Chapter 460 Cat and Mouse

As the Crown Princess took the lead in attacking Yumiko, Prince Yukawa and several royal families standing on the side of the prince began to blame Yumiko, asking her to explain the matter clearly. The Crown Princess even clamored that Yumiko would hand over the "outsider who participated in the poisoning".

Yumiko knew that the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have always been as powerful as fire. As long as there was a handle on her, it would definitely attract all-out attacks from the Prince's party, and even drag her father into the water.

However, even in the face of such great pressure, Yumiko was just silent and never said anything about Li Jiangnan that night.

Because of her character, she will not do anything that goes against her promises.

Yumiko knelt in front of many royal families, always lowering her head and keeping silent. Prince Yukawa saw this opportunity, slapped the table, and said sternly: "Yumiko, since you don't want to explain things clearly, don't blame me, the uncle, for being ruthless to you!"

"Come on, take her to prison and conduct a close scrutiny!"

As soon as he said this, the lobby was in an uproar.

Although the old emperor was unconscious, the affairs of the court at this time should be temporarily handled by His Highness the Crown Prince, the imprisonment of the royal family is still beyond the power of the crown prince.

After all, Yumiko is a royal princess, and all the elders of the royal family must decide through votes before Yumiko can be put under jail for review.

Yumiko's father, Prince Renji, stood up and protested with anger, "I don't agree with this!"

"Even if you are the prince, you have no right to review the royal family!"

The Crown Princess snorted coldly: "The current situation is special. His Majesty the Emperor is in the morning and evening. Only by letting Yumiko speak can we find out the entire poisoning incident."

"In order to catch the murderer behind the scenes, the most important thing is to trace the source of the murderer to find the antidote to His Majesty in order to detoxify His Majesty. All Yumiko must be imprisoned and subject to the review of the Uchigu Mansion."

"Bah!" Prince In-ji cursed excitedly: "Don't think that everyone is a fool!"

"The inner guard's mansion is full of your prince's mansion's gang members. As long as Yumiko is imprisoned, even if she is innocent, she will definitely be framed by you!"

"Prince Renzhi, please don't talk nonsense about things without evidence."

Prince Yuchuan was not angry and said sarcastically: "There are all personnel and affairs of the Inner Guard Office, both His Majesty and the ministers of various departments, according to the procedures. This palace has always been out of the matter, so how can the gangsters say?"

"You..." Facing the cunning Prince Yuchuan, Prince Inji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, brothers!"

Seeing them quarreling endlessly, the white-haired old emperor stopped them and said, "The Crown Princess was right just now. His Majesty's life is in danger. The most important thing at the moment is to find the murderer and then trace the source to find the antidote."

"From this point, Yumiko has to explain everything that night."

"Thank you, the Emperor." Prince Yuchuan and the Princess both bowed to the Emperor.

The old emperor waved his hand, "But what Renzhi said makes sense. Even if you are the prince of the East Palace, you have no right to examine Yumiko like you do to a prisoner."

Prince Yuchuan immediately said: "Uncle, if it is not a big deal, Yuchuan doesn't want to..."

"Okay, don't say it."

The old emperor waved his hand again to interrupt, then looked at Yumiko and said, "Yumiko, Grandpa San knows that you are a person who keeps your promises and has noble character, but now it is related to the safety of your biological grandfather, so you should clearly tell the events that happened that night and the related outsider in front of everyone."

Yumiko kneeled on the ground, just shook her head and lowered her head without saying a word.

The old emperor changed his face and said sternly: "What are you concerned about?"

"Did you really do something you dare not say as they said?"

Yumiko fell to the ground: "Please believe in Yumiko, Yumiko will never do anything to sorry for the royal family."

"The reason why Yumiko didn't say what happened that night was not only keeping her promise, but also another reason."

"Please give Yumiko some time, Yumiko guarantees that within two days, there will inevitably be a way to detoxify Your Majesty. At that time, Yumiko apologizes to you and give an explanation to the elders."

After hearing this, the old emperor was angry, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say about her.

Several elders of the royal family whispered and discussed for a while, and the old emperor then stood up seriously and said, "Yumiko, we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself."

"But two days are too long, and we cannot bet on your safety."

"Only give you one day, after a day, if you fail to fulfill your promise, we will call all royal families to conduct public interrogation of you until you say everything..."

After hearing this, Yumiko was under even greater pressure. She only had one day. She didn't know if she could convince Li Jiangnan to come forward to treat her grandfather.

"Miss, that guy still refuses to admit that he is Li Jiangnan until now. Is there any way to force him to show his true form?"

Back in the wing room, Yumiko's eyebrows were deeply locked, looking very worried. Hanako saw it and brought a cup of tea thoughtfully.

Yumiko didn't speak, she frowned and thought deeply.

She recalled the details of Li Jiangnan's masked appearance in the sacred mountain last night, and she always doubted that Li Jiangnan should not appear in the sacred mountain for no reason, nor would she promise him for three days to make a quit for no reason.

With Yumiko's alertness, she quickly guessed that there must be something very important that Li Jiangnan appeared in the Kamiyama Forbidden Area, but Yumiko knew nothing about the specific reason.

"Miss, are you mistaken? Maybe that guy is just Li Lanjiang, not the bad guy Li Jiangnan?" Miss Huazi was very surprised. Why did she think that Li Lanjiang seemed to be normal, but the lady kept doubting him, Li Jiangnan, who had bullied the lady.

Yumiko subconsciously shook her head, "I can't read it wrong, Li Langjiang must be Li Jiangnan."

"Although he changed his appearance and his voice deliberately, his eyes and the faint fragrance of wild mint that is unique to the sacred mountains can prove that he is deceiving us, and he is Li Jiangnan."

Miss Hanako heard this and became energetic, "Since that's the case, Miss, we asked Colonel Zuo Bingwei to come forward and arrest him directly. We are not afraid that he will not admit it honestly, he is that bad guy!"

Yumiko said decisively: "No! It doesn't make any sense to do this..."

Her main purpose was to want Li Jiangnan to come forward and save her grandfather, but she also realized Li Jiangnan's attitude. Even Yumiko, the royal princess, offered the condition to marry him as a wife, but he was unwilling to accept it and still chose to pretend to be stupid, obviously not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

Moreover, sending guards to directly take hostile actions against Li Jiangnan also violated Yumiko's promise at that time. Yumiko would not do such a backlash.

"What should I do?"

"Miss, that guy has been playing cat and mouse games with you. You can't let that guy stay arrogant like this, right?" said Miss Hanako.
