Emperor Dong Ling interrupted with a cold snort.
"I killed a concubine who brought chaos to the palace and confused the royal bloodline. Even if the emperor came, he would not be able to find fault with me.
Stop being so mysterious here. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't talk nonsense."
Xue Lin forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I know you too well. You won't kill me. I am still useful to you.
I am the princess of Xiyue Kingdom, you can't just kill me!"
"The princess of Xiyue?" Emperor Dongling was secretly surprised, but did not show it on his face.
"For decades, we haven't had much interaction with the Western Yue Kingdom, let alone a marriage alliance. To save your life, you even made up a lie about being the Princess of Western Yue."
"I am really the Princess of Xiyue. For some reason, I was stranded in Dongling Kingdom and became the daughter of the Xue family." Xue Lin said as she took out the half jade pendant hidden on her body.
A few years ago, my father and mother came to Dongling to look for me, but they kept it secret because the matter involved too many people."
"I don't care whose daughter you are. As a concubine in my harem, if you do something wrong, you should be punished."
Emperor Dongling narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Lin.
"Besides, I married the daughter of the Xue family. You are just an adopted daughter. Now you are saying that you are the Princess of Xiyue. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Even if the Emperor of Xiyue came, he couldn't save you."
Emperor Dongling turned away.
Returning to the imperial study, Emperor Dongling paced back and forth a few times before shouting to the sky, "Someone come!"
A secret guard appeared and saluted: "Master!"
"Go to the General's Mansion, find General Nangong and his son, and bring Xue'er and her daughter to the palace immediately. Tell them that I have something extremely urgent to discuss.
Also, get the second one here too."
"yes!"
General's Mansion.
Nangong Honglie and others returned to the general's mansion, and the whole family gathered around when they heard the news.
"Ah, Jiuer is back!"
"I'm not used to Jiu'er not being at home. It's a lot quieter."
Nangong Jiu waved his arms and kicked his legs, grinning with his toothless mouth.
After being carried around among the adults, Xiao Wang squeezed forward, bit Nangong Jiu's clothes, put him on his back, and trotted around the garden.
Chu Ruoyan laughed: "When Jiu'er is not at home, Xiao Wang ignores us and just stays in Ruixue Courtyard without going out. We are afraid that he will get sick from boredom.
As soon as I heard you were back, I ran faster than anyone else."
Xu Feiyan smiled and nodded. "It's snowing, and the weather is a bit cold. I made shoes and clothes for Xiao Wang, and they're almost finished. I wonder if he can wear them."
Nangong Yunxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Wang shouldn't need to wear shoes, right?"
"You have to wear it! Xiao Wang always plays with the children in the yard, and their little feet are always on the ground. It's so cold."
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law!" Nangong Yunxue felt warm in her heart. This is what people often say, "Love the house and love the dog." Because her family members love her and Jiuer, they also fall in love with Xiao Wang.
"Why are you being so polite? We are a family! By the way, Yuyao also made Jiuer a fur coat."
Zhou Yuyao smiled and patted Xu Feiyan: "It's just that sister-in-law is quick-witted.
My maternal relatives got two good furs, the fur is very soft, so I thought of making some clothes for Jiuer. When Jiuer wears them, she won’t be afraid of the cold in winter.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law!"
"Didn't my sister-in-law just say that? We are a family, there's no need to be polite.
Tell us quickly, what new things have happened since you entered the palace?"
Nangong Yunxue told everyone what happened in the palace honestly, and everyone was deeply moved.
"If it weren't for you and your daughter, we would have been beheaded today. We should go and see."
After Chu Ruoyan sighed, she began to curse towards the palace.
"That black-hearted guy, it's not enough that he harmed Xue'er once, he even wants to harm her a second time. Why don't you chop off his dog head as well?"
Nangong Yunxue quickly tried to comfort him, "Mother, don't be angry! He's now imprisoned in the clan house, being tortured with seventy-two instruments of torture. His life is worse than being beheaded."
Zhou Yuyao echoed: "Beheading is a one-shot death, no punishment, but being tortured is different.
I heard that very few people could survive the seventy-two torture instruments. He might even die during the torture one day."
"He is so inhumane, he deserves to be tortured." Chu Ruoyan said hatefully.
Nangong Yunxue smiled and comforted everyone: "The enemies who harmed us have been punished. I have no grudges in my heart anymore, and I will live happily for the rest of my life."
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Everyone nodded.
While they were chatting happily, the children on the other side saw Xiao Wang carrying Nangong Jiu for a stroll, so they followed behind, one dragging another, and finally Xiao Wang was dragging a group of children around the garden.
Suddenly, the garden was filled with children's cheerful laughter.
The adults stood not far away, watching with smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Xiao Wang was trotting towards Nangong Jiu while complaining, "Your Majesty, every time you go out you never bring Xiaoxian with you. I wonder if Xiaoxian will be worried?"
"The Emperor's grandfather has already made an agreement with Mother to bring you with him to the palace."
"Really? You must keep your word!"
"When did this emperor stop keeping his word?"
Xiao Wang shut his mouth obediently.
The sound of children's laughter drifted into the front yard.
Nangong Honglie and his son, who were discussing something in the study, were about to go to the back garden to join in the fun.
Here, a secret guard appeared: "Master, a secret guard beside the emperor has arrived."
Nangong Honglie's heart tightened, something must have happened again.
"Please ask him to come in."
Soon, the secret guard came in with his men.
The man clasped his fists and saluted, "General Nangong, the master wants you, Lord Nangong, Madam Xue, and Princess Dingguo to come to the palace immediately. He said there is something extremely urgent to discuss."
