Xia Qiluo narrowed her eyes and said word by word, “Murder, life for life.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo and said calmly, “I didn’t kill anyone.”

Xia Qiluo sneered. “I knew you wouldn’t admit it, but it’s alright. You have to admit it even if you don’t want to.”

Xia Qiluo had long known that Liu Sanniang would not admit it. If she admitted it so easily, she would not be Liu Sanniang.

Xia Hongming felt his head buzzing.

How did Liu Sanniang become a murderer? Who did she kill?

Liu Sanniang had clearly been instructed by his mother to look for him. It was impossible for her to kill someone in the capital. Xia Hongming knew that there must be a misunderstanding, but he did not know what was going on at all.

The golden cage completely trapped them.

Seeing that Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan had no intention of escaping, Xia Hongming was worried. He didn’t want to die after having been on the run for so long and finally managing to come back.

Xia Qiluo did not look at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. She raised her hand and instructed, “Take them away.”

The golden cage was covered in runes. The imperial guards carried the cage with special tools.

Xia Hongming could not stand steadily, so he quickly sat down and almost fell to the ground. On the other hand, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan sat cross-legged, looking very calm.

Liu Sanniang and the others were locked up in the prison under heavy guard. Most of these guards were psychics.

Xia Qiluo entered the palace, and the empress dismissed the palace servants.

Xia Qiluo said, “Mother, I caught Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan.”

The empress’s gaze was gentle. “You did a good job, but don’t let down your guard. Liu Sanniang is not easy to deal with. Does she have any accomplices?”

Xia Qiluo thought of the stranger beside Liu Sanniang and said, “There is one, but no matter what they are up to, they have already been caught. I will definitely not let the guilty off.”

No matter who the stranger was, he couldn’t possibly be a good person since he was with Liu Sanniang. Although she did not know his ident.i.ty yet, she would find out sooner or later.

The empress instructed with a gentle and loving expression, “You have to be careful and take it one step at a time. Don’t be smug.”

Xia Qiluo nodded. “Mother, don’t worry. I won’t let anything go wrong.”

The empress nodded gently. “I believe you will do a good job. If there’s anything you don’t understand, remember to ask your s.h.i.+fu. They will answer you.”

Xia Qiluo nodded. “I will. Mother, I’ll go back first. I must show all the evidence of Liu Sannaing’s crime to her so that she won’t have anything to say!”

A raging fire flashed across Xia Qiluo’s eyes. She wanted to use the truth to shut Liu Sanniang up.

The empress nodded slightly and watched as Xia Qiluo left. The gentleness in the empress’s eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by a cold light.

She had underestimated Xian Fei. Since Xian Fei would not give up, she would let her have a taste of despair.

After Liu Sanniang left the capital, the empress began to set up traps. It would be fine if Liu Sanniang did not come back. As soon as she came back, she wouldn’t even be able to protect herself, let alone Xian Fei.

If they still did not give up and returned to the capital, they would all die.

The palace servant walked into the hall and slowly walked to the Empress’s side. He said softly, “Your Majesty.”

The empress said in a low voice, “Pa.s.s down the order. Set the Xianhe Palace on fire. I want Xian Fei to die tonight.”

The empress added. “Do it cleanly.”

The servant nodded. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Nothing will go wrong.”

At the Xianhe Palace.

Late at night, Xian Fei woke up with a start. The madness in her eyes gradually returned to normal. She sighed. It was already mid-April. She wondered if Miss Liu had found her son.

Xian Fei closed her eyes and felt a lump in her throat. The people around her were gradually taken away. She could feel that she was in a pa.s.sive position, but now, other than continuing to pretend to be crazy, she had no other choice.

She had been crazy for too long. Sometimes, she didn’t even know if she was really crazy or faking it.

Only when she woke up late at night would her mind be clear. No one knew that she was pretending to be crazy. The palace door was closed and she could not get out, but the empress’s people could come in at will.

Xian Fei opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She did not know how long she could wait. In this world, what was most torturous was waiting.

There was a faint sound outside the door. Xian Fei immediately frowned and clenched her fists.

Xian Fei took a deep breath and slowly reached into the innermost part of the bed before taking out a dagger.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came in to kill her. Xian Fei wondered if she was being paranoid, heard wrongly.

It was quiet outside, but gradually, Xian Fei smelled smoke. She immediately stood up, and the entire room was quickly engulfed by flames.

At this moment, Xian Fei understood that they were going to burn her alive.

She immediately stood up and ran to the dressing table. She took out a red hairpin and dismantled it.

Outside, the palace servants were shouting.

“There’s a fire. Come and put out the fire…”

The beam of the roof had been burned down. The thick smell of smoke was so strong that she could not breathe. Tears streamed down her face. She quickly put on the sharp claws one by one. Without even having time to think, she swiped at the ground.

The fire burned brighter and brighter. The underground was stuffy. Xian Fei dug in a direction until she reached the ground.

Xia Bingguang was woken up by the noise. He got up and saw Xian Fei standing in front of his bed. Xia Bingguang rubbed his eyes. “Xian Fei, why are you here?”

Xian Fei threw herself into Xia Bingguang’s arms. “Your Majesty, someone wants to kill me and Hongming. Do you believe me?”

Xia Bingguang hugged her in a daze. The person in his arms kept trembling, and he could not understand a word she said.

Wasn’t Xian Fei in the Xianhe Palace? Why did she come to his hall? What did her words mean?

Xian Fei did not give Xia Bingguang time to think. She cried and said, “Your Majesty, I’m not crazy. I’m pretending to be crazy because my son was swapped. The imposter is just wearing my son’s face. He’s not my son at all..”
