The capital's prison!
"Empress Ye, His Majesty has granted you a piece of white silk, a cup of imperial wine, and a dagger. Please be on your way!"
Eunuch Cui brought several eunuchs to the prison. Three of them held a table, on which were placed a white collar, a cup of poisoned wine, and a dagger...
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to see me one last time?"
Ye Piaoling's heart was dead, and there was no longer the spirituality in his pupils.
As expected, Chen Changsheng had predicted everything!
Fortunately, my younger brother Ye Qing has already left the capital safely. Although I paid an unspeakable price, I have at least saved the Ye family from extinction...
"Please, Her Majesty, proceed with decorum!" Eunuch Cui said calmly.
The implication is very simple. If you don't want to leave in a respectable manner, then I can only help you...
"I understand... Please leave for now. I don't want others to see me looking so ugly!" Ye Piaoling's voice was filled with endless sorrow...
She and Li Yin had been childhood sweethearts. After growing up, she first served as the Crown Princess for several years, and then as the Queen for several years. They had always treated each other with respect...
She thought she could live happily like this for the rest of her life, but who knew...
It turns out that her happiness actually came from her father Ye Wuji!
When Ye Wuji died, happiness also left...
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will wait outside. It doesn't matter if we wait for a long time. But please don't let Your Majesty wait for too long..." Eunuch Cui chuckled.
After all, she is the queen!
You still have to give some face to this little request before you die!
"Get out!" Ye Piao Ling said coldly.
"Yes, my lady!"
Eunuch Cui was not angry and directly led the eunuchs out of the cell. The white silk, poisoned wine, and dagger were left in the cell...
"What a heartless person! He doesn't care about the relationship we've had for nearly ten years..."
"You're so heartless, but luckily... I did something wrong to you, so we're even now!"
"Father, I...I am unfilial and have failed to protect the Ye family..."
"My daughter has come to apologize to you!"
Ye Piao Ling said this, picked up the poisoned wine on the ground, and was about to drink it all...
Three feet of white silk, she doesn't want to choose!
Because, I heard that hanged ghosts always stick out their tongues, which is so ugly...
She didn't want to choose the dagger either, because she was afraid of the pain and worried that she didn't have the courage to slit her own throat...
Poisoned wine is the last choice and the best choice!
In the palace, many people of status, when they have to die, will choose to end their lives with a cup of poisoned wine!
“Pah…”
Ye Piaoling was about to drink the poisoned wine when a stone suddenly flew in from a distance and knocked over her wine glass...
"What a silly woman! Do you really want to die?" Chen Changsheng's voice appeared leisurely in the prison...
"It's you... me... what can I do if I don't die?" Ye Piao Ling said bitterly.
The emperor wants to sentence her to death, how can she survive?
"Of course I'm alive. Let's go to another place and live well!" Chen Changsheng said.
Chen Changsheng really couldn't bear to watch Ye Piaoling die. There were two reasons for this.
First, she is the queen, and second... well, she is very smooth...
"Eunuch Cui and the others are just outside. If I don't die, they will come over to help me die soon. Then, it will be even more painful..." Ye Piaoling shook his head.
As the queen, she has been in the palace for several years after all, and she is still very clear about many things in the palace.
The emperor has granted you the death penalty to save your life, and you must die!
Even if you don't want to be decent, there will be someone to help you be decent!
"I see that your body is full of true energy, and you should be at the fourth level of cultivation. I have a secret technique that can put you into a state of suspended animation, which even the imperial physician cannot detect!" Chen Changsheng said.
"The secret art of faking death? But they are waiting outside. This kind of secret art..." Ye Piaoling hesitated.
With a family background of profound learning and his father being a congenital master, Ye Piao Ling's strength was not weak at all, and he had reached the fourth rank of cultivation. However, practicing secret techniques was not always easy...
"Haha, don't worry, I'm here and I guarantee that you can complete your training within a cup of tea!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Are you serious?" Ye Piaoling's eyes lit up.
"Really!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Okay, help me!" Ye Piaoling took a deep breath.
Who wants to die when you can live?
Ye Piaoling doesn’t want to either!
Moreover, Li Yin's treatment of her like this made her heartbroken, and she was still thinking about how to get revenge...
"Conditions!" Chen Changsheng said lightly.
"You...at worst...I can accompany you one more time!" Ye Piao Ling's cheeks flushed slightly...
Let's be honest, I'll go through with it again. It's hard to say who's taking advantage and who's at a disadvantage...
At least for Ye Piaoling now, this is true...
After all, Ye Piao Ling is now nearly thirty years old. As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and fifty can sit on the ground and suck dirt...
Women also have needs, but their identity suppresses these needs!
"Haha, on the road... Come, I'll help you!"
Chen Changsheng smiled.
As for women, although Chen Changsheng was very lustful, he looked down upon the lecherous thief and Duan Zhengchun's promiscuous behavior...
What he wants to do is to be among the flowers without getting a single leaf on him...
Between each other, it is cooperation and transaction...
We both agree, and we each go our separate ways. This is the life Chen Changsheng is pursuing now...
Half an hour later, Eunuch Cui arrived at the cell with a few eunuchs. Looking at the empty wine glass and Ye Piaoling lying on the ground without a sound, he couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, we had no choice... We're sorry..."
As he spoke, Eunuch Cui stepped forward, first checking his breath, then gently feeling his pulse. Finally, he confirmed that Ye Piao Ling was indeed dead, and then returned to the palace to report...
—————————————
"Is she...really dead?" Li Yan's voice was a little hoarse...
After all, they've been married for nearly ten years, so it's impossible to say there's no affection between them...
However, for the sake of the Great Zhou royal family's foundation and the throne beneath his own ass, he had no choice but to do so...
"I checked it myself, there is no mistake!" said Eunuch Cui.
"Well, go ahead. Send someone... to the General's Mansion, dismiss the servants and guards, and confine Ye Qing to the Yeting Palace and hand him over to Empress Lin..."
"Ye Qing's biological mother is Queen Lin's aunt. Perhaps... considering this, I can still save his life. This is all I can do..." Li Yin waved his hand gently...
Ye Piaoling and Lin Wan'er had nothing to do with each other, but Ye Qing and Lin Wan'er were cousins with a blood relationship, just like Ye Piaoling and himself...
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there's some movement at 168 Changming Street, the place you asked us to monitor..."
"Hmm? Changming Street, No. 168? Chen Changsheng? He's back."
Suddenly, Li Yin stood up excitedly...
Now is the time to use people. If Chen Changsheng returns, perhaps he can do something for him...
After all, he had agreed to several of his conditions at the beginning!
