Lady Xie was wearing a light blue dress and kneeling in the main hall of Fengwu Palace, letting her hair fall and her cheeks bleed, not daring to say a word.

“I really don’t understand how Concubine Xie did her job and why she failed so miserably.” The Queen spoke coldly and glared at him angrily.

Only the Queen's confidants were left in Fengwu Palace, and all the other eunuchs and palace maids were evacuated.

"It is my fault that I failed to do my job well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will definitely get it done next time. Please give me another chance."

Lady Xie's face was covered with tears, her forehead touched the floor, she looked extremely humble.

"You are more likely to cause trouble than to help. Do you still want to do it again? I asked you to find a way to destroy his face, but you failed. I even personally gave him poison so that he would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. What happened? Not only did he not get poisoned, he even took the initiative to come to the palace to ask to see the emperor!"

Thinking of this, the queen felt a little scared.

Fortunately, the emperor did not summon Xie Lin, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The Queen threw the apple at hand, hitting Concubine Xie on the head, causing one side of her hair to fall down. Concubine Xie not only did not dare to dodge, but also did not dare to adjust her hair.

In order to protect herself, Concubine Xie thought very quickly: "Queen, calm down. As the saying goes, the world is so big that nothing is impossible. There are people in the world who look similar but are not related by blood. In my opinion, instead of destroying Xie Lin, it is better to let him exist. Actions will always leave traces. Letting nature take its course is just a miracle in the world."

The Queen said sternly: "He can be like anyone, but not like my prince!"

If she had known this would happen, she should not have let Xie Lin survive.

The queen stood up from the couch and walked to Concubine Xie.

“I gave him chances time and again. First, I let him live, but I took away his health. Then, I wanted to keep him alive, but I took away his appearance. Even today, I still want to keep him alive, but I want him to sleep forever.

"But he didn't cherish the opportunity I gave him. Not only did he not fall into sleep forever, he even dared to take the initiative to ask for an audience with the emperor. He is seeking death! In this case - I will grant his wish and let him die! Thank you, my noble lady, this is your last chance, otherwise you will be the one to die!"

Concubine Xie shuddered all over: "My Queen, I will do my best."

"If you don't try your best, the Xie family behind you will be exterminated because of you. You should know how to choose between sacrificing Xie Lin's life and sacrificing the lives of the entire family."

"Yes, Queen."

……

Chu Heyi returned to the main gate of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion and asked Chu Ren suspiciously, "Fourth brother, why didn't Second Mother and the others go out to greet us?"

Logically speaking, since she had caused such a big incident, Er Niang and the others would definitely be very worried and would definitely be waiting for her to return safely at the door.

Now there is no sign of Er Niang and her sisters.

Chu Ren comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe something delayed you."

The brother and sister got off the carriage one after another. The housekeeper in the yard heard the noise, came forward and greeted Chu Heyi and Chu Ren.

Chu Heyi asked, "Where are the Second Madam and the others?"

The whole yard was unusually quiet.

The housekeeper said, "At 3 p.m., the third wife of the Prime Minister's residence came to visit, and the second wife was entertaining the guests in the backyard."

The Third Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion...

Isn’t it Zheng Zhixue’s mother Zheng Luo?

Zheng Zhixue's father was the third child, so people called his mother the Third Lady.

Chu Heyi asked hurriedly: "It's so late now, and the Third Madam hasn't left yet? Has the meal been served?"

The housekeeper said, "After hearing the news that the young lady was digging iron ore privately, we were all very worried... The Second Madam has not sent any food yet, perhaps because she is too worried about the young lady."

Chu Heyi felt bad. The third wife of the Zheng family, Luo, must have believed that the entire Zhenbei Marquis family would be executed, so she came here deliberately to abuse her second mother and other sisters.

Chu Heyi snatched his bow and arrow from Baihua and ran towards the second lady's yard.

"Sister, wait for me!" Chu Ren chased after her.

"In the past, Second Mother had a good relationship with the Third Madam of the Zheng family. Did the Third Madam come to comfort Second Mother after learning about our family's misfortune? If so, we can feel more at ease and don't have to worry about Second Mother being frightened alone at home... Why are you so anxious?"

Chu Heyi kept walking. Even when Chu Ren was talking to her, she ran very fast. She didn't see any sisters along the way, which made her even more panicked.

Chu Heyi briefly explained the situation between A'man, Ye Taoer and Zheng Zhixue.

After hearing this, Chu Ren's face turned bad: "So, the Third Madam of the Zheng family is holding a grudge and deliberately chose this time to come and deal with Second Madam and the others?"

"I thought so!"

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was very large. The brother and sister ran a long distance and found that Er Niang's yard was still very far away.

Fortunately, they are all descendants of military families. Although Chu Heyi is a woman, she has never interrupted her training since her rebirth, so the two of them did not even breathe hard while running all the way here.

The gate of Jiucuixuan was closed.

The yard was brightly lit, but it was precisely because of this that the silence in the yard seemed so strange.

Chu Ren and Chu Heyi looked at each other.

Dozens of guards arrived behind them. The brother and sister stepped aside and the guards broke down the gate.

"Who dares to trespass here!" In the yard, more than a dozen guards were on high alert, and the one who spoke to them was the captain of the guards.

After asking, the captain of the guards saw Chu Ren and Chu Heyi's faces clearly. He immediately gasped, the blood drained from his face, and he was stunned and speechless.

"I should be the one asking you this! This is the backyard of my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, why are you here!" Chu Heyi's eyes were sharp and he held the bow and arrow tightly.

Chu Heyi estimated the distance. It was too close to draw the longbow, but she still raised one end of the bow and aimed at the other person's hand.

The other party immediately drew the sword from his waist.

The "war" between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.

The head guard slowly reacted and said, "Having learned that Miss Heyi has committed a heinous crime, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the entire Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, so my third wife has come here specially to comfort the second wife of Zhenbei Marquis."

"In that case, you can call out your Third Madam and let her see if I, Chu Heyi, have committed a heinous crime, and whether the entire Zhenbei Marquisate will be executed!"

Chu Heyi pressed forward, and Chu Ren and the guards stood behind her.

It's really strange that the third wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion could bring dozens of guards into their second mother's Jiucuixuan.

Were the guards of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion so weak? They didn't even notice it? What happened during this period?

"I will go and inform them, but please don't be so aggressive, it will not be good for the second lady and the young masters and young ladies in your house." said the captain of the guards.

A naked threat!

From his words, Chu Heyi was certain that her stepmother and sisters were in the room, and they were being subjected to unknown forms of abuse.

"This is my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Do I need you to notify them? Fourth brother, call them!" Chu Heyi couldn't bear it any longer for a moment!

The other party dared to come directly to the backyard of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to deal with her family. It was obvious that he believed that the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was about to be executed. That person came to "wipe out the family" in advance. Perhaps if he waited a little longer, one more person would be killed or injured.

Chu Ren waved his hand, and the guards behind him started fighting with the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with blood splattering and screams ringing out.

Three or five guards protected Chu Heyi and rushed through the crowd.
