She pointed in a direction:

"You should go and have a look. If they are really cheating, you can also catch the evidence in time and punish the Gu family! Uncle Zhang, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Zhang Fei thought about it carefully.

That seems to be the case.

To catch a thief and the stolen goods, to catch an adulterer and his wife, you have to get solid evidence to prove that Gu Jia has bad intentions.

"Girl Yue'er, I'll go over and take a look. You go to the banquet and inform Yunying and the young marquis. How about we split up and act separately?"

"good!"

Zhang Fei nodded and went in the direction Yue'er pointed.

Little did he know that he was heading towards the Gu family's warehouse, a place used to store gunpowder.

Just as I passed by, a violent explosion broke the night sky.

BANG!!

Loud bang!

It was like a flash of thunder past my ears, deafening. The powerful aftermath shook the ears, making branches whistle, grass leaves fly, and gravel splash, scaring the servants so much that they screamed and ran around in panic.

Yue'er's heart felt like it was hit by a huge rock, and it was shaken so hard that she couldn't breathe for a long time.

He stroked his chest and ran over to take a look.

The banquet hall was filled with thick smoke from the bombing, and it was hard to see the specific situation. In the haze, all I could hear was screams in my ears:

“What happened!”

"Why did it explode suddenly?"

"Is anyone injured..."

"Where's the master? Where's the young lady? Someone come quickly..."

Suddenly, Yue'er's feet were grabbed.

"ah!"

She jumped up in fright, and when she looked carefully, the thick smoke and dust dispersed a little, revealing a bloody body lying on the ground. It was... Zhang Fei!

He was closest to the warehouse, and when the gunpowder exploded, he was blown more than 20 meters away. His body was covered in blood, his internal organs were shattered, his bones were broken, his face was bloody, and he was spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. His severed hand was resting on Yue'er's embroidered shoes, and his fallen eyeballs were dripping with blood as he looked at Yue'er.

That look seemed to be asking: Why did you lie to me?

Yue'er had never seen such a bloody scene and was so scared that she kicked him away.

"Well--"

Zhang Fei rolled out and lay on the ground, his spine sticking out, his tilted head still looking at Yue'er.

In his mouth, he took his last breath:

“Yue… Yue’er girl… save, save the princess and Yunying… save Yunying…”

The sound gradually faded...

Yue'er was so scared that her eyes were red, and tears could not stop falling. She fell to the ground with weak legs, looking at Zhang Fei's bloody body. Her mind went blank, and she covered her mouth tightly with her hands:

"I'm sorry... I didn't want to hurt you..."

"Zhang Fei, I'm sorry..."

She started crying uncontrollably.

She still remembered that when she went to the clinic with the princess for the first time, the princess walked away, and a large group of Wujimen's subordinates surrounded her and deliberately teased her.

She thought they were bad guys and was very scared. It was Zhang Fei who dispersed those people and protected her.

She will always remember.

Zhang Fei was gentle and kind to her and the princess. He was always smiling and approachable.

But he died.

Die in front of her.

Yue Er cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this, I didn't mean it... It's all Yun Ying's fault. If she hadn't come to the capital and hadn't met the young marquis, these things wouldn't have happened, and you wouldn't have died."

"Why didn't the person who deserved to die die, while the person who shouldn't have died did? Yunying, don't you feel guilty?"

Zhang Fei is dead.

He was lying flat on the ground, covered in blood, his clothes were tattered and torn, and his bones were shattered and sticking out, bleeding profusely.

Rather than a corpse, it looked more like a large piece of partially chopped meat.

Yue'er pushed all the responsibility onto Yunying. While crying, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out a small bamboo flute from her sleeve.

This is Yunying's bamboo flute.

At that time, Master Jing gave her the bamboo flute, but she forgot to return it to Yunying.

Yue'er's eyes flashed with evil intent, she wiped away her tears, walked forward, smeared the bamboo flute with Zhang Fei's blood, and put it in his hand...
