The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

A murderous look flashed across Concubine Yan's face, and then she stood up suddenly, staring at Wei Yun fiercely, her tone cold and urgent: "Wei Yun, how could you frame General Hao like this!"

She took a step forward, her voice rising slightly with emotion: "My brother has made great military achievements throughout his life. He has risked his life many times to serve Your Majesty. How can a woman like you slander him so casually!"

Concubine Yan's eyes swept across everyone in the hall and finally stopped at a corner, as if seeking some kind of tacit understanding. After a moment, she nodded slightly, as if sending some kind of signal to that person.

Although she remained calm on the surface, Concubine Yan's palms were already soaked with cold sweat.

She knew that if anything went wrong today, it could lead to uncontrollable consequences. At this moment, she must not let herself be dragged into it.

However, Wei Yun was not moved at all. She looked at Concubine Yan's angry but slightly anxious face, and sneered: "Concubine Yan, you really understand your brother."

This sentence was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake. Concubine Yan's expression changed slightly in an instant, as if some hidden pain point had been touched.

Seeing this, Hao Hengshan's expression became even uglier. He shouted sternly, "Wei Yun! Don't go too far!"

However, Wei Yun seemed not to hear anything. She suddenly raised her head and laughed. There was a bit of madness and deep sadness in her voice: "Too much? Hao Hengshan, you said I was too much? You let me live in this dirty marriage for many years. Do you think I shouldn't fight back today?"

Everyone in the hall held their breath, their eyes moving back and forth between Wei Yun, Hao Hengshan, and Concubine Yan, as if they could smell the coming storm.

At this moment, the emperor on the high seat slowly raised his eyes. His gaze was deep and scrutinizing. He looked at Wei Yun, Concubine Yan and Hao Hengshan in turn, with an elusive meaning hidden in his eyes.

"Interesting." The emperor murmured in a low voice. Although his voice was soft, it made everyone in the hall feel shocked.

He looked at the three people with a smile, as if he was playing something, and as if he was waiting, waiting for the climax of the storm to arrive.

Eunuch Qian was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, his hands twisted together nervously. He dared not utter a word and could only watch the deadlock in the hall in silence.

The queen frowned slightly, with a bit of confusion on her face. She looked at Concubine Yan and Wei Yun, as if she was thinking, but she always maintained a dignified demeanor and did not easily reveal her emotions.

Concubine Jing, on the other hand, seemed extremely excited.

She looked at the tense situation between Wei Yun and Concubine Yan with a half-smile, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and she spoke in a brisk tone.

"Oh, Madam Hao, what you said is really shocking. General Hao has always been known for his openness and integrity. How could Your Majesty have any doubts about him?"

Her tone sounded harmless, but she invisibly directed the criticism towards Wei Yun, and pointed out the huge crisis that this dispute might bring to General Hao.

Shen Runing stood not far away, sighed secretly, and smiled bitterly in his heart: Concubine Jing's words are just right, and she always hits the key points.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yan looked stern. She did not hide her anger at all and directly retorted: "Concubine Jing, this is none of your business. Don't meddle in other people's business!"

"Oh." Imperial Concubine Jing chuckled, covered her lips and looked up at Imperial Concubine Yan, "Madam Yan, your protectiveness is really admirable. It seems that as a sister, you really love General Hao very much and don't want others to say a word about anything."

This sentence was like a hidden arrow, with a hint of ridicule and temptation in the words. Concubine Yan's face became more and more ugly, as if the hidden taboo in her heart was touched.

The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn, almost suffocating. At this moment, the emperor on the high seat spoke again.

His voice was low and majestic, but with a hint of elusive meaning: "Wei, I am a little curious. You are so presumptuous in the court today. Are you trying to tell me what is there about Hao Hengshan that makes me suspicious?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall fell into silence.

Wei Yun suddenly raised his head and stared at the emperor, his hands trembling, as if he was fighting against his inner struggle and fear.

"For Yan..."

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound broke through the air in the hall.

Before everyone could react, a thin eunuch rushed towards Wei Yun like a ghost. With a flash of cold light in his hand, a dagger slashed towards her neck accurately.

The sound of the dagger cutting the throat was low and cold. Wei Yun's eyes froze in astonishment and unwillingness. She didn't even have time to let out her last scream before her head bent backwards at a strange angle.

The headless body staggered forward two steps, then fell weakly in the center of the hall. Blood spurted out like a fountain, staining the smooth floor tiles red.

"what!!!"

"Assassination!"

……

Screams of terror exploded instantly, and the women in the hall were in panic. Some screamed and covered their faces and retreated, and some even fell to the ground. The scene was in chaos.

Shen Runing clutched her sleeves tightly, her heart suddenly contracted, and she almost instinctively took a step back, her pupils slightly dilated with fear.

"Protect His Majesty!" Several royal guards quickly rushed into the hall again and surrounded the emperor. The atmosphere became extremely tense.

The emperor did not show any sign of panic. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept across Wei Yun's headless body, and then slowly fell on the young eunuch who was assassinating him.

The young eunuch did not hesitate at all. After Wei Yun fell to the ground, he looked like a fanatical believer of some church, with a pious and resolute look.

He pointed the dagger in his hand at his heart without hesitation, one strike, two strikes, three strikes... He used all his strength in each strike, stabbing it deeply into his chest.

"Puff——" With the last knife, blood flowed out of his mouth, his body trembled slightly, and finally he fell to the ground, leaving one after another with Wei Yun.

Blood flowed out from the young eunuch's body, forming a shocking pool of blood. The chaos in the hall became increasingly out of control, and screams rose one after another.

Hao Hengshan rushed towards Wei Yun's body out of control and knelt beside her.

His hands were trembling and covered in blood as he tried to straighten Wei Yun's head, which had fallen to the side, as if this could bring her back to life.

"Wei Yun! Wei Yun!" He murmured in a low voice, his voice as hoarse as a broken zither string, with a hint of unwilling despair.

However, no matter how his hands trembled, Wei Yun was ultimately unable to respond.

"Ah——" a shrill scream was heard, and Concubine Chunhong's eyes rolled back. She fainted and fell to the ground. Her maid screamed and supported her, but she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she dared not shout for help.

Yan Fei's tightly clenched hands finally loosened slightly, and her fingertips turned white due to excessive force.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then lowered his eyes to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes, slowly took a step back, deliberately keeping a distance from Hao Hengshan.

The emperor still had an indifferent expression on his face. His eyes swept across Wei Yun's body and then fell on the cold face of the little eunuch.

After a few seconds, he turned to look at Concubine Yan.
