Nangong Jue was so bold because he was forced to come up with this plan. Doing so might anger Yue Ye, so before entering the palace, he had already mentally prepared himself.

Yue Ye was indeed infuriated, and the fake smile on her face disappeared. Slapping the table with her palm, the beautiful lady next to her became alarmed, and her face full of fear. Yue Ye didn't pay any attention to him, staring at Nangong Jue she said furiously, "You good Nangong Jue, to think that you had the face to bring up this matter in front of us. That night we rescued our enemies on Songshan, we have yet to settle this score with you!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This subject was just impatient for a moment. Just now, I saved the man who fell off the cliff. I didn't intend to go against Your Majesty." Nangong Jue knew that he would bring up this matter, so he could only blame his poor self-control that night. After seeing Xue Fu fall off the cliff, he instinctively went to save her.

Yue Ye sneered, raising her brows at him, "Okay then, it won't be difficult for us to forgive you, tell us who the girl who fought against us that night was." As they spoke, they did not forget to glance at Xue Fu, who had been standing by his side the entire time. He had never stopped doubting her, even though he had repeatedly tried to find out if there was anything out of the ordinary.

Xue Fu's gaze finally moved away from the white jade cup and landed on Nangong Jue's body. She thought that he would tell her the truth. However, he didn't even raise his eyebrows as he calmly said, "Your majesty is enlightened. This subject has already rushed back to the city to take care of matters after saving that woman. In addition, the woman intentionally hid her identity, so this subject does not have the appearance of a woman." This lie was told without hesitation, as if he had been trained to tell it.

His words did not let Xue Fu relax his guard. After Nangong Jue protected her, he would definitely pay the price. This cruel and overbearing Emperor of Yue, how would he deal with him? She couldn't help but start to worry.

"I hope you aren't lying to me!" Yue Ye sneered, shouting loudly towards the outside, "Someone come!"

"Your servant is here!" Eunuch Li immediately entered the palace hall and bowed his head as he waited.

"Go, bring the king of the Northern Kingdom to the Hall of Clear Harmony. The Crown Prince is missing him dearly." After Yue Ye gave her orders, the Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment before turning around and leaving the hall.

Nangong Jue had a bad premonition, when he raised his head, he saw Yue Ye smiling, and said: "Your Highness, do not worry, I have not forgotten the promise I made to Your Highness, Jun Wu You's words …"

His words were gentle, and his smile was sincere. No one knew why, but no one knew why, but they were unable to be at ease because even though Nangong Jue was pondering over his thoughts, he was still unable to comprehend the depths of his heart. The waiting time was long, Yue Ye let the servant girl take a look at the seats for Nangong Jue, she had long since lost all interest in eating, and the entire table was filled with delicacies that were not touched at all. Yue Ye didn't move her silver chopsticks, and the beautiful ladies at her side didn't dare to move, sitting in their seats, facing danger.

After a while, the Northern King, Nangong Ye, was brought to the Qing He Palace. After a few days of imprisonment, the old Northern King's hair was a mess. His clothes were tattered and messy, and even the expression on his face was no longer as high-spirited as it was before. Seeing Nangong Jue's father and son crying at each other, Nangong Jue felt sorry for his father. At the same time, he hated the Emperor of Yue Ye, who was intentionally locking the King of the North up. Even though she had been pretending to be calm, her clenched fists easily betrayed his hatred.

The North King's old body slightly bent down, kneeling down and bowing. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Yue Ye raised her hand, gesturing for him to stand up, "There is no need for you to be so courteous, King of the North. On account of the fact that you have been unintentional and have a dutiful son, I will temporarily spare your life, and hope that the King of the North will be able to live a peaceful life when he returns to our Yunyue Kingdom."

"Thank you, your majesty!" The North King bowed once more, his tense heart finally at ease. Although Nangong Jue felt that the situation was progressing too smoothly, he did not dare to have any reaction, and could only kneel down in gratitude to Yue Ye.

"You should all rise. The Northern King has worked hard these past few days." Yue Ye said with a smile, and said to Eunuch Li, "Someone, come! Give the North King a cup of wine. " He raised his hand and picked up the white jade wine cup that Xue Fu had been staring at the entire time!

Xue Fu was shocked, his eyes staring as big as bells. He helplessly watched as Eunuch Li bowed and approached, taking the white jade cup in Yue Ye's hands, then headed towards the North King. He said respectfully to the North King, "This is the high grade wine bestowed by the Emperor. After he finished speaking, he raised both hands and brought out the beautiful white jade cup. Within the cup, the poison wine rippled!

Xue Fu who was still in shock looked at Yue Ye, he realised that the smile on Zhang Shuai's face contained a hint of cruelty, that was an emotion that only she could see through.

She suddenly understood one thing, Yue Ye knew that this cup of wine was poisoned! And just now, he had maintained his composure and even pretended that he wanted to drink it. Why was he doing this? Just to test her reaction at the last moment?

Seeing that the North King accepted the white jade wine cup to thank him, and that he was about to raise his head to drink, Xue Fu finally couldn't hold it anymore. The moment the North King's lips touched the cup, he cried out: "No! "Don't drink it!" Both her legs went limp, and like a falling autumn leaf, she fell into Yue Ye's embrace, his hands pinching her waist.

Everyone present was shocked, looking at each other in confusion, while Xue Fu's terrified eyes were tightly staring at the cup in the Northern King's hands. That was the poison wine that she gave to Yue Ye, and since it was in the hands of the Northern King, she could not kill the innocent!

