Wu Guojun's cold eyes suddenly fell on Qin Mingyue, and she shuddered all over.

For a moment, she thought that King Wu must have discovered her testing, and she subconsciously wanted to escape.

However, the King of Wu simply raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, saying, "How could the Saint not be dead? Didn't you see how she died? Bleeding from all seven orifices, how horrific!"

Qin Mingyue wanted to pry his fingers apart, but she was not as strong as him.

She subconsciously opened her mouth to shout, but he blocked her mouth.

Qin Mingyue widened her eyes in despair. She was bullied by King Wu.

She was extremely looking forward to the queen and her father coming to rescue her, but they never came.

Until the severe pain came, she cried and closed her eyes.

She did not notice at this moment that the eyes of King Wu above her body were filled with coldness.

After a night of tossing and turning, Qin Mingyue was seriously injured.

When she woke up from the pain, she heard Queen Wu sitting next to her and crying.

She turned to look at her father, who also had a grim expression on his face.

As for the King of Wu who was sitting in the main seat, his cold eyes were even more terrifying.

At this time, Queen Wu said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Mingyue is now yours. When you return to Li Kingdom, you will make her your consort, right?"

The King of Wu said sinisterly, "The Queen is magnanimous, but how can I, your Majesty, hold my head high in front of others? Don't you know what your relationship with her is?"

Queen Wu's throat choked and she couldn't help but argue, "What should we do then? Do you still want to kill Mingyue? Besides, she didn't mean to plot against you. She used that deceptive incense because she admires you!"

Qin Mingyue understood at this time that the incense had been discovered, and her aunt and father had probably already agreed to let her take the blame.

She bit her lips hard, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, she couldn't understand why King Wu was obviously unconscious, so she couldn't get anything out of him.

Could it be that the saint is really dead?

Did they all guess wrong?

Wasn't she intentionally offering her body to the king this time?

Just as she was tossing her mind over and over again, King Wu spoke coldly, "For the sake of my reputation, you must not take Qin Mingyue as your concubine. Let her stay in the Qin family. If she becomes pregnant, the child can be raised by the queen!"

Qin Tianhao refused to argue: "Your Majesty, you can't do this to Mingyue!"

King Wu raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "How about deposing your sister as queen first?"

Qin Tianhao's expression suddenly changed, and he finally swallowed all his dissatisfaction back into his throat.

King Wu hurried away, his stern words still ringing in their ears: "Clean up all those who know about this. Anyone who spreads bad rumors about our king in the future, no matter who they are, will be killed without mercy!"

After his figure disappeared, Qin Tianhao smashed a teacup in anger.

He said angrily: "He really has someone to rely on. He no longer takes our Qin family seriously!"

Queen Wu ignored her and looked directly at the pale Qin Mingyue: "Didn't I tell you to get information? Why did you end up in his bed? Qin Mingyue, are you deliberately trying to seduce the king?"

Qin Mingyue explained aggrievedly, "How could I? I don't know why he suddenly became so presumptuous, Queen, or is it that the person you found is simply unreliable? Her incense has no effect on extracting the truth, but instead makes people lose their minds and do ridiculous things?"

Queen Wu angrily retorted, "Impossible! I've seen her abilities before. She won't make any mistakes, unless you have bad intentions!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qin Tianhao immediately lowered his voice and interrupted: "What the king wants is for us to blame each other. If you are so divided, won't you just fulfill his wish?"

Queen Wu clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and said, "What should we do? We have already lost our chance. The coffin carrying the Saint's remains will be sent to Meishan today!"

Qin Tianhao said gloomily: "No, we still have a trump card!"

Queen Wu looked at him in surprise: "What?"

Qin Tianhao uttered four words faintly: "Ning Lei weeps over the coffin!"

Wu Guojun and Min Ao came to the backyard together. He spoke quickly, "Minister Min, you are indeed as good as a god. Qin Tianhao simply didn't believe that the Saint Girl would commit suicide by poisoning. He even sent Qin Mingyue to the study last night under the guise of delivering soup, trying to use dirty medicine to trick me into telling the truth!"

Min Ao glanced at him calmly: "So?"

King Wu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So my king played along and didn't tell the truth, but Qin Mingyue enjoyed it. She is truly worthy of being the most beautiful girl in our Li Kingdom. The feeling was absolutely wonderful!"

Min Ao did not comment on King Wu's actions. After all, he was the ruler of Li Country, and no one could stop him from doing whatever he wanted.

Besides, the Qin family had ill intentions to begin with, and now that they have shot themselves in the foot, it can be considered as getting what they wanted.

He warned in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, please do not be careless. As long as the Saint's coffin is not buried, they may continue to cause trouble!"

Before King Wu could say anything, he heard a burst of sad crying.

His pupils contracted violently. It was Lei'er?

He immediately became so angry that his face turned blue. What a Qin Tianhao! He actually set his sights on Lei'er. He was really looking for death!

He quickly rushed over and said, "Leier, who told you to come and cry over the coffin?"

Wu Ninglei was held by Queen Wu's hand. He said sadly, "Father, I dreamed of my aunt Saint last night. She blamed me for not seeing her one last time. She wanted to see Lei'er. Please help me and let me see her one last time."

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, which immediately made King Wu grit his teeth in hatred.

He glared at Queen Wu who was standing beside him: "Why don't you take Lei'er away? It's almost time to start the Lingji event. Do you want to delay it?"

Queen Wu argued aggrievedly, "I dare not, but Lei'er is a filial son after all. Your Majesty, he is still young. Do you want him to have the regret of not being able to see the Saint for the rest of his life?"

King Wu clenched his fists tightly, and the coldness in his eyes surged fiercely.

Without waiting for his consent, Wu Ninglei quickly ran to the coffin and said, "All of you, get out of the way! You are not allowed to carry my aunt away!"

Wu Guojun immediately ordered: "What are you all still standing there for? Pull him away!"

At this time, Qin Tianhao spoke sinisterly: "Your Majesty, you are preventing the little prince from seeing the Saint Girl. Is it true that there is no body of hers in this coffin?"

Wu Guojun's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent. He asked coldly, "Qin Tianhao, do you know what you are talking about?"

Qin Tianhao immediately replied, "I know this. As the great general who protects the Li Kingdom, I have fought countless battles to bring prosperity to the country. How can I bear the stigma of forcing the Saint to death? You are preventing the young prince from seeing the Saint's body. I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on. Are you trying to deceive the officials and people of the Li Kingdom?"
