I made the villain right.

"My Lord, I couldn't even get through the door before I was driven away by his housekeeper. Marquis Yun didn't even show up. He is so arrogant that he doesn't even take my Lord seriously!"

After Butler Wang returned to Prime Minister Qin's residence, he immediately reported to Qin Yixian, wishing to provoke Qin Yixian's anger and kill him at Yunbohou's residence.

Qin Yixian frowned when he heard this. This Marquis Yun was really difficult to deal with. It seemed that he had to go to Marquis Yun's mansion in person.

But he still had to find a way to make Yun Bohou accept his apology.

After Qin Yixian thought for a moment, he realized something and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then he said to Steward Wang, "Find a few people who have nothing to do with our Xiangfu and have them destroy all the shops that Yun Bohou has managed well."

There was a gleam of light in Butler Wang's eyes. He knew that the Prime Minister would not sit idly by and would have a way to deal with them.

"I obey your command. If everything is ok, I will leave now."

Qin Yixian waved his hand when he heard this, and Butler Wang turned and left.

After Butler Wang left, Qin Yixian tapped his fingers lightly, a calculating gleam in his eyes.

The next second, a malicious and cruel smile bloomed on his face, like a poisonous snake, bloodthirsty and terrifying.

"I'm kind of looking forward to meeting Yun Bohou."

Changle Palace.

"Princess, how could you bear to feed such a delicious meal to the white rat? This is a top-quality lobster."

Qiu Zhi saw Xu Wuyou bringing a plate of lobsters to Bai Shu and asked with some concern.

Xu Wuyou ignored Zhiqiu's words and just quietly watched the white mouse eat. He had a faint smile on his face, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Qiu Zhi saw the white mouse eating with gusto and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

You should know that the meat of lobster is extremely tender and expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. However, the Sixth Princess actually fed it to the white rats, which was a complete waste of resources.

"If Princess doesn't want to eat it, you can give it to me." Qiu Zhi suggested tentatively.

The smile on Xu Wuyou's face froze after hearing this, and she raised her eyes and glanced at her indifferently.

"Qiu Zhi, have you ever heard a saying, people who are greedy die quickly."

Xu Wuyou's tone was calm, but it sounded eerie, and there seemed to be an implicit warning in his words.

After hearing this, Qiu Zhi's heart trembled and he quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"I know I was wrong, I hope the princess will forgive me..."

Xu Wuyou glanced at Qiu Zhi, his eyes were stern and his voice was cold, and he warned again: "It's good that you know you are wrong. Remember not to touch my things casually, if you want to die."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhi quickly shut his mouth and dared not say another word.

She had been staying with the Sixth Princess these days and found that her behavior was becoming more and more strange, as if she had become a different person. She even wondered if she was a little crazy?

She has recently raised a lot of white mice. When she has nothing to do, she would ask people to cook and feed the mice. However, strangely, the white mice do not live long and die after a while.

She has recently become very interested in medicine and likes to go to the library to read medical books. She is very devoted and can read for hours without feeling tired. This has completely overturned the Sixth Princess she knew before.

At this time, a maid came in and reported: "Princess, a palace maid just said that King Jing'an invites you to the back garden for a chat."

Xu Wuyou showed a hint of surprise when she heard this. Her uncle, the Grand Prince, was very cold to others and looked like he kept strangers away. He exuded majesty and she felt scared when she saw him.

Therefore, she rarely saw her uncle Tai Wang and seldom interacted with him.

I wonder why he suddenly came to her today?

Prince Jing'an was probably her elder, and since she had been invited, it would be impolite not to see him.

Xu Wuyou stood up, took a look at the white rat in the cage, and told Qiu, "I'm going to go out for a while. Ask someone to keep an eye on this room. Don't let anyone touch my white rat."

"Yes, Princess," Qiu Zhi responded.

After Xu Wuyou left, Qiu Zhi was the only one left in the room. She looked at the lobsters on the plate and felt very greedy. She secretly reached out and wanted to take a few.

At this moment, Qiu Zhi recalled Xu Wuyou's cold words and immediately shrank back.

After she walked out of the room, she told the maid not to enter the room and then left.

After a while, a maid sneaked in when no one was around. When she saw the lobsters on the plate, her eyes lit up. She opened the cage, quickly stole a few lobsters and then slipped away.

