After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

It took countless days and nights to travel three thousand two hundred miles on horseback. A total of five people delivered the message, and the rest were killed. Only Wanli survived, and later even the horse died of exhaustion on the road.

Wanli didn't trust any soldiers or officers, and didn't trust anyone at the post station. She was so thin that only a skeleton was left. The sword at her waist and her clothes were dirty. Her hands and face were black and dirty, and her tears had washed her little face black and white.

Wanli has always felt guilty about the fact that she accidentally leaked the secret last year, which almost caused the princess to die.

From north to south, the distance is so far, she wanted to tell the princess the news in person, so that the princess would feel at ease and she would also feel at ease.

Yan Yu wiped Wanli's face with concern and asked someone to prepare hot soup and food.

Speaking of which, Wanli was still a teenager, but she suffered so much.

Now that we know the news, it will be much easier for us to deal with it next time. We might as well take advantage of the situation and restore the innocence to the world.

Yan Yu watched Wanli wolfing down her food. She raised her hand and touched Wanli's hair: "Eat slowly. We have more if you want to eat."

Two days later.

The Kangfang tribe came to the capital to pay tribute and presented thousands of cattle and sheep to the Wei emperor.

Emperor Jianxing had no interest in the matter because there was no news from the Crown Prince.

But Concubine Jin was his favorite concubine, so he had to give her face no matter what. Emperor Jianxing held a banquet in the Zichen Hall to entertain her.

The Crown Princess did not originally attend such occasions, but perhaps because the Crown Prince was missing, she wanted to maintain the reputation of the Crown Prince's Mansion, so she showed up today.

The envoy from the Kangfang tribe first made some polite remarks in front of the royal family of the Wei Dynasty, and then said hesitantly: "We met some soldiers from the Cang Kingdom on the way here. They traded gold and silver with us for cattle and sheep. We learned some things from them."

Emperor Jianxing asked, "What's the matter?"

The envoy said: "These people brought silver and gold ingots from Wei to trade with us. They said they had captured the crown prince of Wei, and the crown prince of Wei promised that if we would not kill him and release him, he would give us half of Wei's land in exchange."

When these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar and started talking in low voices.

Prince Jin Xiao Jingshuo and the Seventh Prince Xiao Qirui both stood up: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Jingshuo was so angry that his eyes were red: "You bastard, you dare to talk about hearsay in this kind of occasion! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not that kind of person!"

Xiao Qirui said: "Even if you are talking nonsense, you must provide evidence!"

The envoy from Kang Fang said: "These people also gave me a jade pendant in exchange, saying that this jade pendant was worn by the crown prince of Wei."

As he spoke, the messenger took out a green jade pendant in the shape of a dragon with a cloud pattern.

When the jade pendant came out, the discussion became louder, and even the emperor's expression changed.

Xiao Qirui said in surprise: "This is indeed something the prince often wears, how could it be——"

"Because it's fake, it's a replica." Yan Yu said calmly, "The prince wore armor before he went out, and he didn't wear any jewelry."

The envoy from Wei looked at Yan Yu and said, "I guess this must be the Crown Princess. The people of Cang said that the Crown Prince missed you, the unparalleled beauty, so much that he offered generous conditions to Cang just to come back and see you."

"If you say one more frivolous word, I will cut off the tongues of your entire tribe when the crown prince comes back." Yan Yu looked at the emperor and bowed. "Father, I came here today to tell you a good news in front of everyone. I didn't expect to meet these people who spread rumors and slandered the crown prince!"

Jin Fei couldn't sit still for a moment: "How shameless! Whose tongue do you want to cut off?"

Emperor Jianxing glanced at Concubine Jin coldly: "Crown Princess, what do you want to say?"

Yan Yu asked a thin maid to come out from behind him.

As soon as the girl came out, Xiao Qirui's eyes were fixed on her.

Wanli knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am Leng Wanli, the niece of General Weiyuan's wife. I followed my uncle to join the army last year. After my uncle was killed, I have been staying in the army to resist the Cang Kingdom. The army has records of my personnel changes, and I would never dare to deceive you."

Emperor Jianxing suddenly thought of a possibility, and his voice trembled for some reason: "What are you going to say?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dead, nor has he been captured by the Cang Nation!"

Wanli said, "That day, the Cang Kingdom launched a surprise attack. I, the general, and the prince and his entourage fought their way out of the siege. We fought until dawn and discovered the whereabouts of the emperor of the Cang Kingdom. We intercepted the enemy's food and grass, and chased them all the way north. The prince was afraid that the enemy had support, so he sent me and the other four people back to pass on the news..."

Xiao Qirui could no longer hear what Wanli was saying and stared at her in a daze.

Wanli's clear and loud voice echoed in the hall: "After returning, I learned that the other group was completely wiped out. Everyone thought that the prince was captured. I was afraid that the news would spread to the capital and something unexpected would happen, so I came to the capital to deliver the news. On the way, I encountered two groups of assassins. In the end, I was the only one who entered the capital."

Xiao Qirui said in a trance: "How can a woman like you enter the military camp? Who knows whether what you said is true or false? Father, she must have been brought by the Crown Princess to deceive you."

Wanli said coldly: "My uncle sacrificed his life for the country, and my Leng family ancestors were all loyal ministers. How could I deceive the emperor and discredit him? I was able to join the military camp because I am good at martial arts, and few people in the military camp can beat me."

Yan Yu was afraid that Wanli would be disrespectful in front of the emperor, so he immediately said, "Father, I brought Miss Wanli here to tell you this good news. I don't know why the envoy from Kangding came at this time and slandered the prince's reputation at this time? Is there someone behind this?"

Concubine Jin was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you mean that this palace——"

Before she could finish her words, she received a loud slap on the face.

At this point, it is clear who is telling the truth and who is lying.

Emperor Jianxing narrowed his eyes and looked at all the envoys from Kangding present.

The faces of these people changed, and they all looked terrified.

"Slandering the prince, cut off their tongues."

Emperor Jianxing said coldly.

These people quickly begged Concubine Jin: "Princess, save us! We are all following your orders!"

Emperor Jianxing gnashed his teeth in hatred and slapped Concubine Jin again: "Cut off your tongue too! All the people in your tribe will die!"

Concubine Jin's body was as soft as cotton. She felt as if she was struck by lightning. She was so scared that she hugged Emperor Jianxing's thigh: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It was the Seventh Prince who asked me to do this! This is all my fault, it's the Seventh Prince's fault, it has nothing to do with the people in our tribe!"

Xiao Qirui closed his eyes.

Arguing at this moment was useless. He knew that even if he spoke eloquently, the emperor would not believe him.

The emperor sent a few people to take Xiao Qiru away.
