Yun Zhuo looked up and saw Ye Qingxue staring at him with hatred. His heart ached, but he just pursed his lips and said softly, "You, be well."
A thousand tender feelings transformed into a deep plea.
Please ask her to take good care of herself.
Ye Qingxue firmly stated, "I will find evidence to prove that you did not kill the Ninth Prince!"
Yun Zhuo suddenly frowned: "Why are you so persistent? I've already given you the divorce papers. We are no longer husband and wife. You are free to marry as you please, so don't interfere in my affairs anymore!"
Ye Qingxue's eyes instantly reddened, and she bit her lip to stop her tears from falling.
She said, "Yun Zhuo, remember what you said tonight. Don't come crying to me begging for my forgiveness in the future!"
"You don't have to forgive me!" Yun Zhuo said, "I killed the Ninth Prince, and my father has already ordered my execution! If you insist on investigating further, I will die right here in front of you!"
Ye Qingxue could hardly believe what she was hearing. She stared intently at Yun Zhuo, scrutinizing his features, his eyebrows, his nose, and his lips.
The person before me was none other than Yun Zhuo.
"You clearly didn't kill him, why are you admitting it? Don't you value your life at all?!" Ye Qingxue's voice was hoarse, she really couldn't understand Yun Zhuo's purpose in doing this.
However, Yun Zhuo answered her with the same words: "I killed the Ninth Prince."
"Smack!"
Ye Qingxue slapped him across the face, a very crisp slap. After she did, Ye Qingxue herself was stunned.
She looked at her hand in disbelief. Was this the hand that had just hit Yun Zhuo?
Did she hit Yun Zhuo?
Yun Zhuo turned his face to the side after being hit. He raised his hand to his face, covering the spot where Ye Qingxue had hit him, and slowly turned his head to look at Ye Qingxue.
Ye Qingxue shuddered and quickly crawled towards him on her knees to check his face, but Yun Zhuo avoided her.
He gave a pale smile: "There are witnesses and physical evidence to prove that I killed the Ninth Prince. Qingxue, accept reality."
Ye Qingxue felt both pain and anger in her heart. Her eyes were red, and she forced herself not to let the tears fall. She growled, "Are you crazy? Shut up!"
Those around them were baffled. Yun Zhuo killing the Ninth Prince was an undeniable fact, so they couldn't understand why Ye Qingxue refused to believe it. Did she think she could twist the truth and confuse right and wrong?
Similarly, they didn't understand Yun Zhuo. Anyone with eyes could see that Ye Qingxue was desperately trying to clear his name, so why did he insist on admitting to killing the Ninth Prince? Did he have a death wish?
After much deliberation, everyone came to the conclusion that the couple might really have gone mad!
The madman Yun Zhuo in their eyes even obediently said to Ye Qingxue, "Okay, I'll shut up, don't be angry."
Everyone: "..."
Ye Qingxue: "…………"
The sound of clattering hooves grew louder as they approached, and soon everyone saw Prince Xuan, Yunxun, riding towards them in a beige brocade robe.
He was followed by seven or eight guards.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty. Are you alright, Your Majesty?" After dismounting, Yun Xun quickly knelt before the emperor and paid his respects.
"Nothing's wrong, why are you here?" the emperor asked.
"Upon hearing that the imperial prison had been flooded, I quickly led men to investigate. Unexpectedly, we encountered escaped criminals, so I led my men to capture them," Yunxun said.
Only then did everyone notice that his men were bringing three criminals, bound together, towards them.
Everyone looked at Yun Xun with immediate admiration.
Yan Shizheng said, "Lord Zhang, His Highness Prince Xuan has helped you capture some of the criminals. This should probably spare your life!"
Zhang Dezhong immediately crawled over and knelt before Yun Xun: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness!"
Yun Xun said, "This is what I should do. The prisoners in the Heavenly Prison are all vicious and wicked. If they are allowed to escape, countless people will suffer!"
He sighed and continued, "It's just a pity that my abilities are limited, and I can't bring back all the escaped criminals."
Yan Shizheng said, "Your Highness has already done a great job by capturing three criminals on your way here. There's no need to blame yourself!"
Yun Xun hummed in agreement, then frowned and asked worriedly, "Father, when I was apprehending these criminals just now, I seemed to see Prince Jing. But as soon as he saw me, he turned and ran. I wonder how he is now? Was he burned in the fire?"
After Yun Xun arrived, he didn't look to the side, but knelt down directly in front of the emperor and began to speak.
He pretended not to see Yun Zhuo kneeling on the ground.
When he said this, everyone was stunned. The message that Xuan Wang had just said was huge.
Ye Qingxue and Yun Zhuo both frowned. Yun Xun was telling everyone that when the fire broke out, Yun Zhuo was trying to escape from prison, but he ran into Yun Xun's team that had come to the rescue, so he had to turn around and run back.
—Yun Zhuo did not refuse to escape from prison, but he missed the best opportunity to escape, so he had no choice but to take out the wooden carving of the late empress to save his life!
