The emperor tried hard to suppress himself so that others would not notice that something was wrong with him. If you were closer, you could see the slight tremor on his face, which was his teeth chattering.

"It's not that I question Miss Yue, but I didn't hear anyone report it, so I asked one more question. I wonder what Miss Yue wants to explain?"

Damn Yue Qingrong, she actually used her magic power on him, but he couldn't resist.

"What explanation? Of course, the murderer must be brought to justice."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "So Miss Yue knows who the murderer is."

Emperor: Damn it, he can’t bear it anymore.

At this time, Gu Changfeng, who had been waiting behind the emperor, suddenly stepped forward, flicked the whisk in his hand, and poured a cup of tea for the emperor. "Your Majesty, drink some tea to relieve your internal heat."

Just as Gu Changfeng swung his whisk, the emperor felt his whole body lighten, and the heart-wrenching pain disappeared instantly.

The emperor glanced at Gu Changfeng, picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea.

As the heart-eating power was broken, Yue Qingrong felt a pain in her heart, and a fishy-sweet taste instantly surged into her throat, which she suppressed forcefully.

Yue Qingrong remained calm, then looked at Qiao Linxi beside her: "If I remember correctly, Princess Huaian also stayed at Yuelai Inn that night, right?"

Yue Lai Inn?

The prince's brain skipped a beat. How could it be related to Yuelai Inn?

"It turns out that the assassin that night was an envoy from East Vietnam."

Qiao Linxi stared at Yue Qingrong intently. This was the first time they had faced each other in such a long time. She knew that Yue Qingrong had been looking for the Qiankun Ding.

"What assassin? Princess Huai'an has misunderstood. Our Dongyue envoys just want to take back what belongs to Dongyue. Maybe their methods are wrong, but they have no intention of harming anyone."

"hehe!"

Qiao Linxi was so angry that she laughed: "How could your Dongyue's things be in our Dayue? It's obvious that you Dongyue want to steal our Dayue's things, and you're still saying it in a high-sounding way."

"Princess Huai'an was assassinated at Yuelai Inn? Is she injured?"

When the emperor heard that Qiao Linxi encountered an assassin, he instantly became nervous. This is his father Jin, so he has to be careful with him.

"Nothing happened, but this Yuelai Inn might not be a simple one. There might be other people behind it. That night, in addition to the two assassins with swords, there were also two men with shifty eyes. They put a knockout drug in my water."

Hearing Qiao Linxi say this, the emperor glanced at the prince meaningfully.

"Thanks to Manager Gu, I was able to escape danger."

Qiao Linxi was so depressed. She admitted that it was Gu Changfeng who saved her that night, but saying this meant that she and Gu Changfeng were in the same room that night.

The ancients had a feudal mindset, and men and women being in the same room was applauding love. Plus, Gu Changfeng said he wanted to marry her, so she probably would be locked up with Gu Changfeng for the rest of her life.

"Princess Huai'an, the thing in your hand is clearly from our Dongyue Kingdom. As everyone knows, every priest in our Dongyue Kingdom has his own magic weapon, and the position of priest is only passed down from daughter to daughter, not from son to daughter. Now the Dongyue priest is my grandmother, and I will be the next generation of priests. I need to get the magic weapon back to succeed the high priest. My magic weapon is quite special. It is a square tripod left in the world in ancient times. It can accommodate everything, but this thing fell into the hands of Princess Huai'an. So for the peace between the two countries, Princess Huai'an, please return the magic weapon of our Great Yue Kingdom."

When Yue Qingrong faced Qiao Linxi, Qiao Linxi just found it ridiculous.

She said, "Since you said it was left behind in the ancient times, it proves that it is not from your Dongyue country. It belongs to whoever is destined to have it. What reason do you have to say that I took your things? I want to say that you are a robber who wants to steal my things."

What a joke, the Qiankun Ding was obtained by Qiao Linxi, how could she give it to Yue Qingrong?

Yue Qingrong smiled again: "Princess Huai'an is not a priest of my Dongyue Kingdom. This thing is just a useless box in Princess Huai'an's hands. Does Princess Huai'an really want to become an enemy of my Dongyue Kingdom because of this useless box?"

"So you admit that you are a robber? It was you who wanted to steal my things, not me who stole your things?"

Yue Qingrong paused. How could this damned peasant girl confuse right and wrong like this? It was clearly she who took what belonged to her.

"You don't admit it? Last year in Lanqing City, I don't know who kidnapped my sister and threatened me. You didn't have the ability or the chance to get this thing, but I got it and you turned around and said I stole it from you. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Is it ridiculous?"

Yue Qingrong suddenly raised a strange smile and released the heart-eating power towards Qiao Linxi again. As long as Qiao Linxi died, the Qiankun Ding would be hers, and the position of high priest would also be hers.

Grandmother's wild granddaughter wants to inherit the priesthood, she can only dream about it. Yue Li, that bitch, is so protective of that bitch aunt who eloped, let them go to hell together.

"hiss!"

The sudden severe pain made Qiao Linxi unable to help but make a sound. She really didn't expect that Yue Qingrong was so powerful that he could attack her directly in the heart without touching her.

"Little tricks!"

A low voice sounded in Qiao Linxi's ears, and then the severe pain disappeared.

"Pfft..."

Yue Qingrong had just been attacked by Gu Changfeng when he cut off her heart-devouring power, and now she was attacked again by Qiao Linxi. She vomited blood.

"Ah, no, if you don't think it's funny, you don't have to spit blood and hit me. I'm so far away from you."

Although Qiao Linxi was told by the system that Yue Qingrong was like this because she was being attacked by her own heart-eating power, she still acted very surprised.

"you……"

"Is this how you treat envoys from the Great Viet? Aren't you afraid that the priests of the East Viet will retaliate against you?"

Yue Qingrong said this to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Qiao Linxi, and he finally understood how Qiao Linxi brought so much gold and silver from the distant Lanqing City to the capital. With such magical objects, what else did his Great Yue Kingdom have to fear?

"Wasn't it your country of Dongyue that provoked first? Miss Yue, please don't deny that you just wanted to... kill the king..."

The emperor knew that once he said this, it would mean that Dong Yue and Dai Viet would fall out.

But he couldn't bear it. He was a king, and a small envoy actually ran to the palace of the Great Yue Kingdom and acted insolently. If it weren't for Gu Changfeng, he might have vomited blood.

This tone is unbearable!

"What? Yue Qingrong wants to kill the emperor? Come, quickly, protect the emperor!"

The emperor's words successfully caused panic among everyone in the palace.

"Regicide!" Yue Qingrong laughed, and the blood at the corner of her mouth gave people a tingling sense of fear.

"Miss Yue, you don't think that you can be a tyrant just because you have learned some Heart Devouring Power, right?"

Gu Changfeng stood beside the emperor with a smile and looked at Yue Qingrong: "What? Is your Dongyue Kingdom finally unable to hold back and want to compete with Dayue Kingdom?"
