"Come in and take a look." He let her in.
The palace maids and eunuchs were busy trying to put out the fire when they suddenly saw Imperial Concubine Wen arrive. They hurriedly put down the buckets. Kneeling on the ground, he said, "Greetings, Imperial Consort Wen."
But Imperial Concubine Wen ignored him and walked straight into the house.
The court lady and eunuch kneeled on the ground. "Imperial Concubine Wen, you cannot enter. This is the emperor's decree. No one is allowed to enter!"
But Imperial Concubine Wen didn't listen to him and prepared to open the door.
A palace maid stood in front of him and coldly said, "Imperial Concubine Wen, this is the emperor's decree. No one is allowed to enter!"
Yu Li looked at Ying Cai standing in front of her. She couldn't help but feel angry as she said fiercely, "Imperial Concubine, it was this girl who framed the empress and guards for adultery."
When Wen Hui heard this, he could not help but feel infuriated. How dare he, so brazenly, slapped him hard in the face. "Who do you think you are to dare block my way."
Because the concubines were all wearing armour. In addition to Wen Hui's great strength, he only drew a long line of blood on his colorful face.
Yu Li immediately felt relieved. In the past, when the empress was fine, one of the maidservants had not flattered her. Now that the empress was in trouble, each and every one of them had gone up to the sky and showed her every day.
Yu Li pushed Ying Cai away. "Scram! Do you even have the right to speak with Imperial Concubine here?"
Wen Hui just pushed the door open. He walked in with Yu Li.
Ying Cai was pushed down to the ground. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He quickly stood up. He ran outside.
"Sis, Sis, where are you?" Wen Hui looked at the damp and gloomy room and could not help but be scared. There was a burnt smell in the room.
Yu Li pointed at the room.
Wen Hui turned around and walked into the room. He saw a woman with no eyes. Her hair was messy and there were some traces of blood on her face. He gave her a fright. "Ah, you — you —"
Yu Li spoke up from behind her, "Imperial Concubine, she's the empress!"
When Wen Hui heard this, his eyes widened in shock.
When the empress heard someone enter and their conversation, she knew it was her sister. She wanted to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth. She could not understand what they were saying, so she stretched out her hand in excitement.
Seeing this scene, Wen Hui was so frightened that he wanted to retreat.
The empress was extremely excited as she moved about randomly, as if she wanted to climb out of the water. Not only her, but Yu Li who was behind her was also extremely frightened. Seeing that the empress was getting more and more excited, Yu Li pushed Wen Hui forward.
"Ah!" Wen Hui screamed as he was already right in front of him.
Looking at the empress's raised arm, she really didn't have the courage to take it.
Yu Li was afraid that the empress would notice something, so she gave her a meaningful glance.
Wen Hui was also afraid that she might do something, so he extended his hand and held the arm without a hand.
The Queen cried out in excitement. Ah, ah, ah! Tears welled up in his eyes. She felt wronged. She felt wronged. How did she become like this? Then she realized that the teacups from that day must have been exchanged. Xi Min must have been bribed by someone. It was Murong Yu'er! It was Murong Yu'er who harmed her! It was Murong Yu'er! The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became. In the end, she actually began to wail.
After all, they were blood-related sisters. When Wen Hui saw this, he couldn't help but ask, "Who caused my sister to do this?"
Yu Li also said with tears in her eyes, "It was Murong Yu'er who framed the empress and framed the empress and imperial guards for adultery. The emperor ordered the empress's eyes to be dug out, her hands and feet chopped off, and they were soaked in chili sauce every day. Every day, we eat things that pigs and dogs don't eat, and leftovers are given to us to eat. If the Empress doesn't eat, then they'll force it into her mouth, and this servant won't leave this palace! Then he began to cry again.
The empress also felt wronged and full of hatred. She could not hold Wen Hui's hand and could only shout out in an indescribable voice.
Wen Hui was shocked by their words. The Crown Princess had framed them, and she was talking about the Emperor. The Emperor had always been good to her and had pampered her, so how could he do such a thing?
"Your majesty, he's very nice, how could he —"
When he heard Wen Hui speak up for the Emperor, the hatred in his heart surged and he roared even louder.
Wen Hui took two steps back in fear.
The Queen continued to spew chili concoction.
Yu Li knew the empress's emotions were stirred up. "Imperial Concubine Wen, think about it for yourself. If it wasn't for the emperor, who would dare treat the empress like this?" If it wasn't for the Emperor's orders. Who would dare to dig away the empress's eyes and chop off her hands and feet?
The empress was shouting 'ah ah'.
