He remembered that he had thrown Yin Yi's body to them, which was a way of imprisoning them.
He later paid little attention to politics, and did not know how the two of them were buried, or how the woman ended up there.
"Why are you here alone? Where is the Marquis of the North?"
Yin Changling's voice was cold and sinister, like a venomous snake, showing no mercy and not being bewitched by the woman.
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, not for any other reason than that the woman's attire was almost identical to that of Tu Shan Ling Xi.
"Who taught you to dress like this? Tell me, or I'll kill you!"
Yin Changling's eyes were practically spitting fire. He had been drinking today, and his killing intent was clearer than ever before. He had almost no reason left to suppress it.
Therefore, Yin Changling drew the Dragon Roar sword from his waist, pressed it against the woman's neck, and without saying a word, intended to kill her directly.
She deserves to die!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything!"
Wei Shaomei was terrified. She had demon blood and was extremely sensitive to people's emotions. That murderous intent terrified her.
Her original intention was to be someone superior, not to be a sacrificial lamb!
Wei Shaomei believed herself to be exceptionally beautiful. During her year as a prisoner in the palace, she suffered countless cold stares and thus longed to attach herself to another man.
The Marquis of Bei was no better than her. After Yin Changling led his troops into battle, he even tried to take advantage of her, but he didn't even consider his own limitations.
Even though Wei Shaomei was a weak woman, she was still stronger than this old man; she personally killed the Marquis of Bei.
She watched with her own eyes as the Marquis of Bei slowly breathed his last before her eyes, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He deserved it!
From that moment on, Wei Shaomei secretly resolved to reach the pinnacle of power at all costs!
However, as long as she had her thoughts, she could only lie low until everything was realized.
Wei Shaomei spoke pitifully, trying to defend herself and hoping to win the man's favor.
"Your Majesty, not long after you went on your campaign, the Marquis of the North fell ill from missing Yi, and died of grief."
She started crying as she spoke, tears wetting her long eyelashes and streaming down her face, giving her a pitiful and lonely appearance.
Wei Shaomei must have been quite beautiful to dare to do this; otherwise, she wouldn't have attracted the covetous eyes of the Marquis of Bei and his son.
She just hadn't expected that her move would have absolutely no effect on Yin Changling.
Shouldn't a normal man, seeing a beautiful woman offering herself up, especially after drinking, not be driven by lust?
Having seen all kinds of men, Wei Shaomei naturally knew their flaws, which is why she was confident that no one could escape her seduction.
"He's dead, so why aren't you? And who took care of you in the palace?"
Although Yin Changling was somewhat drunk, he wasn't out of his mind and knew there must be a lot of shady dealings involved.
He could ignore everything and know nothing, but this person dared to impersonate his Xi'er, especially on such a special day...
Yin Changling was serious. He would not allow anyone to approach him under Xi'er's name!
"I'm giving you one last chance. Who taught you to dress like this? If you can tell me, I'll spare your life."
Yin Changling's eyes were now filled with undisguised killing intent.
Wei Shaomei sensed this dangerous atmosphere and, being a wise person, naturally did not want to disobey Yin Changling.
She cherishes her life very much now, and she would be extremely unwilling to accept it if she lost her life because of this.
"I told you, I got it from Su Jiu. He seems to have some unspeakable thoughts about me..."
Su Jiu is Su Ba's younger brother. He used to be by his side all the time, but when he went to war, he left Su Ba and the others in the palace.
Yin Changling was unaware that Su Jiu had such audacity to use Xi'er, the current queen, to curry favor with other women.
"Good, very good!"
Su Ba and Su Jiu were unaware that they were about to face a great disaster. After all, since Yin Changling left the palace, they had practically controlled the government and colluded with court officials.
When Yin Changling returned to the palace, he did not interfere with the power they held, but instead gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Guards, summon Su Ba and Su Jiu. I want to interrogate them thoroughly!"
Yin Changling clapped his hands, and soon several figures emerged from the shadows and headed elsewhere.
These are the secret guards trained and cultivated by Yin Changling. They are veterans of the battlefield and are absolutely loyal.
Wei Shaomei's face turned pale. She had thought that His Majesty would have some affection for Su Jiu as a master and servant, but she never expected him to be so heartless!
But so what?
Wei Shaomei's heart quickly turned cold again. If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.
Su Jiu said he was willing to sacrifice everything for me; now is the time for him to do so!
Wei Shaomei only wanted to protect herself. As for others, even if they were sincere to her, what difference did it make? They were worthless.
Soon, amidst Wei Shaomei's unease, Su Ba and Su Jiu were brought over.
The two of them must have already rested, as they were only wearing a thin nightgown and no outer garments when they were captured and brought here.
"Your Majesty? This servant greets Your Majesty!"
"This servant greets Your Majesty."
Su Ba was quite perceptive. When he suddenly saw Wei Shaomei dressed up like this, he knew that this woman had broken some taboo.
He had warned Su Jiu long ago not to underestimate a woman's ambition, and told Su Jiu to be careful and guard against Wei Shao Mei.
But looking at the current situation, they still failed!
"Confess yourselves, or should I interrogate you?"
Yin Changling's words were tantamount to sentencing them to death, showing no mercy whatsoever.
He slowly glanced at the two men. They had served him since he was a child and should know him best.
Yin Changling had considered anyone who might betray him, but he had never considered these two lackeys.
Su Jiu couldn't withstand Yin Changling's icy gaze. He was usually the most timid and fearful person, but the only thing he had ever done was to take care of Wei Shaomei.
“Your Majesty, it was this servant…this servant told Miss Weishao about the Queen, I only beg Your Majesty not to blame Miss Weishao…and also…my brother.”
Su Jiu finished speaking tremblingly, kowtowing frantically without daring to raise her head, already indicating her determination to die.
Although Su Ba was somewhat disheartened that he had been ranked behind a woman by this fool, he was still his own younger brother, so he could only make excuses for him.
“Your Majesty, my brother was bewitched by Wei Shao Mei. He would never dare to betray Your Majesty. He probably just let it slip.”
"Oh--"
"Do you think I'm stupid? I think you're all tired of living. You should apologize to my queen yourselves!"
Yin Changling's Dragon Roar Sword came in handy; with a single slash, the two fell silent instantly.
As for Wei Shaomei, she was also imprisoned in the dungeon by Yin Changling, and he left her alone for the time being.
