Tang Peng only felt that the sky was about to collapse.

He sat blankly in the hall, unable to calm down the fear and uneasiness in his heart.

Until Princess Nihuang sent someone to ask him about Yecheng.

Tang Pengcai raised his sleeves and shook his arms to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He was about to stand up tremblingly when a burst of darkness came over his eyes.

He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The guard next to him quickly stretched out his hand to support his arm: "City Lord, are you okay?"

Tang Peng replied with a trembling voice: "I, I'm fine. Lord... princess, you want me to answer the question in person, right?"

The guard nodded slowly: "Yes, the princess asked you to respond in person."

Tang Peng swallowed, "Okay, then, let's go."

Along the way, Tang Peng was completely confused.

He didn't even know how he got to Princess Nihuang step by step.

His face was pale and his back was covered in sweat.

He stepped into the hall with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Princess Nihuang was lying on her side on a beauty couch, with two handsome-looking men beside her, beating her legs and rubbing her shoulders.

She closed her eyes and hummed softly with great enjoyment.

I sensed someone coming in.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Tang Peng coming.

She waved the two men away and slowly sat up.

"How did the investigation go?"

Tang Peng's knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Go back to... Your Highness the Princess, the fire in Yecheng... burned to death 70,000 of our soldiers from the Liang Kingdom. None of our people came back... they all died in Nan Chu."

Princess Nihuang's eyes were full of fear. She took a breath of air and looked at Tang Peng with wide eyes in disbelief: "All 70,000 Liang soldiers were burned to death in Yecheng?"

"How is this possible? Would Yunluan be so cruel? There are more than 70,000 people, how could she do it?"

Tang Peng lowered his head and couldn't help but replied: "All the people in Yecheng were massacred. This was a sworn feud. Nan Chu... they burned all our Liang soldiers to death in Ye. City. It should...should be to avenge the people of Yecheng, and also to give us Liang Guo's advice."

With a crash, Princess Nihuang flicked her sleeves and threw the fruit plate, pastries, and tea cup on the table next to her, all of which fell to the ground.

She lost her composure and shouted in a low voice: "Yunluan, how dare she? How dare she burn our Liang soldiers?"

"The people of Nanchu are all beasts. I will make their life worse than death and make them miserable."

Tang Peng boldly reminded: "What happened in Nanchu in the past two days? Why did all our Liang soldiers fall into the hands of the Nanchu people? Even if they are defeated, even if they are driven out Nanchu, it’s impossible that everyone hasn’t come back?”

Princess Nihuang threw herself in front of Tang Peng, raised her hand and grabbed his collar tightly.

"Are you questioning this princess? Tang Peng, you are so brave... Aren't you afraid that if you offend this princess, I will kill you on the spot?"

Tang Peng trembled, slowly raised his head, and looked into the angry eyes of Princess Nihuang.

"Princess, calm down... I don't dare to question the princess, but even if I don't ask these questions, wouldn't others ask them? No one in the entire 200,000-strong army survived, and they all died in Nanchu."

"No matter who you are, would you ask such a question? If you don't get the answer, do you think the people of Liang will accept this outcome silently? If we are defeated, someone must take responsibility for it. Otherwise, if we can't stop the people in the world from talking, you and His Royal Highness will be roasted on the fire."

Princess Nihuang's heart skipped a beat.

She let go of Tang Peng and sat on the beauty's couch in despair.

"Yes, you are right, someone should be responsible for this."

"Otherwise, the subjects of the Liang Kingdom will have objections. Even if my father wants to protect me, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect me in the end."

No, we must not let others know that Liang Guo's defeat was caused by her.

Otherwise, she will not only disappoint her father, but also completely lose the hearts and minds of the Liang people!

If she loses the support of the people, she will be further and further away from the throne.

She must shirk this responsibility.

Princess Nihuang was upset and drove Tang Peng away.

She asked someone to call Mingyue to come over.

When Mingyue came over, she was accompanied by Liang Yuhuang who never left her side.

Princess Nihuang gets annoyed when she sees him.

She looked at Mingyue with a cold face: "Why do you take him with you wherever you go? This princess wants to talk to you about something, so you think of a way to get him away."

Gongyue didn't dare to provoke Princess Nihuang, so she quickly agreed in a low voice.

She whispered something to Liang Yuhuang. Liang Yuhuang stiffened his head and nodded, then let go of Mingyue's clothes and followed the servants out of the hall.

Princess Nihuang held Yue Yue's hand tightly: "None of Liang's two hundred thousand soldiers survived...Such serious consequences must be borne by someone. I don't want to take this responsibility, please think of a way. How can we make Emperor Liang Yu confess to his father personally?"

Mingyue frowned, and she raised her eyes to look at Princess Nihuang: "Do you want His Highness to take the blame for you?"

Princess Nihuang was unhappy and said quickly: "Why are you taking the blame for me? On the surface, these things were all done by Emperor Liang Yu and have nothing to do with me. I am just afraid that the secret will be exposed in front of my father. Father will blame me for acting recklessly."

"That's why I want Emperor Liang Yu to take full responsibility for this matter and remove me completely. I don't want to disappoint my father... Although my father loves me, he also has high hopes for me. If I let him know Yes, I did such a stupid thing and caused a big disaster... He will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Gongyue's heart sank little by little.

Privately, she did not want Emperor Liang Yu to take the blame for Princess Nihuang.

Once this crime falls on Emperor Liang Yu, not only will he lose his position as prince, but he may not be able to save his life.

Although she hated Emperor Liang Yu, she had given him the love poison since then.

After he lost his consciousness, he became extra dependent on himself.

She hopes to be in this state of being dependent on him and obeying him in everything.

It seemed as if her long-cherished wish had finally come true.

These days, she lived a very happy and contented life.

She didn't want her beautiful dream to end like this!
