"I'll go with Qingxue, wherever she goes I'll go... I have to stay with them, brother and sister, and protect them." Ignoring all advice, Madam Zhou crawled frantically on the ground, and even Kang Mama couldn't stop her.
“Madam, even if you want to go with the Princess, you should get up and walk to keep up. Otherwise, you’ll injure your knees soon and won’t be able to keep up with the Princess’s pace.”
Madam Zhou was stunned for a moment before listening to Granny Kang's words, standing up from the ground, and staggering after Ye Qingxue.
...
Ye Cunsi gradually realized that Yun Xun had not misunderstood him, which was why he had the soldiers arrest him.
Yun Xun deliberately convicted him, regardless of whether he was guilty or not.
He originally thought that since Yun Xun had brought his men, he had received support and that suppressing the bandits would be a piece of cake, and making meritorious contributions would not be difficult.
Now, he is caught in a pincer attack by Yun Xun and the mountain bandits.
He and his men were accused of "rebellion" by Yun Xun.
Not only was he surrounded and killed, but all the people who went with him to deliver grain to the Heavenly Eagle Holy Kingdom were also surrounded and killed!
Even though Lan Yi's incident last year caused him excruciating pain and anger, he still felt that same excruciating pain and anger when he was falsely accused again this year!
They have just returned from the Holy Kingdom of Sky Eagle after a long journey.
Even if we don't expect to be treated to a banquet, we shouldn't be accused of colluding with bandits and plotting a rebellion!
Blood splattered onto Ye Cunsi's face. He wiped it away and roared in a deep voice, "Open your dog eyes and look! Where have we colluded with the bandits? If we really had, would we be being attacked from both sides by you now?"
That's ridiculous!
That's ridiculous!
But no one paid him any attention. These people all obeyed Yun Xun's orders, and with ten thousand taels of silver as a reward, everyone wanted to be the first to win.
Even if they didn't want to win, they didn't dare to stand on Ye Cunsi's side, for fear of being labeled as rebels.
Of course, the soldiers who rushed up from behind couldn't see the truth of the battle either. The message they received was that Ye Cunsi had rebelled and they had killed him!
The weather was actually quite nice, but the spray of blood mist blocked out the sunlight, making the mountain hazy, damp, and filled with the stench of blood that was so foul it made people want to vomit.
Ye Qingxue, with Dongbai by her side, finally charged up from another path. She whipped her long whip, clearing away some of the soldiers, and stood in front of Ye Cunsi.
When Yun Xun saw her, he suddenly stopped what he was doing, and the soldiers behind him also stopped.
The fighting has temporarily ceased.
Ye Cunsi called out, "Sister!"
It was just two words, but for some reason, Ye Cunsi felt a lump in his throat and even had the urge to cry!
A ruthless glint flashed across Yun Xun's slightly chubby face as he said, "Ye Cunsi colluded with mountain bandits in an attempt to rebel. The evidence is conclusive, and he should be arrested and brought to justice."
"But he refused to confess even after his death. As Ye Cunsi's elder sister, Princess Jing not only did not persuade the traitor Ye Cunsi to turn back, but even helped him fight against the government troops. Her intentions must be different!"
"Issue my order! Seize Ye Cunsi and Princess Jing! Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"
After making his statement, Yun Xun was the first to rush forward, and the fighting resumed.
Ye Qingxue lashed out with her whip, which wrapped around Yun Xun's longsword and pulled him sharply towards her. Yun Xun was no match for her and was forced to "rush" in front of Ye Qingxue before he could finally regain his footing.
Just as Yun Xun was about to retaliate, he suddenly heard Ye Qingxue say, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, please don't be in a hurry, I have something to ask you!"
While the others were fighting, Ye Qingxue and Yun Xun stopped, but both of them gripped their weapons tightly, remaining constantly on guard against each other.
"What does Princess Jing want to ask?" Yun Xun asked.
Ye Qingxue raised an eyebrow: "What, you're not calling me sister-in-law anymore?"
"A mere traitor, how dare you call me sister-in-law?"
"You've completely forgotten the kindness I showed you when I helped you find the little embroidered ball... But the day the little embroidered ball 'flew away,' wasn't that actually your scheme? You sensed something was wrong with the Empress all along, and you deliberately led me to discover it so you could use me to deal with the Empress, didn't you?"
"Empress Shen has passed away; further discussion is pointless!"
"Alright, let's not talk about Empress Shen anymore, let's talk about the present! You're the one who colluded with the bandits! You're also the one who set fire to the prison and released the escaped prisoners! You're the one who kidnapped the students! Last night you wanted to get rid of Yun Zhuo! Am I wrong?"
Yun Xun was slightly shocked; Ye Qingxue actually knew everything!
Since she knew all this, why did she still follow him up the mountain alone?
Yun Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "So what if it is? As long as you and Ye Cunsi die here today, all those things will be Ye Cunsi's doing—once people are dead, they can be convicted directly, and your Marquis Zhongyong's mansion will be completely destroyed! No one will come to save Yun Zhuo anymore!"
Ye Qingxue picked up where he left off: "In that case, your path to being named Crown Prince will be completely smooth!"
Yun Xun's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "That's right, prepare to die!"
Not far away, in a grassy hollow beneath a giant rock, General Lan and a historian were hiding.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early," General Lan urged the historian. "Write, write quickly! Have you finished writing? We need to hurry down the mountain to the palace and meet the Emperor!"
