn't know whether it was because the room was too warm or because he drank too much alcohol, gradually he felt his eyelids were heavy, he couldn't help but propped his head up with his hands, and tried hard not to fall asleep.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen's appearance, shook her arm under the table, and handed her a black pill.

Thanks to Gu Hengyu's movements, Xie Chen was a little more awake, and he gathered his strength to look at Gu Hengyu, with tired doubts on his face.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen and mouthed to her, "Eat."

It stands to reason that Xie Chen lived a new life and was very careful about the fragrance or the contents of the wine, not to mention that she knew that there was something wrong with the wine today, but she didn't find anything wrong.

Seeing what Gu Hengyu said to him, Xie Chen swallowed the pill.

Even she herself didn't realize that she would trust Gu Hengyu so much, and she didn't ask what the pills were for.

After taking the pill, Xie Chen felt extremely bitter, and her mind was instantly sobered by the bitter taste. She even felt that it wasn't the pill Gu Hengyu gave that was useful, but that it was so bitter that she couldn't sleep.

No matter what, Xie Chen woke up, kept his senses, and looked at Gu Hengyu.

Seeing that Xie Chen wasn't as sleepy as before, Gu Hengyu raised his eyebrows to signal Xie Chen to observe his surroundings, and then pointed to his ears.

It was only at this time that Xie Chen noticed that there seemed to be bursts of piano sound coming from his ears, but if he didn't pay special attention to it, the sound seemed to be integrated with everything and could hardly be heard.

Xie Chen looked at the other three people again, and saw that they were in the same state as he was just now, as if they were about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Xie Chen subconsciously looked at Yan Qing'an.

When Xie Chen watched Yan Qingan's eyelids almost close, he heard his voice from the palace again.

"I think my father is confused about Sun Shilang, why didn't he investigate thoroughly! You must know that everyone almost mistaken me for me before, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

Obviously it was Yan Qing'an who didn't speak, but the voice in the air turned out to be Yan Qing'an's.

"Nizi, Nizi! What are you doing!" Outside, the emperor kicked open the door of Fengyin Pavilion, his face was full of anger, and he could hardly speak clearly.

Yan Qing'an and the other two princes were also suddenly awakened by the sound of kicking the door. Only Xie Chen and Gu Hengyu noticed that the sound of the piano stopped!

The three princes looked at the emperor in confusion, not knowing why he was angry, but their first reaction was to kneel down.

"Father Wan'an, Father, why are you here?" Yan Qing'an looked up at the emperor, but he didn't hear what the emperor scolded when he came in.

Seeing Yan Qing'an's innocent look, the emperor felt even more furious, and he raised his foot to kick him: "How dare you ask me such treasonous things!"

Seeing the situation, Xie Chen's mind was blank except for the last time he saw Yan Qing'an in his previous life, so he subconsciously blocked Yan Qing'an.

Everything happened in an instant, and no one else expected Xie Chen's reaction.

The emperor's kick inevitably hit Xie Chen.

The kick was so hard that Xie Chen was kneeling on the ground and covering his arm, he couldn't help crying out in pain, Gu Hengyu immediately went to check on her injury.

The emperor didn't expect Xie Chen to stand in front of Yan Qing'an, knowing that his foot was full of anger, regardless of severity, although the anger was not calm, he still cared about Xie Chen: "Chen'er, you..."

Only then did Yan Qing'an come to his senses, looked at Xie Chen worriedly, and asked, "Chen'er, did you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor, "Nizi, you have not repented until now, and let Chen'er kick for you, I... I will let you know now..."

Saying this, he couldn't think of how to punish Yan Qing'an for a moment, so he pulled out the sword of the guard around him and wanted to stab Yan Qing'an.

Seeing this, Yan Yichen and Yan Yiran hugged the emperor's leg alone, and stopped them: "Father calm down, please spare the second brother's life."

The scene was chaotic, Yan Qing'an sat on the spot watching the scene and didn't know what happened, and his father didn't give him a chance to explain at all.

Xie Chen was afraid that Yan Yichen and the others would not be able to stop the emperor, so he ignored his own pain, "Uncle, listen to Chen'er, everything is not what you think."

Gu Hengyu was afraid that the sword in the emperor's hand would hurt Xie Chen, so he stood up and walked over, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I heard what you just heard."

Finally, seeing a person standing by his side, the emperor stopped what he was doing and looked at Gu Hengyu.

The emperor looked at Gu Hengyu, wanting him to speak up for him, he knew that Gu Hengyu was not from any prince present.

"Your Majesty, although the rebellious words just now seemed to come from the prince, but the minister was sitting in the palace at that time, and found that the prince seemed a little tired, and was about to wake him up to leave, and that speech was made at that time." Gu Hengyu told the emperor the truth.

"That's right, uncle, I saw that the prince's elder brother had his eyes closed and his mouth closed, how did he make such a sound?" Xie Chen added.

One is his most trusted courtier, and the other is his most beloved niece.

The words of the two of them still have weight with the emperor.

No matter how stupid Yan Qing'an was, he knew that he had been tricked by others, and said to the emperor: "Father, I really don't know, I just felt sleepy, and when I woke up, I only saw that my father was standing Erchen is in front of you!"

Yan Yichen and Yan Yiran also followed suit.

"That's true, Father."

"Maybe it's because of drinking, my son also felt a little sleepy just now."
