Chapter 307 The Clown
Back in prison, He Yuyan suddenly felt like laughing.
After being forcibly taken back to the capital from Qingzhou by Lu Hanting, nothing she did went smoothly.
She thought that she would no longer suffer after returning, and that even if Lu Hanting didn't pamper and beg her, she would still live a comfortable life.
Unexpectedly, Wu Weiwei suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely disrupting the life she originally wanted.
And now, she has been forced into this state because of Wu Weiwei.
He Yuyan removed the veil from her face; it was no longer needed.
Lu Hanting has seen through her true colors, and he must be very disappointed in her, right?
Just then, a mouse that was looking for food slowly crawled past her feet.
This time, He Yuyan didn't scream in fear like she did last time.
Instead, she sneaked over, pinned the mouse down, grabbed its tail, and slammed it against the wall.
"You're nothing but a clown, and you dare to bully me? Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"
He Yuyan assumed the rat was Wu Weiwei, and she kept shaking it until its head was smashed to pieces.
Even so, she still couldn't give up and stomped on its body one last time.
Seeing its brains splattered everywhere, He Yuyan seemed to vent her anger quite a bit.
"Wu Weiwei, you're just like this rat—not only are you beneath contempt, but you're also utterly disgusting!"
"Heh, if that's disgusting, then why did you bother me in the first place?"
Wu Weiwei entered the prison accompanied by Sitao.
Unexpectedly, she witnessed He Yuyan abusing a rat.
Seeing the rat's miserable state, Wu Weiwei looked away and could only silently mourn for the rat.
Unexpectedly, He Yuyan was forced to take her anger out on rats.
If it weren't for wanting to see her fate, she wouldn't have come to this filthy, stinking prison.
He Yuyan raised her head and looked directly at Wu Weiwei, who was cautiously approaching.
"Wu Weiwei, are you here to mock me?"
"Heh! Now I'm the only one who'll come to see you! Everyone else in the Marquis's mansion, when they see you, will probably think you're as filthy and vicious as the rat you just stepped on..."
"Shut up! Wu Weiwei, you have no right to judge me!"
Wu Weiwei approached her and scanned her from head to toe.
Seeing the ferocious look on her face, I was filled with astonishment.
I never expected Shen Bazhi to treat the woman he liked like this.
Facing Wu Weiwei's gaze, He Yuyan arrogantly raised her chin.
"Heh, you're about to die and you're still being stubborn! He Yuyan, you're truly ignorant!"
"Wu Weiwei, don't think I don't know that it was you who provided the evidence to the emperor."
You think that by defeating me, the Crown Prince will like you? Hmph, you're mistaken! If the Crown Prince knew how vicious you were, he would only despise you even more…
"disgust?"
Wu Weiwei turned her head to look at her.
"Hmph! Do you think someone as clever as the Crown Prince wouldn't see through your clumsy tactics?"
Seeing her indifferent expression, He Yuyan felt resentful.
Why?
Although both were concubines, Wu Weiwei was able to live a prosperous life after leaving the prince, and even found male lovers to serve her.
He Yuyan felt extremely uncomfortable.
In her opinion, Wu Weiwei should have lived like a beggar after leaving the Marquis's mansion, or even been played with and beaten to death by a wealthy old landlord.
But look how well she's doing now, which is different from what she imagined.
Seeing the disapproval on He Yuyan's face, Wu Weiwei smiled slightly.
"I'm telling you, I don't love the Crown Prince, and I don't care what he thinks of me. So, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"By the way, if I remember correctly, you don't have much time left. Even if the Emperor doesn't execute you, you'll probably die a gruesome death, won't you?"
Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, He Yuyan touched her face.
Yes!
She doesn't have much time left.
Even without today's events, she probably wouldn't have escaped death anyway.
"Wu Weiwei, it's all your fault! All of this is because of you. If you hadn't come into my life, I wouldn't be like this today! The young master would never have abandoned me..."
He Yuyan's resentful gaze was fixed on Wu Weiwei.
He felt extremely resentful.
Wu Weiwei moved closer to her, "Want to know why the Crown Prince abandoned you?"
He Yuyan raised her eyes.
Wu Weiwei said with a wicked grin, "You'll find out after you die!"
"Wu Weiwei! I'm going to kill you!"
However, Wu Weiwei simply watched He Yuyan's performance quietly in the face of her threats.
"Silkberry, let's go!"
As she emerged from her cell, Wu Weiwei looked back at the large prison behind her.
News came from the Dali Temple that the emperor would personally oversee the execution of He Yuyan in ten days.
Ha, the female lead's life is as tenacious as a cockroach. Now she only hopes that the emperor can trap Lu Hanting.
He cannot be released from prison until the female lead dies.
Northern Xinjiang.
The eldest princess's mansion.
"Princess, this is an urgent letter from Chulong Prefecture!"
Granny Shi presented the letter.
The eldest princess took the letter, and after reading it, a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
"Granny Shi, Shen Bazhi says he has a lead on the princess!"
"Princess, is it true? Is there news about the young princess?"
The princess nodded, but then her brows furrowed.
"He told me that the princess has been framed by villains and imprisoned by the emperor's younger brother, who will execute her on a later date!"
"Princess, how could this be?"
Granny Shi was greatly surprised.
How could the young princess die before she and the princess have even recognized each other?
"Successor, come with me to the capital immediately! I must go to the capital to rescue her myself!"
"No princess!"
Granny Shi spoke up to stop her.
The eldest princess looked at her and frowned.
"Princess, think about it. If you go alone and the emperor detains you in the capital, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants? Besides, the little princess probably won't be able to be rescued!"
The eldest princess pondered for a moment.
"Alright, Granny Shi, go and summon General Chen and the others. Tell them I have something important to discuss with them..."
Since she couldn't go to the capital, she was bound to make a big move to make her fourth brother wary.
She searched for over a decade and absolutely refused to allow anyone to harm her daughter.
The ministers could sense that the emperor was in high spirits these past two days.
They certainly know the reason.
It's probably because Envoy Lu was sent to prison by the Emperor.
Of course, besides the emperor being happy, the officials were also naturally delighted!
After all, the downfall of Governor Lu made it possible for other ministers to profit.
However, their joy did not last two days. On the day of court, a young eunuch ran into the Hall of Diligent Governance with two urgent letters in his hand.
"Report! Urgent military intelligence from Nanzhao in the northern frontier!"
Emperor Cheng and his ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Read!"
"The Nanzhao Kingdom is in turmoil, and many refugees are breaking through to our border. Furthermore, Nanzhao soldiers are leading an army of 100,000 to press towards our border."
"It is said that the Duke of Qin is unwell and unable to go to the front lines. I implore Your Majesty to send reliable soldiers to reinforce him..."
"Your Majesty, Chen Boyan, under the rule of the Princess of Northern Frontier, has led an army of 300,000 to the city gates, and is prepared not to retreat until the city is breached!"
Upon hearing this devastating news, Emperor Mingcheng was so enraged that he collapsed in the main hall.
