“Good! Very good!”

Feng Yijin laughed angrily from above.

The atmosphere turned colder and colder.

Jian Si hurriedly kowtowed again as she said anxiously, “Your Majesty, this doesn’t prove anything! In fact, Prince Rui has long known that there were bandits outside the capital. However, that place was under Prince An’s control so it was not so easy for him to take action. Prince Rui hesitated for a long time. Thinking that the bandits would harm the commoners, he could no longer endure it so he decided to silently help Prince An and do something for the commoners! The list of names you saw actually belonged to Prince Rui’s informants. He wanted to place people from the Ministry of War with those bandits to subdue the bandits.”

Jian Si spoke for a long time, trying to turn things around.

Yu Yunxi, who was listening at the side, raised an eyebrow.

‘Jian Si’s brain really works fast enough when it comes to turning black into white… If she’d chosen the correct path, it’d be good. Alas, she decided to embark on the crooked path…

Finally, Yu Yunxi said, “So according to Miss Jian, Prince Rui did all these for the sake of the people, imperial court, and Prince An? Even capturing your sister and your parents was part of his plan?”

“This… His Royal Highness also didn’t expect Sister to go to the temple at that time. This was just an unfortunate coincidence. It can’t be blamed on His Royal Highness. What’s important is why did you suddenly appear at that place? You were even discovered by the bandits, angering them, and forcing them to kill so many people…” Jian Si said, trying to push the blame on Yu Yunxi again.

Yu Yunxi laughed. She looked at Jian Si meaningfully and said, “No wonder Prince Rui likes you. You’re just as shameless as he is…’

“You!”

Feng Weirui was infuriated by Yu Yunxi’s words. He raised his hand at her.

Feng Yili pulled Yu Yunxi back and said expressionlessly, “Prince Rui, you have to learn to keep your temper in check. Your Ninth Imperial Aunt is just talking casually. Why are you so angry?”

Yu Yunxi shrugged and said nonchalantly, “Since both of you insist you didn’t do anything wrong, I suppose we’ll have to get Princess Consort Rui to testify.”

‘Did Yu Yunxi damage her brain when she fell off the cliff? Eldest Sister is already dead!’ Jian Si sneered. However, it did not take long before she could no longer smile. Her expression changed and her body trembled when she saw the person walking into the hall. She retreated in fear.

Feng Weirui was not any better. He looked at the figure fearfully.

Jian Xin walked in step by step, supported by Qian Jiao.

Yu Yunxi’s eyes reddened when she saw this.

‘Fortunately, Jian Xin is still alive…’

This was also the good news Jiang Ying was referring to.

Yesterday, at the bandit’s nest, several kinds of residual poison in Jian Xin’s body acted up, creating symptoms that mimicked death.

Yu Yunxi was overwhelmed by her sorrow at that time that she failed to notice this.

Fortunately, Qian Qing did not give up. When she brought Jian Xin back, she quickly asked a doctor to look at Jian Xin.

However, Yu Yunxi’s expression soon turned solemn when she looked at Jian Xin’s flat stomach. Although Jian Xin was saved, the child could not be saved. When Jian Xin sensed Yu Yunxi’s gaze, she looked over and shook her head gently.

‘It’s alright… Perhaps I have no fate with that child… Perhaps it’s also a good thing that the child didn’t come into this world and face his useless father. Hopefully, he’ll be reborn into a good family…’

Thinking of this, Jian Xin clenched her hands. She raised her head and glared at Feng Weirui with hate-filled eyes. She walked to the front and kneeled down heavily as she said, “Jian Xin greets Imperial Father.”

“Didn’t they say that you…” Feng Yijin’s expression was dark.

“I almost died, but fortunately, heaven is good and saved my life to testify against those evil-doers!” Jian Xin said as she kowtowed. Her forehead was red, but she continued to kowtow as though she did not feel any pain as she continued to say in a trembling voice, “Please help me, Imperial Father. Please give justice to my lost child and the Jian family!”

“Jian Xin, are you done messing around? Go back quickly! Don’t make a fuss and trouble Imperial Father!” Feng Weirui said, flustered. He made a move to pull Jian Xin up.

“Let her go,” Feng Yijin said, knocking on the table.

Jian Xin took a deep breath and continued to say loudly, “A year ago, His Royal Highness and my Third Sister developed feelings and met privately many times. I’m not blind so I naturally knew these things. Every time I return to the Jian family, I’d see Father and Mother’s expectant gazes so I held back and didn’t say anything. I thought to myself that if His Royal Highness really liked my third sister, he could marry her. After all, I’m not a jealous wife. After all, we were married for so many years, and I’d never objected to any of the women he brought home.”

“Recently, there were rumors that His Royal Highness intended to make a woman from a brothel his concubine and that I was angry that I almost miscarried. However, is that really the truth?” Jian Xin said as tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Yu Yunxi wanted to step forward to comfort Jian Xin, but when she saw Jian Xin’s straight back, she held back.

‘One can only overcome such pain by facing it…’

“His Royal Highness seemed like he was meeting women in the brothel, but he was actually using that as a coverup to secretly meet my sister.”

“Sister, stop it! Stop speaking!” Jian Xin shouted, covering her ears. She did not expect that her sister really knew everything.

Jian Xin, who used to love Jian Si, only looked at Jian Si coldly at this moment. She could barely conceal the hate in her eyes as she said, “Since you have the guts to do such dirty things, why are you afraid of people hearing about them? The reason I had a miscarriage wasn’t not only due to the discovery of your affair. It’s also because you poisoned me! When you did these things, have you ever thought about the fact that I’m your elder sister?”

“Eldest Sister, His Royal Highess doesn’t love you! The child would suffer if he or she was born. I was only helping you!” Jian Si said stubbornly.

Pa!

Jian Xin rose to her feet and slapped Jian Sit s face fiercely.

‘She hit me?! She loved me the most in the past! How could she bear to hit me?’

Jian Si covered her cheek and looked at Jian Xin in shock and disbelief.

Jian Xin looked at Jian Si coldly as she said, “If I had known you were so vicious, I wouldn’t have protected you. Even animals are better than you!”

Jian Si and Feng Weirui still wanted to argue, but Feng Yijin had grown impatient.

Feng Yijin ordered frostily, “Lin De, draft the decree for me now! Jian Si is extremely vicious so she’ll be beheaded three days later at noon at Meridian Gate. Prince Rui is incompetent and has no virtue.. He’ll be demoted to a commoner!”
