You...you actually know what I'm thinking?! My mind exploded with a buzz, like hundreds of bees buzzing in my head, and for a moment I forgot to react.

Li Heng saw me standing there in a daze, thinking that I was frightened and stupid, and the sneer on his face became even more intense: "What? Are you afraid now? Aren't you very capable? Huh?"

I came to my senses and secretly cried out in my heart, it's over, it's over, I'm completely screwed! When did this old fox find out that I can hear my voice? Has he been acting all along?

No! I can't just give up like this!

I suppressed my fear, tried to look calmer, and then forced a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, are you kidding? I am very timid. How could I dare to do anything to deceive you?"

"You still dare to be stubborn!" Li Heng said, and the pressure on his hands became more severe. "Lin Qingya, do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down..." I gasped in pain, but didn't dare to show it too obviously, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what you said..."

"You!" Li Heng became even angrier when he saw that I was still trying to argue. He pushed me away violently. I staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty..." I steadied myself, raised my head and looked at you pitifully, but my mind was quickly thinking of a countermeasure.

In this situation, I can't admit it even if I'm beaten to death! Otherwise, based on my violent temper of "executing all nine generations of my clan", I'm going to end my life here!

"Lin Qingya, I'm going to ask you one last time," Li Heng looked down at me, his eyes so cold that they seemed to freeze me, "Do you admit it or not?"

Admit what? Admit it, you idiot!

I was madly complaining in my heart, but I had to pretend to be innocent on the outside: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what you are talking about. What do you want me to admit?"

"Good! Very good!" Li Heng laughed in anger, turned around abruptly, and shouted at the guards beside him, "Come here! Capture Lin Qingya for me!"

"Yes!" The guards heard it and immediately came forward to surround me.

My heart skipped a beat. This was completely over! It looked like this old fox was determined to force me to admit it today!

What to do? What to do?

Just when I was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pot, a gentle voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Brother Huang, wait a minute!"

I turned around and saw that it was Li Rui! Why are you here?

I saw 놛 quickly walked up to Li Heng, bowed and said: "Royal brother, Qingya is just a woman, why do you have to argue with her?"

"Shut up!" Li Heng shouted angrily, "You have no right to speak here!"

"Brother, please calm down," Li Rui said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I just think that this matter is of great importance, and it would be better for you to investigate it thoroughly to avoid wrongly accusing a good person."

"Investigate? Do we still need to investigate?" Li Heng pointed at me and said angrily, "Isn't there solid evidence for what she did?"

"Brother, what you see is not necessarily true, and what you hear is not necessarily true," Li Rui said calmly, "Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, anyone may be innocent. I believe that Qingya is not the kind of person who would deceive you."

"You..." Li Heng was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

I stood aside, watching Li Rui speak for me, and suddenly a warm current surged in my heart.

Li Rui, thank you...

"Royal brother," Li Rui paused, and then said, "How about this, I am willing to guarantee with my life that Qingya will never do anything to harm you. If you still won't let her go, I will take her back to the palace and take care of her myself. How about that?"

Li Heng remained silent, staring at Li Rui closely, his eyes complicated and difficult to read.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone breathed cautiously.

At this moment, I suddenly felt dizzy, my eyes went dark, and I lost consciousness...
