"Xu Lingyi is still alive. Your Majesty, do you like Xu Lingyi?" Xie Huaixing asked in disbelief.
"Your Majesty is going to kill me because of her?"
Xie Huaixing looked up to observe the emperor's reaction.
The emperor did not deny it, so he understood everything.
Xie Huaixing clenched his fists. He never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of a woman.
"But what did Xu Lingyi say to you? I know she hates me for breaking off the engagement with her that day, embarrassing her and ruining her reputation. She wishes she could tear me into pieces."
"But Your Majesty, what she said is not necessarily true. You have always been wise and sage. How could you allow yourself to be exploited by a woman?"
The emperor frowned, "You said she hates you? To such an extent."
The emperor did not believe what Xie Huaixing said, but his statement was completely different from Xu Lingyi's.
Xu Lingyi said that she had admired Xie Huaixing since she was a child, and loved him to the core.
Xie Huaixing said that she wished he would die.
"Yes, when I broke off the engagement with her, it wasn't a happy one. She once said that one day, no matter what method she used, she would make sure I died a miserable death."
Xie Huaixing is a smart man after all.
He already knew that the emperor wanted to deal with him because of Xu Lingyi, so he knew where to start to make a breakthrough.
Your Majesty wanted to kill him because of Xu Lingyi only because his eyes were blinded by love.
Loveliness is the most unreliable thing. Your Majesty may turn love into hate.
So even if Xu Lingyi didn't say these words, he would only say that she did.
He would definitely make the emperor suspect Xu Lingyi in order to save his own life.
Besides, she really said it that day.
"Your Majesty, have you ever considered that she is only with Your Majesty to avenge me and use you to kill me?"
"I recall that your Majesty, your horse was startled and fell off the cliff. I almost fell off that cliff myself. At that time, she was still my fiancée. To save me, she fell into this abyss in my place."
"At that time, General Xu and I both thought that her body would be gone, but a few months later, she returned to the capital in good health."
Xie Huaixing didn't know what was at the bottom of the cliff. He just guessed that there might be a body of water underneath.
Xu Lingyi might be confident that no matter who it is or where they fall, they will be fine.
So she deliberately designed the emperor to be frightened and fall off the cliff.
"Your Majesty must have developed feelings for her in the past few months. Have you ever considered that your deep love for her might be a deliberate scheme on her part?"
