what?
Wu Qingyue was stunned when she heard the news.
That woman who was as tenacious as an indestructible cockroach on a normal day, actually died so easily?
She was a little dazed for a moment, but when she calmed down, she felt that such a death was too easy for the other party.
At this moment, Mu Yanhan, who had been paying attention to her reaction, asked softly: "Yue'er, are you feeling sad for your sister?"
Seeing her silence, Mu Yanhan mistakenly thought that she was unable to speak because she was too sad.
"How can it be!"
Wu Qingyue retorted loudly, almost subconsciously: "Whether she lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me!"
After saying this, she seemed to realize that her tone was too intense and paused for a moment, but quickly continued, "Our relationship has already deteriorated to the point of being extremely bad. What does her life or death have to do with me?"
"Is that so? I also heard that the emperor only confined Wu Yanzhen to house arrest and did not give him a more severe punishment."
Wu Qingyue sneered: "Yes, after all, Wu Yan is the emperor's cousin, and she is also the princess of the Northern Di Kingdom. Her status is extremely noble. Even if she commits a big mistake, the emperor will not punish her severely."
"But even if it's just house arrest, it must be a big blow to Wu Yanzhen, who has always been arrogant." Mu Yanhan said thoughtfully.
Wu Qingyue smiled faintly upon hearing this, her smile filled with undisguised sarcasm. "That's right, with Wu Yanzhen's arrogant personality, suffering such humiliation would definitely hurt her pride greatly. Haha... just thinking about it makes me feel happy!"
Just as the two were talking, Xiaotao suddenly ran over with a panicked look on her face.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! I just happened to see Cui'er, Wu Yanzhen's maid, spreading rumors everywhere. She even said that you instigated the Emperor to execute Miss Shuang!"
When Wu Qingyue heard this, a cold light flashed across her beautiful eyes. She snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you are such an ignorant girl. You even dared to fabricate rumors about the emperor."
Mu Yanhan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but frown upon hearing this and said worriedly, "Once this rumor spreads, it will probably have a huge negative impact on your reputation."
However, faced with such a thorny situation, Wu Qingyue remained remarkably calm and composed, responding nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? As long as one's conduct is upright and honest, why would one be afraid of those groundless rumors? However, we absolutely cannot let this matter go on unchecked and allow it to develop to any further extent."
Seeing Wu Qingyue so calm and composed, Mu Yanhan felt relieved, but he still asked anxiously, "Has Yue'er thought of a good way to deal with this?"
Wu Qingyue shook her head slightly and replied with a smile, "I haven't thought of a suitable solution yet. Let her be proud for a few days."
As expected, not long after, the news that Wu Qingyue had woken up spread throughout the palace as quickly as if it had wings.
Wu Yanzhen, who was confined to the palace for making a mistake at the moment, was furious when he heard the news. He raised his hand and slapped the maid next to him hard in the face.
"You damned slave! Didn't you solemnly assure me that that lowly woman Wu Qingyue had been poisoned and was unconscious? How come she's woken up now, safe and sound?"
Wu Yanzhen's eyes were wide open and he questioned the trembling maid in front of him with gritted teeth.
The maid who was beaten also felt very wronged: "Princess, it was that woman Wu Yinshuang who said it herself. She said that she had poisoned the Ninth Princess's food, and she watched her eat it with her own eyes. Logically, she should be dead by now!"
Wu Yanzhen roared in rage, "You're a bunch of useless idiots! I've been feeding you with good food and drink, but in the end, you're of no use at all! What's the point of raising you?"
Cui'er, standing by, trembling, covered her red and swollen cheeks with her hands, and said timidly, "Princess, please calm down. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Now that Wu Qingyue has awakened, she will surely be wary of us. If that happens, it will be extremely difficult for us to take action against her again."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yanzhen couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with disdain, "Even if there are many difficulties, so what? Does Wu Qingyue still naively think that she can sit back and relax from now on? Humph, as long as I am still the princess of the Northern Di Kingdom, she will never have a good life!"
However, at this moment, another maid timidly said, "But Your Highness, you have been confined here by His Majesty's order, and it is unknown when you will be allowed to leave the palace. If you remain trapped here, how will we deal with that hateful woman?"
The palace maid's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the most vulnerable part of Wu Yanzhen's heart.
"My cousin is so blind that he was deceived by this woman. He even refuses to recognize me as his cousin!"
"That's right. The Ninth Princess is really very clever..." Cui'er beside her couldn't help but agree.
Before she finished her words, there was a crisp "slap" sound, and Wu Yanzhen slapped Cui'er hard in the face again.
"You daring slut! Who allowed you to speak well of that bitch? If I hear one more word of praise about that bitch from your stinking mouth, I'll peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, and leave you wishing you were dead!"
"Yes, yes! I will never dare to do it again!" Cui'er knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize.
"Humph! I don't believe that once my cousin sees her true face, he will still be so partial to her!"
Her hands were clenched into fists and her body was shaking slightly with anger.
"Of course not! Princess, don't worry, the emperor will definitely see through everything!" Seeing this, the palace maid beside her hurriedly agreed, trying to calm her anger.
However, Wu Yanzhen couldn't hear any words of comfort at this moment. Her heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness. Confined here, deprived of her personal freedom, she felt like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to spread its wings and fly. Moreover, she had no idea when her cousin would release her from this prison-like place.
"No, I absolutely can't just sit there and wait to die!" Wu Yanzhen suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
"Hurry up and prepare some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for me!"
"Princess, what are you...going to do?"
"Write a letter to my father!"
