Now is the best time to eliminate Shangguan Xi. Take this opportunity to completely expose Shangguan Xi's crimes in front of the emperor.

Shangguan Jin also saw this opportunity, he knelt on his knees and said to the Northern Xi Emperor sincerely: "Father, I know that I still have many shortcomings. I have been working hard to improve myself over the years and have never dared to slack off.

However, I never expected that my own brother would covet my position as the crown prince so much that he would even use my father's safety to get rid of me. Fortunately, my father is safe today, otherwise I would be blamed for it. "

He deliberately emphasized Shangguan Xi's assassination, further arousing the anger of the Northern Xi Emperor.

The Emperor of Beixi stared at Shangguan Xi, his sharp eyes flashing with anger, disappointment and grief.

In the end, all these emotions turned into dead silence. He was completely disappointed in this son whom he once had high hopes for, and his heart was dead.

Originally, he had planned to leave some protection for Shangguan Xi in the abdication edict, but now it seems that this grace is no longer needed because this son will not survive today.

"Father..." Shangguan Xi looked at the emperor's cold eyes, and a chill suddenly surged in her heart.

He knew that his end had come and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not save the situation.

Shangguan Xi knew that cold look very well; it was the same look his father had when he decided to depose his eldest brother.

At this moment, he realized that he was about to be abandoned.

This was the only thought that flashed through Shangguan Xi's mind. He had never thought that there would be a situation like today. His throat was dry and his pale lips trembled slightly.

"The fourth prince Shangguan Xi has committed an unforgivable crime by plotting evil and slandering the crown prince. From now on, he will be stripped of his status as a prince, removed from the clan register, and immediately sent to the custody of the Inner Court. He will be beheaded at Caishikou in three days, and his head will be hung at the city gate for public display."

When the Beixi Emperor's voice fell, Shangguan Xi's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, looking at his father with a pale face.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and shouted anxiously: "Father, I was deceived and used by someone! It was Jun Li, everything was Jun Li's idea, otherwise how could I do such a rebellious thing?"

He struggled, trying to break free from the guards who came to arrest him, but it was all in vain.

Fear gripped him, immobilizing him.

When he was forcibly dragged out of the hall, he kept cursing Jun Li.

"Father, if what fourth brother said is true, then the prince of Xichen cannot be left behind either." Shangguan Jin turned to the emperor and said.

"He is the crown prince of Xichen..." The Emperor of Beixi frowned as he considered Jun Li's identity.

If he is executed lightly, it may lead to revenge from Xichen.

"As long as he didn't die in our Beixi territory, Xichen can't say anything." Jiang Xue reminded.

Her words suddenly enlightened the emperor, "Okay!"

With a deep sound, an imperial decree was issued, and the entire Hu Yin City seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

"Your Highness, hurry up." In a secret passage, Jun Li and his entourage were rushing towards the exit.

After learning that Shangguan Xi was imprisoned, he immediately led his men to escape through the secret tunnel in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The end of the secret passage is near the city gate of Huyin City. As long as he passes through the city gate, he will be safe.

Shangguan Xi is a person who always likes to drag others to death together. Jun Li is very clear about this.

Just as he expected, as soon as he entered the secret passage, he heard a noisy searching sound outside.

After running in the secret passage for a while, I finally saw the exit. Just when I was happy, suddenly a cold light broke through the air.

A guard fell down.

Soon after, others fell beside him.

"Your Highness Junli, where are you going? Do you think you can escape like this?" A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. Jiang Xue stood there with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Instead, it revealed a coldness.

When Jun Li was planning all this, did he ever think that this would be the result? Her smile became more obvious when she saw Jun Li's surprised expression.

As the secret passage was narrow, the guards could not hide, and soon Jun Li was the only one left.

"How do you know this place?" Even Shangguan Xi didn't know about this secret passage, so how could she find it?

Jiang Xue nodded slightly, signaling the accompanying guards to withdraw, leaving only the personal guard Tie Yi behind. She walked slowly towards Jun Li, gently stroked behind his ear, and with a little force, took off the camouflage mask in front of him.

A familiar and beautiful face appeared before his eyes, surprising Jun Li.

"Xiao...Xiaoxue..."

He didn't expect that the woman he had plotted against was actually Jiang Xue, whom he had been looking for for nearly half a year.

"Long time no see, Jun Li. Since you already know about the past life, you should also know that Linglong Pavilion has spies all over the place. It is not difficult for Linglong Pavilion to find this secret passage."

"how do you know……"

"How do you know that you already know about my past life? In this world, there is no impenetrable wall. You even learned about my rebirth through the priests of Xichen Country. Is there any secret that cannot be dug out?"

Jiang Xue said: "Jun Li, let's settle the grudge between you and me today."

"what!"

Blood splattered, and before Jun Li could react, the golden needle in Jiang Xue's hand had already pierced deeply into the gap between his kneecaps.

The severe pain made Jun Li groan softly. This kind of pain in the bones was far more unbearable than a knife wound.

Big beads of cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He clenched his teeth, tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, endured the pain, and looked up at Jiang Xue who was standing high above him.

Jiang Xue leaned over and grabbed Jun Li's chin, lifted it up with force, and sneered, "Our hatred has long been formed, and the past is not over yet. In this life, you still use all means. Especially the heart-eating poison you planted on me in Yujing, tampering with my memory, and trying to use me to deal with Yun Che. I still remember this stab in the back."

Hearing this, Tieyi suddenly became alert.

"You were the one who stabbed me on the tower at the west gate?"

Tieyi questioned angrily and drew out his long sword to point at Junli.

At first, I only saw the princess' hand on the hilt of the knife, and I thought it was the princess's doing. Today I found out that it was Jun Li.

Tieyi felt a surge of apology towards Jiang Xue. He felt extremely heavy when he thought of his previous disrespectful behavior towards her.

"Humph, so what if I stabbed him? Xiao Zhan took away my sweetheart, and this hatred is irreconcilable."

Jun Li faced Tieyi and answered contemptuously.

"She is the princess of Prince Gong's Mansion and the wife of His Highness. When did she become yours?"

Tie Yi pushed, and the tip of the knife pierced into Jun Li's shoulder: "This is to seek justice for His Highness."

As the knife was pulled out, blood gushed out.

Jun Li fell forward due to losing his support and fell face down on the ground.

Jiang Xue took a few steps back and looked at him coldly.

The smile on her face disappeared, and she looked at Jun Li as if he was a dying beast, "Jun Li, go to hell."
