It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

As soon as the emperor gave the order, someone immediately escorted Concubine Li out.

None of the palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Li were spared!

Another group of people have gone outside the palace to take the second prince away for investigation.

In addition, the people involved in this matter, the biological mother of the eldest prince and the biological mother of the third prince, are also to blame.

As to whether the eldest prince and the third prince are innocent, it remains to be investigated!

When Concubine Li was dragged out, she was still crying out for justice, saying that she was framed.

The emperor felt a headache after hearing this. He waved his hand and said to the people below, "Cover her mouth for me."

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Li's microphone seemed to be muted manually.

Then, the emperor's gaze fell on Xie Wanning's face again.

Seeing that Xie Wan Ning did not argue or make a fuss, but just looked at Lu Huaiyang crying, he frowned and did not know what to do for a moment.

Even if we take a step back, Xie Wan Ning is still a victim after all!

It’s just that her parents were mean and vicious, and when she grew up she didn’t know how to be grateful, but instead wanted to harm Xie’s family.

The emperor sighed and said, "As for Xie Wanning... your Xie family can take her back and deal with her yourselves. I won't ask any more questions."

The Xie family stood up and expressed their gratitude.

However, the Xie family's eyes have always been on Ye Nanyue.

"Send the person back to Xie Mansion first." Xie Songlin said to the old women and maids who followed the Xie family.

"Yes, sir."

Two maids came forward, half supporting and half dragging Xie Wan Ning out.

Xie Wan Ning was already somewhat unconscious and staggering. When she was helped up, if it weren't for the two maids holding her up, she would have probably fallen down.

She didn't cry, but just shed tears silently, without covering her mouth.

However, after the two maids carried her a few steps outside, Xie Wan Ning suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

Everyone looked at Xie Wanning, only to see Xie Wanning take a deep breath, still looking at Lu Huaiyang: "I have something to ask the wise king, and I will leave after asking."

Everyone looked at Lu Huaiyang again, even the emperor looked at Lu Huaiyang.

The meaning is very clear.

It depends on Lu Huaiyang's own intention.

Lu Huaiyang glanced at Ye Nanyue and saw that Ye Nanyue nodded slightly at him, as if she didn't care much, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he himself was also curious about what else Xie Wan Ning wanted to say to him.

Lu Huaiyang looked at Xie Wanning and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Xie Wan Ning was supported by two maids, tears welling up in her eyes. "I want to ask, has Your Highness ever liked me? Has he ever liked me at all?"

Ye Nanyue frowned, looked at Xie Wanning and shook her head.

There's no hope. I'm really hopeless because of my love brain.

If you say Lin Wannian is a bad person, it is because she wants to become the queen.

But Xie Wan Ning is just obsessed with love!

Ye Nanyan was thinking this when she heard Lu Huaiyang beside her say without hesitation: "Never."

Those two words, spoken in a solemn and firm tone, didn't leave Xie Wan Ning with even a shred of hope.

Xie Wan Ning seemed to have known the answer long ago, tears rolling down her cheeks even harder: "Why? Before Your Highness knew my identity, you had never liked me? Why?"

She glanced at Ye Nanyue, her eyes flashing with anger and hatred: "What's so good about her? When you got married, she was just a country woman. You would rather like such a vulgar woman than have ever been moved by me?"

"Your Highness, have you reached a point where you are too afraid to tell the truth?"

This means that now that the truth is revealed, Lu Huaiyang is deliberately not daring to tell the truth?

Not to mention Lu Huaiyang, even Ye Nanyue couldn't help but laugh.

It’s already this time, and you’re still trying to sow discord?

Lu Huaiyang looked at her, his eyes growing colder, and said, "I've never, never liked you."

"Your feelings for me are only because of my status. When you rejected the Eighth Prince, it was because of his background, not because of me."

"The reason you've refused to marry all these years is because you know your identity and are afraid of being exposed. It's better for you to keep a reputation as a lovestruck person and wait for the right time."

"Every move you make is calculated. How can you compare with my Nan Yan?"

"When she married me, I had nothing, not even an acre of land."

"She gave birth to my descendants, and even when there was no hope, she was able to turn back..."

"Now she respects me and helps me. She is the best wife..."

"How can you compare with her? How can you sow discord between her and me?"

When Lu Huaiyang looked at Xie Wanning, his tone was natural without any pause.

It's like he's calmly telling about something that's perfectly normal.

It was obvious that he had thought so in his mind a long time ago. It was not an excuse he made up on the spur of the moment, nor was it a reason for refusal he thought of at the moment.

That's what he thought in his heart.

Ye Nanyue looked at Lu Huaiyang in surprise.

This man... you know what, he's really good.

She was a little touched at this moment.

Even she herself doesn't know how good she is.

After all, the original owner's past was a complete mess.

The Xie family, Concubine Cen and Concubine Xie all nodded with satisfaction when they looked at Lu Huaiyang.

Even the emperor couldn't help but look at Lu Huaiyang with a little more appreciation.

Isn't it a good thing that the son you value so much is so loyal and righteous?

Only Xie Wan Ning closed her eyes, as if she was in extreme despair.

"If... you hadn't been demoted, if you stayed in the capital, and you and I got married... would it be different?" Xie Wan Ning looked at Lu Huaiyang with the last glimmer of hope and expectation and couldn't help asking.

This time, before Lu Huaiyang could answer, Xie Qiyang, who was with the Xie family, couldn't help but ask, "What ifs? How can there be so many ifs?"

"You don't have this fate. You took my sister's place, and you will have to give it back sooner or later."

"Even if my sister was harmed by a villain, she will come back sooner or later and live the life that belongs to her!"

"Even if you take over her identity, you won't have a good life."

"Stop hanging around here and leave! You should be grateful that I've kept you alive until now!"

"Don't think I don't know you. You've been pretending since you were little. No one believes you and likes you except my eldest brother. Why are you asking me here?"

It can be seen that Xie Qiyang is already very impatient at this moment.

He was anxious to meet Ye Nanyue openly and honestly!

Xie Wan Ning is still here, which is really a nuisance.

When Xie Qiyang said this, Ye Nanyue's eyes showed a smile and she almost laughed out loud.

Xie Qiyang is still too straightforward.

The Xie family and the emperor also had smiles on their faces. Now no one thought he was rude, but instead thought he was speaking frankly.

Only Xie Chengye's face froze. He frowned and looked at Xie Qiyang, then at Xie Wanning, as if he wanted to say something.

On the side, Liu reached out and grabbed Xie Chengye's sleeve, giving him a look that said "You dare to try it."
