I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Concubine Xian snorted coldly, making it clear that she didn't want to answer.

Cui Shuyan was not in a hurry and just glanced at Shi Liu.

Shi Liu understood what she meant, picked up the dagger from the tray on the ground, walked to Concubine Xian, and stabbed her directly in the chest.

However, it avoided her vital parts and did not cause her to faint from the pain.

Of course, Concubine Xian would not be too comfortable.

In an instant, Concubine Xian arched her body in pain.

Before she entered the palace, she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. She grew up in luxury and wealth. Even if she accidentally pricked her hand while embroidering, her wet nurse would hold her in her arms and coax her for a long time.

Concubine Xian had never endured such pain before.

I had just gotten over the pain of a broken arm a few days ago, and now the pain has come again.

It was precisely because she had never experienced it before that she found it particularly unbearable.

"Cui Shuyan, give me a quick death!"

"Happy? When you ordered people to kidnap my brother and treated him like that, did you ever think of giving him a happy death?"

"No, I just wanted to make him wish he was dead, but I couldn't! I used every method I could think of to torture him. But I didn't expect that he was so tough that I couldn't kill him!"

As expected, it was Concubine Xian who had kidnapped my brother.

"So, I will use all the methods I can think of to deal with you."

Concubine Xian sneered, "Cui Shuyan, you are so bold! Even if I have done something wrong, I am still His Majesty's concubine. Just because you are a princess of a different surname, you can't punish me!"

"I might as well tell you that when I came here just now, it was Qingyu who brought me here."

"Qingyu?" Concubine Xian suddenly realized, "It was the Queen who asked you to come!"

"Yes."

"She's still alive?"

"Of course. She has a strong will to live. The injuries you inflicted on her will not kill her."

Concubine Xian gnashed her teeth in anger: "She is indeed a bitch, her life is so cheap that she can't even die like this!"

Cui Shuyan ignored what she said and continued the previous topic: "I still have the same question. Who was the one who came up with the plan to set me and Xie Xingyuan up?"

Concubine Xian looked at Cui Shuyan coldly and asked, "If I answer, can you give me a quick death?"

"Maybe, maybe not, it depends on my mood."

"So, it doesn't matter what I say. If you want to deal with me, you will do whatever it takes."

Cui Shuyan nodded, agreeing with Concubine Xian's words: "Yes, that's right."

"Then I might as well not say anything. You can do whatever you want."

"Okay, pomegranate."

At Cui Shuyan's command, Shi Liu immediately stepped forward with a dagger and struck several times.

Concubine Xian gasped in pain: "No matter how useless I am, I am still your Majesty's concubine. Aren't you afraid that one day this news will reach his Majesty's ears and make him wary?"

"Your Majesty may, but this is not what I need to consider right now. Are you still not going to answer my question?"

Concubine Xian was in so much pain that she softened her tone. "It was my idea. Only in this way can we bring Xie Xingyuan down from the altar. Because once the news of his affair with his niece's wife spreads, it will be enough to ruin his reputation. This is a good handle to hold him accountable. Naturally... naturally I will not miss this good opportunity."

After saying this long passage, Concubine Xian almost fainted.

After listening, Cui Shuyan nodded with satisfaction and called out, "Pomegranate."

So, Shi Liu pointed the dagger in his hand at Concubine Xian again.

Concubine Xian was so angry that her eyes widened: "I have already told the truth, why did you still do it?"

"Did I say I wouldn't do anything if you told me the truth?"

Concubine Xian was stunned.

Cui Shuyan certainly didn't say this.

"You fool me?"

"Yes."

"You..." Concubine Xian was extremely angry.

But at this moment, she found that she could do nothing to Cui Shuyan.

Just as she originally thought that Cui Shuyan, the daughter of the Cui family, could not do anything about her decision.

In her eyes, Cui Shuyan was just an insignificant pawn.

After all, the unfavored daughter of a low-ranking official is too easy to control and manipulate.

But who would have thought that such a person who could be crushed to death by anyone would actually come out step by step, and even overturn the whole game by her own strength.

It was not until this moment that Concubine Xian realized that perhaps she had never seen Cui Shuyan clearly.

She was horrified and asked, "When did you know that?"

“I knew it that night.”

"Impossible. I drugged you all. There is no antidote for that drug. At that time, there was no way you could stay awake."

Cui Shuyan smiled indifferently.

Yeah, there was no way she could stay awake.

But she was a person who had died once, and she came back to life at that moment with the memories of her previous life and the hatred for her son's murder.

"Feng Lianruo, whether you believe it or not, I knew it that night. So, I blocked Xie Shaohang's path to the imperial examination step by step and let the situation develop in another direction."

"It's you!" Concubine Xian was filled with horror.

In her plan, it was important to let Xie Xingyuan and Cui Shuyan have an affair, but it was equally important for Xie Shaohang to take part in the imperial examination and get a good ranking.

This is because, if Xie Shaohang cannot support the Xie family on behalf of Xie Xingyuan and cannot provide strong support for her son, then simply plotting against Xie Xingyuan is far from enough.

What she wanted was to get hold of Xie Xingyuan's handle, so that Xie Shaohang could rise to the top step by step, take over the resources and manpower that originally belonged to Xie Xingyuan, and provide support for the Sixth Prince in the court.

It’s a pity that Xie Shaohang failed to get a good ranking in the imperial examination, which disrupted all her subsequent plans.

Originally, she had designed it all.

As long as Xie Shaohang can be on the list, it doesn't matter even if his name is a little bit behind. She has already made arrangements and will arrange the best promotion path for Xie Shaohang.

Xie Shaohang was already very talented, so as long as he was arranged properly, everything else would not be a problem.

But she never expected that in the end, Xie Shaohang would fail.

As a result, everything that happened afterwards became a mess.

But all this was actually done by Cui Shuyan.

"Cui Shuyan, you've ruined my son's path to heaven! I'm going to kill you!"

Concubine Xian roared these words and rushed towards Cui Shuyan regardless of anything.

Cui Shuyan stood up suddenly and kicked Concubine Xian in the abdomen.

In an instant, Concubine Xian covered her lower abdomen with one hand and rolled on the ground in pain.

Cui Shuyan walked over, stepped on her face, and said coldly: "Oh, by the way, I was also the one who ruined the business of your Dingguo Mansion."

"I should have guessed it was you!" Concubine Xian gritted her teeth in anger.

To cut off Xie Shaohang's path to the imperial examination was only to cut off her future.

But destroying the business of Duke Dingguo's Mansion was like cutting off the source of her trouble and severing her foundation.

If she wants to bribe someone, she can't do without money.

If she hadn't had enough money, she wouldn't have failed miserably.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

No, she still has leverage.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian looked at Cui Shuyan proudly and grinned, "Cui Shuyan, you have come to this point step by step. Do you think you have succeeded? No, you have failed, and you have failed completely! Haha..."
