Seeing that Yu Xiuqi seemed to be leaning more towards Yu Yunxuan, Xia Lian finally became a little confused. She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards Yun Jingtang, but the other party didn't even look at her, and just stood with a heavy expression.
"Your Majesty, this slave did not make false accusations against the princess. Everything he said just now is true. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"
Yu Xiuqi still didn't say anything, and thought for a long time before saying: "Now you two are talking about one side of the story, and I don't know who to believe. If you, Sanmei, are telling the truth, I will definitely not mind."
Did you kill Sixth Sister for revenge?"
Yu Yunxuan's heart sank again, she gritted her teeth secretly and said, "Of course, if you hadn't thought that Sixth Sister was still valuable and kept her in the palace, I would have killed her long ago."
"In that case, I will give you a chance to prove yourself. If you really kill Liu Mei, it will naturally prove that you are telling the truth, and this maid is lying. I can forget about it and fulfill my promise to you.
." Yu Xiuqi said firmly.
Yu Yunxuan suppressed the panic in her heart and asked: "Didn't the emperor say earlier that there is still any use in keeping the sixth sister? Why are you willing to let me kill her now?"
"At this moment, I suddenly felt that I had changed my mind again. Why is Third Sister unhappy?"
"Of course, I'm happy. This is what I've always wanted to do the most." Yu Yunxuan forced a smile and said, "When will Brother Huang let me do it?"
Yu Xiuqi replied: "Tomorrow, I still have some questions to ask her. Tomorrow I will hand her over to you. I want to see you kill her with my own eyes."
"What? You want to see her?" Yu Xiuqi looked surprised.
"Is there any question? I also have something to ask Sixth Sister. She should be the last person to see the mother-in-law. I want to know if the mother-in-law left any words before she died. That's all. Brother Huang, don't you?
You won’t even agree to this, right?”
"Of course not," Yu Xiuqi thought to himself. Regardless of whether Yu Yunxuan's words were true or not, it wouldn't cause any trouble in the palace, so it would be okay to just let them meet. "You can go if you want, I'm here."
Shu Ning Palace."
"Thank you, my dear brother. I will take my leave." Yu Yunxuan turned around, glanced at Yun Jingtang, and left.
After Yu Yunxuan walked away, Yun Jingtang said: "Your Majesty, do you really think that this can prove whether the third princess's words are true or false?"
"Yun Aiqing, I have my own judgment and I don't need your comment."
The reason why he did so many things was not because Yu Xiuqi cared so much about the truth or falsehood of Yu Yunxuan's words, but because he was always thinking about the Dongchen military defense map.
If Yu Yunxuan told the truth and he killed her, he would not be able to get the defense map, so he had to be careful.
"emperor……"
Yu Xiuqi interrupted him, "Yun Aiqing, please go down with your witnesses first. As Third Sister said, you'd better think more about how to protect the Yun family. I receive joint petitions from ministers every day.
, it will give me a headache if I punish you."
Yun Jingtang reluctantly lowered his head and bowed to leave. It seemed that Yu Xiuqi was determined to get rid of the Yun family. If there was really no other way, he could only take the last step.
When they arrived at Shu Ning Palace, Ye Fuxun was sitting in the garden basking in the sun. When he saw Yu Yunxuan coming, he was very surprised: "Third Sister, why are you here? Isn't the Imperial Brother not allowing anyone to come in or out?"
"Sixth sister, I don't know what to do now." Yu Yunxuan frowned, with a look of panic on her face.
Ye Fuxun asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
Yu Yunxuan looked around, and for the convenience of talking, she took Ye Fuxun into the dormitory. When no one was around, she told Ye Fuxun what had just happened in the imperial study.
Ye Fuxun said: "Third sister, just do what he said."
"What? You want me to kill you?"
"Of course I don't want you to really kill me." Ye Fuxun explained: "Yu Xiuqi still wants to use me to deal with King Chen. I don't think he will really let you kill me like this.
He just wants to test you. After all, if you know the truth about Concubine Yun's death, it will be a threat to him, so he has to be cautious."
Yu Yunxuan said while thinking: "No wonder he said he would hand you over to me tomorrow. He must be preparing something so that he can test me tomorrow and keep your life at the same time."
"Exactly." Ye Fuxun nodded.
"But this is just our guess. What if the emperor changes his mind and really wants me to kill you?"
"This... if this is the case, one person will definitely die between you and me. If you don't kill me, he will kill you. This is a difficult choice." Ye Fuxun's tone became extremely heavy, and his heart
Ask yourself, how did everything come to this point.
"If you really have no choice, just let me die. I have killed so many people and my sins are serious. I should have died long ago." Yu Yunxuan said sadly, "I just couldn't avenge my mother and concubine. I
I really can’t reconcile myself to it.”
Ye Fuxun turned to look at Yu Yunxuan, held her hand, and comforted her: "Third Sister, before we reach this stage, there will definitely be a way for both you and me to survive."
"You are always stronger and more optimistic than me." Yu Yunxuan's eyes were filled with a dark color. She was already giving up hope.
Ye Fuxun frowned deeply and finally thought of a desperate solution. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out the only black pill inside, and said, "Third Sister, do you know what kind of medicine this is?"
Yu Yunxuan looked at her doubtfully and shook her head.
"This is a drug of suspended animation. If a person takes it, he will fall into a state of suspended animation within two hours. He will have no breathing and his body will be cold, just like a dead person." Ye Fuxun said slowly.
Yu Yunxuan's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly: "Seriously? Is there such a magical medicine in this world?"
"I got this from a senior with excellent medical skills. It is his secret pill. It is very rare." This senior is Zhou Yan.
She accidentally saw it when she and Bai Yuxian asked for medicine from him before, so she asked for it. She was just curious at first, but she didn't expect that it would actually come in handy today. She had carried it with her for so long that she almost forgot about it.
Yu Yunxuan finally showed a smile and said excitedly: "With this medicine, we can change from passive to active and hide the truth."
Ye Fuxun nodded and said: "Yes, no matter what result Yu Xiuqi wants, we will give him the result of you killing me. Even if he is dissatisfied afterwards, he can't do anything to you."
"Then the best time is now," Yu Yunxuan quickly thought, "Sixth sister, you will take the fake death medicine, and I will go to Yu Xiuqi and admit that I have killed you.
In this case, although he will blame me, there is nothing he can do about it. When you are transported out of the palace, you will be able to escape safely and kill two birds with one stone."
As Yu Yunxuan spoke, she was about to stand up when she got excited. Ye Fuxun quickly pulled her back and said, "Third sister, don't be anxious yet. We must be fully prepared before we can act. We can't let Yu Xiuqi see any flaws."
