Chapter 291 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 64
The princes and eunuchs around were all amazed. They had never thought that there was such a strange thing in the world! They stared at Yu Wan, curious and afraid.

Seeing Yu Wan didn't speak, Liu Jing frowned and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this woman is very stubborn and won't speak easily."

The emperor nodded and ordered the secret guards: "Find a way to make her speak."

Yu Wan immediately stared at Liu Jing. It was him. He must have told everyone!
His heart was filled with hatred. Apart from taking away her property, she had never done anything to hurt him, but he was so cruel as to imprison her. Now he even told His Majesty about her space. Wouldn't a normal person who knew about this secretly take it for himself? Why didn't he follow common sense?

What followed was fear. Seeing the secret guard approaching, she said "come in" in panic and was about to disappear into the space.

Unexpectedly, a sword pierced her abdomen. The severe pain made her mind blurry. She screamed "Ah" and fell to her knees on the ground, stopping her from entering the space.

"She wants to go back to the space, press it!"

Everyone was shocked. The secret guards reacted immediately and handcuffed Yu Wan with her hands behind her back, looking grim. If Yu Wan had escaped, they would have been punished by His Majesty. Fortunately, someone reacted quickly and stopped her.

I couldn't help but look over and saw someone grabbing a secret guard's sword from behind and stabbing forward.

See Liu Zong standing there.

Liu Zong leaned over to the emperor and said, "I was watching her movements just now. She seemed to want to hide back in that space, so I took action. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hands and said, "Why blame me? You did the right thing." He stared at Yu Wan, who was in pain, and said coldly, "Hold her down tightly. If she dares to run again, stab her twice."

The secret guard responded, and Yu Wan was stunned, feeling even more frightened and scared.

The emperor was afraid that she would hurt someone unexpectedly, so he stood far away and asked, "Yu Wan, where did you get that space? Do you have another identity? Did you take the treasure that the Liu family lost?" He decided to change his attitude, "If you tell the truth, I will make the Liu family stop pursuing revenge against you."

Liu Zong and Liu Jing listened to the emperor using them to test Yu Wan, and did not say anything.

Yu Wan didn't believe it at all. As a daughter-in-law of the royal family in her previous life, she knew that the emperor was a cunning man and he was just trying to trick her into revealing the space. Besides, the emperor was a suspicious person and he might be aware of the Liu family's grievances, but he chose to believe that idiot Ling Rui. It was obvious that he wanted the Liu family to be wiped out.

She had no idea why the space appeared, and she couldn't explain it. The result would not be any better than that of the Liu family: "Your Highness!"

She turned around with tears in her eyes and cried miserably to the Third Prince: "Your Highness, save me."

At this moment, only the third prince might be able to save her.

The Third Prince almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. Yu Wan asked him to save her at this time? Noticing the gazes of his brothers and father, he was so angry that he almost swore.

Not to mention that he and she were just casual acquaintances, even if there was something going on, calling him at this time, would he save her, or would he be dragged into trouble and suspected by her father?
I think she is just an idiot. It’s bad enough that she was discovered for her space, but she is also very thoughtful.

They had clearly met so many times. When they were in the capital, she would often stay close to him. Now that she had been exiled back to the capital, she could also see him when she went to her mother's place. She had so many opportunities to tell him about the space, but she never told him once. He simply didn't believe that she didn't have her own thoughts.

She had this kind of thing, telling herself, how could she not get his attention? But she chose Liu Jing.

Unfortunately, Liu Jing treated her as a monster and openly told his father about the space. Now that his father knows about it, it would be strange if he could save her.

The emperor will never let her go and will find a way to figure out the matter of space.

She thought quickly about how to dispel her father's suspicion: "Miss Yu, just answer the questions of your father. You and I are just casual friends, and I will not help you to rebel against your father. Besides." She frowned and asked loudly, "After you left Beijing two years ago, the private vaults of your father, Lord Yu, and your stepmother and stepsister disappeared for no reason, causing them to have a hard time. Was it you who did it?"

Yu Wan froze. She didn't expect that the Third Prince would not only not save her, but would also question her.

"Also, more than a year ago, when the prince and the princess got married, Yu Ruyi disappeared inexplicably during the ceremony. No one in the mansion or the servants knew anything about it. Was it you who did it?" The third prince was secretly glad that Yu Ruyi was missing. No matter what the truth was, he should just put the blame on her.

"Before, the Dali Temple could not find out who took away Lord Yu's private vault. Now that you have such magical powers, it must be you who is responsible!"

Yu Wan's expression changed, and she only remembered this matter at this moment.

The Third Prince may not care about her father's affairs, but he married his beloved princess without Yu Ruyi. Now that her space is exposed, he will naturally suspect her.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It wasn't me! I didn't steal the jade ruyi!" He refused to admit it.

The Third Prince was delighted to see this. He turned around and knelt down in front of the Emperor, saying with a look of resentment, "Father, you know what happened on the day of my marriage. The original jade ruyi is missing, and my mother ordered someone to return to the palace to get her own jade ruyi to make up for it. Although the etiquette was over, my son and the princess still remember this. Now that we know it was this woman who did it, my son is too resentful to help her. "

The emperor stared at him, not knowing what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "Since we can't find it, it's most likely this woman did it."

