The guards rushed up, handed over their weapons, and tied them both up.
Jiang Nian thought that they were not the only ones who broke into the palace at that time, so he ordered: "Go and search to see if there are any other accomplices?"
Not long after, the guard came and reported: "Princess, we have searched the whole house and there is no one else."
Jiang Nian knew that Xiao Chengyi's accomplices must have run away, but catching Xiao Chengyi and A Lanyi was enough for her to take credit.
So, he took the people out of the Second Princess's Mansion and returned to the palace to recover.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter.
In the palace hall, Duan Qingli was wearing bright yellow brocade clothes and sitting on the throne.
Jiang Nian walked in, bowed respectfully and said, "Mother, I have fulfilled my mission and captured the assassin who destroyed my ancestral temple."
Duan Qingli's eyes lit up: "Bring it up."
The tied-up Xiao Chengyi and A Lanyi were escorted up.
Duan Qingli's eyes fell on Xiao Chengyi. She looked at the man who had become a prisoner and asked: "Are you the regent of Nanyue?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyes and glanced over coldly: "Since your majesty knows, you still dare to arrest me? Aren't you afraid of ruining the diplomatic relations between Nanyue and Southern Xinjiang?"
Duan Qingli sneered: "How brave you are to pretend to be the regent of Nanyue in order to sow discord between my southern Xinjiang and Nanyue."
After saying that, she chuckled and asked: "Tell me, if Guruo is convicted on this basis, will Nanyue be in trouble?
Your majestic regent sneaked into our southern territory, destroyed my ancestral temple and bewitched my three princesses in southern territory. You didn't take our southern territory seriously at all.
If you came here openly as an envoy, Gu Zhen wouldn't dare do anything to you? But since you came here secretly... I can only blame you for seeking death."
She made a choice and said in a provocative tone: "You think so? Regent?"
Xiao Chengyi's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "So, Your Majesty is determined to become my enemy?"
Duan Qingli curled her lips: "I just dealt with the assassin who destroyed my ancestral temple in accordance with the laws of southern Xinjiang."
Ah Lanyi heard this and said hurriedly: "It was my idea. If mother wants to deal with it, then deal with me. Please also ask mother to let the regent go. Once the regent is killed, it will bring disaster to southern Xinjiang. Please
Mother, think twice.”
Duan Qingli looked at A Lanyi, with a complicated look in her eyes, and said, "A Lan Yi, you disappoint me so much!"
A Lanyi lowered her head and said: "Yes, my son failed to live up to my mother's expectations. All these things were caused by my son. If my mother wants to blame me, I blame him alone. I also asked my mother to put the regent and Mu in consideration of the overall situation."
girl."
Duan Qingli was furious. She slammed the table and yelled, "Shut up. Do you really think I dare not deal with you?"
Ah Lanyi knelt on the ground and cried: "I don't understand what the regent did wrong? He just wants to find his beloved, and I just want everything to return to its original position.
Mother, I am willing to serve King Gu for the rest of my life and not do anything else. I also ask mother not to embarrass the regent and let Miss Mu go!"
"Enough!"
Duan Qingli was furious: "Mu Yun'an is my Southern Xinjiang Saint Queen. She is from Southern Xinjiang and is destined to protect Southern Xinjiang. Gu will not let anyone take her away. If you dare to intercede for them again, Gu will
I will cut off your tongue."
Ah Lanyi still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Chengyi, who said: "Third princess, there is no need to say more. Thank you for sticking to the justice in your heart and accompanying me on this journey. Let me handle the rest alone."
!”
Duan Qingli snorted: "Does the Regent think you can still leave alive?"
