It was also under the reminder of the Princess of Beijang that she learned that she was merely a pawn in Xi Zi’s hands.
Therefore, the Northern Frontier Princess did not take her life at the time, but instead let her see through Xi Zi Panger’s true colors and sent her back to the Western Liang Country.
At first, she went to Beijang City alone. Xizi P’an’er had clearly promised to send someone to meet her and had also made it clear that there would be undercover agents in Beijang City to assist her and protect her safety.
When she arrived at Beijiang City, she discovered that everything Xizi Pan’er had told her was a lie.
She failed to plant any informants in Beijang City.
Nor had anyone been arranged to greet her beforehand. From the moment she stepped into Beijang City, Xizi Pan’er had already decided that she would die in Beijang City.
So who would go to meet her?
Not only that, Xi Zi Panger was afraid she still had a chance to return to Xi Liang Guo alive, so she set a trap early on the way.
Once she was allowed to set foot in Xiliang again, Xi Zi’s followers would make sure she wouldn’t live to return to the capital.
Fortunately, the Princess of Beijang had already guessed Xizi’s plan, so she deliberately sent her two most trusted guards to personally escort her back to the capital city of Xiliang.
To put it plainly, without the Northern Border Princess, Xi Zi Ke’er would have already died long ago.
How could there possibly still be a chance to be here right now?
Although the Princess of Beijiang had been kind to her, she only promised never to wage war against the Tianba nation.
But as a subject of the Western Liang Kingdom and its princess, she could never betray her own country.
So no matter how great the kindness of the North Frontier Princess was to her, she could never possibly surrender the Western Liang Kingdom in return for a favor.
Of course, she had to deny the baseless accusations leveled against her by her mother-in-law at this very moment.
Mother Queen can blame herself for anything, but treason and betrayal of the country, she cannot accept.
But the Queen’s purpose is to kill her, so whether she admits it or not, she has to admit it today.
There were only three people in the entire imperial study. At this moment, the Empress knelt down, and her eyes had lost their previous anger.
At this moment, she seemed like a motherly figure. She slowly raised her left hand and gently touched Xizi Ke’er’s face. “Ke’er, how could your mother ever harm you? Don’t forget, you are my most beloved princess.”
“……”
<<>>
“Since you have committed such a grave sin, even your mother cannot protect you. Do not blame her.”
“….”
Xi Zi Ke’er could only think inwardly: “What a hypocrite!”
She had never been so speechless, how could her mother-in-law possibly lie with such brazenness?
Just now, did Xizi Ker tell you which word admitted to her treason and collaborating with the King of Bei Jiang?
Although she had already denied it, this person in front of her insisted on putting that pile of shit on her head.
What a wonderful mother!
Now, she even wants to play the “deep mother-daughter love” card with me.
Xizi Ke’er twitched the corner of her mouth. At this moment, she was watching this person perform a show of overflowing maternal love in front of her. Looking into her eyes filled with insincere affection, Xizi Ke’er instantly felt a little nauseous.
Before she left home today, she purposely went to the Northern Frontier Princess’s courtyard to take a look at Feng Gongzi’s handsome face.
Before going out, her mood was beyond joyful.
When he went to court, his lips couldn’t help but turn up, thinking about the handsome man he had in his princess mansion.
She should go back home earlier today.
Now, looking at her mother’s hypocritical and ugly face, she felt sick. It seemed that after returning, she still had to find a way to dine with the Princess of Beijang and Mr. Feng together.
Otherwise, she might not be able to eat anything today.
Thinking this way, Xizi Ke’er wanted to finish the battle quickly.
She leaned back slightly, trying to put as much distance between herself and the queen as possible.
She said calmly, “Mother, are you truly determined to take my life?”
“Ke’er, Your Mother doesn’t want to either, but… the court officials and the people of Xiliang need your mother to give them an explanation.”
Which person, among the commoners and court officials of Xiliang, ever suspected her of colluding with the King of Beijang?
Xizi Ke’er, as the person involved, only felt that at this time, the empress was more outrageous than her mother.
However, after she finished speaking, Xizi Ke’er raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had vaguely guessed her mother’s intentions.
“Thus, a barely perceptible sneer curved the corner of his lips. ‘If this son doesn’t want to die, what other means does mother think there are?’ ”
The Empress, seeing that she had been hooked, stared meaningfully into her eyes. “Unless… you can prove yourself.”
“Mother, how can I prove my innocence? No matter how many times I say that I am not a traitor, no matter how many times I swear on my life, you still don’t believe me.”
“Your Majesty, I would love for you to provide some evidence. However, as you have none, could you please advise how your son might clear his name?”
The Empress let out a cold laugh, “Evidence…do you think I have no evidence? These days, your correspondence with the Northern Border Princess has been very close.”
“Do you think I’m unaware of all this? My dear, where do you think in the imperial city could hide from my eyes?”
At this point, the queen’s face instantly darkened. At that moment, she seemed to recall something, and her expression suddenly shifted upwards.
The hand that was stroking Xizi Ke’er’s face suddenly slapped her hard.
She gritted her teeth and spoke, “You keep claiming you have no ties with the King of Beijiang, so how do you explain the Queen of Beijiang gifting you that so-called secret weapon?”
“!”
Xizi Ke’er’s hands hidden in her sleeves clenched slightly.
No wonder the queen’s attitude towards her has changed drastically recently, it turns out she really knew about the Princess of Beijang sending her explosives.
She never thought this matter would ever reach the Queen’s ears.
By the looks of it, her mother-in-law knew all along.
She has gained much favor among the people in the capital city due to her repeated achievements recently. Her reputation is high among the people, so she makes her mother feel threatened by her position as empress.
After understanding, Xi Zi’er pursed her lips and said, “My daughter has indeed met the Princess of Beijiang. To be frank with Mother Empress, my relationship with the Princess of Beijiang is still quite good.”
“And General Mother, you should be very clear that if it were not for the North Border Princess’s help, your son would not have lived to return to the Western Liang Kingdom.”
“Therefore, this prince is grateful to the Princess of Beijang. For the sake of not making enemies with Xiliang, the Princess of Beijang is willing to befriend me, a princess of Xiliang.”
