"You're here." Yu Guiwan walked in, and the person opposite him knew who the visitor was before he even opened his eyes.

"Meet Princess Chen."

Xu Che stood up and bowed.

At this moment, Xu Che's body was covered with whip marks of various sizes. As Xie Yunqi's confidant, he was naturally tortured.

Yu Guiwan put down her hat and went straight to the point without beating around the bush. "I can get you out." In her previous life, she had a lot of contact with Xu Che, so she naturally understood why he did all this for Xie Yunqi.

Xu Che was one of the few people in his previous life who treated her sincerely. However, she didn't know how Xie Yunqi felt since he helped her kill the Yu family and his best friend in his previous life.

Xu Che smiled faintly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess. I only ask that you take care of my wife for me. I will be very grateful."

"As long as you get out, you can reunite with her." Yu Guiwan reminded again. She wanted to save Xu Che for her brother's sake.

Xu Che paused. When he mentioned his wife, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. After a long while, he finally said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I made a mistake and deserved to be punished."

In the end, Xu Che rejected Yu Guiwan's kindness.

"Do you regret it now?" she asked.

Xu Che shook his head. "Prince Ping saved my life, and I owe him my gratitude. Now that I've ended up like this, I don't regret it. I only regret letting my wife down."

"Mr. Xu has another favor to ask of you." Xu Che suddenly looked at Yu Guiwan.

Yu Guiwan nodded. As long as it wasn't an excessive request, she would agree to it.

"I know the princess practices martial arts, so she should carry a sharp weapon with her."

Yu Guiwan was stunned and immediately understood what Xu Che meant.

Xu Che smiled and said, "A Su is timid by nature and cannot stand the sight of blood. I cannot bear to see her witness my beheading."

"Anything else you want to leave for her?"

"Tell Asu that there is something left for her at home."

Yu Guiwan turned and left, promising, "I'll take care of her for you."

"Thank you."

Xu Che's grateful voice came from behind, and then -

A "puff" sound was heard, followed by the smell of blood coming from behind Yu Guiwan.

……

After Yu Guiwan came out of the Ministry of Justice prison, she immediately went to the location Xu Che told her. The location was in a small courtyard outside Beijing. Before she got close, she saw a gentle woman.

In his previous life, Yu Guiwan had met Xu Che’s wife once, when they got married.

When Asu saw Yu Guiwan’s outfit, she shrank back and wanted to run into the house.

"Xu Che asked me to come." Yu Guiwan saw that she looked flustered, probably because she was afraid of her, so she took off her hat to reveal her face.

"Are you...Mr. Yu's sister?"

When Asu saw her, he was stunned for a moment and then said her name.

Now, it was Yu Guiwan's turn to hesitate for a moment. She had never seen Asu in her life, so logically speaking, she shouldn't know her.

"That day, when Master Yu went to war, my husband and I watched him from afar, and I saw the princess once at that time," Asu explained.

At this point, Ah Su suddenly realized something, and a worried look appeared on her face, "Princess, are you here today? Did something happen to your husband?"

Yu Guiwan didn't know how to tell her that Xu Che was dead. She opened her mouth and said, "He asked me to tell you that there is something left for you at home."

Ah Su understood immediately, and tears welled up in her eyes. She asked with trembling lips, "My husband, him?"

"Dead."

At this point, Yu Guiwan no longer hid the truth from her.

When Asu heard the bad news, he staggered a few steps.

"I should have known earlier, I should have known earlier..."

"Based on my husband's character, he would definitely not betray His Highness Prince Ping, who has been so kind to him. But after doing so many wrong things, he can't live like this, he can't live like this..."

A month ago, Xu Che placed her here. At that time, Asu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she pretended to know nothing, because Asu knew that Xu Che would not leave with her.

Suddenly, Asu ran into the house and found a letter at the bottom of her jewelry box.

Ah Su's eyes suddenly widened, and he murmured, "Divorce letter..."

A moment later, Ah Su finished reading the divorce letter and burst into tears. The next second -

Asu tore up the divorce letter completely and forced a smile, "Husband, don't even think about abandoning Asu..." After she finished speaking, Asu burst into tears.

Yu Guiwan wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how.

At the gate of the Ministry of Justice Prison.

"I'm Fu Yan, I'm here to turn myself in."

Fu Yan spoke expressionlessly. In one day, she became unkempt and looked completely different from her usual noble lady appearance. Even the guards didn't recognize her at first sight.

In fact, even if she just turned herself in, she knew she couldn't escape.

Besides, she never wanted to leave the capital.

"Hurry up and take him in." At the guard's command, Fu Yan was taken to the Ministry of Justice's prison.

"Get in!"

The guard pushed Fu Yan.

Mrs. Fu and Fu Zhaochuan were imprisoned together. When they saw Fu Yan being brought over, both of them looked helpless and sad.

"Dad, Mom!" Fu Yan walked towards the two of them and hugged them tightly.

"Why are you back? Why are you back?" Mrs. Fu looked at her, feeling angry and distressed. Coming back would mean death.

Fu Yan wiped the tears from her face and smiled with all her might, "Mom, I can't escape. Prince Chen has already ordered the city gates to be sealed. Since we are all going to die, why don't we stay together as a family so that we can have company."

Fu Yan seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. At this time, she no longer had any obsession with Xie Yunqi in her heart. She only hoped that she could meet someone who treated her sincerely in her next life.

In fact, sometimes, she really envied Yu Guiwan. Why could she get someone who treated her sincerely?

"Your Majesty has ordered Prince Ping to be executed in the autumn, and even Concubine Hui has been banished to the cold palace." Fu Yan told the two of them the news he knew outside.

Fu Zhaochuan closed his eyes, filled with regret. "Since ancient times, the victors have been kings and the losers have been bandits. It's all because of me that I have implicated you."

……

Two months later, Xie Yunqi's actions were exposed to the public. Xie Yunqi, Shen Yunmiao, and the main members of Prince Ping's party were all executed in public, and the crowd applauded! Most of the women implicated were made slaves of the officials. After this incident alone, the entire court was cleansed.

Yu Guiwan was hiding in the crowd, just as the big knife was about to fall.

Yu Guiwan didn't even blink for a moment as he saw Xie Yunqi and Shen Yunmiao die by the knife, their bloody bodies falling to the ground.

Only after the crowd had dispersed did Yu Guiwan walk away.
