Staring at the confession signed by Sun Siyuan, Yun's heart trembled, and a sense of utter disillusionment, as if the sky were falling, rose within her.
This is her Si Yuan, the son she carried for ten months and raised with great difficulty, who actually identified her with his own mouth just to save his own life!
how so……
The woman threw down the confession and slowly closed her eyes, as if she could avoid all this if she didn't look at it.
Si Jin insisted on reading it aloud: "Can't you understand? I'll tell you, Madam. Sun Siyuan confessed without hesitation how you poisoned me, where you poisoned me, and how much money you spent. Today, you won't be leaving the Eastern Depot."
Yun didn't know what to say. She was a woman, and without her son, she had no hope. If Sun Wuyang found out that she had stolen the pardon, he would definitely skin her alive with his own hands.
In that instant, Yun really thought: I might as well die.
But the next moment, Si Jin asked, "Hey, what's this?"
Si Jin took the gold medal from the woman's hand and examined it carefully: "Ah, a pardon. Then let Madam Yun go for now. I'll take the gold medal and hand it over to the Emperor."
Not only did they kill her son and take away her immunity from death, they also threw her out of the Eastern Depot alive.
Yun's nose stung with tears, and she collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't even dare to go home.
Gu Sijin's actions are worse than simply killing her.
Gu Sijin ruined her... utterly ruined her...
… …
Yun was wandering outside and didn't dare to return to the manor for seven or eight days. When Sun Ziyu found her, she was running a high fever and lying in the clinic, on the verge of death.
After learning the whole story, Sun Ziyu was filled with rage.
She had no recollection of how it was her mother, Yun Shi, who strongly supported Sun Wuyang in sending Si Jin's mother away and kicking Si Jin out as well.
All she knew was that her once happy home had been destroyed by Gu Sijin, with some parts dead and others crippled, and it was no longer a home.
No, she had to go find the Second Prince. He had already... taken her in and promised to marry her, so he would definitely help her.
Without hesitation, Sun Ziyu went to Yuwen Cheng's residence. As soon as she saw him, she started crying uncontrollably: "Acheng, you have to help me! I want to kill Gu Sijin, kill that damned eunuch, waaaaah~"
Yuwen Cheng was heartbroken and quickly carried the person to the bedroom, where he comforted him.
Afterwards, he contentedly put his arm around the woman's shoulder and kissed her lips.
"Don't worry, Father has wanted to get rid of Gu Sijin for a long time. I've already set up the plan these past few days. In a few days, Gu Sijin won't be able to keep up his arrogance."
As a result, in the following days, Yuwen Linyuan was summoned by the old emperor every time he returned to the palace.
Every time I asked the same question, the answer was pretty much the same.
For example, today, he immediately asked, "Yuan'er, has Gu Sijin made any unusual moves lately? Has he contacted any outsiders?"
Yuwen Linyuan thought for a moment. Si Jin did indeed frequently exchange letters with his friends in the martial world via carrier pigeon, and decisively replied, "No, the Grand Eunuch is honest and dutiful, truly a blessing to our Great Zhou."
"Alright, step down." After receiving Yuwen Linyuan's reply for the fifth time, the old emperor felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Why do I always feel that Yuan'er is now speaking and acting in a way that favors Gu Sijin?
No, it seems we can't keep this guy surnamed Gu around.
He took a deep breath and waved his hand, instructing the eunuch beside him: "Inform the Second Prince that the plan to confiscate property may begin."
… …
Yuwen Linyuan returned to the Eastern Palace, but he couldn't sleep, feeling that something was wrong with his father.
This matter should be told to Jinjin so that he can make plans in advance.
But the Emperor is a benevolent ruler who has never severely punished his subjects in recent years. Why does he have to keep targeting Jinjin?
Unable to understand, Yuwen Linyuan sat up, feeling depressed.
But ultimately unwilling to sit idly by and wait for death, he summoned his bodyguard Zhang Ci to secretly investigate the old emperor's movements.
This was the young crown prince, not yet twenty years old, and for the first time, he was wary of his father, the emperor, and he was restless and uneasy.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Ci returned and reported with his head bowed: "Your Highness, the Second Prince just went to see His Majesty and presented a secret memorial, saying..."
"To say that Governor Gu is a fake eunuch, has connections with the people of the northern deserts, is colluding with foreign tribes, and is deceiving the emperor is an unforgivable crime."
