And now Nie Yi is an opportunity given to him by the eldest princess.

A chance to redeem himself.

Li Sangui grabbed Nie Yi again and said, "Nie Yi, give me an explanation."

Nie Yi didn't expect that after he had finally escaped from Sang Yu's hands, he would now fall into Li Sangui's hands.

He opened his mouth, which was covered in blood, and it took him a long time to utter a complete sentence. "I... I don't know. This... was all done... by the people... below... I just... know about this..."

Li Sangui was furious. "Didn't you order this? Who would dare to do it without your order?"

He may not have understood it before, but now after following the eldest princess for these years, he also understood why Nie Yi chose their family.

Naturally, it was because their family had no roots and no connections to be easily manipulated, and he was restless and easy to deceive, making him a perfect scapegoat after something happened. Nie Yi and the others naturally wanted to find any evidence to accuse them of, because they had no ability to turn the tables, and no one was willing to go to the government to make trouble and seek justice for their family.

They really have it in their control, and those in power don't even know their names.

In Nie Yi's eyes, they were just ants that could be crushed to death with just a wave of his hand.

Li Sangui threw Nie Yi out angrily. He watched Nie Yi vomit blood again and again, and the anger in his body subsided a lot.

Finally, while Nie Yi was still breathing, he asked, "Tell me, who else was involved in the Princess's affair back then? You'd better explain everything completely, otherwise, I will kill you right now."

Nie Yi was completely terrified at this moment, so he naturally spoke without hesitation, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. What happened back then was ordered by King Yong. Besides me, there was Qi Ye, Marquis Yongbo, and Duke Yongchang, as well as some other people in the court. King Yong bribed almost half of the officials in the court in order to start a palace coup and completely drag the princess into it."

"He knew that the princess possessed the power of her bloodline and that ordinary poisons were ineffective, so he deliberately took advantage of the time when that old man, Nie Yuandong, was talking to him and drugged Nie Yuandong."

"The princess is most afraid of knockout drugs, which can make her feel weak all over."

"Yong Ba Wang then teamed up with Cang Dongyu and pretended to poison Cang Dongyu's food, making her think that Cang Dongyu was poisoned."

"At that time, the eldest princess was wholeheartedly protecting Cang Dongyu, so she naturally had no doubts. In order to save Cang Dongyu, she took the risk and rescued him regardless of her own danger.

At that time, Yong Ba Wang allied himself with many people, even the maidservant beside the eldest princess. He did not know how he had tricked her into switching sides and joining Yong Ba Wang's camp. In the end, when the eldest princess was at her weakest, he lied that the secret room he had prepared had been discovered.

"The princess had an unusual amount of trust in the maid at the time, so naturally she had no doubts. She turned and ran towards the route that Yong Bawang had arranged in advance."

"There is a fire prepared by Yong Bawang in advance. The princess has no way to retreat if she goes there, not to mention that she is carrying the poisoned Cang Dongyu with her."

"That's what everyone thought at the time." Nie Yi took a deep breath, as if lost in thought. "The princess unexpectedly led everyone to the edge of the cliff. Everyone held their breath."

"Are you curious why?"

Nie Yi paused at this point, then looked up and asked Li Sangui. Li Sangui naturally didn't answer, so Nie Yi continued, "Because the princess was so calm at that time, she seemed to see through every one of our thoughts. It's not so much that she was forced to go to the cliff, but rather that she saw through all our routes and deliberately came to the edge of the cliff."

"I still clearly remember the eldest princess's expression and what she said at that time."

"She was confident at that time. Even though there was a huge fire ahead, which she feared the most, she didn't frown even once, and she didn't even loosen her hands to protect Cang Dongyu."

"But in the end, she was pushed off the cliff by her brother, Cang Dongyu, whom she had protected with her life."

"It was only after the princess was pushed off the cliff that I realized Cang Dongyu wasn't poisoned. After pushing the princess off the cliff, Cang Dongyu remained silent, not saying a word, and showing no reaction to anything. Later, he seemed to have become a completely different person. He began to live a life of debauchery, getting drunk all day, and dealing with state affairs perfunctorily. There were also more and more beauties in the palace."

"Of course, the ministers in the court also became increasingly opposed. Later, Cang Dongyu punished several officials, and gradually the voices of opposition from the ministers in the court decreased. When Cang Dongyu was in a good mood, he would occasionally handle state affairs. Despite this, the voices of dissatisfaction with Cang Dongyu in the court became more and more serious."

"These words and this situation are what Yong Bawang has always wanted. He is naturally very happy and has secretly started his own round of layout. But I don't know what happened to Yong Bawang later. He is a bastard who will destroy the bridge after crossing the river. After persuading us to participate together, he didn't even show his face when we encountered problems. It is obvious that he intends to draw a clear line between us."

After Nie Yi finished speaking, he burst into self-deprecating laughter, and Li Sangui couldn't help feeling distressed when he heard his words.

Sang Yu, that strong and bright woman, never expected to suffer so much.

“You…ah…”

Li Sangui pinched Nie Yi's neck and exerted force with his hands. Soon Nie Yi's head tilted and he died.

Li Sangui threw Nie Yi aside in disgust, and then ran towards Sang Yu with determination.
