Cui Chong was a good actor. He rolled his eyes, burst into tears, and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! All this was framed by Rong Xiao."

Rong Xiao was not someone who could be manipulated, otherwise he would not have taken on the task assigned to him by Cui Chong. Seeing that Cui Chong had framed him, he became angry.

"I have already told the Emperor everything. I even gave him the pill!"

In order to prove his innocence, Rong Xiao suddenly remembered something and took out his space bag: "Oh, I still have the note you gave me."

Hearing that Rong Xiao still kept the note, Cui Chong instantly lost his composure and subconsciously asked, "You didn't burn the note?"

After asking the question, she realized she was too excited and started to make amends: "I told you a long time ago that what you did was wrong. This was just a joke between the two of us. Why did you tell the emperor about it?"

The emperor watched coldly without interrupting the conversation between the two. At this point, he already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"Cui Chong, I just want to ask you one question: where is the real Cui Chong?"

Cui Chong cried out in grievance, "Your Majesty, I am Cui Chong! I grew up in the Cui family. Yes, you can go and call my father and mother over!"

Cui Chong thought of his parents who raised him, and finally knew how to prove his innocence.

He was sent to the Cui family under an assumed name since he was a child. Even the Cui family members did not know his identity. If the Cui family members were called, it would be proved that all this was just a prank.

The emperor stared at Cui Chong and said to Zhang Fuhai, "Zhang Fuhai, feed him the food."

Zhang Fuhai was a capable general beside the emperor. He knew what the emperor wanted to do as soon as he received an order and immediately stuffed a pill into Cui Chong's mouth.

After putting the thing into Cui Cong's mouth, he still felt a little sorry, and said with regret: "This truth pill is the last one in the palace. I didn't expect it to be wasted on you. It can be considered a blessing."

When Cui Chong heard the three words "Zhenhua Dan", his defense line, which he had been holding tightly, suddenly relaxed. It seemed that he was finished.

"I'll ask you again, what's your real name? Where is the real Cui Chong?"

Cui Chong knew he couldn't escape, so he simply gave up and said, "To tell you the truth, my name is Gongsun Xin, the prince of Yueling Kingdom. If you dare to attack me, my father will never let you go!

"Haha, as for the Cui Chong you mentioned, he died a long time ago. He was suffocated to death by the midwife the moment he was born. Otherwise, how do you think I could have become Cui Chong quietly without being discovered?"

Cui Chong, no, he should be called Gongsun Xin now. He was originally kneeling on the ground with a sneer on his face, but he stood up and looked at the emperor at eye level.

He felt that his identity had been made public and the emperor would never take action against him again, otherwise it would become a struggle between the two countries.

"Why are you lurking here?"

The emperor asked the most crucial question.

Gongsun Xin laughed. "Why else? Tianlin is the weakest of the four kingdoms, so of course they want to annex it! I was almost there..."

Gongsun Xin looked at Rong Xiao with hatred again. If it weren't for him, the annexation of Tianlin Kingdom by Yueling Kingdom would be imminent.

Although Rong Xiao had a bad character, his face turned very bad when he thought about how he almost became a traitor. He naturally did not want the Tianlin Kingdom to be destroyed: "What are you looking at! If I had known you were a spy, I would not have agreed to help you steal things!"

The emperor gave Rong Xiao a cold look, and Rong Xiao tactfully shut up.

Gongsun Xin snorted coldly, a sarcastic smile plastered on his face. "Emperor Tianlin, I love seeing you trying to kill me but unable to. I advise you to let me go immediately. My life token is with my father. If you kill me, he will definitely see it! Then he will directly send his troops to attack."

The emperor listened to Gongsun Xin's provocative words, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and said calmly, "Do you really think I can't do anything to you? Come, drag him out! As long as he survives, it's fine."

The old ones are still the wisest. Since Gongsun Xin cannot be killed now, he can be tortured to his heart's content. As long as he is not dead, the dog emperor of Yueling Kingdom will never know why Gongsun Xin cannot be contacted.

After the longest period that the life card can sense has passed, send someone to kill him secretly. The emperor of Yueling Kingdom will have no evidence to prove that Gongsun Xin died at his hands.

Furthermore, Gongsun Xin has been Cui Chong since childhood and is a native of Tianlin Kingdom, so Emperor Yueling has no control over him.

Gongsun Xin was dragged away with a look of despair on his face, still muttering that he would never let the emperor go. The emperor seemed to be thinking about something and did not take Gongsun Xin's words to heart at all.

Rong Xiao, standing by, trembled in fear. Seeing Gongsun Xin being dragged away, he was also afraid that he would be treated the same way. He kowtowed and admitted his fault like a madman: "Your Majesty, I really didn't mean it. Fortunately, you discovered it early, otherwise I would have been helping the tyrant!"

The emperor's mind was full of questions, but his expression remained calm: "Oh? How do you mean aiding and abetting the tyrant?"

Rong Xiao took a deep breath and quickly confessed everything: "Originally, I took the things to give to Cui Chong, and he specifically emphasized that I was not allowed to peek. I didn't intend to look at them in the first place. Afterwards, I can't quite remember, but I ended up in the study for some reason..."

"Do you remember where you got it?"

Rong Xiao nodded quickly. He remembered this very clearly: "Mu Qingli's room. I got an electric shock the first time I went there."

The emperor nodded. "Although you didn't commit a serious crime, you still deserve to be punished. You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment for living! Zhang Fuhai, take him to receive the punishment."

Rong Xiao knew that his life was not in danger and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not dead, it would be fine.

He also didn't want to stay with the emperor anymore. He felt scared when he looked at the emperor's face. He always felt that the emperor was more terrifying than the criminal law.

The emperor rubbed his brows and thought about the whole thing again. He knew that Mu Qingli had secretly helped him in this matter, but Mu Qingli did not make it public. Naturally, he did not want others to know, and he did not intend to let everyone know.

Just as he got off the spaceship, he gave Mu Qingli a meaningful look: "Mu girl, do you have time? I have something I want to ask you."

Mu Qingli wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mouth and said, "Yes."

"Then come back to the palace with me first. After the matter is resolved, I will have someone send you back to the general's mansion."

Mu Qingli nodded, said something to Old Master Mu, and then entered the palace with the emperor.

In the imperial study, the emperor gave Mu Qingli a seat.

"I already know about the Cui Chong incident."
