Their futures were ruined by these two people.

Long Rui smirked and said, "And then what?"

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, ’and then’?"

Long Rui: "Didn’t the Fourth Prince accuse me of framing you? There must be evidence for a frame-up!"

The Fourth Prince was suddenly at a loss for words; he really hadn’t thought of that: "I... I...!"

Long Rui frowned and said, "What’s wrong? Nothing to say? You don’t have any evidence, but I do."

The Fourth Prince glared fiercely at Long Rui and Xuexue, sneering, "And what evidence do you have to say that I’m the murderous demon? Just relying on the War Prince’s reputation and the sharp tongue of the Princess Consort of War Prince? Ridiculous."

Xuexue laughed, "Just look at the Fourth Prince’s current strange appearance—you’re a monster. If you don’t believe me, ask the people present; what part of you doesn’t look like a monster? What part doesn’t look like a murderous demon? The reality speaks for itself, do we even need to say it?"

The Fourth Prince was so angry that he glared, "You... you...!"

Xuexue mimicked him, infuriatingly said, "You, you, you, what? Aren’t you done yet?"

Suddenly, the Fourth Prince stomped his foot like a woman, speaking in a peculiar tone, "It was because you drugged me that I became this androgynous thing."

Finally, he whined to the Emperor, "Imperial Father, you must do justice for your son."

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spine; oh my goodness, how could the Fourth Prince, a grown man, become such a sissy? It was terrifying.

The Emperor also shivered. How could a perfectly fine son change overnight to this neither-male-nor-female look?

The Emperor felt distressed.

Even though the Fourth Prince continuously denied being the murderous demon, everyone’s eyes were sharp. The Fourth Prince’s behavior and appearance definitely had something to do with this matter.

Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Fourth Prince, you can’t even distinguish your gender, and you dare say you’re normal?"

The Fourth Prince glared fiercely at Situ Xueer with his black and red eyes, regretting it immensely. This damned woman had ruined his plans every time; if only he had used her to practice martial arts earlier, this wouldn’t be happening now.

"Prince, there’s a monster, I’m scared."

Xuexue, with a look of panic, shrank her little head and hid behind Long Rui.

The Fourth Prince was infuriated by Xuexue’s actions. This damned woman fought him fiercely earlier without showing fear, but now with many people around, she pretended to be afraid, clearly doing it on purpose to make others think he’s the monster.

Although in fact, that’s how it was, but no one would ever admit to being a monster.

Long Rui protectively shielded her behind him, saying, "My dear, don’t be afraid. I will protect you."

The Fourth Prince was fuming inside. While he was facing a calamity, the two of them were showing off their affection. Was there no justice?

The Emperor was reluctant to believe that the Fourth Prince was the murderer and practiced evil cultivation, so he looked at Long Rui and asked, "Beloved Minister Long, is what Xuanxuan said true?"

If Long Rui dared to drug the Fourth Prince, he wouldn’t let him off either.

Long Rui, with a half-smile, asked, "Which matter is the Emperor referring to?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The Emperor’s expression seemed very awkward and difficult to articulate. Finally, he hesitantly said, "Xuanxuan said, Beloved Minister Long drugged him, that’s... that’s why he turned out like this, is that... true?"

Long Rui stepped forward to the Fourth Prince, pointed at his eyes, and coldly said, "Emperor, what drug in this world could make eyes grow back?"

The Emperor recalled that the Fourth Prince had told him a Divine Doctor healed him, so he said, "Xuanxuan was lucky to encounter a Divine Doctor, so his eyes were healed."

Next to him, Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh, "The Emperor is more naive than I am. What Divine Doctor in this world can regrow plucked-out eyes? I fear that’s only in theater."

Long Rui immediately shook his head and said, "No, the Emperor isn’t naive. There really is a way in this world to make plucked-out eyes grow back."
