The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Thinking of this, An Linhou knelt on the ground and continued to kowtow, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent! This is a capital crime. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do it!"

"I didn't drug you..." He turned around and pointed at Nangong Liuli, angrily saying, "It was her. She seduced me. I saw she was drunk, so I kindly took her to the side hall to rest. I didn't expect that she took the opportunity to drug me..."

"Every word this old minister has said is true. I beg Your Majesty to examine it carefully, and Your Majesty to judge it."

After he finished speaking, An Linhou kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Nangong Liuli who was hiding behind Jiang Huaizhou.

Nangong Liuli's face was pale, her eyes were red, she bit her lower lip tightly, mumbling: "I didn't... I didn't..."

The beauty looked like she was about to cry and looked extremely aggrieved.

Anyone who sees her will be more inclined to sympathize with her.

Upon seeing this, An Linhou quietly glared at Baili Yuyan in the crowd with a sinister look. The meaning was very clear: if Baili Yuyan didn't take action to settle the matter for him, he would be doomed to fail.

Baili Yuyan had a cold face throughout the whole time. At this moment, he wanted to kill Nangong Liuli more than anyone else.

He clenched his fists and shot a sinister look straight at Nangong Liuli, full of warning.

Nangong Liuli subconsciously shrank her body, and hid her head behind Jiang Huaizhou, avoiding Baili Yuyan's sight.

Baili Yuyan saw this and narrowed his eyes. A dark storm was brewing in his eyes...

Jiang Wantang quietly observed the expressions of several people, smiled sarcastically, and his eyes were cold and frosty.

It would be fine if he was plotting against her, but now he dares to target his brother. It's meaningless.

Next, it will be a dog-eat-dog fight to see who wins...

Neither Jiang Wantang nor Ji Wuyuan said anything.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense for a moment.

Just as Baili Yufeng was about to speak, Baili Yuyan stepped out first and said in a deep voice, "The aphrodisiac incense was prepared by me..."

"No, to be precise, it was the Glazed Saint who asked me to prepare it for her."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar.

"Your Highness..." Nangong Liuli raised her head hastily, with a hint of panic on her pale little face.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Baili Yufeng turned around and glared at Baili Yuyan angrily.

Baili Yuyan curled his lips, but his eyes were gloomy. He said, "I am not talking nonsense. It was the Holy Lady Liuli who said that she likes Dasheng and wants to stay. She begged me to find this fragrant medicine for her..."

"But I didn't expect her to be so eager for quick success and so bold as to choose to drug someone at a palace banquet."

"Da Sheng now has friendly diplomatic relations with my Nan Yue. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I couldn't help but stand up."

"Put the fragrant medicine on her. If you don't believe me, call a doctor and we'll know the answer."

After saying this, he stared at Nangong Liuli without blinking, the corner of his lips raised in a cruel and sinister manner.

Upon hearing this, Baili Yufeng looked at Nangong Liuli with a gaze that was like a sharp sword just out of its sheath, shining with a cold light.

He asked in a cold voice, "Is what he said true?"

At this moment, the people around were whispering, pointing, and talking among themselves. The sound of small discussions surged from all directions like a tide...

The eyes that everyone looked at Nangong Liuli also changed from sympathy and pity to contempt and ridicule...

It turned out that she directed and acted in all of this herself.

Nangong Liuli gritted her teeth and dug her nails into her palms.

She understood that Baili Yuyan was going to destroy her, the disobedient chess piece.

She has no way out...

The only person who can save her now is the man in front of her, Jiang Wantang’s brother, Jiang Huaizhou.

Nangong Liuli tentatively stretched out her little hand and gently pulled Jiang Huaizhou's sleeve.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaizhou directly took her hand, pulled her up from the ground, walked step by step to Ji Wuyuan and Jiang Wantang, slowly knelt on his knees, looking solemn and serious.

He said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no matter what, I have already had physical contact with the Holy Lady of Liuli..."

"I have already reached the age of twenty, and have yet to marry. Today, I boldly ask Your Majesty to grant me the Holy Lady of Glaze as my wife."

Nangong Liuli suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Huaizhou beside her, with shock, confusion... and complicated emotions in her eyes.

All around, people gasped one after another.

"I disagree!"

Before Ji Wuyuan could react, Jiang Wantang took the initiative to refuse.

"She was the one who planned to harm people first. How can such a scheming woman be worthy of the position of the Minister's wife?" Jiang Wantang stopped her sternly.

Ji Wuyuan, who was standing beside her, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, frowning, his eyes dark and complicated.

Jiang Huaizhou seemed to have anticipated Jiang Wantang's resistance. He said calmly, "I wonder if Your Majesty, may I have a moment with you?"

Outside the hall, under a big tree.

Jiang Wantang looked at his brother, who was more than half a head taller than him, and couldn't hide his excitement. "Brother, do you know what I just said?"

"Nangong Liuli is not an ordinary woman. She has a complicated identity. Her plan today clearly shows bad intentions..."

Jiang Huaizhou smiled and said nonchalantly, "Tang'er, she's an orphan, wandering around like crazy. She's quite pitiful. Now she just wants to stay in her hometown."

"Besides, my brother came out of the palace with her in front of everyone, ruining her reputation. He must be responsible for her."

"For me, marrying her is just to give her a place to stay."

"Don't worry, Tang'er."

Jiang Wantang felt her heart stagnate. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Brother, are you serious?"

Jiang Huaizhou nodded: "Yes."

"Do you have to marry her?"

Jiang Huaizhou said, "Yes."

"If I tell you that she's having an affair with a guy next door, brother... wouldn't you mind?"

Jiang Huaizhou was silent for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Brother, your mind has been made up. I hope your sister will support you."

Jiang Wantang's face looked extremely ugly and he stopped talking.

Having said that, what else is there to say?

Whenever Jiang Wantang thought about her handsome brother being with Nangong Liuli in the future, she felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Before returning to the palace, she looked at Jiang Huaizhou with complicated eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Brother, why are you in this side hall?"

Jiang Huaizhou's expression froze for a moment, but only for a moment, and soon he returned to his usual gentle smile: "Brother saw you hurriedly coming to this side hall alone, so he thought of following to take a look..."

When Jiang Wantang heard this, she suddenly felt guilty.

Her brother was implicated because of her, but just then, she actually had a little doubt about her brother who loved her...

This shouldn't be the case.

After a long silence, Jiang Wantang closed her eyes and finally said, "If it is what you wish, I will... fulfill it."

......

At this time, Ji Wuyuan in the hall looked calm, but many fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Wang Fuhai looked at him worriedly, but didn't dare to say anything.

When Jiang Wantang came back, he had returned to normal and there was no sign of anything wrong.

Since Jiang Huaizhou spoke personally, Jiang Wantang did not try to stop him even though he was reluctant.

When Jiang Huaizhou knelt down again to ask Nangong Liuli to marry him, Ji Wuyuan looked at Jiang Wantang beside him.

The latter nodded without saying anything.

Ji Wuyuan didn't say much for Jiang Wantang's sake. In the eyes of everyone, this was considered as his tacit approval of his proposal to Nangong Liuli, but it was only a tacit approval, and he did not issue an order to grant the marriage.

Just like that, a palace banquet ended abruptly with Jiang Huaizhou publicly proposing to marry the Liuli Saintess of the Southern Moon Nation...
