The father-in-law, bewitched, accepted Wuya's bracelet and secretly slipped out when no one was looking. Wuya was restless and anxious.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the door. Uya rushed excitedly to the door and opened it. But instead of the Fourth Prince, she saw Su Peisheng…
Uya's heart sank, and she retreated hastily, exclaiming in a panic, "Where is the Emperor? How come it's you?"
Su Peisheng pushed open the door and came in, followed closely by a eunuch carrying a pot of wine and a wine cup.
Uya retreated to the edge of the table, blocking her way, and then slumped into a chair.
Her voice trembled with fear as she asked, "What...what are you going to do?"
Su Peisheng gestured to the eunuch to place the wine pot and wine cups on the table, and said to Wuya, "The Emperor does not wish to see you again. Your Highness, please take your own life..." He then pointed to the wine pot.
Uya glanced at the wine pot beside her in horror, knowing it contained poisoned wine. She quickly jumped off the chair, trying to escape.
Su Peisheng reacted quickly and stopped Wuya Shi. Wuya Shi tried to break free frantically, crying out, "I want to see the Emperor! I want to see the Emperor! I want to explain to the Emperor in person..."
Su Peisheng struggled to stop Wuya Shi and handed her over to the eunuchs. The three eunuchs held Wuya Shi tightly. Su Peisheng patted the wrinkles on his clothes and said impatiently and angrily, "Your Highness, you should drink the wine that the Emperor bestowed upon you. At least you can leave with a whole body. If you go to see the Emperor now, I'm afraid Your Highness..." Su Peisheng didn't finish his sentence. Wuya Shi was already terrified.
Uya shook her head frantically, her eyes red as she shouted, "I don't believe it! I don't believe he could be so heartless to me! We grew up together, how could he bear to kill me..."
Uya pointed at Su Peisheng and angrily said, "It was Niohuru, that vile woman, who instructed you to frame me! The Emperor knew nothing about it, didn't he? I want to see the Emperor... I want to see the Emperor in person..."
As she spoke, Wuya struggled to break free from the eunuch's restraints and lunged at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng dodged and was nearly caught by Wuya. Then two more people came up and together they dragged Wuya back to her chair.
Su Peisheng lost his patience and pointed at the wine pot without any politeness, saying, "This wine was personally bestowed by the Emperor to send you on your way. The Emperor only showed leniency by giving you poisoned wine because of his past relationship with you. Otherwise, you would probably be punished by slow slicing."
Uya couldn't hear anything anymore, crying, "The Emperor loves me the most, he won't kill me. Even if it's all true, I want to see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears..."
Su Peisheng walked to the table, personally filled a wine cup, and said to Wuya, "You have been practicing witchcraft in the palace without authorization, framing Consort Xi and the young prince. Either of these acts is a capital offense. The young prince has already died, and Consort Xi is seriously ill in the Yuanmingyuan. The Emperor is furious. If you see the Emperor now, can you explain yourself clearly?"
Uya stared intently at the poisoned wine in Su Peisheng's hand, her voice trembling as she said, "I didn't... I didn't do any of this!"
Su Peisheng sneered, "The doll that Consort Xi hid has already been delivered to the Emperor. It clearly shows the birth dates of Consort Xi and the young prince. Did you not do all of this?"
Uya suddenly became agitated, shouting, "I want to see the Emperor! Please let me see the Emperor! I have something to say to him... I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Seeing that Wuya refused to comply and that it was getting late, Su Peisheng ordered the eunuchs to restrain Wuya in order to return to report as soon as possible. Su Peisheng then approached and grabbed Wuya's chin. Wuya stared at Su Peisheng with terrified eyes and despair, stammering and unable to speak.
Su Peisheng forced the poisoned wine down her throat. The poison quickly seeped into Wuya's internal organs, and Wuya curled up in agony until she died.
But when she died, her eyes were wide open and she couldn't close them.
