"If they manage to escape, all will be well. But if they are caught, they will be executed along with you."
His voice was very hoarse, but he still managed to get his point across. After he finished speaking, he simply looked at Ye Qingxue and said nothing more.
Ye Qingxue was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that he had overheard what Madam Zhou had said in the room.
She had been thinking that Madam Zhou wouldn't be so kind as to persuade her to escape, but now, thanks to the deposed crown prince's reminder, she understood what was going on.
Her hands clenched into fists, and a murderous glint appeared in her eyes. Madam Zhou wanted Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter to die with her!
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I won't fall for it." Ye Qingxue's tone was icy as she turned and strode out.
Madam Zhou was still angry. Ye Qingxue ignored her advice and turned to leave, which was really rude. Then she saw Ye Qingxue return, full of hostility, striding up to her as if she wanted to kill her.
Madam Zhou was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "You wretched child, what kind of attitude is this? Do you intend to kill your mother?"
After saying that, Madam Zhou became a little nervous because she suddenly realized that Ye Qingxue really dared to kill her mother!
Ye Qingxue's gaze was sharp as she stared directly at her: "Let me ask you, why are you so kind as to persuade me to run away? The mother-daughter bond between us was severed long ago by your seventeen lashes!"
Ye Qingxue looked down at him with a piercing gaze, like a mountain crashing down, making Madam Zhou's face turn pale.
“You don’t have such cunning. Madam Min sent you here, didn’t she? Where do you want me and Chunxia and Qiudong to run to?”
"The whole world belongs to the king; all people within the borders are his subjects. Do you really think the five of us women can escape?"
"If you can't escape and are caught by the Emperor's men, do you know what the consequences will be? The consequences are that originally only I would have to die, but if they protect me and help me escape, all four of them will have to be executed along with me!"
"Madam Min wants me and everyone around me to die, and you, under the guise of our lifelong mother-daughter bond, actually came here to be her executioner!"
Madam Zhou's face drained of color, and she stammered for a long time before finally saying, "Your second aunt isn't such a heartless person. When she heard that the Emperor's men were coming to arrest you, she cried more heartbrokenly than anyone else!"
"Although she wants to teach you a lesson, she can't bear to see you executed. She just wants you to live! You can't let your own cruelty make you see everyone as a bad person!"
Madam Zhou was initially outwardly strong but inwardly weak, but the more she talked, the more she felt that it made sense, and she gradually gained confidence.
Ye Qingxue was so angry she almost laughed. Ignoring her status as a mother and the injury on her back, she grabbed her collar, pulled her up, and forced her face in front of her!
"Is that what you think? Fine, today I'll show you Madam Min's true colors, show you what a vicious and venomous person she is! And I'll show you how foolish you are!"
Ye Qingxue forcefully pushed her toward Dongbai.
"Take her away, find a good spot to lock her up, and make sure she can witness Madam Min's actions firsthand!"
Next, everyone from the Marquis's residence will gather at Guanju Courtyard.
