Chapter 316, 1. It's over, death is a relief.
Gu Ya Yun's eyes were full of anger. Was Ye Qing An not very smart? She had originally thought that Ye Qing An had not reported her conversation with He Yi to the Emperor because she was still clear-headed and knew who she dared to offend and who she didn't.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gu Ya Yun frowned, her eyes full of warning as she looked at Ye Qing An.
Ye Qing'an feigned fear, shrinking her neck, but her gaze fell on He Yi: "Every word I have said is true, and I dare not speak nonsense. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can ask General He."
Yi Yun Kui then looked at He Yi, who nodded slightly: "Yes, this humble general noticed that there was someone under Consort Yun's bed at the time, and thought that he should ask Consort Yun if she knew. Who knew that Consort Yun admitted it directly, saying that there was indeed someone under her bed, and asked this humble general if he would keep her secret."
Gu Ya Yun's eyes immediately reddened. She turned around and knelt down abruptly before Yi Yun Kui, her voice trembling with tears, looking utterly aggrieved: "Your Majesty, please understand! There's no shortage of pretexts to frame someone. I don't know why General He would collude with Miss Ye to slander and frame me. But I truly did not say those words..."
Yi Yun Kui's forehead veins bulged: "Really? He Yi, what do you say?"
He Yi also knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in response, and said, "Your Majesty, this humble general did not lie. Moreover, when this humble general was searching Consort Yun's palace, Consort Yun interfered with this humble general time and time again, and her words were very ambiguous."
"You're spouting nonsense!" Gu Ya Yun gritted her teeth. She could be implicated because of Gu Hai's matter, but she could never admit to hiding Ye Qing under the bed and seducing He Yi with her words.
Once she accepts it, she truly has no chance of turning things around.
"Your Majesty, you must do me justice! I have no idea what General He and Miss Ye are talking about. I don't even know why Miss Ye is under my bed..."
"Really?" Ye Qing'an blinked, raised her hand, and a sound-stealing bubble slid out from her sleeve: "This humble woman has just begun to cultivate the Profound Spirit Technique, so I wanted to create some light to see where I was, but unfortunately, my skills are not yet proficient, and a sound-stealing bubble suddenly popped up. This humble woman was in a hurry at the time and did not pay attention to it. The conversation between Consort Yun and General He should have been recorded."
Gu Ya Yun's eyes widened suddenly, her gaze fixed on the sound-stealing bubble, her eyes filled with disbelief.
How can it be?
She had thought that since there were only the three of them in the bedchamber at the time, she could get away with it by insisting that nothing had happened. But she never expected that Ye Qing'an would actually…
Gu Ya Yun took a deep breath. In fact, Gu Hai had told her before that Ye Qing An was not as useless as they imagined. Li Siya and Gu Xiang had both suffered at her hands before, so she had to be careful.
But at the time, she thought... she thought she was just a good-for-nothing, someone who had been sent to the manor by the Ye family to be a village woman for four or five years. How powerful could she be?
Therefore, I didn't take it too seriously.
Who would have thought that Ye Qing'an would give her such a generous gift?
The sound-stealing bubble floated in front of Yi Yun Kui. Yi Yun Kui narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and tapped it open.
"General He, look, this is my bedchamber..."
Gu Yayun's voice rang out immediately.
Gu Yayun clenched her teeth, her fingers gripping her sleeve tightly, her heart pounding with panic, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.
Soon, Gu Ya Yun's gaze fell upon the sound-stealing bubble. Her fingers curled slightly, as if she might simply... give up entirely...
Gu Ya Yun took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on the sound-stealing bubble, her fingers twitching slightly.
"Consort Yun..."
He Yi suddenly spoke up.
Inside the sound-stealing bubble, He Yi was also speaking. The two voices overlapped, startling Gu Ya Yun, who suddenly looked up at He Yi.
"Your Highness Consort Yun, do you intend to destroy this bubble?" He Yi questioned.
Gu Yayun chuckled awkwardly, "What did General He say?"
However, he gathered spiritual power in his hand, quickly raised his hand, and the sound-stealing bubble suddenly burst, and the sound stopped abruptly.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. She wasn't afraid that Gu Ya Yun would destroy the sound-stealing bubble. After all, she had already said what needed to be said. Gu Ya Yun's actions seemed more like a blatant attempt to cover up her guilt.
Although Gu Ya Yun felt that the words in the bubble were teasing, they weren't too outrageous.
But now that Gu Yayun has destroyed the bubble, Yi Yunkui will probably start to overthink and wonder what's inside, forcing Gu Yayun to do this.
As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, he heard Gu Yayun burst into tears and shout, "Your Majesty, please understand! It was He Yi who laid hands on me. I only said those things to lower General He's guard. Now that I think about it, I realize that this was clearly a trap set for me by General He and Miss Ye."
"I have suffered such a great humiliation, I have no face to live in this world anymore. I... I might as well end it all and die..."
As Gu Yayun spoke, she rushed towards a pillar to the side, her forehead slamming into it. She then fell to the ground, blood seeping from her forehead, and subsequently lost consciousness.
Yi Yunkui just watched coldly, as if he were watching a joke.
Just as Yi Yun Kui was about to speak, a eunuch rushed in from outside: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is kneeling outside the palace. He said he dreamt that Consort Yun had an accident, and he was awakened by the nightmare. He couldn't find Consort Yun, and he heard that Your Majesty summoned Consort Yun here, so he came to look for her..."
Yi Yun Kui sneered: "Carry Consort Yun out and send her back to her Yunhua Palace. Take the Sixth Prince back with you, and then seal off Yunhua Palace, forbidding anyone from entering."
“Yes…” A eunuch standing next to Yi Yun Kui hesitated for a moment before asking, “Should we summon the imperial physician?”
"No need," Yi Yun Kui replied expressionlessly. "Since she wants to die, then give her the chance and let her die."
"Yes."
The eunuch responded and raised his hand. Soon, several eunuchs quietly stepped forward and carried Gu Yayun away.
A boy's voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Mother! Mother, what's wrong? Mother! Don't scare me..."
Yi Yun Kui ignored her completely and looked at Ye Qing An: "You said earlier that the man in black was holding a white sword? And that it was gleaming?"
