Chapter 440: Not Dead
Yun Wanying was embroidering at home. She was very nervous. She had heard that the Empress Dowager was hit by a Buddha statue.
The concubine and the crown prince of Qi were also whipped and driven outside the Great Wall to herd sheep.
It seems that Chu Li's child was not harmed, and Chu Li should not find her.
After all, the handwriting was not from her, so it couldn't be blamed on her.
"Miss, it's bad, someone is breaking in!" the guard reported.
Yun Wanying frowned, "Who is it? Didn't you tell them that I'm the niece of Bai Zhenyuan and Mu Nanzhi?"
"But, she, she, she, can't be stopped!"
"Whoever dares to barge in, I will... take this lady to see who it is!"
After all, she had been a female official in the court and knew some officials in the court. Who would dare to bully her?
"Miss Yun, you have such great authority." A cold female voice came.
Yun Wanying's expression suddenly changed.
Chu Li actually came over. She felt a chill down her spine and tried hard to control her expression as she saw Chu Li step over the threshold.
Chu Li was dressed in white and had an elegant make-up. Her appearance and temperament were like the Queen Mother of the West, which made her lose her mind in an instant.
Chu Li looks so good in women's clothing!
Before she could recover from Chu Li's beauty, she was slapped hard on the face.
Chu Li raised his hand and slapped Yun Wanying's face, causing the corner of her lips to bleed and her body to hit the table.
"Do you know why I hit you?"
Yun Wanying held onto the table and nodded, "I know."
Snapped!
Another slap, Chu Li slapped her in the face again. Yun Wanying actually wanted to kill her child, damn it!
This slap knocked Yun Wanying to the ground, and she wanted to get up.
"You don't even kneel when you see His Majesty." Huanyan kicked her in the knee, and Yun Wanying's knee hit the ground hard.
She felt like all the bones in her body were about to break. None of the maids and guards outside the door dared to say a word, and they all knelt on the ground.
Chu Li pulled out the dagger he carried with him, lifted her chin with the dagger, and scratched her skin.
Yun Wanying's body twitched in pain, and only after meeting Chu Li's oppressive gaze did she feel scared.
"Your Majesty, please kill me. There is nothing left for me to linger on in this world."
Ye Hanting is already dead. She is not loved by her father and mother in this world, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about. It is better for her to go to the underworld and accompany him.
Chu Li curled his lips and whispered in her ear, "Ye Hanting is not dead. Our family of four will live happily together. If you want to die, die quickly."
Yun Wanying opened her eyes wide and looked at Chu Li in disbelief. Ye Hanting was not dead.
Then why did she spread the news of Ye Hanting's death?
"Have you heard that the new emperor of Daxia, Ling, has ascended the throne?" Chu Li's voice pierced Yun Wanying's heart like a dagger.
Ye Hanting's real identity turned out to be Jun Ling, the newly enthroned emperor of Daxia.
With the powerful Great Xia Kingdom as his backing, who will Chu Li be afraid of in the future?
No wonder she dared to get rid of the Empress Dowager.
So what if she met Ye Hanting first, she still lost miserably in the end.
The imperial guards came over with two guards and a maid.
Yun Wanying suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Chu Li must have known that she had committed murder.
"Yun Wanying, you had bad intentions at the beginning and wanted to frame Ye Hanting, but you failed and lost your virginity to Ji Xueying. How did Ji Xueying's junior brother die? You killed him to silence him. I will know it as long as I do a little research."
Yun Wanying felt her whole body tremble when she heard Ji Xueying's name. She covered her ears and cried, "Please stop talking."
Chu Li said coldly: "Ye Hanting has already repaid the favors he owed to the Bai family. She doesn't owe you anything. Kill her and pay her with her life. Take her away and hand her over to Zhang Zhilong. Sentence her according to the law."
Yun Wanying was dragged out like a dead dog.
It was not until she was taken into the prison car by the imperial guards that she began to be afraid.
Her pale face was bloodless as she listened to the pointing and talking of passers-by.
She was once the most talented woman in Jiangnan with a proud character, but now she has fallen to the point of being a prisoner.
To kill someone, one must pay with his life. Does that mean beheading?
Yun Wanying is extremely desperate. Who can come and save her?
......
Chu Li returned to the palace and saw Princess Huangfu Qingran crying and lying beside Pei Ye's bed.
Her mother, Princess Qiongying, the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager, also came.
She had just finished visiting the Empress Dowager and came over wiping her tears when she saw Chu Li.
"Chu Chu, you have such a cruel heart!" Princess Qiongying's face was gloomy.
Huangfu Qingran heard that Chu Li was also there, so he ran out quickly and scolded, "What did you do to Pei Ye!"
It turns out that she is Chuchu. When he was a child, Pei Ye only liked Chuchu and not her.
I didn't expect that I would still be like this when I grew up.
Pei Ye was injured like that, all because of her!
Chu Li said calmly, "You two, I don't have time to argue with you. The envoys from the neighboring country will be here soon. If you don't want to be laughed at, just keep making trouble here."
Princess Qingran cried heartbrokenly, "Chu Chu, you are a jinx. If you didn't die, your whole family would have died. You also harmed Brother Pei Ye..."
Chu Li tilted his head and looked at the two of them, "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I will kill you too!"
"Listen to what you are saying!" Princess Qiongying was about to explode with anger.
She acted like her aunt, "Then I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of your father!"
Mu Feng stopped the two of them and said, "Princess, princess, please respect yourselves, or I will have you thrown out."
"You!" The two men were so angry that they trembled all over and left the palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Princess Qiongying was so angry at Chu Li that she got a stitch in the side and bent over in pain.
Princess Qingran had been calming her mother down when suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the window.
"Mother, that person looks like the late queen."
Princess Qiongying looked in the direction of her daughter's finger, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
"is her!"
She quickly got off the carriage and walked quickly to the mother and son who were looking at fabrics in the shop.
"Royal sister-in-law?"
Hearing Princess Qiongying's voice, the beautiful woman turned around, pulled her son and walked out.
"Stop her!" Princess Qiongying looked at the man beside the late queen and was shocked. "You, you are Chu Li?"
The man looked at her gently, and Princess Qingran was also stunned. The real Crown Prince Chu Li and the late Queen were not dead!
The two were taken into the carriage.
Princess Qiongying asked in surprise: "You and your son are still alive, why did you pretend to be dead?"
The late queen said calmly, "Li'er has been weak since he was young, and someone in the palace wants to harm him. I had no choice but to live in seclusion with Li'er for many years. I just returned to the capital when I heard that His Majesty had passed away."
Princess Qiongying's eyes darkened and a plan came to her mind. It was Chuchu who harmed her mother like that. She must pay the price. She could not be the queen.
"Sister-in-law, please take the prince back to the palace. Chu Li is the real prince!"
The late queen declined politely, "No need, Chuchu did a great job, Li'er never fights or competes, I just hope he can live a peaceful life."
Princess Qiongying grabbed the late queen's hand and said, "How can this be allowed? The real prince is back, how can we allow the fake prince to take over our position?"