Yu Li added on, "Hui Hui, please let me call you that. I've watched you two grow up since childhood, and you two sisters have a deep affection for each other. You don't want to see the empress act this way, right? You have to avenge the empress!"
The empress's loud voice quieted. Hearing Wen Hui's reply.
Wen Hui looked at his sister. Even if she didn't want to agree, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She was scared. If she said no, her sister would just crawl out of the bucket. The empress didn't speak for a long time, and her expression began to change.
Wen Hui quickly said, "I will definitely help you."
It was only then that the empress smiled, a smile that startled everyone.
Wen Hui really didn't want to stay here for another second. Thus, she hurriedly said, "Sis, I need to leave quickly. I'm afraid that when the news spreads to the emperor's ears, things won't be good. I'll definitely avenge you." With that, he quickly escaped without even looking at the empress.
Wen Hui ran out as if he was escaping and almost tripped over. Seeing Wen Hui act like this, Yu Li could not control herself either. Not to mention her, even she herself was so scared that she wanted to run away. When they left the room, Wen Hui looked at the people in the room and said, "Whoever dares to speak of what happened today, I will execute their entire clan. If you have the guts to complain to the emperor, then consider it yourself. After which, he quickly left. He didn't dare to stop even a single step.
As for Murong Yu'er, she had already received the message a long time ago. Looking at Ying Cai's wounded face, she knew that something must have happened.
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess, Imperial Consort Wen has gone to the empress's room!"
Murong Yu'er thought for a while.
Ying Cai said, "Crown Princess, do you want to tell the king now?"
"It's useless. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to cure her. She's crying for a bit, and instead, the emperor thinks she's pitiful. He's too ruthless, and he'll love her even more in the future. Just pretend that it never happened. Watch them carefully. If they have any news, come and tell me." With that, he looked at the wound on her face and took out a bottle of ointment.
"Take this and wipe it!"
"Yes, thank you, Crown Princess." After saying that, he quickly walked out.
Hearing her words, Yu Haiwei nodded his head, "But, are we going to bypass her this easily?"
Murong Yu'er smiled, "Of course not. Do you think she would be so indifferent when she knows about her own elder sister? We'll just have to wait. She'll make her move soon. "
He then smiled triumphantly at Yu Haiwei.
Yu Haiwei looked at her and smiled gently.
The smile on Murong Yu'er's lips became colder and colder. First, I'll pull out all of you weeds, and then I'll deal with those people that hurt me. Huyan Xue'er? I haven't forgotten you for a moment! Once these people are done, I will treat you well. When he thought of the look in her eyes, he became even deeper.
Wen Hui finally stopped after running for a long time, as if there was a ghost chasing after her. She had seen all kinds of gentle and beautiful things since she was young, but this was the first time she saw such a terrifying and bloody thing. When she thought about how the Emperor, whom she loved dearly every day, was actually so vicious, she felt fear and not cold at all.
Huyan Zi was walking around in a bored manner, and almost no one in the palace was willing to bother with him. Ever since the incident with the empress, it seemed as if everyone in the palace was looking at him like he was a piece of dog shit. Although the news was sealed, the palace was not a secret. Everyone knew about it. He was a prince of the Southern Kingdom, so what sort of things were bad? When was it possible for someone else to curry favor with him? When had he ever encountered such a thing? Why was he always so annoyed when he suddenly saw a woman sitting by a river, thinking about something? Although it was just a view of his back, his eyes immediately lit up. This was definitely a rare beauty.
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and walked over. "Miss, what are you thinking about?"
Wen Hui was shocked. He stood up and asked, "Who are you?"
One shouldn't blame Huyan Zi for not being able to recognize her. Everyone was wearing a lot of clothes during the winter. In addition, she was dressed exceptionally flirtatiously and wore very little. She was truly out of the ordinary.
Huyan Zi revealed a smile that he thought was the most perfect as he said, "My name is Huyan Zi, I'm the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom."
"Oh? You are the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom? Wen Hui's eyes also lit up. Not only was this person handsome, he was also the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom.
"Yes, the girl looks familiar. I think I saw it there. " Huyan Zi looked at Wen Hui's appearance and started to think.
Wen Hui pursed his lips and smiled. "When have I ever seen you?"
Huyan Zi looked at her smile and suddenly remembered, "You are that girl from the Ice River that day."
Wen Hui's eyes lit up. "So you were also here that day!"
Huyan Zi became excited, "Later on, I kept asking about you, and only then did I find out that you are the Prime Minister's daughter."
Wen Hui was also excited for a moment.
