When Old Madam Nangong learned that the two children's illness was actually Yun Wenshu's doing, she used the same method against her, giving her the polluted water from outside the city as well. When she fell ill and was on the verge of death, she sent her directly back to the Yun residence.
Of course, this Yun family is not the Yun family of Yun Xiao's family. This distant cousin of Old Madam Nangong married a scholar who was studying in another place, despite her family's objections. Over the years...
However, the reason why the Yun family sent Yun Wenshu to the General's Mansion was because their family had fallen on hard times and they had not been doing well in recent years. They wanted Old Madam Nangong to find a wealthy family in the capital for Yun Wenshu so that the Yun family could also benefit from it.
But little did anyone know that Yun Wenshu would take a liking to Nangong Yuan at first sight upon arriving at the General's Mansion, and even did something to harm the General's offspring.
When the Yun family saw the man who had been sent back by the General's Mansion and was on the verge of death, and after hearing about what he had done at the General's Mansion, they were worried that taking him in would offend the General's Mansion, so they simply threw him out of the mansion.
The Ye family and the Yun family lived not far apart. Ye Qixian had liked Yun Wenshu since childhood. Of course, Yun Wenshu also knew that Ye Qixian, this bookworm, liked her, but she didn't think much of him at all. However, she didn't show it on the surface, but instead enjoyed his admiration for her.
After being thrown out by the Yun family, Ye Qixian took her in. She knew Ye Qixian's feelings for her and that he was a stubborn fool, so she told him that the reason she had ended up in this situation was because of Han Yiyi, and she subtly and overtly expressed her desire for him to avenge her.
When Ye Qixian realized that the person in front of him was Old Madam Nangong, his expression did not change. In his opinion, she must be old and confused, which was why she believed Han Yiyi's words.
At this moment, when Madam Nangong learned that this person had attempted to assassinate Han Yiyi because of Yun Wenshu, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"You said you wanted to avenge Yun Wenshu, which is why you assassinated Princess Yun. Could it be that Wenshu told you that it was Han Yiyi who harmed him back then?!"
"Of course, Wenshu wouldn't lie. She said it was because she unintentionally gained the general's favor that Han Yiyi became jealous and framed her. Of course, if you, old lady, hadn't become senile and listened to that vicious woman, Wenshu wouldn't have died!"
Upon hearing Ye Qixian's words, the old lady almost laughed out of anger.
"Since this whole affair started because of this Yun Wenshu, Madam, please tell us exactly what happened back then!"
Emperor Beichen really didn't want to hear Ye Qixian speak anymore. If he listened any longer, Emperor Beichen was afraid that he would lose his temper and have Ye Qixian dragged out and beheaded.
Of course, he would definitely have to be beheaded. Anyone who dared to assassinate the princess would have no way out. But Emperor Beichen considered himself a wise ruler, and even if he had to let him die, he would make sure that he died knowing why.
Upon hearing Emperor Beichen's words, Old Madam Nangong quickly responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
So she recounted in detail how Yun Wenshu, back in the General's Mansion, used the polluted water outside the city to plot against Zicheng and Zihui in order to become the mistress of the mansion.
"Your Majesty, if it weren't for Princess's timely return, the two children would probably be gone by now. In order to let her feel the pain of the two children, I made her drink some unclean water, just like her..."
"You're talking nonsense, it's impossible. Manjushri is so kind, she couldn't have done such a thing. She couldn't possibly lie to me, it's impossible..."
However, before Madam Nangong could finish speaking, Ye Qixian angrily interrupted her.
"Fool, shut your mouth..."
Emperor Beichen couldn't stand this fool making such a racket, so he reprimanded him severely. Seeing that the fool stopped talking, he then spoke to Old Madam Nangong.
"Please continue, Madam!"
"Yes, I originally intended to take her life directly, but later I softened my heart and sent someone to send her back to the Yun family. Because at that time, the princess and the imperial physicians had already devised a prescription to cure the plague, so if the Yun family wanted to save her, they would naturally still have a chance. However, I did not expect that the Yun family would just throw her out!"
"Nonsense, utter nonsense! How could you not have thought of this? You are a member of the General's Mansion. If you just throw someone back to the Yun family like this, the Yun family will be worried about offending your General's Mansion, so naturally they won't dare to keep the person!"
"So, you mean you acknowledge everything Yun Wenshu did at the General's Mansion, and you even think this matter is related to the princess!"
"I, I, Manjushri, she was, after all, a woman. What did she do wrong in order to live a better life? She was so good. If the general had been willing to marry her, she would not have been forced to do such a thing, and she would not have died!"
"Oh!".
Emperor Beichen was so angry at Ye Qixian's sophistry that he laughed. He had originally thought that he should not let Ye Qixian misunderstand Han Yiyi. He had wasted most of the day and even invited the old lady of Nangong over. He did not expect that this person was just a brainless idiot.
Emperor Beichen really didn't want to hear this idiot say another word, so he spoke directly to His Highness.
"Guards, drag this idiot out and execute him!"
Upon hearing Emperor Beichen's words, Ye Qixian's face turned deathly pale with fright. However, before he could speak again, his mouth was stuffed with a rag.
Emperor Beichen glanced at the chief eunuch, raised an eyebrow, and spoke.
"Hmm! Not bad, you deserve a reward!"
"This servant thanks Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Emperor Beichen looked at the old lady Nangong who was still standing in the hall, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.
"Madam, please go back first. General Nangong is protecting Beichen at the border. I hope you can take good care of the two children at home and prevent similar incidents from happening again. If the General's Mansion has any difficulties, you can send the two children to the palace..."
Upon hearing Emperor Beichen's words, Old Madam Nangong's face paled. It was indeed her oversight regarding Yun Wenshu's matter. Later, because of her soft heart, she did not directly take her life, which caused trouble for Han Yiyi. If it weren't for Yun Xiao, Han Yiyi would probably be the one injured now. So she hurriedly knelt down again.
"Yes, yes, it was my fault. Such a thing will never happen again. From now on, I will take extra care of Zicheng and Zihui!"
When Emperor Beichen saw that the old lady of the Nangong family had knelt down, he quickly ordered the chief eunuch to go up and help her up.
"What are you doing, Madam? Get up quickly! If that's the case, go back for now. If you need anything, you can come and find me!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
