"Crown Princess, why did you want to kill the eldest prince? Weren't you two chatting happily yesterday?"

The maid had already determined that she was the murderer and shouted for the guards.

Gu Yunni knew the current situation and she had no way to defend herself.

Especially since the eldest prince fell beside her bed without any signs of struggle, it seemed that the crime was committed by an acquaintance.

She was the only one living here last night, so she is the biggest suspect.

The Queen of the Western Neighborhood rushed over with her men. Seeing this, her eyes turned red. "Princess, I was kind enough to entertain you, but you actually wanted to kill my son! You must give me an explanation!"

She really acted like that, but Gu Yunni could feel that her emotions did not fluctuate at all.

"There must be some misunderstanding." She said calmly.

"Misunderstanding? No matter what misunderstanding this is, you must explain clearly what happened today." As she said that, she directly ordered the guards to take Gu Yunni to the jail.

Gu Yunni frowned, did not resist, but couldn't understand.

Isn't the eldest prince her son? How could there be such a cruel person? Not even caring about a child?

Sheng Mingyu soon got the news and led his army straight into the palace. Surprisingly, he met Gu Yunni smoothly and took her away to a forest on the back mountain of the palace.

"There must be some misunderstanding this time, Yun Ni, don't worry, I will seek justice for you, just leave here with me first."

Gu Yunni shook her head. "There are too many strange things about this matter. The Queen threw me into jail without any reason. I suspect this matter has something to do with her."

They still have to find the soul-guiding grass, so they can't leave now.

"Don't worry about me for now. If I leave, the army to the west won't let me go."

While no one was paying attention, she slipped a note into Sheng Mingyu's hand, then turned and left the woods.

Gu Yunni had no intention of leaving. She wanted to go back and find out what was going on. She also wanted to find the location of the soul-guiding grass as soon as possible.

When the Queen to the west saw her, she did not show any surprise, as if she had known she would come back.

"It seems that the Queen is ready to confess this matter? But I don't understand why you would attack your own son?"

Even tigers don't eat their own cubs, but this guy is so excessive.

"When did I ever say he was my biological son?"

The smile on her lips finally disappeared, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes as she looked at Gu Yunni.

"If you hadn't been so curious last night, none of this would have happened. Ultimately, it's all your fault for being nosy."

Gu Yunni wasn't surprised. She sneered, "I never believed you from the beginning. What you did is eye-opening. I've never seen such a cruel person. And the eldest prince must trust you very much, right? Otherwise, there's no way he wouldn't have even struggled."

The Queen's eyes were already filled with evil intent. "So what? I'm not his biological mother. He's just a bastard."

As she spoke, she lifted the quilt.

Only then did Gu Yunni notice that the emperor next door to her west had been lying on the bed with a dazed look on his face since she had no idea when, and looked as if he had become numb.

"So you've already controlled the emperor. No wonder he does what you say, no matter what you say."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. The emperor was clearly filled with grief and anger, but he still gave up chasing them because of her words.

The Queen to the west sneered, "Do you think I would be interested in such a fellow? And would I be willing to bear children for him? I am merely using him. He carries dragon energy, so of course he has considerable value!"

As she spoke, she put on her clothes and walked in front of Gu Yunni.

"You're really hard to deal with. I've already sacrificed a chess piece, and yet you're still alive."

Gu Yunni could feel that there was some unusual aura about her, and she must be a fellow traveler.

"It turns out I was mistaken. I didn't expect that the Queen of our western neighbor is also a magician."

"It's just a superficial understanding." But the movements of her hands said otherwise.

She wanted Gu Yunni to die, so she used killing moves at every step. This situation was really hard to cope with.

Gu Yunni felt a little bit tired, probably because of the imperial aura in her body.

"Don't worry, you can't beat me." She looked at the blood at the corner of Gu Yunni's mouth with a smile, her eyes full of cruelty.

"Don't even think about it."

If she took a step back, she would surely die a more miserable death.

"Even if you persist, what will happen? Won't you still die in my hands in the end? Look at how miserable you are now. Wouldn't it be better to admit defeat sooner? In fact, I really admire you. Why don't you stay and work for me? You can also keep your life."

She said it very easily, but Gu Yunni didn't seem to want to agree. "You're dreaming."

"Dreaming? Well, since you're so stubborn, then stay here. It's such a shame to waste such a good talent."

There was a trace of regret on the face of the Queen to the West, but her hands never stopped moving, and it was obvious that she was not prepared to stop.

"Yun Ni!" Just when I was about to give up, the door of the palace suddenly opened.

There was still sweat on Sheng Mingyu's forehead, but Gu Yunni no longer cared about that.

"Mingyu, come stand next to me."

Sheng Mingyu didn't know what was going on, but he followed her instructions and walked to her side.

Gu Yunni pulled a hair from his bun without hesitation.

With the True Dragon Qi in hand, the Ziwei Emperor Qi was faintly suppressed. Gu Yunni seized this opportunity, bit her finger, and drew a phantom in the air.

Suddenly, the queen next door vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"How is that possible!" She looked at Sheng Mingyu with a bit of greed in her eyes.

"Don't even think about the true dragon energy on him. With me protecting him, you will never be able to get close to him." Gu Yunni couldn't help but sneer at her expression.

"Do you think this is the end? I will never let you go." The Queen to the West spat out a mouthful of blood with a cold expression.

She almost killed Gu Yunni just now, so it was impossible for her to give up just like that.

"Where are the Imperial Guards?" the emperor lying on the bed suddenly asked.

Suddenly, a large number of royal guards rushed in.

"Catch these two men." The emperor's eyes were still dull, and he was still in a controlled state.

Knowing that they were outnumbered, Gu Yunni quickly pulled Sheng Mingyu out of the palace, and the two fled all the way to the city gate.

The guard at the door tried to stop them, but Gu Yunni slapped him away, not forgetting to ask, "Mingyu, did you get the Soul-Guiding Grass?"
