After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 188 The First Formal Meeting
Yun Zhihan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't be in a hurry to die. If you have to die, you have to die in a proper way."
"What do you mean?"
"The war between the Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou is inevitable, so you can only die on the battlefield."
Before Bai Jin could answer, Yun Yan said, "Aunt, I can go in Jin'er's place."
"What are you going to do? Are you going to die for me?" Bai Jin stopped him angrily, "You have finally survived, why don't you cherish it? Why are you here to join in the fun?"
Yunyan disagreed, "Since I have died once, I am even less afraid of death. But you are a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, how can you endure the hardships of the battlefield?"
Watching the two people fighting with each other, Yun Zhihan even felt a little comforted.
"Okay, stop arguing. It's not a good thing. Well, forget it. I'll tell you my plan first. As for whether you are willing or not, it all depends on you."
After saying this, she carefully told her daughter her idea, which was the only method she could think of.
Bai Jin and Yun Yan were both shocked when they heard this.
"Mom, this trick of yours is really cool."
"Aunt, is this okay? If the prince finds out, it will be a crime that will destroy the entire family."
Of course Yun Zhihan knew it, but she couldn't really watch her daughter die, right?
"So, Jin'er must die in front of everyone, and Yunyan, you are the only one who can take her away."
The two nodded in tacit understanding.
……
A few days later, the imperial edict was issued and all those involved in the case were brought to justice.
Prime Minister Liu was beheaded and the entire Liu family was executed, but the emperor did not punish the entire clan because of the Liu family's past contributions.
After learning that she had been exposed, Concubine Liu died of rage and blood loss.
The emperor demoted him to a commoner, had him wrapped in a mat and thrown into a mass grave.
The Prince of Fenyang's palace was also ransacked, Murong Che was demoted to a commoner, and his fiefdom was taken back.
He himself was imprisoned in the Tianzihao Prison and kept as a bargaining chip with the Southern Kingdom.
Because Zuo Teng had made meritorious contributions to his crime, the emperor decided to lock him up in the dungeon for thirty years. However, he still had to eat and drink, and he only lost his freedom.
Zuo Teng was very pleased with this treatment, and even felt that staying in prison was quite good. It was much safer than being a dead waiter beside King Fenyang.
After dealing with everyone properly, King Fenyang clamored to see Yun Zhihan.
The prince refused at first, but Murong Che threatened with his own life. Before he died, he had only this one request, otherwise he would not be a hostage of the Southern Kingdom.
Murong Yan had no choice but to ask the Princess of Qingyang County if she was willing to meet this person.
"County Lady, this is what happened. Murong Che wants to see you. He wants to ask you something in person. I wonder if you are willing. If you want to refuse, I will think of another way."
The prince also didn't want the two to meet. He always felt that Madam Xie was hiding many secrets, some of which even he himself didn't know.
It would be difficult if Murong Che had any evidence against the Xie family.
But Yun Zhihan really wanted to meet this down-and-out prince. The two had been competing secretly and had never had a head-on confrontation. This might be the last chance.
"Your Highness, do not worry about me. I am willing to meet him."
"Oh?" Now it was Murong Yan's turn to worry, "Does the county lady want to ask him something?"
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I just want to know why he took so long to plan before taking action. It should have been the best time a few years ago when the Southern Kingdom attacked us."
"But he chose to give up. I am a little confused and want to ask him in person."
Murong Yan nodded. This was also what he was curious about.
"Well, since the county lady has no objection, you can go to the prison with me."
Yun Zhihan and the prince came to the Tianzihao prison together, where all the death row prisoners were imprisoned.
As soon as they entered, they could smell a bloody smell mixed with various other stinky smells, which almost made Yun Zhihan vomit.
Seeing this, Murong Yan took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to her, "This is your first time in a place like this, so you're bound to feel uncomfortable. Smell this and you'll feel better."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two continued walking forward and came to the innermost cell. Murong Che was locked in a small dark room with three locks on it. There were four guards guarding the door.
Murong Che saw Yun Zhihan coming and walked towards her with dishevelled hair and dirty face, "I want to talk to the county lady alone."
The prince glanced at them, gave them a few instructions, and then left.
"My Lord, I wonder why you want me here?"
"Haha! You don't have to be polite, County Lady. I am no longer a prince, so you can just call me by my full name. I came to ask you something, so please tell me the truth."
"Speaking!"
"When did the county lady suspect that I wanted to seize the imperial power?"
Yun Zhihan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It probably started after Xie Songqiao's death, right? My husband's death must have been caused by you, right?"
This rhetorical question really surprised Murong Che. Could it be that Xie Songqiao had leaked the news? This useless idiot, even his death did not make him worry.
"I see. Then how did the county lady know my layout? And how did she always find the right moment to escape?"
Yun Zhihan was embarrassed for a few seconds. She couldn't tell him that she was a person who traveled from the 21st century, right? And she also brought a master mother system. This was too scary.
No matter whether Murong Che believes it or not, if this word gets to the ears of the prince and the emperor, how can she escape?
"It's a coincidence. A master once said that my fate is special and I can communicate with ghosts and gods. Since then, I started to learn numerology by myself and I am quite good at fortune-telling."
"The most important thing is that I can predict accurately every time. Once a bad omen appears in the hexagram, I will be ready to fight. As for whether you will take action or not, that is your business, but it does not prevent me from preparing."
Murong Che snorted and laughed. If this was said in the past, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
But ever since the Imperial Observatory said that she had a special fate, he actually believed it when he heard it again today.
"It's really a matter of time and fate."
Yun Zhihan had a blank expression on his face, but he was secretly mocking in his heart, thinking that even without him, you wouldn't have lived to see the end of your life. You weren't destined to be an emperor, but you insisted on dreaming of becoming one, and ended up reaping the consequences. Who could you blame?
"Do you still have any questions?"
"And one last thing. Is my daughter really dead?"
Yun Zhihan's heartbeat quickened when he heard this. Why did Murong Che suddenly ask this question? Did he not believe Zuo Teng?
"Yes! He is dead."
"Did the county master calculate it?"
"Yes."
But Murong Che didn't believe it. He vaguely felt that his daughter was not dead, but was just protected by someone. Well, that's good. He owed her in this life. He hoped that she would be born into a good family in the next life.
"Thank you for telling me. If you have a chance, please go and see that poor daughter for me. You don't need to tell her her true identity. I hope she can be an ordinary citizen in her next life."
