After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"……Yes."

The guards carrying out the execution naturally did not dare to disobey the order. They picked up the board again and were about to continue hitting Nan Yuan.

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to stop?” Nan Jiamu shouted in a hoarse voice, staggering forward step by step, his fists clenched, his eyes full of gloom and cruelty.

He couldn't just watch someone bullying Nan Yuan in front of him, so he took a few steps forward, kicked over the guard who was about to execute her, snatched the board and threw it to the ground.

Looking at Nan Yuan, who was bleeding profusely on the wooden board and had already lost consciousness, Nan Jiamu's eyes turned red. He immediately reached out to untie the ropes that bound Nan Yuan, but was afraid of hurting her skin. His handsome face was full of anxiety and his voice was trembling.

"Xiao Yuan'er, wake up, it's your brother, he's here, don't scare me... open your eyes and look at me, okay?"

Nan Jiamu carefully removed the thing that was blocking Nan Yuan's mouth and said with a choked voice.

Nan Yuan seemed to have heard Nan Jiamu's words, and her eyelashes moved slightly, as if she wanted to open her eyes and look at him.

But in the end, my eyelids were too heavy and I couldn't open them at all, and my consciousness was dizzy.

Nan Jiamu looked at her reaction, his eyes turned red with heartache and tears rolled down his cheeks.

He called out several times, but apart from the initial reaction, Nan Yuan did not make any further movement.

“Xiao Yuan’er, wake up! Don’t scare your brother! Open your eyes and look at me… I am your brother, your brother Nan Jiamu… Open your eyes and look at me…”

Nan Jiamu finally untied the ropes that bound Nan Yuan. His heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife and his eyes turned red.

He wanted to pick up Nan Yuan and take her away from here.

"How dare you!" Chu Yanzhi shouted harshly.

"You dare to take the murderer away, do you want to disobey my order?" Chu Yanzhi stood in front of Nan Jiamu.

He then shouted at the guards who were standing there in a daze, "Why don't you put the prisoner down and continue the execution?"

The guards stepped forward in a daze and picked up the wooden board. One of them bravely tried to pull Nan Yuan down from Nan Jiamu's hands.

"Let me see who dares?"

A gloomy light flashed in Nan Jiamu's eyes, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

The guard was frightened by the look and quickly withdrew his hand, not daring to touch Nan Yuan at all.

"Step aside!"

Nan Jiamu wanted to leave with Nan Yuan, but Chu Yanzhi stopped them and said, "I don't care who you are, just put him down quickly. I can pretend that nothing happened."

"If this gets to His Majesty, I'll see how many heads you have!"

Nan Yuan must not be allowed to be taken away, otherwise once the prince gets to know about this, it will be extremely difficult for them to take action against her.

Neither of them would give in.

Just when the two of them were in a stalemate, Zheng Shiwen ran in.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly went to Nan Jiamu's side and explained the whole story.

"Commander Nan, this is what happened. Princess Yun Ni found a witchcraft figurine with the Queen's birth date tattooed on it from Princess Xie's body. The Crown Prince's wife took the blame for Princess Xie. His Majesty has ordered that she be executed immediately."

As Zheng Shiwen spoke further, his voice became smaller and smaller.

The truth of this matter is indeed not in their favor.

"Did you hear that? This is an order from His Majesty, are you going to disobey it?" Chu Yanzhi had a smug smile on his face, "Come here, drag him away and beat him to death!"

This time, Nan Yuan couldn't fly even if she had wings.

Several guards stepped forward hesitantly, trying to drag Nan Yuan away.

Nan Jiamu suddenly turned around, with a chill in his eyes.

Everyone was afraid to step forward. Everyone knew that Nan Jiamu had just come back from a battlefield, a sea of ​​blood and corpses. Who would be so blind as to dare to attack him?

"Go get a stretcher." Nan Jiamu said to Zheng Shiwen.

His little Yuan'er is too seriously injured now. If she is moved casually, it might aggravate her injuries. It would be more appropriate to bring a stretcher.

"Yes."

Zheng Shiwen nodded and left.

"Didn't you hear the reason? She is the real murderer who murdered the Queen. She is the murderer that His Majesty personally ordered to be executed. Don't you understand?" Chu Yanzhi scolded and reached out to drag Nan Yuan.

Nan Jiamu kicked him and kicked his hand back, then looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty wants to execute the criminal who murdered the Queen. Do you have any evidence to prove that the witch was done by my sister?"

"Do you know my sister's identity? The Crown Prince personally conferred her the title of Princess Le'an, and the title was personally chosen by the Empress. What reason does she have to come and murder the Empress?"

"Besides, my sister is a princess. Who do you think you are? You dare to attack the princess without finding out anything clearly. You are the one who is ignorant of life and death, right?"

Nan Jiamu's words made Chu Yanzhi's face flush red and veins bulged on his forehead.

He didn't expect that Nan Jiamu would dare to question him under such circumstances. He was following the emperor's oral order!

"Evidence? What evidence do you want? Everyone in the palace saw it with their own eyes. The witchcraft was found on them. There are witnesses and evidence. What else do you want?"

Chu Yan's chest was heaving with anger.

Nan Jiamu sneered: "There are witnesses and evidence? Ha!"

"The witness you are talking about is Chu Yunni, your biological sister, and you are the one who carried out the execution. You and your family are all in the same boat. Who knows if you have colluded with each other and teamed up to put my sister to death?"

These words hit the nail on the head for Chu Yanzhi. This was indeed their plan, and they really wanted to put Nan Yuan to death, but the order came from His Majesty.

He came here openly under the order of His Majesty to deal with Nan Yuan, and no one could find any evidence against him.

"Commander Nan, that's not what you said." Chu Yanzhi took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "If you say my evidence is false, then you should produce real evidence to refute me instead of arguing with me here."

"Anyone can produce evidence that can be produced by touching the upper lip to the lower lip."

"If you let me say it, I would say that she was dissatisfied with her title and deliberately murdered the Queen. Can you say I am wrong?"

As soon as Chu Yanzhi finished speaking, Zheng Shiwen brought up the stretcher.

"Commander Nan, the stretcher is here."

Nan Jiamu ignored Chu Yanzhi and gently moved Nan Yuan to the stretcher.

Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Chu Yanzhi.

"What are you still standing there for? Are you all thinking about losing your heads?" Chu Yanzhi shouted to the people behind him.

The guards behind him gritted their teeth and stood opposite Nan Jiamu, stopping them from leaving.

Nan Jiamu looked at Nan Yuan on the stretcher. Her face was pale and the injuries on her back from the beating were so severe that her skin and flesh were rotten. If she was dragged on any longer, the blood loss alone would be enough to take Nan Yuan's life.

Nan Jiamu took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "You want evidence, I'll find it for you. If His Majesty blames me, I'll take full responsibility, but now I have to take the person away."

"Once the evidence is here and we are sure that she is not the real murderer of the Queen, I will naturally let you take her away." Chu Yanzhi refused to give in and said, "But before the evidence comes, the person must stay and the caning cannot stop."

"When you find the evidence, you can take the person away."

Chu Yanzhi looked at the guards behind Nan Jiamu and warned, "Commander Nan is confused, and you are also confused with him? I have His Majesty's order on me, how many heads do you have to go against me?"

The guards behind Nan Jiamu looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

Yes, Chu Yanzhi has the emperor's oral order, and Nan Jiamu is disobeying it.

He did it for his sister, but what does it have to do with them? It's not worth risking his future and life for this!

"Put him down quickly!"
