I made the villain right.

The palace of the emperor is carefree.

A maid holding a jade pot in one hand and a lamp in the other walked through the corridor and came quickly to a locked door.

Then she put the jade pot down, took out the key and opened the door. She picked up the jade pot and went in quietly.

The room was pitch black. The maid was walking in the room with the dim light in her hand, and suddenly she saw a person lying on the ground.

The maid was startled. She looked carefully and saw Xu Wuyou lying on the ground unconscious, with blood on his forehead and his face as pale as paper.

The maid was so frightened that she screamed and the jade pot in her hand fell to the ground. She fell to the ground with weak legs and called out in a trembling voice: "Princess...Princess"

The maid was so frightened when she saw Xu Wuyou, who looked lifeless, that she quickly ran out to call for help.

"Someone, the princess committed suicide."

.........

The next day, in a certain courtyard, gusts of cold wind blew, and the yellow leaves on the branches were scattered by the wind to every corner of the courtyard.

The slender figure under the tree made the autumn colors in the yard seem desolate.

Xu Wuyou was wearing a single white dress, with only a silver hairpin in her hair and a white cloth wrapped around her forehead. Her face showed an unconcealable look of haggardness.

She sat quietly under the tree, her eyes empty and lifeless. Seeing the fallen leaves drifting away, her long and thick eyelashes suddenly blinked, and then she gently stretched out her hand, and a fallen leaf fell into her palm.

Xu Wuyou stared at the fallen leaf. She seemed to feel sadness on the leaf and her eyes turned red soon.

She felt that the fallen leaf was just like herself, helpless and forgotten.

The four maids did not dare to disturb her and could only stand not far away and watch her every move.

Two maids were whispering in the background.

"Can the princess's madness be cured? She looks so pitiful. She can only stay in this yard all day and can't go out anywhere. She has become much thinner and haggard. It's really sad to see her."

"I don't know. I think it's good for the princess to be quiet like this. It's more pleasing than when she was making a lot of noise and trying to commit suicide in the past."

A maid with a cold face frowned when she heard the words, and immediately cast a sharp look at the two maids who were talking.

Seeing this, the two maids lowered their heads in fear and dared not say anything more.

At the same time, Xu Wuchen, dressed in a luxurious black robe, was walking towards the yard.

When Xu Wuchen heard that Xu Wuyou had committed suicide, he came to visit her.

When the maids saw him, they all bowed to him. Seeing this, he hurriedly asked them to stop bowing, as if he was afraid of disturbing Xu Wuyou.

Then Xu Wuchen slowly approached Xu Wuyou and called her softly: "Imperial sister"

A familiar voice was heard, and Xu Wuyou turned his head slowly and woodenly. The moment he saw Xu Wuchen, the tears gathered in his eyes fell gently like a drop of amber.

Xu Wuchen was stunned when he saw this, and then a look of heartache appeared on his face.

After all, she was his sister from the same mother, so he still felt sorry for her. He quickly reached out to wipe away her tears, and seeing the wound on her forehead, he asked with concern, "Imperial sister, how are you?"

Feeling the cold touch on his face and her thin clothes, Xu Wuchen frowned and a look of anger quickly appeared on his face.

"Damn it! How do you take care of the princess on a daily basis? You let her wear such thin clothes. If she catches a cold, you will all lose your heads."

Xu Wuchen's scolding frightened several maids so much that they knelt down and begged for mercy. However, there was only one maid in the crowd who had a calm expression and remained silent.

Xu Wuchen no longer paid attention to the maid, but carried Xu Wuyou back to the house. Xu Wuyou was unusually quiet and did not say a word the whole time.

The maids behind them hurriedly followed them. After they went in, they began to serve Xu Wuyou, putting a cloak on her to keep her warm and handing her a hand warmer.

Xu Wuyou looked at these maids with disgust in his eyes.

Normally these maids would treat her like a lunatic and stay as far away from her as possible. But today, her hypocritical behavior in front of Xu Wuchen made her feel sick.

Xu Wuyou gently stroked the hand warmer in her hand, then smiled softly.

She suddenly laughed cunningly like a madman, making the hairs of everyone present stand on end.

