Gong Yunfeisi ignored Lei Yue who was glaring at her.

Just as she looked at Lei Yue with disdain, Lei Yue suddenly stood up, reached out to Gong Yunfei, and tightly clasped his palm around her neck.

Lei Yue should have seen fear on Gong Yunfei's face, but instead he only saw that although she looked painful, the smile on her face was damn dazzling.

"If I have to die, I will drag you down with me. Do you think I dare not kill you?" Lei Yue said angrily.

"Death... what's so scary about it, ahem... I've always felt... that life is worse than death... why should I be afraid..." Gong Yunfei, whose neck was strangled, tried his best to speak, but Lei Yue, who did not feel the intimidation effect, was slightly stunned.

Is this princess crazy?

Her grip loosened and she looked at Gong Yunfei's face. She began to understand why this man treated her like this.

"Princess, do you think you can kill me by framing me?" Lei Yue snorted coldly, "You want to use provocation to get information from me? It's simply wishful thinking."

"Haha, this is ridiculous." Gong Yunfei laughed loudly and looked at Lei Yue with a sad look. "When I came here today, I didn't think about giving you a chance to live. I know that you are waiting for the Queen Mother to make the decision for you and support you, because you know that the Queen Mother would not want you to say anything bad under torture, right?"

Gong Yunfei's understanding look made Lei Yue really scared. Yes, it was because he knew too well that the Queen Mother would not let him get hurt, so even though he was trapped in the prison, no one tortured him. If it were not for this, he would not have taken Gong Yunfei's threats so lightly. However, what she said at this moment made him worry.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Lei Yue looked at Gong Yunfei warily, with a tense expression.

"What do you want to do? Haha, General Lei, this princess just wants to remind you that the Queen Mother does not allow torture to force a confession in order to reassure you, but the Queen Mother is only the Queen Mother after all. The reason why the general has been safe these days is because the emperor is injured and recuperating in the palace. Do you think that the emperor will not investigate this matter when he returns to the palace today?" Gong Yunfei sneered, "I believe that as soon as I leave later, the emperor will follow, and Wu Jue will be able to stop the emperor's carriage at that time and surrender himself. As for you, I will naturally want you to be there before the emperor and the Queen Mother arrive. "But I would like to give you a kind word of advice. The longer you delay me, the more likely it is that if Wu Jue doesn't see me outside the tower before he stops the emperor's carriage, he will think that Concubine Lei is resentful of Concubine Jing's favor and instigates the general to rebel. Wu Jue, because the general has poisoned him, has to obey his orders. Because the plan to hunt down the emperor was exposed, the general has been imprisoned. He is poisoned and no one can save him. He happened to meet me when I went to find the emperor, cured him of the poison, and temporarily suppressed the poison. He came to ask for the emperor's forgiveness. What do you think of such a perfect statement?"

"You vicious woman!" Lei Yue glared at Gong Yunfei and cursed her.

Gong Yunfei listened but turned a deaf ear to it. She looked at Lei Yue coldly, her tone without any emotion, "When the general murdered my mother, causing me to suffer injustice and the death of my family, I should have believed that God sees what we do, and this retribution is also a punishment from heaven. Didn't he learn this skill of framing from you? Why is General Lei laughing at others when you are only fifty steps away? Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you, General, that it is not a bad thing for the Queen Mother that the general died in the cell again. The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry about your daughter and clansmen who are already dead. Am I right, General?"

Lei Yue knew the Queen Mother's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness. If the Queen Mother still had a conscience, she would not have instigated him to do such a thing. But now, the Queen Mother not only likes to abandon the car and the guard, but also wants to get rid of it cleanly. In other words, if the Emperor comes back to investigate, the Queen Mother may also take the initiative!

How could he be willing to do this if he didn't get the proper reward for helping others and even sacrificed the lives of all his clan members and his beloved daughter? Over the years, the War King had been forcing him, and he was already terrified. At this moment, should he choose to die with regrets for someone who didn't deserve it, or make a final struggle for his daughter?

"Princess, I will tell you the truth you want, but can you please agree to one of my requests?" Lei Yue sat on the ground in despair.

"I understand the general's love for his daughter. What I did was nothing more than revenge and justice. General Qieyi should understand that no matter you are the direct murderer or the indirect murderer, your hands are indeed stained with the blood of my clan. I am not so magnanimous as to help you out of your predicament, let alone save many of your clansmen, but at least I can keep your daughter safe. As for the rest, it all depends on the emperor's will." Gong Yunfei smiled harmlessly and spoke sincerely.

Lei Yue, who was standing by, also closed his eyes in sorrow and sighed, "Well, never mind. I am tired of hiding such a secret all these years. I am just a person who follows orders, but I have no choice but to become the last line of defense."

Lei Yue told Gong Yunfei everything, "In fact, I don't know much about what happened back then. I just know that it was the eunuch Zhou Gonggong who was beside the Queen Mother who came to me and asked me to point all the culprits of the poisoning to the Queen Concubine Xian at the right time. Then, I said I helped to confuse right and wrong and handed over all the evidence that you, the Queen Mother, had found for me."

"At that time, besides Eunuch Zhou, who else was there?" Gong Yun frowned.

"There was also a eunuch and a maidservant beside Eunuch Zhou. I don't know who they were." Lei Yue shook his head. "But judging from their accents, they didn't sound like people from the palace. Besides, I never met them later. But not long after, I heard that Eunuch Zhou died a violent death. That's why my daughter entered the palace as a concubine at that time. With the status of the prince's concubine, my loyalty is the best guarantee."

"Very good." Gong Yunfei smiled, "You can die now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yunfei sprinkled a stream of medicine powder. Lei Yue's breathing began to become tight, but his face showed a calmness as if he was ready to die.
