exclaimed, "You... you couldn't be Xiao Yu Ge, could you" It couldn't be, the Xiao Yu Ge in his memory always wore a facade of being a little brat. There was no way he could connect this stunning bea...“See that Even Captain Li and his men couldn't dodge my hidden weapon. Sister and An Ling have no martial arts at all. If, as you say, I had already killed Aunt Lan, killing one is the same as killing two. Would I still have kept you around”

Only then did everyone understand Xiao Yuge's intention just now. Seeing the silver needle deeply embedded in the pillar, Li Ping only felt a chill down his neck. That concealed weapon just now, he indeed couldn't dodge it. Although his martial arts skills weren't top-notch, they weren't too bad either. Even he couldn't dodge it, so how could the weak female servants of Princess Guoan escape

At this point, everyone understood that there was likely more to this story than met the eye!

"Perhaps you were just too busy then" Xiao Yufu was still struggling, her main tactic was to smear Xiao Yuge.

“Shut up! It was you who had ulterior motives and deliberately framed my Queen!” Seeing Xiao Yufu still slander Ge’er, Qian Tingxuan was furious: “My Queen has been with me since last night until just now. We are newlyweds, deeply in love. Not only were our romantic moments interrupted by you, but we were also falsely accused of being the murderer and promoted to a 'hero' Rong Sheng, as the Prefect, you handle this matter yourself!” A barely perceptible sneer curled up at the corner of his lips. Ge’er softened her heart, hesitating to move against Xiao Yufu, so he wouldn't mind letting Xiao Yufu suffer a bit.

As expected, Rongsheng immediately regained his composure. He stood up in a panic, slammed his gavel down, and glared angrily at Xiao Yufu and her servant: "You dare, Xiao Yufu! You and your servant intentionally framed the Princess! Your crime deserves to be punished! Considering that you are ignorant first-time offenders, I sentence you both to forty lashes as a warning to others!"

“You dare! I am the holy maiden of Tianzhu, you dare to hit me!” Xiao Yufu’s heart skipped a beat, but she still wanted to argue logically. With forty lashes like that, she estimated it would take her at least ten or half a month to recover.

"A prince who breaks the law is treated like any commoner! Even if you are a holy maiden from Tianzhu, you broke the laws of our Lan Zhao nation. You will be punished according to our laws! Bring her down!" Rongsheng knew that offending a county princess at this moment was far better than offending a prince or a woman favored by the emperor.

Hearing the screams of Xiao Yufu and her servant from outside, Xiao Yuge shook her head secretly. She naturally knew that Qian Tingxuan was venting for her. Xiao Yufu probably never dreamed that her well-laid plans would come to naught this time. Hopefully, this time she could learn a lesson.

"Regarding your promotion, this king will truthfully report to the Emperor. As the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, you should remain clear-headed and fight for justice for the people. However, I never expected you to be so foolish and careless in your investigation. How many wrongful convictions have occurred under your watch Tomorrow, go before the Emperor yourself and plead guilty!" After Qian Tingxuan finished speaking, he embraced Xiao Yuge and left gracefully.

...Rongheng slumped to the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over..."

"Sir..." Li Ping on the side kindly wanted to step forward and help him up, but he was unexpectedly pushed away by him.

"Get out! You idiot! With the Prince right there, and you bring the Protector of the Nation back here, you've practically killed me!" Rong Sheng’s soul was already half gone.

"Master, I was just following orders back then..." Li Ping felt very wronged inside. He had been ordered to take someone, and if he hadn't, he would have lost his job.

"You... you were really killed by them!" Rongsheng slumped down, his whole body seemed lost.

“My lord, I have been to that dilapidated house. There were indeed bloodstains inside, but I did not see the so-called Lady Lan or the Princess Protector of the Country. It seems as if Princess Guoan must know something. It has always been said that the two princesses are at odds, and now it appears to be true. Just now, Princess Guoan seemed very resolute, and she didn't seem to be lying. I was thinking, perhaps we should investigate further...”

Before he could finish his words, he was berated with a torrent of insults: "You imbecile! You dare to investigate With this official hat on my head barely safe, you still want to investigate One is the Protectorate Princess and Duchess, the other is the National Security Princess and Celestial Maiden of Tianzhu. Which one can we afford to offend How did I end up with such a fool as you!"

Li Ping was scolded to the point of being covered in dog blood. For his own future, he had no choice but to listen to the elders and let go of this matter. However, now that he has punished the National Security County Lord, he doesn't know what awaits them next. It seems like they are really unlucky.

On the way back home, seeing Qianteng Xuan tightly pursed his lips, Xiao Yuge only thought he was angry about what just happened, so she took his arm: "It's okay, don't be angry. I already made her taste the bitterness, and she should be quiet for the next ten days or half a month."

"I'm not angry at them, I'm angry at myself. I promised you, six months, to take you out of this mess, but now that time has passed and I haven't kept my promise..."

“I didn’t blame you, anyway. Who knows what could happen in between Before Heaven's Path, each of us is insignificant.” Thinking of Heaven's Path, Xiao Yuge couldn't help but sigh: Damned Heaven's Path, it granted her a rebirth but wouldn't let her seek revenge. Then what was the meaning of her rebirth

"Little song, if one day I'm gone, you should quietly leave this place and go to a place where no one knows you. Never come back, okay"

He was never afraid of death. Over the years, he felt that for every year he lived, he had earned another year. But ever since he fell in love with her, he started to become cowardly. He was afraid that after his death, no one would protect her like he did. What if someone bullied her without him around He couldn't bear the thought of anyone harming the girl he held so dear.

“No! I won’t leave here either!” Xiao Yuge looked at him earnestly and stubbornly, “Qian Tingxuan, before I met you, my heart was full of hatred. I only wanted to drag them all down to hell with me. It was you who made me feel that there were still people in this world who loved and cherished me so much. My world shouldn’t only be filled with hate, but also your love. If you leave, I will turn back into that person who is consumed by hatred. Do you bear to see me become like that”

"No! I can't bear it!" Qianting hugged her tightly, her words only made his heart ache more. He had waited so long for her to accept him, how could he possibly push her back into the abyss

“So, Qian Tingxuan, for me, you have to live well!” For the first time, Xiao Yuge felt this pain. Perhaps because she was used to his pampering, she couldn't even imagine what she would do if her world truly didn't have him.

At this moment, she looked up at the sky and made a wish to heaven: if heaven would spare his life, she was willing to compromise with heaven and give up her revenge! they reached a safe place, Qian Tingxuan finally set her down: "Ge'er, I told you to stay out of that little girl's business. You can't do anything about it anyway. Besides, have you thought about th...
