Mu An's tearful voice and sincere tone seemed to be able to speak the truth.
"Prince Anxian, don't speak nonsense!" Su Jinxi panicked, "I, Su Jinxi, am still disdained to use such a despicable method!"
"You, the one who drugged me!" Mu An pointed at Su Jinxi, and at this moment, all that was left was for Su Jinxi to do, "Royal Brother, this woman is sinister and evil, she even attacked Second Young Miss Su Family yesterday. I only scolded her a few times, and she kept it in her heart, afraid that I would cancel the marriage agreement.
With that, in order to make it more realistic, Mu An took out his sword, and ruthlessly carved a bloody mark on the center of his palm.
"Alright, Mu An, there is no need to prove it this way, we trust in your character." Mu Lingyi's tone became a little more gentle.
After all, in the past, Mu An would always be respectful to him, so he wouldn't have the guts to do something so outrageous.
Moreover, this matter was of great importance. If they continued to pursue this matter, it might cause the Royal family to lose face.
Rather than that, it would be better to just close one eye and blame all of it on Su Jinxi. Compared to the imperial family's reputation, sacrificing a woman was not much.
So, Mu Lingyi asked Su Jinxi: "Su Jinxi, do you still have anything else to say?"
"Your majesty, my daughter has been wrongly accused!" Su Jinxi was at a loss. This time, not only did he lose his dignity, he might even lose his life.
"Your majesty!" The Mrs Zhang at the side could no longer bear to watch and knelt in front of Mu Lingyi to plead for mercy, "Qianxue is usually well-behaved and sensible, and would never do something so outrageous.
"Is that so?" Mu Lingyi gave a cold snort, but he did not quite believe it, "How come I've heard that Su Jinxi's personality was spicy and willful? And yesterday, he even injured the second miss of the Su Family in public. Isn't that so, Su Biyue? "
Su Biyue took a step forward and pretended to look kind. In fact, he only wanted to add fuel to the fire, "Your Majesty, Little Sister Summoning Xi is still young, it's normal for her to not know anything.
Hearing that, Mu Lingyi became even more angry: Such a vicious and shameless woman, she is not worthy to be married into our imperial family. Men, send Su Jinxi to the Sky Prison, wait for his orders!
"Your majesty, your majesty, spare me!"
"Ning Xue!" Su Yuanqing pulled Mrs Zhang who wanted to plead, as if he was also afraid of something.
He knew in his heart that in this matter, there had to be a person whose master was responsible for it. And as a duke, if Mu An committed such a crime, it would be equivalent to discrediting the entire imperial family.
Therefore, this crime could only be borne by Su Jinxi, it was useless no matter who he tried to persuade him.
Su Jinxi thought that he was safe, but Mu Lingyi did not let him off, "Take Prince Anxian down too. Imprison him temporarily and think about it before he face the wall!"
"Yes sir!"
"Royal Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Mu An panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"That should be enough, Prince Anxian!" Mu Lingxi couldn't help but ask, "If I can keep you alive, then you can be satisfied, but what else do you want?"
Mu An was shocked by her words. Indeed, if he was not Prince Anxian, he would have been killed by the Emperor. Thinking about it, his face turned green, and he did not dare say another word.
"Sigh, what a sin!" Mu Lingyi slowly sighed, he turned and looked at Helian Yunqian and asked: "General Helian, tell me, how should I handle these two?"
"What to do with the Emperor is a matter for the emperor, so this subject doesn't have any opinions." Helian Yunqian did not have the mind to bother with such complicated matters, so he might as well just ignore it.
Receiving such an answer, Mu Lingyi felt like he had been given a beating, and felt a little awkward. He could only ask Mu Lingxi again: "Ling Xi, what do you think?"
