The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

"No."

Under the gaze of everyone, Rong Heqing snatched the bowl from Zhou Ze's hand, walked to Jian Yuan, turned his wrist, and poured water over his head.

"Puff, cough, cough—" Jian Yuan was choked badly and woke up with a somersault.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Rong Heqing's cold gaze. Before he could come to his senses, he heard her say, "This can only prove that Rong Rushen and Rong Qiao are father's children, but it can't prove that the one in your belly is also."

She dropped the bowl with a "bang", which scared Rong Qiao so much that he shivered and glared at her angrily.

"I designed a plan to have Zhe Liu pretend to be you, put on handcuffs and sit in a prison van, and then had someone send a letter to Jian Yuan asking him for help. He immediately came to rob the prison van. If this is not love, then what is?"

Rong Heqing walked up to Wu Caixue and looked at her leisurely.

Wu Caixue didn't expect that Rong Heqing had planned all this. Seeing how confident she was, she must have found a lot of evidence. If she denied it, it would probably play into her hands.

At this point, she finally understood that tonight's drama was tailor-made for her and Jian Yuan. All her previous excuses and pretending to be stupid became a joke.

Judging from King Annan's temperament, he must have already convicted them in his heart, otherwise he would not have directly performed the blood test.

Even if she refuses to admit it, she will still die.

Wu Caixue suddenly felt dizzy and the sounds in her ears became blurry.

"You're talking nonsense! My mother is my father's concubine, and Lord Jian is my father's confidant. My father suddenly locked up the concubine, so Lord Jian naturally came to get to the bottom of it. How did it become a prisoner van robbery? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Rong Rushe was in a panic and spoke without thinking.

King Annan's expression did not ease at all, but became even gloomier.

Rong Rushe realized belatedly that he had made a stupid mistake and all the color disappeared from his face.

Wu Caixue closed her eyes in despair.

Rong Heqing clapped his hands and laughed, "I did see it with my own eyes. Not only did I see it, but my father also saw it clearly. Lord Jian even called Concubine Wu Caixue, how intimate they were."

Wu Caixue tilted her head to look at Jian Yuan. Jian Yuan sighed and shook his head, his expression filled with guilt and a bit of resigned numbness.

The evidence was irrefutable; even if she spoke eloquently, she could not exonerate herself.

Wu Caixue fell to the ground, her long hair falling down.

Seeing that the two were silent, King Annan was furious and shouted, "Come here, fetch me my whip. I will beat this adulterous couple to death today!"

Jian Yuan was shocked and struggled to get up. "I confess, I confess everything. I beg the prince to let the concubine go. It's all my fault. I was bewildered and betrayed the prince!"

He burst into tears and choked up, saying, "The concubine had no choice but to do this. Please, Your Majesty, don't punish her for giving birth to a son and a daughter for you!"

Wu Caixue looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would plead for mercy and excuse himself when facing such a disaster.

She suddenly came to her senses, broke free from the guards, knelt at King Annan's feet, pulled at the corner of his robe and begged, "My lord, I am guilty, I admit it! But the second young lady and the second young master are innocent, please let them go, they know nothing!"

The veins on King Annan's forehead were throbbing and his face was tense. He tried to hold back, but couldn't help but kicked the man down.

"How dare you beg for mercy? I have treated you well, but what about you? Now you feel ashamed. With a mother like you, how can they talk about marriage in the future? You have made them, me, and the entire Annan Palace a laughing stock!"

"mother--"

Rong Rushe and Rong Qiao exclaimed and hurried to help Wu Caixue.

Although the kick from King Annan looked fierce, he actually didn't use much strength. Wu Caixue fell to the ground sideways, subconsciously protecting her stomach, biting her lips and sobbing.

“And you—” King Annan stood up and picked up Jian Yuan, punching him hard. “Twenty years of friendship, and all you get is a ghost-possessed man? You hired someone to kill my son, was it because you were possessed by a ghost, or was it this vicious woman who ordered you to do it?! Tell me the truth, and I will spare your life for all your years of experience!”

Jian Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood, his hair crown fell off, and his long hair was scattered all over his body. He was breathing rapidly and heavily, and his eyes met Wu Caixue's through Rong Ruse and Rong Qiao.

Wu Caixue looked at him pleadingly and shook her head almost imperceptibly.

Rong Heqing saw it clearly, narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and stood between the two of them, "If you really care about them, then tell us honestly how you hooked up with Jian Yuan and what dirty deeds you did!"

"Anyway, with a mother like you, their future is ruined. It will do nothing but harm to the Annan Palace. Keeping them will only be a burden. If you insist on not telling me, I will drive them out and let them fend for themselves to correct the family tradition."

"no, you can not!"

Wu Caixue was really panicking this time. She pointed at Rong Heqing with a trembling finger and opened her mouth to curse. The princess stood up and grabbed her fingers from behind and twisted them hard, "If she can't, then I can't either?"

“Ahh——” Wu Caixue’s face turned pale with pain. Rong Rushe quickly begged for mercy: “Please calm down, Princess. I was in a hurry and said something I didn’t think was right. Please forgive me, Princess!”

The princess didn't even look at her, she just asked coldly: "Will you tell me or not?"

"I said, I said!"

Wu Caixue burst into tears, and the princess finally let her go.

Rong Heqing helped the princess sit back down, and King Annan also turned around.

Everyone looked at Wu Caixue.

Wu Caixue smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I had expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

She wiped her tears, looked at King Annan, and pleaded, "Before I give my instructions, please send the Second Young Lady and the Second Young Master back. Since I have served you wholeheartedly for so many years, please give me some dignity."

The King of Annan was still angry. He glanced at Rong Rushe and Rong Qiao, but still agreed.

No matter how Rong Ruse and Rong Qiao begged, they were finally dragged out by the guards.

The front hall returned to silence. Jian Yuan knelt beside Wu Caixue with a dejected look on his face. Both of them were in the same miserable state.

999: [Tsk, they really look like a pair of star-crossed lovers.]

Rong Heqing sneered in his heart: [Don't insult the mandarin ducks, they are a serious couple, these two are a pair of bastards. ]

"Now that the people have left, speak!" King Annan said sternly.

Wu Caixue took a deep breath and kowtowed to the prince, "Yes."

"I have no one to rely on. I want to gain a foothold in the palace, so I have to make plans for myself. Lord Jian is the prince's confidant and has considerable power, so I took a fancy to him. At a banquet, I deliberately approached Lord Jian, and then asked him to meet in secret under the pretext of watching a play. Over time, he fell in love with me."

Jian Yuan was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly turned to look at Wu Caixue, his lips trembling.

Wu Caixue didn't look at him, and continued to talk to herself, "I was the one who instigated him to assassinate the eldest son. His Majesty wanted the young master to go to the capital as a hostage, but the prince had not yet decided on a candidate. I knew that Qiao'er was the best candidate, but I was unwilling and didn't want Qiao'er to go to Yundu to be tortured, so I had evil thoughts."

She glanced at Rong Ji with an indifferent expression, "As long as the eldest son dies, Qiao Er will be the prince's only son. In order to preserve this bloodline, the prince will never let him enter the capital, and will even ask for him to be named the crown prince. Under such temptation, I went to find Jian Yuan and persuaded him to hire someone to kill Rong Ji, and then framed the Nine Tribes Alliance, so that I can rest assured."

"But man proposes, God disposes." Wu Caixue stabbed Rong Heqing with a look like a knife, "I didn't expect that all this would be lost in your hands!"
