"Stop!" Hongye, who was hiding in the dark, ran over in panic.
"Don't come over! Otherwise I will strangle her to death!" Zhao Huimin was like a frightened bird, and her whole mental state was a little crazy.
Seeing this, Hongye didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that she would accidentally provoke Zhao Huimin to take harsh action.
Her voice trembled as she threatened and coerced him, "Princess Huimin, please talk to us nicely if you have something to say. Don't get excited. Our princess is precious and noble. If anything happens to her, you won't be able to escape."
Zhao Huimin felt a little guilty.
She had acted rashly just now because she was blinded by anger. Now, she really didn't know how to end it.
While Zhao Huimin was distracted, Su Qiqi suddenly raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin on her head, gathering all her strength and preparing to stab Zhao Huimin.
At this moment, a cold dead branch came from a distance and pierced directly into Zhao Huimin's right hand.
"ah!"
Zhao Huimin covered her injured arm in pain, blood stained her clothes and dripped onto the ground.
"Princess!"
Hongye hurried forward to support Su Qiqi.
Su Qiqi coughed twice and subconsciously looked up, only to see a handsome and extraordinary man walking towards her not far away.
"Mo, Mo Yunchi?"
After many years, the man has grown taller and become more handsome, but there has not been much change between his eyebrows and eyes.
Therefore, Su Qiqi confirmed the other party's identity almost instantly.
"Why are you still as easy to bully as before? Are you not hurt?"
Mo Yunchi bent down and raised his hand, lifted Su Qiqi's chin, carefully checked Su Qiqi's injuries, and rubbed the red mark on Su Qiqi's neck.
His movements were gentle and his eyes were full of heartache.
Su Qiqi put the hairpin in her hand back on her head unnaturally: "Well, I'm fine, it's just quite scary. Luckily you came in time."
Seeing that Su Qiqi was fine, Mo Yunchi breathed a sigh of relief. He jokingly said, "In that case, you owe me a favor."
"Princess, how do we deal with this person?"
The secret guard took Zhao Huimin under control and asked Su Qiqi for her opinion.
Zhao Huimin panicked and cried for mercy, "Su Qiqi! It was all a misunderstanding! I, I just wanted to stop you. I just wanted to discuss cooperation with you! We come from the same place, why would we kill each other? Just consider it as a favor I owe you..."
"It's so noisy."
Su Qiqi looked at the secret guard impatiently and ordered, "Bring her to the palace. I want everyone to judge the situation and let the emperor decide how to deal with her."
"No, don't! Su Qiqi..."
Zhao Huimin struggled frantically, but the secret guard used his skill and tied her hands behind her back in a few seconds, making it impossible for her to escape.
//
Zhao Huimin, with her hands tied behind her back, was dragged and thrown into the hall by the secret guards.
The music of stringed instruments suddenly stopped, and the singers and dancers stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu quickly winked at the singers and dancers.
The singers and dancers bowed hurriedly and retreated.
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Huimin with scrutiny.
The envoy from Fufeng State was startled and his hands shook, causing the wine in the cup to spill out.
"Father, wuwuwu, Qiqi is so scared, Qiqi is in so much pain!"
Su Qiqi pinched herself quietly, then burst into tears with a "wow".
Without waiting for the emperor to ask in detail, she raised her chin, revealing her neck still covered in red marks, and cried, "Just now, this Princess Huimin asked me to go out, saying that she had something important to discuss. Then she suddenly grabbed my neck. If, if it weren't for Brother Yunchi's help, I'm afraid..."
Before she could finish her words, she started sobbing again.
"Quick, call the imperial physician!"
The empress dowager was extremely distressed. She asked someone to call the imperial physician, then stood up and walked towards Su Qiqi with a cane.
Su Qiqi threw herself directly into the Empress Dowager's arms: "Grandmother, wuwu, Qiqi almost didn't get to see you!"
"Don't cry, don't cry, the Empress Dowager is here. Oh my, you're hurt so badly..."
The Queen Mother felt as if her heart was being scratched, aching and painful. She bent down, hugged Su Qiqi tightly in her arms, and gently patted Su Qiqi's back to comfort her.
"This is a misunderstanding. I, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to discuss something with her! She didn't listen to me and she deliberately provoked me!"
Zhao Huimin explained haltingly, but her words were so dry and weak.
Lu Qingyuan slapped the table with a dull sound, which frightened everyone in the hall.
"Who do you think you are! Qiqi is the most honorable Princess Chaoyang of my Tianqi Kingdom! Why should she listen to you?"
"I, I...but I didn't mean to kill her..."
"Then why is there a red mark on Qiqi's neck? And why is your arm injured?"
Lu Qingyuan was so angry that she lifted her sleeves. If Shen Jiayan hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed up and beat Zhao Huimin to a pulp with her own hands.
Hongye knelt down and said, "I can testify! It was this Zhao Huimin who sent someone to lure the princess over. She had wild dreams of becoming the Crown Princess and even wanted the princess's help. When she refused, she threatened to strangle her to death!"
The secret guard also knelt down and said, "Indeed. At that time, Princess Huimin grabbed Princess Chaoyang's neck and she almost suffocated to death. Fortunately, Master Mo intervened in time and injured Princess Huimin, and Princess Chaoyang was finally saved."
Hearing this, Lu Qingyuan became even angrier.
She glared at Zhao Huimin coldly: "Now that we have the evidence, stop quibbling!"
“I, I…”
Zhao Huimin was so anxious that she couldn't speak. She looked at the Fufeng envoy helplessly, hoping for help.
However, at this time, the envoys from Fufeng State were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
