At this moment, Xie Xuan and Yun Chuwei were on the Yue family's viewing tower, with no one else around them.
The reason they stood here was because, from this angle, they could clearly see the entire Yue family compound.
Yun Chuwei glanced at Xie Xuan, knowing that he must have been thinking about his past life.
In the previous life, the Prince Xuan's residence also underwent a similar search.
Later, evidence was found, and the Xuanwang Mansion was doomed!
Yun Chu sighed softly and said, "Don't you feel that this scene overlaps with your dream?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.
He knew his behavior was inappropriate, and he didn't expect that Yun Chuwei would guess what he was thinking so quickly.
He didn't know what to say.
Yun Chuwei glanced at Xie Xuan and continued, "Chen Xi is your man? Was this whole thing part of your plan?"
Xie Xuan shook his head: "No! Chen Xi and Master Zhu know each other; this was their plan. I was just helping them out!"
Yun Chuwei was slightly surprised.
"What is their whole plan? Is it aimed at the Yue family? To push the Yue family into an abyss of no return?"
Xie Xuan nodded.
Yun Chuwei was silent for a moment before speaking: "Chen Xi gained the Yue family's trust and moved into their residence by helping the Crown Prince harm my second brother. Zhu Anshi attracted His Majesty's attention by entering and leaving the palace, and His Majesty sent people to hunt him down. Once Zhu Anshi is caught, His Majesty will definitely personally try him. In this way, Zhu Anshi can take advantage of Chen Xi to drag the Yue family down with him."
Xie Xuan glanced at Yun Chuwei and nodded slightly.
Yun Chuwei is truly clever; she was able to deduce the entire process from these subtle clues.
Yun Chu pursed her lips and continued, "But I don't quite understand why they're doing this?"
Xie Xuan frowned and slowly said, "This isn't the first time Yue Jingsheng has misappropriated military rations and used inferior ones. Last year, because of his selfish desires, 10,000 troops were unable to receive their rations and were forced to retreat in defeat. To cover up this fact, the marching route of those 10,000 troops was leaked to the foreign tribes. In the end, 10,000 were ambushed, and less than 2,000 survived by escaping into the desert."
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly said, "I've seen that battle. The record says the entire army was wiped out!"
"To the imperial court, they were completely wiped out. But some are still alive. However, even if they are alive, it's not much different from being dead. All their brothers-in-arms are gone, and they will never see the light of day again!" Xie Xuan said.
Yun Chu squinted, suddenly remembering the ghost-faced army from her previous life.
Could it be that the mysterious army was the survivor Xie Xuan mentioned?
She pondered for a moment but did not ask directly.
Instead, he said, "So, what Master Zhu and Chen Xi did was to avenge these ten thousand people?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "The evidence has been destroyed. They also considered coming forward to accuse Yue Jingsheng, but they would soon be charged with treason and beheaded. This is the only way they can seek justice!"
The evidence has been destroyed, so even if they come forward, they cannot accuse Yue Jingsheng.
The marching route was leaked; those who died were not suspected, but those who survived were!
This is a dead end!
Yun Chuwei's mood was also somewhat heavy.
She changed the subject: "In your dream, the Xuan Prince's Mansion experienced what the Yue family is going through now. You know that this matter concerning the Yue family might drag many innocent people into it. Why do you want to help them?"
Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemingly turning cold in an instant.
He said slowly, "Perhaps it's because... I hate them too..."
I hate the entire Yue family!
In her previous life, it was Yun Chuwei's men who found the false evidence in the Xuanwang Mansion.
What prevented him from seeking an audience with his father was his wife's family.
The Yue family members also arbitrarily bullied the people of the Xuan Prince's mansion, and bullied those brothers who had risked their lives for him...
It was his in-laws who forced him to take the step of rebellion.
He originally thought that as long as he rebelled, he could see his father and plead his case to him.
Even if he were to die, he wanted to protect the rest of the Xuan Prince's household.
But no...
He had too few troops, and with such a disparity in strength, his men were quickly slaughtered by the army led by the Crown Prince and Yue He.
He never saw his father, the emperor, before he died.
After that day, everyone connected to the Prince Xuan's mansion except him died!
Actually, he can hardly be considered to have survived.
He was merely clinging to life, struggling in hell for several years.
Living is worse than death!
He hates it!
He hated the Yue family, he hated the Crown Prince, he hated Huo Qingjue, he hated Jiang Wanqiu, and he hated everything...
Xie Xuan clenched his fists, and his breathing became heavier.
He also hated Yun Chuwei, the woman standing beside him now.
The more he loved her, the more he hated her later.
Now, he doesn't know whether he should hate Yun Chuwei, or what...
He didn't know...
Yun Chuwei felt Xie Xuan trembling all over. She reached out and grabbed Xie Xuan's hand, saying, "I know, don't think about those things anymore!"
Xie Xuan felt the girl's soft fingers pressing on his hand, and his emotions gradually calmed down.
He didn't understand why this was happening.
He should have hated her, he should have hated her even more than the Yue family and the Crown Prince. Yet, he gave up on killing her because of a few casual words she uttered.
He was comforted simply because she reached out and took his hand.
It shouldn't be like this.
He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and his voice became somewhat cold: "Yun Chuwei, what do you know? You know nothing?"
