Upon arriving at the city where Xie Sheng was hiding, Yun Chuwei wrote a letter to Xie Sheng, inviting him to meet her on the hill outside the city.
Xie Xin knew that Yun Chuwei did not directly lead troops to besiege Xie Sheng because she was concerned about Huo Qingjue's life.
What she didn't understand was why Xie Sheng dared to come.
Xie Sheng is now like a stray dog, with few people around him to begin with, and the assassination attempt on his father in the hunting grounds has further depleted his resources.
His best option now is to kill Huo Qingjue and then escape.
But not only did he not kill Huo Qingjue, he also brought Huo Qingjue to the appointment, seemingly wanting to use Huo Qingjue to negotiate with Yun Chuwei.
Upon seeing Xie Sheng again, Xie Xin clicked her tongue in surprise and moved closer to Yun Chuwei, saying, "It seems like he really wants to make demands of you. What is he thinking? I really want to crack open his head and see what's inside!"
Yun Chuwei smiled slightly but remained silent.
At this moment, Xie Sheng spoke to Yun Chuwei: "Weiwei, you really came! I knew you would come! As long as you come with me, I will release Huo Qingjue, how about it?"
Huo Qingjue was tied up and her mouth was gagged.
He had been lying motionless on the ground. But after hearing Xie Sheng's words, he began to struggle desperately.
However, he was tied up like a dumpling, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.
Xie Sheng glanced at the whispering Huo Qingjue with disdain and said unhappily, "Behave yourself, or I'll kill you!"
Huo Qingjue ignored her and continued to struggle.
Xie Sheng was somewhat annoyed and was about to kick Huo Qingjue when he heard Yun Chuwei's voice.
"Xie Sheng, I won't go with you. You know very well that even if you release Huo Qingjue after I go with you, he won't survive! I want him to live, so why should I go through the trouble of making him die anyway?"
Xie Sheng remained silent.
He knew, of course, that if Yun Chuwei switched Huo Qingjue back, Huo Qingjue would either die at Xie Xin's hands or at the hands of Emperor Tianqi.
Huo Qingjue fell silent after hearing this.
Xie Sheng's face turned extremely ugly: "Since you're so sure you won't come with me, then what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Yun Chuwei smiled slightly and slowly said, "Now that I'm here, I naturally want to discuss some feasible deals with you."
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she clapped her hands.
Soon, someone brought Yun Lianhua up.
Xie Sheng never expected that Yun Chuwei would bring Yun Lianhua.
He paused for a moment before turning to Yun Chuwei and asking, "Weiwei, what do you mean? Why did you bring her along?"
Yun Chuwei said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm bringing her to exchange for you! You hand Huo Qingjue over to me, and I'll hand Yun Lianhua over to you. How about that?"
Xie Sheng was taken aback, but he quickly couldn't help laughing: "Weiwei, are you crazy? Ever since I found out she lied to me, I gave up on her. She's been an impure woman for a long time, why do you think I would still want her?"
Yun Lianhua's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
She wasn't surprised at all that Xie Sheng would say such a thing, but it still sounded jarring to her.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself inwardly. She had actually lived for such a man, and gone to such lengths for him. Was his affection really that valuable?
Although she didn't know what Yun Chuwei wanted to do.
Perhaps Yun Chuwei just wanted to humiliate her like this.
But it didn't matter anymore. She didn't blame Yun Chuwei. On the contrary, she was grateful to Yun Chuwei for making her realize the man's shamelessness more deeply and for making her realize her own foolishness more clearly.
Yun Chuwei smiled casually and said slowly, "I think you're the one who's crazy. You used to look down on Yun Lianhua because you were the crown prince. Now, do you even deserve to look down on her? You don't still think you're that high and mighty Crown Prince, do you?"
Xie Sheng was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute it.
Yun Lianhua was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Yun Chuwei to say that.
Yun Chuwei continued, "You are no longer the Crown Prince, but a wanted criminal. Is there anyone who loves you anymore? No! You are nothing but a drowning dog and a rat that everyone hates! It will only get worse in the future. Living a miserable and miserable life is the best outcome for you!"
"You..." Xie Sheng was speechless with anger, but he couldn't refute it.
Yun Chuwei continued without any politeness: "Now that everything has come to this, all the people who once loved you are dead. Aren't you sad? Oh, no, there's one more person who loved you, and that's Yun Lianhua. Perhaps only she is willing to continue loving you!"
"I..." Yun Lianhua wanted to refute, she didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Sheng anymore.
However, before she could utter a second word, she met Yun Chuwei's icy gaze.
Yun Lianhua immediately swallowed back what she was about to say.
Yun Chuwei then drew a sword from a nearby guard and held it to Yun Lianhua's neck, continuing to say to Xie Sheng, "If you're unwilling to exchange Huo Qingjue for her, then I'll let her die in front of you. After the last person who loved you dies, you can continue to be a rat in the gutter!"
Xie Sheng looked at Yun Lianhua, his eyes filled with obvious struggle.
But he still doesn't seem to be able to make a decision.
Yun Chuwei lowered her voice and said to Yun Lianhua without leaving a trace, "Speak!"
Suppressing her nausea, Yun Lianhua looked at Xie Sheng with tender eyes and said, "Brother Sheng, don't worry about me! Go do what you want to do. I'd rather die than see you threatened by Yun Chuwei!"
Yun Lianhua paused, squeezed out a few tears, and continued, "Before I die, I'm already very satisfied to see Brother Sheng one last time. Brother Sheng, I did things that I was sorry for before, but I had no choice. I apologize to you, and if I have the chance in the next life, I will definitely love you openly and honestly."
Yun Chuwei's lips twitched slightly. She hadn't expected Yun Lianhua to perform so well, far exceeding her expectations.
Xie Xin, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
At first, she also thought Yun Chuwei had gone mad. How could Xie Sheng possibly exchange Huo Qingjue for Yun Lianhua?
She didn't expect that Yun Chuwei's few words would not only crush Xie Sheng but also shake his resolve.
What she didn't expect was Yun Lianhua's performance.
If Yun Chuwei only made Xie Sheng waver, then Yun Lianhua completely changed Xie Sheng's mind.
really--
"Lian'er, stop talking!" Xie Sheng suddenly spoke, his tone full of frustration and pain.
Yun Lianhua, on the other hand, appeared understanding: "Alright! Brother Sheng, I won't say anything more. You can go now and do what you want to do."
After saying that, she even started to provoke Yun Chuwei: "Yun Chuwei, if you have the guts, kill me! You're using me to threaten Brother Sheng? I despise you!"
Yun Chuwei sneered: "Fine, I'll kill you first!"
After saying that, she raised the sword in her hand, making a gesture as if she was about to kill Yun Lianhua.
