Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 226 Fenglong Xinyue Confession

News of Prince Hao Ling's impending abdication spread throughout the Great Wilderness, and everyone wondered if he had gone mad. Before they could digest it, news broke that the fisherwoman Prince Hao Ling had married over three hundred years earlier was the former Princess Xi Yan, who had been seriously injured in battle and lost her memory. Prince Hao Ling loved only her in his life, and so, regardless of whether Princess Hao Ling was his biological daughter or not, as long as she was Xi Ling Heng's daughter, she was his daughter. Prince Hao Ling would hold anyone who dared to question Hao Ling Jiu Yao accountable. He also declared that anyone who spread rumors would be severely punished!

This is King Hao Ling's private matter. Even if it is true, the person who spread the rumor not only does not take King Hao Ling seriously, but also humiliates the Princess of Xiyan.

Xiao Yao had someone make up the story of Chi Chen and Xiling Heng, and the entanglement between them and Shaohao was also clearly made into a story and spread!

People expressed their regret and were deeply shocked by the deep affection of King Hao Ling. No one mocked him for raising a daughter of an outsider. They only praised him for being a responsible man and wished Princess Xiling Heng to find happiness again.

Xuanxuan and Huangdi were not surprised by this. If Xiaoyao wanted to fight for the world, he had to become emperor.

Now she even blatantly announced that the day she ascended the throne would be the day she would marry Xiangliu.

"Your Majesty! Princess Haoling has not been expelled from Haoling. What should we do?"

Huangdi remained silent. He just wanted to spend his old age in peace. He was powerless to do anything else.

"Fenglong, you're willing to betray me for Xinyue, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Xuanxuan's majestic voice sounded from behind the screen, with disappointment and regret in it.

Feng Long knelt hurriedly upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"But you already did it!"

Xuan threw the information he had investigated at Feng Long. Feng Long's body trembled, but his back was still straight, but his eyes were full of sadness. He picked up the information note and opened it. It clearly stated that there was evidence that Shennong Xinyue, Tushan Jing, Mu Fei and others conspired to torture and kill Princess Haoling, and that Feng Long spread the rumor that Xiao Yao was the illegitimate child of Chi Chen and Xiling Heng.

"Your Excellency, you agreed to let me do this..."

"Feng Long, do you still see me as His Majesty? Do you and your brother really regard me as His Majesty? One of you secretly plotted to kill my sister, and the other spread rumors to slander my sister and aunt!"

Fenglong knew that Taizun, Xuanxuan and Xiaoyao were a family, and he was just an outsider.

"Your Majesty, Xiaoyao is your sister, and Xinyue is also my sister. I have nothing to say..."

Feng Long clenched his fists, knowing that nothing he said would be of any use.

"We've been through so much together and finally made it this far. I thought I could trust you, but you..."

"What about you? Your Majesty! I handed Xinyue over to you. Have you treated her well? Do you have even a little place for her in your heart? I owed Xinyue since I was a child. I want to make it up to her. She didn't want to marry you, but I know that the king's order cannot be disobeyed. Fate is a cruel thing. She must marry you. If you give her a little love, she won't have to worry all day long. I see how thin she is. And when Xiaoyao is mentioned, she trembles with fear like crazy. I feel so distressed! Your Majesty! She is my sister and I am her brother. If I don't help her, who will?"

"Helping her means you want Xiaoyao's life? Who gave you the right? I think you are crazy!"

Angrily, Yuxuan walked forward, grabbed Fenglong by the collar, lifted him up, and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. He smirked to himself, his eyes flicking back and forth between Huangdi and Yuxuan, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips. He looked nonchalant.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is outside seeking an audience."

"Let her in."

Feng Long suddenly became nervous. He knelt down in front of Xuan Xuan, his voice filled with pleading.

"Your Majesty, please don't punish Xinyue. You can hit me and scold me if you're angry, but please let Xinyue go. She didn't do anything to Xiaoyao afterwards. It was my own decision. She's suffered enough..."

Xuan felt bad. He didn't blame Fenglong too much, but he couldn't tolerate betrayal.

"Your Majesty, Xinyue comes here to apologize and asks Your Majesty to release my brother."

Shennong Xinyue was dressed very solemnly today, and every step she took was extremely dignified. She didn't look like someone who came to apologize, but rather like... to maintain the last bit of dignity.

She merely glanced at Fenglong before kneeling obediently, neither humble nor overbearing, nor self-pitying. She rather bore the air of a queen.

Ever since she heard the news that Xiaoyao was going to become emperor, she knew that everything was irreversible. She only hoped that her brother could survive. It didn't matter even if she had to kowtow to Xiaoyao and apologize in front of him!

"Xinyue, go back. It was my brother who made the mistake. It has nothing to do with you."

"Your Majesty, it's me who wants to take revenge on Princess Xiaoyao. It has nothing to do with my brother. Back then, Your Majesty allowed Xiaoyao to live in Muxiang Garden. Xiaoyao and Xiangliu, disguised as Xiaoliu, moved in. This was nothing, but Tushan Jing also moved in. Tushan Jing wanted to harm Princess Xiaoyao, but Xiaoyao hated me because of what happened in her past life. She gave me the tea that Tushan Jing originally gave her, and I was violated by Tushan Jing all night! Is it wrong for me to hate her? If I really hurt her in my previous life, she could kill me or cut me up at will. Why would she use such despicable means to retaliate against me? I gave up on Merlin later. I hurt her feelings afterwards, but I didn't do it again. My brother was just venting his anger for me. I beg Your Majesty to forgive him this time because he is devoted to you. He does not deserve the death penalty."

Tears fell from Xinyue's eyes, but she raised her head stubbornly and looked at Xuanxuan with suspicion. What had she done wrong in this life?

Feng Long felt like his heart was being tugged at. His sister had endured so much alone, and he was so focused on his career that he never cared about her. If only he had been more attentive...

"Xinyue, why are you telling me this now? It's because I'm useless. I even sent that bastard Tu Shanjing back to Qingqiu. If I had known that then, I would have killed him!"

Xuanxuan was shocked. Xiaoyao, what did Xinyue do to her in her previous life that made her want to take revenge on Xinyue like this?

What about him?

Xiaoyao has shown mercy to him countless times.

Xuan sat down wearily, silently watching the regretful Fenglong and Xinyue who kept trying to comfort him. He had no right to judge Xiaoyao's actions. He believed Xiaoyao wouldn't do this for no reason. Even if it was excessive, hadn't Xinyue done something excessive in her past life? That was their grudge.

"Xinyue, I can let go of the matter between you and Xiaoyao. Fenglong, you spread rumors. Haoling will definitely get to the bottom of it. Be prepared to fight!"

What does your Majesty mean? Your Majesty, don't you want to hand him over?

"Feng Long, you are the general of Xiyan. Although Xiaoyao is my sister, since she has chosen Haoling, she is standing on the opposite side of me. How is your navy training? Be prepared at all times! Attack Haoling in the spring of next year!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! But, Your Majesty, I heard that Xiangliu is not dead. How will we deal with him then?"

"We'll discuss this later. You're all tired today, so go back first. Xinyue, I'll mediate between you and Xiaoyao. As long as you don't have any bad ideas, I promise that Xiaoyao won't hurt you again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go down."