Little did she know that the moment she closed the door, the white rat in the cage suddenly fell down, its limbs twitching, its eyes bulging, and it died with its eyes open.

When Xu Wuyou arrived at the back garden, Prince Jing'an was waiting for her in the pavilion. There was also another person beside him. She recognized that person. He was Prince Jing'an's adopted son Xu Zhijing. She had met him once when he accompanied Prince Jing'an to Beijing a few years ago.

After Xu Wuyou came over, she knelt slightly and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets Grand Uncle Wang."

King Jing'an glanced at her and said calmly, "No need to be polite."

King Jing'an's eyes fell on her face for a moment, "I heard that you became insane not long ago. Are you fully recovered now?"

Xu Wuyou's face froze when he heard this.

She was not sick in the first place; it was all rumors spread by Qin Yixian to trap her. This rumor was like an insulting scar in her heart, reminding her of the insults she had suffered and the death of her father. Whenever it was mentioned, it would arouse the anger and pain in her heart, so she hated others mentioning it.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Tai Wang. I have recovered."

After the polite words, King Jing'an got straight to the point and said, "I have something to ask the princess."

What on earth was it that required him to ask her in person?

Xu Wuyou's nerves suddenly tensed up, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She raised her eyes and looked at him. King Jing'an's eyes were too clear. "Uncle Tai Wang, feel free to ask me anything."

"Okay, then Princess, please follow me to talk somewhere else."

Prince Jing'an brought Xu Wuyou to a side room in the back garden. After entering, Xu Zhijing closed the door and waited at the door, afraid of being disturbed.

Xu Wuyou became nervous when he saw how alert they were.

King Jing'an had already sat down. Seeing her standing still, he could tell she was nervous, so he said softly, "Princess, please don't be nervous. Please sit down."

The cold voice had a little more warmth.

Xu Wuyou sat down pretending to be calm.

The room fell into silence, and she could clearly feel her heartbeat quickening.

She and King Jing'an stayed in the same room, sitting face to face, and every minute and every second seemed long and torturous to her.

After a while, King Jing'an stared at her with his sharp eyes and asked, "I heard that the princess was also present on the day when the late emperor passed away. Can you tell me what happened on that day?"

Prince Jing'an and Qin Yixian are enemies. If she could tell the truth about what happened that day, Prince Jing'an might join them in dealing with Qin Yixian.

However, Prince Jing'an only brought a team of soldiers with him when he entered the capital this time, and the capital was Qin Yixian's territory. How could he compete with Qin Yixian?

If Qin Yixian knew that she was the one who informed on him, he would definitely kill her.

Now she had finally gained Qin Yixian's trust and was free.

She didn't dare to risk her life until her great revenge was taken.

After considering for a moment, she decided to discuss it with Xu Wuchen before making a decision.

Prince Jing'an's eyes were like those of a hawk stalking a target, sharp and deep, as if he could see through her.

She felt guilty when being looked at by the other party and quickly avoided the other party's sight.

"That day... that day I heard that my father was seriously ill, so I went to visit him. Prime Minister Qin was also there. My father endured the pain and wrote his will before he passed away. I... I was so sad that I fainted. I don't know anything about what happened afterwards."

Xu Wuyou spoke a little haltingly because he felt guilty.

"Did the princess notice anything unusual?"

"What abnormality is the great uncle referring to?"

King Jing'an said bluntly: "Whether Prime Minister Qin has committed treason and threatened the late emperor..."

Prince Jing'an remembered that Xu Wusheng had said that Qin Yixian had confined her to her house during her illness.

Then he gave her an inquiring look and asked, "Or coerced you..."

When Xu Wuyou saw that King Jing'an hit the nail on the head, his heart skipped a beat.

Her eyes flickered a few times, "I was so focused on my father that I didn't pay attention to anything else."

After hearing this, King Jing'an's eyes showed a thoughtful look and a hint of suspicion.

He discovered a clue from Xu Wuyou's answer. He knew best whether he was being coerced or not. When answering the question of whether he was being coerced, his first reaction should be yes or no.

However, she did not deny the coercion, but said that she did not find anything.

Is she acquiescing?

