The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

The young man's handsome appearance immediately made Emperor Nan Meng's eyes light up, and for a moment he even forgot his mistake of not kneeling down to greet him.

"Your Majesty, this is the concubine in the west pavilion of the princess's mansion." Lin Zhao reported and retreated silently. For a moment, the three of them stared at Xie Lin.

Li Chuan knelt beside her. This was her first time to be so close to Xie Lin. The boy was clean and clear, and it seemed that being close to him could make people feel at ease.

This was also the first time that Li Chuan had such a strange feeling towards a man.

"Xiao Qi, be careful not to anger the emperor." Meng Xuanhe shouldn't have spoken, but she was worried about Xie Lin, so she spoke up to remind him.

Meng Ziyan was so focused on the handsome man's appearance that he didn't think deeply about what Meng Xuanhe said.

"Come here, please take a seat." Xie Lin was treated much better than the other two, but the seat he was assigned was actually next to Meng Ziyan.

It was Xie Lin's first time out of the house, and this was the imperial palace. He had a hundred questions in his mind to ask the princess, but she seemed unable to answer him, so Xiao Qi didn't say a word.

Seeing Xie Lin's silence, Meng Xuanhe breathed a sigh of relief. But Meng Ziyan's next words made her heart ache again.

"The men in the imperial sister's house are truly stunning." Xie Lin was the most handsome man he had ever seen. Although the man in the harem was also a peerless man, he and Xie Lin had two different temperaments.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Although Xie Lin didn't know who Meng Ziyan was, when he heard Lin Zhao address him, he also said it.

"Your Majesty, it's him. This man has the scent of the golden and silver butterfly Gu. He is the one who is poisoned." The closer he got to Xie Lin, the stronger the scent of the golden and silver butterfly Gu became. Li Chuan couldn't help but said hurriedly,

"Did I ask you to speak?" Meng Ziyan's joyful mood of appreciating the beauty was interrupted, and he glanced at Li Chuan coldly. Li Chuan's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he lowered his head again.

She was furious. If it wasn't for the golden and silver butterfly Gu and the goddess jade pendant, why would she come to find this foolish and ruthless dog emperor?

"What's your name?" Meng Ziyan looked at Xie Lin and changed his expression. In Meng Xuanhe's words, that expression could be described as vicious tenderness? It was really terrifying.

"My name is Xiaoqi." Xie Lin called himself "I" in front of the emperor, which was disrespectful, but Meng Ziyan did not care. Instead, he reached out and touched his face.

Meng Xuanhe saw Meng Ziyan's actions, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the dog emperor had taken a fancy to Xiao Qi? Then Xiao Qi would be in trouble.

Being in Meng Ziyan's hands is not the same as being with her. She can always take Xie Lin back to Beiliang. But if Xie Lin is in the palace, it will be difficult for him to escape.

So she had to protect Xiao Qi today at all costs and was determined not to let him fall into Meng Ziyan's hands.

Xie Lin tilted his head slightly and dodged Meng Ziyan's hand. He obviously refused to be touched by anyone except the princess.

The smile on Meng Ziyan's face froze, and he pulled his hand back, his expression clearly displeased.

"Royal brother, Xiaoqi has suffered from dementia since childhood, and his brain is no different from that of an eight-year-old child. I hope Your Majesty will calm down." Meng Xuanhe spoke up to help.

The issue of dementia also made Meng Ziyan even more suspicious.

After all, the signs of being poisoned by the golden and silver butterfly Gu are that the person will become mentally debilitated and only listen to the words of the person who poisoned him.

"Your Majesty, the golden and silver butterfly Gu has this effect." Meng Xuanhe's rescue was exactly what Li Chuan wanted.

"I know. Xiaoqi, who is the princess to you?" Meng Ziyan asked him, directly testing Xie Lin's attitude.

Xie Lin didn't understand what they were talking about, but he was shocked by the princess's statement that he had been suffering from dementia since childhood. As for the golden and silver butterfly Gu, he was even more confused.

