Shui Qiannan looked at Hou Ziming again, his lips still curling into a sneer, ”Then what about the crown prince? Was it me who sent the assassins under the water to bite off more than they could chew? Those assassins kept saying that they took my money, so it has nothing to do with you at all?”

”Alright, then these are your own words. Remember every word you say.” Shui Qiannan smiled mysteriously as the unease that enveloped Hou Ziming and Shui Qianyu grew more and more intense.

Zuo Yi Yun nodded. From her current position, she could clearly hear the conversation inside. Since she couldn't prove that Hou Zi Ming had harmed her and her father, she could only identify Shui Qianyu as the only person left.

Everyone in the hall had their eyes fixed on the door of the hall. When Shui Qiannan appeared again, a thin and weak maidservant followed behind him.

”Shui Qiannan, why did you bring a maid up here?” Hou Ziming asked in displeasure. However, it was clear that Hou Ziming did not recognize that the young maid he spoke of was Zuo Yi Yun.

Shui Qiannan looked at them in amusement and said, ”This is not a maid.” Hearing Shui Qiannan's words, Hou Ziming and Shui Qianyu simultaneously went to see what the maidservant behind Shui Qiannan looked like.

Zuo Yi Yun then raised her head, her cold eyes shooting towards Shui Qianyu. Shui Qianyu was greatly alarmed, as she cried out 'ah' before falling to the ground. How could it be Zuo Yiyun? Wasn't she missing? How was she still alive?

Hou Ziming was also shocked. He didn't expect Shui Qinan to know where Zuo Yiyun was, and he even allowed her to revive Zuo Yiyun again. He had clearly told Butler Meng to give Zuo Yi Yun the strange fruit; he would definitely not wake up.

Zuo Yi Yun saw Hou Ziming and Shui Qianyu's expressions and sneered in his heart. Zuo Yi Yun took a step forward and knelt. ”Your subject's daughter, Zuo Yi Yun, pays her respects to Your Majesty.”

”You're okay?” the Emperor asked.

”Yes.” This subject's daughter has recovered, thanks to Miss Shui's help, this subject's daughter was able to recover completely. ” Zuo Yi Yun looked gratefully at Shui Qi Nan. Looking at the absent-minded Shui Qianyu, her eyes were filled with killing intent, ”Please make the decision on behalf of this emperor!”

”What grievances do you have?” The emperor looked at Zuo Yi Yun, who was dressed as a servant girl, and understood that Zuo Yi Yun had suddenly disappeared. It was Shui Qinan who had taken her away.

Surprisingly, the emperor didn't alarm his secret guard and instead looked at Shui Qiannan with a few more questions.

”My daughter was pushed into the lake by Shui Qianyu!” Zuo Yi Yun said angrily.

”Oh?” The Emperor said.

”That day, I helped her wipe her face with a handkerchief out of kindness, but she intentionally took off my handkerchief and led me to the side of the boat. When I was picking up the handkerchief, she pushed me into the lake. How infuriating!” Zuo Yi Yun said angrily.

”Shui Qianyu, do you have anything to say?” The emperor looked at Shui Qianyu who was sitting on the ground and asked coldly.

”No. ”No, it's not me. Second Miss Zuo must have remembered wrongly. How could it be me?” Shui Qianyu quickly stood up to explain.

”How could it be fake when I saw it with my own eyes?” Zuo Yi Yun quickly asked.

Shui Qiannan asked, ”When you were underwater, did you hear anyone say that they took my money to assassinate you?” Zuo Yi Yun shook her head and said with certainty, ”No.”
