This time, he kicked against an iron plate

rson in my brother's heart was my sister. From childhood to adulthood, my brother's love for my sister was unparalleled."Her words increased Chu Tianqi's guilt: "I admit, I took care of Fu'er more in..."I believe it, I really believe it!" Lan Aunt finally believed it. But what followed was a heart filled with guilt: "Second Miss, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"Aunt Lan, you don't have to feel guilty. Back then, if it weren't for you finding me at the Sanpo Temple, I wouldn't even know if I would be alive today. So, it's me who should be thanking you." Aunt Lan had taken on a new identity. For over ten years at Xiangfu, she lived as the legitimate daughter, something that would make many people envious and jealous.

"I..."

"Alright, let me pull the dagger out for you first. It's going to hurt a bit, just bear with it." Xiao Yuge had anticipated Xiao Yufei killing and silencing her mouth, so last night she went to find Lan Yi. Although Lan Yi was well-prepared, An Ling's stab was very deep and still wounded Lan Yi. While it wouldn't be fatal, if left untreated, she would bleed to death.

She laid Lan Yi flat on the bed and pulled open her clothes. Qian Tingxuan instinctively turned his back to avoid impropriety, Xiao Yuge's lips curled slightly: "Quite self-aware, isn't he"

"Ugh!" Even as Xiao Yuge drew out her dagger, Lan Yi's body still stiffened in shock. The excruciating pain made her cry out involuntarily.

Xiao Yuge hurriedly sealed the acupuncture points around her wound to prevent her from fainting due to excessive blood loss, and took out medicine to treat it.

"Second Miss, thank you..." Lan Yi showed a grateful and relieved smile as she drifted off to sleep.

After Xiao Yuge bandaged her wounds, she felt her pulse to make sure there was no danger to her life. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.

“Alright” Qiantingxu then turned around, glancing at Lan Yi on the bed. “Let’s leave her here for now. I’ve had people stationed around her; she’ll be fine. We need to go back quickly; things must be in chaos there.”

As three of the Twelve Calamities were present here, Lan Yi was naturally unharmed. He also secretly touched his forehead, estimating that even in their dreams, the Twelve Calamities wouldn't have thought that their mission would be to protect a woman completely unrelated to them.

"Okay, I'll have someone take care of her later." Xiao Yuge also knew that at this moment, her own mansion was probably in chaos. However, seeing Qian Tingxuan's calm demeanor, she estimated that he must have been prepared. Sure enough, with him around, she didn't even need to think when she went out.

"Why are you smiling" Qian Tingxuan saw her come out from there and kept a smile on his lips, he couldn't help but be curious.

"I was thinking, with you by my side, I feel like I don't have to do anything. You seem to have everything arranged perfectly, even on the wedding day, all I had to do was be the bride and not prepare anything." I feel like he's spoiled me into a giant baby.

Qian Tingxuan heard this, first a hearty laugh, then leaned closer to her, ambiguously said: "I'm so good, can I have some rewards tonight My bed warming and massage are all excellent..."

"Be serious," Xiao Yuge laughed and scolded, hitting his arm. But he pulled her back with a casual twist, grabbing her slender waist. She let out a cry of surprise before she could react, already being pulled towards him.

"There's no need to be so serious with your own little wife..." Qian Tingxuan finished, then lowered his head as if about to kiss her!

"Cough cough!" But at this moment, two inappropriate coughs came from the side.

Qian Tingxuan couldn't get close to her. His eyes turned visibly cold, and he pulled Xiao Yuge closer beside him. He raised his eyes to look at the person who had interrupted them, and that gaze was so intense that the person probably felt their heart pounding out of their chest.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The man, accompanied by several guards, recognized the prince at once. His heart pounded in his chest as he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Get out!" Qian TingXuan lightly pursed his thin lips, only letting out a single word that sent shivers down the spines of those present.

But those few people were duty-bound and had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue, “Your Highness, someone has accused the Princess of Huoguo of plotting to take another person’s life. I am Li Ping, an official from Shuntian Prefecture, and I have been ordered to arrest the princess and bring her to justice!”

“Presumptuous!” Upon hearing his beloved woman being slandered in such a manner, Qian TingXuan flew into a rage. With a kick, he sent the man flying several meters away: “You dare slander my wife I could have you killed right now!”

“Your Majesty, please be calm! This subordinate was merely following orders!” Li Ping ignored the pain in his body and quickly crawled over. “The mistress and servants of the Gu'an County claimed to have witnessed the Protectorate County Mistress killing the wet nurse named Lan Yi with their own eyes. This subordinate was ordered by Lord Rong to bring the Protectorate County Mistress back for questioning. Your Majesty, please be fair!” Just now he said they were arresting her, but now he used a different word. Indeed, before imperial power, one had to bow their head.

"My queen has always been by my side. When did she ever harm anyone This is simply outrageous!"

"Your Highness!" Just as Qian Tingxuan was about to get angry, Xiao Yuge timely pulled him back: "It seems something is amiss here. Why don't we go and see what they have to say" After all, there was no corpse or weapon, they couldn't do anything to her anyway. Let's just see how Xiao Yufu talks herself into trouble.

"They dare to slander you like this, this King will not let them off!" Qian Tingxuan's icy gaze slowly swept over the crowd. Everyone felt as if a cold blade had passed over their heads, and instinctively lowered their heads.

"Alright, don't get angry. It's nothing, you might as well just listen." Xiao Yuge smiled and held his hand. It was all just acting, there was no need to take it seriously.

"Alright, I'll do as you say." The man who had just been fierce as a wolf was now gentle as a lamb.

Li Ping wiped the sweat from his brow in secret, thankful to have escaped a disaster.

As expected, even the coldest man, when facing his beloved woman, becomes as soft as silk.

The Shuntian Prefecture's Magistrate, Rong Sheng, was taken aback when he realized Li Ping had also invited the Prince of Freedom. He nearly collapsed to the ground in fear: "This lowly official bows before Your Royal Highness!" In his heart, he bemoaned how Li Ping could have handled things this way, inviting the prince out of nowhere. Now, what was he to do

Li Ping was also a face of extreme innocence, catching the murderer actually caught the head of the princess. The king didn't directly kill him, it could be considered showing mercy. Now, he can only pray for his own good fortune.

Xiao Yu Fu didn't expect Xiao Yu Ge to be with the Wang Ye at this time. She secretly glared at An Ling beside her: Wasn't it said that Wang Ye was in the mansion How could he be with Xiao Yu Ge

An Ling was also full of grievances. She didn't see the Wangye leave, so how could the Princess of Guoguo be with him

"Qian Tingxuan waved his hand, his eyes like a blade, making Rongsheng's heart turn cold: "Rongsheng, your people say that my queen is suspected of murdering Nanny Lan. My queen has been with me all night and it's impossible for her to have gone out to commit the crime. What is going on You better give me an explanation, or I will not let this go!" day and night, her screams disturbing the entire manor. 。“Fēier! Fēier!” Mrs. Xiao saw her child in so much pain, and she couldn't bear it. 。 "Mother, save me! Save me!" Xiao Yufu clutched Mrs. X...
