This courtesan, who came from a brothel, manipulated Ye Qing's feelings at will. A smooth-talking master of seduction, she played Ye Qing around completely, not only coveting her money in life but also trying to squeeze every last drop out of her after death.

Ye Qing, Ye Qing, if you can return to the modern world after you die, then please live a good life! Enjoy all the love you receive in the modern world, and forget this ancient world that makes you sad and painful.

His Majesty looked at Zhong Tian and coldly ordered, "Search the Zhong residence, leave no place unsearched!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the guards returned, shaking their heads in disappointment: "Your Majesty, we did not receive it."

Zhong Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Everything related to Ye Qing must have been hidden by Xia Muning! As the head of the household, Xia Muning, don't worry, he will definitely search before His Majesty sends people to search.

“Your Majesty, what Shan Fuping said is only one side of the story and is not convincing enough. I could not have cheated in the imperial examination, nor could I have assassinated Prime Minister Jiang. I have no grudge against Prime Minister Jiang and even respect him quite a bit.”

Prime Minister Jiang stood aside and said softly, "Your Majesty, I find Minister Zhong quite suspicious; she is extremely close to Ye Qing."

"Your Majesty, if you do not punish Lord Zhong, I will be quite disheartened!"

Is this some fabricated charge? Zhong Tian knelt on the ground, unable to defend himself, but Prime Minister Jiang's words sealed Zhong Tian's guilt.

Calling a deer a horse and covering up the truth with one hand, Zhongtian once again felt the methods of the most powerful minister in Zhaohua Kingdom.

Her Majesty looked at Nakata, her hands clenched tightly, and her voice trembled with humiliation as she spoke slowly: "Put her in jail!"

Zhongtian had a feeling that he had just realized it. No wonder Yue Xingxi told her to escape, because it was a dead end, and the person who wanted Zhongtian dead was Prime Minister Jiang.

Xia Muning and Le Xingxi quietly hid behind the palace. Le Xingxi had begged her brother to let her in, but the palace wasn't soundproof, so they could hear everything clearly.

The grief in his heart was about to overflow. Xia Muning wanted to rush out. He was not an impulsive person, but this time he really couldn't bear it. Just because he was in a high position and held power, did that mean he could confuse right and wrong and treat human life like dirt?

Le Xingxi held him tightly, while Xia Muning's hand gripped Le Xingxi's, causing him waves of pain.

Le Xingxi covered Xia Muning's mouth and pulled her to a secluded place where no one was around before saying to Xia Muning, "What you're doing will only make things worse!"

"That's my wife, I can't stay calm!"

"There will be a solution! There will be a solution," Le Xingxi murmured.

Nakata, now imprisoned once again, thought differently.

This scheme against Nakata was so crude that the perpetrators didn't even bother to design it carefully; they simply used force to suppress him. The scheme was so crude that it couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

But there's no solution to this situation!

The one who dealt with Zhongtian was Prime Minister Jiang. His Majesty would always temporarily avoid confronting Prime Minister Jiang's arrogance.

As for why Prime Minister Jiang would target Zhong Tian, ​​it's quite simple: there's only one thing about Zhong Tian that's worth coveting, and that's Shun Ning Express.

Zhongtian's Shunning Express has amassed a great deal of wealth, especially now that the express delivery service has expanded throughout the entire Zhaohua Kingdom, bringing enviable riches.

If Zhongtian gets into trouble and Xia Muning can't protect Shunning Express, it will naturally become Prime Minister Jiang's private property.

But why would Prime Minister Jiang want these?

Zhongtian realized a possibility and was startled.

Zhongtian and Xia Lan were locked in the same cell. Xia Lan clearly remembered what had happened before, so she hid to the side somewhat timidly, afraid that Zhongtian might suddenly decide to beat her up.

But Zhongtian had no such intention. She didn't need to lift a finger; Xia Lan, that idiot, could bring about her own demise!

It's time for visiting hours.

The first person to arrive at the cell was Shan Fuping. He wasn't there to see Zhong Tian, ​​but to see Xia Lan.

Zhongtian then realized that the maidservant Xia Lan had brought into the mansion during the imperial examinations was actually Shan Fuping.

One man gets married twice!

Dan Fuping cried pitifully to Xia Lan, "My lady, something has happened to you, what should I do?"

Even facing certain death, Xia Lan had no intention of showing mercy. She coldly said, "Just stay home and listen to your master. Don't cause any trouble!"

"My lord's methods are capable of killing me. I wonder if my wife could give me some money? I'll rent a place outside the manor and wait for you to return home!"

"Bullshit! Don't try to fool me, get lost!" Xia Lan looked at Shan Fuping's face, her tone full of impatience!

Nakata sneered from the side, finding it truly laughable.

Dan Fuping turned to look at Zhong Tian. He had no way to vent the anger he had suffered from Xia Lan, so he could only vent it on Zhong Tian.

"What are you laughing at? Your good friend Ye Qing is dead, and you'll be dying soon after!"

Zhongtian's expression turned cold. "Watch your mouth."

Dan Fuping spat on the ground and said sullenly, "What am I supposed to say to a dead man!"

"Who are you saying is going to die?" Xia Muning came in from outside the cell and his face darkened when he heard Shan Fuping's words.

"Xia Muning, I'm telling you, your wife is going to die, and you're going to become a widower!"

Dan Fuping loathed Xia Muning. Her dislike for Xia Muning wasn't because of any grudge between them, but because Xia Muning was too arrogant!

He stood there, and he was different from others. Even when his wife was in trouble, Xia Muning was not embarrassed at all, and looked down at him with nobility.

It made him look like a dirty, smelly rotten mud.

Xia Muning grabbed Shan Fuping by the collar, slapped him across the face, and said coldly, "You deserved to be slapped."

"If you dare to curse my wife again, I will take your life. I have enough money to buy 100 of your worthless lives!"

Dan Fuping trembled all over. His face burned with pain, but his heart ached even more!

He inexplicably believed that statement, believing that if he continued to make noise, he would really be killed. Without the protection of Ye Qing and Xia Lan, he had no ability to protect himself.

"Now get over there and sit there like a dog. If you make another sound, I'll rip your tongue out myself!"

Dan Fuping trembled with resentment. He glanced at Xia Lan, who remained silent, clearly reminding him of her husband at home.

The duckweed was pitiful, humiliated, and squatted to one side like a dog!

Zhongtian looked at Xia Muning with admiration.

"Mu Ning, the way you are reminds me of when we first met, so arrogant and domineering, so passionate and spirited!"

"My lady, arrogance and domineering are not good words," Xia Muning said with a gentle smile.

"Your life is so vibrant! I love it!"

"I know you can't protect me anymore, so from today onwards I will protect myself, and I will also protect you!"

Nakata had a bad feeling.

“I have been waiting for His Majesty’s judgment. If His Majesty sentences you to exile, I will go with you to that desolate place. If His Majesty sentences you to death, I will go with you to the Yellow Springs.”
