Go through it quickly, the host will torture and kill you indiscriminately

Hearing King Ning's question, Yang Xue was completely stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I steal your secrets?"

She widened her eyes and looked at King Ning in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe he would speak to her like that.

"Do you want to get rid of me by randomly accusing me of a crime?" Yang Xue questioned King Ning angrily, her heart full of grievances and unwillingness.

She felt that Prince Ning was deliberately making excuses to get rid of her, rather than really suspecting her of stealing secrets.

"I tell you, it's impossible for you to frame me!" Yang Xue said gritting her teeth, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She would never easily admit something she had not done, nor would she allow King Ning to slander her at will.

However, King Ning did not think so. He firmly believed that Yang Xue was the one who stole the secrets, and no matter how she explained, he refused to believe it.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me!" King Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to the guards behind him.

This was the first time he said in front of Yang Xue that he wanted to investigate her.

He decided not to listen to any of Yang Xue's explanations, but to use facts to prove her guilt.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the guards responded in unison and immediately took action.

They quickly launched an investigation and did not miss any clues that might be related to Yang Xue.

Yang Xue stood there, shaking with anger.

She didn't expect King Ning to be so heartless and not even give her a bit of trust.

But she knew that nothing she said now would help, and she could only wait for the results of the investigation to prove her innocence.

Time passed quickly. In less than half a day, the person in charge of investigating the matter had returned. Yang Xue still said arrogantly, "Can you prove my innocence now? You should apologize to me."

However, King Ning's face became extremely gloomy, as if a storm was about to come. He said coldly: "Innocent? I am too good to you, so I let you act so willfully!"

King Ning threw all the evidence he had found in front of Yang Xue and said angrily, "Take a good look at the evidence yourself. It's all your fault!"

Yang Xue was shocked, but she knew she had not done these things, so she firmly denied it: "I have not done these things, don't accuse me!"

Prince Ning is now more confident in his investigation results because they contain evidence of Yang Xue's contacts with the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and other ministers.

What shocked him the most was that the person who claimed to be Yang Xue's mother was actually a traitor who was bent on overthrowing the imperial power.

Faced with such a situation, how could King Ning trust Yang Xue again?

At this time, Yang Xue, as a woman immersed in love, and without much scheming and wisdom, had no idea how to prove her innocence.

She just kept questioning King Ning: "Do you no longer love me? Is that why you treat me like this?"

"Just let me go. Since we no longer love each other, then let me be free. I don't love you anymore!"

"Shut up!" King Ning shouted angrily, "Isn't my love for you enough? Why do you want to betray me?"

"I don't!"

"The evidence is irrefutable, yet you still dare to deny it?"

"It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime." In the end, Yang Xue couldn't help but say the classic line, "I really can't defend myself."

However, in the eyes of King Ning, Yang Xue's words meant that she acknowledged her own guilt!

Prince Ning felt a pang of pain in his heart. He never expected that he would fall in love with such a woman with a complicated identity, and he couldn't bring himself to do anything to her!

He gritted his teeth, said coldly: "Take care of yourself!" Then he turned and left the woodshed.

In fact, King Ning still loves Yang Xue deep in his heart, otherwise, with his character and methods, he would never let her go so easily.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have lost their lives long ago and would have died countless times.

However, Prince Ning did not sleep all night, and fell into deep entanglement. He really couldn't think of how to deal with Yang Xue. Kill her? Prince Ning was full of reluctance; but he would never let her go, after all, she was a spy who could bring danger to the palace at any time.

This question troubled King Ning for the whole night, and he could not make a decision...

However, King Ning was unable to make up his mind, and naturally someone would come to help him.

Early in the morning, the staff arrived at Prince Ning's mansion early, and at the same time, the ministers of Prince Ning's faction also rushed here after the court session.

"Prince Ning, please consider the great cause and severely punish Yang Xue!" a minister said righteously.

"She leaked the palace secrets this time, which is a capital crime. You can't be lenient!" another minister echoed.

A minister also seconded the proposal and said, "Your Majesty, if you like, there are all kinds of women in the world. Why would you be so attached to a spy?"

"Your Highness, please execute Yang Xue!" The ministers shouted in unison.

"Your Highness, please execute Yang Xue!" The voice became louder and louder, deafening.

"Your Highness, please execute Yang Xue!" The cry echoed throughout the hall.

King Ning sat on a high seat, looking coldly at the group of ministers kneeling below. These people were all his confidants, but at this moment they collectively put pressure on him to execute Yang Xue. King Ning's face became extremely gloomy, and his eyes swept through the crowd, finally stopping at the minister in the lead.

"How can you interfere in my business!" King Ning shouted with his eyes wide open. His voice was full of majesty and anger, which made people shudder. However, these ministers seemed to have made up their minds. They knelt down and shouted in unison: "King Ning, please order the execution of Yang Xue!"

King Ning was furious. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "How dare you! Are you threatening me?" His eyes flashed with a cold light that seemed to penetrate people's hearts. The ministers were so scared that they kowtowed and apologized, but they still insisted on their own opinions.

"I dare not, but Yang Xue leaked the secrets of the palace, which means you will be put to death. You must not be soft-hearted!" said a minister, his face full of worry. Other ministers also echoed, saying that Yang Xue must be executed to maintain the authority and safety of King Ning.

King Ning took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. He knew that these ministers were wholeheartedly doing this for his own good, but he still had a little hesitation in his heart. After all, Yang Xue had a special meaning to him.

"Alright, I have made my own decision. There is no need to discuss this matter further." King Ning waved his hand, signaling the ministers to leave. However, the ministers did not stand up, but kowtowed even harder.

"Your Highness, you can't ruin yourself for personal reasons!" A minister said anxiously, his eyes full of sincerity. Prince Ning frowned slightly. He understood the ministers' concerns, but he didn't want to give up Yang Xue easily.

"Besides, that woman doesn't love you at all, so why are you doing this?" Another minister added, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. King Ning's heart was shocked, and this sentence was like a sharp knife piercing his heart. He couldn't help but think of every bit of his time with Yang Xue. Her gentleness, kindness and strength all deeply attracted him.

King Ning closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
