Ye Li had fallen asleep in Mo Xiuyao's arms when Princess Anxi sent someone to invite the distinguished guests into the palace. Although it was a bit depressing that they had to enter the palace to discuss matters instead of going back to rest, no one present would say no. Everyone knew that Princess Anxi was the final winner of this battle. Naturally, everyone present wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible to win more benefits for themselves.
Mo Xiuyao wanted to let Ye Li go back to rest, but Ye Li remembered that the King of Nanzhao was still hidden somewhere in the palace, so she decided to enter the palace again.
It was still the same hall where the King of Nanzhao had received them, but the people in the hall had changed. Princess Anxi was still wearing her wedding gown with white flowers and blue flowers. However, the gown was stained with dark red blood, which made her look even colder and more murderous under the light. At this time, Princess Anxi was standing in the hall, looking down at Shu Manlin, who was sitting in the middle of the hall in a sorry state.
"It's so late. It's really rude of me to invite you into the palace." Princess Anxi nodded to Ye Li, and then apologized to the people who entered the hall. Lei Tengfeng said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, Princess. It happened so suddenly tonight. I'm relieved to see that you and your wife are safe." Pu Ah stood behind Princess Anxi. There were still some bloodstains on his young face. Obviously, both he and Princess Anxi had gone through a tough battle tonight. Princess Anxi said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince of Jhennam King Gojoseon." Prime Minister Liu frowned, "Why didn't the King of Nanzhao come out when such a big thing happened?"
Princess Anxi also frowned, saying, "To be honest, I didn't see my father after returning to the palace. He's sending people to look for him. Shu Manlin, the tokens of the guards of Yunwu City and the guards of the palace are in your hands. Where is my father? "
Shu Manlin's face darkened. She said coldly, "How do I know where he is?"
Princess Anxi sneered, "The tokens are in your hands. How do you not know where my father is? Then how did you get the token? "
Shu Manlin was stunned, but soon understood what Princess Anxi meant. She wanted to put the blame on her for the disappearance of the King of Nanzhao! Regarding this matter, Shu Manlin was really wronged. She had never thought that she couldn't defeat Princess Anxi with all the masters of the Sacred Land of Nanjiang and the guards of Yunwu City. Originally, she had hoped to kill Princess Anxi directly. As long as Princess Anxi was dead, her subordinates would be defenseless. Who would have thought that she would be surrounded by a group of extremely powerful guards? Not to mention killing her, she was caught red-handed by Princess Anxi when she broke into the Saint Lady's Hall.
"What do you mean? The command medallion was naturally given to me by the king! "Shu Manlin said sternly.
Princess Anxi wasn't in a hurry. She smiled faintly and said, "Father will give you both the imperial guard token and the guard token of the royal city? . Are you joking? "
Shu Manlin was a little uneasy. Normally, the King of Nanzhao wouldn't give her such an important thing. But this time, she used some special methods to bewitch the King of Nanzhao into giving her the tokens. But no matter how she said it was the King of Nanzhao who gave her the tokens, no one would believe her. Everyone present was a tyrant with great power in their hands. Naturally, they understood the importance of power and military power. As the King of Nanzhao, how could he give such an important thing to a Holy Maiden so easily? Even if someone believed it, now that she had lost, if the King of Nanzhao didn't appear in time to save her, the truth would become a lie. But … where was the King of Nanzhao now?
Of course, Shu Manlin didn't know that when she led most of the guards to besiege Princess Anxi, someone had sneaked into the palace to save the princess. Before leaving, the person had knocked out the King of Nanzhao and hid him. If she knew, she wouldn't have taken so many people with her. So no one in the palace knew the whereabouts of the King of Nanzhao.
Princess Anxi looked down at Shu Manlin, who was in a sorry state but still refused to admit defeat. A trace of disgust flashed through her eyes. She was really tired of this woman. Over the years, she had come to understand Shu Manlin's true identity. So in the beginning, when Shu Manlin targeted her from time to time, she tolerated her. However, she didn't expect that Shu Manlin would become more and more excessive. What saddened her the most was that her father actually gave Shu Manlin the token of the guards of King City. Could it be that her father didn't think that Shu Manlin could kill her if he had the authority to mobilize the guards of King City? Or … did her father think so himself?
"Shu Manlin, you mobilized the palace and palace guards without permission, attacked the princess's residence, and tried to kill the Crown Princess of Nanzhao. Also, you can't absolve yourself from the blame for my father's disappearance. Do you know your crime? "Princess Anxi took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
Shu Manlin was speechless. She sneered, "Now that you've won, you should be happy. Say whatever you want. Anxi, don't pretend. You're the one who held the king hostage and framed me! "
Princess Anxi didn't get angry. She smiled indifferently and said, "Don't you know I's whereabouts very well tonight? I didn't even have the chance to get close to the palace when you were surrounded by so many soldiers. Also … weren't you the one who took away nearly half of the palace guards? The palace guards bear the important responsibility of protecting the palace and the king of Nanzhao. Even during wartime, they can't be taken away at will. Shu Manlin, do you still not know your crime? "
"I …" Shu Manlin knew she couldn't win against Princess Anxi. She was too complacent and careless. Originally, she thought that no matter how capable Princess Anxi was, she couldn't escape from the encirclement of thousands of guards and hundreds of experts. So when she did these things, she didn't think about hiding at all. Now that she had lost, there was no way she could turn things around.
"King Li …" Shu Manlin had no choice but to place her hopes on the people present. Among them, the one she was closest to was naturally Mo Jingli. Mo Jingli didn't show as much tenderness as Shu Manlin imagined. He glanced at Shu Manlin indifferently and said coldly, "I have no right to interfere in Nanzhao's national affairs." Shu Manlin was stunned. She didn't expect Mo Jingli to be so heartless. "King Li … you … what a heartless person! Don't forget, if it wasn't for me … "
"Come, take her away!" Princess Anxi said.
Two guards from the princess' residence immediately came forward and covered Shu Manlin's mouth. They dragged her away. Nanzhao was in chaos now. It wasn't the time to offend King Li. As for the deal between Shu Manlin and King Li, she would find a way to find out later. After dealing with Shu Manlin's matter, Princess Anxi apologized to everyone again before sending them out of the palace to rest.
"Prince Ding, Princess Ding, please wait a moment." Princess Anxi called out to Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao who were walking at the back. Ye Li turned to look at her and raised her eyebrows. Princess Anxi said with a smile, "Where is Imperial Father now? Princess, please tell me. "Ye Li smiled and said," He's in the bedchamber. Princess, you can send people to look for him carefully. Oh right, I took someone out of Nanzhao's palace. Please forgive me. "Princess Anxi waved her hand and said with a smile," It's a small matter. Princess, please don't mind. "Ye Li smiled and said," Thank you, Princess. Goodbye. "
