"My father is aware that this is definitely not the case. He is from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, so how can he say anything detrimental to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"
Gu Qishen couldn't even wait for Song Xunchuan to finish speaking, and immediately knelt on the ground and looked pitiful.
The emperor frowned slightly, but did not stop Gu Qishen.
When Song Xunchuan finished speaking, An Ruowan moved her palms slightly, and the figure kneeling next to Gu Qishen suddenly stood up.
"The situation that day..."
What people didn't expect was that before the secret guard could finish his words, he was interrupted by Eunuch Sun who hurried in from the side.
"Your Majesty, Miss Song of the Duke of Zhenguo is outside asking for an audience."
Hearing this, An Ruowan frowned unconsciously. She didn't know what her cousin was doing in the palace at this time.
Before she could recover, the emperor waved his hand and ordered Eunuch Sun to invite the people in.
When Song Li came in, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Every move she made was graceful, and it was obvious that she was a noblewoman in the capital. If this hadn't happened, this woman and Gu Qishen would have had a good marriage.
It's a pity that things are so big now, so the emperor can only put his thoughts aside for the time being.
"My daughter has seen your Majesty."
"Get up, why did you come to the palace today?"
Although the emperor had already guessed the reason for her coming here, he still set his sights on Song Li.
"If I return to the Holy Spirit, today's events are all caused by my daughter, and my daughter must come today."
After the words fell, Song Li raised his head expressionlessly, "The second prince did not force his daughter to do anything."
The hall instantly became quiet, with only An Ruowan and Song Xunchuan widening their eyes in disbelief.
"Cousin, what are you talking about? Do you know this kind of thing? Now you are in front of the Holy One."
Song Xunchuan's words were already confusing and he didn't know what he was talking about, but the surprise in his eyes almost overflowed. He had no idea why Song Li would do this.
Although An Ruowan didn't speak, her eyes fell on Gu Qishen.
As expected, she saw Gu Qishen curling up his lips at this moment. It was obvious that he had known about this for a long time.
But what An Ruowan didn't understand was why Song Li would listen to his mercy.
"Are you telling the truth?"
In fact, in the past three days, the emperor also found some clues, but he did not expect Song Li to come forward at this time.
Song Li kowtowed heavily, without any trace of emotion on his face, "Everything my servant said is true, I hope the Holy One will understand clearly."
Now that Song Li said this, the emperor raised his hand and pointed at An Ruowan and Song Xunchuan beside him.
"Then why did the two of them say completely different things?"
Song Li didn't even turn her head, she had already thought of her words.
"It was because my daughter-in-law didn't explain the matter clearly that day that my cousin and cousin misunderstood."
After the words fell, Song Li took a deep breath, "Because of this matter..."
"Brother, it's so lively here."
The sound of footsteps coming from outside the palace door interrupted Song Li's unspoken words and made the emperor look up.
An Ruowan could guess who the person was without raising her head, but she subconsciously focused her eyes on Song Li. She wanted to know why.
"Why are Zitan here?"
The emperor's expression was not good-looking, because every time Gu Beichen appeared before, nothing good happened, and it must be the same today.
"On the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beichen sat down beside him, "It turns out that the princess is also here, which is strange. What happened here?"
An Ruowan then raised her eyes and told what happened just now.
"Ms. Song, have you thought clearly?"
Gu Beichen took the opportunity to cast his gaze on Song Li, and saw Song Li lowering his head lower.
"Thank you, Prince Rong, for thinking about my daughter, but I have indeed thought it through..."
Before Song Li could finish her words, Gu Beichen spoke again.
"Even if you already know that Zhao Mingkang is safe and sound, you still use this rhetoric?"
As Gu Beichen finished speaking, Song Li stood up regardless of her appearance, her eyes full of excitement, "Is what Prince Rong said true?"
Another person who also reacted to "Zhao Mingkang" in Gu Beichen's mouth was Gu Qishen.
However, in front of everyone, Gu Qishen couldn't speak rashly. He could only hold his hands tightly to control the anger in his heart.
Gu Beichen seemed to have expected their reaction early on, and nodded slightly to Song Li, seeing that Song Li's tense body finally relaxed at this moment when he entered the hall.
The emperor also noticed the clues this time and narrowed his eyes to look at Song Li.
"Miss Song, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Father..."
Gu Qishen didn't expect that Gu Beichen would notice that he had made things so secretive, and he suddenly panicked.
But before he could finish his words, the emperor glared at him, and he had to shut his mouth angrily.
"What I just said is irrelevant. The second prince did intend to destroy my innocence that day. I hope your Majesty will see clearly!"
After the words fell, Song Li still leaned towards the emperor, but the words he spoke were completely different.
But the emperor couldn't completely believe her words, "Shen'er, do you have anything to say?"
Hearing that the emperor finally asked him, Gu Qishen quickly knelt and moved forward a few steps.
"Back to my father, this Miss Song's words don't match her words. Who knows if she wants to deliberately frame my son."
Song Li instantly raised his head in surprise, "The second prince is indeed very capable, but are you sure that my daughter can't produce any evidence?"
Hearing what she said, Gu Qishen immediately sneered, "If you don't tell me about the evidence, I've forgotten it."
While talking, Gu Qishen took out the original handkerchief from his arms, "I wonder what explanation Miss Song can give?"
The emperor saw Song Li's expression changing instantly, and his eyes became more scrutinized.
"This veil is the one that I found missing not long ago. I don't know why it appeared in the hands of the second prince."
Listening to Song Li's stammering explanation, Gu Qishen had already thought of his words.
"Isn't this just because you like me the most, so you specially gave it to me! At this point, what else do you have to say?"
Gu Qishen's aggressiveness really made Song Xunchuan very angry, and he immediately raised his hand.
Seeing this, Gu Qishen felt confident and confident, "Why, is General Song planning to attack me in front of my father? Well, let my father take a good look at how I got this injury in the first place!"
Those words made Song Xunchuan's forehead veins pop out, but he finally let go of his fist.
An Ruowan took a step forward and looked at Gu Qishen, "I dare to ask the second prince, you keep claiming that the things were given to you by your cousin, but I wonder if the second prince still remembers when and where it was given?"
Gu Qishen glanced at An Ruowan beside her proudly, "Of course I remember that in the evening five days ago, she specifically asked the maid next to her to invite me to a pavilion not far away from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. "
Listening to what Gu Qishen said so clearly, even the emperor didn't believe him. Only An Ruowan's laughter could be heard at this moment.
"Second Prince, are you sure it was at that time on that day?"
