I made the villain right.

Xu Wuchen and Dacheng were standing on the high wall, staring at Qin Yixian's figure outside the cell.

Xu Wuchen's eyes were full of mystery. If one day I am no longer useful or become disobedient, Qin Yixian will deal with me.

In Qin Yixian's eyes, my father and I are nothing more than puppets of the imperial power controlled by him. We are played around in his hands and can be abandoned at will when he doesn't want us anymore, like worn-out shoes.

When Xu Wuchen thought of this, his eyes became even colder. He would never become that pathetic puppet.

At this time, Dacheng, who was standing beside him, said: "Now that the Fourth Prince has been arrested and imprisoned, this is a good thing for His Majesty."

Xu Wuchen raised his eyes to look at Dacheng, with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you mean?"

"The Fourth Prince has been fighting with Your Majesty for many years, but in the end, Your Majesty won the throne. The Fourth Prince must be unwilling to accept this. I am worried that he will do something to mess up Your Majesty's coronation ceremony. Now that Qin Xiang is dealing with him, we will have less trouble."

Xu Wuchen suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Where is the imperial sister now?"

"The princess has left the palace. According to our informant, she went to Yun Mansion."

During the morning court session, he specifically mentioned to Qin Yixian in front of all the officials that when he visited Xu Wuyou, he found that her insanity had been cured. He specially invited Qin Yixian to visit Xu Wuyou and brought Qin Yixian to Xu Wuyou.

By making Xu Wuyou's recovery from insanity known to the public, Qin Yixian had no choice but to lift the ban on her.

On the other hand, the most important point is to let Xu Wuyou gain Qin Yixian's trust.

After Qin Yixian and Xu Wuyou met, he sent him away and chatted alone for a long time. No one knew what they were talking about.

But after it was over, Xu Wuyou's ban was lifted.

The imperial sister had just lifted the ban, so why did she rush to the Yun residence? Her relationship with Yun Youying was not that good, so there was something strange about it.

What was she doing in Yun Mansion?

In the garden of the Yun Mansion, Xu Wuyou and Yun Youying were sitting in the pavilion chatting, with two bottles of osmanthus drink on the table.

Their two maids stood behind them serving them.

Yun Youying looked at the wound on Xu Wuyou's forehead and asked, "Princess, how did you get that wound on your forehead?"

"I bumped into him accidentally," Yun Youying said lightly.

Yun Youying looked at Xu Wuyou, who looked unwell, and said worriedly, "Princess, you just recovered from your illness, why didn't you just rest for a few days and come to me?"

"During the days when I was ill, I was locked up in the palace. Day and night, I had to take medicine bottles with me, and I was ignored and laughed at by the maids. I didn't have warm clothes and didn't have enough food. Now that I have finally recovered from my insanity, I really don't want to stay alone in the palace, for fear that I would recall the pain before, so I came out to get some fresh air. After thinking about it, the only person I can talk to in Kyoto is Sister Yun."

As Xu Wuyou spoke, the expression on his face became increasingly sad, as if he had suffered a great deal of hurt during this period.

When he heard her words, Yun Youying couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Xu Wuyou, a noble princess of a country, was treated like this when she was in trouble!

Xu Wuyou and Yun Youying have known each other since childhood. After learning that Xu Wuyou was sick, she wanted to go and visit Xu Wuyou, but was stopped by Yun Zhengting.

Yun Zhengting told her implicitly that there was something fishy about Xu Wuyou's madness due to gains and losses, and it might be related to Qin Yixian.

The previous emperor died suddenly, and then the Sixth Princess went insane. Everything happened too coincidentally, and Qin Yixian was the only one present when it happened. In addition, Qin Yixian also ordered people to keep a close eye on Xu Wuyou and not allow her to step out of the palace.

It's hard not to suspect that there's something fishy going on.

Most officials in the court were afraid of Qin Yixian's power and did not dare to make any speculations.

The Yun family has always kept to themselves and not attached to any force, but they are somewhat wary of Qin Yixian's power. In principle, they stay out of matters that are none of their business and avoid them if possible.

So she didn't dare to visit him rashly. Later, when Xu Wusheng got into trouble, she had even less energy to care about other things.

Yun Youying took Xu Wuyou's hand and said apologetically: "I was unable to visit you when the princess was ill. I feel really bad for you."

Xu Wuyou disapproved and said, "It's better that Sister Yun didn't go. I don't want Sister Yun to see me in such a mess. It will scare Sister Yun."

