Xie Lin closed his eyes. Yes, he knew, but he couldn't let it go.

As long as he thought of Chu Heyi being alone in Yanzhou City, waiting to die, he couldn't let it go, even if he didn't have this kingdom.

He never forgot the purpose of his rebellion in the past, which was just to ensure that he and Chu Heyi could stay alive and stay together forever.

If his original intention is betrayed, then what is the point of him staying in Shengjing City and being a prince or an emperor?

If he was destined to die, he was willing to face death with Chu Heyi. She was seriously injured, but he was not by her side. Would she be afraid? Would she be alone in the darkness and despair? Despair to the point of crying?

He couldn't think about it, he didn't dare to think about it. As soon as he thought about it, his heart would ache and he couldn't breathe at all, and he couldn't care about anything else.

Wangshan and Prince Ling caught up from different directions and knelt beside Wen Tingshen and in front of Xie Lin's carriage.

They followed Wen Tingshen and silently stopped Xie Lin from leaving the palace and Shengjing City, telling him not to go and die, and not to jump into a trap knowing it was a trap.

"Since it's a trap, there's no way the other party will let you see the Crown Princess alive!" Wen Tingshen said in a loud voice with a deep tone.

Xie Lin opened his eyes, "Uncle Ling, from now on, the management of Daqi is in your hands."

His Royal Highness Prince Ling: "!!!"

He didn't want to! He felt a headache when he thought about being an emperor, having to attend court, review memorials, and reporting every little thing to the emperor!

Moreover, any decision had to be made by weighing the forces of all parties. Even when favoring a woman, one had to balance the forces of the previous dynasty. Damn it, it was too tiring and too troublesome!

He really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble. He just wants to be a leisurely prince!

No, now is not the time to think about this. His Royal Highness Prince Ling opened his mouth to refuse, but Wen Tingshen spoke first.

He said, "Your Highness, are you prepared to let the Crown Princess bear the infamy of the Twin Flowers forever? Are you prepared to make sure that the Crown Princess will never be able to return to Shengjing City?"

Wen Tingshen was kneeling on the ground, with guards behind him ready to pull him down at any time, but he kept his back straight, as if nothing could break his back.

“Now everyone in the world is saying that even if the Crown Princess is alive, there is an evil spirit living in her body that wants to harm the people of Daqi.

“The people who spread these rumors are extremely vicious. Their goal is to prevent the Crown Princess from returning to Shengjing City alive even if she recovers from her injuries, and from enjoying the glory that she deserves as the Crown Princess and a female marshal with outstanding military exploits!

"Moreover, she has to bear the reputation of her mother's family, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, which was implicated by her. Miss Xu, as her sister, fell into the river, which already made her bear the infamy. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left, I wonder what kind of hardships her mother's family will face.

“If Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly deeply in love with the Crown Princess, he should not have left the palace or Shengjing City. You should find out who spread the rumor and clear the way for the Crown Princess to recover and return to the palace!

"You left the palace so impulsively because you were thinking that the Crown Princess might die from her injuries, but what if the Crown Princess recovers from her injuries?

"If the Crown Princess recovers from her injuries, the Crown Prince will leave and make it impossible for her to return home, to go home, or to return to you... There will be no possibility of that ever happening again!"

Wen Tingshen's words were like a revelation to Xie Lin, and they instantly cleared his mind.

When he came to his senses, he was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.

Wen Tingshen said: "Your Highness, the deepest love in the world is not only to accompany her to death, but also to protect everything behind her, so that she can have a way to return home, to return to you."

Wen Tingshen prostrated himself on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ice-cold ground, and hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

The same is true for His Royal Highness Prince Ling and Wangshan.

"Pass on my order to thoroughly investigate the rumors and clear the Crown Princess' name. I will be in Shengjing City, waiting for the Crown Princess to return safely to the palace." Xie Lin said.

Wen Tingshen, Prince Ling, Wangshan, Xue Jinfei and others all responded one by one, their voices as loud as bells.

The winter wind was cold and swift, and when it blew across the mountains and rivers to Yanzhou City, it still gave people a bone-chilling feeling.

“What? The news that the Crown Princess is still seriously injured has spread to Shengjing City?” Yang Qi slammed the table hard, making a loud bang. He was so angry that his eyes were red!

"There must be a spy around the Crown Princess. I must catch this spy and tear him into pieces!"

Baihua said, "Yes, not only is there news that the Crown Princess is still seriously injured, there is even a rumor that the Crown Princess and Princess Cheng are twins, saying that they died together, and even if the Crown Princess is alive, there is an evil spirit living in her body. This is clearly to prevent the Crown Princess from returning to Shengjing City even if she is alive. This move is really too cruel, it really kills without a knife."

Yang Qi's eyes were full of anger, as if they were filled with a storm.

Baihua continued, "There is also Miss Xu who was previously placed in Changxin Palace by the Crown Princess. She went to release river lanterns to pray for the Crown Princess, but ended up falling into the water... Rumor has it that it was the Crown Princess's spirit that pulled her into the water. Now people all over the world are saying that the evil spirit living in the Crown Princess's body has begun to act, and the first to get hurt are the people around her. It's simply ridiculous! I'm really scared..."

Baihua suddenly stopped.

Yang Qi asked her, "What are you really afraid of?"

Baihua pursed her lips, her eyes full of coldness: "I'm really afraid that they will deal with the Zhenguo Mansion next, and then blame it on the Crown Princess, saying that it was the Crown Princess who caused the trouble. Most of the Zhenguo Mansion is now made up of women..."

Yang Qi broke out in a cold sweat and blurted out, "With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, this kind of thing will never happen. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will protect the Crown Princess's family!"

Although he said this, Yang Qi was still nervous, because there is always a loophole in a perfect plan. What's more, the person behind the scenes was targeting the Crown Prince. Getting rid of the Crown Princess and the person behind her was just a move by the other party.

Baihua said: "I will send someone back to Shengjing City now and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send more people to protect the Zhenguo Mansion. Also tell the Second Madam and the others to be careful and not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of them."

Yang Qi nodded: "Go quickly, we still have to catch the spy around the Crown Princess!"

Baihua turned around and left to make arrangements. The next moment, one of her men came to Yang Qi, knelt down and said, "General Yang, we have the result for Miss Cai Ning that you asked us to investigate earlier."

Yang Qi immediately asked: "What do you mean? Are you sure that person is a spy?"

Thinking of the way the girl burst into tears when she learned of Runxue's death, Yang Qi couldn't help but believe that she was not a spy.

Going to investigate is just to make myself feel at ease and let the girl die obediently!

But the soldier said, "No, General Yang, I have visited the surrendered soldiers and civilians and learned that Miss Cai Ning is indeed not a spy."
