Chapter Fifty-Nine: Trust

  When everything becomes irreparable, when heartache has no feeling! Excuses, heartache seems to have become superfluous, become irrelevant!

  Looking at his icy eyes, Xia Tong smiled sadly and then turned around, knowing it was time for her to leave!

  She had just lifted her leg and hadn't taken a step yet, when "whoosh", two steel knives appeared in front of her, blocking her way: "Please stop, Princess Chao Yang!"

  She raised her eyes and looked around, the guards in the room stared at her with angry expressions, the two guards in front of her had a sneer on their faces, looking at Xiaotong as if to say: A spy from Beijiang, thinking of escaping? Don't even think about it.

  "Could she be Princess Luli?" a guard whispered, voicing the confusion of many.

  "It's said that Princess Luli is the daughter of the Prime Minister of Luli Country, and was later conferred as a princess to be married off to Nan Guo. With Nan Gong Cang's abilities, it's likely that he had planned everything out many years ago to have Chaoyang replace him, or else he wouldn't have requested to marry into Nan Guo himself. This scheme of killing two birds with one stone is truly venomous!" The person's explanation suddenly made everything clear to everyone present, including Xia Tong. No wonder Qing Li always spoke about the romance between Mu Yunsheng and Mu Yan so naturally, without any awkwardness of a forbidden love.

  "If you tell me everything now, it's not too late!" The cold voice echoed with itself, Mu Beichen didn't deny or confirm.

  Turning to face him, her eyes dense and unyielding, she smiled self-mockingly: "Every word I've ever said was true, I've never hidden or deceived you in anything!"

  "Your Highness." The guard who had begun to explain everything stepped forward, bowing his head and looking at Xiaotong with disdain: "First, there was the conspiracy of the Beijiang Jie envoy, and now there is the infiltration of the Chaoyang princess. Beijiang has always been trying to provoke war between Lishi country and Nanguo, and this time, Your Highness absolutely cannot be lenient!" He said self-righteously to Murong Bei Chen.

  "What explanation do you have for Sister personally uncovering the conspiracy of the Beijiang Festival Envoy in the Grand Temple?" Mu Beichuan, who had been silent all along, took a step forward, grasped Xiaotong's hanging hand and gave it a powerful grip. His clear eyes looked at her as he smiled: "Sister would absolutely not be a traitor, I believe in you!"

  "Ah!" Xia Tong's nose suddenly felt sour, this child often moved her and made her feel warm!

  "The eighth prince must not be deceived by her fabricated illusions! This is where she is clever, if she didn't do it that way, how much chance of success would the assassination have had? How could she have gained your trust and even won the favor of the king?" The guard bowed to Mu Beichuan and said, looking at Xia Tong with a cold snort, "Just like when she poisoned the emperor, if she hadn't used her clever tricks to gain your trust first, how could she have escaped?"

  Mu Beichuan stared at him with his mouth open for a few moments, but nothing came out. His clear eyes were filled with anger.

  This person has a rich imagination, not simple, can link everything together, and give it a reasonable explanation, making it impossible to refute. Xia Tong gently pried open Mu Beichuan's hand that was tightly grasping hers.

  Noticing Xia Tong's movements, Mu Beichuan looked at her anxiously: "Sister, no matter what they say about you, no matter how reasonable the explanation is, I will always believe in you, you are not that kind of person!"

  "I know!" Xia Tong smiled lightly, once again prying open the hand that tried to grasp hers tightly: He was the prince of a southern country, and before all the truth that people didn't know about her came out, she couldn't implicate him! In this world, there was still one person who would unconditionally believe in her without reason, and that was enough!

  Mo Bei dust silently gazed at her, as if oblivious to the controversy between them. He reached out and pulled Xia Tong's turned back around, looking steadily into her eyes: "I don't want to pursue anything from before. Now, as long as you tell me the truth about everything, I can let bygones be bygones. We..."

  He still doesn't believe her!

  Before he could finish, Xia Tong immediately interrupted, "Prince Bei, you forgot, I said my love can't tolerate even a grain of sand. Looking at him with a sarcastic smile: "Do you think there's a future for an emotion that exists with distrust?"