After Xu Wuyou finished speaking, he looked at the osmanthus drink on the table, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I just recovered from a serious illness, and my brother gave me a lot of gifts. I brought two bottles of the best osmanthus drink for Sister Yun to try."

Xu Wuyou poured two cups of osmanthus drink, then picked up one and shook it gently, as if to release all the sweet and fragrant aroma.

Her plump, fair hands looked even more delicate and soft against the white porcelain cup; even the red nail polish on her nails looked even more charming and bright, emitting a crystal-like luster.

Zhiya, who was behind him, accidentally saw Xu Wuyou's hands, her eyes became slightly confused, and then she regained her clarity.

Xu Wuyou picked up the wine glass and handed it to Yun Youying. "Sister Yun, try it and see if you like it."

Yun Youying took it, put it to her nose and sniffed it. A faint fragrance emanated from the osmanthus drink, and then she took a sip.

When Xu Wuyou saw Yun Youying drink it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up another cup of osmanthus drink on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

After taking two sips, Yun Youying thought of Xu Wusheng. He wondered how his plan was going. He felt uneasy and immediately lost his appetite.

Xu Wuyou just looked up and saw Yun Youying in a trance, with half a cup still in her hand. She felt a little strange, so she asked, "Sister Yun, don't you like this osmanthus drink?"

Seeing Yun Youying didn't respond, Xu Wuyou called out "Sister Yun" again.

Yun Youying came back to her senses after hearing the voice and said, "No." In order not to spoil the fun, she finished the osmanthus drink in the cup.

"I have been out for some time. I'm afraid that my brother will be worried if he doesn't see me, so I will go back to the palace first. Sister Yun, we will meet again another day." After saying this, Xu Wuyou stood up and said goodbye to Yun Youying.

"Okay," Yun Youying said with a smile, then sent Xu Wuyou out of the house.

When they reached the gate of the mansion, Xu Wuyou suddenly stopped and raised a smile as bright as a spring flower. "Sister Yun, please stay. You don't have to see me off. I can go back by myself."

"Slow down on the road"

Xu Wuyou nodded, turned around and got on the carriage, which then moved slowly.

After watching Xu Wuyou leave, Yun Youying turned around and returned home.

The wind blew, the car curtains fluttered, and Yun Youying peeked through the gap at Yun Youying's back as she walked away. The smile on her face disappeared, and a complex emotion surged in her eyes.

Sister Yun, don't blame me. This is the disaster that you are destined to suffer.

Xu Wuyou looked at Dan Kou at his fingertips, his eyes full of indifference and cruelty.

The memory was instantly pulled back to the scene where Chao Chen and Qin Yixian met.

Inside the house, Qin Yixian looked at Xu Wuyou with an oppressive gaze and said helplessly, "Princess, why don't you just stay in the palace? Why did you conspire with His Majesty to plot against me? Do you want to go out so much because you want to make public the fact that I killed the late emperor? In my opinion, it is safer to send you to reunite with your father."

When Xu Wuyou saw that Qin Yixian had seen through their tricks, her face turned pale as paper. When she saw Qin Yixian's dark eyes fall on her, she felt her scalp tingling.

In order to survive, she gave up her self-esteem and pride, knelt down in front of Qin Yixian, tears in her eyes, and explained repeatedly: "It's not like that, on the contrary, I brought grandpa here because I wanted to surrender to him."

Xu Wuyou's sudden change of attitude startled Qin Yixian. He looked down at Xu Wuyou from a superior position and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you call me a traitor and wish I would die before? Why are you coming to me for help now?"

"During the days of house arrest, I have endured the cold stares and ridicule of the palace. Even a maid can step on my head. I am the most honorable princess of Yi Kingdom. I know that only by making myself stronger can I avoid being humiliated. If I want to become stronger, I can only associate with the strong. Looking around, the strongest person in the entire Yi Kingdom is only my grandfather, so I want to associate with him."

Qin Yixian was amazed by Xu Wuyou's words. He saw a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that she would have such an insight.

At the same time, he fully agreed with Xu Wuyou's praise.

Qin Yixian smiled, his smile was evident in his eyes, "It seems that locking you up for a while is not a bad thing. Your horizons and mind have broadened a lot."

Suddenly, Qin Yixian's smile disappeared in an instant. He squatted down and looked at Xu Wuyou in the eye. "Princess, don't forget that I am the murderer of your father. Are you sure you want to be with me?"

