When it came to returning to Nanping, Leng Yu sighed quietly,

"Go back to Nanping Kingdom tomorrow? Are you a little too anxious? I am still thinking that Yongning will be interrogated tomorrow morning. She is from Nanping Country after all. It is not too late for Prince Daji to wait until I finish interrogating her before going back."

Hearing this, Yongping squeezed the handkerchief in her hand hard, then raised her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth. She pretended to be calm in order to hide the heart that had reached her throat.

Daji hesitated, nodded in agreement, looked up at Yongping,

"Sister-in-law, do you think this is good?"

"Emperor's sister-in-law..."

Daji called out again, and Yongping, who was thinking about something, finally reacted. She said "oh" and replied nervously:

"Just make your arrangements, I have no objection."

Daji didn't notice anything unusual about her, so he nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's wait until the emperor finishes interrogating the little emperor's wife tomorrow. However, I have a merciless request, and I hope the emperor can agree to it."

Leng Yu nodded immediately,

"Prince Daji, please speak."

"After all, the little emperor's sister-in-law is from our Nanping country. Even if she is at fault, can we let the emperor of our Nanping country deal with her?"

"This is natural, and this is also the result of the discussion between me and the Queen last night. Then after her trial is completed tomorrow, you can take her back to Nanping Country for trial!"

After leaving these words, he glanced at Yongping, then stood up, m.gonb.oΓg

"Then I'll go back first. By the way, you'd better try to persuade Princess Xingnan and don't let her think wildly in the room alone."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

After Leng Yu nodded, he led a group of eunuchs out of the Qixia Palace.

Yongping's forehead began to sweat at this moment, Daji looked at her puzzledly,

"Sister-in-law, why don't you look good? What's wrong?"

She explained hurriedly,

"No...no, my head hurts a little. I'll go back to the room and take a nap first. You can go see Xingnan later!"

"Okay, then you go back and have a good rest first. We have a long way back to Nanping Country. If you feel unwell, you should call the imperial doctor for treatment as soon as possible."

"I see."

Leaving these words behind, Yongping took small steps and left quickly.

……

Daningguo Tianlao

It was getting dark, and Yongning was squatting in the cell with disheveled hair and dull eyes, waiting for her eldest sister to come and rescue her.

She didn't know how many days she had been here. She felt that time passed so slowly. Every moment was a torment for her, a torment that was worse than death.

'Patter...'

The sound of the cell door lock opening sounded, and she couldn't wait to look towards the door. When she saw Yong Ping coming in, she immediately greeted him with joy.

"Sister, eldest sister, you are finally here. Have you ever asked the emperor? What did he say? Can you let me out?"

Yongping put the food box in his hand on the table, looked back at her, and comforted her softly:

"Don't worry. The emperor went to Qixia Palace in the afternoon. He said that maybe he would let you out tomorrow or in the next few days. My eldest sister wanted to come and tell you the good news in advance so that you don't have to worry."

"Sister, I don't want to stay here any longer. Did you know? There are rats here, big, big rats. They come out and walk around in front of me at night. I'm so scared. Sister, I'm really scared." Scared, really scared, I want to go out, I want to go out..."

As she spoke, she lay directly on Yong Ping and started crying.

Yongping patted her back gently and kept comforting:

"Just one more night, just one more night."

"No, I can't bear it any longer. Sister, please go and tell the emperor that I really don't want to stay here anymore, please."

"Yongning, don't worry..."

Yongning suddenly jumped up from her body, stared at her, and said with hysterical anger:

"How can I not be anxious? You are not the one in the prison. Besides telling me not to be anxious, what else can you say? Have you ever begged the emperor for me?"

"I went, but the emperor was not accommodating at all. What can I do? Who told you to do something wrong?"

"Hahaha……"

Yongning suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. She turned around and looked at Yongping with vicious eyes.

"Did I do something wrong? Why did I do something wrong? Isn't it thanks to you..."

Yong Ping hurriedly took two steps forward and covered her mouth.

"Yongning, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, you and I won't be able to survive."

But Yongning shook his head vigorously, pulled her hand away, and cursed hysterically,

"It's better not to live here than to die here. You enjoy happiness outside all day long, and I suffer here. You said you would save me. Now, I have been here for a few days, and you still haven't been able to save me. , it seems that everything you said to me is to prevaricate me, Yongping, Yongping, this time you came to Daning Country, you took advantage of me many times, and I finally saw your true face. You said, you are the only one in the entire harem. Did you secretly meddle in Xun'er's birth of a boy? In recent years, all favored concubines in Nanping's harem have died innocently. Is this your doing? Every time I go to bed, , you will give me a bowl of tonic, is that a scapegoat? When all these things are exposed, you can find a scapegoat, but you live a comfortable life, you are really good at it."

Yong Ping hurriedly stepped forward to hold her and looked at her with red eyes.

"Yongning, stop talking. This is all eldest sister's fault. I'm sorry for you. I promise to let you out tomorrow, okay?"

"Tomorrow? You're lying to me again, right?"

"No, eldest sister definitely didn't lie to you this time. Come on, this is the meal that eldest sister has specially prepared for you. Eat your fill first, and then have a good sleep. You can leave here early tomorrow morning."

As she spoke, she put the food in the food box on the table. Yongning looked at the delicious dishes and suddenly smiled sharply,

"Hahaha, eldest sister, is this food poisonous?"

This sentence made Yongping stunned for a moment, but she immediately shook her head and denied it.

"Yongning, don't you believe eldest sister? Ask yourself, how has eldest sister treated you in Nanping Country for so many years? Did eldest sister stand up for you when others bullied you? Now you come to doubt eldest sister, you are really... really It breaks my heart so much.”

At this point, Yongping sat on the stool, crying and raising his handkerchief to wipe his tears.

Yongning seemed to remember that when she was in Nanping Kingdom, her eldest sister had always been protecting her. No matter how vicious she was to others, she would not allow others to bully her, a sister who was not favored by the emperor.

She immediately squatted in front of her, looked at her crying, and comforted her softly:

"Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. Sister, let me eat. Why don't I eat!"

Hearing this, Yongping immediately burst into tears and laughed. She raised her hand, wiped the tears from Yongning's face, and then said softly:

"Remember, eldest sister will not harm you. Come, sit down, and eldest sister will eat with you."

Yongning sat obediently opposite her, took the steamed bun she handed over, and just as he was about to bite it, there was a sound from the door,

"Sister, your feet are so fast!"

Hearing Leng Yu's voice, Yong Ping's face turned pale at this moment. She immediately took the steamed bun from Yong Ning's hand and threw it into the food box, then turned to look at Leng Yu who had walked in.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why are you here?"
