Chapter 242 Zhao Jing, Let Me Go
Wei Xi looked at the guards behind him and said, "Why don't you hurry up and do it?"
When the guards were about to step forward to arrest Yun Xiangye, the guards in the Princess's Mansion stepped forward to stop them.
"stop!"
Zhao Jing's voice was heard at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
Wei Xi turned around and saw Zhao Jing coming. She said, "Zhao Jing, Yun Xiangye is also an accomplice in drugging the Crown Prince. She must confess her guilt."
Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Wei Xi, then frowned at Zhao Jing, and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Jing, for the sake of our acquaintance, I advise you to stop. If you turn back now, maybe you can save your life."
Zhao Jing walked to Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, Gu Yan and the Princess dared to poison the Crown Prince, which is a serious mistake. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will protect you well. Gu Yan brought this upon himself. He deserves death for the serious crime of treason. His death is not a pity."
Seeing Zhao Jing approaching, Yun Xiangye took two steps back and said, "You are the one who committed the serious crime of treason, and you should be the one who deserves to die!"
Zhao Jing said to Yun Xiangye: "Xiangye, I haven't made you my Imperial Consort yet, how can I die?"
Wei Xi frowned and said, "Zhao Jing, what did you say? You want Yun Xiangye to be the Imperial Consort? This is absolutely not allowed."
Zhao Jing said: "If I say yes, then yes."
Yun Xiangye felt speechless listening to Wei Xi's words. It was still unclear whether Zhao Jing could succeed to the throne. There was no plan yet. The two of them were arguing about whether they could become imperial concubines.
When Zhao Jing reached out his hand to touch Yun Xiangye's face, the guards from the Princess's Mansion saw this and stood in front of Yun Xiangye.
Zhao Jing frowned and said, "Get out of the way!"
The guards were unwilling to give way.
Zhao Jing signaled his subordinates to take action, and several guards started fighting.
After all, two fists are no match for four hands. Yun Xiangye saw that the guards in the princess's mansion were few in number and could not defeat Zhao Jing, who had a larger force on the opposite side. Zhao Jing took the opportunity to grab her wrist tightly.
Yun Xiangye angrily said to Zhao Jing: "Let me go."
Zhao Jing held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly and said, "Come with me to the palace and see how Gu Yan was brought to justice. How did he die in my hands? You should have belonged to me!"
Yun Xiangye felt like vomiting and was nauseous: "Zhao Jing! Let me go."
However, Zhao Jing dragged Yun Xiangye outside the Princess's Mansion. Yun Xiangye stopped struggling, fearing that Zhao Jing would do something to her.
After getting into the carriage, Yun Xiangye sat at the door and looked at Zhao Jing with surprise.
Zhao Jing looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, I will treat you better than Gu Yan and cherish you more. I originally wanted to make you my queen, but Wei Jian promised to raise troops to help me, and asked me to marry his daughter as my queen. I can only make you the Imperial Noble Consort. Don't worry, although you are the Imperial Noble Consort, your status in the harem will only be lower than that of the queen..."
Yun Xiangye could no longer suppress the nausea in her heart and vomited amid the creaking sound of the carriage.
Zhao Jing frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye, "Are you pregnant again?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Yes, so you should give up your dirty thoughts. I will only have one husband in this life, and that is Gu Yan!"
Zhao Jing said coldly: "You were supposed to be my wife. I knew you first, and you swore a poisonous oath to deceive me!"
Yun Xiangye said: "Zhao Jing, don't you understand yet? If you were my beloved, I would never swear such a poisonous oath. I don't want to marry you only because I don't love you.
To be honest, I admit that if you were willing to marry into our Yun family, I might have married you, but that was not because I liked you, but simply because you were a suitable son-in-law.
But Gu Yan... I was willing to marry him, in the beginning it was indeed to repay his kindness, but if I didn't like Gu Yan, I would not agree to such a wedding.
I am not your property. If I don’t love Gu Yan, Gu Yan can’t take me away.”
Zhao Jing stretched out his hand and grasped Yun Xiangye's wrist, wanting to bring her into his arms, "You are mine, Xiangye! From today on, Gu Yan will be sentenced to death, and I will be the supreme ruler of Dasheng! You will be my Imperial Consort."
Yun Xiangye felt disgusted and struggled to get into Zhao Jing's arms: "Zhao Jing, don't touch me."
