Sun Jiayi was not in a hurry to save her and let Lin Wan'er struggle in the lake.
She doesn't care whether Lin Wan'er is dead or alive. It would be best if Lin Wan'er died. One life is worth another life. Yun Fengyi will definitely die!
Sun Jiayi's face was filled with anger, and she demanded fiercely, "Yun Fengyi, you are so bold! Now that the evidence is irrefutable, do you admit your guilt?"
If Xiao Yan had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have almost believed these people's lies.
One thing leads to another, and the pressure is getting tighter and tighter, leaving him no room for maneuver at all. The fights between the women in the palace are also bloody, and being in it is even more dangerous than being in the court.
He would never let Xiaoyun get involved in such a struggle. When he ascended the throne one day, he would only want Xiaoyun!
Xiao Yan sneered, "She scratched her face and jumped down by herself. She is framing me. Can't the princess see that?"
Sun Jiayi's rage intensified. "A woman's appearance is so important. What kind of woman would destroy her appearance to frame you? Besides, the lake water is icy cold. Jumping in would be very harmful. Unless she didn't want to live, why would she jump in?"
"Lin Liangyuan's status and position are superior to yours. Would she risk her life to frame a criminal slave like you?"
Lin Wan'er was indeed able to swim, but she had already lost all her strength in struggling. Seeing that she was about to sink, she could no longer pretend. She swam hard towards the shore, shouting, "Save me! Princess, save me!"
Sun Jiayi seemed to have just realized what was happening. She turned around and shouted angrily, "You bastards! Why don't you go down and save her? If anything happens to Lin Liangyuan, I will kill you!"
Two eunuchs who could swim jumped in and quickly rescued Lin Wan'er who had swam to the shore.
Lin Wan'er choked on a lot of water and lay on the ground like a dead fish, with one arm hanging down and unable to move. The wound on her face was soaked white and turned inside out, revealing the hideous flesh.
Sun Jiayi winked at Xiaoqing, who immediately stepped forward to help Lin Wan'er up, then took out an exquisite white porcelain bottle and applied the ointment inside on Lin Wan'er's face.
"Lin Liangyuan, don't worry. This muscle-growing ointment is a secret medicine from the Imperial Hospital. No matter how severe the injury is, it won't leave scars."
The cool cream dissipated the burning pain on her face. Lin Wan'er had seen the effects of this regenerating cream with her own eyes, so she had no doubts. She immediately knelt down and cried:
"I thank the princess for the medicine. If she hadn't arrived in time, even if I didn't die, my appearance would have been ruined. My life would have been over..."
Sun Jiayi personally helped Lin Wan'er up and comforted her, "I'm here, Lin Liangyuan, don't be afraid. If you have any grievances, just tell me. I will definitely take care of it for you."
Lin Wan'er trembled, her eyes filled with fear, and she cried even harder. "I happened to be passing by here admiring the scenery. Yun Fengyi was extremely overbearing. She said I stayed here to seduce His Highness. When she failed to drive me away, she broke my wrist."
"She was jealous of my beauty and scratched my face, not satisfied. She then pushed me into the water. All my maids saw it, as did many passing palace servants. Everything I said is true. If I lied, I will be struck by five thunders and die a miserable death!"
Several palace maids appeared out of nowhere and said in unison that they saw Yun Fengyi committing a crime, and their descriptions sounded very detailed.
Xiao Yan was already very impatient, "I broke your wrist because you wanted to push me into the water! Get out of here! I don't have time to tangle with you."
As soon as Sun Jiayi gave an order, someone immediately stopped "Yun Fengyi".
In addition to the eunuchs and maids, there was actually a team of guards guarding the lake. Although there were only a few of them, they were equipped with bows and arrows and swords. Such a configuration was obviously not something that a mere prince's wife could mobilize.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan would not be afraid of any number of guards, but today he was using Xiaoyun's body, so he didn't dare to make any big movements for fear of hurting Xiaoyun.
"Sun Jiayi! Do you understand your own identity? You are His Highness's consort, not Concubine Wu's lackey! Withdraw the guards, and I will plead with His Highness on your behalf."
Sun Jiayi burst into laughter and simply stopped pretending. "Empress Wu wants you dead, and so do I! If you don't die, His Highness will be obsessed with you. No matter how good I am to His Highness, he won't notice."
"Wen Lan comes to your room every day just to see His Highness. Do you really think you can monopolize His Highness for the rest of his life? I am His Highness's legitimate wife! I am just a criminal slave. If I kill you today, His Highness may be angry, but he won't dare to destroy me. We still have a long way to go, and His Highness will definitely reconcile with me."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiao Yan's forehead. He only thought about protecting Xiaoyun. Wei Ling followed Xiaoyun, and those secret guards disguised as eunuchs also followed Xiaoyun. He actually forgot that he would be in danger.
A steady stream of people rushed towards him, and there was a bottomless lake on his side. He tried his best to dodge, waiting for an opportunity to push these people into the lake.
Sun Jiayi was anxious and roared, "Idiots! They are all idiots! With so many people, they can't even catch a woman! Just shoot her and kill her! I will reward you handsomely!"
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow broke through the air and aimed at the heart of "Yun Fengyi".
Xiao Yan immediately grabbed a eunuch and stood in front of him. The eunuch was hit in the stomach by an arrow and let out a shrill cry.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan threw the eunuch into the lake. Faced with life and death, he didn't care about the pregnancy. After kicking down a few people, he flashed and rushed to Sun Jiayi in an instant, grabbing her neck.
"Stop! Or I'll kill her!"
Sun Jiayi widened her eyes in horror and screamed, "Stop, stop! Stop shooting! Do you want to kill me?"
The eunuchs did not dare to move, and the guards also stopped, but the arrows were still on the bowstrings, ready to attack at any time.
Sun Jiayi's legs were shaking. If she hadn't been strangled by someone, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Yun Fengyi, let's talk it out. After all, we don't have any deep hatred. I didn't intend to kill you, but you insisted on going against me. If you had confessed your crime earlier and waited for His Highness to come back and decide, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. Why don't you just let me go, and we..."
Xiao Yan pinched harder, and Sun Jiayi rolled her eyes and couldn't say a word.
"Princess, please shut up! If I let you go, I'll be shot to pieces! Please stay with me until His Highness returns."
"Everyone get out of the way, I want to go back to Xiaozhu Garden!"
As long as someone in Xiaozhuyuan goes to report the news, Xiaoyun will be back soon and he will be safe.
Xiao Yan had only taken two steps holding Sun Jiayi when he suddenly felt a dull pain in his stomach, as if all his internal organs were mixed together. The pain was so severe that his vision went black.
Sun Jiayi finally pried open Yun Fengyi's hands. She no longer cared about saving face, and rolled on the ground, roaring, "Shoot! Kill her!"