"Someone, come!" Yue Ye's ghostly voice resounded in the hall, and several servants immediately came in, bowing as they awaited orders.

"Take Xue Fei to the dungeon!" The hand that was grabbing onto Xue Fu's slender waist pushed with force, and Xue Fu immediately fell at the feet of the two servants. The pain from the collision between her body and the ground did not make her cry out in pain. The pink-colored palace set opened up a sea of flowers on the ground. She only turned around and glared at the man she hated to the core of her heart!

She lost. Actually, she lost before she even entered the Hall of Clear Harmony. Yue Ye is such a shrewd person, how could she possibly be poisoned by her? The hall was completely silent. All of the beauties present were so frightened by the scene before them that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. No one knew what exactly happened. This was not the first time Xue Fu had acted so impudently in front of Yue Ye, but this time he was directly sent to the dungeon?

"My beloved concubine has been in the palace for quite some time, and I still can't remember the rules and regulations of this palace, so I shouldn't have done that." Yue Ye took a sip of the wine, and after casting a glance at Xue Fu who was lying on the ground, her gaze returned to the King of the North. Sneering, "What? The King of the North doesn't want to drink the wine I reward? Or do you still resent me from the bottom of your heart? "

"This subject dares not complain to the emperor." The North King's red lips turned purple. He stared at the wine in the cup for a while before clenching his teeth and gulping it down. The white jade cup fell to the ground, followed by the old body of the Northern King. Traces of bright red blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth. In that instant, the life of the Northern King came to an end, and he pointed his finger in the direction of Yue Ye, opening his eyes wide.

Xue Fu painfully closed his eyes. The venom that the Prime Minister Bai had given her was indeed poisonous to her intestines, and it was enough to cause harm to people even though it wasn't even a drop. Since she caused the death of the innocent King of the North, his son, Nangong Jue, must have done him some good!

"Father!" Nangong Jue screamed as he caught the Northern King's body that was lying on the ground. He, who had never shed a tear since he was young, suddenly shed tears. They fell on the Northern King's round eyes like pearls. The few pearls he had represented all of his sorrow!

The beauties in the hall had long cried out in alarm. Some of them who had never seen such a tragic scene were so frightened that they hugged each other. After crying, Nangong Jue suddenly stood up, his blood red eyes staring straight at Yue Ye who was still leisurely sipping her wine. His hands were clenched tightly in anger, and his veins were popping out. At this moment, what he really wanted to do was to rush up and kill Yue Ye, but he couldn't be so emotional. He couldn't take out the people from the Northern Kingdom to vent his feelings.

Yue Ye finally raised her eyes, coldly looked at the angry Nangong Jue and coldly said, "To dare to challenge our person, the consequences are as such. Nangong Jue, we will ask you one last time, who exactly was the woman you saved that night!"

Nangong Jue did not want him to continue asking this question. Out of the corner of his eyes, Xue Fu was lying weakly on the ground, gasping for breath. Her pale face was filled with despair. Because of her father's death, the heart of Ma Lin still ached even after seeing this scene, and he felt heartache for her.

He would not betray her, and he could not bear it. But Xue Fu rushed in front of him and said: "It's me!"

Yue Ye's eyes turned cold, quickly turning back to face her. There was no longer any trace of fear on Xue Fu's face as he quietly got up from the ground and smiled at Nangong Jue: "Your Highness, you don't dare to kill him right? Xue Fu will help you kill him! "

After he finished speaking, with a 'whoosh' sound, Xue Fu took out a shining sword from one of the servants' sheathe, and jumped into the air with the help of some force from his feet. After flipping through the air, his body flew straight towards the moon. The sword in his hand was fast and accurate, emitting a blinding white light. All the consorts immediately scattered away, screaming in alarm. At the dining table, only Yue Ye stood with her hands behind her back, easily dodging the sword that was about to pierce his chest.

Xue Fu didn't give up, and turned his sword around, aiming it at Yue Ye once again. This time, Yue Ye didn't only avoid it, but also made a move to grab hold of her hand while dodging. The cups and plates on the dining table fell one after another, creating jingling sounds as they interweaved with the screams of the beauties. The scene was in complete chaos.

"Protect!" Eunuch Li's shrill voice resonated within the hall, following that, a group of guards with blades rushed in from outside the hall. These well-trained guards were usually in charge of the safety of the Clear Harmony Palace. It instantly separated Xue Fu from Yue Ye, surrounding her in the middle as the sounds of weapons clashing became more and more intense.

Xue Fu who was extremely alone could not fight against a group of servants experts, and very quickly reached the point where he could only defend and not attack. His hair that was as black as ink danced in the air, and a few strands of it fell to the ground under the swords of the guards. The pink-colored palace dress became a hindrance to her at this moment, preventing her from moving freely.

"Be careful!" In the midst of the blade and sword radiance, a voice filled with anxiety suddenly came out, it was a voice that came out of Nangong Jue's mouth. When one of the guards touched Xue Fu's sword, he still couldn't help himself and leaped forward to save him. He grabbed Xue Fu's arm and said in a deep voice: "Go quickly, you won't kill him!"

Xue Fu knew that she wouldn't be able to kill Yue Ye, but if she was going to die, why not be a little more heroic? Even if she couldn't kill him, if she did her best, it wouldn't be in vain for her to enter the palace. Originally, she didn't want to admit defeat, but Nangong Jue didn't want her to just throw away her life and drag her out of the layers of the sword net.
