Qiao Xinyu's throat tightened.

There are countless answers to this question... So which one is what the emperor wants?

"It's hard to answer? Even harder than the one just now?" Liang Dedi immediately spoke up, without leaving her much time to think.

"It seems that there is something wrong with King Wei's death." Emperor Liang De's tone changed.

Qiao Xinyu said: "It's Xue Ning."

"What?" Liang Dedi frowned, "Who?"

Xue Qingyin didn't say anything more to her, so she could only rely on her own guess.

Qiao Xinyu calmed down, lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, with his sharp eyes and ears, must have known that Princess Xuan had been trapped in an enemy camp, and the person who kidnapped her claimed to be the captain of the Xingyuan Prefecture garrison..."

People from the Xingyuan Army?

Needless to say, they are Yao Minghui's subordinates.

It's no wonder that King Xuan showed no mercy and all he killed were killers.

Emperor Liang De had thoughts flowing in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked coldly: "What does that have to do with the death of King Wei?"

"Back to Your Majesty, King Wei lost the previous battle and was captured. Xue Ning, the eldest brother of Princess Xuan, as King Wei's assistant, had to enter the enemy's camp to rescue the Lord, and also to rescue his sister... At that time, I also

While searching for my father's whereabouts, I got involved when Zhaoliang, the king of the Meng clan, went to work." Qiao Xinyu said word by word.

What she told was completely true, but some parts were "hidden" in detail.

"Oh?" Emperor Liang De admired: "As expected of Qiao Teng's daughter, she has such courage and ability... If it's like what you said, Xue Ning must have also sneaked into the enemy camp later?"

"Yes. He rescued Princess Xuan and King Wei. Princess Xuan probably took pity on me for being pregnant and asked Xue Ning to take me with her. On the way to escape...Xue Ning killed King Wei." Qiao Xinyu spat out the last part.

With one sentence, I felt relieved immediately.

Emperor Liang De's eyes were slightly stern.

But this passage can fully prove that Qiao Xinyu did not lie from beginning to end.

Because Xue Ning's identity...only he and Xue Chengdong know.

The reason why Xue Ning made this move is not difficult to guess.

The only strange thing is...

"He killed your husband in front of you, but didn't kill you...why?" Emperor Liang's eyes fell coldly on Qiao Xinyu.

Qiao Xinyu said: "I... don't know."

"I don't know?"

"It's not that I'm trying to prevaricate Your Majesty, but... I really don't know. I don't even know why Xue Ning wanted to kill King Wei? I can only guess one or two..."

"Tell me your guess."

Qiao Xinyu stumbled and said: "Princess Wei knows about King Wei's admiration for Princess Xuan, and so do I...Xue Ning, as King Wei's assistant, had close contacts in the past, so of course she also knows. Maybe... Princess Xuan once complained to him

What hardships did he go through to make him eager to protect his sister?"

Of course it won't be this reason.

Emperor Liang De hid the coldness in his eyes.

"I... made a mistake?" Qiao Xinyu asked proactively.

Emperor Liang De said: "You haven't answered my question just now. Why did Princess Xuan help you?"

Qiao Xinyu hesitated and said, "You pity me for being pregnant?"

"You have never seen her make Princess Wei so angry that she would care about the lives of others?" Emperor Liang De said.

Qiao Xinyu showed hesitation again and could only say: "It can't be..."

"What is it?"

"Bet." Qiao Xinyu spat out two words.

It’s obvious what the bet means.

It was the child in Qiao Xinyu's belly who was being held captive.

The bet is that Qiao Xinyu will be able to take charge of the Wei Palace in the future.

After hearing this, Emperor Liang Dedi said with a serious expression: "If you think about her like this, shouldn't she help you?"

Qiao Xinyu quickly knelt down and said, "Xinyu says whatever comes to her mind. She speaks without restraint. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"You have not offended me. What sins can I forgive you for?" Liang Dedi paused and then said: "Do you still think that the reason why she treats you like this is because your father is Qiao Teng, who is Yizhou Jiedu?

How can we support King Xuan in the fiefdom in the future?"

He was wary of King Xuan and his wife, but if others did the same, he would become unhappy again.

Qiao Xinyu really couldn't see through Emperor Liang De's thoughts, so she could only say in a trembling voice: "Xinyu, the heart of a villain can judge the heart of a gentleman."

Emperor Liang De said calmly: "It's not surprising that you think so. After all, Xue Ning also killed your husband."

Qiao Xinyu raised her head cautiously: "Then Xue Ning..."

Emperor Liang De said: "Look, you are a brave and careful smart woman. Although you doubt Xue Qingyin's intentions, you dare to take her advice. You can travel thousands of miles to find your father and return to Beijing alone. You are better than Princess Wei.

too much."

Qiao Xinyu said repeatedly: "I don't dare."

Emperor Liang De stood up and ordered the chamberlain beside him to help her up again.

He said: "Why don't you dare? Princess Wei was sharp and jealous, treated the palace people harshly, and failed to protect her children. Now that King Wei is dead, not only does she not feel sad at all, she only fights for power and profit. It is difficult for her to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family."

"You can go to Jiao Feng Villa on the outskirts of the city to raise your baby in peace." Emperor Liang De's words determined her next fate.

This is to prevent Princess Wei from attacking her...

Qiao Xinyu bowed and thanked her, and then was respectfully sent out by the chamberlain.

It was obviously the hot summer wind blowing towards her face.

Qiao Xinyu shivered unconsciously, and her back was wet.

That's sweat.

It's cold sweat.

The emperor said she was smart and asked her not to ask about "Xue Ning".

That day Xue Qingyin said that he was not her biological elder brother.

And "Xue Ning" chose to attack King Wei again. Thinking of the strange attitude of today's emperor... his identity is about to be revealed.

Qiao Xinyu shuddered again and stopped thinking about it.

At least it seems that she has successfully survived this disaster in front of the emperor, but I don't know where Xue Qingyin is... how to deal with it next?

She really listened to Xue Qingyin's words.

Then has Xue Qingyin ever thought about herself?

Qiao Xinyu suppressed the anxiety in her chest and walked out of the palace step by step.

"My father actually kept you talking for so long." Liu Yuerong's voice sounded outside the palace door.

She is waiting for Qiao Xinyu.

Qiao Xinyu said in a cold tone: "It's just that my father is concerned about Yizhou's affairs."

Liu Yuerong sneered: "You are so brave, do you know what kind of punishment is waiting for you next?"

The emperor could not punish her because she had an orphan in her womb.

But what if the courtiers find out?

What awaits Qiao Xinyu in the future is nothing more than the ending of losing her mother and leaving her son...

Qiao Xinyu moved her lower lip.

Before she could speak, the palace attendant said: "Where are you going, Concubine Qiao? We should go to another village."

"What other village?" Liu Yuerong's expression changed slightly, "She won't return to Prince Wei's Mansion?"

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Liang De was not in a hurry to call out those princes and nobles again.

They've been waiting most of the time anyway, so what's the harm in asking them to wait a little longer?

Emperor Liang De said: "Grind the ink."

The waiter came forward confused and did as he was told.

It only took about half a stick of incense to write a letter in Liang De's own hand, and then handed it to someone else, saying: "Send to Yizhou quickly."

"But in the hands of His Highness King Xuan?"

"No, leave it in the hands of Princess Xuan."
