Chapter 261 A Werewolf

Xiao Yanli naturally felt the emperor's burning gaze, but he was more afraid that Lan Yan would say something unfavorable to him. He lowered his arms, and the wide cuffs covered most of his hands. The emperor could only vaguely see a few fingers. Lan Yan

did not look at his hands. She stared at Xiao Yanli, her eyes flickered, and there was a faint water color in her eyes, with a little unnoticeable sadness.

"May I ask, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, do you have a woman you like and are going to get married?"

While asking, Lan Yan's eyes were also staring at him.

She had been with Xiao Yanli for many years, and if he was lying, she could tell at a glance.

Except Jiang Zhiyu, no one expected her to ask such a question. Xiao Yanli was slightly startled and tried to keep a calm tone: "No."

He always knew that Lan Yan admired him, and he was her savior. She still had the poison he used to control her.

Therefore, Xiao Yanli never thought that she would betray him.

Jiang Zhiyu took a sip of tea.

[Love brain, love brain, it's going to betray us.]

The emperor and Xiao Lingyu were startled, and the next second, they heard Lan Yan say: "Your Majesty, what the sinner said before was instructed by her and the prince. The prince asked her to heal my injuries, and he deceived the sinner with the ring and led the sinner to accuse the sixth prince!"

Emperor: "..."

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

Jiang Zhiyu: "!!!"

[No, what does it have to do with me?]

[You kid. 】

Xiao Yanli breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not help but frown.

What happened?

Why did the emperor and the prince react so calmly to Lan Yan's betrayal? Even Jiang Zhiyu, who was standing next to them, reacted more violently than them.

The emperor took a deep breath: "Why can a ring lead you to accuse the Sixth Prince?"

Lan Yan choked up: "When I was young, I was kidnapped by bandits by mistake. The Sixth Prince was ordered to suppress the bandits and saved my life. Since then, I have secretly admired the Sixth Prince, but I know my identity is different and I have never told the Sixth Prince..."

"That day in the hunting ground, I was not entrusted by anyone to hold Mr. Lu. I pretended to be a palace lady just to take a look at the Sixth Prince. I identified Miss Jiang that day because I saw it with my own eyes."

Lan Yan's eyelashes drooped, and her extremely thin body after being tortured looked really pitiful.

But before they could feel pity, a lazy and soft voice came over.

"Nonsense, not a single word you said is true."

Xiao Yanli's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he had a bad premonition. He didn't care about anything and said in a stern voice: "Father hasn't spoken yet, how can you interrupt!"

The emperor raised his eyes and warned in a low voice: "Sixth Brother, why are you so anxious? Let Zhiyu finish her words. I haven't spoken yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

A drop of cold sweat slid down Xiao Yanli's forehead: "Your son just saw that she was impolite..."

The emperor was too lazy to listen to his explanation, raised his hand to signal him to be silent, looked at Jiang Zhiyu, and his tone softened many times: "Zhiyu, continue."

"Her real name is Zheng Xue. Like Liu Jie, she is from a small village in the Jiangnan area. After her parents died when she was young, she followed Liu Jie to learn martial arts and made a living by selling her skills."

"At that time, the emperor was on a southern tour, and the Sixth Prince was not yet stupid. One day, the Sixth Prince threw away his guards and happened to run into Lan Yan who was being bullied. So he stepped forward and saved her life, and gave her enough money to save Liu Jie's life."

In an instant, Lan Yan's whole body tensed up like a stone, and her heart sank as if it was filled with cold lead.

She tried her best to suppress the shock in her heart.

Why? Why did she know this so clearly? !

Xiao Yanli's palms were full of cold sweat. Lan Yan would not tell them all these things without reservation. Jiang Zhiyu knew so much. Could it be that they had someone else in their hands? !

"After that, Lan Yan fell in love with him. After much inquiry, she found out the identity of the man who saved her that day. So she and Liu Jie came to Shengjing. However, as soon as she arrived, she was deceived into going to a brothel. Coincidentally, the Sixth Prince was there and saved her life again. So to repay the favor, the two of them went to the Sixth Prince."

Her word "coincidentally" was full of sarcasm.

The emperor's eyes on Xiao Yanli suddenly became meaningful.

Lan Yan's face was pale. If she hadn't been sitting in a wheelchair, Gu Ji would have collapsed to the ground.

The torture in the prison had almost made her mental breakdown. Now she had just met Xiao Yanli. Not long after she recovered, her life story was made public by Jiang Zhiyu. Seeing that Jiang Zhiyu was going to continue, Lan Yan was afraid that she would say something unfavorable to Xiao Yanli, so she closed her eyes and fainted.

In order to seek the truth, she rolled off the wheelchair and fell beside Xiao Yanli.

[Oh, you are courting death.]

The emperor frowned and saw that Jiang Zhiyu had no intention of moving, so he said, "Call the imperial physician."

Xiao Lingyu also stood up from the emperor's side and walked towards Lan Yan.

A fierce look flashed across Xiao Yanli's eyes. He gritted his teeth and before Xiao Lingyu came up, he picked up Lan Yan and pretended to put her on the wheelchair, but a flash of cold light flashed across his fingertips.

Lan Yan suddenly opened her eyes.

Xiao Yanli quickly pressed her mute point. Lan Yan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. After a few seconds, her eyes were filled with bloodshot and her body twitched violently.

Xiao Lingyu: "!!!"

He took a step forward and just as he put his hand on her neck, he saw Lan Yan twitched violently and her head tilted down weakly.

It seemed that she had died.

Xiao Lingyu paused and looked at Xiao Yanli with a gloomy face.

Xiao Yanli seemed to be greatly frightened. After throwing Lan Yan away, he looked at the emperor in panic: "Father, her, and your son, it was not your son who did it!"

He could not speak clearly, and looked extremely scared.

The emperor's face was covered with a layer of cold frost, which was extremely ugly.

Now, he would not believe what Xiao Yanli said.

However, this is the Golden Palace! In front of him, he actually dared to take action...

[As expected of a werewolf who can become an emperor in the future. 】

【A little more than the word ruthless.】

Jiang Zhiyu knew that Lan Yan would die. No matter whether she turned against him or not, Xiao Yanli would not keep her any longer.

If Lan Yan did not turn against him, she would still have some value, and he could still save her.

But not only did she turn against him, she also wanted to splash dirty water on him...

Jiang Zhiyu sighed faintly.

【I gave you a chance but you were useless.】

The emperor was silent for a long while, and suddenly asked: "Then where is Liu Jie?"

When Jiang Zhiyu mentioned Liu Jie just now, Xiao Yanli had thought of a countermeasure, so he said without hesitation: "Replying to your father, I have only seen Liu Jie when I met Lan Yan. As for where he is, I don't know."
