Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

*** denied it to the end, sneered and asked harshly.

"What kind of evidence is this? I don't know where you got the gold ingot from, but you want to frame me?"

Ling'er is simple in nature, so she is no match for the cunning and treacherous thief.

Qi Sui'an frowned.

"Your Majesty, this matter is exactly as Ling'er said. That day, I was indeed knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I was already in Chonghua Palace."

***'s face showed a panic expression. He covered his chest in disbelief and stepped back.

"Your Majesty, even if you don't want to marry me, you can just negotiate and postpone the wedding date. Why do you have to slander me and ruin my reputation?"

Qi Sui'an's eyes were cold. He didn't expect that at this time, she could still make trouble unreasonably.

He was too lazy to argue with her and reported it directly to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, because Ling'er did this and was discovered by me, you were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you sent people to hunt down Ling'er. I captured them last night. Those people were confirmed to be servants of your palace."

The emperor's face looked very unhappy, his deep eyes concealed his emotions, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

After a long time, his majestic eyes turned to ***.

"Shaohua, what do you say?"

*** fell to his knees with a thud.

These people were used as witnesses in Qi Suian's hands. She seemed to understand that it was useless for her to defend herself, and finally she closed her eyes resigned to her fate.

"Father, I did resort to some tricks, but it was all because I loved you, and I had no intention of harming anyone. I sent people there yesterday not to murder Ling'er's family, but just to make them shut up for now and get married first."

***Tears were streaming down a beautiful face, her eye makeup was smudged, and she looked extremely miserable.

The emperor sighed: "Why are you doing this? You don't even care about your own reputation."

"Because I know that it would be extremely painful if I could not be with the prince in this life. I hope that you can understand my infatuation!"

*** covered her face, tears streaming down her face.

The emperor frowned and said coldly: "You have done such a thing. If I don't punish you, it will be difficult to appease the public anger. I will punish you by confining you to your home for three months and deducting your salary for one year."

*** fell to his knees.

"Father, I accept the blame!"

The emperor held his forehead with his hand and looked distressed, but he did not mention canceling the marriage. Seeing this, Qi Suian dared to speak up.

"Your Majesty, since I was framed, can this marriage be cancelled?"

The emperor relaxed a bit, his complexion obviously looked much better, and he asked in a friendly manner.

"You are so anxious to cancel the marriage, is there someone you love?"

Qi Sui'an was stunned for a moment, and a beautiful figure flashed through his mind.

If he told about Shen Mengyao, what if the emperor granted them a marriage? Shen Mengyao was just a partner to him now, could she accept him suddenly mentioning her in front of the emperor?

Meanwhile, the court is in turmoil. It may not be a good thing for the powerful regent and Duke Shen, who holds military power, to be involved at this time.

After struggling for a long time, he finally shook his head and denied it.

"I have devoted my whole heart to the country and the people. I have no worries in my heart and just want to be alone."

"Qi Aiqing, you are already over 20 years old, but you are still single. You don't even have a concubine in your house. You have to take care of your family while serving the country and the people."

"I don't have the heart to care about these things now." Qi Sui'an flatly refused.

"*** did all these wrong things because she loves you too much. Don't worry, after getting married, she will definitely look like a married woman."

Upon hearing this, Qi Sui'an's expression became very ugly.

"Your Majesty, she has used every possible means to force me. How can I live with such a woman for the rest of my life?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and his voice became much more severe.

"I have issued my imperial decree. Do you want to disobey it? Or do you want to ruin the princess' reputation? Or do you want me to bear the infamy of changing my orders every day?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't think so, but this matter is not my fault." Qi Sui'an's face was extremely ugly.

"I know it clearly in my heart." The emperor's expression was filled with the majesty and pressure of an emperor.

"It's just that the princess has been betrothed to you. All the things that happened before were because she liked you too much. Since there is no love, you should cultivate it well after marriage. I have asked someone to calculate it, and your horoscopes are very compatible."

When Qi Suian was about to say something else, Debao suddenly came in. The atmosphere in front of him was so gloomy that he was too scared to say a word.

In such a silent atmosphere, the emperor obviously noticed him and rebuked him coldly.

"You bold little dog slave! What are you doing here?"

Debao knelt on the ground in fear and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Aunt Fuqing from the Queen Mother's Palace came over just now and said that the Queen Mother wanted to see the prince. If she is done, she will go to Xingqing Palace."

This was a step forward, and the emperor's tone became much more relaxed.

"I have finished talking to the prince. I guess the queen mother also wants to meet Shaohua's husband before the wedding. Well, you can go to Xingqing Palace to pay your respects."

"Your Majesty!" Qi Suian never expected that after clearing his name, the Emperor would use such an excuse to evade him. He still wanted to defend himself.

But before he could finish his words, the emperor waved his hand, and when he turned around, the expression on his face became very cold.

"There are some things that don't need to be said anymore!"

Qi Sui'an knew that it was not a good idea to say these words at this time, so he reluctantly bowed and left the Qinzheng Hall.

*** pursed her lips, and her voice became much weaker.

"Father, son and minister..."

The emperor looked at him sternly and said earnestly: "I can forgive you this time, but if you do it again, I can't protect you."

*** was deeply moved and knelt on the ground: "Thank you, father. Long live the emperor."

Outside Xingqing Palace, Shen Mengyao waited outside for a while with the medicine.

Not long after, I saw a green figure coming from afar, straight and tall, like an undefeated pine tree in winter.

The moment Qi Suian saw her, he felt as if a ray of warm sunshine had shone into his heart, as if his heart was no longer frozen. They had not seen each other for several days, but these few days seemed so long that it seemed like many years had passed.

"Is your Majesty well?" Shen Mengyao bowed.

Qi Sui'an showed a weak bitter smile on his pale face: "Even if the grievances are washed away, the engagement will be hard to cancel."

"How could this be?" Shen Mengyao never expected this result. She was waiting here just to hear that the matter had been resolved.

Qi Sui'an lowered his eyes and laughed coldly: "For the sake of the royal family's face and the Holy Judge's judgment, the emperor ignored my wishes at all."
