Lu Qingyue looked at Mo Zeshen and tears fell instantly, "I...I don't know..."
She didn't know how to tell him.
"Kou Dan, what on earth is going on!" Mo Zeshen looked at Kou Dan and said sternly.
Kou Dan immediately knelt down and said, "Go back to your lord, I... I dare not say..."
"Say!" Mo Zeshen said with cold eyes, "If you don't say anything, I will have my men beat you to death!"
Kou Dan immediately fell to the ground and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lu Qingyue, "Don't say it!"
Lu Qingyue immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mo Zeshen's clothes, crying: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, so there's no need to start a big fight..."
"I'm asking about Kou Dan, not you!" Mo Zeshen gave her a vicious look.
He finally didn't have to act in front of Lu Qingyue.
When Lu Qingyue saw the look of disgust in Mo Ze's deep eyes, she immediately trembled, and then Kou Dan's words rang in her ears, "Return to the prince, it was Ah Shun who beat him!"
Lu Qingyue suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face turned pale.
Mo Zeshen suddenly turned his back again, why? Obviously yesterday he was still very affectionate and said that when she gave birth to a child, he would ask her to be the princess.
However, that look just now was clearly one of long-standing hatred, without any affection at all.
"How dare you beat up my concubine? Come here, bring Ah Shun back to me!" Mo Ze felt proud in his eyes, and stepped forward to hug Lu Qingtang, "Princess, let's take a break to review the case. I'm here. Is it all ready?"
Lu Qingtang looked at Mo Zeshen and said, "Back to the prince, he has already arrived at the side hall."
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Qingyue again, "Kou Dan, take the concubine to the back hall and listen to how the prince will try Ashun."
"Yes." Kou Dan responded, stepped forward and picked up Lu Qingyue, "Concubine, please move."
Lu Qingyue's face was full of confusion, why should she go to the side hall?
In the side hall, Lu Huaian and his wife were still anxiously waiting for news about Lu Qingyue.
The servants of the prince's palace carried the screen over and asked the couple to sit behind the screen, saying that this was the prince's wish. The couple dared to talk back to Lu Qingtang in person, but they did not dare to say another word to King Chen. Although they disobeyed, they had no choice but to comply.
Yuan Lang had already brought Ah Shun back from the gambling house, tied him up tightly, and threw him into the side hall like a ball. His mouth was gagged, he took off his shirt, and was shivering with cold.
Across the screen, Lu Huaian and his wife were even more surprised. Why was a man tied up and thrown in here?
At the moment of doubt, Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen walked in, with Lu Qingyue being supported by Kou Dan behind them.
Mrs. Wang was bound to be happy when she saw her daughter, but was stopped by Yuan Lang, "Madam and the general, please sit down and wait for the prince to speak before you come forward."
"What is the purpose of this? How can we not explain it clearly? It makes it seem like we are under house arrest." Lu Huaian said somewhat unhappily.
Yuan Lang said coldly: "What the general said is different. Why would my prince put you under house arrest? Don't get it wrong or use the wrong idea!"
After hearing Yuan Lang's words, Lu Huaian did not dare to say anything more, so he had to sit back down with Wang.
In front of the screen, Lu Qingyue immediately became frightened when she saw the tied up Ah Shun. She didn't dare to look at him at all.
Ashun, however, began to call for help after seeing Lu Qingyue, but his mouth was blocked and he could not make any sound.
After all the other people had left, Mo Ze, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Yu Bai, take away the rag from Ah Shun's mouth."
Yu Bai complied with the instructions, and Ah Shun's mouth was relieved, and he immediately asked Lu Qingyue for help, "Concubine, please help me!"
"Save you? You beat my concubine like this, I will chop you into pieces!" Mo Zeshen said, winking at Yu Bai.
Yu Bai pulled out the short knife from his waist and stepped forward, pretending to kill Ah Shun. Ah Shun turned pale with fear.
He immediately looked at Lu Qingyue again, "Concubine, when did I beat you, you have to bear witness for me!"
Lu Qingyue was shocked and immediately lowered her head. She wanted to kill Ah Shun.
How can she help? She can't even protect herself now.
Behind the screen, Lu Huaian and his wife immediately became furious. The girl they thought was as eye-catching was actually beaten by a dirty servant. How could they bear it?
Lu Huaian immediately got angry and wanted to go forward and beat Ah Shun to death, but Yuan Lang stopped him, "General, the prince will take care of it, don't worry."
After hearing these words, Lu Huaian and Wang felt relieved.
Although he was angry in his heart, with King Chen protecting him, he would not let Ah Shun go.
"Yu Bai, do it!" Mo Zeshen gave the order again.
Ah Shun, who was lying on the ground, saw Yu Bai approaching step by step, and immediately shouted, "In that case, why don't I tell the truth! King Chen, you were cuckolded by me, and your woman's belly is my child, hahaha …”
As he spoke, he laughed, already prepared to die together.
I will never be a man again in this life, but I can have someone to support me when I die. This life is worth it!
But as soon as these words came out, Lu Qingyue immediately stood up, her whole body trembling, just like Lu Huaian and his wife behind the screen.
How could this happen?
Lu Huaian's daughter has been following the rules since she was a child and has never broken the rules. How could she steal a man behind the prince's back? This is impossible!
Lu Huaian almost gritted his teeth and went forward to beat Ah Shun to death.
Mrs. Wang on the side was also trembling with anger. How could she slander her daughter's innocence like this? This is simply inhumane. To say that it was Lu Qingtang, there might be some beauty in this matter, but this is simply nonsense.
However, she also murmured in her heart, if Ah Shun was really slanderous, why didn't Lu Qingyue defend herself?
Seeing Lu Huaian angrily getting up and coming forward, she and Yuan Lang stopped Lu Huaian so that they could continue watching.
At this time, Lu Qingyue looked at Mo Zeshen with aggrieved expression, but Mo Zeshen only had Lu Qingtang in his eyes, without even looking at her.
"Lu Qingyue, what do you have to say?" Mo Zeshen said.
Lu Qingyue immediately knelt down, "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense. I... what I am carrying in my belly is your child. Have you forgotten that night? You are still in my body..."
"Nonsense!" Mo Ze blushed deeply and immediately stopped her.
He looked at Lu Qingtang with uneasiness, and Lu Qingtang reached out to hold his hand and comforted him with her eyes.
She believed him.
Ah Shun laughed underground, "Your Majesty is right, the concubine is indeed talking nonsense. It was clearly me who left you behind that night. I also took off your clothes and let you sleep in the same bed, hahahaha..."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Zeshen smiled again, which was a sign of comfort from the bottom of his heart.
He could finally tell Lu Qingtang openly and honestly that he was innocent and that he did not betray her.
He left without saying goodbye and secretly went to Binzhou to train. During that time, what he had been worried about was that Lu Qingtang would leave her in a fit of anger.
Fortunately, she believed in herself and worked hard to prove his innocence. Mo Zeshen could not help but fall in love with Lu Qingtang, and it was not a superficial love.
