Still unable to find the whereabouts of Bai Yuxian, Yu Xiuqi became increasingly anxious. Although there were many checkpoints along the way to Dongchen, there was no guarantee that Bai Yuxian would not be able to pass.
Bai Yuxian is a well-known victorious general. If he returns to Dongchen Border Pass and leads troops to fight, the opponent's morale will be greatly increased, which will undoubtedly be a great disadvantage to the Western Kingdom.
Just when Yu Xiuqi was bored, a call came from the palace: "Your Majesty, Princess Qin is asking for an audience outside the palace."
"What's she doing here? She's gone, let her go back!" Yu Xiuqi thought Mu Yunfang was here to stir up trouble again, so he felt bored and refused directly.
But the palace servant said: "Princess Qin said that she has something very important to tell the emperor, and it is related to King Chen of Dongchen."
Yu Xiuqi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let her come in."
After a while, Mu Yunfang came in from outside the palace, slowly bowed and saluted: See the Emperor.
Yu Xiuqi raised his eyes and glanced at her, asking: You said you wanted to tell me about King Chen. Is it possible that you have his whereabouts?
That's right. Mu Yunfang gave an ambiguous answer, which made Yu Xiuqi immediately unhappy.
What does this mean? Are you kidding me?
Mu Yunfang immediately explained: That's not what I meant, although I don't know where exactly King Chen is.
But I am sure that he has not left the Western Kingdom, and is even near the capital, or hiding somewhere in the capital, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the Sixth Princess.
Why do you see that? Yu Xiuqi raised his eyebrows and said, according to the Sixth Princess, King Chen left her and ran away alone. How could he come back to save people?
Mu Yunfang smiled and said: Let alone the Emperor, no one else will believe this, right? King Chen was willing to take heart-stimulating pills for the Sixth Princess, how could he leave her alone this time?
?
This is just nonsense that the Sixth Princess said in order to protect King Chen.
Although Yu Xiuqi didn't know about King Chen taking Jixin Pills, he always firmly believed that Yu Siling's words were false.
Are you here today just to analyze with me whether King Chen will leave Liu Mei alone? Do you have any strategies? Can you tell me?
Mu Yunfang said: It's very simple. As long as the emperor issues an imperial edict to push the six princesses to the Meridian Gate and behead them, King Chen will definitely come to rob them. At that time, you can set up an ambush and catch them all.
Yu Xiuqi rolled his eyes, thinking that this would be a good idea. If Bai Yuxian really dared to come to rob the prisoner, that would be the best. If he didn't come, Yu Siling would have no use value, so he would just kill him.
.
In the past, the second emperor brother always said that the second sister-in-law has no brains, but now it seems that this is not the case. Yu Xiuqi smiled and said, second sister-in-law, don’t worry, if this time you can get rid of the big problem of King Chen, I will definitely give you a big, big deal.
of rewards.
Mu Yunfang felt a sting in her heart. Yu Xiunan not only said that she was brainless in front of others, but also said the same thing in front of her. In the past, she was always unconvinced and got angry with him because of it. Now she just wants to listen to him again.
I can’t even hear myself scolding myself for being brainless.
I don’t dare to ask for rewards, as long as I can kill Yu Siling and King Chen, I will be happy.
So, in less than an hour, Yu Xiuqi had someone draw up an imperial edict, and sentenced the sixth princess Yu Siling to be beheaded for collaborating with the enemy. Three days later, she was beheaded at the Meridian Gate for public display.
The notice was quickly posted all over the city, making it known to all the people in the city. Within a day, it spread to nearby towns outside the city.
The day before the execution, when Ye Fuxun was thinking about how to save himself, King Jing Yunan suddenly arrived.
After a period of recuperation, his injury was almost healed, and he was no different from before. But when he saw Ye Fuxun, his face was full of sorrow.
Sixth sister, you have suffered!
It seemed that he had heard about Yu Xiuqi's torture to him. Ye Fuxun smiled slightly and said: I don't feel bitter, it's just a few slaps. It's nothing. I'm almost healed now.
, Brother, don’t worry about me.
Yu Xiujun frowned and sighed: I didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel and wanted to behead you, regardless of the feelings of his hands.
Ye Fuxun smiled and said: If he had cared about brotherhood, he wouldn't have killed you before, eldest brother. If he did this to you, let alone me?
Yu Xiujun was silent. To be honest, Yu Xiuqi would not kill anyone who cared about so-called family ties. He only had his own interests in his heart. In fact, this was the case for everyone in the royal family, right?
?
After being silent for a while, Ye Fuxun suddenly asked: Brother, in fact, do you also think that as a Westerner, I only care about my own personal feelings and it is wrong to send King Chen back to Dongchen?
Yu Xiujun shook his head and said: I did not agree with the emperor's sending troops to attack Dongchen from the beginning. King Chen is a rare talent. It would be a pity if he died in the Western Kingdom like this.
If it were me, I would let him go. What's more, he is still your husband. It is natural for you to save him and kill him. There is no right or wrong.
Only Yu Xiujun could say these words. Ye Fuxun thought like this.
Yu Xiujun glanced at Ye Fuxun and said: Actually, the main reason I came to the palace today was to convey a message to you on behalf of King Chen.
King Chen? Ye Fuxun was shocked, and suddenly realized that his voice was too loud, and quickly lowered his voice: You said King Chen? He found you? He returned to the capital?
You are stupid to begin with. How could anyone come back to die on his own? By the way, brother, what message did he ask you to bring to me?
He has arranged everything. Let me tell you that tomorrow Xiao Bin will lead people to rob prisoners on the way to the execution ground. At that time, you and Xiao Bin will go directly to the South City Gate, and someone will meet you there.
What about himself? Ye Fuxun asked hurriedly.
Yu Xiujun replied: Queen of the Palace of King Chen.
The queen? Ye Fuxun couldn't calm down for a moment. His goal was to kill Yu Xiuqi, how could he be the queen?
Yu Xiujun suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said: Don't worry, the prince will have his own way to escape. Anyway, you will be able to leave the capital smoothly tomorrow.
For some reason, Ye Fuxun suddenly believed it involuntarily.
After leaving Jingsi Hall, Yu Xiujun did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the Imperial Study Room to find Yu Xiuqi.
Has the eldest brother visited Liu Mei?
Yu Xiujun nodded and said: Yes, but Liu Mei has such a strong temper that no matter how hard I try to persuade her, she refuses to listen. It seems she would rather die than reveal the whereabouts of King Chen.
Before he went to Jingsi Hall, he had met Yu Xiuqi and asked him for instructions. The reason he used was to persuade Ye Fuxun, so naturally he had to say this now.
Yu Xiuqi was not surprised and said with a smile: Since she is so stubborn, there is nothing she can do. You can't blame me for being ruthless.
Yu Xiujun raised his eyes and glanced at him, then asked: I wonder if the emperor will have an hour or two of free time tomorrow?
