Eunuch Xia was also startled and shouted in a shrill voice, "Protect the Emperor!"
Behind her, the Imperial Guards rushed forward, twisted Qin Manwu's hands as she was kicked to the ground, and held swords to her neck with a clang.
Eunuch Xia glanced at Qin Manwu, not recognizing her as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. He waved his hand and ordered the Imperial Guards, "Take this assassin away and interrogate her properly."
Qin Manwu was still in a daze, her chest aching terribly. By the time she came to her senses, the assassin had already been pinned on her head!
Throughout history, assassins have never met a good end. The ten most cruel tortures, including slow slicing, flashed through Qin Manwu's mind. She cried out, "Your Majesty, please understand! Your Majesty, I am not an assassin! I am the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, the third child in my family, and my name is Manwu..."
Qin Manwu raised her head, exposing her face and pitiful appearance to the emperor's eyes, hoping that he would take pity on her.
However, the emperor, who was high above and handsome like a demigod, never lowered his eyes, and did not even give Qin Manwu a glance.
Qin Manwu didn't want to be in trouble, so in her desperation, her mind raced, and she cried out at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, today I accompanied my mother to the palace to visit Consort Xian. I stayed in the palace to keep her company. My identity is completely innocent, please see the truth!"
As she spoke, Qin Manwu seemed to realize that the only person who could speak up for her now was Qin Ge. She turned her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Qin Ge anxiously, "Sister, please tell His Majesty that I'm not an assassin..."
When Qin Manwu called out "sister," it was with unprecedented sincerity.
But Qin Ge, "..."
Fuck your sister.
Qin Ge silently complained to himself.
However, Qin Manwu is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister and the descendant of a high-ranking official. Jun Chenbi cannot kill her, and Qin Manwu cannot die in Huayin Palace.
Although Prime Minister Qin was a cunning old fox, not a good father to the original owner of the body, nor a completely loyal subject, his talent was undeniable.
It's not advisable to make a life-or-death enemy of such a person.
Therefore, Qin Manwu cannot die.
I can't die here today, at least not today.
Qin Ge had no choice but to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, she is indeed my elder sister, not an assassin. I invited her to stay in the palace for a while."
Upon hearing this, the emperor, who had been nonchalant just moments before, changed his expression slightly. His long, beautiful phoenix eyes fixed on the 'woman' with her eyes lowered, and a hint of danger crept into his voice as he asked, "Did you let her stay in the palace?"
Qin Ge understood the warning in Jun Chenbi's words, which implied, "Try admitting something."
But he nodded and said, "That's right."
Jun Chenbi stared at Qin Ge, his eyes flickering with emotion.
Qin Ge could sense that the other party was a little angry, but he didn't know exactly why he was angry. Then he thought that the tyrant's personality was unpredictable, and his anger might be without reason.
He wasn't afraid that the other party might kill him in a fit of anger.
Qin Ge experimented for a few days. Although he had never used incense before, he guessed that he had a special fragrance on his body that could alleviate Jun Chenbi's headache.
Therefore, Jun Chenbi would hold him while sleeping every night.
Until a substitute is found, as the 'medicine' used to treat the emperor's headaches, Qin Ge doesn't need to worry about being killed over trivial matters.
Under that dark and dangerous gaze, just when Qin Ge thought Jun Chenbi was about to fly into a rage and storm off, the Emperor spoke.
"Release them."
