'What? Qian Mei is the assassin?'
Yu Yunxi could not wait any longer and quickly walked out.
“Princess Consort, you can't leave!”
The palace servant wanted to stop Yu Yunxi, but Yu Yunxi was too fast.
When Yu Yunxi and Yu Junjin walked out, the palace guards surrounded them immediately.
BoxNovel.com“Princess Regent, you're not allowed to leave this place before the Emperor arrives,” an imperial guard said in a firm tone with a cold expression on his face.
“The Empress Dowager is injured and needs to be treated as soon as possible. Who will save her if you keep me here?” Yu Yunxi asked coldly.
“There's no need for you to worry about this. We have many imperial doctors here. They'll naturally treat the Empress Dowager. It's better for you to stay here and think about how you're going to explain yourself to the Emperor.”
The imperial guard's attitude was extremely unyielding.
“Where's my maidservant?” Yu Yunxi asked.
“She hurt the Empress Dowager. Someone like that deserves to die ten thousand times. She's been apprehended by the imperial guards, and we'll deal with her when the Emperor arrives.”
At this moment, the little bun raised his head and looked at Yu Yunxin with red eyes as he said, “Mother, Aunt Qian Mei wouldn't do such a thing!”
Yu Yunxi's heart was heavy. She naturally knew Qian Mei would not do such a thing. She wondered if the imperial guards would torture Qian Mei. There was also the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager died, how were they going to discover the truth?
Yu Yunxi lowered her head and said to the little bun gravely, “Junjin, protect yourself. ”
The little bun was very smart and understood her intention immediately. He blinked and whispered, “Mother, I understand. You have to protect yourself too. ”
Following that, Yu Yunxi took advantage of the fact that the imperial guards were unprepared and quickly knocked out two of them.
When the others reacted and rushed over, the little bun quickly knocked them out with the powder that Yu Yunxi had given him.
After that, Yu Yunxi ran to the main hall while the little bun ran out of the Empress Dowager's palace. The little bun knew his father was still in the imperial palace, and he wanted to find his father.
When Yu Yunxi arrived at the main hall, she saw many old maids carrying buckets of bloody water out.
Qian Mei was in the courtyard, and a few imperial guards took turns whipping her.
The person instructing the imperial guards was none other than the Empress.
“Tell me, who instructed you to do that?!”
“If you refuse to speak, then I'll whip you until you die!”
The imperial guards whipped Qian Mei as they interrogated her.
“No one told me to do that! I didn't hurt the Empress Dowager! ” Qian Mei said stubbornly.
Upon hearing this, the Empress said coldly, “Shut up! The palace servants saw you! When they came in, they saw the Empress Dowager lying in a pool of blood and you standing with a dagger in your hand! You even have the Empress Dowager's blood on your hand! It seems like you really won't repent until you see the gates of hell! Beat her to death until she confesses!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The imperial guard nodded, preparing to whip Qian Mei again.
Qian Mei was tied to a pillar and could not move at all. Her eyes were blank as though she had resigned herself to death. However, the whip did not fall this time. She was stunned for a moment. After looking up with great difficulty, she saw Yu Yunxi.
“Princess, Princess Consort…” Qian Mei called out tremblingly. Her eyes reddened as soon as she saw Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi held the imperial guard's whip with her hand as she turned around and asked worriedly, “Qian Mei, are you alright?”
Qian Mei did not want Yu Yunxi to worry. She took a deep breath to calm down before she replied, “Princess Consort, I'm fine.”
At this time, the Empress looked at Yu Yunxi and asked lightly, “Princess
Regent, what do you mean by this?”
“Before the truth of the matter is revealed, the imperial guard can't carry out the order of execution,” Yu Yunxi said unyieldingly.
The Empress' eyes flashed upon hearing these words. She shot the imperial guards a look, and they immediately retreated to the side. Then, her arrogance from before seemed to vanish as she said kindly, “Yunxi, assassinating the Empress Dowager is a capital crime. If you intervene, even the Prince Regent won't be able to protect you. We already have sufficient evidence. You should ask your maidservant to confess so she won't implicate you. When the Emperor comes, I'll think of a way to help you.”
Yu Yunxi's eyes glinted coldly when she heard the Empress' words. She knew that the Empress was trying to rope her in due to her relationship with the King of Xinan's Residence and the Prince Regent's Residence. Indeed, she could avoid trouble if she pushed all the blame to Qian Mei. However, how could she abandon Qian Mei if Qian Mei was not the culprit?
“Thank you for your kindness, Empress. However, I believe in my maidservant's character. She definitely will not do anything to harm the
Empress Dowager. Therefore, I'll explain this matter to the Emperor myself.”
“You..
Seeing that Yu Yunxi did not appreciate her kindness, a hint of anger could be seen in the depths of the Empress' eyes. However, when she thought about Feng Yili and the King of Xinan, she suppressed her anger and said gently, “She's just a mere maidservant. Her life is cheap. There's no need to sacrifice yourself for her.”
Just as the Empress was about to continue persuading Yu Yunxi, Consort
Dowager Ning arrived. She had come to see the Empress Dowager today for Yu Junjin's matter. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she heard that something had happened. She asked snappily, “What happened?”
“Consort Dowager, the Princess Regent's maidservant attempted to kill the Empress Dowager with a dagger. The Empress Dowager is now…” a maidservant said, too afraid to finish her words.
However, Consort Dowager Ning understood immediately.
'Is that old b*tch going to die?'
Consort Dowager Ning could barely hide the excitement on her face. She had been openly and secretly fighting the Empress Dowager for many years. Recently, she was forced to lower her head slightly because of Yu Junjin.
Otherwise, she would not have looked for the Empress Dowager at all. After a
moment, after she tamped down her excitement, she recalled that Yu Yunxi's maidservant was accused of assassinating the Empress Dowager. She turned around and saw the Empress and Yu Yunxi. Then, she glanced at Qian Mei and understood what the imperial guards had done.
“If you can't manage your maidservant your well, don't implicate the Prince Regent's Residence and Junjin,” Consort Dowager Ning said unhappily. 'Junjin? Oh, look at how intimately she's addressing him now?'
After that, Yu Yunxi freed one hand and fed Qian Mei the medicine.
Qian Mei did not protest and ate the medicine before she said tremblingly, “Thank you, Princess Consort. I really didn't hurt the Empress Dowager. I don't know why my mind seemed to be in a mess earlier. When I regained my senses, the Empress Dowager was already injured..
“I believe you. Your injury is serious so don't speak anymore,” Yu Yunxi interjected to stop Qian Mei from speaking..
