"Did you do something to the food?" Xiao Yujue stared at You Zhenzhen without avoiding the gaze.
You Zhenzhen admitted it very frankly. "Yes."
"Zhenzhen, you and I are husband and wife, are you really willing to do this to me?"
"Husband and wife?" You Zhenzhen sneered. She slowly stood up and looked down at Xiao Yujue. "Your Highness, you have never considered me your wife."
You Zhenzhen felt a surge of sadness in her heart and her eyes were filled with tears.
"In fact, I already had a lover before I married you. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's decision, how could I have ended up like this today? But after marrying you, I also want to be devoted to you."
"I don't mind whether you are a prince or a commoner, I just want you to give me a little care. But, from beginning to end, you have never given me a bit of love. I know that even if I stay with you for another ten or twenty years, the ending will be the same."
"Just like I treat you, I don't love you, I just don't love you. However, for the sake of my family, I can endure all this. However... I found that I can't achieve my goal just by enduring. Mu Jingyan is deeply loved by you, and he has such a powerful brother."
"When you ascend to the throne in the future, it is unknown whether I can become the queen. Since there is no love and power, why should I stay with you? I don't want to waste my youth alone for you."
You Zhenzhen's words made Xiao Yujue frown involuntarily.
He closed his eyes in pain, took a deep breath and asked, "So, you and him... have betrayed me?"
"That's right."
You Zhenzhen did not feel ashamed, and in her dark eyes, there was even a hint of pleasure in revenge against Xiao Yujue.
Xiao Yujue clenched his fists, anger gradually rising.
He looked at You Zhenzhen coldly and snorted contemptuously. "You still had a chance to survive."
"With you? It's easy for me to kill you now. There are people outside to support you. After you die, the group will be leaderless. No matter how powerful Mu Jingrui is, he will not be able to handle it alone. He can't handle this game alone."
Yes, now that Xiao Yujue is dead, Mu Jingrui has no legitimate reason to go on and can only disband.
You Zhenzhen took out a dagger from her sleeve, lowered her voice, and whispered in Xiao Yujue's ear: "Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for having countless eyes."
After saying that, he raised the dagger and stabbed it towards Xiao Yujue's heart.
Xiao Yujue had a stern look on his face. He raised his hand, grasped You Zhenzhen's wrist, and with a slight force, the dagger fell to the ground.
You Zhenzhen couldn't help but scream in pain.
Xiao Yujue twisted hard, and You Zhenzhen's arm was broken.
He pushed You Zhenzhen hard, and You Zhenzhen fell to the ground, groaning in pain, her face pale.
She looked up at Xiao Yujue, who remained calm, and was shocked and frightened. "You...you are not poisoned?"
Xiao Yujue snorted disdainfully and said, "Have you forgotten that the great doctor Lu Xiangzi is still here? He doesn't even think your little tricks are worth using."
"You knew this a long time ago?" You Zhenzhen was surprised. "That's impossible... Zijun wouldn't betray me."
"I don't know whether he betrayed you or not. You can ask him yourself when you get to the underworld. But... the eldest princess and Xiaoyan came back before you."
Just last night, the eldest princess and Mu Jingyan returned to the camp.
It was only at this time that Mu Jingrui and Xiao Yujue realized that the people who retreated first were in trouble because they were betrayed by You Zhenzhen.
Therefore, when You Zhenzhen came back, Xiao Yujue guessed her purpose.
However, there were some things he wanted to confirm personally.
"When I launched a mutiny and attacked the palace, it was actually you who informed Xiao Zhenting of all my deployments, right?"
You Zhenzhen felt hopeless, and the pain in her arm almost made her lose the ability to think.
"yes……"
You Zhenzhen also guessed that Mu Jingrui would think there was a traitor and conduct a thorough investigation, so she deliberately set up a trap and found a scapegoat.
"Do you have anything else to say to me?" Xiao Yujue asked lightly.
You Zhenzhen looked up at her and said softly, "Your Highness, where is Zijun now?"
"At this moment..." Xiao Yujue looked at the sky outside, "They should have been wiped out and killed by Jing Rui."
You Zhenzhen knew clearly that with Mu Jingrui's wisdom and talent, there was no way they could escape.
"How will His Highness deal with me?"
"What do you think?"
Death is certain.
No man could tolerate his wife having an affair with another man, let alone Xiao Yujue, who was of such a noble status.
"Your Highness, ever since I married you, I have been working tirelessly to take care of the huge Prince's Mansion for you. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard."
"You want to beg for mercy now?"
"No..." You Zhenzhen shook her head sadly, "Your Highness, I am not asking for your forgiveness, I just...please consider the injustice I have suffered over the years and give me a divorce letter so that I can be with Zijun openly after my death..."
Xiao Yujue was stunned.
He didn't expect that You Zhenzhen was so devoted to Zhao Zijun that she still wanted to be with him even when she was about to die.
"Your Highness..." You Zhenzhen endured the severe pain, struggled to crawl to Xiao Yujue's feet, and begged bitterly, "I beg you..."
"Don't even think about it."
Xiao Yujue was furious. He kicked You Zhenzhen away and left angrily.
“Your Highness…”
You Zhenzhen suddenly felt despair and couldn't help bursting into tears.
Mu Jingyan stood outside the door, watching Xiao Yujue's angry back as he walked away, then turned to look at You Zhenzhen.
She recalled many of her past experiences in the Prince's Mansion.
In fact, Mu Jingyan didn't have a deep impression of You Zhenzhen. There wasn't much communication between them, and they both wanted to not disturb each other.
But Mu Jingyan knew in his heart that You Zhenzhen must be having a hard time.
"Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with her?" Mu Jingyan followed Xiao Yujue into the military tent, looked at Xiao Yujue with his back to her, and asked cautiously.
"Poisoned wine, white silk, and a dagger. Take these three things and let her choose for herself. I never want to see her again."
Xiao Yujue's ruthlessness and cruelty made Mu Jingyan feel a little sad.
"Your Highness..." Mu Jingyan stepped forward and took Xiao Yujue's arm, resting his head on his shoulder. "I know you are sad, but..."
Xiao Yujue sighed deeply. "You want to plead for her?"
"She betrayed you and will surely die. I just hope Your Highness can fulfill her last wish. After all, she has done her best in following you all these years."
Xiao Yujue's mood gradually calmed down. He suddenly remembered the wedding day, the bridal chamber, when she lifted up You Zhenzhen's red veil...
