Chapter 205: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 49
Shangguan Ruoxue's face was pale, her fingertips tightly grasped her pleated skirt, and the originally messy hem of the skirt was deformed by it.
An illusory web was torn apart, revealing the bloody truth behind it, a truth she dared not face.
The prince had indeed promised her the position of his principal wife, but Princess Rong'an intervened and the prince promised her the position of a noble concubine.
Princess Rong'an said that her origins were unknown and her status was low, so it was a great favor to confer the title of noble lady. The prince did not object, so she became "Noble Lady Mei".
The prince broke his promise again, but what could she do? She had given her body to the prince, and she was already his.
In this life, she can only hold on to Brother Haochang's heart. At least Brother Haochang loves her, and that's enough!
The illusory net closed again, and Shangguan Ruoxue felt very happy.
"You said so much just to sow discord between me and Brother Haochang. I won't be fooled."
Shangguan Ruoxue walked up to Ji Yunhuan and picked up her face. It was this face that the princess could not forget. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became!
The sharp finger gloves scratched Ji Yunhuan's face, and blood gushed out. Shangguan Ruoxue was very happy and said sternly:
"I am here to interrogate you on the orders of His Highness. Ji, you are guilty now. If you want to live, tell the truth. How did Prime Minister Ji collude with the assassin? And..."
Shangguan Ruoxue looked around. She was surrounded by guards from the Prince's Mansion. Several imperial guards had been sent elsewhere. She was very satisfied and asked in a low voice, "Where is the emperor? Is he dead or alive?"
Ji Yunhuan's face was burning with pain, but it was just a minor injury, so she didn't care much. Shangguan Ruoxue had been talking nonsense for so long and finally said something useful.
In a flash, she finally figured it out and blurted out, "You forged His Majesty's corpse! No wonder the Imperial Guards listened to Long Haochang's orders, you are so brave..."
Shangguan Ruoxue raised her hand and slapped towards the wound on Ji Yunhuan's face.
Ji Yunhuan exerted force suddenly and hit the guard who was holding her down hard with her elbow.
The guard was caught off guard. He did not expect a woman to be so strong, and she actually broke free.
Ji Yunhuan grabbed Shangguan Ruoxue's arm and twisted it behind her back. She quickly snatched a hairpin from Shangguan Ruoxue's head. When the guards surrounded her, the hairpin was already against Shangguan Ruoxue's neck.
The hairpin scratched her snow-white neck lightly, and blood gushed out. Ji Yunhuan chuckled and said, "It's rude not to return the favor. I bleed so much, you should return it to me."
Shangguan Ruoxue let out a sharp cry and shouted in fear: "Ji Yunhuan! What on earth do you want to do? Even if you kill me, you can't escape!"
Ji Yunhuan's hairpin went a little deeper. If it went any deeper, it would hit the tendons. Her second brother had taught her that if the tendons were pierced, the patient would definitely bleed to death.
"Yes, I can't escape, but I can drag you to die with me. You are afraid of death, but I am not."
Shangguan Ruoxue was really scared, her legs were shaking. In the past, she always shouted that Ji Yunhuan wanted to kill her, but that was just to make Brother Haochang pity her more. This time, she really felt the threat of death.
"Don't... don't be impulsive! If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't kill me."
Zhao Hei made a disdainful "tsk" sound. This damn noble was so stupid. He was fine for sleeping, but he was totally useless when it came to getting things done!
He actually thought Ji Yunhuan was pretty good, she had a sharp tongue and could fight, he liked this kind of hot and beautiful woman!
The serious young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion is different. As the saying goes, even if you die under the peony flower, you will still be romantic as a ghost. If you can sleep with such a woman, it will be worth dying.
"Go and bring out that little maid from before."
As soon as Zhao Hei spoke, the guards immediately dragged Qiao Yue out.
Zhao Hei didn't hesitate, he grabbed Qiao Yue's neck and said in a rough voice: "This noble lady can't die. If she dies, the prince will cause trouble for me. If you dare to kill her, I will kill this maid."
Qiao Yue's face flushed. She thought the young lady was going to kidnap Shangguan Ruoxue and escape. This might be the young lady's only chance to survive.
"Miss... leave me alone, just... run!"
Zhao Hei sneered and said, "You are a very loyal maid. Stop struggling. There are so many people here. If you dare to run, I will kill you."
Ji Yunhuan let go of Shangguan Ruoxue and threw the hairpin in his hand to the ground. "I won't run away, but I won't slander my father and brother either."
Shangguan Ruoxue couldn't stand at all. She fell to the ground and gasped for breath. Her delicate makeup was washed away by tears, becoming hideous and dishevelled, and her skirt was wrinkled beyond recognition.
Ji Yunhuan kicked Shangguan Ruoxue arrogantly, "You are a hopeless person, how dare you come to judge me! Don't act pretentiously in front of me. I can't do other things, but it's easy for me to drag you to death."
Shangguan Ruoxue sat down again with the help of her maid. She was really scared. Ji Yunhuan was a lunatic!
She originally wanted to humiliate Ji Yunhuan first, make Ji Yunhuan cry bitterly, kneel down and beg for mercy, and lose all face, just like what Ji Yunhuan had done to her before.
When Ji Yunhuan thought he could survive, she would kill Ji Yunhuan to avenge her past grudge!
But now she didn't dare delay any longer. She waved her hand, and a maid came forward with a tray with poisoned wine on it.
"His Royal Highness has ordered that Ji Yunhuan is stubborn and refuses to confess the crimes of the Prime Minister's Office. He is to be punished for treason and be given a cup of poisoned wine."
Zhao Hei was still thinking about having a night of romance tonight, but he was not happy to hear this, "Nonsense! His Highness clearly said that the wives and daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion should not be touched. You killed Ji Yunhuan, what can you use to threaten the people in the prison?"
Shangguan Ruoxue disagreed, "There are so many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it doesn't matter if she dies. My words are His Highness' words. Do you think His Highness will listen to you or me?"
Zhao Hei didn't dare to say anything immediately. This woman's pillow talk was very powerful. If he offended her, he would suffer the consequences in the future.
It’s a pity that such a beautiful woman is going to meet the King of Hell before he can even eat her.
Shangguan Ruoxue asked the maid to bring the poisoned wine over, but she did not dare to get close. She was afraid that Ji Yunhuan would not drink it, so she threatened with a cold face:
"Your Highness's order, if you dare not drink, then let Madam Ji drink for you. You two have a deep mother-daughter relationship, you definitely don't want Madam Ji to die for you, right?"
When Ji Yunhuan saw Shangguan Ruoxue, he knew he was going to die.
Shangguan Ruoxue will not give up until she dies once.
She picked up the glass and took one last look at her mother.
Zhuo Wei leaned against the window, crying her heart out. She stretched out her hand towards her daughter, "Huan'er, no! Give me the wine glass. Don't drink it. Don't drink it! If you die, your mother won't want to live anymore."
Qiao Yue had already burst into tears. The guards forced her to kneel on the ground, and she wanted to crawl towards Ji Yunhuan.
The crying sounds of maids were heard from the room. The young lady had always been very kind to them. They cried for the young lady, and also for their own unknown fate.
Only Madam Ji clapped her hands and laughed, "Retribution! It's all retribution! Xue'er is back! Xue'er came back to save me, Ji Yunhuan deserves to die! Damn it!"
Ji Yunhuan hardened his heart, turned his gaze away from his mother, picked up the wine glass and was about to drink the poisoned wine.
"Meow meow!" Xizi suddenly rushed out and knocked over the poisoned wine with one palm, and the reddish wine splashed all over Ji Yunhuan.
