Tuoba Qian boldly replied to the Emperor, wanting to say a few words of justice for Lan Fu.
Situ Shi didn't expect Tuoba Qian to give her a hard blow just as she wanted Lan Fu to admit it. Situ Shi really wanted to find a hole to hide and not let others see her embarrassed appearance.
"Hmph…then show me the evidence! I don't want to waste my time listening to nonsense!”The Emperor put on a livid expression and said that if Tuoba Qian wanted to explain things for Lan Fu, he had to produce evidence. Otherwise, no one would believe Tuoba Qian's words.
Tuoba Qian had nothing else to say. He had only guessed that Lan Fu was innocent based on his intuition. Tuoba Qian naturally could not bring out any evidence now.
He could only place his hopes on Lan Fu himself. Tuoba Qian was hoping that Lan Fu would be able to recall some key things so that he could get rid of his suspicion.
"Emperor, I know you won't believe me without evidence! But now, I've thought of something. I've been with someone all this time, and that person can prove my innocence! Because from this, it can be seen that I don't have the time to commit the crime at all!”
Lan Fu sincerely explained to the emperor.
"What witness? Why don't you call him out to testify for you?”The emperor questioned whether Lan Fu was lying.
"But I'm not sure if this witness will testify for me. Previously, when I was with him, it was because of a misunderstanding. We even argued for a long time…"
Now, Lan Fu was extremely regretful. If she could turn back her life, Lan Fu would definitely not insist on quarreling with the Seventh Princess! Otherwise, he could have asked the Seventh Princess to speak up for him.
However, he was glad that the Seventh Princess did not make things worse for him. However, Lan Fu did not expect the Seventh Princess to speak up for him.
"Who is that person? Feel free to tell me." The emperor asked Lan Fu to speak directly.
"That person said that she is the Seventh Princess! When I returned to the palace, I bumped into the Seventh Princess because I couldn't dodge in time, so we even quarreled. So, the Seventh Princess must have a very good impression of me!”
Lan Fu told her what happened after she met the Seventh Princess.
"Oh? In that case, someone, call the Seventh Princess over!”The Emperor ordered the servants to hurry out and call for the Seventh Princess. However, just as the Emperor had this thought, the Seventh Princess arrived at the door of the palace.
"Father…you must help me…ah? Why are you here? Humph!" After seeing Lan Fu, the Seventh Princess was very surprised. She did not expect this woman to be in the palace. Could she really be someone related to the Emperor?
"Stop fooling around. I have something to ask you now! You must answer truthfully!" The Emperor's solemn expression made the Seventh Princess solemn as well.
"Seventh Princess, tonight, the Seventeenth Prince unfortunately fell into the water, and everyone suspected that it was Murong Fujin, who was pushed by the person beside you. However, Murong Fujin suddenly said that you can testify for him because you just quarreled with him. Look at Murong Fujin beside you, so that we can judge if what Murong Fujin said is true!”
Hearing the Emperor's words, the Seventh Princess quickly turned her head and smiled strangely. She then said to the Emperor,""Father, this is the first time I've seen him! So I didn't quarrel with Murong Fujin just now!”
As Lan Fu had expected, the Seventh Princess really held a grudge. Now that she was framing him, Lan Fu was really helpless…
However, Lan Fu refused to give up. When the Seventh Princess entered the door just now, she had already revealed a flaw!
"Then may I ask, Seventh Princess, why were you so surprised to see me when you first entered the public? He even had a very angry expression on his face. I believe that everyone here is not stupid. If you haven't met me or quarreled with me, how do you know me?”
Lan Fu exposed the flaw in the Seventh Princess 'lie.
"You!" The Seventh Princess wanted to refute Lan Fu immediately, but the moment she raised her finger, she felt that it was inappropriate. She had already said that she didn't know Murong Lanfu. However, she had been exposed. The Seventh Princess was afraid that the Emperor would blame her, so she silently lowered her head.
"Humph, that means…what Murong Fujin said is true? You actually dared to lie to me, but I'll give you one last chance! Tell me, what exactly happened between you and Murong Fujin?”
The Emperor angrily reprimanded the Seventh Princess because the Seventh Princess actually dared to lie to him in front of everyone. This made the Emperor feel that he had lost all face.
"Imperial Father, please spare me. I'm telling you, I was actually quarreling with Murong Fujin just now. Because Murong Fujin bumped into me, I was very angry!”The Seventh Princess hurriedly told the Emperor the truth.
One sentence from the Seventh Princess was enough to reveal the truth!
As for what the Seventh Princess said, she was the one who bumped into him and not the other way around, Lan Fu didn't mind at all.
The Emperor looked at the Seventh Princess with a dark face, then looked at Lan Fu and said to Lan Fu,""If that's the case, then there's nothing for you to do! Someone come, slap the servant girl who is taking care of the Seventeenth Prince a hundred times!”
" Spare me, Your Majesty…" With the servant girl's miserable cry, Lan Fu's trap was finally resolved. The banquet also ended in a hurry. The Emperor really wanted to quickly turn the page tonight.
"Alright! Dear ministers, it's getting late, and the banquet is about to end! If there's anything else, tell me now-if there's nothing else, then leave!”
With the Emperor's words, today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended. Tuoba Qian also brought Situ Shi and Lan Fu out of the palace.
Outside the palace, Lan Fu was about to sit on the sedan chair for the return trip, but before she could step on it, she heard Tuoba Qian's voice.
"Lanfu…"
"Hmm?" Lan Fu stopped and turned around. It was indeed Tuoba Qian who was calling for her. Lan Fu asked Tuoba Qian curiously," Your Highness, is there anything I can do for you?"”
"Nothing important. I just wanted to tell you in advance that I'm going to stay at your place tonight.”After saying that, Tuoba Qian left Lan Fu before she could respond.
"What is it? "Did I hear wrongly…" Lan Fu couldn't imagine why Tuoba Qian suddenly had the impulse to stay over at his place…
In Lan Fu's opinion, this was really strange. Tuoba Qian seemed to have never paid attention to her and was not interested in her. Therefore, on the night of the wedding night, Lan Fu did not see Tuoba Qian.
What was Tuoba Qian trying to do now?
