Chapter 406 Yang Shu's Revenge
Emperor Taihe sneered: "Unjust? You mean, I am wronging you?"
"Your Majesty, someone must have deliberately framed me!" Yang Xiu explained with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, someone must have deliberately framed me!
After being poisoned, I have been very weak and have been staying in the palace to recuperate these days. It is really unfair!"
Emperor Taihe directly questioned: "I remember that the last time you entered the palace, you were accompanied by a guard. Where is that person now? Why didn't you bring him with you this time?"
Yang Xiu's heart started to panic, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He had already guessed that Emperor Taihe would ask about Lin Xiao, but when he was actually questioned, he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Your Majesty," Yang Xiu said carefully, speaking the words he had prepared long ago, "Lin Xiao is indeed my personal bodyguard, and I have always trusted him very much, so I always keep him by my side.
It was only after I woke up this morning that I learned that Lin Xiao had disappeared. No one in the palace knew his whereabouts, let alone when he left the palace.
"I don't know why he suddenly disappeared or where he went. I was not strict in my discipline, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Lax discipline? Ha!" Emperor Taihe sneered disdainfully, "Is that all you want to say to me?"
Yang Xiu smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, every word I say is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. Please understand clearly, Your Majesty!"
At the end of his speech, his face suddenly changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Emperor Taihe's face darkened as he looked at his pale and frail appearance with an icy gaze. Finally, he snorted unhappily, "Since you're not feeling well, go back and rest. Think carefully about where you went wrong!"
"Wei Chen obeys!"
Yang Xiu bowed weakly, then slowly stood up and walked out with difficulty.
Emperor Taihe immediately ordered Wang Zhi, "Go and interrogate those people yourself. I want to know what exactly is going on! Especially Yang Shu. She should know a lot. Ask her carefully."
Wang Zhi saw his displeasure and quickly accepted the order respectfully.
On the other side, Yang Shu was not feeling well at this time.
Although she changed into clean clothes and washed her body, she still could not forget the embarrassment of losing control of her bladder in public.
In particular, there were four deep claw marks on her face. The imperial physician said that the wounds were too deep and would definitely leave scars.
Yang Shu looked in the mirror once, and then she seemed to have lost her soul. She sat there blankly, as if only a broken shell remained.
In fact, her mind was full of that terrible memory.
She seemed to be trapped in that nightmare, constantly revolving in it, and Lin Xiao's words kept replaying in her ears -
"Hurry up and find a way to kill them. Don't leave any alive."
These words were like a sharp knife, constantly stabbing Yang Shu.
Torturing her to the point of driving her crazy.
Finally, Yang Shu couldn't stand it any longer and screamed: "Ah——"
Soon a palace servant came over and asked, "Is the county lady feeling unwell?"
Yang Shu raised her pale little face, looked at the palace maid with a gloomy gaze, and suddenly said, "Tell His Majesty that Lin Xiao and Wang Kui colluded. First, they secretly poisoned me and forced me to seek help from the Divine Doctor Yao. Then they secretly poisoned the people around the Divine Doctor Yao and framed me! Afterwards, they also wanted to kill me and my guards to silence me. Please, Your Majesty, take charge of this matter for me!"
The palace maid's face changed, she knelt down and saluted, then quickly turned around to report the news.
After Yang Shu and her guards were brought back by the Black Kirin Guards, Yang Shu was sent to the palace.
She was still the Princess of Anning County and the legitimate daughter of King Zhou, so Emperor Taihe did not put her in prison. He just placed her under house arrest in a remote palace and specially arranged for palace servants to guard her.
After the imperial physician treated Yang Shu's injuries and examined her body, she has been under house arrest here ever since.
And I have been in a daze until now.
After escaping from that terrible nightmare, Yang Shu bluntly told Lin Xiao and Wang Kui that they wanted to kill her.
She had actually guessed long ago that the other party was following Yang Xiu's orders, and the person who really wanted to kill her was actually Yang Xiu!
But she didn't mention Yang Xiu directly.
After all, the other party is her own brother. If she tells about Yang Xiu herself, she will have no way to explain to her father and mother after returning to Gusu.
All the blame can only be put on Lin Xiao and Wang Kui.
However, Lin Xiao was Yang Xiu's bodyguard, and Wang Kui was treated well by Yang Xiu. She believed that as long as Emperor Taihe was not stupid, he would be able to guess that Yang Xiu was the mastermind behind the scenes.
If Emperor Taihe could help her get rid of Yang Xiu, that would be perfect.
In the past, she was too stupid and was bewitched by her mother. She always thought that she had to rely on her biological brother Yang Xiu.
So no matter how terrible Yang Xiu was, she never dared to tell anyone, for fear that Yang Xiu would lose his position as the crown prince and she would suffer as well.
It was not until Wang Kui pushed her hard into the wolf's mouth and Lin Xiao urged Wang Kui to kill her quickly that she finally realized how stupid she had been before!
So what if Yang Xiu is his biological brother?
Who says that a brother must protect his own sister?
He used to bully her, and now he wants to kill her!
She should have figured it out as early as when he brutally killed her Persian cat.
Unfortunately, she was too young at the time and was only afraid.
Yang Xiu laughed at herself, her laughter was crazy, but her tears flowed like a dam bursting.
Brother, brother, even if you don’t die this time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to continue to be the crown prince.
Are you satisfied?
You think my bad reputation brings shame to you, and you think I'm too stupid to ruin all your plans.
But haven’t you lost everything?
Your guard stole a baby and took the baby hostage. From now on, what good reputation can you have?
The girl from the Xie family is a lucky star, you shouldn't mess with her.
Yang Xiu had the last laugh, only deep regret remained in her heart: she shouldn't have come to the capital, and even more so, she shouldn't have provoked Xie Xiu. That kid had completely destroyed her with just one sentence, making all her efforts go to waste!
What a lucky star!
the other side.
After hearing Yang Shu's accusation, Wang Zhi immediately interrogated Wang Kui and the injured guards.
Although Wang Kui had been fighting with the wolf leader and only had some scratches on his body, he was later shot in the right shoulder by an arrow and the injury was not light.
The arrowhead has barbs, and once it pierces the flesh, it is very difficult to remove.
If the arrow is forcibly removed, it is easy to tear the blood vessels, causing heavy bleeding and death.
After Wang Kui was captured, he tried to commit suicide several times, but unfortunately the Black Kirin Guards did not give him the opportunity.
He did not dare to betray Yang Xiu. Not to mention that Yang Xiu treated him very well, if he betrayed Yang Xiu, he would be considered disloyal and unrighteous.
His family is also in Gusu!
If he betrays, his family will surely die!
Wang Kui did not dare to betray and could only pay with his life.
So after hearing Yang Shu's accusation, he directly confessed: "I was just confused for a moment and pushed An Ning County Lady, and I didn't intend to kill her.
As for Lin Xiao, he was either bribed to betray His Royal Highness, or someone was deliberately impersonating him. I only wanted to kill Fang Shuo, that villain, and never thought of killing anyone else!
Wang Zhi sneered: "Really? But Liu Yu and Fang Shuo didn't say that."
Wang Kui's heart tightened: "What did they say?"
