Emperor Dong Ling interrupted with a cold snort.

"I killed a concubine who caused chaos in the palace and confused the royal bloodline. Even if the emperor came, he would not be able to find fault with me.

Don't be so mysterious here, just say what you want to say, don't talk nonsense."

Xue Lin forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I know you too well. You won't kill me. I am still useful to you.

I am the princess of Xiyue, you can't just kill me!"

"The princess of Xiyue?" Emperor Dongling was secretly surprised but did not show it on his face.

"For decades, we haven't had much interaction with the Western Yue Kingdom, let alone a marriage alliance. In order to save your life, you even made up a lie that you were the princess of Western Yue."

"I am really the Princess of Xiyue. For some reason, I was stranded in the Kingdom of Dongling and became the daughter of the Xue family." Xue Lin said as she took out half of the jade pendant hidden on her body.

A few years ago, my father and mother came to Dongling to look for me, but they kept it a secret because it involved so many people."

"I don't care whose daughter you are. As a concubine in my harem, if you do something wrong, you should be punished."

Emperor Dong Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Lin.

"Besides, I married the daughter of the Xue family. You are just an adopted daughter. Now you are saying that you are the Princess of Xiyue. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Even if the emperor of Xiyue came, he couldn't save you."

Emperor Dongling turned away.

After returning to the imperial study, Emperor Dong Ling walked back and forth for a few rounds and shouted to the sky: "Someone come!"

A secret guard appeared and saluted: "Master!"

"Go to the General's Mansion, ask General Nangong and his son to bring Xue'er and her daughter to the palace immediately, and tell them that I have something urgent to discuss.

Also, get the second one here too."

"Yes!"

General's Mansion.

Nangong Honglie and others returned to the general's mansion, and the whole family gathered around them after hearing the news.

"Oh, Jiuer is back!"

"I'm not used to Jiu'er not being at home. It's a lot quieter."

Nangong Jiu waved his arms and kicked his legs, grinning with his toothless mouth.

After being carried around among the adults, Xiao Wang squeezed forward, bit Nangong Jiu's clothes, put him on his back, and trotted around the garden.

Chu Ruoyan laughed: "When Jiu'er was not at home, Xiao Wang ignored us and just stayed in the Ruixue Courtyard without going out. We were afraid that he would get sick from boredom.

As soon as I heard you were back, I ran faster than anyone else."

Xu Feiyan smiled and nodded: "It's snowing, and the weather is a bit cold. I made shoes and clothes for Xiao Wang, and they are almost finished. I don't know if he can get used to wearing them."

Nangong Yunxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Wang shouldn't need to wear shoes, right?"

"You have to wear it! Xiao Wang always plays with the children in the yard, and their little feet are always on the ground. It's so cold."

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law!" Nangong Yunxue felt warm in her heart. This is what people often say, "Love the house and love the people in it." Because her family members love her and Jiuer, they also fall in love with Xiao Wang.

"Why are you being so polite? We are a family! By the way, Yuyao also made Jiuer a fur coat."

Zhou Yuyao smiled and patted Xu Feiyan: "It's just that sister-in-law is quick-witted.

My relatives from my mother's family got two good furs, the fur is very soft, so I thought of making some clothes for Jiuer, so that Jiuer won't be afraid of the cold in winter."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law!"

"Didn't my sister-in-law just say that? We are a family, why should we be polite?

Tell us quickly, what new things have happened since you entered the palace? "

Nangong Yunxue told everyone what happened in the palace honestly, and everyone was deeply moved.

"If it weren't for you and your daughter, we would have been beheaded today. We should go and take a look."

After Chu Ruoyan sighed, she began to curse towards the direction of the palace.

"That black-hearted guy, it's not enough that he harmed Xue'er once, he even wants to harm her a second time. Why don't you chop off his dog head as well?"

Nangong Yunxue quickly tried to comfort him: "Mom, don't be angry! He is now imprisoned in the clan house, being tortured with 72 instruments of torture. His life is more miserable than being beheaded."

Zhou Yuyao echoed: "Beheading means death, no punishment, but being tortured is different.

I heard that very few people could survive the seventy-two torture instruments. Maybe one day, he would die during the torture."

"He is so inhumane, he deserves to be tortured." Chu Ruoyan said hatefully.

Nangong Yunxue smiled and comforted everyone: "The enemies who harmed us have been punished. I have no grudges in my heart anymore, and I will live happily for the rest of my life."

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Everyone nodded.

They were chatting happily here, and the other children saw Xiao Wang carrying Nangong Jiu for a stroll, so they followed behind, one dragging another, and finally Xiao Wang was dragging a group of children around the garden.

Suddenly, the garden was filled with children's cheerful laughter.

The adults stood not far away, watching with smiles on their faces.

At this time, Xiao Wang was jogging and complaining to Nangong Jiu: "Your Majesty, you never bring Xiaoxian with you every time you go out. I wonder if Xiaoxian will be worried?"

"The Emperor's grandfather has already made an agreement with my mother to bring you with him to the palace."

"Really? You must keep your word!"

"When did this emperor stop keeping his word?"

Xiao Wang shut his mouth obediently.

The sound of children's laughter and noise spread into the front yard.

Nangong Honglie and his son, who were discussing something in the study, were about to go to the back garden to join in the fun.

Here, a secret guard appeared: "Master, a secret guard beside the emperor is here."

Nangong Honglie's heart tightened, thinking something must have happened again.

"Invite him in quickly."

Soon, the secret guard came in with his men.

The man clasped his fists and saluted: "General Nangong, the master asked you, Lord Nangong, Madam Xue, and Princess Dingguo to come to the palace immediately, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss."

Nangong Honglie was shocked: "What happened in the palace?"

"No! Before, after Lord Chen from the Ministry of Justice came to look for the master, the master went to the prison and asked his subordinates to look for you when he came back."

"Okay, you go back and report first, we'll be there soon!"

"Yes!" The secret guard disappeared.

Nangong Honglie ordered Nangong Yunsheng: "Hurry up and call Xue'er and her daughter. I'll ask Chu Feng to prepare the carriage. Remember to let everyone go to watch the execution."

Nangong Yunsheng agreed and hurried to the backyard.

Chu Ruoyan saw Nangong Yunsheng running towards her quickly and teased with a smile: "Boss, why are you running so fast? Is there a dog chasing you?"

After Nangong Yunsheng ran over, he touched his chest and took a few breaths before explaining with a slight breathlessness.

"It's not the dog that's chasing me, it's the Emperor who's urging me. Xue'er, hurry up, the Emperor has summoned us to the palace immediately!

Mother, in the afternoon, you take everyone to Caishikou to watch the execution, and ask Chu Feng to send someone to book a room with a better location."

Chu Ruoyan frowned: "You just came back from the palace, why do you want to go into the palace again?"

"The emperor sent someone close to him to tell us that he has something to discuss with us."

"Then go quickly and don't delay the emperor's business."

Nangong Yunxue shouted to Xiao Wang who was running away, "Xiao Wang, come back quickly!"

Little Wang obediently ran over.

Nangong Yunxue picked up Nangong Jiu and said, "Mom, we're leaving first!"

"Okay, go ahead, and be safe!"

Xiao Wang stood there watching with eager eyes.

"Are you forgetting about me again?"
