Chapter 436: Did you plead guilty because you didn’t want to implicate the prince?
On this day, the cell door was opened again. This time, it was not Qianye Yunxuan who appeared, but Rong Xuer.
"Wan Ning."
"Xu'er?"
Hearing Rong Xuer's voice, Mu Yifei had a slight reaction.
Suddenly sitting up from the cell, she pulled Rong Xuer over and said:
"Xu'er, did the emperor give Qianye Yunxuan any trouble? Is he okay?"
Seeing Rong Xuer's brows furrowed in distress, "The Emperor didn't make things difficult for him, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Mu Yifei's eyes flashed with some uneasiness.
"It's just that the conflict between the uncle and nephew is getting bigger and bigger. I often see them quarreling. Sometimes when the quarrel becomes fierce, they even start fighting."
"Is he crazy?"
Mu Yifei's brows tightened, and there was deep worry in her heart and eyes.
"He's crazy."
Rong Xuer sat down next to Mu Yifei and said: "Since your accident, he seems to have changed. Since I met him, I have never seen him quarreling so fiercely with the emperor."
She looked at Mu Yifei and continued: "He has always been a very sensible and measured person, but now..."
Mu Yifei's heart tightened even more because of Rong Xuer's words. She frowned but was speechless.
After a long while, she said in a low voice: "When does the emperor plan to deal with me?"
She thought that maybe as long as she was beheaded, that would be the end of it.
He won't argue with the emperor anymore about her.
Although she had not been in Donglin for a long time, she could see that the uncle and nephew, who were similar in age, had a very good relationship, but they were so stiff because of her.
"I don't know yet. It's just that the civil and military discussions in the Manchu Dynasty were very intense. Everyone asked the emperor to behead you in public, and then asked Nanli to give an explanation."
Rong Xuer also frowned, "Wan Ning, what's going on? I know you wouldn't send those two people to assassinate the emperor. Why do you have to plead guilty?"
Mu Yifei didn't answer, she just frowned and pursed her lips without speaking.
"Wan Ning, if you don't say anything now, I don't know how to help you."
Mu Yifei remained silent, but pursed her lips tighter.
"Wan Ning!"
Still in the usual silence, Mu Yifei did not speak.
When Rong Xuer was about to give up, she whispered:
"I don't want him to break the law for me."
Rong Xuer was startled for a moment, looked at Mu Yifei in disbelief, and said:
"You didn't want to implicate the prince, so you confessed?"
Mu Yifei frowned, pursed her lips, and nodded gently, "Xu'er, he has done enough for me. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, I have to die. I will die sooner or later anyway,
Why drag him into the water?"
Her voice was choked with pain, and she bit her lower lip, trying her best to prevent tears from flowing out of her eyes.
She could tell them that this matter had nothing to do with her. She was not the real princess of Nanli, so how could she send someone to assassinate the emperor.
However, once her impersonation is discovered, she will still be beheaded for the crime of deceiving the emperor. She has more than one crime on her body, and the national law cannot tolerate it. Her fate will be the same.
It's better to confess early. If she dies, everything will be over, and Qianye Yunxuan won't do so many stupid things for her anymore.
