Prince Xuan, his wife, and Yun Chuhuai were forced to kneel in the Jinluan Hall. When they saw the complaint letter, they were dumbfounded.
Gu Yihan sat on the dragon throne and propped his head up calmly, his handsome eyes suffused with a dangerous emotion.
“Prince Xuan, when my people found you, your family was packing up. Why? Is your family going on a long trip?
“Why didn’t you tell me so that I could send someone to send you guys off? You’re in such a hurry as if you want to escape.”
Prince Xuan was already trembling in fear and knocked his head heavily on the cold marble tiles.
He almost cried and begged for mercy. “Your Majesty, please spare my life! This subject has no intention of hiding from you. This subject really… had no choice!”
“Had no choice?” Gu Yihan sneered. “Which matter are you referring to? Was it about you deliberately sacrificing yourself to save me back then and deceiving me into trusting you?
“Or was it on how Ling Tianyin had asked the three of you to lie in ambush in Great Qi for many years and keep sending letters to the Xili Empire to inform them of Great Qi’s movements?”
Gu Yihan knocked on the table twice with his slender fingers.
His gaze was sharp, but his tone sounded relaxed. “No matter what it is, you should be cut into a thousand pieces. You guys know my rules very well. There’s no need to say anything else, right?”
“Your Majesty! Listen to this subject’s explanation!” Prince Xuan was agitated.
Yun Chuhuai even blurted out, “Your Majesty! This letter must have been written by Yun Linzhou. At this point, we won’t hide anything anymore.
“Yun Linzhou is the eldest son of the Xili Empire’s emperor Ling Tianyin, and the Empress!
“Apart from giving the order to abduct the little princess, Ling Tianyin also asked us to bring back this prince from the Great Qi.
“If nothing goes wrong, Yun Linzhou will definitely be the Xili Empire’s crown prince in the future!
“Your Majesty, please give me a chance to redeem myself. Although I’m from Xili, I’ve grown up in Great Qi for so many years and have long treated this place as my only hometown!
“I’m willing to personally lead troops to capture Yun Linzhou to vent Your Majesty’s hatred!”
After Yun Chuhuai finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily and sincerely.
He gritted his teeth secretly. Apart from fear for Gu Yihan, there was also hatred for Yun Linzhou in his eyes.
Yun Linzhou was indeed pretending to be crazy!
Apart from Yun Linzhou, who else knew their movements so clearly in this letter that was sent to Gu Yihan’s table?
Prince Xuan and his wife usually communicated in secret and never avoided him.
They thought that a fool wouldn’t understand, but they didn’t expect Yun Linzhou to be the person they should be the most wary of!
Now that he had run away by himself, he left a complaint letter about Prince Xuan and his family behind.
What a ruthless scheme!
Yun Chu gritted his teeth in hatred. He only regretted not finding an opportunity to kill Yun Linzhou back then.
When Gu Yihan heard Yun Chuhuai’s words, he raised his eyebrows and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he sneered.
“What are you going to use to negotiate with me? Do you think I’ll still believe your words at this point?
“There’s a saying, make up for your mistakes. But I don’t need it and don’t care for it.”
Gu Yihan stood up, his eyes deep and cold, filled with ruthlessness.
“I only know that it has something to do with you guys that Nuo’er was taken away. Your family of three knew about this matter but didn’t report it. You’re no longer worthy of my pardon and forgiveness.
“Therefore, it’s too late to make up for things. I only want you guys to die now.”
After Gu Yihan finished speaking, he raised his voice coldly. “Men, drag these three sinners who have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country! Skin them alive and scare the remaining lingering enemies!”
“Yes!” The imperial guards strode forward.
At the last moment before Prince Xuan, his wife, and Yun Chuhuai were dragged away, they were still begging for mercy.
However, Gu Yihan was unmoved.
He sat back behind the imperial table and narrowed his eyes slightly as he read Yun Linzhou’s letter.
“This kid is interesting.”
