The eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Xianyu, was like a spring breeze and a graceful orchid—refined, elegant, and, rarest of all, blessed with a compassionate heart.
A year ago, h...
The emperor took the document, opened it and took a look.
The Queen continued anxiously, "It clearly has his private seal on it, which shows that he personally gave the order. He is ruthless! Your Majesty, please do not let him deceive you again and wrongly accuse King Xuan!"
Su Yan's face turned pale and he looked at Xie Xianyu in horror.
Xie Xianyu frowned slightly. He had a private seal?
He turned to look at Wanruo, who looked at him innocently.
The emperor's face gradually became ugly, and the queen's eyes lit up, and she felt a faint sense of hope.
But who would have thought that the next moment, the emperor would throw the memorial directly into the queen's face.
"How dare you! Do you really think I'm dying, that my eyes are so dim I can't even tell the difference?"
The queen's hair was all messed up after being hit. She looked at the emperor in panic and didn't dare to utter a word.
The emperor got angry for a moment and started coughing again. The eunuch immediately stepped forward and patted his back to calm him down: "Your Majesty, calm down! Take care of your health!"
The emperor took a long time to calm down, then pointed at the empress's nose and cursed, "I thought you would reflect on yourself and behave yourself, but I never thought you would be so arrogant and use a fake seal to frame someone else!"
The queen's face turned pale and she was speechless: "W-what..."
"I know Xie Xianyu's private seal better than you! You are so stubborn and still dare to commit evil in the future. I am too lenient to you and King Xuan!"
"No, no, how is this possible..."
The queen wanted to explain herself anxiously, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw Xu Wanruo standing behind Xie Xianyu, and her face froze instantly.
How could she do this?! Shouldn't she have already escaped with Jingzhao?!
The queen seemed to have suffered a critical hit, and finally realized that she had been fooled!
The emperor, holding on to his frail body, sternly declared, "I hereby declare that the Prince of Qi shall be made Crown Prince. Prince Xuan is suspected of treason and his title shall be stripped from him. He shall be imprisoned in Prince Xuan's mansion and shall not be allowed to leave for life!"
The queen staggered and collapsed to the ground, her face pale.

The Northern Liang envoys have already left the capital, their carriages and horses galloping along the official road.
Jingzhao sat in the car, feeling uneasy and with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you wait for Miss Bai?"
Jingzhao's voice was cold: "She won't come."
He waited for her at the city gate for an hour, but she was late in coming. Xie Xianyu was still in the palace, unaware of the situation. It was naturally impossible that he had withheld the body. The only possibility was that she had tricked him.
If the one who wanted to escape with him was a fake, then the private seal he gave him yesterday must also be a fake.
But the private seal had already been sent to the palace and handed over to the Queen. By this time, the Queen must have used this fake seal as a document to provide evidence to the Emperor.
The consequences are predictable; King Xuan was doomed to failure.
But he was unable to turn the tide and reverse the situation, so he had to leave immediately. Once King Xuan was defeated, King Qi would inevitably take the throne, and Xie Xianyu would also take power. The Western Zhou Dynasty could no longer be saved.
"Your Highness, what do you mean? Could it be that she played a trick on Your Highness?!"
The attendant was also anxious for a moment: "If this is true, then after Xie Xianyu comes to power, if he attacks Your Highness, how can we escape from the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
Although they had left the capital, they were still on the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was not impossible to catch them, but it would take more effort than catching them in Yanjing City.
Jingzhao's face turned a bit ugly, and he couldn't calm down even when he closed his eyes. Since he came to Xizhou, nothing had gone to his liking. Instead, in the end, he had to depend on Xie Xianyu's mood to see whether he could leave.
He took a deep breath and said, "Disperse the troops, disguise them as a merchant caravan, and rush to the border immediately."
"yes!"
-
Xie Xianyu pulled Wanruo out of the hall before asking her, "Did you give me this seal?"
She was the only one who could enter his study.
Wan Ruo then told the truth: "A few days ago, after you entered the palace, a plague broke out in the capital, and the imperial guards were everywhere arresting people. Jing Zhao helped me twice."
Xie Xianyu's eyes darkened. How brave he was! He actually dared to provoke her!
"He said that the plague in the capital must have been man-made, and that the Imperial Guards were the biggest accomplices. You are the only one who can control the Imperial Guards. You are so ruthless, you should leave sooner rather than later. But if you want to leave, it would be more appropriate to use your private seal to forge a travel document."
Xie Xianyu's expression grew increasingly gloomy. This Jingzhao was truly a dreamer. He could frame him and take Xu Wanruo away at the same time.
"So you gave him a false seal."
"He plotted against me, so I naturally have to teach him a lesson."
Xie Xianyu's expression relaxed a little after hearing this, and she felt a little happier. It turned out that a hypocritical idiot like Jingzhao could not catch her eye.
He glared at her: "You don't believe him?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?"
