But he was not an affectionate person at all. She had only been in the mansion for half a year when he took in other concubines.

Since he doesn't truly love me, why does he have to imprison me in this palace?

In the final analysis, it was just to satisfy his morbid possessiveness.

But this ruined her life.

The King of Southwest found this ridiculous.

"It's obvious that you coveted the prince's wealth and glory. Otherwise, you could have explained it to me clearly when I came to pick you up."

When Concubine Wu heard this, she laughed, and her laugh was extremely sarcastic.

"My Lord, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say this?

Don’t you know who you are?

If I had told you at the beginning, would I still be alive today?

Is my parents, family, and Gu Lang still alive?"

This man is a devil. He will never tolerate anyone who betrays him alive.

Otherwise, he would not have tortured someone's wife and daughter to death in front of that person in order to train someone who would be loyal to him and dare not betray him.

"King of the Southwest, don't try to delay any longer. All your men have been cleared out."

While saying this, Mu Yunyao took off her military uniform and led her men into Concubine Wu's room.

With a wave of his hand, several dead warriors were thrown in front of the King of Southwest.

When the King of Southwest saw the faces of those people clearly, his pupils shrank immediately.

He originally wanted to delay time.

He has a lot of assassins in his house, and they will definitely come to rescue him if they find something wrong.

But he never expected that the people who had been with him for many years and were the most skilled were actually dead.

Wang Qiang from the Southwest perked up and looked at the person in front of him with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Who are you? What grudge do I have against you? Why are you helping them?"

Mu Yunyao walked forward with a smile, stretched out her leg to hook a chair over, and sat down in front of him.

He leaned his head forward and asked, "What does the King of the Southwest think?"

The King of the Southwest looked at the face for a long time before speaking uncertainly.

"Are you Princess Yunxi?"

Mu Yunyao paused and said, "You guessed it right, but there is no reward."

"I have no grudge against you, why are you helping them?

He didn't understand why Princess Yunxi would leave her own marriage alone and come so far to get involved since this was originally his palace's family affair?

"Really? Are you sure we have no grudge against each other?"

Mu Yunyao leaned back and kept some distance so that she could see the man's face clearly.

"Then how did my mother die?"

The King of the Southwest just felt a chill on his back. He didn't know about this matter which happened so long ago, so how could she know it?

Mu Yunyao didn't know at first, but when she saw the reaction of the King of Southwest, she knew that her guess was correct.

She originally thought that Mu Jinnian's relationship with the King of the Southwest began after Mu Junsheng started studying abroad in recent years.

I didn't expect it to be so early.

But nothing seems impossible. Didn't the King of Southwest have several wealthy businessmen's families killed in order to support his private army?

Then it is natural that her mother controls two major chambers of commerce and has maritime resources, which makes people jealous.

What's more, natural disasters were constant at that time, and her mother and the Shen family almost became the emperor's money bags.

If her mother was eliminated, the emperor would lose his right-hand man, and he could take part of her mother's private property through Mu Jinnian.

This is definitely a good thing for him to kill two birds with one stone.

"It seems that it really has something to do with you."

As soon as Mu Yunyao said this, the King of Southwest knew that he was finished.

Mu Yunyao took a look and said to the confidant of the King of Southwest.

"I'll give you half an hour."

The King of Southwest looked at the dagger in the man's hand, his heart trembled.

If he wasn't afraid at first, it was because he thought his own people would come to rescue him.

But now that he knew there was no one who could save him, he was naturally afraid.

Watching the man approaching little by little.

"no, do not want."

Southwest Five Pinna shook his head, but no one here would sympathize with him.

Mu Yunyao simply kicked the table with her foot, using the force to slide the chair back a distance to avoid the blood splattering on herself.

Qingyun and the princess's personal guards stood by her side, waiting for everything here to be settled before they escorted the princess and the county lord back to the capital.

The confidant of the King of the Southwest was also ruthless enough. The first knife he stabbed was aimed at his lower three parts.

And at this moment, the King of Southwest suddenly spoke.

"Don't kill me, your mother... is still alive."

The King of the Southwest roared out with almost the last bit of his strength.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. The moment he uttered the last word, blood was already flowing from under him.

"what……"

The moment the two ounces of meat fell to the ground, a wild dog ran in from somewhere and took the meat away.

Mu Yunyao just felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

Moreover, why did she feel that this scene looked familiar, and the dog also looked familiar.

Fortunately, although the wound was serious, he was still alive.

Mu Yunyao waved at the man who had stabbed her.

"I'll spare his life for now, and I'll return it to you after I'm done with the trial, how about that?"

Although Mu Yunyao spoke in a negotiating tone, she did not give the other person a chance to refuse.

After all, her men had already stepped forward and dragged the King of the Southwest away.

The man was also tactful, "I am extremely grateful that the princess has given me this opportunity, and I dare not ask for more."

Although he wanted to cut this man into pieces, he knew that he had no chance when the King of Southwest said this.

But after thinking about it, he said, "I have followed the prince for these years, and I know some unknown things. If what the prince said just now had more clues, I might know something."

When Mu Yunyao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"That would be great. You can come with me to interrogate him later. As long as he doesn't kill him, you can do it."

Concubine Wu listened to what they said and didn't dare to even breathe.

She didn't understand. The one who was working with her was obviously the old lady of the Chen family, so where did this princess come from?

So do the terms they had agreed on before still count?

Although Mu Yunyao was concerned about her mother's affairs, when she saw Concubine Wu and those people, she knew that it would be troublesome if not handled properly.

Mu Yunyao waved her hand and said, "Take it down."

This woman is pitiful, but there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

Not to mention what his son has done, even the man next to her, does she really know who he is?

"Why? We, we are not..."

Concubine Wu wanted to say that they were on the same side, but Mu Yunyao just shook her head and smiled.

"No, we have never been in the same group. My purpose of coming to the southwest is to bring back the eldest princess.

And eliminating the King of the Southwest is not just a matter of convenience."

She was right. If it was not easy to bring the princess back secretly, then she could just get rid of the person who made things difficult for her.
