After rebirth, my sister always wants to be close to me

Liu Yunyan walked out of the palace and looked back. This was not a wealthy place on earth at all, but a cage that eats people.

Lin Xuanyu was standing in front waiting for her. When she saw someone coming, she hurried forward and said, "Yanyan, you finally came out."

"What's wrong?" Liu Yunyan looked at Lin Xuanyu's anxious expression, thinking something had happened.

"Yanyan, you'd better not go home for the time being. My grandparents are kneeling at your door right now. There are a lot of people watching, and I'm worried that they will embarrass you," Lin Xuanyu said urgently. Those two people were too difficult to deal with, and Liu Yunyan would easily suffer a loss if she faced them.

"Kneel at my doorstep?" Liu Yunyan was shocked. Is he trying to blackmail her morally?

"Lin Yuxuan is now imprisoned in the Sky Prison. We don't know when he will be beheaded. My grandparents have been begging people everywhere for help over the past half month, but even the Queen Mother can't do anything about what Lin Yuxuan did, let alone them? Now everyone is avoiding them. We have no choice but to ask you for help," Lin Xuanyu was speechless.

Liu Yunyan had basically been in the palace for the past half month, either secretly searching for the secret passage with Wuqi and the others, or playing in the Empress Dowager's palace. She had no idea what was happening outside.

"Lin Yuxuan has harmed so many innocent people, why hasn't he been beheaded yet?" She remembered the "Zhan Li Jue" that Yun Ting said at that time.

"My grandmother fell ill because of this incident, and my grandfather knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's Wanfu Palace for two days and two nights. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to find His Majesty and ask him to postpone the matter," Lin Xuanyu was almost mad at her. The people in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion had become the rats crossing the street.

"The Queen Mother is confused. What Lin Yuxuan did has already angered the public. Originally, immediate execution could have stabilized the people's hearts. But now that the news of postponing the execution has been announced, families with daughters will feel the same way. I'm afraid the people's hearts will be unstable," Liu Yunyan said with some concern.

The imperial power is supreme and the people dare not act rashly. Once someone has a different mind, it may become a fuse and go against the will of the people.

"The Queen Mother and Grandfather are siblings after all. How could they watch their brother die before him?" Lin Xuanyu naturally thought of this, but felt helpless as she could do nothing.

"Even if they kneel at the door now, it will be useless. Lin Yuxuan has no chance of survival," Liu Yunyan looked into the distance, "The emperor will not let the Duke of the Guardian go just like that."

"Then what do we need to do now?" Lin Xuanyu didn't know what to do for a moment. No matter how much he disliked them, they were still his family.

"Let's wait and see," Liu Yunyan had already made up her mind and did not tell Lin Xuanyu about her plan.

Jingzhao Yin conducted a thorough investigation into the Lin Yuxuan case and unexpectedly found nearly two hundred female corpses in the Huguogong Mansion. For a time, the public was outraged and the people spontaneously gathered at the palace gate, demanding the execution of Lin Yuxuan.

"How much did you say just now?" Liu Yunyan jumped up from her chair, stunned by the number.

"The Jingzhao Yin found the bodies of nearly two hundred women in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, all of which were hidden in the underground ice cellar. A lot of bone remains were salvaged from the bottom of the lake. According to the recollections of those servants, Lin Yuxuan did bring a lot of women into the mansion in recent years, but he never saw those women come out," Wuqi's hands were shaking when he said this. There were more than two hundred living people who died silently in the backyard of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

Liu Yunyan sat down slowly, fearing that the Duke of Protectorate's initial statement was problematic. "Does the Emperor have any new orders?"

"No," Wuqi shook his head. He wanted to rush into the Heavenly Prison and kill the man so that he could calm his anger.

"The people have done so much, but the palace has no reaction at all?" Liu Yunyan didn't believe that Yun Ting didn't take any action.

"The Duke of Protectorate and his wife, as well as their son and his wife, all knelt outside the imperial study early this morning. I'm afraid that Lin Yuxuan will be able to get out of the Sky Prison safely," Wuqi said anxiously.

"Oh, I see," Liu Yunyan tapped the table lightly with her fingers, thinking about a good strategy to deal with the situation.

"Miss," Wuqi wanted Liu Yunyan to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"You go down first."

"……Yes."

At the palace gate, most of the people in the capital gathered there. Liu Yunyan stood on the palace wall and watched from afar. Seeing that they all had angry expressions on their faces, she sighed silently.

"Your Highness, downstairs..." The soldiers guarding the palace gate also looked embarrassed. They received orders to drive away the common people, but they did not want to do so in their hearts. The behavior of the Prince of the Protectorate was worse than that of a beast. They themselves were children of the common people and could not be so conscienceless.

"Don't pay any attention to it, just guard your palace gate," Liu Yunyan ordered.

"Thank you princess."

Outside the imperial study, the four members of the Protectorate's family were all kneeling under the scorching sun.

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to make your uncle childless? He is already old. How can he live if you kill his grandson?" The Queen Mother said to Yun Ting who was sitting in front of the table with heartache.

"Mother, you have seen what Lin Yuxuan did. If I let him go, how can I be worthy of the people of this city?" Yun Ting was confused.

"I know that what Lin Yuxuan did was wrong, but he is your uncle's only grandson after all," the Queen Mother really couldn't bear to see her brother kneeling there with a head full of white hair.

"Mother, I have always believed that you are sensible and can distinguish right from wrong. Why are you so persistent on this matter? Now the people are outraged. If it is not handled properly, it will shake the foundation of the country." Yun Ting understood that he could not compromise on this matter.

"People's memories are short-lived. Who will remember this incident after this period of time?" The Queen Mother didn't understand why Yun Ting would not let go of such a simple matter.

Yun Ting knew that he could not persuade the Queen Mother, but he could not ignore her health either, so he was caught in a dilemma.

When the murder and robbery were taking place on a dark and windy night, the guards were dozing off and a figure appeared in the prison.

Although Lin Yuxuan had the protection of the Duke of Protectorate, he was severely beaten by the jailers in the prison because of the despicable things he had done. Therefore, he did not dare to fall asleep even late at night.

He opened his eyes immediately after hearing the door open. Seeing the person in black, he asked in fear, "Who are you?"

"The people who came to kill you."

"Do you know who I am? You won't be happy even if I die."

The man in black snorted coldly, "You will never have the chance to see whether I am doing well or not, and you will definitely not be doing any better than me."

Lin Yuxuan was really scared and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Don't kill me, I can give you anything you want. Do you want money? I have a lot of money. As long as you don't kill me, I can give you any amount of money."

"You still have a chance to beg for mercy, but those girls you killed don't have this chance," the man in black said coldly.

Without further ado, a sword pierced his body. Lin Yuxuan's eyes widened, unable to believe that he would die like this, and his body fell straight backwards.

The man in black pushed his body away like he was kicking trash and disappeared into the prison.
