After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Li Ziheng had quietly taken away Bai Yiyi's personal maid before arresting her. The maid confessed everything after being whipped a few times.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am afraid of Concubine Bai's tyranny and dare not disobey.

I really know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Bai Yiyi saw that the maid had sold her out completely, and she flew into a rage, "You slutty maid, how dare you slander me!"

How could the maid care about anything else when faced with life and death? She kowtowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am a servant and have no grudge against His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Why would I want to murder His Royal Highness Prince Chen?

It was because Concubine Bai wanted to win credit in front of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, so she ordered this servant to poison Prince Chen..."

“Shut up!” Prince Yu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shouted to stop him.

If he lets the maid continue talking, he will be implicated.

Emperor Hui'an's eyes were sharp and his tone was cold, "Prince Yu, is what she said true?"

Prince Yu knelt down immediately and said with great fear and trepidation, "Father, please understand that I have absolutely no hostility towards Prince Chen. Prince Chen has been living abroad for many years, and I am too late to compensate him. There must be a misunderstanding here."

Emperor Hui'an sneered, "Do you think you can trust such lies?"

Prince Yu clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Emperor Hui'an swept his eyes coldly across his face, and his murderous gaze fell on the trembling maid, "She dared to murder the prince. Come, drag her away and beat her to death!"

The maid was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Bai Yiyi looked at the maid who was dragged out. Her face turned pale and her body trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind.

"How can such a vicious woman be worthy of being a royal wife! Liu Ren, remove Bai from the royal jade record and demote her to a commoner!"

Bai Yiyi's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

She didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, she would suddenly end up back to her former state.

Fortunately, he saved his life and there will be another chance in the future.

But Emperor Hui'an said coldly: "Li Ziheng, take him away and execute him on the spot!"

"Your Majesty!" Bai Yiyi exclaimed.

She originally thought that Emperor Hui'an's demotion to a commoner was a severe punishment, but she didn't expect that he would also want her to be torn to pieces.

At this moment, she was completely frightened and looked to Prince Yu for help.

"My Lord, save me..."

"Father..."

Prince Yu was reluctant, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Emperor Hui'an coldly, "You can only choose between her and the throne, choose!"

Bai Yiyi looked at this man with pleading eyes, saying he loved her every day and who held her in the deepest part of his heart.

Prince Yu couldn't bear it, so he lowered his eyes and avoided her gaze.

Made the choice in silence.

The Royal Guards stepped forward to pull Bai Yiyi away. Bai Yiyi shouted at the top of her lungs, "My Lord, please save me. I am doing this for you. You can't just abandon me like this!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu hurriedly clarified his relationship with her, "Father, this woman must have lost her mind, you must not listen to her nonsense!"

The last thing Bai Yiyi heard before she was pulled out of the tent was this bone-chilling voice. This sentence shattered all her expectations and reliance.

She did all this to make his position more stable, but he treated her like a worn out shoe.

Everyone was horrified to see the concubine of a prince being beheaded in public, but they also understood more clearly the status of Prince Chen in Emperor Hui'an's heart from then on.

When Gu Jin heard that Bai Yiyi was killed, his eyes were indifferent.

Bai Yiyi brought this situation upon herself. If she hadn't discovered that Chen'er's tea was poisonous, he would be the one dead now!

This deep palace is far more dangerous than she imagined. Perhaps she should consider cooperating with the prince...
