Yu Yunxi turned around and saw Yu Wanrong and two men in black. She quickly rose to her feet, and her expression was cold as she looked at Yu Wanrong warily.
"The stone door of the Imperial Mausoleum really isn't easy to open. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's advice, I wouldn't have been able to enter," Yu Wanrong said provocatively as she strode toward Yu Yunxi.
"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you came to reminisce about the past," Yu Yunxi said. She could barely hide her hatred at this moment. When she looked at Yu Wanrong, she was reminded of her nanny who was killed.
"What do you think I came here for? Obviously, I came to see if my sister is dead," Yu Wanrong covered her mouth and laughed before she replied, "I told Nanny Liu to take 'good care' of you, but you still have the strength to speak. I'm really disappointed."
"You really colluded with Nanny Liu. So, did you also kill my nanny?" Yu Yunxi asked in a trembling voice as she suppressed the urge to tear Yu Wanrong apart.
Yu Wanrong sneered and said nonchalantly, "That's right. That old woman knew she was your weakness so she wanted to escape. I tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen so I got someone to slit her throat."
Yu Wanrong spoke as though human life was not even worth an ant in her eyes. It was clear through her relaxed and smug attitude.
Yu Yunxi's heart ached so much that she could barely breathe at this moment.
'Why is Nanny so foolish…'
Finally, Yu Yunxi asked coldly, "Yu Wanrong, you colluded with Nanny Liu. Have you thought that you'd implicate the Prime Minister's Residence?"
"I don't care. I want you to die," Yu Wanrong said as her smile vanished abruptly. Then, as though she had gone mad, she screamed, "Do you know how long I've admired the Crown Prince? He's mine! However, he actually said that he wanted to marry you as his side consort!"
Yu Wanrong stared at Yu Yunxi as she muttered to herself, "It's all because of that warm jade! That day, the Crown Prince asked me for that warm jade so I went to look for Mother. Who knew Mother would say that the warm jade had been given to you? When he heard that, he followed us to the Prince Regent's Residence… B*tch, you're really scheming! You obviously knew that he wanted that warm jade so you deliberately took it back! Tell me, are you going to use it to take away my position as the Crown Princess?!"
Yu Wanrong pounced over without warning, intending to scratch Yu Yunxi's face.
Fortunately, Yu Yunxi was able to avoid it,
Unable to hurt Yu Yunxi, Yu Wanrong grew even crazier. She smiled maniacally as she asked, "Sister, can you give me the warm jade? I'll spare your life."
"In your dreams!" Yu Yunxi refused without hesitation.
"Ha, you really like to act tough." Yu Wanrong smiled sinisterly before she looked at the two men in black meaningfully.
The two men quickly strode over. In just a short moment, they caught Yu Yunxi. They pried her mouth open and stuffed something inside.
Yu Yunxi fell to the ground and launched into a violent coughing fit, trying to induce vomit.
"It's useless. The efficacy of that medicine is very strong," Yu Wanrong said with a sneer.
"What did you feed me?" Yu Yunxi asked furiously.
Yu Wanrong looked at her nails and said disinterestedly, "You'll find out later."
It did not take long before Yu Yunxi figured out what kind of medicine it was. Her face was flushed red, and her body was curled up as she lay on the ground. She looked extremely pathetic at this moment.
Yu Wanrong walked over and looked down at Yu Yunxi as she said viciously, "Speak. Where's the warm jade? If you don't tell me, I'll let these two men have their way with you."
"In your dreams!"
Yu Yunxi's mind was already growing muddled at this point. She bit her tongue; the pain and blood helped her to regain a little clarity.
"Both you and your mother are really tough," Yu Wanrong said, slightly angry.
Yu Yunxi raised her head with great difficulty and asked, "Your mother also used this method to deal with my mother back then, right?"
"That's right. The reason why thousands of people point their fingers at her is all because of my mother! And you, Yu Yunxu, will follow in her footsteps," Yu Wanrong said as she bent down and lifted Yu Yunxi's chin, smiling darkly.
'So what if you're good-looking? In the end, you still have to die in my hands…'
Finally, Yu Wanrong straightened her back. She walked to the side and clapped her hands.