"The princess is the best person in the world." Xie Lin answered irrelevantly, but the seriousness in his eyes was genuine.

People who have been poisoned by the golden and silver butterfly Gu are extremely dependent on the person who poisoned them. These words made Meng Ziyan's face even gloomier.

Could it be that his imperial sister actually dared to deceive him now? It seemed that he doted on her too much.

Meng Ziyan would not tolerate a chess piece causing any ripples in his palm, so he slammed the table hard, and flew into a rage.

"It seems that he is really under the spell of the Golden and Silver Butterfly Gu, and he obeys your orders. You are getting bolder now, and you dare to deceive the emperor."

Meng Xuanhe felt more and more uneasy and knelt on the ground with his head down.

"Royal brother, he has not been poisoned by the golden and silver butterfly Gu. I have never lied to you." Meng Xuanhe knelt on the ground, thinking secretly in her heart that in ancient society, one person really had the final say, and life and death depended on this person's thoughts.

"Your Majesty is very clear." Li Chuan would never give her any chance, thinking proudly in her heart that she wanted both the goddess jade pendant and Xie Lin. She would first cure Xie Lin's poison, and then return to the Wuxiang tribe to report, which could be regarded as an explanation to the Wuxiang people.

"Someone come..." Meng Ziyan was feeling annoyed and seemed to have lost his patience with Meng Xuanhe, but he was interrupted by Xie Lin as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Xiao Qi was abandoned by her family due to illness when she was young and became displaced. It was the princess who adopted Xiao Qi. The princess is the best person in the world to Xiao Qi." Xie Lin said. Meng Xuanhe didn't expect that he would say this.

Although Xie Lin was poisoned, he was extremely intelligent by nature. He realized the princess's predicament and understood that he was the only one who could solve the situation.

Meng Xuanhe looked at him in surprise. This sentence really pulled her off Meng Ziyan's list of dishonest people.

"Is it really like this?" Meng Ziyan paused and looked at Meng Xuanhe suspiciously.

"To answer your question, my brother, it is true. I have saved Xiao Qi before, and his loyalty is not because of that golden and silver butterfly poison." Meng Xuanhe bit her lip and said innocently. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she felt a little wronged.

Seeing that he almost misunderstood Meng Xuanhe, Meng Ziyan did not feel much apologetic in his heart, but simply transferred his anger to Li Chuan.

"Goddess Wuxiang, I have indulged you many times because of your identity. Now you have to give me an explanation. You broke into the princess's mansion at night and slandered my Princess Nanmeng. You are guilty of multiple crimes. Even if you are the Goddess Wuxiang, the punishment will not be light." Meng Ziyan snorted coldly.

Li Chuan had never expected the situation to develop into what it is now. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were almost digging into his flesh.

"Your Majesty, Li Chuan was mistaken." Now she had no chance to refute, and could only swallow this loss silently. She had no way to prove that Xie Lin was infected with the golden and silver butterfly Gu, which meant that she had offended Meng Ziyan.

"Tease the emperor and slander the princess, you should be punished severely." Lin Zhao, who was beside Meng Ziyan, glanced at Li Chuan. This woman slandered the eldest princess time and time again, Meng Ziyan would surely not let her off easily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Li Chuan was not too panicked. She was the goddess of Wuxiang, and Wuxiang was the middle force between the two countries. Therefore, both Nanmeng and Beiliang were on good terms with it. She didn't believe that Meng Ziyan could do anything to her.

That's why she could come to the palace many times to target Meng Xuanhe without fear, and even break into the princess's mansion at night.

Unfortunately, Li Chuan underestimated Meng Ziyan's stupidity. He never took anyone seriously. He was a little lenient to Li Chuan because of the golden and silver butterfly Gu, but now it has been confirmed that the golden and silver butterfly Gu does not have the rumored effect, so he naturally will not be afraid of Li Chuan.

"Drag Li Chuan away and put him in the Sky Prison." Li Chuan looked up in disbelief and saw Meng Ziyan saying nonchalantly.
