After the tiger fell, it took a while before the guards dared to approach it.
They poked the tiger with their swords, and the tiger closed its eyes and lay there motionless. Only then did they believe that the tiger had been subdued.
"The little princess is so awesome. She subdued the tiger by herself." A guard couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the tiger's roar just now scared me so much that I didn't dare to move, for fear that it would rush over and bite me."
"She is worthy of being the lucky star of our Nanzhao Kingdom. With the little princess here, our country will get better and better.
Mu Nanyan's movements were so fast that they didn't see the pill in her hand clearly. They thought that Menghu had exhausted his strength and finally fell down.
Hearing the praise from people around her, Mu Nanyan smiled indifferently.
Subduing a tiger is just a piece of cake for her. They have never seen her taming the divine beast. Those disobedient divine beasts are more ferocious.
[These are all trivial matters. Luckily, I prepared pills in advance. With this potion, you only need one pill and it will faint immediately.]
The tiger has been subdued. The key now is to find General Ling of Ao State and catch the person who let them in.
The queen took advantage of the confusion and hid behind a pillar.
Now that the situation has stabilized, she feels disdainful when she hears people praising Mu Nanyan.
She looked at the cage and thought of her son, and suddenly a wave of heartache came over her.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to find Yoona's head in the cage." The Queen moved to Emperor Hui's side and asked anxiously.
Emperor Hui gave the guard a hint, and the guard searched in the cage for a long time and finally found the unrecognizable head.
He placed the bloody head in front of Emperor Hui. When the queen smelled the blood, she almost couldn't breathe.
"Your Majesty, this is the head." The guard looked at the head with a serious face.
The queen covered her face, as if she didn't want to take another look.
"Empress, is this my eldest brother's head? As his mother, you should be able to recognize that it is his head, right?" Mu Nanyan asked her with her head tilted.
When Mu Nanyan mentioned this, the Queen took a quick glance and quickly shifted her gaze.
Her face was as pale as paper, and she smiled miserably: "Little Princess, how could you do this? Isn't this just rubbing salt into my wounds?"
"Yoon-ah is also your royal brother, how can you be so vicious." As she said this, she picked up the silk scarf and wiped away her tears silently.
Humph, Mu Nanyan, you bitch, since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish and let everyone think that you are a vicious person.
[Eh, it seems the Queen is desperate and wants others to misunderstand me as a vicious person.]
[If I were you, instead of slandering me, I would rather find the real murderer, that general, as soon as possible.]
Mu Nanyan glanced at the queen and ruthlessly fought back at the dirty water she threw at her.
"My Queen, I understand how you feel, but you can't slander me without any reason."
"If I were you, I would immediately arrest General Ling and torture him to find out if this head is my brother's."
"This bloody mess, no one can recognize it, only the real murderer can know."
Emperor Hui glared at the queen coldly and said in a stern tone, "Queen, Yan'er is right."
"I know you are in pain. I am also in pain after losing Yun'er. The most important thing now is to catch Ling Yi."
"You are tired today, go to rest early, and leave the rest to me."
Seeing that Emperor Hui wanted to send her away, the Queen was anxious, "Your Majesty, I must find the bad guy who killed Yuner."
Emperor Hui knew the Queen's temper and knew that she would never give up until she achieved her goal, so he let her do what she wanted.
Mu Nanyan held her chin with her hand, thinking about where Ling Yi was hiding.
"Dad, I guess Ling Yi must be hiding in the dark, watching this good show."
A man like him must be very conceited, thinking that it would be difficult to find him in such a big palace.
“He has been hanging around in military camps for many years, and there is a strong smell of blood on his body. We can find him quickly by just taking a dog to search.
Emperor Hui raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and ordered the secret guards: "You guys, follow the little princess' instructions and search the area carefully. Make sure to find Ling Yi."
After receiving Emperor Hui's order, the guards searched everywhere in the palace.
Just as Mu Nanyan said, Ling Yi was hiding not far away. He heard Emperor Hui's voice and guessed that they would come to find him.
The guards he brought with him had already run away during the chaos, waiting to join forces with him from inside and outside.
And he was confident that he could take the opportunity to sneak out.
But he didn't know that Mu Nanyan had already seen through his tricks.
He looked around and saw no one coming. Just as he was crouching and trying to sneak out, a dog barking sound approached quickly.
"So you are really here." The guards surrounded him with a group of dogs.
Ling Yi said contemptuously: "How dare you, a group of you, stop this general?"
He drew out a sword, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, and rushed forward.
The guards did not dare to underestimate him and were very careful in dealing with Ling Yi.
Ling Yi's murderous intent was evident, and those guards were no match for him.
Just as he was about to escape, suddenly, his leg was hit by a stone and he staggered.
"Bah, who on earth is hurting me?" He looked around but didn't see anyone.
In a flash, the guards took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed his thigh with a knife. With the combined efforts of everyone, they finally caught him.
They brought Ling Yi before Emperor Hui and gave him a hard kick.
"Just keep quiet."
Ling Yi's leg was injured and he fell to his knees without noticing.
Emperor Hui sat on a high seat, looking at the embarrassed Ling Yi below with a gloomy expression.
"Ling Yi, I advise you to confess. Is the head in the cage Yuner's?"
"If I recruit you, I will suffer less."
Ling Yi raised his head and said sarcastically: "The Emperor of Nanzhao doesn't even know what his own son looks like?"
The guards beside him couldn't stand him and tried to press his head down hard, but they couldn't do it.
Ling Yi glared at the guard fiercely. The guard felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake and felt a little frightened.
Perhaps Ling Yi felt that he still had bargaining chips in his hand, so he said nonchalantly: "The eldest prince, his head is being pickled in salt water by this general."
These words made everyone present tremble, the method was too cruel.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to bring Yun'er back immediately. I can't bear it any longer." Upon learning that Mu Qingyun died so tragically, the Queen fainted while crying.
As a last resort, Emperor Hui had to temporarily stop the interrogation and put Ling Yi in jail first.
"Someone, call the imperial physician quickly." Emperor Hui called the eunuch and sent the queen back to Kunning Palace.
After a while, the guard reported the latest situation to him.
"Your Majesty, I have caught the thief who let Ling Yi into the palace. It's him." As he said this, he threw a person to the ground.
The man was as thin as a stick. When he saw Emperor Hui's gaze, he lowered his head and cried, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I don't know any generals at all. Please investigate clearly."
