When Shen Ruzhou saw this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Idiot, I really sold you and still had to help others pay for it."

"Your Majesty, I heard from the prince yesterday that sister Wanqing helped him a lot. Why did you poison her to deliver the antidote? You framed her so you communicated in advance..." She deliberately told the matter in detail and vividly, It's like seeing it with your own eyes. .

In the end, he felt it was not enough, so he pointed at Mu Wanqing's maid Zisu and said, "My lord, you might as well ask her, maybe there are many things I don't know about."

King Yu's face was uncertain, and he couldn't tell who to listen to, Shen Ruzhou or Mu Wanqing. He looked at Zisu and ordered the guards to drag him out for interrogation.

After a while, Zisu's screams started to sound. Shen Ruzhou felt his scalp numb as he listened.

The guard came in and whispered a report in King Yu's ear, and then King Yu's eyes fell on Mu Wanqing again, filled with a frightening murderous aura.

"You scorpion woman, you have caused me so much pain!" King Yu roared angrily, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped Mu Wanqing hard on the face. Mu Wanqing's head was hit to the side, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but she did not say anything, but stared at King Yu coldly, her eyes full of determination and hatred.

"The prince's enemy is Xiao Chenyan, what's the point of taking it out on me?" Mu Wanqing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her voice calm and firm. There was a fearlessness and defiance in her words, as if she was telling King Yu that his anger and revenge would not make her give in.

Prince Yu was angered by her attitude, with a fierce look in his eyes, "You, and I, Prince Xiao Chenyan, will not let anyone go."

Shen Ruzhou stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes. She glanced outside the door, thinking secretly. She knew that King Yu's action was obviously planned for a long time, and his purpose was to capture Xiao Chenyan in one fell swoop. However, the sudden death of the Supreme Emperor disrupted his plan, allowing Xiao Chenyan to escape temporarily.

"Your Majesty's plan is indeed a good one, but when the Supreme Emperor passes away, the funeral ceremony will last for more than ten days. After such a long time, it will not be difficult for Xiao Chenyan to find out that something has changed in the palace. When the time comes, he will come directly with his officers and soldiers, and the Prince will die without a burial place. Yes." Mu Wanqing calmly analyzed the situation. Although her voice was soft, every word she said was like a needle piercing King Yu's heart.

King Yu's heart tightened when she said that. He knew that Mu Wanqing was right. The most important thing in a surprise attack and encirclement is to be surprised and win quickly. Now that he had caught up with the funeral ceremony, his plan had been disrupted. The furious King Yu grabbed Mu Wanqing's neck and threatened her.

"Tell me! How can we get Xiao Chenyan to return home immediately, otherwise I will send you back to the west now."

"Threatening Shen...Ruzhou." Mu Wanqing was choked so hard that she couldn't breathe properly, so she struggled to spit out these words.

King Yu frowned and his eyes wandered between Shen Ruzhou and Mu Wanqing. He did consider using Shen Ruzhou as a bargaining chip, but when he heard Mu Wanqing say this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

When Shen Ruzhou saw this, her heart tightened. She didn't want to become a victim of this struggle. So, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to Mu Wanqing's nonsense. Although I don't like the prince, my identity is his woman after all. If I fall into your hands, the prince will definitely be wary. Don’t dare to act rashly.”

As she spoke, she observed King Yu's expression. Seeing that he seemed to be wavering, he added more fuel to the fire, "Besides, wouldn't it be better to use Mu Wanqing as a bargaining chip? You can both take revenge and threaten the prince, killing two birds with one stone."

King Yu had always felt that Shen Ruzhou was out of Xiao Chenyan's eyes, and he really hated Mu Wanqing at this time, so he immediately ordered people to lock Shen Ruzhou in the woodshed, leaving Mu Wanqing to deal with Xiao Chenyan. .

The woodshed was cold and damp. Shen Ruzhou's hands and feet were tied and he felt uncomfortable all over. She squirmed and tried to sit up.

At this moment, a warm hand suddenly held her back and helped her sit up.

Shen Ruzhou looked up, and Beixiu Yan's familiar and handsome face came into her eyes. His eyes were full of concern and tenderness, which made Shen Ruzhou's heart feel warm.

Bei Xiuyan gently untied the rope that bound her and let her lean against him.

The moonlight shone from the window lattice, illuminating their figures. When Shen Ruzhou looked at Bei Xiuyan's immortal-like face, the tension and anxiety in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

"I took a quick look when I came here. King Yu has brought all his men to Prince Wucheng's Mansion. It will be a fierce battle tonight." Beixiu Yan calmly analyzed the current situation.

Shen Ruzhou suddenly became interested and asked, "Who does the prince think will win?"

"Xiao Chenyan." Beixiu Yan answered without thinking.

"Why are you so sure?"

Beixiu Yan smiled slightly and explained: "Xiao Chenyan is very scheming. He is afraid that he has already received the news that King Yu left the border area privately. Now that the Supreme Emperor is buried, the family has informed him to come back quickly because Mu Wanqing is ill. He is as smart as He will never be fooled, and he will only lead more officers and soldiers."

Shen Ruzhou actually knew the ending a long time ago, but she still couldn't help but want to hear what Beixiu Yan had to say.

"The prince has always been able to see through these things at a glance." She praised without hesitation.

Bei Xiuyan raised his hand to stroke her black hair lovingly, and said with a smile: "Let them fight, we will just sit back and watch."

Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou looked surprised, then curled his lips and smiled, his eyes full of cunning, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do nothing?"

Bei Xiuyan rubbed her head and said, "I have invited someone to watch. He should be allowed to see this good show."
