The water in the pool always looks good when it is wrinkled.

The bad guys always have to be dealt with before you can feel at ease.

As Murong Xuan finished his words, Xiao Lie's face turned slightly darker.

"Your Majesty! There is something else going on here! No matter how cruel I am, I cannot harm my own flesh and blood!"

Xiao Lie felt vaguely uneasy, especially now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had intervened!

He thought he was just dealing with a female official named Zhao. Compared with himself, a general with great military achievements, the female official Zhao was alone and looked insignificant.

But now it seems that it is not the case.

Lin Xilan raised her eyebrows.

"So General Xiao means that this prince is lying?"

Murong Xuan's face darkened in an instant.

"Let's not talk about what the Xiao and Zhao families are up to for now. I am a prince who only cares about the people, but you have said that I have ulterior motives. General Xiao, you have to think carefully before you speak!"

Murong Xuan closed the folding fan in his hand with a swish, and his face darkened little by little.

Xiao Lie became even more annoyed when he heard this!

This prince is so hateful!

She is just a woman, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so stubborn!

"I dare not!"

Xiao Lie kowtowed, his voice filled with sadness.

Sad.

Lin Xilan caught another hint of something wrong.

"If that's the case, then what is General Xiao's purpose in meeting His Majesty today?"

she asked.

However, Xiao Lie was obviously hostile towards her, and he didn't even respond when Lin Xilan asked him questions.

Lin Xilan laughed.

She looked at Murong Yu.

"Your Majesty! Why don't we call the person involved forward and ask him about it?"

Everyone's face changed when they heard this.

Murong Xuan laughed.

"That's right! There's no point in us arguing about this matter. Wouldn't it be much simpler if the person involved were here?"

"Father, I beg you to allow Xiao Yue to come to the palace to see you!"

Murong Yu frowned and looked at the noisy crowd.

Finally, his eyes fell on Lin Xilan.

"What did Lady Zhao say?"

Although Lin Xilan didn't know why Murong Yu insisted on asking her, she still smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I also think it should be so!"

"Miss Zhao, you are going too far! Could it be that you knew that my daughter was missing, so you did this on purpose?"

"What?"

This almost shocked Lin Xilan.

"Xiao Yue is missing?"

She hurriedly looked at Murong Xuan.

She was ambushed that day and taken away by Beichen Yuan. The situation was unclear afterwards. It was only then that she realized that Xiao Yue was missing.

Murong Xuan also nodded.

"She insisted on returning to the Xiao family."

The marriage between the Xiao and Zhao families is obviously fake. Xiao Yue knows in her heart that the Xiao family is a fire pit, but she still chooses to jump in. What can Murong Xuan do?

He can only make it happen.

Lin Xilan glanced at Murong Xuan strangely, and then looked at Xiao Lie, who looked like a kind father crying.

Ah.

Ha ha ha.

Xiao Lie's purpose is obvious!

The other party first pretended to be so angry that she vomited blood, and then used it to lead to the disappearance of the eldest daughter. She pointed out in every aspect that everything was her plan, and even hinted in front of the emperor that the eldest daughter of the general's mansion was murdered by her...

Every move in this chess game is quite steady.

Nonsence!

This person's cunning... is so deep!

"General Xiao, are you sure that Xiao Yue is missing?" Lin Xilan curled his lips and sneered.

Xiao Lie looked at her with gloomy eyes.

"Whether he is missing or not, doesn't Miss Zhao know it?"

cut.

This round was indeed aimed at me.

At this moment.

Zhao Gongyun knelt on the ground without saying a word.

It seemed that he was shocked by Lin Xilan's fighting ability.

Thinking of this, the woman's lips curled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty! Please allow the daughter of the Xiao family to see you!"

Several people.

Several glances.

They all fell on Lin Xilan.

The way she looked at her... was as if she was a fool!

Especially Xiao Lie, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yue...

She is now a female ghost in the deep well in the backyard of the Xiao Mansion!

I'm afraid I can't come!

Murong Yu, wearing a shining imperial robe, sat on the throne. He frowned slightly and then agreed.

He wanted to see how this female official Zhao, whom he admired quite a lot, managed to survive!

The Xiao and Zhao families also looked at her with mockery, watching her fall into the trap step by step.

The atmosphere was terrifying and depressing.

Murong Xuan glanced at Lin Xilan worriedly.

"you……"

"rest assured."

She never fights a battle she's not sure of!

The atmosphere in the imperial study was extremely tense, and everyone was waiting to laugh at her.

The door of the imperial study opened wide, and the next moment, an extremely embarrassed figure appeared among the crowd with staggering but firm steps.

"How can it be!"

Xiao Lie also exclaimed when he saw the person!

The Zhao family members' faces changed drastically!

Especially Zhao Gongyun, his face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost!

That Xiao Yue was pushed down by him and Rou'er themselves!

They made sure that Xiao Yue was dead before leaving!

"She's fake! She must be fake!"

Zhao Gongyun pointed at Xiao Yue who was stumbling towards him and yelled like a madman!

"Zhao Gongyun! You defy the emperor's authority! You are disrespectful in front of the palace! You are crazy! Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you?"

Lin Xilan scolded!

She stood in the middle of the imperial study with one hand behind her back, and there was a sharp flash in her eyes!

I wanted to let the Xiao and Zhao families go for now, but they thought I was easy to bully!

Since you want to kill us all, don't blame me for being cruel!

Then, Lin Xilan turned around and saluted.

"Your Majesty! The Xiao and Zhao families secretly conspired to swap wives on the wedding day, marrying off a concubine instead of a legitimate wife. This is a provocation to the imperial power! This is a crime!"

"After being exposed, the Xiao and Zhao families plotted to murder me, and even attacked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is two crimes!"

"To murder the legitimate daughter and to push her down a deep well in the backyard to destroy the evidence is the third crime!"

"Now they are talking nonsense in front of Your Majesty and have listed many false evidences. The four crimes are confirmed. They actually treated the royal family as an object of deception. They deserve to die for their contempt for the emperor's grace! I beg Your Majesty to punish them severely!"

As Lin Xilan's powerful words fell, the Xiao and Zhao families suddenly panicked.

They kowtowed and begged for mercy, but even at this moment they still wanted to put the blame on Lin Xilan.

Lin Xilan, however, just stood there, with his back straight and not a bit panicked, which formed a sharp contrast with the Xiao and Zhao families who looked like ants!

boom!

Xiao Yue knelt down in embarrassment!

There were tears in her eyes. She knelt down and kowtowed three times to the emperor!

"Your Majesty, please help me!"

With the addition of Xiao Yue, the marriage exchange became more concrete, and it was also the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Xiao and Zhao families!

After listening to Xiao Yue's story with gloomy eyes, Murong Yu looked at the Xiao and Zhao families with murderous intent.

Xiao Lie panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was confused for a moment! Please, Your Majesty, spare me this time for the sake of my great military achievements for the Southern Kingdom!"

Xiao Lie could use his military achievements to save his own life.

So what did the Zhao family use?
