After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Yuan Jinglie stared at her closely: "No matter who dies between me and Zhaoge today, Dashun will not let Southern Qin go. If Southern Qin is ever destroyed, remember, it was all thanks to you."

"I told you to stop talking nonsense! I just can't stand the love between you two. Even if it means the fall of Southern Qin, I will accept it. Quick, go and choose some poisoned wine!"

Yuan Jinglie didn't know where this woman's hatred for him and Zhao Ge came from.

They had never seen it before.

But now, he was forced to the edge of the cliff by this crazy woman and could only hold up a glass of wine.

When choosing, he didn't hesitate at all and just picked up a cup at random.

Then, under Princess Liyang's cold gaze like a sharp blade, he drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Ge watched him drink the glass of wine with fear and trepidation. After waiting for a moment, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about him.

"Alie, you..."

She wanted to say, Ali, you should go first.

But the next moment, Yuan Jinglie picked up another cup and drank it without hesitation.

Zhao Ge's eyes froze. She seemed unable to breathe. She stared with her eyes wide open and shouted his name hysterically, "Alie!!!"

This idiot, he is seeking death!

"Just spit it out, what are you doing! Do you want me to go with you?"

Yuan Jinglie put the wine glass on the table with a bang, supported the table with one hand, and could not bear to look at Zhao Ge. He just looked at Princess Liyang coldly.

"I drank both glasses of wine. I'll die for her and let her go."

In a short time, Zhaoge's tears almost ran out, and she sobbed bitterly: "You fool, if you die, what will happen to Dashun? What will happen to the people? What will happen to me?"

Princess Liyang still had some surprise in her eyes. After a pause, she said, "Your Majesty is a real man. He is willing to die for his woman."

"It's just a pity——"

Her eyes suddenly turned teasing again, "You are just a by-product of this palace. The person I am really looking for is your good queen."

"what?"

Yuan Jinglie was stunned, and suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"Alie!" Zhaoge cried out heartbreakingly.

But Princess Liyang said something in her ear, and her expression immediately froze.

"Follow me obediently." Princess Liyang seemed certain that she would obey, and the knife against her neck loosened a little.

Mo Huan rushed over, "Miss!"

"Mohuan, it's okay. Go find the imperial physician to save Alie first." Zhao Ge said to Mohuan with an uneasy heart and a pale face.

"But Miss, you..."

"Listen to me and go now!"

She rarely spoke to Mo Huan in such a serious tone. Mo Huan was also frightened and watched her leave angrily and helplessly.

In the imperial palace under the cover of night, Zhao Ge allowed Li Yang to take her away.

At this time, the palace gate was locked. Zhao Ge lied that she had to leave the palace for an urgent matter and asked someone to open the palace gate temporarily.

As soon as she left the palace and didn't walk far, the knife was put against Zhao Ge's neck again.

They got into a carriage.

Zhao Ge didn't know where she was going to take him, so he just waited quietly.

The carriage galloped all the way and arrived at the city gate of Fengjing.

"Who is it?" The guard's voice came from outside.

Li Yang signaled Zhao Ge to deal with it. Zhao Ge lifted the curtain and took out the token Yuan Jinglie gave her.

The guard knelt down hurriedly and said, "So you are the nobleman in the palace! Please don't be offended by my ignorance."

"No problem." Zhao Ge said expressionlessly, "I have something urgent to do outside the palace. Please open the city gate."

"Yes."

Although it made no sense to open the city gates so late, the guards did not dare to disobey the order of the nobleman in the palace and quickly opened the city gates.

The carriage drove away.

The carriage was in a hurry all night.

The driver outside really knew Princess Liyang. After running for who knows how long, he said, "Princess, we are almost at Xiangyang River."

The Xiangyang River connects to the Moyun Sea and leads to an island country across the sea. That island country is dependent on Nanqin.

Li Yang was still afraid of Yuan Jinglie, so she wanted to escape back to Southern Qin by water.

At midnight, the carriage finally stopped by the Xiangyang River.

There was already a boatman waiting by the river, looking around. When he saw someone coming, he hurried forward.

"Princess, let's go."

Inside the carriage, Zhao Ge appeared calm on the outside, but his heart was in turmoil.

Li Yang said to the outsiders: "You guys go to the boat and wait first. I have someone to deal with."

When there was no more noise outside, Zhaoge silently tightened his hands on his knees, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Now...can you tell me where Pei Yu is?"

Just now, in the palace, Li Yang whispered seven words in her ear.

She asked, "Do you still remember Pei Yu?"

How could Zhao Ge not remember him? To her surprise, Li Yang also knew him.

Pei Yu was not from Nan Qin, and she had never heard him mention that he had any relationship with Nan Qin. Pei Yu's habits were also completely different from those of the people of Nan Qin.

So how did Li Yang, the princess of Southern Qin, know Pei Yu?

She was worried that Pei Yu had offended Princess Liyang.

But when Princess Liyang heard the name, there was no viciousness on her face. She just said to her sarcastically, "So you haven't forgotten him yet."

This tone doesn't sound like he regards Pei Yu as an enemy.

Zhao Ge felt relieved, and then said: "Of course I remember him, but he went home to visit his relatives and left without saying goodbye. He has not contacted me since then..."

"How ridiculous!" Princess Liyang became excited. "You actually thought he was going home to visit his relatives!"

"Do you know that he was harmed by you?"

"What?" Zhao Ge was stunned for a moment, his mind was extremely confused, "Me?"

"If it's not you, then who else could it be?" Princess Liyang couldn't bear to see her so ignorant.

Obviously, that man had endured so much suffering for her, but this woman had no idea and was content to marry someone else!

Zhao Ge's face turned cold: "I treat Pei Yu as a friend and have never harmed him. What do you mean? Tell me clearly."

Princess Liyang sneered. At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten what the man had told her.

"Okay, you want me to explain it clearly, right? Then I'll tell you--"

Li Yang said word by word: "Pei Yu didn't come back to visit his relatives at all. He was poisoned by your admirer Yu Wenlian, so he had to leave to avoid disaster!"

"On his way back, he encountered bandits and had one of his legs broken. He escaped with great difficulty and followed the caravan to Southern Qin!"

"He told you that he was going back to visit his family because he didn't want you to offend Yuwen Lian because of him. He didn't write to you later because he was gradually losing his sight and his hands were disabled, so he couldn't pick up a pen anymore..."

"You don't know all this. You don't know how pitiful he is. He's dying..."

When Princess Liyang said this, tears welled up in her eyes and she clenched her fists.

She fell in love with him at first sight when she accidentally broke into Pei Yu's small building while hunting.

But Pei Yu was always thinking about another woman who was thousands of miles away. Every time he talked about that woman, there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and brows.

She envied and was curious about that woman, but she was not jealous. As a princess, she could let go and would not take her anger out on innocent people because of love.

Until she found out that the woman was the future queen of the new emperor of Shun Kingdom.

They are going to have their wedding soon, but Pei Yu is almost at the end of his life.

She stood up for him, so for the first time she went against his wishes and went to Fengjing with two of her confidants.

It just so happened that her brother the Emperor also wanted her to marry the new emperor of Shun State, so she pretended to be unruly and stirred up trouble in the palace, looking for opportunities to make them let down their guard and successfully deceived them.

Now, Liyang has achieved her goal, but she still doesn't feel happy.

She just wiped the tears from her face, and before getting off the carriage, she choked back her sobs and said, "I really wanted to kill you, you are not worthy of Pei Yu's love. But then I thought, he loves you so much, if you die, he will be sad. So, I let you go, go away, and marry your emperor!"

But Zhaoge sat in the carriage, motionless.
