"How's it going? What if you haven't killed it?" Lin Yaozhu sneered.

"It doesn't matter if you kill or not." Without waiting for Qiao Xiya to speak, Lin Yaozhu continued, "Could it be that you still want to intercede for me and spare me from dying?" Lin Yaozhu turned over, lay on her side, propped up her head with one hand, and looked at Qiao Xiya, "Put away your pity for me, I don't need it. Mo Junchen, he won't spare my life." After that, he turned his back to Qiao Xiya again and said no more.

"Master Joe, let's go back." Chang Shiliang urged again.

"Okay." Qiao Xiya took a deep look at Lin Yaozhu's back, held Chunling's hand, and walked out.

"Yaozhu," Qiao Xiya stopped and turned her back to Lin Yaozhu when she was about to step out of the prison, as if she was talking to Lin Yaozhu and herself, "When the mermaid case was solved, my father had already begun to suspect the national teacher. But there has been no evidence, so the case has been investigated by me and the prince, and my father has been staying in Jin'an City, just staring at the national teacher. When you went to Funing Palace to deceive the painting, we basically determined that the real culprit behind it was you, but there were too many things and chaos, and we didn't catch it red-handed, so we kept standing still and saved you in the National Teacher's Mansion, just because you and I grew up together. But you instructed people to put my birth date in the Soul Eater Array, and perhaps I paid it by mistake." After that, Qiao Xiya stepped out of the prison without looking back.

In the Zichen Palace, Mo Junchen looked at Qiao Xiya who was standing in front of him with a sinking face, pondering what Qiao Xiya had just said. Obviously, the truth that Qiao Xiya brought back from Lin Yaozhu made Mo Junchen a little difficult to accept for a while.

The air in Zichen Hall was quiet and frightening, Qiao Xiya couldn't help but hold her breath, pricked up her ears, and paid vigilant attention to Mo Junchen's reaction.

Mo Junchen glanced at Chang Shiliang, who was bowing beside him.

Chang Shiliang nodded slightly.

"Chang Shiliang, pass on my will, Lin Feng'an's father and daughter rebelled, brutalized the soldiers, and practiced witchcraft, and their crimes are too numerous to mention! The sin is terrible! Three days later, Ling Chi was executed on the street! The rest of the Lin clan, regardless of age, will be beheaded after the autumn!"

"Yes." Chang Shiliang bowed.

Mo Junchen waved his hand, Chang Shiliang gave Qiao Xiya a look, and quietly withdrew from the Zichen Hall with Qiao Xiya.

"Mistress Joe, let's go." At the door of Zichen Palace, Chang Shiliang bowed to Qiao Xiya.

"Father-in-law, please go back." Qiao Xiya turned sideways and gave a shallow blessing, "Weichen retreated."

"Awake?" The Worm King's majestic and angry voice sounded in front of the door of a room.

"His Royal Highness the Insect King, His Royal Highness has just woken up and is now washing." The two maids in front of the door bowed their knees and replied.

"Well," the Worm King sighed softly, "I'll take a look." With that, he stepped into the house.

"His Highness the Worm King!" Jade Butterfly, who was waiting for Qiu Yueling to wash by the bed, hurriedly curtfell on her knees.

"Mother?" Qiu Yueling looked at the insect king in front of her in surprise, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"That's it, that's it, let's rest." The insect king glared at Qiu Yueling angrily, sat down on the chair next to the bed, and waved his hand at Jade Butterfly. Jade Die glanced at Qiu Yueling quickly, saluted the insect king and exited the room.

Watching Jade Butterfly leave and close the door, the Worm King took Qiu Yueling's hand and said softly, "Is it worth it?"

"They saved Uncle and helped me find you, knowing that they could ask for something in return, but they didn't ask for anything, and even sent Silver Butterfly back to Worm Hunt. Her daughter is just consuming energy to trap her in the fog and prevent the ghost soldiers from finding her." Qiu Yueling lowered her eyes.

"But you trapped her for half a month, and you were in a coma for half a month......" The insect king's eyes showed a touch of distress.

"Mother, I only need a few days to recuperate and get back to normal, but if I don't help, she'll definitely lose her life here. She is the benefactor of the worm, and if she dies near the worm, my daughter will probably feel guilty for the rest of her life." Qiu Yueling smiled slightly.

"You kid." The Worm King touched Qiu Yueling's head helplessly, "Actually, you can bring her back to the Worm Nest."

Qiu Yueling smiled and shook her head: "Worm Mi hasn't recovered for the time being, and my daughter doesn't want to cause trouble to Worm Mi anymore. The worm can't stand the second accident anymore."

"My daughter has grown up." The Worm King stroked Qiu Yueling's face and said with relief, "Have a good rest." With that, the insect king tucked the corners of the quilt for Qiu Yueling and walked out of the house.

"Congratulations to the Worm King!" The jade butterfly at the door hurriedly bowed her head and saluted.

Knock knock.

There was a soft knock at the door.

Qiao Xiya was dressed in a green wedding dress, and her towering bun was full of pearls. She looked at a petite figure reflected outside the door and said softly, "Is it Xia He?"

With a squeak, the door was gently pushed open, and Xia He walked into the room holding a tray. Putting the tray on the table, he looked out of the door again, and gently closed the door, then walked quickly to Qiao Xiya, helped her up, and walked to the table: "The girl is hungry, right? Freshly made jujube flower cake and milk tea, girl eat some first."

"Bring it quickly." Qiao Xiya has long been hungry.

Before dawn, she was forced to crawl out of the warm quilt, freshen up, and toss, until Mo Haoning came to greet her relatives, she held the fan in her hand in a panic, so that from the time she went out to the present, for a whole day, she was not touched by water.

The sweet jujube flower cake with the aroma of red dates bloomed on the tip of Qiao Xiya's tongue, and the sense of happiness exploded instantly.

"Where's the prince?" Qiao Xiya asked softly while gobbling it up.

"The prince is entertaining guests in front, girl, haven't you seen that there are a lot of big officials here today!" Xia He said and pushed the milk tea in front of Qiao Xiya.

"Oh, yes? Then I guess it will take a while for the prince to come back." Qiao Xiya glanced at Xia He, nodded, took a sip of the warm milk tea, and then said to Xia He, "You ask Chu Yun to go and tell the prince to drink less, I have something to find him."

"What is Xiya looking for me?" As soon as Qiao Xiya's words fell, Mo Haoning's voice came from the door, and the startled Qiao Xiya hurriedly covered the pastry in her hand with her sleeve.

"I asked Xia He to send it to you, what else do you have to hide." Mo Haoning smiled, sat next to Qiao Xiya, picked up a piece of jujube flower cake and put it in his mouth, "Sure enough, it's still delicious just made."

"Why did the prince get here? But the food in front of you is not to taste?" Qiao Xiya watched that the already small jujube flower cake was eaten by Mo Haoning, and she felt a little awkward.

"Look at your master, when he passed the door, he became stingy." Mo Haoning smiled at Xia He.