In addition, he vaguely felt that she was suspected of lying because she stuttered, her eyes were evasive, and she never dared to face him calmly.

Having asked all the questions, he dismissed the guest coldly, "Well, this king has no more questions. Princess, if you have nothing else to ask, please go back."

Xu Wuyou was eager to leave this place, and stood up immediately after hearing this, "Okay, then I will take my leave first."

After saying that, she opened the door and left without even looking back.

After Xu Wuyou returned to Changle Palace, she found that a palace maid had died in her palace.

When the body was carried out, she took a glance and saw that the palace maid had died with blood coming out of her mouth, as if she had been poisoned.

She just looked at it and didn't care. When she returned to the room where she had fed the white rat before, she found that the white rat in the cage was dead. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After a while, she asked Qiu Zhi to pack up these things and throw them away.

"Why did Bai Se die again?" Qiu Zhi couldn't help but mutter as he threw the things away.

On the way back, she accidentally overheard a conversation between two maids, and the content of the conversation made her shudder.

"How could Xiaoyu die suddenly? She looked so scary." A tall and thin maid said in panic.

The maidservant beside her who was half a head shorter than her answered: "I don't know, it looks like he died of poisoning."

"Maybe"

"But I heard from Xiaobai, who shared the same dormitory with her, that he found shrimp shells hidden under Xiaoyu's bed. How could she afford lobsters?"

After hearing this, the tall and thin maid's maid speculated: "The princess has been eating shrimps recently and feeding them to white mice. Do you think she stole them from there?"

"Very likely." Another maid nodded in response.

Qiu Zhi suddenly understood what the maid said and suddenly understood why the white rats raised by the Sixth Princess always died.

Because the food fed to the mice was poisonous.

After Qiu Zhi returned to her room, she was still frightened and was glad that she did not eat too much, otherwise she would be the one to die. At the same time, she secretly cursed the Sixth Princess as a pervert.

As soon as Xu Wuchen received the news from Qiu Zhi, Xu Wuyou came to him and told him that King Jing'an was looking for her.

Xu Wuchen's face became a little solemn after hearing this, but he still did not forget to persuade her patiently.

"Royal sister, your decision not to tell King Jing'an the truth was correct. King Jing'an and Qin Yixian are incompatible. If they knew that you supported King Jing'an, you would be in danger of losing your life. Moreover, King Jing'an values ​​Xu Wusheng the most. If he were to ascend the throne, would you and I still have a chance to survive?"

Right now Xu Wuchen wants to stabilize Xu Wuyou and not let her ruin his plan.

Xu Wuyou frowned when he heard this, "I may not support Prince Jing'an, but I cannot get rid of the hatred in my heart unless Qin Yixian is dead. I must avenge my father!"

When Xu Wuyou finished speaking, his eyes were filled with hatred.

Xu Wuchen said thoughtfully: "Qin Yixian must be eliminated, but now is not the time..."

Right now he still needs Qin Yixian to deal with King Jing'an, so he can't take action against him yet. He has to wait for an opportunity.

Xu Wuyou saw that Xu Wuchen was hesitant about how to deal with Qin Yixian. She was not very satisfied and secretly decided to do it herself.

Xu Wuyou thought about it with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"Imperial sister, imperial sister..." Xu Wuchen saw Xu Wuyou suddenly lost in thought and spoke to wake her up.

Xu Wuyou's eyes suddenly regained clarity, and after coming to his senses, he asked, "Well, what's wrong?"

Xu Wusheng thought of the news Qiu Zhi had sent him, and looked at Xu Wuyou with a hint of strangeness in his eyes. Then he asked, "What have you been busy with recently, my sister? Why don't you come over to visit me?"

Xu Wuyou was reluctant to say and deliberately concealed the truth: "Nothing, just drinking tea and doing some housework in my spare time. My brother is busy with official duties, so I dare not disturb him too much."

Xu Wuchen saw that she was lying to him, and his eyebrows slightly frowned, and then relaxed. He did not expose her, but smiled and said: "Royal sister, why are you still alienated from me? I still hope that you will stick to me as before."

In order to appear closer, he changed his self-proclaimed name from "I" to "Royal Brother".

"Okay," Xu Wuyou replied with a smile.

After they chatted for a while, she left.