While struggling, Yun Xiangye got out of the carriage. Even though the carriage did not stop, she covered her lower abdomen and jumped off the carriage.
Zhao Jing saw Yun Xiangye falling to the ground and shouted, "Stop the car! Stop the car now!"
Yun Xiangye ignored the pain in her legs and feet and rushed into the crowded street. She saw Xie Shian from a distance and ran towards him as fast as she could.
Yun Xiangye now hated her usual laziness. She was tired after running a few steps, but she didn't want to be controlled by Zhao Jing anymore. She shouted Xie Shian with all her might and ran towards him.
"Thank you, cousin. Thank you, cousin!"
Xie Shian heard Yun Xiangye's voice, glanced sideways, and saw Yun Xiangye running towards him in a panic, so he hurriedly rode his horse to Yun Xiangye's side.
"Sister-in-law? How did you become so embarrassed?"
When Xie Shian saw Zhao Jing chasing after him, he protected Yun Xiangye behind him and looked at Zhao Jing with a frown, "Prince Chu, what are you doing?"
Zhao Jing looked at Yun Xiangye behind Xie Shian and said coldly, "You won't be able to run away for long. After Gu Yanzhi sentences you to death, you will only come to beg me."
After saying this, Zhao Jing got on the carriage and went to the palace.
Xie Shian looked back at Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath and said, "Take me to see Gu Yan. I want to see Gu Yan."
Xie Shian nodded and said, "Get on my horse."
Yun Xiangye endured the pain in her feet and limped onto Xie Shian's horse, then followed Xie Shian to the palace.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials of the court had gathered.
Yun Xiangye had no official position and was not supposed to enter the hall. But when she saw Gu Yan, she couldn't help but feel worried and aggrieved. She limped into the hall, "Gu Yan."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye who came into the hall with disheveled hair and frayed skirt, and hurried to the palace gate, "What happened?"
Yun Xiangye said aggrievedly: "Just now, Zhao Jing sent soldiers to surround the Princess's Mansion and injured the guards of the Princess's Mansion. He forced me onto the carriage and I had no choice but to jump off. Fortunately, I met my cousin Shi An."
Gu Yan hugged Yun Xiangye in his arms with a distressed look on his face, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have woken you up when I saw you were asleep. I should have brought you with me."
Yun Xiangye cried and said, "Nuonuo! By the way, Nuonuo is still in the Princess's Mansion."
Yun Xiangye then belatedly remembered Nuonuo, and became even more panicked.
"Mother, Nuonuo is here."
Yun Xiangye saw Jingru and Nuonuo beside the eldest princess, and hurried over to hold little Nuonuo in her arms, "Nuonuo."
Gu Yan said, "Nuonuo saw me going out just now and insisted on following me. Fortunately, I took her with me. Are you okay? I saw that you were limping. Did you hurt your leg?"
Yun Xiangye shook her head in pain and said, "I'm not in big trouble."
A voice was heard outside the hall. Gu Yan looked and saw Zhao Jing entering the hall with Emperor Fu's family, Wei Qian, the son of the Duke of Wei, and other supporters.
Xie Zhixuan frowned and looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Zhao Jing, who allowed you to lead troops to surround my Princess's Mansion? Do you know that this crime is treason?"
Zhao Jing said, "Aren't you the one who plotted rebellion? Aunt! Your Princess Mansion teamed up with the Crown Princess to drug His Royal Highness, but there are witnesses. I am here on behalf of my uncle and His Royal Highness to wipe out your family of traitors!"
Zhao Jing glanced at the ministers in the hall and said, "My fellow ministers, we received bad news about His Highness this morning. His Majesty has been seriously ill these past few days. This is all because of the Gu family who poisoned His Highness!
The Gu family is still thinking about supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne so that he can become their puppet. As the blood of the Zhao family and the grandson of the emperor, I naturally cannot watch the Gu family's wolfish ambitions and rebellion. "
Gu Yan frowned and said, "You said that I teamed up with the Crown Princess to drug His Highness. Where is the evidence?"
Zhao Jing said, "Of course there is plenty of evidence. The evidence is Yun Xiangye's cousin, the Crown Princess's biological sister Ye Zhimiao, and your Highness's benefactor, the Yuezhou prefect's daughter Yu Xihe. Both of them can testify that your Gu family drugged your Highness."