However, the next moment, she suddenly threw the hand warmer in her hand to the ground, hitting the cold-faced maid.

With a crisp "clang" sound, the heat in the hand warmer splashed out and splashed onto the cold-faced maid, causing her face to twist with pain.

The cold-faced maid was very dissatisfied with Xu Wuyou's sudden madness. She immediately looked at Xu Wuyou with a hint of resentment and anger in her eyes.

Xu Wuyou naturally saw the look in the maid's eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up and she gave the maid a provocative smile.

She threw it at the maid's feet on purpose.

This woman's name is Luo Qiu. She was sent by Qin Yixian to monitor her in order to prevent her from running out and talking nonsense.

Every time she tried to run out, Luo Qiu would always catch her, and gradually he imprisoned her in the house on the grounds that her condition had worsened and she needed rest.

If I hadn't tried to commit suicide yesterday, she wouldn't have let me leave the room.

Xu Wuyou thought of the humiliation he had suffered these days, and his eyes suddenly became sinister. He looked at those maids with a look of madness and murderous intent.

"Brother, these maids are the ones who treat me harshly on a daily basis. Kill them all!"

The maid was terrified when she heard this. Her face changed drastically and she knelt down quickly, lowering her head and eyes: "Princess, spare my life!"

When Luo Qiu saw Xu Wuyou trying to get Xu Wuchen to kill her, she was shocked. Seeing that everyone was kneeling, she had to follow suit in desperation.

Hearing this, Xu Wuchen was furious: "How dare you bully my sister? Come on, drag them out and beat them to death!"

Several maids were so scared that they trembled all over and kept begging for mercy: "We will never dare to do it again, Princess, please forgive us."

After hearing the order, the guards outside rushed in immediately, grabbed the maids kneeling on the ground and pulled them out. No matter how they struggled, it was useless.

Another guard was about to grab Luo Qiu, but she broke free and said to Xu Wuchen, "I don't think I have treated the princess harshly. It would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to execute me before the truth is revealed."

After these words were spoken, Xu Wuchen began to notice Luo Qiu. How could a servant dare to contradict and threaten him? This did not seem like the courage an ordinary maid should have.

In a blink of an eye, he realized something.

Qin Yixian's spies are hidden everywhere in this palace, and this one might also be Prime Minister Qin's lackey.

He worked so hard to sit on the throne, and he won't allow anyone to step on his head.

Xu Wuchen put on a frown and signaled the guards in the room to leave. Seeing this, the guards left immediately.

Then he asked Luo Qiu: "What's your name?"

"My maid's name is Luo Qiu."

"You have a point. I will temporarily detain you in the dungeon. After finding out the truth, if you are wrongly accused, you can be released from the dungeon."

After that, Xu Wuchen called the guards outside the door again: "Come here, take her to the dungeon."

The guards heard the sound and came in, taking Luo Qiu away directly.

This time, Luo Qiu did not struggle, but obediently followed the guards away.

Seeing that Luo Qiu was just locked up in a dungeon, Xu Wuyou clenched his fists, seeming dissatisfied with the result.

As soon as Luo Qiu stepped out of the door, Xu Wuchen called his personal guard Dacheng to come in, and then instructed him: "Dacheng, you guard outside the door, and no one is allowed to disturb me and my sister reminiscing about the past."

"Yes," Dacheng agreed and closed the door when he walked out.

After Luo Qiu walked into the yard, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the closed door.

Dacheng, who was standing outside the door, noticed Luo Qiu's gaze and met hers with a look full of defensiveness and hostility.

Seeing this, Luo Qiu frowned.

"Hurry up!" The guard behind her saw Luo Qiu suddenly stop and pushed her impatiently.

She had no choice but to turn and leave.

Inside the house, Xu Wuyou poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip calmly.

Originally, she wanted to use Xu Wuchen to deal with the lowly maid, but unfortunately she failed.

It stands to reason that the emperor would not let a maid who dared to contradict him off, but he suddenly changed his attitude towards the maid, probably because he realized that the person behind her was Qin Yixian.

While thinking, Xu Wuchen sat next to her.

When she noticed it, she looked up at him and said, "Brother, you really don't believe the rumors outside and think that I have lost my mind, do you?"

When Xu Wuchen heard this, his face darkened and then he nodded.

