Qiao Xiuyuan looked at Su Muxi, his face gradually turning cold. "You're not her! But it doesn't matter, you can be her, since you have the exact same face as her!"
After saying that, he glanced at the guards blocking Su Muxi's way and sneered: "If you come with me now, I can leave them with a whole corpse, but if you insist, I will have no choice but to use force!"
Even if it's just a corpse... as long as it's intact...
Although Qiao Xiuyuan spoke softly, Su Muxi still heard his last words clearly.
These words further confirmed Su Muxi's guess: Qiao Xiuyuan came here just to drag her down with him!
What a madman!
"Qiao Xiuyuan, you've gone to great lengths in Ganzhou and Jinzhou, weren't you plotting a rebellion and usurping the throne? Now you're giving up everything just for my corpse, is it really worth it?"
Qiao Xiuyuan's refined face once again revealed the familiar loving expression that Su Muxi had shown him.
"Xi'er, do you know that I did so much for you! I just wanted to fight for the world for you and Zimo, to make you the most honored woman in the world, and to make your child the master of the world."
His expression suddenly changed, and the look of kindness vanished completely.
"But you lied to me! The birthmark on your face could have disappeared, why didn't you tell me! If you had told me, I wouldn't have gone through so many detours! Perhaps I could have made you the empress long ago, and your child would surely have been the next emperor!"
Su Muxi sneered: "Ha! Qiao Xiuyuan, you don't need to look for reasons for your failure. You just didn't expect Qiao Zixian to betray you, and you didn't expect that I could expose the truth about the plague in Fukang County."
Now that we've safely returned to Beijing, you're at a loss for what to do, so you're thinking of throwing caution to the wind and dragging me to my death!
oh!
No, I'm just a substitute. What you really want isn't me, but Yun Ying.
Let me think. Back then, you originally planned to take care of Yun Ying as a brother who was torn between loyalty and righteousness after killing General Lin, and then slowly take Yun Ying for yourself.
What you might not expect is that Yun Ying, who usually appears gentle and mild-mannered, is actually quite fiery-tempered. She actually set fire to the entire General's Mansion.
She then leaped into the sea of fire, leaving no trace of her body.
Because she simply didn't believe that General Lin and Prince Yu would rebel, and she also knew that you were a traitorous, despicable, and shameless scoundrel!
So even if it's a corpse, she doesn't want you to have it!
Because she thinks you're disgusting!
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
After hearing Su Muxi's words, Qiao Xiuyuan once again went into a frenzy, shaking his head desperately.
The more Qiao Xiuyuan acted this way, the closer Su Muxi knew that what she had just said was to the truth.
Qiao Xiuyuan took a deep breath, and when he looked up at Su Muxi again, his eyes had become calm.
"Xi'er, you're delaying like this because you're hoping the Emperor's men will come. But you know I've timed this perfectly. Neither Ye Zeyu's men nor Ye Jingchun's men can arrive this quickly!"
And this amount of time is enough for the two of us to die together!
"Xi'er, are you really willing to let so many people die because of you? Guards, maids, servants, and even a little child!"
Upon hearing Qiao Xiuyuan's words, Su Muxi subconsciously turned around and saw that Azhu, holding her precious porcelain pillow, had come out at some point.
Then Qiao Xiuyuan continued, "Xi'er, stop struggling, you are destined to belong to me!"
Su Muxi wavered, because with just Mai Kun and his group, there was really no chance of winning.
He touched the bracelet on his wrist, preparing to insert the poisoned silver needles into Qiao Xiuyuan's body once he got close.
Although Qiao Xiuyuan's death would prevent her from exonerating Uncle Yu, at this point, she could only take care of the people in front of her.
"Okay! I..."
Before Su Muxi could finish speaking, more than twenty guards rushed in from outside the door, followed by a slightly familiar male voice.
"Once we get to the capital, this is my territory! Qiao Xiuyuan, watch how I take you to the Emperor to claim my reward!"
It was Zheng Yi!
Su Muxi never expected that Zheng Yi would be the first person to arrive at the Prince's Mansion at this time.
Qiao Xiuyuan sneered: "Ha! Overestimating yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Guards began to move again.
Judging from the clean and efficient way these Imperial Guards killed, they were clearly assassins raised by Qiao Xiuyuan!
The men Zheng Yi brought were almost all killed before they could even last for half an incense stick's time.
Qiao Xiuyuan, holding the sword at his waist, turned to look at Zheng Yi.
"I actually forgot about you, you piece of trash! You have no skills but want to act like a hero and save the damsel in distress? Well, I'll give you a chance! I'll let you be reincarnated and be a hero in your next life!"
As he spoke, he slashed at Zheng Yi with his knife.
Zheng Yi had only one thought in his mind at that moment: to run. But after running a few steps, he tripped over something and fell to the ground.
Just when he thought he was about to be killed by Qiao Xiuyuan's blade, the sound of horses' hooves rang out from afar, followed by a loud "bang" and the sound of clashing weapons behind him.
Trembling, he looked back and saw that the steel knife Qiao Xiuyuan was holding had been shot away by an arrow!
Upon seeing this, Zheng Yi instantly became excited.
It was Ye Zeyu!
It must be Ye Zeyu!
Sure enough, looking in the direction from which the sound of hooves came, the tall figure on horseback could only be Ye Ziyu!
That black gold mask is still gleaming with an eerie light!
"The Prince of Yong'an is here! The Prince of Yong'an is here!"
Zheng Yi shouted loudly.
He didn't know when it started, but all he felt for Ye Zeyu was admiration. Now, seeing Ye Zeyu was like seeing a god who had suddenly descended to save him.
However, the next moment, he was stunned by Ye Zeyu's words and even forgot to get up from the ground.
"I will forever remember Young Master Zheng's kindness! I will repay it in the future!"
The Prince of Yong'an actually thanked him?
The Prince of Yong'an actually thanked him!
Ye Zeyu ignored Zheng Yi, who was still lying on the ground, and went straight for Qiao Xiuyuan, swinging his knife without hesitation.
"Qiao Xiuyuan! You deserve to die!"
Qiao Xiuyuan was not afraid of Ye Zeyu's offensive, but his heart sank when he saw the guards and imperial guards who came after him.
It seems that fate really isn't giving him any chance of survival!
But it doesn't matter, he was already prepared to die!
Tonight, he has only one wish: to die with Ying'er in his arms!
