"Innocent?"

  Ning Lao let out a cold snort, and on his calm face, a hint of mockery rose: "I heard that more than half a year ago, your royal family framed Yun Yaotou, claiming she robbed a handsome man in the street, just to make the prince break off their engagement. But I found out that the one who intentionally framed her was none other than the innocent Muru Shuang you mentioned!"

  The old man's words were like a heavy blow, hitting Mu Gui Fei's heart heavily. She was shocked and stared with wide eyes, denying vehemently: "This is impossible! Wú Shuāng's heart is kind, it's absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing!"

  Even if Mu Yu Fei said so, she didn't have any confidence in her heart. Perhaps others were not clear about Mu Wu Shuang's true character, but she understood it very clearly! With Mu Wu Shuang's personality, she would definitely do such a thing.

  "Come in!"

  Gao Tu steeled himself and ordered sternly: "Bring Mu Wushuang before me!"

  "Your Majesty!" Mu Gui Fei exclaimed, her fists clenched tightly, "Wu Shuang would never do such a thing, this is all slander!"

  If Mu Wushuang's reputation were to be completely ruined, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Mu family. She absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!

  "My dear wife, you're tired, go and rest."

  Gao Tu glanced at Mu Gui Fei's pale face and opened his mouth lightly, apparently, he was already dissatisfied with Mu Gui Fei's repeated impertinence.

  Although Mu Gui Fei was deeply favored by him, he would not offend the Imperial Physicians for a woman!

  There's an old saying: "When you're in a hurry, you'll trip over your own feet." This time, visiting relatives can only be considered as bad luck!

  Mu Gui Fei's body trembled, relying on Gao Tu's past affection for her, she wanted to open her mouth to plead for Mu Wu Shuang, but before the words came out, the man's stern voice sounded again.

  "Guards, take the imperial concubine away. Without My order, she is not allowed to step out of the palace a single step."

  Upon hearing this, two guards standing on either side of the palace stepped forward and respectfully bowed their fists, saying: "By your order!"

  Muguifei's body went limp, almost falling over. She stiffened her back and reluctantly bowed to Gaotu, saying: "Your subject withdraws."

  Her beautiful eyes were filled with pitiful tears, and when she lifted her head, she couldn't help but look at Gao Tu again. Seeing that Gao Tu had no reaction, she could only follow the two guards out of the grand hall...

  "Very well, I'll have someone bring Mu Wu Shuang over right away. Please wait for just a moment, Old Man Rong."

  Gao Tu smiled slightly, his tone no longer as sharp as before, but instead carried a hint of appeasement.

  Rong Lao grunted and ignored Gao Tu's friendly overture, haughtily turning his head to one side and chatting with Ning Lao.

  "This old man is really inconvenient with his legs and feet, unlike some people who sit down without knowing to give up their seat to the elderly."

  The old man's voice was tinged with dissatisfaction, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, causing Gao Tu to suddenly react and sternly scold Yunluo Feng: "Yunluo Feng, why haven't you given up your seat to Rong Lao yet?"

  The only ones sitting in the entire hall were him and Yunluo Qing. Therefore, Gao Tu determined that the person in Rong Lao's mouth was Yunluo Qing.

  Upon hearing this, Yunluo's lips curled up and his charming eyes swept towards Gaotu, saying with a hint of a smile: "Are you sure that Rong Lao wanted me to give up my seat?"

  "Who else could it be?" Gao Tu's face was stern, and he rebuked severely, "Yun Luo Feng, although you have saved the lives of the people in the medical pavilion, but after all, Rong Lao's status is here. You should still show respect to him and cannot rely on your past favors! Moreover, Rong Lao came to the imperial palace for you, you should yield your position to him."
