Concubine Jin, who was standing by, did not dare to act rashly when she saw this scene. She could only hold the handkerchief tightly in her hand to calm herself down.

Only she knew in her heart that everything before her was just a carefully planned plot by the emperor.

It turned out that everything, from sending that special food to Concubine Yu to asking a medical officer to take her pulse and confirm her pregnancy, was all secretly controlled by the emperor.

He wanted to expose the other party's crimes publicly in this way, so as to completely destroy his reputation.

But Concubine Jin really couldn't understand what purpose His Majesty wanted to achieve through this.

If it was a normal situation, it would be fine to just punish him directly, but why did he have to create such a big drama to warn others?

At this time, the palace maid finally revealed the name of the person behind the scenes in fear and trepidation.

After hearing this, His Majesty gave the order without hesitation: "Bring him here quickly and let me judge him personally!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Guiren was immediately frightened and turned pale. She begged, "I was wrong. Please forgive me this time for the sake of our past friendship..."

Unfortunately, no matter how she cried, all she got in return was contempt and indifference from those in higher positions.

Finally, Eunuch Zhang followed the order and stepped forward to advise: "Young Master, now that things have come to this, it is better to confess as soon as possible..."

There is a hint of regret in his words, but it also makes people feel that the fact is irreversible.

For example, torture instruments such as iron branding, silver needles, and tongs, each of which can cause unimaginable pain to a person's body and mind.

Their surfaces have a cold metallic sheen that is intimidating.

With just the slightest touch, the excruciating pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow will instantly spread throughout the body, making people feel like dying.

If you continue to stubbornly refuse to plead guilty, I am afraid that what awaits you will no longer be a simple punishment, but a more cruel and brutal method.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily, like the last leaf in a cold winter day, swaying in the strong wind.

Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. Her trembling lips opened and closed several times before she managed to utter a word: "Your Majesty...I really didn't mean to harm the daughter of the Su family!"

"All this was done by my father!"

Her voice was filled with deep regret and powerlessness. "He ordered his men to assassinate Miss Su, causing her innocent death on the battlefield. He was eager to make me the queen, and he even took extreme measures to achieve this."

At this point, she burst into tears and choked up, "My father sent spies into the palace and provided me with aphrodisiacs in an attempt to seduce Your Majesty and give birth to a dragon son for me."

She whispered in agony, "But from the beginning to the end, I was just a pawn being manipulated."

When Concubine Chu, who was beside Emperor Xuan, heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words.

She suddenly stood up from her seat and walked a few steps to Yu Guiren's side, her tone full of anxious concern: "Is what you said true?"

Seeing the other party nod affirmatively, Concubine Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned around and knelt on the ground, looking at the emperor who was high above him as if begging: "Your Majesty, please understand..."

At this moment, facing this sudden truth and Concubine Yu's sad and helpless look, Concubine Chu, as a friend of many years, couldn't help feeling sad and regretful.

However, when I thought of the woman who unfortunately died young, and remembered that she did not die heroically on the battlefield, but was ruthlessly assassinated, a feeling of righteous indignation suddenly arose in my heart.

Although I felt deep sympathy for Yu, I was powerless to change the established facts.

Because such crimes cannot be forgiven lightly!

After hearing all this, the emperor looked around the room calmly, then said to the attendants beside him calmly: "Take her father to the interrogation agency immediately and give him the due punishment."

Then he added, "As for this woman, all her titles will be stripped away and she will be demoted to a commoner. At the same time, she will be given poisoned wine and allowed to end her life on her own."

Sure enough, as requested, the concubine was given a chance to die in a dignified manner.

A eunuch took the order respectfully, then shouted sternly: "Come, take her away!"

Several burly figures immediately rushed forward and firmly controlled Yu.

Just as she was about to be forcibly taken away, a desperate cry suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation! When did you know the truth?"

However, she received only silence in response.

The man on the dragon throne gestured to the entourage around him with an expressionless face.

"Hurry up and get it done!"

Although he continued to struggle and shouted for help: "Your Majesty, save me", he was quickly dragged out of the palace gate and disappeared completely...

After witnessing the whole process, the other concubine couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that she turned back in time, otherwise she might be the one suffering the same misfortune today.

If you want to survive in this harem, you must be careful at all times and not easily step into forbidden areas.

After calming down and looking up at the receding figure again, Concubine Chu sighed inwardly, then slowly turned around and prepared to leave.

The man sitting on the magnificent throne and flipping through a large amount of document materials looked completely different.

Young, handsome and dignified; not only does he possess outstanding leadership skills, but he can also calmly deal with various complex situations both inside and outside the country...

Emperor Xuan quickly supported her, holding her arms tightly with both hands, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable: "Sister, please don't do this kind of courtesy."

"You and your brother have worked hard along the way."

His eyes were full of distress and concern.

Su Wanyu nodded gently, with a faint smile on her lips: "We returned by water this time, and we didn't feel tired. On the contrary, we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, which was quite pleasant."

Her voice is like a gentle breeze, bringing a sense of tranquility to people.

Originally, they only planned to stay in Northern Frontier for about two months, but it happened to be the wedding day of their aunt and Bai Hefei.

Therefore, this wedding became the reason for everyone to stop and watch.

As a result, the originally planned short trip had a little more time.

This unexpected postponement did not make Su Wanyu unhappy. On the contrary, being able to witness the happy marriage of the newlyweds made her feel relieved and happy.

When talking about Bai Hefei and Jiang Yingying's wedding, Su Wanyu showed a gentle smile on her face, "Their union is really an unexpectedly beautiful story."

All along, the two Jiang brothers believed that their sister might never get married.

Even if there is someone who is not afraid of death, he would dare to marry her.

Sure enough, as people expected, the groom was a man who had the courage to face the challenge of death - Bai Hefei was such a man.

But he finally chose to face the challenges in life bravely and won a happy marriage.

However, when he returned to the capital this time, Bai Hefei was the only one missing, because he decided to stay at the northern border.

The king was quite surprised that there was one less carriage in the team returning to Beijing this time.

He never expected that when he had tried his best to get Gu Linjun to stay but failed, he would unexpectedly gain a brother-in-law.

When Emperor Xuan noticed the change in the number of vehicles in the convoy, he immediately turned to Su Wanyu and asked, "Sister, is there anyone who didn't come back with us?"

There was some concern in his tone.
