Chapter 260 The Truth Revealed by Xu Maochun
"Yes, I am here to be a lobbyist."
Bai Yuzhu looked at Xu Maochun with complicated eyes, "Xie Jia is dead, did you know?"
Xu Maochun was stunned when he heard this: "She's dead? How did she die?"
Bai Yuzhu's eyes were dim: "Just before I came here, she died in Chen Fang's arms, and her body was covered in blood.
You have seen her before. She disfigured herself, stabbed someone to death, and then fell and had a miscarriage, injuring herself.
The conditions in the prison made it impossible for her to take good care of herself. She had been very weak these days and was locked up with Chen Fang.
Just tonight, she suddenly cried out in pain, convulsed and rolled over, and finally died in Chen Fang's arms, bleeding profusely.
Bai Yuzhu's tears welled up when she said this, "Although I hate Chen Fang and Xie Jia, it really hurts me to see her die so miserably.
Maochun, just tell me everything you know. Chen Fang has already said it, so don't be stubborn. I don't want the things we did to come back to haunt our children!
Did you know that Xie Yi also died not long ago? His legs were festering and he could not be cured. He finally chewed up more than ten Xiaoyao Pills and swallowed them.
Look, everything Chen Fang did has come back to haunt her and her children. We can't go on like this!
Jinse and Jinrong are still so young, they don’t know anything and have never hurt anyone. They shouldn’t be implicated by us.
Do you really have the heart to let them end up like Xie Yi and Xie Jia?"
Bai Yuzhu became more and more excited as she spoke, tears streaming down her face, and she felt extremely regretful.
She hated herself for being too cowardly and greedy and not letting Xu Maochun elope with her, which led to her ending up like this.
Seeing that Xu Maochun still didn't nod, she said excitedly: "Maochun, don't you want to bring down the Chen family and avenge your mother and yourself? Jinse and Jinrong are still so young, do you want them to be buried with us?"
Xu Maochun closed his eyes and said, "You don't have to say anything more. I will tell you everything I know."
He said, looking at Lu Xuan and Luo Zheng beside him: "Let me say yes, but you must promise me to protect my two children, find a good family to adopt them, and keep them away from the disputes in the capital."
Lu Xuan and Luo Zheng exchanged a glance, and Lu Xuan said calmly, "Whether we can save their lives depends on the value of what you say."
Xu Maochun smiled sarcastically: "Don't worry, what I said is definitely worth it.
They are still young now. If they go to a strange place and no one tells them about these things, they will not remember their current identities when they grow up, and it will be even more impossible for them to seek revenge."
"I can only promise you that if you tell me everything you know, I will ask His Majesty to show mercy and send those two children out of the capital to be adopted by wealthy families.
But whether His Majesty will agree, and whether the siblings can be together, all depends on His Majesty's wishes."
Xu Maochun pursed his lips and said nothing, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
At this time, Luo Zheng said calmly: "Empress Chen is trying to assassinate His Majesty. The Chen family will have no chance of escaping this time, and all the in-laws will be implicated. If you don't speak up now, you will never be able to save your two children."
Xu Maochun opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Empress Chen assassinated His Majesty? How is this possible!"
He looked at Luo Zheng and Lu Xuan suspiciously, suspecting that Luo Zheng was lying.
However, there was no sign of surprise on Lu Xuan's face, and Luo Zheng also looked calm, not afraid of his scrutinizing gaze at all.
Luo Zheng sneered, "Why not? Her plot to switch the princes has already been exposed. If she doesn't take a risk now, she will die. His Majesty will not forgive her."
Xu Maochun suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this... This matter has actually been exposed..."
As he spoke, he curiously asked Luo Zheng, "Can you tell me how this matter was exposed?"
Luo Zheng subconsciously thought of Xie Ying, and a gentle smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
But he said coldly, "This is not something you should know. Tell me everything you know now. This is your only chance. Otherwise, no one can save your children."
Xu Maochun laughed at himself. "I see. I thought they could keep it a secret, but who knew it would be exposed so quickly, and even implicate me. Anyway, don't you want to know? I'll tell you."
At the end of his words, he looked deeply at Bai Yuzhu.
Bai Yuzhu looked at him with complicated eyes.
But soon, she was taken out.
When she left, she couldn't help but look back at Xu Maochun, tears bursting out.
Bai Yuzhu knew that the time she and Xu Maochun had left was getting less and less. After parting this time, the next time they would see each other would probably be at the execution ground.
It's really heartbreaking. She's still so young, but her life is coming to an end.
If they had been less greedy at the beginning, they would have eloped away, stayed away from the conflicts of interest in the capital, and given up revenge.
Maybe they can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live a stable life.
Unfortunately, now that things have come to this, everything is impossible.
I just hope that in her next life, she can be smarter and not be a pawn in the hands of others. Not only will she live an unhappy life, but she will also bring trouble to her children.
Bai Yuzhu smiled bitterly.
She was sent back to the Ministry of Justice prison by the Black Kirin Guards.
Xu Maochun told everything he knew.
It turned out that he not only worked for the Chen family and Chen Fang, but also secretly worked for Queen Chen.
In fact, as early as seven years ago, he had secretly flattered Queen Chen, secretly found out Queen Chen's true life experience, and told her the truth.
That’s why everything happened later.
In order to take revenge on the Chen family, Empress Chen plotted to kill the "future crown prince" planned by the Chen family. She also secretly selected some young women to be trained, allowing them to get close to officials in the court and become their concubines or mistresses.
Use this to gain intelligence on these people.
Mei Qingchuan's concubine, Xu Yiyi, was chosen by Xu Maochun for Empress Chen. The medicines in her hands also came from Empress Chen.
When Mei Qingchuan insulted Concubine Jiang after drinking, it was Xu Yiyi who reported the secret.
But Xu Yiyi would never have thought that Mei Qingchuan would be exiled, and she, the concubine, would be implicated.
However, Xu Yiyi was able to escape early because of Xu Maochun's secret help.
Xu Maochun even pointed out a place for her, but this woman was very smart. She did not go there for refuge. Instead, she took Tao'er and fled to another place. Finally, she met Xie Xiu and switched Xie Xiu's daughter.
If Xu Yiyi's attempt at substitution had not failed and she had not been sent to the government by Xie Xiu, she would not have fallen into the hands of the Black Kirin Guards and ended up being tattooed and exiled.
When Luo Zheng heard Xu Maochun talking about Xu Yiyi, his fingers clenched involuntarily.
But he continued, "I suspect that Xie Yun's concubine is also Empress Chen's. When you arrest Xie Yun, why not investigate this woman?"
