But after meeting Xiao Yun and with so many people surrounding them, she didn't want to destroy the last bit of reputation of the An family.
So she asked, "Why does Your Highness think that someone else did this with me, and why don't you think I did it alone?"
Xiao Yun said, "You are in the cold palace and can hardly protect yourself, so how can you have the energy to do such a thing? I guess someone wants to work with you. The two of you teamed up to hurt Qiao Yuge. Both of you are prejudiced against Qiao Yuge."
"I am willing to give you a chance, but if you don't want to say it, then there is nothing I can do. Do you choose to die by yourself or take that person with you?"
The moment these words were spoken, someone in the crowd behind took a step back. That person turned out to be Hua Yu.
Hua Yu didn't expect Xiao Yun to be so smart and saw through her trick at once.
But she couldn't admit it at this moment.
Because if she admitted it, she would be the next to die.
It was impossible for Xiao Yun to spend so much manpower and resources to make everyone in the harem know about this matter.
What Xiao Yun wanted to prove was how important Qiao Yuge was to him.
Anyone who dares to target Qiao Yege will be killed.
If Hua Yu was really exposed, would he be killed directly?
Even though she is from Huawu Country, she cannot escape.
Xiao Yun stood in front of Concubine An with his hands behind his back, just to see if Concubine An was willing to admit the affair.
It would be best if she admitted it. If she didn't admit it, Xiao Yun would have to use some other methods.
Anyway, in short, Xiao Yun has to expose the accomplice behind this.
Concubine An seemed to already know what Xiao Yun meant.
She raised her eyes and in the light of the fire, she saw Hua Yu standing at the back of the crowd.
When Hua Yu met her eyes, she hurriedly turned her gaze away, obviously not wanting to meet Concubine An's eyes.
Concubine An just smiled for a moment, then straightened her back and said to Xiao Yun: "I did this by myself, no one else did this with me. Is there anyone in the harem who hates Qiao Yuge more than me?"
Xiao Yun frowned and asked him impatiently, "Why do you hate Qiao Yege? The decline of your An family is not because of Qiao Yege, but because your An family is too ambitious and wants to seize power and usurp the throne, so you have ended up like this."
"Do you know what the problem with you as a woman is? You always put the cart before the horse, never understand the cause and effect of love, and always put all the blame on the person you want to blame. But what's the point of that?"
Concubine An was not polite. After all, everyone knew what women were thinking. It was all caused by jealousy.
She then said to Qiao Yuge: "Because I am jealous of Qiao Yuge, I am jealous that she is very beautiful. I can't understand why she can win your favor?"
Her voice was loud and impolite, and it was obvious that she had been holding these words in for a long time.
"I have been in the harem for such a long time. I am a noble concubine. I should have been favored by you, but you never treated me as your wife and married me. For such a long time, you have never even spent a night with me. Have you ever thought about what I am thinking?"
"I thought you wouldn't like any woman, but Qiao Yuge's sudden appearance proved that it's not that you don't like women, but that you haven't met that special woman. I can't suppress my jealousy. I'm very jealous of her. I hope to see her live a miserable life. It's that simple!"
"Even though my life is already very difficult now, I still want to see her living a life even worse than mine."
The wind was whistling around.
When Concubine An said these words, her eyes sparkled and she looked at him as if she was possessed by a demon.
Xiao Yun looked up at Concubine An. This was the first time Concubine An said such words in front of him.
However, Xiao Yun thought she was quite frank.
So Xiao Yun sneered and said: "You should remember that I am unwilling to judge your case here, nor do I want to listen to your inner thoughts. I will give you one last chance. As long as you tell me who your accomplice is, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will give you a white silk and you will be hanged here."
Concubine An paused.
She knew that if she attacked Qiao Yuge this time, Xiao Yun would never let her go.
She was even ready to die.
But when Xiao Yun was willing to give her a chance, she still hesitated.
Is she really going to die?
Her life was saved by Xiao Liang by leading troops in battle.
If she died like this, would Xiao Liang be sad?
Should she live on for Xiao Liang?
She looked at Xiao Yun, and then at Hua Yu in the distance.
Hua Yu kept shaking her head and moving backwards, as if she was about to run away.
At that moment, Concubine An never thought that her desire for life was so great.
She had basically blurted it out.
She saw the figure in the distance suddenly disappear into the darkness.
That person seemed unwilling to hear her say this, and had no way of facing the current situation.
So Concubine An said without thinking, "It was the woman Hua Yu who came from Huawu Kingdom. She asked me to do this. She said she wanted to teach Qiao Yuge a lesson, so I agreed."
"She was the one who spread the news that the emperor wanted to release me from the cold palace, and then she would lure Qiao Yuge here, and I would scare Qiao Yuge. We had already agreed on this."
Xiao Yun pursed his lips. He had already known that this would be the result. He just wanted to find evidence to prove that someone had framed Qiao Yuge so that he could teach him a lesson.
Seeing that Concubine An finally named this person, Xiao Yun nodded and then said, "It is indeed her."
This time, not only Hua Yu came, but also the remaining two people from Hua Wuguo.
They all gasped when they heard Concubine An say that Hua Yu had done this evil thing.
The two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Apparently they also knew that Hua Yu had made a big mistake this time!
The girls from Huawu country were already having a hard time making ends meet here, and now Huayuju has done something like this, wouldn't it make it even more difficult for them to stay in the harem?
