The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"Yes, son, obey."

Yu Wangbei gladly accepted his father's arrangement and prepared to let Yu Tingjin die.

The palace sent out a message saying that Yu Tingjin had been taken home by Madam Yu and that the palace was investigating his whereabouts. Upon hearing this, Yu Wangbei felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He had just entered the officialdom, a period of rapid advancement. Competition among his peers was fierce, and there were people waiting to trip him up. Any minor flaw could be magnified, affecting his future career and even his entire life.

His father had been out of office for a long time due to a lawsuit at home, and he had been implicated. Now many important matters in the government office could not be handed over to him. Seeing his colleagues busy as hell, he often came up empty-handed, and the anxiety in his heart was beyond words.

When he returned home, his gentle wife and young children made him feel extremely pressured.

He now desperately wants to take advantage of his father's impending comeback to make a breakthrough in officialdom.

He was full of energy and just waiting for his father to return to the court.

well.

Yu Tingjin fell from the sky.

His hatred can be imagined.

Once something happens, even though the person was brought back by Madam Yu herself, who would believe it if outsiders heard it?

I would just think that the entire Yu family was involved.

Stealing a concubine from the palace is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. What official position and career can he hold? It’s another matter whether he can survive or not!

After his father Yu Zhong left, Yu Wangbei did not wait for Yu Tingjin to wake up on his own.

Instead, he directly found a bucket of cold water and poured it on Yu Tingjin to wake him up.

"...brother?"

Yu Tingjin was dizzy and didn't understand the situation yet.

A belt was thrown at her.

"Hang the beams yourself. Don't make me do it myself and get my hands dirty!"

Yu Wangbei's voice was extremely cold.

Yu Yongnan was still lying there with a broken leg. At this moment, for some reason, he suddenly woke up.

His mouth was still gagged, his hands were tied, and his broken legs were in excruciating pain.

He sobbed and shook his head desperately, signaling his elder brother not to kill his sister.

Yu Wangbei thought his humming was too loud and glanced at him coldly.

"be honest!"

Yu Yongnan didn't realize the crisis yet and continued to sob and groan.

Yu Wangbei picked up the belt from Yu Tingjin and walked towards his second brother.

"Since something like this has happened in our family, someone must die to give an explanation to the palace. Father originally planned to break your legs so that the palace would not pursue you and save your life.

Later, sending my mother to become a nun was also done to inform the palace—it was for the sake of her son and grandson's future, sparing her life. A lifelong repentant nun would have a better reputation than a deceased sinner, and it wouldn't affect the future careers of her children and grandchildren. Otherwise, she would have been the first to die!

As for the criminal girl who escaped from the palace, her father ordered that she must be put to death.

If you want to save her, then you must die for her. We will send her to become a nun and your body to the palace.

Second brother, you choose, he dies, or you die."

Yu Wangbei threw the belt he was going to use to hang himself to Yu Yongnan.

The cold look made Yu Yongnan tremble subconsciously.

Someone must die...

If you don't consider the future of your children and grandchildren, the first person to die is your mother...

Between him and Jin'er, one of them must die...

If he breaks his leg, Jin'er will die, or if he dies, Jin'er will become a nun...

"Woooo..."

He desperately signaled to his elder brother, wanting to speak.

Yu Wangbei pulled the cloth out of his mouth and immediately questioned, "Why does someone have to die? Big brother, have you ever thought about it? Any of us can survive. Why should we die to answer to those ignorant people in the palace? Are there any differences between princes, generals, and ministers? If death is necessary, it should be them! That bitch who squeezed in to become the daughter of the Yu family, that slave girl named Fei Wan, that vixen who made our family lose face and ruined Jin'er's life! What kind of good can an emperor who favors her be? Big brother, you and father are so stubborn and still want to be loyal to such an emperor?!"

Yu Wangbei slapped his brother hard in the face.

He shouted loudly for his followers to come in.

The attendant who was standing guard outside came in, and Yu Wangbei ordered, "Bring a bowl of snake grass."

Achnatherum officinale is a medicine that can make people speechless.

After drinking it, my throat could no longer make normal sounds and could only hoarse like a broken bellows.

The tongue may also become stiff.

From then on, the person is almost like a mute.

This medicine has been prepared since the news came from the palace.

The attendant went out and quickly brought back a bowl. It was still hot after being boiled, but Yu Wangbei didn't feel any pain when he held it in his hand.

His expression was extremely cold, without a trace of emotion.

"Yu Yongnan, I'm giving you a chance to save yourself." He addressed his second brother by his first name, as if he no longer considered him a relative. "Will you drink this bowl of medicine, or will she?"

The moment Yu Yongnan met his elder brother's eyes, he knew that he was not bluffing, but was serious.

"I won't drink. I don't want to be a mute!" The severe pain in his leg also reminded him that his elder brother was cruel and ruthless, and he really wanted to fight him to the death today.

He suddenly shuddered, suddenly realized, and quickly changed his words: "Give it to me, give it to me, I can drink it! Don't give it to her! I won't die, don't kill me!"

Those who are mute will survive.

In order to prevent those who refuse to take the medicine from talking nonsense, the eldest brother will kill them.

Is that what you mean?

"Second brother..."

Yu Tingjin, who had just woken up, finally understood what his elder and second brothers were talking about.

Yu Yongnan’s choice made her sit up straight in disbelief.

"Second brother, you, you chose to let me die? Second brother, didn't you say that you would protect me forever and never let me be hurt by those people again? Why, why?!"

In the face of life and death threats, he took great care of her and risked his life to rescue his second brother from the palace, but now he wanted to save his own life and let her die?

She doesn't understand.

Second brother is not afraid of death. He even dares to scold the emperor!

"Ah!"

Yu Wangbei sneered.

He sees this more clearly than Yu Tingjin.

The second brother, Yu Yongnan, is just a tough but weakling.

He has been willful and arrogant since he was young. Relying on being smarter and cleverer than others, he feels that he can control everything.

When Yu Feiwan was first promoted in the palace, he actually dared to write a letter to the palace to scold her.

Even after his honors and titles were revoked, he still refused to repent and felt that the emperor owed him something.

Instead of repenting, he indulges in drinking, makes friends randomly, beats and scolds servants, and now he even dares to plan to steal someone from the palace.

It's just that we live too comfortably and have no idea about the real world!

My father and elder brother shouldered heavy burdens for the sake of the whole family, and walked on thin ice and was cautious in officialdom. However, these people were making trouble and hindering them behind the scenes, and even making excuses for themselves.

Until I actually received death threats.

The most self-serving reaction.

"Yu Yongnan, you coward, choose to survive, right?" Yu Wangbei asked.

Yu Yongnan shouted, "I'll drink it, I'll drink it," and cast a longing look at the medicine in his elder brother's hand.

Yu Wangbei pointed at Yu Tingjin and asked again, "You choose to let her die, right?"