When Xu Wuyou heard this, her eyelashes trembled and the tears on her eyelashes instantly fell to the ground. She looked directly at Qin Yixian, her tone cold, steady and powerful.

"Father is destined to be a weakling, and the weak are destined to be eliminated. Grandpa is just speeding up the process. It's not Grandpa's fault."

Qin Yixian stared straight at Xu Wuyou and did not notice her slightly trembling hands hidden in her sleeves.

Xu Wuyou said something shocking again, which made Qin Yixian look at her and smile softly. She was indeed his granddaughter with a blood relationship. He smelled the same aura from her as him, which was cruel and cold.

"Princess, what you said makes some sense, but I don't believe in you, and I won't accept useless people."

"Grandpa hasn't even given his granddaughter a chance to show off, how can he know that she is useless? I remember there was a saying that goes like this: one more enemy is worse than one more friend. Besides, I sincerely want to join Grandpa."

After Xu Wuyou finished speaking, he bowed to Qin Yixian and expressed his willingness to submit to him.

Qin Yixian did not respond immediately, and then there was a knock on the door, and then Wei Dong said, "Prime Minister Qin, I have something to report."

Being suddenly interrupted, Qin Yixian frowned slightly and looked towards the door with displeasure, "What's the matter?"

Wei Dong quickly replied, "Just now there was a message from the prison that Miss Yun wanted to visit the Fourth Prince, and she has now arrived at the prison gate."

When Xu Wuyou heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Xu Wusheng was caught.

Qin Yixian thought for a moment and said, "Let her go, but you have to keep a close eye on their every move."

"Yes," Wei Dong replied and left.

After a moment, Qin Yixian seemed to suddenly think of something, and a cunning arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Since the princess is so confident, then I will give you a chance."

When Xu Wuyou heard this, a look of joy appeared on her face. She was about to open her mouth to thank him, but she heard Qin Yixian say something that made her smile freeze instantly.

"However, I want you to do something for me first. This will be your token of loyalty."

He took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Xu Wuyou, "This is a heart-eating poison that kills people invisibly. The poisoned person will suffocate to death after seven days. Today you will give this poison to Yun Youying."

There was a look of horror on Xu Wuyou's brows. She looked at the porcelain bottle in Qin Yixian's hand with complicated feelings. On the one hand, she was thinking about the feelings she had when she met Yun Youying, and on the other hand, she wanted to gain Qin Yixian's trust so that she could take revenge.

After struggling for a moment, she asked in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, why did you kill her?"

Qin Yixian's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Why, the princess doesn't want to?"

Xu Wuyou's face changed and she quickly said, "No." Then she took the porcelain bottle.

Xu Wuyou's thoughts were pulled back. She looked at the nail polish on her nails, frowned, and said to the maid in the carriage: "Qiu Zhi, after returning to the palace, immediately remove this nail polish for me."

Qiu Zhi is the new maid arranged by Xu Wuchen for Xu Wuyou, and Xu Wuyou trusts her quite a bit.

Qiu Zhi had made this nail polish for Xu Wuyou not long ago, and she knew the secret behind this nail polish.

Qiu Zhi glanced at Xu Wuyou knowingly, and then replied, "Yes."

In the Yun residence, Zhiya was holding a sweet-scented osmanthus drink and chatting with Yun Youying as they walked: "Miss, the Sixth Princess really loves beauty. She just recovered from a serious illness and she likes to dress up so much. She even paints her nails with nail polish. But it's true, nail polish makes her fingers even more beautiful."

"It is human nature to love beauty. Besides, the princess has just recovered from a serious illness and is in a good mood. There is nothing wrong with dressing herself up."

Yun Youying realized that it was inappropriate for Zhiya to talk about others behind their backs, so she glanced at Zhiya and said, "Zhiya, you are getting more and more presumptuous. You dare to talk about the princess."

Zhiya bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, I was too talkative."

As soon as she returned to the room, she felt a dull pain in her chest. She couldn't help but bend down and frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Zhiya asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you? You are not feeling well."

In an instant, Yun Youying felt the pain in her heart disappear, and she straightened up. A look of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Is it because I have been worrying too much these days?

She didn't take it too seriously and just said to Zhiya, "It's okay, I'll just take a rest."

Zhiya helped Yun Youying to lie on the couch to rest, and then covered her with bedding before leaving.
