Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Xueyao stayed where she was, carefully checking every corner of the secret room to make sure there were no clues left. Then, she quietly left the Li residence and headed for the place she had agreed to meet with Bai Yichen.

When Xue Yao arrived at the agreed location, Bai Yichen and Princess Wan'er had been waiting there for a long time.

Xueyao nodded and said to Princess Wan'er, "Wan'er, go."

Princess Wan'er held Xueyao's hand tightly, tears in her eyes. She looked at Xueyao and Bai Yichen with gratitude. Without their help, she would not have the freedom she has today.

The three of them went together to where the emperor was.

On the way, Princess Wan'er recounted her life story to Xueyao and Bai Yichen. She explained that she had been framed by Prince Jing and his men, who had fabricated evidence and falsely accused her of colluding with the rebels. Her father, Qin Ming, was also implicated in the incident and imprisoned by Prince Jing and his men.

Xue Yao and Bai Yichen were both shocked upon hearing this. They hadn't expected such a deep conspiracy to be hidden behind this. They decided to do their utmost to help Princess Wan'er and Qin Ming clear their names and reunite them.

Finally, they arrived at the emperor's place. The emperor was so moved to tears when he saw Princess Wan'er returned safely.

He stood up and took two steps forward, then stopped again as he thought of something. He also lowered his outstretched arms after realizing it was inappropriate.

Seeing a king so at a loss, Xue Yao and Bai Yichen both felt a little uncomfortable.

The two of them looked at each other and then quietly retreated.

"Miss Xueyao, Wan'er really looks a bit like the emperor. Have you noticed?" Bai Yichen curled his lips slightly, and as soon as he walked out of the house, he couldn't wait to say to Xueyao.

Xue Yao naturally noticed this as well. She nodded and said, "There's no harm without comparison. Princess Wan'er can hardly disagree with this comparison."

Only the Emperor and Princess Wan'er were left in the room. Princess Wan'er was a little nervous. She had noticed the Emperor's discomfort, but she really didn't know what to say.

The emperor asked repeatedly, "Wan'er, you've suffered! How have you been through these days? Are you hurt?"

Princess Wan'er couldn't hold back her tears. She choked and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. Sister Xueyao saved me. This is the second time she has saved me."

The second time? The emperor was surprised and distressed.

He always felt guilty about his daughter. Concubine Yun died after giving birth to her.

As the emperor, he was busy with state affairs and did not raise her personally, causing her to suffer many injustices in the palace. Now, hearing Wan'er say that Xueyao saved her twice, he felt even more grateful and respectful towards this young woman.

The Emperor took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew that as a king, he couldn't lose his composure. He gently patted Princess Wan'er's shoulder and said softly, "Wan'er, I'm glad you're okay. This was all a conspiracy by Prince Jing and his men. I will definitely clear you and Qin Ming of your grievances and give you justice."

Princess Wan'er felt a little relieved when she heard this. She nodded, looked at the emperor gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing the title "Your Majesty," the Emperor's heart tightened. He couldn't blame Princess Wan'er for addressing him that way. After all, she had been sent out of the palace at a young age, and he had always assumed she had followed her mother.

It was not until a month ago that his confidant learned from Yu Congshan that the daughter born to Concubine Yun was still alive. So she sent many people to look for her in waves, and finally did not let the old father's heart down completely.

If she doesn't want to call me "Father", then she doesn't have to. As long as she is fine, that's all that matters.

"Prince Jing, you've gone too far!" The Emperor gnashed his teeth, wishing he could tear Prince Jing apart alive. It was no wonder his fifth brother was so ungrateful.

Prince Jing, who was hated by the emperor, sneezed violently at this moment.

"Ouch..." He sneezed, causing pain all over his body.

"Damn it, I planned everything, but I never expected that I would get into trouble." He still couldn't figure out how he ended up in this prison and was in pain all over.

Prince Jing was filled with confusion and resentment. He had planned so carefully, so why did he end up like this? What truth lay behind this? He desperately wanted to find the answer, to find the mastermind who had pushed him into this abyss.

At this moment, deep in the palace, the Emperor and Princess Wan'er's meeting was like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing each other's hearts. The Emperor looked at Princess Wan'er, his eyes full of love and guilt. He vowed to clear her and Qin Ming's grievances and give them justice.

Princess Wan'er also felt the emperor's love. Although she still had doubts and uneasiness in her heart, the emperor's sincerity and determination still warmed her heart.

Prince Jing certainly didn't know that Li Tianyao and his men had appeared in his backyard without anyone noticing. He never imagined that harming others would ultimately harm himself.

Besides the Prince Jing's men guarding the area everywhere, countless more secret guards lurked in the shadows, like ghosts. Their faces wore cold and cruel expressions, like a pack of hungry wolves, ready to pounce on any prey that dared to resist.

In Prince Jing's opinion, with such tight security, it would be difficult for even a mosquito to fly in, so who could possibly enter his house?

However, in this dark night, an unusual chill quietly descended, as if even the air had solidified.

They suddenly felt an inexplicable fear, as if something was approaching. However, they did not find anything unusual and could only continue patrolling, carefully protecting Prince Jing's safety.

At that moment, a dark figure flashed past them like lightning. They only had time to see a vague smokey shadow before they felt a strong cold wind blowing in their faces. They tried to chase after it in fear, but the figure had disappeared without a trace.

The shadowy figure was Qing Yi, who, as Xue Yao had arranged, was secretly assisting Li Tianyao. He passed through palace walls, dodging all patrols, and arrived at Prince Jing's mansion.

He also has an important mission, which is to capture Prince Jing and make it an accident so that Li Tianyao and others can succeed.

Outside Prince Jing's bedroom, there were heavy guards, but to Qing Yi, who was adept at tracking, these guards were nothing more than a formality. He quietly sneaked into the study and found where Prince Jing was.

Prince Jing was handling government affairs in his study, with a smug smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. However, when he saw the mansion, his smile froze immediately.

"You... who are you?" Prince Jing asked in horror.

The governor smiled slightly and waved his sleeves. Prince Jing's face suddenly turned pale and he became uneasy.

At this time, the movement that Qing Yi deliberately left behind had already been noticed by the sharp-eyed Li Tianyao. If Li Tianyao and his men could not catch Prince Jing, it would be really unfair.
