Yunzhi did not answer the question, but said coldly, "Princess, may I bring my uncles out to meet you now?"
The eldest princess was terrified by Yun Zhilu's move. If Yun Zhilu had attacked her just now, she would be the one lying on the ground now.
Yunzhi's move successfully intimidated the Princess, forcing her to have Xu Liang and his family brought up.
Of course, she wasn't stupid; she certainly wouldn't release Xu Liang and the others so easily. After all, she wanted revenge for her son.
Therefore, when Xu Liang's family was brought before Yunzhi, the princess immediately ordered her men to hold longswords to their necks and said to her, "Yunzhi, the people you want to see are all here. If you want to save them, it's easy. Just mutilate yourself once, and I'll release one of them. How about that?"
With hostages in hand, the princess grew bolder. She believed that no matter how capable Yunzhi was, she couldn't possibly save four people at the same time.
If Yunzhi dares to make a move, she dares to kill one of them.
Upon hearing the princess's words, before Yunzhi could reply, the Xu family members shouted at the same time, "Zhizhi, no!"
They would rather die than let Yunzhi get hurt.
Hearing her uncles' shouts, Yunzhi smiled reassuringly at them, then looked at the Princess and asked, "How do you want me to harm myself?"
"It's simple. If you lose any one of your limbs, I'll release one person. How about that?"
"Your method is indeed excellent; I've learned something new today."
"Since you think it's good, let's begin. I'll start counting now. If I count to ten and you haven't made a move, then it will be considered that you've given up on them, and I'll start killing one of them."
"Zhizhi, don't listen to her. Even if you hurt yourself, she won't let us go."
"Yes, Quanzhi, don't be so foolish. We're not worth you hurting yourself."
"Zhizhi, it's all my fault for being useless and dragging you down with me."
“Zhizhi, I’d rather die than see you hurt yourself. This princess is wicked. Once you’re injured, it will be easier for her to kill us.”
Hearing what the Xu family said, the princess was very displeased and directly ordered her subordinates, "Gag them."
Seeing that her subordinates had gagged the men, the princess looked at Yunzhi again and said, "Yunzhi, have you thought it through? I'm going to start counting now."
Yunzhi looked at the Princess calmly and said, "Princess, do you really have to do this?"
"What, are you scared?" The princess became smug, glaring fiercely at Yunzhi, and said, "Since you are also afraid of death, then why did you kill my son?"
Looking at the agitated Princess, Yunzhi frowned and said, "I didn't kill your son. Besides, your son ordered someone to kill me, so he has no one to blame but himself."
"You may not have killed my son, but he died because of you. So, I want you to be buried with my son."
“That won’t do. I have no relation to your son and am not suitable to be buried with him.” Yunzhi shook her head and said, “Why don’t you go down and join him?”
"What do you mean?" The princess looked at Yunzhi with anger, a hint of unease creeping over her. Why did Yunzhi's words sound like she wanted to kill her?
But would she dare?
You must understand, the Xu family is in her hands. Moreover, she has already laid a trap here, and with just one order from her, Yunzhi will have no chance of escape.
