"Su Yingxue." Chu Mingyuan's voice deepened, carrying the authority of an emperor.
Su Yingxue immediately knelt and spoke earnestly, "Emperor, I have been wrongfully accused. I implore you to investigate this matter."
"Ye 'er mentioned that when Xiuwen was unconscious, he repeatedly claimed that you harmed him. Were you with Xiuwen just before the tiger attacked him?" Chu Mingyuan's deep gaze carried a sharp edge.
While staring at Su Yingxue, he exerted considerable pressure.
However, Su Yingxue maintained her straight posture while kneeling. "Emperor, it is true that I and the Third Prince rode into the forest together. But what does that prove? Does it mean that it was my fault that the tiger attacked the Third Prince instead of me?"
