e of your uncle! Get rid of these thoughts of hers. You should marry Xiao Yufu!""I will not marry Xiao Yufu!""You won't marry her You ruined her reputation and still refuse to marry her! Do you think..."I admit that I used to have feelings for Fleur, but ever since I learned that the one who saved me before was Gerl, I've decided to let her go..." First love is beautiful, so beautiful that it's hard to let go, even knowing there's no future.
"You'll see through Xiao Yufu's true colors eventually!" Ning Hua snorted.
Later, I found out that her mouth was also blessed!
Xiao Yu's song returned to the palace safely, without any danger. Fortunately, Qian Ting Xuan hadn't come back yet. She secretly let out a breath of relief and quickly woke up the shadow guard she had drugged unconscious.
"Your Majesty, what is this" The two shadow guards awoke and looked at Xiao Yuge before them, as if they had just woken up from a dream.
“It seems quite noisy outside, I think I’ll go take a look.” Xiao Yuge was acting very convincingly. To the two guards, it seemed like only a short while had passed, but in reality, several hours had already gone by.
"My lady, the Wangye instructed you to stay in the courtyard. Please return now and don't put me in a difficult position."
“Your Highness is truly annoying!” Xiao Yu Ge pouted like a child, unwillingly hopping back into the courtyard, while the two Shadow Guards quickly hid themselves aside. As for what just happened, they seemed oblivious to it all.
Xiao Yu Ge returned to her room, lying down silently. No matter how many things changed in this life, her determination for revenge would not change. Whether Ning Zhi Yuan was alive or dead, she didn't care. However, before he died, she had some questions she wanted to ask him, hoping there was still a chance.
The Emperor reviewed Ning Fengzhi all night.
Looking at Ning Zhiyuan, whose hair was disheveled and nearly maddened before him, the emperor's brows furrowed: "Ning Zhiyuan, from Emperor Taizu to me, I have never treated you unfairly. Why do you rebel" Ning Zhiyuan had long harbored rebellious intentions. He had also known it for a long time, but out of respect for Emperor Taizu, he had never exposed it, and even agreed to Ning Zhiyuan's request, allowing Ning Feng to serve as the Minister of Justice. But why did Ning Zhiyuan still rebel
In full armor, Ning Zhiyuan looked a little more spirited than usual. However, his messy hair and the bloodstains on his armor made him look quite disheveled. When he arrived before the emperor, he smiled, a smile that was both helpless and resentful: “Why is it that the families of Qian Ning fought side by side to establish this country, yet the one who sits upon the throne is someone from the Qian family Our Ning family can only be granted the title of king, and even recruiting soldiers or purchasing horses earns us suspicion of plotting rebellion. My father was driven to despair by your actions, and my beloved woman left me because of you. I refuse to accept this! The victor takes all, I blame no one, only fate for being so cruel. If I were the one sitting on that throne today, you would be just like me.”
"It's a pity, even today, the one sitting in this position is still me!" The emperor was quite the witty one.
"I am only unlucky, if it wasn't for someone secretly sabotaging my plans and trapping my 100,000 troops outside the city, do you think, with just your measly 20,000 troops within the imperial city, you could still sit comfortably on top" Ning Zhiyuan couldn't understand either. He had laid out everything perfectly, so where did things go wrong, causing his 100,000 troops outside the city to be trapped.
He certainly couldn't know that Qian Tingxuan was the master of Leiting Pavilion, the one who held the red Three Kingdoms Order and could destroy a country with a wave of his hand. With Qian Tingxuan there, he was destined for only failure.
The tide had turned. Despite Ning Zhiyuan's unwillingness to accept defeat, he could only concede. Immediately, the emperor issued an order: the Ning family would be executed for treason, with nine generations wiped out. They were to be beheaded at noon on the third day! Not one of them was spared. Moreover, Ning Feng and Ning Hua were placed under city-wide wanted orders.
The once glorious Ning Wangfu has fallen from grace, leaving people sighing with regret.
As Xiao Yuge had predicted, the streets were plastered with wanted posters for Ning's siblings the next day, along with notices announcing that those involved in the rebellion would be executed at noon three days later.
Last night, the entire imperial city was thrown into chaos. Many people died, and even after cleaning up the blood, the stench remained heavy. The streets and alleys that were once bustling and lively were eerily quiet today, with only the sound of the wind passing through. It looked like a dead city.
Chu Tianqi invited Xiao Yuge to the Ba Yue Ting.
"Ge'er, the person who saved Ning Feng last night was you, wasn't it" Chu Tianqi asked as soon as they met.
"Yes!" Xiao Yuge also answered calmly.
"Ge'er, you're foolish! Ning Feng is now a fugitive. Harboring them means sharing their crime. Tell me where they are, or when the Emperor finds out, the consequences will be dire."
"Now only you know this, you can go report me." Xiao Yuge didn't give him a good face. It was he who killed Lou Lan, she wouldn't forgive him.
"Ge'er, you know I can't. I just care about you." Seeing her like this, Chu Tianqi's heart felt like it was being pierced by something.
“Concerned about me You killed my only friend, leaving me alone again. Do you call that concern” Xiao Yu Ge still couldn’t let it go. If she wasn’t unable to kill him now, she would definitely cut him into pieces to appease Lou Lan’s spirit in heaven.
"I'm sorry..." Chu Tianqi's eyes dimmed, he knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't get over what had happened to Loulan.
“Don't say sorry to me, I won't forgive you!” Xiao Yuge didn't want to cry in front of him, but tears still streamed down uncontrollably: “I once thought that even if I lost my home, I still had friends, and you. I wouldn't be lonely. I even thought that one day, you could take me to wander and roam. If you got married, I would be your obedient little sister. If you didn't get married, we would depend on each other forever. You hurt Loulan, but I still chose to forgive you because Loulan is my good friend, and you are my beloved brother. You both are the most important people to me. I hope you are happy, but you… you killed her…”
"Ge'er, I'm so sorry...," Chu Tianqi's heart had long been corroded by regret. He wished he could go back to the beginning, hating himself for drinking too much and making a mistake. If not for that, he and Ge'er could have been together. But now, it was his own hands that destroyed all that beauty. How could he not be filled with remorse and hatred
"I told you, don't apologize to me, I won't forgive you! Now that you know it was me who saved Ning Feng, are you going to take me to the authorities or pretend you know nothing" Xiao Yuge didn't want to waste words with him. She was afraid that if she looked at him one more time, she would lose control and kill him.
"Wait!" Chu Tianqi saw her leaving and hurried after her.
"Don't follow me, I don't want to see you!"
"Ge'er, tomorrow is Mother's birthday, will you come" Chu Tianqi knew he had no right to keep her, he just hoped she could forgive him. That way, his heart would feel a little better.轉碼失敗！請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀！
