But how could the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom possibly believe the two of them?
Even if neither of them is guilty of any crime, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom will blame them for everything.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you two didn't kill the King of Mingyue Kingdom, why would their people report to me and ask me to hand you over?"
"It must have been the two of you who murdered the King of the Dark Moon Kingdom!"
"I sent you to the Dark Moon Kingdom to foster friendship between our two nations, not to kill people!"
"Now look what's happened to you! You've caused the death of a king, and now the entire country is demanding that I hand you over. If I don't, they might use this as a pretext to attack us!"
"The Kingdom of Dark Moon has wanted to fight us for a long time, and now you've conveniently given them an excuse! What do you have to say now?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze realized that they had been secretly murdered.
If they cannot find evidence that they did not murder the King of Mingyue, they will probably never be able to clear their name of this suspicion.
Their Great Zhou Kingdom is far away from the Mingyue Kingdom, and it would take a long time to travel back and forth. If they were to investigate clues, they would not know how many clues had already been erased.
Since those people dared to frame and plot against the two of them, they must have been absolutely certain of success.
Perhaps when we go to investigate, we'll only find evidence of their crimes.
Even if they didn't do it, after being framed, they can only take the blame.
These days, saying or explaining anything is of little use.
Qi Guze knew that the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom had long wanted to get rid of him, so no matter how much he explained, it would be useless, and he remained silent.
"Do you want to hand us over to the people of the Dark Moon Kingdom?"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom said, "Otherwise what? Do you want me to sacrifice the people of the entire nation?"
"Compared to the people of the nation, I can clearly distinguish which is more important, the two of you."
Qi Guze said, "Alright then, take us both away."
Xu Yuehuai was surprised to hear Qi Guze respond so readily, and she wondered what he was thinking.
He secretly took Xu Yuehuai's hand and gently scratched her palm.
Xu Yuehuai immediately understood that Qi Guze must have some other ideas.
Now we can only trust Qi Guze!
Since she chose Qi Guze, she will definitely stay with him to the end.
Xu Yuehuai then took Qi Guze's hand, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom also issued an order.
"Arrest those two first, throw them in jail, and send them to the Underworld Kingdom at a later date!"
Xu Yuehuai never expected that she would be sent back soon after leaving the Mingyue Kingdom, which she thought she would not return for a long time.
This really shows how unpredictable life can be!
Qi Guze protected Xu Yuehuai and prevented the armed guards from harming her.
Although the guards obeyed the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, they dared not neglect Qi Guze. Instead of arresting the two of them, they threatened them with their knives and sent them to prison.
After entering prison, Xu Yuehuai sighed.
"I really seem to have a knack for being in prison all my life. I've been in and out of prison several times in just a few short years!"
It's not just being imprisoned in one country; it's being imprisoned wherever you go!
She really knows how to find joy in hardship, showing no fear whatsoever.
Qi Guze admired Xu Yuehuai's fearless and always optimistic attitude in the face of danger.
He chuckled and said from the side, "Then I owe this to you for my trip to this prison."
"Don't worry, although we've been framed, I will definitely find evidence to prove our innocence!"
The students of Shan Gao Academy have been falsely accused of murdering the King of Mingyue Kingdom, which is no small matter.
Finding substantial evidence to prove one's innocence requires a great deal of effort.
Now they are imprisoned, hoping only that their lives will be better and that they will not be tortured by those people.
After all, there are many people in this Great Zhou who hold a grudge against Qi Guze.
Qi Guze offended too many people in the first half of his life and never imagined that he would end up like this.
If those people knew that Qi Guze had committed a crime and was imprisoned, they would definitely bribe the jailers to deal with Qi Guze properly.
However, Qi Guze has not been a pushover over the years; he has long since placed many of his own people in the palace.
When your enemies try to harm you, they will all be stopped.
The journey was smooth and unimpeded; no one was able to harm Qi Guze and his companions.
Qi Guze secretly went to great lengths to protect Xu Yuehuai, but Xu Yuehuai knew nothing about it.
They stayed in the prison for two or three days, and the food during those days was quite good.
"If I had known the food in the Great Zhou Kingdom's prisons was this good, I would have preferred to have been locked up here earlier," Xu Yuehuai said with a laugh while basking in the sun, clearly bored.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai with tender eyes, "I'm glad you're happy. Wherever you are, I'm willing to be with you."
Even with this imprisonment, as long as Xu Yuehuai is there, it feels like being on vacation.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Let's not. This prison is so damp and dark. Let's leave here as soon as possible."
Qi Guze added, "Okay, we can leave whenever you want."
He had already secretly contacted his people and had them deliver the message.
When the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom decides to send them to the Underworld Moon Kingdom, they will be able to find a way to leave at any time.
Several more days passed quickly, and Qi Guze's arrangements had already been made.
Someone spoke to the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, urging him to quickly send Qi Guze and the others to the Underworld Moon Kingdom.
The emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom was also worried that things might get complicated if he delayed, so he quickly arranged for someone to escort Qi Guze and his group away.
On that day, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were locked in a prison cart and escorted to the Underworld Moon Kingdom.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect we would actually come out. We haven't breathed fresh air for so many days, and it's actually a bit strange to be out here all of a sudden."
Looking up at the deep blue sky through the prison van, Xu Yuehuai suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated, as if she had come back to life.
Over the past few days, they have been thinking a lot, wondering who was framing them.
The person who framed them was most likely Maimaiti, or perhaps the fake Crown Prince Aqi in the palace!
Aside from those two, there are only those who secretly want war among the four kingdoms.
