Yu Yunxi walked over slowly and asked, “Aunt, that maid called Shan Fu is your servant, right?”
“That little b*tch is indeed my servant, but I didn’t know…”
Yu Yunxi interjected, saying, “That’s enough. I just want to confirm that she’s your servant.”
Then, Yu Yunxi turned to look at Chu Zai before she continued to say, “Your Majesty, Aunt has already confirmed that the servant is hers. Also, the servant only had an opportunity to act earlier because Aunt asked her to teach Meng Xia a lesson. However, all of a sudden, that maidservant tried to kill me.
Yu Yunxi sighed, looking aggrieved before she continued to say, “If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I’m afraid I’d be a corpse now.”
“Yu Yunxi, don’t you dare frame me. You…”
Yu Yunxi asked Chu Changlin again, “Aunt, just tell me. Do you want me to
Chu Changlin’s gaze was cold.
‘Is this little b*tch trying to set a trap for me? I naturally want her to die, but how can I admit it now?’
Chu Changlin raised her head and said firmly, “You’re my niece. Why would I want you to die?”
“Is that so? Then swear to the heavens that you don’t hate me and that you don’t want me to die. Swear that you don’t mind the matter between my father and my mother,” Yu Yunxi said unhurriedly as she smiled mockingly.
Chu Changlin’s expression was extremely unsightly at this moment.
‘How can I swear? I’ve dreamed of killing those who made me unhappy…’
Chu Changlin turned around and complained to Chu Zai, “Imperial Brother, Yu Yunxi is quibbling. That has nothing to do with tonight’s incident. There’s no reason for me to harm you!”
Yu Yunxi remained calm as she said, “Your Majesty, I feel that the matters are not completely unrelated. Although I’m certain if Aunt truly intended to harm you, the fact that the assassins were able to get close to you has everything to do with her.”
Yu Yunxi continued to say, “If Shan Fu didn’t suddenly attack me, the imperial guards’ attention wouldn’t have been diverted away from you. Because of that, the assassins were able to get close to you so quickly, Your Majesty.”
Yu Yunxi spoke very nonchalantly, but each of her words seemed to be sentencing Chu Changlin to death.
“No, you little b*tch! Don’t you dare frame me! Imperial Brother, listen to me…”
However, Yu Yunxi’s words were already echoing in Chu Zai’s mind. His biggest flaw was that he was overly suspicious. Although he did not trust Yu Yunxi, her words had successfully aroused his suspicion toward Chu Changlin.
Chu Zai said lightly, “Sister, I remember you were very unwilling to marry into the Qiangwu Tribe back then.”
Chu Zai and Chu Changlin were siblings after all. As soon as she heard his words, she understood what he meant immediately. She said shrilly, “Imperial Brother, indeed, I felt unwilling in the past. However, you’re my biological brother! Why would I harm you?”
Chu Zai sneered. “Ha, that’s hard to say…”
‘After all, there’s no kinship in the imperial family.’
It was obvious that Chu Zai did not trust Chu Changlin at all. He said sternly,
“You want to prove your innocence, right? Where’s your servant?”
As though she had suddenly found hope, Chu Changlin said excitedly, “That’s right! We’ll know the truth once we find that b*tch!”
Chu Zai looked away in disgust and ordered, “Guards, find her. You must find her!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Many people trembled in fear when they saw the unsightly expression on Chu Zai’s face.
On the contrary, Yu Yunxi was very calm. It was as though nothing had happened. She raised her head and continued to say, “As for the Seventh Prince, the chances of him being innocent are even smaller.”
“B*tch, what did you say?” Chu Yuemu bellowed.
Yu Yunxi ignored Chu Yuemu’s threatening gaze and said loudly, “Everyone saw the Seventh Prince stabbing his sword at the Emperor earlier. If he was not trying to harm the Emperor, then what is it?”
Chu Yuemu retorted through gritted teeth, “That’s because someone hit my knee, and I could not control myself.”
Yu Yunxi glanced at Chu Yuemu and asked, “Oh. Do you have proof then? Who hit your knee?”
Chu Yuemu could not answer the question at all.
Just as Chu Yuemu was about to protest again, Chu Zai scolded, “Enough!”
Chu Yuemu’s heart sank.
‘Imperial Father doesn’t believe me! This b*tch is trying to get me killed!’ Chu Yuemu glared at Yu Yunxi with eyes filled with hatred.
However, Yu Yunxi was still very calm. Since Feng Yili had set the trap, she naturally had to help him.
Silence descended on the hall. Everyone did not dare to make any sound due to Chu Zai’s anger.
After some time. the leader of the imoerial guards rushed in and reDorted.
“Your Majesty, we’ve found the King of Youshan.”
Chu Yuemu was overjoyed. With this, he felt that he would be able to prove his innocence. He shouted, “Hurry up and drag him in to beg for forgiveness!” Chu Zai rose to his feet and said coldly with narrowed eyes, “Bring him to me.”
Unexpectedly, a troubled expression appeared on the imperial guard’s face as he said, “Your Majesty, someone tried to assassinate the King of Youshan, and he’s seriously injured.”
‘What?’
Yu Yunxi’s heart sank, and she almost lost her balance. She was very frightened, but she kept comforting herself inwardly, ‘No. This is part of Feng Yili’s plan. He’s fine. He’s fine.”
Finally, Chu Ruishi, who had been silent all this time, asked angrily, “What the hell is going on?”
Back then, Chu Ruishi had a very close relationship with the former King of Youshan. They were like brothers. However, when the former King of Youshan was in trouble, he was in seclusion and thus, unaware of the matter. If something really happened to the grandson of the former King of Youshan, he would feel embarrassed to face his good friend who had risked his life for him.
At this time, a weak but still dignified voice rang from the door.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Everyone looked up and saw Jiang Ying walking in with Feng Yili. Feng Yili was still wearing his mask, but his mask and his clothes were drenched in blood.
When Yu Yunxi smelled the strong stench of blood, her legs weakened, and she almost fell to the ground.
“Eldest Princess!”
Meng Xia hurriedly supported Yu Yunxi.
“I’m fine,” Yu Yunxi said as she shook her head, forcing herself to be strong. When she looked up and met Feng Yili’s reassuring gaze, her heart finally calmed down.
‘It’s fine. I should trust him. He must be fine.’
Chu Zai narrowed his eyes as he sized Feng Yili up and asked, “King of
Youshan, what happened to you?”
At the same time, Chu Ruishi roared, “Where are the imperial doctors? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and treat the King of Youshan’s injuries!”
Feng Yili said coldly, “Emperor Emeritus, Emperor. Ever since I came to the capital, I could tell that someone was monitoring the King of Youshan’s
Residence. Unexpectedly, when I was making my way to the state banquet today, I was attacked and almost lost my life.”
“Such a thing happened? Where are the imperial doctors? Hurry up and take a look at the King of Youshan,” Chu Zai said as his eyes flashed. He wanted the imperial doctors to examine Feng Yili to see if Feng Yili’s injuries were as serious as Feng Yili had said..