"I feel that if that woman causes any trouble in the palace, she must be severely punished!" "As for Prince Anxian, there's no avoiding punishment, how about this?" Mu Lingxi was not courteous at all, "As for Prince Anxian, there's something wrong with that, punishment can't be avoided, why don't you punish Su Jinxi to wander the streets and imprison him for life, and then punish him with a year's worth of salary.
Mu Lingyi nodded his head, he was satisfied with the way things were being handled, "Un, then let's do it according to Chendi's decision."
Then, he sighed, unwilling to stay here any longer. "I'm tired. Let's go back and rest. Everyone, please disperse!"
With that, he left this annoying place.
Su Xiruo stood at the side the whole time with a smile on his face, as if he had fulfilled a huge wish.
Su Jinxi, oh Su Jinxi, now you finally have the retribution you deserve.
"Su Xiruo!" Mrs Zhang seemed to have no place to vent her anger. She walked forward, grabbed Su Xiruo's arm, and almost pinched it to the point of bleeding her entire arm. Are you happy that you've finally achieved your goal? "Then, from now on, aren't you going to pay with your life for your sister's!"
Su Xiruo frowned slightly. He was a little impatient in the face of this crazy woman. Just as he was about to attack, Mrs Zhang had already been pushed away by a force.
Helian Yunqian personally acted.
"Men, take him down!" Helian Yunqian gave the order indifferently, and captured Mrs Zhang who was a little crazy.
"General Helian, show mercy!" Su Yuanqing seemed to be anxious and hurriedly went forward to plead for mercy.
"Su Yuanqing, the consequences of your daughter's actions today are her own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If your Su Family dares to behave atrociously again, I will kill every person I see!" Helian Yunqian stared at him and warned him coldly.
Everyone held their breaths, they knew that Helian Yunqian was truly angry.
Ordinarily, his words would always be fluent and not painful at all. Yet today, he actually spoke the truth for the sake of a woman.
That powerful aura made it so that for a moment, Su Yuanqing did not dare to make a sound, much less refute.
"Clear the field!" He coldly ordered, completely ignoring Su Yuanqing.
The people inside the hall were gradually evacuated and the entire palace banquet was considered to be having a bad time.
Su Xiruo's objective had already been achieved, so he found a time when no one was paying attention to him. He secretly took Qing Yuan away, and did not want to continue joining in on the fun.
"Xiruo." Just as she arrived at the entrance, a familiar yet low voice called out to her.
Su Xiruo turned his head, only to see Helian Yunqian slowly walking towards her. His heart was inexplicably nervous.
"General Helian, thank you for helping me out earlier." Su Xiruo took the initiative to speak, but unconsciously took a step back.
"You can even plot such a big scheme yourself, why are you afraid of me alone?" Helian Yunqian just could not understand what this girl was thinking.
Hearing her words, Su Xiruo mustered up his courage and looked him straight in the eye: "That's right, I am afraid of the General Helian's eyes, I can see through anything."
She clearly felt that she had already planned this matter with Su Jinxi thoroughly and fooled everyone, but she couldn't fool his eyes. This was the most frightening thing.
"If I really wanted to make things difficult for you, I would have exposed you just now." Helian Yunqian walked a little closer, his tone light.
"Just what …"
Before he even finished speaking, that exquisite face came close to him, causing Su Xiruo to be at a loss as to what to do.
"My heart belongs to you, Xiruo." These five simple words expressed all of his emotions. With a magnetic voice, he said in a serious tone, "Therefore, I naturally won't do anything to hurt you."
Su Xiruo's mouth opened a little, as though he was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, was he confessing to him? Didn't I already explain it all to him, but doesn't he understand?
"Then just give up on that thought. I don't have any interest in you." Su Xiruo's answer was straightforward. Hence, she decided to explain everything to him clearly.
"Whether you're interested in me is your own business, and has nothing to do with me." Helian Yunqian's tone did not sound anxious at all.
His subtext was, "It doesn't matter if you like me or not, as long as I like you that much."
What exactly was this fellow thinking in his heart?
