Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Zhongtian looked at Xia Muning, his eyes gradually welling up with tears.

"Mu Ning, you can't! We have not only the present, but also the future. You need to take care of our children and our family at home! No one is worth giving up your life for, including me!"

Xia Muning shook her head, disagreeing: "My wife, I want to live and die with you, to share the same bed in life and the same grave in death."

"Mu Ning, come closer." Xia Mu Ning obediently approached Zhong Tian, ​​who whispered a few words in his ear. Xia Mu Ning's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "Mu Ning, help me! You're the only person I trust!"

The two were now standing very close together, and Zhong Tian's warm breath brushed against Xia Muning's ear, making Xia Muning's ears turn slightly red.

Xia Muning nodded reluctantly.

His Majesty gazed at the scene before him from afar, his expression as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, lost in thought.

Le Xingxi followed behind His Majesty, looking Zhong Tian up and down with some concern, and only felt relieved when she saw that she was alright.

Master Li coughed softly, and Zhong Tian and Xia Muning immediately separated. As soon as Xia Muning saw His Majesty, he concealed his presence and hid behind Zhong Tian.

Upon seeing His Majesty's arrival, the people in the prison immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live His Majesty!"

Jiang Yuxiao frowned slightly as she looked at the noisy environment in the prison. Looking at the people in the prison, she became even more irritated: "Why are there so many people!"

Master Li immediately understood and transferred all the people in the prison to another prison for interrogation. Master Li and Le Xingxi also withdrew very shrewdly.

Only His Majesty and Zhongtian remained in the vast prison. Zhongtian knelt on the ground, concealing the emotions in his eyes. Zhongtian was quite resentful.

She was kneeling before an emperor who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, a foolish ruler controlled by powerful ministers!

Jiang Yuxiao looked at the top of Zhongtian's head and gently helped her up: "Zhongqing, it is I who have wronged you."

His Majesty's apology allowed Zhongtian to temporarily set aside his prejudices. In any case, it was extremely rare for the Emperor to apologize.

"I know you are innocent, but this is all I can do. However, I need your help."

His Majesty whispered something in Nakata's ear, and Nakata nodded: "If you can help me with this, you will get everything you want!"

Does Your Majesty know what she wants? But Zhongtian still knelt down: "Your subject will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust."

Jiang Yuxiao looked at Zhong Tian: "This time you will be exiled to Daming Prefecture." At this point, Jiang Yuxiao suddenly asked, "You are Lexi's savior?"

Nakata broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Yuxiao glanced at Le Xingxi standing outside. Although Le Xingxi stood there respectfully, her eyes were restlessly looking around. A gentle smile played on Jiang Yuxiao's lips.

"Xingxi ran up to me and begged me to spare your life! This was the first time she had ever pleaded with someone!"

"He said you were her savior, and he even brought General Yue along, which allowed me to shut up Prime Minister Jiang, who was determined to kill you, and successfully sentenced you to exile."

Zhongtian said nothing.

"I had no idea your relationship had become so good?"

Zhongtian didn't look up. Sometimes facial expressions betray one's emotions. She knew that His Majesty was suspicious. If she didn't answer well, her life might be in danger!

Nakata spoke very slowly, carefully considering each sentence in his mind before uttering it.

“Your Majesty, I once unintentionally saved Consort Yue’s life, and I never expected that Consort Yue would remember it to this day. I have nothing but respect for Consort Yue.”

At this point, a perfect blend of distress and happiness appeared on Nakata's face.

"My husband and I have a very deep affection for each other. Even when we go to the temple to burn incense, Mu Ning is not very willing!"

Hopefully, these words will dispel His Majesty's doubts and let him know that she and Xie Muning have a very deep relationship.

Zhongtian knelt upright on the ground and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I beg you to show some favor to my husband and Ping'er, considering the time I have served you."

Jiang Yuxiao nodded and agreed: "Don't worry. Since ancient times, there has been harmony between rulers and ministers. If you do your best to serve me, I will not let you down."

At this point, Jiang Yuxiao smiled slyly: "Zhongqing, to make up for my guilt a little, I have prepared a gift for you."

It wasn't until he was being escorted to the daimyo prefecture that Nakata understood what His Majesty's gift was!

His Majesty exiled Xia Lan and Zhong Tian to the same place, which implicitly allows Zhong Tian to settle scores and avenge wrongs along the way. It must be said that this gift is very much to Zhong Tian's liking.

When Nakata was released from Onion Prison in shackles, many people came to see him off.

Xia Muning stood there holding her child, her expression sorrowful. Jin Xia and the others looked reluctant to part with her, as did Xia's mother, who had been demoted to a commoner.

Xia's mother was old, and His Majesty, being considerate of her, only stripped her of her official rank and demoted her to a commoner. Her daughter was exiled. On the day of the verdict, Xia Mu insisted on pleading with His Majesty to go into exile with her daughter, but was driven out!

She ignored her daughter's wailing and walked up to Zhongtian. Having lost her official position, Xia's mother no longer had her former dignity; she was like an old woman. She suddenly knelt down in front of Zhongtian.

But Nakata just looked at her coldly. She had done something to harm Nakata, so she should kneel down and apologize to him!

“Madam Zhong, I have spoiled my child. She is stupid and arrogant. She will never survive on the road to exile.”

"All the evil deeds were committed by me, and all the retribution is what I deserve! I beg you, for the sake of our kinship, please take care of Lan'er on her journey."

Nakata watched coldly. What a great mother she was!

While gloating over his misdeeds, he also wanted to beg for Nakata's forgiveness after his crimes were exposed.

Did she even consider her a relative? When she publicly identified Nakata before His Majesty, did she ever think they were relatives?

Nakata is not a saint!

So she lowered her head and gave Xia Lan a threatening look. Xia Lan, who had been crying uncontrollably, immediately stopped. Satisfied, she whispered in her mother's ear...

"I won't let anyone else kill her; I'll kill her myself!"

Xia's mother suddenly felt weak all over and knelt on the ground.

Zhongtian knew clearly in his heart that he should not have the slightest sympathy for such evil people; so-called weakness was just a means of survival.

Every word they say and every act of sympathy they offer is a waste of your time!

She ignored them and looked at Xia Muning and the child in his arms with a cold expression. Her expression softened considerably, and she hugged Xia Muning!

"Mu Ning, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself!"

Xia Muning felt as if her heart was being torn apart!
