Chapter 339 Let's die together

The cold wind of December was mixed with a few strands of ice, which hit people's faces, like a knife cutting flesh, and made people shiver.

The standing Hexi Palace was lit with warm candlelight, which gave people a harmonious and warm feeling in the cold wind.

Defei's teeth were almost broken.

She had already died generously according to Jiang Xinyue's wishes, so why did she still rush Xuan'er to Fengxian Palace?

What is Fengxian Palace?

It would be the same as the cold palace. When Xuan'er grows up, how can the emperor still remember him?

Then how can she wait until Xuan'er is crowned king and then kill him back in the palace?

"What did the Queen want us to do?"

"I think she wanted to give the Emperor a surprise! Didn't the Queen practice a new song today?"

"Our Queen and the Emperor are so loving. I think the Fourth Prince's wish to have another sister will soon come true."

Several palace maids walked hurriedly past the place where Concubine De was hiding, holding Jiang Xinyue's changed clothes in their hands.

"Sister Lan, if we go in now, I don't know if there is a scam. Let's..."

"I can't wait that long. Father thought I didn't know that he had two little ones outside. He brought them back to the Duke's Mansion before my body was cold. He really didn't want those two concubines to suffer any grievances."

She had known for a long time that Duke Cheng had a prostitute outside, but at first she didn't know that the woman had given birth to two younger brothers for him.

It was the news revealed to her by the emperor earlier.

How early is early?

It seemed like it was before the emperor took Jiang Xinyue to the temporary palace to escape the summer heat.

Defei thought carefully and realized that she had already fallen into the emperor's trap. It was a pity that she didn't know it at that time. She thought that the emperor revealed the news to her because he felt sorry for her and felt sorry for her.

It was not until now that she realized that the emperor had actually expected this day. In other words, before going to the temporary palace, the emperor already knew that she was the real murderer who killed the former crown prince and the second prince, and he was even more certain that the lives of more than a dozen people in Yanqing Palace were all hers.

As far as she knew, when Jiang Xinyue was in the temporary palace, she "accidentally" found the porcelain bottle found in the pool that year.

The former crown prince did not die of poisoning, but was pushed into the water and drowned by her people. Now the porcelain bottle was used as evidence to convict her.

There was obviously no evidence, let alone witnesses, but the emperor created evidence.

The purpose of the emperor doing all this was because he knew that she was unwilling to die, and she would definitely drag the Chengguo Mansion into the water.

Because she wanted revenge, revenge on Chengguogong for choosing to sacrifice her to pave the way for his two illegitimate sons.

Therefore, before Defei pretended to die, she deliberately said that it had nothing to do with Chengguogong's Mansion, so that Chengguogong would relax his vigilance and take the brothel girl and his two sons into the mansion.

But she also said...

If it weren't for Jiang Xinyue, the emperor would have been poisoned to death by her. Such a treasonous and regicide statement, how could the Chengguogong Mansion escape the blame.

Not to mention the Chengguogong Mansion, even the entire family that has a family relationship with the Duke's Mansion will be implicated.

That's right, Defei wanted to make Chengguogong a sinner for all ages, to be cursed by the nine clans, and to have no face to face his ancestors in the underworld.

With her intelligence, how could she not know what to say and what not to say?

Who asked her father... to kill her grandmother who loved her the most?

Now, she wanted to kill Jiang Xinyue, and then put the blame on Duke Cheng for everything, so that... the emperor would be completely furious, and all nine clans of Duke Cheng would have to pay for the Imperial Concubine. If

she became an abandoned child, no one would be able to live, and everyone would die together. There

were bursts of beautiful piano sounds coming from the Hexi Palace, which was indeed in line with what the palace maid said, that the Imperial Concubine was preparing a surprise for the emperor.

"Ding!"

There was a sound of light footsteps landing on the ground. Concubine Yu was wearing Jiang Xinyue's clothes, combing Jiang Xinyue's hair accessories, with her back to the door of the bedroom, and her fingers trembling slightly as she plucked the strings of the piano.

She was very scared!

Defei, the murderous devil, would not give her a fatal blow right away!

She thought she was quite brave when she suggested to do it just now, but now the hero has turned into a coward.

The two guards who came in with Defei were cousins ​​of Defei's family. They relied on Defei's care in the palace to have a say among the guards in the palace.

They always obeyed Defei's orders, even if it would cost them their lives.

Defei gave a wink, and the two men stepped forward and really drew their swords to chop.

"Zheng!"

"Ah!"

Yupin had poor psychological quality. The moment the sound of weapons clashing exploded above her head, she screamed and closed her eyes.

"Yupin, run!"

Jiang Xinyue came out of the hot spring room. The four guards were fighting with each other, and Defei had quietly walked behind Yupin and raised her hand to stab her with a dagger.

Before Yupin's brain could react to Jiang Xinyue's shout, her body had already rolled along the table and just pressed on the guqin. The raised side hit Defei's hand and head, causing her movement to pause for a moment.

But soon, Yupin, who rolled to the ground, was pulled up from the ground by Defei's hair, with a dagger across her neck: "If you don't want Yupin to die, let them stop."

The emperor raised his hand, and the two guards with high martial arts skills kicked Defei's two cousins ​​away.

Defei pinched Yupin's neck and said, "Yupin, we have known each other for more than ten years, and I never realized that you were willing to exchange your life for Jiang Xinyue. I'm afraid even the late emperor and empress didn't ask you to do this!"

Yupin herself was quite surprised that she was willing to sacrifice her life for Jiang Xinyue.

"You vicious woman, there are more advantages of me than you can imagine!"

Yupin said stubbornly: "If you know your place, just let me go quickly. I can even say a few good words for you in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine. Otherwise, you can't leave alive."

Defei laughed so hard that tears flowed out of her eyes: "Do you think that if I let you go, Jiang Xinyue will let me leave the palace alive? Forget it! Do you think they will care about your life or death?"

"Who said I don't care?"

Jiang Xinyue walked out under the protection of the emperor: "Yupin is my friend, please let her go."

"Friends? Hahaha..."

De Fei laughed again: "How can there be real friends in this palace? Jiang Xinyue, you idiot, have you forgotten when Yupin was jealous of you and wanted to harm your unborn baby? Have you forgotten when she helped the late queen to be mean to you?"

De Fei didn't need to count them one by one, the stupid things Yupin did were enough for Yupin to drink a pot of wine herself.

She shrank her neck guiltily, for fear that Jiang Xinyue would say: You'd better kill her with a knife!

"Then aren't you the one using her?"

A dark shadow flashed outside the window, Jiang Xinyue's eyes flashed, and she moved towards the door. The two guards also looked at her vigilantly, and turned with De Fei, with their backs to the window and facing the door.
