Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

A few days later, under Mei Changsu's meticulous planning, in order to close the "poisoning in the palace" case, he directly arranged for someone to frame the Northern Yan delegation.

The scope of the poisoning case is getting wider and wider, and it is clear that the martial arts contest to choose a son-in-law can no longer proceed, so it is better to end it as soon as possible.

Ding Peng of Daliang was clearly unable to fight anymore, and Bailiqi, who was left, had no one to match him. Seeing this, Emperor Liang had no choice but to go with the flow and express his extreme anger towards the Yan delegation.

He was ordered to leave the capital within three days, and at the Crown Prince's urging, in order to appease Ding Peng, he was directly promoted to a captain in the Imperial Guard, which can be considered as planting a small mole in the Imperial Guard.

Everyone was happy about this, except for a very few people who were not so pleased...

But no sooner had the storm of the poisoning case passed than the Crown Prince and Consort Yue, this eccentric mother and son, began to take action against Princess Nihuang just like in the original story, trying to use the aphrodisiac "Love Silk Entanglement" to make her and Sima Lei consummate their relationship.

Little did they know that the news of their decision had already been leaked, and Su Li of the Ling Prince's Mansion and Mei Changsu of the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion had both received the information.

Su Li, draped in a black and gold cloak, stood in the snow, listening to her guards' report, and chuckled softly: "The show is about to begin!"

"Come, follow me to the palace..."

Under the pretext of paying respects to her great-grandmother, Su Li first went to the Imperial Study to pay her respects to Emperor Liang. After receiving a few words of encouragement from the latter, she left the main hall directly.

At the corner of the corridor, one could see Prince Jing with his hand on his sword, his face solemn and his expression hurried as he headed towards the forbidden courtyard.

He didn't rush over immediately, but waited until he heard the commotion inside and a large number of the Crown Prince's personal guards rushing into the courtyard and fighting before stepping to the doorway.

"Gentlemen, why is it so lively today!"

Prince Jing, who was fighting with the Crown Prince's guards, saw Su Li and his face lit up with joy: "Eighth brother... Consort Yue and the Crown Prince drugged the Princess and attempted to do something improper."

"Oh?" Su Li pretended not to know and looked at the Crown Prince and Consort Yue.

"How dare you! How could I possibly do such a thing? It was clearly you who suddenly rushed in and took the princess hostage. Come here, seize Prince Jing!" The Crown Prince snorted coldly and waved his hand to give the order.

"Shameless, utterly shameless, and you're supposed to be the Crown Prince."

Prince Jing was not good with words, but he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His face was cold, and he brandished his sword: "With me here today, no one will be able to get close to the princess."

Consort Yue's eyes were cold. This guy had ruined such a good opportunity. Her red lips were indifferent: "Xiao Jingyan, I'm giving you one last chance. Put the princess down. Otherwise, even though you are a prince, you are guilty of a capital offense for storming the harem and attacking the crown prince."

"hehe……"

Prince Jing let out a cold laugh, observing his surroundings with a detached eye. He watched as more and more of the Crown Prince's personal guards gathered, pondering how to break through.

"what!"

One of the guards was knocked away, and Su Li strode into the encirclement and stood with Prince Jing.

Seeing this, Consort Yue and the Crown Prince's expressions turned cold again. The latter said angrily, "Xiao Jinglin, are you also going to oppose me?"

"Your Highness is joking. I don't believe a word any of you say."

Su Li snatched Nihuang from Prince Jing's hands and smiled gently under everyone's gaze: "I think the princess is safest in my hands."

Consort Yue coldly retorted, "You...how dare you!"

Prince Jing realized what was happening and stood directly in front of Su Li, bowing his head and saying, "Eighth brother, you take the princess and go first. I'll stay behind to cover the rear."

"In that case, I'll leave it to Seventh Brother."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, the Crown Prince's eyes hardened, and at Consort Yue's signal, he directly ordered, "Kill them!"

"yes--"

A group of the Crown Prince's personal guards immediately charged forward like wolves and tigers, but Prince Jing, as expected of a seasoned prince, stood alone in front of the door, preventing several people from getting close.

Su Li glanced at Prince Jing behind him and chuckled softly. He then picked up the beauty and disappeared in a flash.

He then quickly bypassed the imperial carriages of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, leaving through another palace. Only when he entered a separate courtyard did he have the mind to look at the princess.

Her delicate face was flushed, her watery eyes were misty, but she was still somewhat conscious.

Upon seeing the dashing young man before her, Nihuang felt a surge of heat coursing through her body, and murmured, "Ling...Prince Ling, is that you?"

"How is the princess?"

"My head is so dizzy..."

Nihuang felt that the person in front of her was so handsome and dashing, as if he were the same person she had always longed for.

Confused and disoriented, she couldn't help but move closer to the other person and offer her cherry lips.

Su Li extended a finger and tapped her forehead, then pushed it back slightly.

"Princess, can you hear me?"

The beauty obviously didn't care about any of that, and directly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Nihuang, wake up... calm down."

"Don't do this..."

……

After a long while, Nihuang stared blankly at the young man who was now dressed and slender, his tall and graceful body curled up on the bed, and she remained silent.

"I don't need to explain what happened; I haven't done anything..."

Su Li looked at the cold and beautiful princess with a complicated expression and slightly red eyes, and said very directly.

"I know, you can leave."

Nihuang gritted her teeth and remained cold. She had observed the course of events and realized that it had nothing to do with this Prince Ling from beginning to end.

But couldn't he just run away? Why did he have to stay alone with me?

Su Li opened the door, leaving with one last sentence before departing: "Hurry up, the Crown Prince should have already made a scene before His Majesty!"

"go out!"

Su Li closed the door, a slight smile playing on her lips, and let out a soft chuckle.

Before long, Princess Nihuang, dressed in her finest attire, walked silently ahead, with Su Li following closely behind. The two arrived at the emperor's residence.

As expected, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived: the Crown Prince and Consort Yue, Prince Yu and the Empress, and Prince Jing kneeling on the ground. Emperor Liang sat alone behind his desk, his face contorted with anger and frustration.

"Jinglin, where did you and the princess run off to again? Why are you only back now?"

Princess Nihuang's lips twitched slightly as she glanced at the latter. Su Li was kneeling on one knee, reporting, "Your Majesty, I have taken Princess Nihuang to a place of refuge."

"Really?" Emperor Liang didn't doubt it and asked directly, "Why did you get involved in this matter?"

"Actually, I'm also wondering why it's such a coincidence. I just saw you today, Father, and then went to my great-grandmother's place. After that, I ran into my seventh brother in a hurry, and then I heard the sound of fighting. His Highness the Crown Prince and Consort Yue know what happened after that."

Zuli's answer was watertight.

Emperor Liang snorted, it was unclear whether he believed it or not: "The same kind of coincidence as Prince Yu's..."

After Emperor Liang finished asking his question, Princess Nihuang immediately knelt down: "Now that the matter has been clarified, please, Your Majesty, grant me justice."

Seeing this, Prince Yu and the Empress chimed in, adding fuel to the fire. Emperor Liang was extremely disappointed in the Crown Prince, but with the court in disarray, he gave him a cold glance and issued an edict.

"The Yue family is immoral and despicable, and cannot be tolerated by palace rules. From this day forward, the title of Imperial Concubine is hereby revoked... All her privileges are reduced accordingly, and she is to be moved to Qingli Courtyard for solitary confinement and reflection. She is not to leave without imperial decree."

With the issuance of this imperial decree, the matter was brought to a close, and the Empress and Prince Yu were clearly the biggest winners on the surface...
