The Azure Wolf Emperor took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.
"Enough, it's my fault. This wedding banquet is off!"
"Thank you—Your Majesty for your grace!" Zhuang Chengze said loudly in gratitude.
"No, no..." Situ Xianjing roared in despair, "Zhuang Chengze, you are so heartless!"
"They say a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
Zhuang Chengze said coldly, "If you are virtuous and kind, it wouldn't hurt to marry you and keep you at home."
"But you are arrogant and domineering, and your heart is vicious. Who in this city doesn't know you, Situ Xianjing?"
"We have only been husband and wife for two hours, which doesn't count as a day."
Situ Xianjing stared fiercely at Zhuang Chengze with bloodshot eyes, a sweet, metallic taste rising in her throat.
"Pfft~"
She coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Take him away—" Emperor Canglang waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards immediately dragged the man away.
"Zhuang Chengze, you are heartless and ruthless, you deserve a terrible death—"
The Azure Wolf Emperor looked at Xiao Wanwan, who was sitting on the stone bench swinging her little feet, and began to examine her from head to toe.
An Lingfeng said, "Father, if Wanwan hadn't asked Situ Xianjing to summon the Azure Orchid Star God, we probably wouldn't have known that the Spirit Pearl was in the Situ family."
"Wanwan?" The Azure Wolf Emperor was curious how he knew the child's name.
An Lingfeng nodded slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Father, do you remember what I told you last year when I participated in the Holy Kingdom's Divine Summoning Conference? The gods summoned by the Xuan Yue Kingdom ultimately obeyed a child from the Holy Kingdom."
How could the Azure Wolf Emperor not know?
When the Crown Prince told him about this, he desperately wanted to see it and regretted not going with him.
Although there are five kingdoms standing in a tripartite balance among the nine provinces, the Yun'ao Kingdom and the Xuan Yue Kingdom are the most arrogant and disdainful of others.
He still vividly remembers how many times they were humiliated by the people of these two countries.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he froze in shock.
"You mean... that person is..." He pointed at Xiao Wanwan, "...and she's a child???"
His tone was filled with shock.
"Exactly!"
The Azure Wolf Emperor looked at Xiao Wanwan, who was currently fighting fiercely with the Heavenly Phoenix in her arms.
Its plump body shows that it is well-fed and pampered.
Moreover, he remembered that when they were at the Duke of Zhuang's mansion, the child had mentioned that the Prime Minister Situ was plotting a rebellion.
He walked up to Xiao Wanwan and glanced at the man beside her.
"Are you willing to come to the palace with me?"
Xiao Rui'an pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we've been out for quite some time today. We should go back now, otherwise my parents will worry."
Upon hearing this, the Azure Wolf Emperor nodded and did not force him.
But the ministers behind him were all shocked by Xiao Rui'an's rejection.
You know, not everyone can be personally invited to the palace by His Majesty. This child actually refused such a great honor?
The news about the Situ family quickly spread throughout the city.
When Ye Lanyin learned about the trouble that had happened to the Situ family, she had a bad feeling and paced back and forth in the mansion, unable to sit still.
"No, my husband, I have to go and see."
Seeing him like this, the Regent took her hand and said, "Madam, let me go with you."
She was unfamiliar with the land of Canglang, and if something happened, the children might blame her.
Over the years, Ye Lanyin raised his children one by one. Although the children didn't say it, he knew that in their hearts, Ye Lanyin was the most important person.
As a negligent father, he can only be ranked last.
This is why the Regent wanted to kill Lin Dehong.
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have broken up with Ye Lanyin.
"good……"
"Father, Mother, we're back."
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Xiao Rui'an walked in from the doorway with Xiao Chengyun, Xiao Wanwan, and Yao Qianshu.
"Ruian, why did it take you so long to get back? I hope nothing bad happened."
As soon as Ye Lanyin saw them, she immediately ran up and took Xiao Wanwan from Xiao Rui'an's arms.
Xiao Rui'an placed his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, saying, "It's nothing, Mother, you don't need to worry..."
"Mother, that wicked woman has been arrested..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xiao Rui'an intended to gloss over the day's events, but he forgot that he had a very 'well-behaved' younger sister by his side ever since he scolded her.
Xiao Rui'an felt awkward for a moment.
Ye Lanyin: "I heard that the entire Situ clan was implicated and nine generations of relatives were executed. Did you go to the scene?"
“Yes.” Xiao Wanwan blinked.
[The wicked woman's father built an underground palace and even secretly made dragon robes, which His Majesty found out about.]
Oh, and they even stole the Spirit Pearl...
Ye Lanyin paused, "You went to see it? Did you say anything?"
Xiao Wanwan thought for a moment, then immediately covered her mouth, "I didn't say anything."
Yao Qianshu said weakly, "Aunt Ye, Wanwan didn't say anything, but she said a few words during the banquet."
Regent: "What did you say?"
Yao Qianshu: "They say that Prime Minister Situ made dragon robes and built palaces..."
"Snap!"
Ye Lanyin lost her grip on the handkerchief and it fell to the ground.
"So, that's how His Majesty found out?"
Shi Zai Ren: "Madam Ye, you really know how to have children. Wanwan's casual remark actually came true."
"I wish I had that ability..."
Ye Lanyin was terrified. Wanwan had a special ability, and if it were discovered, it would likely lead to her death.
Who knows about this?
“Everyone knows,” Shi Zairen said. “At the time, all the civil and military officials and the common people heard it.”
