The wind blew from afar, carrying the smell of rust.

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi looked outside and saw dozens of guards standing in the yard, like a solid wall, not allowing anyone from the Xie family to enter Xifang's territory.

Even the dowry that Chu Heyi brought from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, such as Nanny Rui, Baihua, Xianyue and others, were now isolated and kept far away by the guards.

They knelt in an orderly manner in the yard, kneeling under the swords of the guards. The atmosphere was solemn and murderous. Almost everyone knew that something big had happened, but no one dared to speak. They all held their breath and concentrated.

Even the youngest child had his mouth covered by the nurse to prevent him from making any sound.

In the bridal chamber, Xie Lin and Chu Heyi were still holding hands. There was a threshold between them and Yin Shao.

Behind Yin Shao, there followed a eunuch holding a tray with two glasses of wine on it.

Behind the eunuch stood four guards, their swords drawn, ready to fight at any time.

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi's eyes instantly met Yin Shao's, like ice meeting a cold arrow, and no one avoided it.

Xie Lin said, "Today is the wedding day of He Yi and I. It seems that Lord Yin is not here to attend the wedding?"

Yin Shao pursed his lips, and after a moment he said, "The prince was murdered in Xie's mansion, and his body has been sent back to the palace. Does Lord Xie know about this?"

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi frowned slightly, and then Xie Lin said, "It's not hard to guess."

When Dongfang Ye was about to leave, he had already told him that there would be danger and offered to escort Dongfang Ye back to the palace, but Dongfang Ye refused.

Although he sent secret guards to follow Dongfang Ye and protect Dongfang Ye's safety at all times, today is also his wedding day with Chu Heyi. This opportunity only comes once in a person's life. He cannot abandon their marriage and Chu Heyi for the sake of Dongfang Ye's safety.

Besides, it’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.

He has done his best for Dongfang Ye.

If Dongfang Ye is unable to protect himself, his death is inevitable.

Just as his life experience will be exposed sooner or later, it can't be stopped anymore, so all he can do is let it be exposed.

Yin Shao picked up a glass of wine from the tray, his face expressionless. "The death of the crown prince is one thing, but Lord Xie and the crown prince are twins, which is another. The emperor is furious, and the queen has been deposed and banished to the cold palace. Now, please drink this glass of wine, Lord Xie, to save some dignity for myself and the Xie family."

Yin Shao handed the poisoned wine in his hand to Xie Lin.

Xie Lin's eyes slid from his hand to the remaining cup on the tray, and a faint sarcastic smile appeared on his lips: "Could the remaining cup be for my wife? What mistake did she make?"

Yin Shao glanced at Chu Heyi and said, "Mrs. Xie is unlucky. If she was still the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate before today, she would not be implicated in these two things. Unfortunately, now she is the married daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate and a legitimate Mrs. Xie."

After a pause, he continued, "This is the emperor's intention. Please don't embarrass me, Lord Xie and Madam Xie. I am only following orders."

Xie Lin looked directly at Yin Shao and took the glass of wine from his hand. The glass was very small, so he held the glass between his fingertips and turned to look at Chu Heyi.

Yin Shao brought another glass of wine and handed it to Chu Heyi: "Thank you, Madam."

Since ancient times, if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die.

This glass of wine in front of you is like the devil who claims your life, and no one can refuse it.

The wedding night should have been the happiest and most important day in one's life, but today one was sentenced to death... How could one easily accept this?

So, when Chu Heyi stared at the cup of poisoned wine for a long time and did not take it, Yin Shao did not urge him, but just pushed the poisoned wine a few inches forward.

It was these few inches that brought the poisoned wine closer to Chu Heyi. Xie Lin pulled her back to avoid the cup of poisoned wine.

"throat!"

There was a slight sound, and it turned out to be Xie Lin putting the wine glass in his hand back on the tray.

Yin Shao frowned quickly, and the guards behind him instantly clenched the long swords in their hands, with cold light shining like frost and snow.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lin said, "My wife and I have just drunk the wedding wine, so we are not thirsty. Please take the wine that the emperor gave you back, Lord Yin."

Yin Shao was so angry that he almost laughed. "Master Xie should know what this wine means. Not to mention whether I can take it back, if Master Xie and his wife refuse to drink this glass of wine, can you bear the consequences?"

Playing dumb! Xie Lin and his wife are actually playing dumb!

Yin Shao really didn't understand what confidence the couple had to dare to play dumb.

This is a death sentence from the emperor!

Xie Lin did not answer his question, but instead talked about something else: "King Cheng and his wife have rebelled and have already led their troops into the palace. Lord Yin, as the commander of the imperial guards, didn't you know about this?"

What! Yin Shao suddenly opened his eyes wide!

Then, Chu Heyi said, "The troops of Prince Cheng and his wife have already rushed into the palace, and the emperor is in danger. But it doesn't matter. My husband and I have already notified General Shu Xiao in advance to lead troops to suppress the rebellion and protect the emperor. As for the outcome, it is still unknown."

Yin Shao's pupils shrank slightly, and he was stunned. He looked at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi in disbelief.

Xie Lin said indifferently, "Master Yin is the emperor's personal guard. Prince Cheng and his wife have already rushed to the palace. Why don't you take your guards to rescue the emperor?"

Yin Shao's face turned alternately blue and white. He was rebelling. Xie Lin and Chu Heyi were actually rebelling!

The story about King Cheng and his wife leading troops into the palace with the intention of rebellion was just an excuse!

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi had already guessed that the emperor would send them poisoned wine to kill them, so they notified Shu Xiao in advance to lead his troops into the palace. They were afraid that the palace had now been surrounded by Shu Xiao's army.

The emperor is in danger, not because of the Cheng Wang couple, but because Xie Lin and his wife rebelled!

Yin Shao was extremely shocked. He could never have imagined that Xie Lin and his wife could be so bold!

Zheng!

With a sharp whistle, Yin Shao drew his sword and pointed it at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi: "I don't care what the situation is in the palace. I only know that the emperor ordered me to deliver wine. Please drink the wine, Lord Xie and Madam Xie, and I will complete my mission! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

He was loyal to the emperor, obeyed the emperor's orders, and did whatever the emperor asked him to do.

After completing the task at hand, he will solve the remaining problems one by one.

The guards behind him all pointed their swords at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. Seeing this, the guards guarding the yard also raised their swords.

The atmosphere was tense.

War is about to break out.

Wow!

Someone came out of nowhere and surrounded Yin Shao and the guards he brought with him in an instant.

Yin Shao turned around and saw his former friend and subordinate Xue Jinfei. He was shocked: "You..."

Xue Jinfei had a blank expression on his face, holding a cold sword in his hand: "Master Yin, you are surrounded!"
