Chapter 232 Putting Her to Death
Dou Wenyi suddenly raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "Even His Majesty doesn't dare to punish me directly. You, a mere nanny, are quite bold. I don't believe you have no blood relatives or people you care about. If you dare to touch her today, I guarantee your entire clan will be buried with you."
The slap was so forceful and sudden that the old woman fell to the ground.
Dou Wenyi yanked off her veil, revealing a face covered in red rashes. "Also, Cuizhi and I have both contracted the plague. If you're not afraid of dying, come and try!"
Everyone present was stunned.
The old woman's eyes widened in horror. The princess had only ordered them to torment them; she hadn't said she was so ruthless and reckless.
They also suffered from the plague...
Yang Shao's expression became even more unnatural. No matter how good her figure was, he didn't dare to make a move on her, she was a sickly person!
Dou Wenyi glanced at the entire room and said, "Bring out whoever is in charge!"
"Clap, clap, clap," the sound of applause rang out from the end of the darkness.
A tall figure emerged from the shadows; it was none other than Feng Tingyun, the chief secretary of Prince Rui's residence. "Princess Consort, you certainly have spirit."
Even after the Prince Rui's mansion was raided, there were still some who escaped the net.
Feng Tingyun wore a sky-blue long robe and had a refined appearance. Although he was not particularly outstanding, he exuded an air of elegance.
Dou Wenyi said coldly, "Prince Rui's body is barely cold, and the appointed Chief Secretary is already trying to climb another high branch. He really knows how to be pragmatic. It's a pity... he's probably chosen the wrong side again this time!"
Feng Tingyun shook his head sullenly and smiled, "Does the Crown Princess really have no awareness of being a hostage? These servants fear the imperial power and are worried about your revenge, but I am already all alone. Even if I am buried with the Crown Princess, I will not be alone on the road to the Yellow Springs."
"Once you're here, you'll follow the local rules."
As he spoke, he beckoned, and several guards came forward.
That sounds so familiar.
Dou Wenyi's expression hardened slightly, and she grabbed Cuizhi's hand. "We have to be together."
“Of course.” Feng Tingyun didn’t make things difficult for them anymore.
They had no choice but to follow them into the house.
She was able to use the 'plague' to intimidate the eldest princess because she knew the princess had ulterior motives and wanted to live a long and prosperous life.
Can block clouds...
She knew so little about him. In her previous life, he was like a shadow, completely invisible. What was he trying to achieve?
Feng Tingyun's eyes were gentle and tender, as if he were recalling a deeply unforgettable love.
His voice was somewhat ethereal, "As long as you die, her wish will be fulfilled, and I will die without regrets..."
Dou Wenyi squinted, wondering who this "she" he was referring to was.
Could it be that the princess he admires is willing to die alongside him in order to help her achieve her wish?
Unlike...
For some reason, she saw a resemblance to Shen Yanzhou in him, except that he was clearly not a gentleman. His words and actions subtly revealed a kind of madness caused by unrequited love.
"Does she know how much you admire her?"
Feng Tingyun smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to try to find out about her. I won't tell you. But I can tell you my purpose. The Eldest Princess hopes to exchange your life for the Tiger Tally, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem to know Pei Siyan very well."
"Oh?" Dou Wenyi clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves.
He was certain that Pei Siyan would not submit to execution, so he genuinely wanted to kill her.
Feng Tingyun glanced at her, his eyes filled with pity. "This manor is built against the mountain, and behind this house is a steep cliff. With just one fire, even the most intelligent person would perish..."
At this point, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes. "Do you want Pei Siyan to go to the underworld with you, or do you want him to treat you with insincerity and not care about your life or death at all?"
Dou Wenyi's expression changed. "Then you've made a big mistake. Pei Siyan and I were just doing a deal. If Prince Rui hadn't forced me to become his concubine, I wouldn't have married him."
In such a short time, he was able to rise from a servant in the Prince Rui's residence to a confidant of the Eldest Princess, which shows that he is also a very capable person.
But who is the one he truly loves?
Prince Rui, the Eldest Princess?
Fu'an?
No, Fu'an has already obtained Xie Guidu, so there is no inherent conflict between them, and she does not wish for her to die.
Could it be that he likes Sheng Xiyue?
At the auction in Xiyuan, Sheng Xiyue's painting was sold for a high price of five thousand taels of silver. Could it be that this person was him?
But if Pei Siyan really loses, isn't he afraid of ruining Sheng Xiyue's lifelong happiness?
However, if she dies, Sheng Xiyue will be happy. Therefore, Feng Tingyun doesn't care about the princess's ambitions, he only wants her life.
Realizing this, a tremendous fear washed over her.
Dou Wenyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. "If I die, Sheng Xiyue and Pei Siyan will be living in harmony. You will surely be very pleased in the underworld!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Tingyun was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he angrily shouted, "Shut up!"
Sure enough, I guessed right.
Dou Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief. "What? You've already broken down? As you wished, Pei Siyan's feelings for me were nothing but pretense. In fact, we had already drafted a divorce agreement, so he won't come to save me. Even if you get away unscathed, you're only benefiting others."
"Your plans will all fall through."
Before he could finish speaking, a guard rushed over and collapsed in front of Feng Tingyun, his face filled with panic. "Lord Feng, something terrible has happened! The Xuanjia Army has utterly defeated Prince Chen, and Zhang Chengxian is already marching north towards Tianning City. The forces at the Xishan Camp are simply no match for these two armies..."
"Prime Minister Meng, along with several other ministers in the court, have been detained by the Crown Prince's men. There are now less than five thousand imperial guards in Tianning City... and the Crown Prince is leading his troops this way."
Feng Tingyun listened quietly to the guard's words, his expression completely calm, as if he had expected this situation.
He glanced at Dou Wenyi indifferently, "It seems he still values you. Guards, lock her up! Pei Siyan is a traitor who murdered the emperor and his father. You who live off the emperor's salary, it's time for you to repay his kindness."
A chill ran down her spine; Feng Tingyun was a complete madman!
Dou Wenyi and Cuizhi were roughly pushed inside, and the door was locked instantly.
In the chaos, Dou Wenyi blew the whistle.
She shouted, "Don't be fooled by him! Killing me is a small matter, but offending the new emperor is a big one! Lay down your weapons and surrender now, and I, in the name of the Crown Princess, will guarantee your lives!"
"Is Feng Tingyun all alone? Don't you have parents and relatives? Why not abandon the darkness and surrender?"
"Don't listen to her nonsense, pour tung oil on me!"
