"To seduce your husband's younger brother on your wedding night, bind her up!"
"If the Prince doesn't want her, she'll even resort to drugging Shiyi, going so far as to poison him!"
"Such a witch, burn her! Burn her!"
Chu Qianli had just regained consciousness, still groggy.
The sounds of abuse were incessant; she moved her hands and realized they were bound.
"Burn her, burn her!"
"Burn her... Prince?"
"Prince!"
"Greetings, Prince!"
The cursing stopped abruptly.
An overwhelming chill approached as Chu Qianli instinctively looked up.
Among the crowd, a tall and frosty figure strode forward.
At just one glance, Chu Qianli was completely dazzled.
In all her years, she had never seen such a handsome man.
Most importantly, he exuded a noble yet icy aura, as if it was inborn.
Once he stood among them, everyone else simply became his foil!
This was definitely the most formidable and outstanding man Chu Qianli had ever seen!
Memories belonging to the original host flooded in, making Chu Qianli's heart skip a beat.
This man, he was her husband of tonight, the fourth son of the Emperor of Beiming Country.
War God Prince Yexuan!
"Greetings, Prince Yexuan!"
The guards bowed their heads, not daring to breathe too loudly.
The ladies coveted his peerless visage but could only sneak peeks, not daring to look directly.
In the entire Beiming Country, who didn't know that Prince Yexuan abstained from women's company, detesting female closeness the most?
Chu Qianli lost focus only for a moment before her rational mind kicked in.
Pain!
Her hands, tightly bound to a stake, bore bloody marks on her wrists.
The guards held torches.
As soon as a torch was thrown at her, her spirit from the 21st century might go through another transmigration.
Prince Yexuan stepped closer to Chu Qianli.
His icy aura was so intense it was nearly blinding.
Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes, sizing up her new husband as her mind raced.
The events of tonight were too bizarre. After drinking a cup of tea given by the maid Cuicui, she had lost consciousness.
When she came to, she discovered Prince Jinrui bleeding from the corner of his mouth, pinned under her.
It was then, Consort Jin burst in with her entourage and had her tied up on charges of attempting to murder Jinrui.
Now, they wanted to burn her alive!
Chu Qianli's palms slowly clenched.
She had been set up!
"Prince!" Cuicui fell to the ground with a thud, her face filled with terror.
"Prince, the Princess only made an error in judgment, using the wrong medicine, which inadvertently harmed Shiyi!"
She sobbed and pleaded, looking down, "Prince, it wasn't intentional, please spare the Princess!"
Chu Qianli's expression darkened.
Cuicui's words seemed like a plea for mercy.
But in fact, they were telling everyone that she indeed drugged Jinrui!
"So, you truly are the one who harmed Jinrui?" Prince Yexuan's gaze was as cold as a blade.
Chu Qianli replied indifferently, "If I say I was framed, would you believe me?"
Prince Yexuan remained silent.
Cuicui immediately cried out, "Princess, at this point, you should come clean to the Prince!"
"The Prince is magnanimous. If you sincerely admit your fault, he will forgive you!"
"Shut up!" Chu Qianli gave her a cold glance, "All of this was orchestrated by you, speak! Who is instructing you from behind the scenes?"
Cuicui instantly trembled with fear, shaking her head, a picture of grievance.
"Princess, I... I have always considered your best interests, why are you so ruthless to falsely accuse me?"
Cuicui's crying made the guards and servants unable to look away.
From the crowd, someone couldn't hold back and angrily said, "The Princess is unchaste, harmed Jinrui, Prince... burn her!"
"That's right! Burn her!"
The torches edged closer, one of which was presented to Prince Yexuan by the hands of a guard.
"Prince! To plot against the blood of the Imperial Family is a capital offense! If you don't execute the Princess, how will you explain to the Emperor?"
"That's right, Prince! The Princess deserves death! We beseech you, Prince, to execute the Princess!"
The others shouted as well, "We beseech you, Prince, to execute the Princess!"
Chu Qianli lifted her eyes, her deep gaze fixed on the stunning man before her:
"I was framed, and if you kill me, the truth will forever remain hidden!"
She was gambling.
Gambling that her new husband, the original host, still had the slightest trust in her.
She said coolly, "Give me three days' time, and I will find the real culprit!"