The two men rushed over. They could not wait to take off Yu Yunxi's clothes.
Yu Wanrong stood in the corner, facing the wall. She waited to hear Yu Yunxi's humiliating cries and pleas. However, after waiting for a long time, she did not hear anything. Instead, she heard the two men cry out in pain. She frowned and quickly turned around. She discovered the two men lying on the ground in a pool of blood with their throats slit.
Yu Yunxi rose to her feet with a hairpin in her hand. Her face was stained by the men's blood, and her eyes burned with hatred and killing intent.
Yu Wanrong's expression changed drastically as she watched Yu Yunxi walking over step by step. She hastily retreated, and her voice grew weaker and weaker as she said, "Sister, calm down. I was just joking with you."
However, Yu Yunxi did not intend to listen to Yu Wanrong at all. Instead, she quickened her pace. When she was in front of Yu Wanrong, she raised her hand to stab Yu Wanrong. Alas, before her hand fell, the medicine kicked in. Her body softened, causing her to stumble.
Yu Wanrong seized the opportunity and quickly picked up something on the ground and threw it at Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi's eyes glinted coldly as she dodged to the side. She rushed toward Yu Wanrong, and in just a moment, the two of them started fighting.
"My face! My face! No!" Yu Wanrong shrieked. She touched her cheek and found that her fingers were stained with blood. A hideous and bloody scar was imprinted across her cheek.
Yu Wanrong was most proud of her appearance, but now, it had been ruined by Yu Yunxi. Anger spurred her forward, and she pounced on Yu Yunxi like a mad woman, intending to return the favor.
However, Yu Yunxi had been abused by the servants of the Prime Minister's Residence since she was young. She had fought countless times. It was only natural that Yu Wanrong, a pampered young lady, could barely hurt her.
In just a short moment, Yu Wanrong was riddled with injuries. She trembled. This was the first time her eyes were filled with fear when she looked at Yu Yunxi.
'This b*tch is like a malicious ghost!'
Finally, Yu Wanrong found a chance and crawled toward the entrance.
Yu Yunxi wanted to chase after Yu Wanrong to avenge her mother and her nanny, but she had already exhausted all of her strength at this point.
When Yu Wanrong reached the entrance, she turned around and said through gritted teeth, "B*tch, don't be too pleased with yourself. The medicine is extremely strong. If you can't find a man within two hours, you'll definitely die."
With that, Yu Wanrong got up and stumbled away.
Yu Yunxi spat out a mouthful of blood. She knew Yu Wanrong was not lying. However, how was she going to find a man in two hours?
Suddenly, her eyes landed on the coffin. She quickly walked over and climbed into the coffin. The Cold Jade Coffin was not small after all.
She said with a sigh, "You're my husband after all. It should be okay for you to save my life, right?"
Yu Yunxi was naturally reluctant about trading her virginity to detoxify the poison, but since the other party was her husband, it was not too difficult to accept the fact.
…
After an unknown period of time, Yu Yunxi finally climbed out of the Cold Jade Coffin with great difficulty. Her clothes were disheveled, and she looked exhausted.
'Damn it, it was really painful!'
After a while, Yu Yunxi said to the person in the coffin, "Wait for me. I'm going to find Jiang Ying to save you."
Yu Yunxi knew it was impossible for her to drag Feng Yili away with her now. She had to find someone to bring him away.
She dragged her exhausted body out of the Imperial Mausoleum through the hole that Yu Wanrong's men had pried open. Unexpectedly, she discovered assassins lying in wait as soon as she came out.
"The young miss said to kill Yu Yunxi as soon as we see her!"
One of them rushed toward Yu Yunxi with a sword in hand.
'Young miss? It must be Yu Wanrong.'
Yu Yunxi smiled bitterly. Her body could no longer hold on, and she fell to the ground. It seemed like this time she was truly going to be killed by Yu Wanrong.
However, before Yu Yunxi fainted, she saw a group of men dressed in green appear. Then, she saw a sword pierced through the assassin's chest.
"Quick, save the master!"
These were the last words Yu Yunxi heard before she fainted.
