Chapter 345, Why do you want to die?
In the cell.
Only Ruyun and Wu Bi are left.
"Ruyun, the drug in this dish is what you put... You have been plotted against!"
Wu Bi's tone showed hatred and helplessness towards her.
Ruyun came back to her senses from the shock, her eyes were dull and she paused for a long time.
Looking at the dish, she recalled it carefully, and then she figured out the context of the matter from beginning to end.
"How do they know that I would drug the prince?"
In fact, the fact that she was a spy was just a suspicious sign from the beginning.
That year, she was three days late in sending the letter. Although the late emperor suspected her, he still spared her life because of the princess's last words.
Because of the friendship of growing up with the prince, she entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Over the years, she has been cautious, fearing that she would make any mistakes, fearing that her relationship with Wu Bi would be caught by the prince. 欞魊尛裞
She gradually got used to being the master, and began to treat the Ninth Prince's Mansion as her own home, intervening in everything.
The prince began not to return to the palace, and began to manage the main courtyard and the palace separately.
Later, Liu Wan married in.
If it weren't for Liu Wan's existence, she would have felt a sense of crisis.
She might not have acted so quickly.
However, what she couldn't figure out now was why Liu Wan knew in advance that she was going to drug her and made these arrangements?
The dish was not eaten by the dog, but was delivered to Wu Bi.
In this way.
Wu Bi knew that her plan had been exposed, and all of them would not survive!
She asked out her guess.
Wu Bi pondered for a long time, "Such a big thing happened in the palace that night when you came to the base to communicate, you didn't know?"
The spy lurking among the servants at the bottom had already reported everything back to the base.
And those servants who were executed were also secretly dealt with by the palace.
But from the report of the spy, it was learned that Lingling was also executed.
"What happened? I rested as soon as I came back last night. I waited all day today, but no one came to communicate with me!"
Ruyun shook her head.
Chunhua, who was outside the door, overheard this sentence and couldn't help but smile.
Ruyun certainly didn't know that during her confinement, the princess had deployed secret guards around the yard, and as long as someone came,
they would be arrested and interrogated immediately.
Several spies have been caught this day, and now, the hidden dangers of the Ninth Prince's Mansion have been completely eliminated!
"Last night! All your confidants in the palace were beaten to death! Including Lingling who was by your side!" Wu Bi replied slowly.
Such a big thing was not heard by Ruyun!
Wouldn't Ruyun feel strange when she found that Lingling who was by her side was missing?
"What? All beaten to death? It must be fake news. Lingling was still outside the yard today to help me keep watch..."
When it came to this.
Ruyun was shocked and the whole person froze, "You said, Lingling was beaten to death last night?"
Wasn't it last night when she went to the base to report the news?
Lingling has always been by her side and has never left.
Until she just came out of the palace, Lingling flirted with her and said, "I'll wait for you to come back!"
How could it be possible that she was beaten to death last night?
Then who is Lingling who has been by her side now?
She couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling, staring at Wu Bi in a daze.
Wu Bi clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth in anger!
He hammered the ground heavily, "We were careless. Someone must have overheard us when we were discussing the plan!"
"That's why Xia Siheng was able to make the arrangements today. He went to deal with Chief Aye, while Liu Wan was in the inner house, settling the accounts with us, and also arranged people to deal with you!"
"This couple is not an easy person to deal with!"
"I said that when we were talking last night, we were obviously very cautious, and there were guards inside and outside. How did they eavesdrop?"
"It turns out that the Lingling beside you was replaced before you came!"
"The one who came with you last night was the fake Lingling arranged for you by Xia Siheng, and the real Lingling was caught by them early in the morning. While we were still discussing things, Liu Wan got rid of all your people in the palace!"
"Damn it! How can they be so powerful and have so many talents to use!"
After Wu Bi thought it through, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
They have been lurking for nearly twenty years and have never been so down and out.
Ruyun raised money from the palace and supported a whole tavern of brothers. They used the money to eat, drink and have fun in Daxia.
And their mission is to help convey the master's message and to find out what happened in the capital and report it back.
For so many years, it was so easy. He
relaxed his vigilance all of a sudden.
He didn't expect to be defeated like this!
"Then what should we do now?" Ruyun's hands and feet were shaking, and he sat on the ground helplessly.
Confused and worried about the future.
"Those spies who fail in their mission and whose identities are exposed will have no way out but death!"
"If Chief Aye had not failed, perhaps he could have robbed the prison tonight to save all of our lives!"
"But Chief Aye was killed by Xia Siheng on the way to steal the golden jade glass bowl!"
"Ruyun, I'm sorry for your brother's trust. I have reported to the lord about your attempt to deceive Xia Siheng. The lord will send someone here soon. If you fail, you will not survive."
"We will commit suicide before dawn. Otherwise, when the lord's people come, we will die in an ugly way."
Wu Bi looked up at the moonlight shining in through the skylight. He spoke slowly, as if he had accepted everything.
The only person he felt sorry for now was his good brother who was far away in Donglin.
He couldn't even save his good brother's sister Ruyun.
Brother! I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you in the next life!
"No, I don't want to die, Captain Wu. I left my hometown to follow the princess and came to Daxia. My brother is still waiting for me to go back!" "
At first, I informed Aye because I found out that the princess had rebelled. In order to survive!"
"I could have been a stable inner house master in the Ninth Prince's Mansion and enjoyed wealth and glory for the rest of my life!"
"But I gave up all this for Donglin. I did so much for Donglin, but in the end, the master wanted to kill me! I don't want to!"
Ruyun was moved as she spoke.
She sat helplessly on the pile of weeds, tears streaming down her face, her body filled with despair.
How cruel the lord was, even if the princess was his biological sister, he would kill her immediately if she was found to have betrayed him or was exposed!
She would definitely die a more miserable death!
"If you succeed in seducing Xia Siheng this time and get pregnant with his flesh and blood, maybe you won't die, but there are not so many smooth things in this world. As spies, haven't we even thought about death in advance?"
Wu Bi turned his head to look at her, with tears and clarity in his eyes.
The leader of Aye is dead, and they will only drag Donglin down if they live!
"No!!!"
Ruyun shouted hoarsely, she stood up, and a lot of weeds were stained on her dress.
The eyes were filled with calculation and unwillingness:
"I don't want to die. I have done so much, why do you want me to die!"
