Xiao Jialan's expression changed after hearing this. Damn, her identity was exposed!
What should the Ye family do? Will they be implicated by her?
While she was thinking about it, the guards had already captured her, and she did not struggle but asked: "Your Majesty, are you just arresting me, or are you arresting everyone in the Duke's palace?"
The man was the leader of the Yulin Guards in the palace, his name was Lu Zhao. He said: "Everyone in the Duke's palace has been imprisoned for review."
Xiao Jialan's heart skipped a beat, and the nightmare from the past came to mind again. They had been planning for so long, why couldn't anything change?
What went wrong? She was obviously very careful. Could it be that she was too greedy and had to renew her relationship with Yuan Chen to end up like this?
The guards escorted Xiao Jialan out of the Duke's mansion, while the rest of the Ye family were all imprisoned.
For a time, the capital was abuzz, rumors spread, and even the sky changed.
Lu Zhao escorted Xiao Jialan into the palace and saw Emperor Beichen sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, looking majestic.
She stood still and looked at the people on the dragon chair. She still remembered that she was standing here in her previous life, but that was after she and Yuan Chen got married. She paid homage to her father as her daughter-in-law. At that time, Emperor Beichen looked kind.
, even though he criticized her a little, he did not embarrass her.
Now, she is a prisoner, Nanyue's workman, and a woman close to his son!
Emperor Beichen asked in a slow voice: "You are the princess of Nanyue Wei Palace. Your surname is Xiao and not Ye, right?"
Xiao Jialan knew that without complete evidence, Emperor Beichen would not be able to arrest her, so it was better to admit it than to be exposed.
She said: "Yes, my name is Xiao Jialan and I am the princess of Nanyue!"
Emperor Beichen slapped the table and said angrily: "How dare you pretend to be a lady from the Duke's palace, approach the prince, and bewitch him? You are simply a witch!"
Xiao Jialan wanted to say that she and Yuan Chen really loved each other, but the current situation made her calm down. If she said that, Yuan Chen's crime of colluding with Nan Yue would be confirmed.
She can't let Yuan Chen bear such a stigma again. If it can't be changed, then let her bear all this, as long as Yuan Chen can be protected.
Xiao Jialan clasped her hands tightly and said: "Yes, I am here to confuse Yuan Chen. He has been kept in the dark by me. Your Majesty will kill him if he wants. However, Yuan Chen and everyone in the Duke's mansion were all deceived by me, so why not?"
I hope Your Majesty will let them go and only punish me!"
Emperor Beichen snorted and said, "Do you think the Ye family can get away with it if you say that?"
He held two letters and said in a cold voice: "In the letter you wrote to your brother, you made it clear that the Ye family knew your identity from the beginning.
And my good prince, I want to use the entire country of Beichen to recruit you!"
Xiao Jialan looked at the letter in Emperor Beichen's hand, her expression changed drastically, and she said, "Why is this letter here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice: "I presented it to my father!"
Xiao Jialan looked at the person coming out from behind the screen, and it turned out to be Yuan Hao!
She took a breath, looked at him with an incredulous expression and said, "Why is it you?"
Xiao Jialan reacted and asked: "Where did you get this letter?"
Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank your bodyguard Xiao Ce. He recognized the falcon you sent the message and intercepted these two letters, so I was able to learn this huge secret.
If it hadn't been discovered in time, the country of Beichen would have fallen into the hands of Nanyue.
You, Nanyue, are so vicious that you sent a woman to seduce my royal brother and make him fall head over heels for you, even to the point of not caring about the inheritance of your ancestors!"