"My father passed away suddenly, and everyone said that my sister was too sad and went insane. I believed it, and the imperial physician's diagnosis. Now it seems that my sister speaks clearly, and it doesn't seem like she has gone insane. Those quack doctors must have made a mistake."

The next moment, Xu Wuyou's brows were stained with a trace of sadness: "My royal brother heard that I have been insane for so long, and he never came to visit me once. It really makes me feel heartbroken."

Xu Wusheng's gentle expression became a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

After a moment, he explained, "My father passed away suddenly, and things in the palace were in chaos. I had to take care of everything. Especially since the coronation ceremony is approaching, I am so busy that it is difficult for me to find time to come and see my sister. When I heard that my sister was in trouble, I came to see you immediately."

When Xu Wuyou heard this, the suppressed sadness in her heart suddenly surged up, and she threw herself into Xu Wuchen's arms and burst into tears.

Xu Wuchen patted Xu Wuyou's back to comfort her, but his eyes were cold and without any warmth.

Xu Wuchen knew that Xu Wuyou was not obsessed with gains and losses, and all this was arranged by Qin Yixian, but he did not intend to tear his face with Qin Yixian for Xu Wuyou, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.

After crying for a while, Xu Wuyou gradually calmed down.

"Brother, do you know why I was rumored to have gone insane overnight?"

Xu Wusheng shook his head in puzzlement, waiting for Xu Wuyou's next words.

"All of this was done by Qin Yixian. He had long been plotting a rebellion. I witnessed him forcing the emperor to abdicate and even using me to poison my father for a long time, killing him. Later, he was afraid that I would reveal this matter, so he lied that I was insane and let the slave Luo Qiu imprison and monitor me."

Xu Wuyou shed two lines of tears, his eyes full of hatred and resentment.

Whenever she thought of the scene of that day at midnight, her body would twitch uncontrollably. She wanted to go crazy and kill Qin Yixian with her own hands.

The moment Xu Wuchen learned the truth, he did not show any disbelief.

Xu Wuyou frowned when he saw that Xu Wuchen was not as surprised as he had expected, and looked at him with a hint of complexity and suspicion in his eyes.

"Brother, have you already..."

Before Xu Wuyou could finish the sentence "Have you known about this for a long time?", he was suddenly interrupted by Xu Wuchen.

Xu Wuchen seemed to have just reacted and stood up abruptly, his eyes wide open and furious.

"What? Qin Yixian actually did such a cruel and treasonous thing and killed my father. This is simply a heinous crime!"

Xu Wuchen looked up and saw Xu Wuyou staring at him as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Thinking that he seemed to have interrupted her just now, he couldn't help but ask, "Royal sister, what did you want to say just now?"

Xu Wuyou was stunned and shook his head instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Wuchen shifted his gaze to Xu Wuyou and thought for a moment. With a flicker in his eyes, he had already made a plan in his mind.

His eyes suddenly showed a resolute look: "Don't worry, my sister, I will definitely seek justice for you and my father."

As Xu Wuchen said this, he suddenly remembered something. His eyes were filled with anger, and his hands clenched into fists. "It's just that Qin Yixian is so powerful that it would be difficult for me to overthrow him. Although I sit on the throne, I don't have real power. I am controlled by him in every way. Just now, my sister also saw that the slave girl relied on Qin Yixian's support and dared to contradict and question me."

After Xu Wuyou listened to the whole thing, her hatred towards Qin Yixian reached its peak.

The corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile, her eyes slightly red: "Brother, if you want to sit firmly on the throne, you must get rid of Qin Yixian, otherwise one day you will end up like your father. Why don't we work together to get rid of him?"

Xu Wuchen's face was solemn. He was naturally aware of this problem, but he was slightly surprised to hear these words from Xu Wuyou.

Xu Wuchen was setting a trap for Xu Wuyou to jump into, and when he saw that Xu Wuyou had expressed his stance, a faint smile appeared in his dark eyes.

"Royal sister, how are you going to help me?"

Xu Wuyou whispered something in his ear.

……

After listening to this, Xu Wuchen raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickering. After not seeing his sister for many days, it seemed that he had become different and had become more intelligent.
