Judging from their physique and attire, they look a lot like the burly skeleton warriors I encountered at the entrance to the secret realm. No wonder they were so fierce back then.
The man's voice gradually faded away, and the palace fell silent once more.
Xiao Tuo's face was pale. She couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, why not send someone to investigate before executing him so easily? If what he said is true, and he risked his life to run back to report the news but was executed, wouldn't that chill the hearts of many loyal and righteous people?"
Zuan replied calmly, "What he said can't be true. I believe the Queen, just as she believes me. We will never betray each other."
Are you kidding me? What's his relationship with Pei Mianman?
To some extent, they were just two passersby in this world, and only they were kindred spirits. How could they be misled by the local people? Not to mention that they were lovers who would share life and death.
He had been speculating about the dangers of this trial, including the possibility that someone might try to sow discord between the two of them since they were thousands of miles apart and communication was uninterrupted. After all, even a middle school student in his previous life knew the story of "many voices can melt metal and accumulated slander can destroy bones," so he had specifically reminded Pei Mianman of this before she set off.

"You...you knew everything." Xiao Tuo felt all her strength drained away, but for some reason, she didn't feel scared at all; instead, she felt a sense of relief.
“Yes, I knew from the beginning.” Zuan came to her side, looked down at her, and then picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Xiao Tuo finally realized what was happening and struggled desperately: "No, let me go!"
Zuan said coldly, "You've served me countless times during this period, and we've been inseparable every day. Why are you unwilling now?"
"That's different!" Xiao Tuo said with a hint of tears in her voice. Before, she could numb herself by thinking that she was carrying out a mission, all for the sake of her beloved's grand plan.
