Chapter 26: The Best Witness
try.">"Alright." Xiao Zhan also nodded helplessly, signaling the servants to escort the doctor out."Father, Mother, you two are tired as well. Go back to your room and rest. I'll take care of this he...Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"No, Your Highness. At that time, this servant girl was in excruciating pain from her wounds and just wanted to find a quiet place to rest. So, there was only Qingluo with me." She then blinked her beautiful eyes, looking innocent and confused: "How were His Royal Highness the Prince and Miss Jiang framed Why would Consort Shu suspect this servant girl This servant girl has no feud with them, so why would she harm them"
"Words are indeed skillful and colors charming! This palace sees that you will not shed tears until you see the coffin!" Shufei's eyes were practically blazing with anger.
The Empress glanced at Consort Shu, then coughed lightly and asked Xiao Yuge, "So, no one can prove that you were always in the pavilion, can they"
>
"Yes." Xiao Yuge nodded, lowering her eyes forlornly.
Shufei, upon hearing this, was immediately agitated and pointed at her, shouting in a shrill voice: "If no one can prove it, then it must be you!"
“Why hasn’t anyone proven it I can prove it!” At this moment, Ninghua opposite suddenly stood up, bowed to the Empress, and said, “Your Majesty, I can prove that after Xiao Yuge returned from the changing pavilion, she stayed in that pavilion to rest. Not only can I prove it, but Miss Ye can prove it as well!”
>
Ye Ting, who was sitting nearby, also quickly got up and said: "Yes, this servant can also testify. At that time, this servant and the County Princess were chatting not far from that pavilion. We indeed saw Miss Xiao Er resting in the pavilion until Empress Dowager summoned her, only then did she get up."
>
Everyone in the grand hall knew that Ning Hua and Xiao Yu Ge had never gotten along. Words coming out of her mouth naturally held more credibility, coupled with Ye Ting's testimony, their words would naturally not be doubted by anyone. At this moment, even Shu Fei began to secretly doubt, could it really not have been done by Xiao Yu Ge
“My dear Imperial Concubine Shu, it seems there’s been a misunderstanding. Someone else might be behind framing Grand Prince Xian and Miss Jiang, besides, Ge'er is injured and couldn't have gone to such a distant place.” The Empress held back her anger. How dare this Concubine Shu slander her future daughter-in-law Did she think the Empress was just an ornament
"Since that's the case, then all the ladies present today are suspects!" Shu Fei still had a look of unwillingness on her face. She looked around and paused: "Where is Xiao Yufu Why didn't she come"

"With regards to Concubine Huishui, Miss Xiao suddenly fainted due to illness a while ago. His Highness the Prince has already sent her back to the Xiao residence." Rong'er, a maid beside the Empress, reported.
"Not dizzy in the morning, not dizzy in the evening, but dizzy right now! What a coincidence!" Shufei gritted her teeth.
Even Xiao Yu Ge was sneering secretly: "He sure got away fast!"
It has to be said that Xiao Yufu played this move brilliantly. She knew that Shu Fei's faction wouldn't let them off the hook, and leaving Xiao Yuge alone in the palace would certainly cause trouble. However, she pretended to faint and took Qian Si Chen away. This way, even if something happened to Xiao Yuge in the palace, she could wash her hands clean. Moreover, with Qian Si Chen gone, Xiao Yuge was isolated and defenseless. Those noble ladies definitely wouldn't miss the opportunity to step on her. Just those cunning noble ladies, one scheme per person, would be enough for Xiao Yuge to suffer.

Rong'er answered again, “Your Grace, Miss Xiao left the palace when Miss Jiang was still admiring flowers or on her way to the changing room. Therefore, Miss Xiao’s suspicion can be ruled out.” She deliberately spoke the three words "changing room" slowly, reminding Empress Shu not to go too far. After all, if they investigated the matter of the changing room, they would know exactly what happened.
>
The Empress wasn't trying to stand up for Xiao Yufu, but she didn't want the Xiao family to be implicated because of this. After all, the royal family and the Xiao family are going to be in-laws in the future.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang has woken up!" someone reported from the Shufei Palace.
Shufeng knew that she couldn't find out anything at this point, so she glared fiercely at Xiao Yuge, let out a cold snort, and swept away with her sleeves.
>
Looking at Shu Fei's arrogant departing figure, the Empress secretly frowned: This woman, relying on Jiang Kun's power, is getting more and more presumptuous!
"Today's matters end here in the Zichen Palace. If even half a word of gossip spreads, this palace will show no mercy. Have you all heard clearly" The Empress scanned the assembled noblewomen with a fierce gaze.
"Your Imperial Order is obeyed!"
All the noble ladies now just want to get home quickly. This matter is serious, it concerns the royal face, even if you gave me ten more guts I wouldn't dare speak carelessly about it.
Xiao Yuge knew that the faction of Consort Shu, since they suspected her, would certainly not let her go. Therefore, she could no longer stay in this palace. Who knows if those villains behind the scenes would still scheme against her Bearing the title of future Crown Princess, she was destined to make too many enemies.
She also excused herself, citing illness. With so much having happened today, the Empress was also worried that something else might occur. Therefore, she too hastily ended the banquet and secretly arranged for someone to thoroughly investigate the matter between Jiang Zhiyi and Prince Xian.
The carriage that brought them had already sent Xiao Yufu back, leaving Xiao Yuge with no choice but to ride in the carriage temporarily arranged by the Empress Dowager.
"Sing the song of Xiao!" Ninghua's voice rang out from beside him.
"Is something the matter" Xiao Yu Ge merely gave her a cool glance. She didn't have much goodwill towards this county princess, after all, in her past life, she had been humiliated by her many times. However, considering that she had just spoken up for her, she would at least be polite enough to answer.
"Today you saved me, and I, Ning Hua, am a person who knows how to repay kindness. From now on, this county princess will no longer treat you as before." For a proud county princess to say such words was truly not easy.
"It seems I should be grateful to the county princess's subordinates for showing mercy." Xiao Yuge turned and entered the carriage. She really didn't want to have much interaction with Ning Hua.
Ning Hua had never been ignored like this before, she was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Xiao Yu Ge, what are you putting on This princess has put down her status to speak with you, what else do you want Besides, just now in the hall, it was this princess who helped you!"
> Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Xiao Yu Ge heard this and lifted the curtain, giving her a smile. "Your noble status, you needn't be so humble. However, considering how you just spoke up for me, thank you! Normally, I find you quite irritating, but right now, you seem much more agreeable. You and I have similar temperaments, perhaps one day we could even become friends." She had initially intended to ignore him, but upon second thought, she changed her mind.
Today's events, she even implicated Ning Hua and Ye Ting. She deliberately made Qing Luo pick a spot where Ning Hua and the others could see, but couldn't see it so clearly. She held onto her cloak, pretending to help her rest there.

This way, even if someone suspected it was her, both Ning Hua and Ye Ting would be her best witnesses. Even if Ning Hua refused to testify for her, the well-known gentle and kind Ye Ting would definitely stand up, and things would go exactly as she had planned beforehand. However, she didn't expect that Qian Ting Xuan would see through her plan. This man was dangerous; he could be a helper if used well, but a stumbling block if not. was she experiencing'I have returned from Hell, to drag them all into it...'"Since you know I've returned with grievances, you should know I won't let go..."Where did she come from with all this ange...
