Xiyue Palace.

Concubine Jiang looked at the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, how long are you going to keep the little slave girl born by that slave girl?

This matter was all done in private. What if she found a way and ran out and told everyone about it?

Keeping her around is always a hidden danger, so it's better to deal with her as soon as possible and put an end to the matter as soon as possible."

The old emperor stood up from the jade table and said, "It's not that I don't want to deal with it, but I want to wait until this storm is over.

A few days ago, our spies in Dongling came back to report that the entire Xue family was exterminated, and the evil creature born to Xue Lin was also tortured to death.

Among them, there is a crime that has not been made public but is known to many people, which is colluding with foreign nations to attempt to rob the country.

What does this mean? It means that Dong Ling may have guessed something about what we were planning."

Concubine Jiang was very surprised: "Even that lowly maid Xue Lin and that old man Xue Li didn't know about this. How did they know?"

"I don't know! Otherwise, why would the Xue family be charged with colluding with foreign nations? I kept Xue Lin until now just to see what the consequences would be.

It has been nearly a month since the incident, and Dongling Country has not made any moves. There is no point in keeping it, so let’s just deal with it.”

Concubine Jiang supported the old emperor and said, "Let's go see her and let her die with a clear conscience."

A certain courtyard.

Xue Lin was sitting in front of the window in a daze.

I have been rescued and have been living in this villa for more than half a month, but I haven't even seen my father, the emperor and my mother.

Now, he has lost his home, son and sweetheart, and was escorted all the way to the border, not to mention the hardships he has endured.

When I needed comfort, no one came to visit me.

Forget about my father, but my mother has never come once. Do they dislike me?

Xue Lin looked away bitterly.

Although this villa is luxuriously decorated, it is no different from a prison cage.

The same few people serve me every day. They are like puppets, not talking or laughing. They just focus on their work and will only answer with a few simple words when asked.

If she continued to waste time like this, Xue Lin felt that she would go crazy.

Thinking of this, he stood up irritably and walked around the room a few times.

"Somebody come!"

After waiting for a while and seeing no one came to answer, Xue Lin raised her voice angrily.

"Come on, where did they all die?"

At this time, a palace maid came in, without greeting or greeting, she just raised her lips and said: "What's the matter?"

Xue Lin's temper, which had been accumulating for many days, finally couldn't be suppressed: "What's your attitude? I don't act like a maid. Where did you learn the rules?"

"Hey, are you lecturing me?"

Xue Lin was furious: "You, you...I'm going to tell my father and mother to chop off all your heads."

The maid taunted, "Father, mother? Oh, Princess, please don't chop off my head. I'm so scared.

Pah, it's so funny!

You can't even see your own identity clearly. If you were really a princess, would the Emperor and His Majesty have left you here for so long?"

Xue Lin became furious and raised her hand to slap the maid in the face.

"You are just a lowly servant, are you thinking of rebelling? I am the daughter of my father, the emperor and my mother, after all. Who do you think you are? How dare you treat me like this?"

Unexpectedly, his hand was grabbed by a palace maid.

The palace maid's grip was so strong that Xue Lin felt her wrist was about to be crushed.

"open!"

"So what if I don't let go?"

"What are you doing?"

A low and majestic voice came from outside.

Xue Lin looked up and saw her father and mother whom she had thought about countless times in her mind.

He quickly broke free from the maid's hand and saluted: "Your Highness greets His Majesty and His Majesty!"

Then he complained tearfully: "Father, Mother, this lowly servant bullied me."

The old emperor waved to the palace maid.

The maid retreated silently.

Xue Lin didn't bother to think too much, and held the hands of the old emperor and Concubine Jiang affectionately: "Father and mother, you finally came to see your son."

The old emperor and Concubine Jiang both shook off Xue Lin's hands at the same time.

Xue Lin stared at her empty hands in astonishment: "Father and Mother, you..."

Concubine Jiang spoke up: "We are here to see you off for the last time.

Now that things have come to this, we will no longer hide the truth from you. You are not our biological daughter, but the child of a palace maid and a servant.

I thought you could achieve great things, but I didn't expect you to be such a useless person.

Since things have failed, there is no need for you to live."

Concubine Jiang took out a medicine bottle from her bosom.

"Drink it, and I will let you die with dignity. If you don't cooperate, then we will have to help you."

Xue Lin stared at the two of them and shook her head fiercely: "I went through so much trouble to return to Xiyue, how could this happen? Why is it like this?"

The old emperor glanced at Xue Lin who was out of control.

"Because, at that time, I was still young and full of ambitions. I wanted to expand the territory of Western Yue and incorporate Dongling into Western Yue without any effort.

And your birth just gave us such an opportunity.

In order to settle this matter, I lost five million taels of silver and a considerable amount of precious medicinal materials last month."

"In that case, why did you go and redeem me?"

The old emperor snorted in dissatisfaction: "Isn't it just to make Emperor Dongling think that you are our real princess."

"That is to say, from the very beginning, this was a trap set by you. Me, Xue Li, Emperor Dong Ling, all of us, were tricked by you."

"You can say that! I had planned everything well, but you idiots messed it up at the last minute."

"What if this succeeds? Will my Heng'er not be able to be emperor for long? Will we be making wedding clothes for you and have to make room for you to die?"

"Yes, it's just living a little longer."

Xue Lin laughed out loud: "You are so vicious! I didn't expect that my father and mother, whom I have been thinking about for so many years, are the evil people who pushed me into the abyss.

If I'm not mistaken, my biological parents have already died in your hands, right?"

"Yes, she has been dead for decades. The affair between a palace maid and a guard is a capital crime!"

"Hehehe..." Xue Lin laughed so hard that tears came out.

"It's ridiculous that we have been scheming for our entire lives, but in the end, we are just pawns controlled by you."

The old emperor looked at Xue Lin who was laughing crazily and said, "I can't figure it out. Our plan was perfect, so why did it fail?"

"You claim to have planned everything, but how come you didn't anticipate failure?

Now that I think about it, it was as if Emperor Dongling knew what we were going to do in advance and had already thought of a solution waiting for us.

Hahaha... the strategy you are so proud of is nothing but a clown in front of Emperor Dongling."

The old emperor was furious, but he still tried his best to maintain his dignity: "He can't possibly know that you are a fake princess."

"Whether you know or not, what does it matter? Didn't you just pay the money and keep the matter quiet?

Just wait and see, maybe one day, the Emperor of Dongling will send his soldiers to crush the Western Yue Kingdom and kill you."

After cursing, he snatched the poison from Concubine Jiang's hand and drank it in one gulp.

After a moment, blood began to flow from all seven orifices, and he pointed at the old emperor and Concubine Jiang in pain.

"I curse you to die a horrible death, I curse the destruction of the country of Xiyue, I curse you..."
