Sure enough, the results of the investigation came out soon, and the guard who was previously arranged by Xu Wanyu to poison was also caught.

Xu Wanyu looked at the scene in front of her, feeling anxious and angry, and denied it repeatedly.

The King of Ningguo looked at Xu Wanyu with a gloomy face and said, "No matter who you two are, I have not investigated your origins. Now, you are actually doing such a terrible thing in my palace. Are you trying to drag Ningguo into the struggle of Shangyuan?"

Xu Wanqing and Xu Wanyu were both panicked, "No, no."

"Xu Wanyu, why did you poison me?"

Xu Wanyu's face turned pale, and after a long time she stammered, "I, I, I just saw that Xu Wanqing was not a good person, so..."

Before she finished speaking, she thought of the way the King of Ningguo had addressed her just now, and she immediately lowered her head, wishing she could shrink to the ground.

"I have always been kind to others, so you two are deliberately teasing me, aren't you?"

"No, no."

Xu Wanqing looked at him with an even more anxious expression, "Uncle, it's not like that, it's not like that."

"What was that about? Humph! Now it seems that you two came to Ningguo for other purposes. Tell me, what is it?"

Xu Wanqing lowered her head, she couldn't let anyone recognize her purpose.

At this moment, the King of Ningguo has clearly seen through their identities. If she brings it up again, it will definitely be considered that she wants him to intervene in the struggle in Shangyuan.

After thinking for a while, she slowly raised her head, tears on her face, "Uncle, I was abducted by the Crown Prince of Shangyuan. Now, I just want to have a place to stay with my husband. Please don't drive us away. If we go back, the Crown Prince of Shangyuan will definitely kill us."

Xu Wanyu looked disdainful, "When did His Highness force you to take him away? It's clearly you who are shameless and pester His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Wanyu's words made Xu Wanqing cry even harder. "You are the Crown Prince's Consort, so of course you listen to the Crown Prince. You came here this time, probably to drag Ningguo into the water!"

Xu Wanyu then realized that she had been too anxious and said the wrong thing, so she said, "You are wrong. I came here for Wanyan. Now Wanyan is the Princess of Chen, and she has a close relationship with the Prince of Chen. As her elder sister, I am exploring the way for her."

Thinking of Xu Wanyan, Xu Wanqing's eyes showed a bit more hatred. She was not convinced. Why could that damn girl be favored by King Chen?

Impossible, impossible!

"you......"

"Okay, stop talking."

"Come here, take these two away and give them fifty lashes each!"

"What?"

"No, you can't hit me. I'm the Consort of the Shangyuan Crown Prince. If you hit me, do you want to start a war between our two countries?"

Xu Wanyu knew that her identity had been discovered and she could no longer count on Ningguo's help. Now, she no longer had the same flattery as before, and her eyes were full of gloom when she looked at the King of Ningguo.

"I will fight today. I want to see what Prince Shangyuan can do to me? What can he do to Ningguo?"

"you......"

Amid Xu Wanyu's shouting, several guards came up and carried her out.

Xu Wanqing saw that another wave was coming and her palms were sweating. She couldn't be beaten, otherwise, not only the baby in her belly would be in danger, but even her life would be in danger.

After thinking for a while, her face filled with sorrow, she pleaded bitterly, "Your Majesty, I'm pregnant for several months now. If I receive such a severe punishment, I won't be able to keep the child. How will I explain this to my husband and my recently deceased mother-in-law?"

The Ningguo monarch remained calm and asked, "Do you know what the consequences of deceiving me are?"

Xu Wanqing nodded. "I know I'm wrong. Please spare my life for the sake of our over ten years of sisterhood!"

The Ningguo monarch squinted his eyes for a long time, then said: "My words are golden, and it is not what you want. I can spare you the punishment..."

Hearing this, Xu Wanqing burst into tears of joy and quickly lay down to express her gratitude.

"Although you won't be punished with a beating, that doesn't mean I forgive you. I will arrange for someone to take you and your wife back to Shangyuan, all the way... on foot."

Xu Wanqing didn't understand what he meant and looked confused.

The Ningguo monarch sneered, "Do you think I don't know about your conspiracy? I just didn't expose it because I wanted to see what tricks you were playing. However, now it seems that you are nothing but a fool. In that case, follow the guards and set off!"

The blood drained from Xu Wanqing's face as she stared straight at the King of Ning.

Suddenly, she pulled out a hairpin from her head and rushed towards the King of Ningguo.

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I won't let you help me, if you don't help me, you will die!"

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor, protect the emperor."

“…”

There was chaos in the hall for a while.

When everything quieted down, they found that Xu Wanqing had been pinned to the ground by the guards, with messy hair and blood at the corner of her mouth.

"How dare you, Xu Wanqing, to assassinate the Emperor? Drag me out and chop me off!"

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Prince Ningguo waved his hand.

A hint of confusion flashed across Xu Wanqing's eyes, but she was even more resentful, resentful that she had not succeeded just now.

"Your Majesty, this female assassin must not be allowed to live. She is a disaster. She must be killed."

The eunuch's words were very sincere and had frightened him just now.

The Ningguo monarch waved his hand and said, "You, go down and drink some calming soup. I know what's going on."

The eunuch sighed. He had followed the emperor all his life and valued the emperor's life more than his own.

But the emperor has his own ideas, what can he do?

"Someone, break Xu Wanqing's legs!"

A majestic and deep voice sounded, and the guard beside him beat Xu Wanqing's legs without saying a word.

"Ah..., help, help!"

The sticks hit Xu Wanqing's legs mercilessly like raindrops, and her screams continued for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the assassin is unconscious!"

"Follow my instructions, send Xu Wanqing and Lu Mingxuan back to Shangyuan. No cars or horses allowed, you must walk back!

"yes!"

When the guards dragged the unconscious Xu Wanqing away, the old eunuch finally wiped away his cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, why not just kill this assassin directly? Why leave him with trouble later?"

The Ningguo monarch laughed, "What kind of trouble is this? It's just for that girl. That girl won't leave me with any trouble."

The old eunuch was helpless and sighed, hoping that Xu Wanqing would die on the road.

"Wanqing, Wanqing, what's wrong with you?"

"What are you doing..."

Looking at the cold guards and the unconscious Xu Wanqing, Lu Mingxuan panicked. He felt that something bad was going to happen.

"The Emperor has ordered that the two of you depart immediately. Leave Ningguo now and walk back to Shangyuan."

"W-what?"

Lu Mingxuan thought he had misheard. Xu Wanqing was clearly getting rid of Xu Wanyu, so how could this happen?