He said to the secret guard, "Don't waste time, just let her speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver needle pierced into his fingernail fiercely. Yu Wan's eyes widened and she screamed in pain. However, before she could relax, the rest of her fingers were pierced one by one. She almost fainted from the pain and her whole body was soaked with sweat.

The pain was unbearable: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The secret guard let her go.

Yu Wan collapsed on the ground, her face covered with tears and snot. She raised her eyes and glanced at everyone present with a resentful look, then lowered her head and said, "I, I will return the things to you."

Then, all the things belonging to the Liu family and the Third Prince fell out and piled up on the ground. There were boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, boxes of medicinal materials, everything from large screens to small exquisite jade and gold hairpins, which was simply astonishing.

Some even fell into the water, and the guards quickly jumped in to fish them out.

If the emperor had not ordered people to surround the place and not let anyone in, this scene would have surely caused an uproar.

The Third Prince also saw the lost jade ruyi and was shocked. Then his face darkened. He just said it casually and did not doubt Yu Wan. He thought she did not have the guts to plot against him. Who would have thought that she really stole it! He hated her so much.

This woman is really sinister. She will be plotted against if she is not careful.

Thinking of how close her mother was to her, she was immediately scared. Because of Ling Rui's execution, her mother had repeatedly asked her father for help, but it was not well received. If they were found to be close to Yu Wan again today, it would be the end of them.

He immediately picked up the jade ruyi: "Father, the jade ruyi is here!"

The emperor saw the jade ruyi in his hand, which was indeed the one he had given him before for his marriage with the prime minister's daughter. He nodded and his expression eased a little: "It seems that you have also been tricked by this woman. Take it back and keep it for your princess."

Looking at Yu Wan, he commented: "Go back and ask Yu Fu how to teach his daughter!"

At this time, Liu Jing and Liu Zong saw the pile of Liu family's things, and their hearts settled down. They said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these are the treasures that the Liu family lost that day, they are all here." There was also a familiar jade pendant in the middle. Liu Jing remembered that he asked his third sister to pawn it on the way to exile. It seemed that Yu Wan had exchanged it from the pawnshop. I don't know what she is planning.

However, all her efforts were in vain now, and she had lost everything.

The emperor's face was a little stiff. After all, it was for these things that he ordered the Liu family to be exiled and not to take anything with them. No one was allowed to give them food, drink or silver, and they had to live in misery all the way to the border.

Half of the suffering I've endured has something to do with him.

With a look of regret, he patted Liu Zong and Liu Jing on the shoulders and said, "My two beloved ministers, it is all my fault. I have wrongly blamed your father and you. I have caused your family to suffer in exile. My heart aches. Now I know that your Liu family is truly loyal and sincere to the Great Zhou and the people."

He looked extremely regretful and his words were extremely sincere.

Liu Zong and Liu Jing's eyes also turned red: "Your Majesty was just deceived by the traitor, and it is the traitor who is hateful."

The emperor nodded heavily and looked at Yu Wan with hatred in his eyes: "Don't worry, my two beloved ministers. This evil woman, even though she is a citizen of our Great Zhou, after she framed the loyal and good people, she even dared to plot against her own father and stepmother. She is so cruel and vicious, I will naturally not let her go."

Yu Wan was lying on the ground, shaking with fear, her head was buzzing, and she felt pain and fear all over her body. She raised her head and said, "No, don't."

"Come here, take this girl to the prison."

Yu Wan's mind went blank. Two guards came to grab her. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed them away: "Get out of the way, Your Majesty, Third Prince, save me, I don't want to go to the Heavenly Prison." She hoped that he would save her because they had slept in the same bed in their previous life.

The Third Prince was so angry that he almost died. Did Yu Wan insist on having him punished together with his father?

He said directly to the two guards: "Why are you still standing there? Do as your father says!"

The two guards immediately covered Yu Wan's mouth. To prevent her from struggling to escape again or hiding in that mysterious space, they cut her body with a knife every time she took a step, causing her so much pain that she had no strength to resist.

Liu Zong and Liu Jing knew that the emperor wanted to interrogate Yu Wan himself and didn't want them to get involved, so they didn't say anything.

Although that space was indeed extremely wonderful and rare in the world, it had no meaning to them at all. Compared to wanting to find out the secret of that space, they wanted to clear the Liu family's innocence and let the women in the family live a peaceful and stable life.

They have no interest in what happens next and don't want to get involved.

The emperor was very satisfied with everything the two had done today. Before, he was wary of Liu's father, worried that having military power would be detrimental to the royal family. So he believed Ling Rui, the idiot, even though he knew he was lying. Because of this incident, a war broke out on the border, and the Liu family regained control of the border army.

He once worried that Liu Jing and Liu Zong might be dissatisfied with him as the emperor because of their father's affairs and might rebel.

Now he was completely relieved. Knowing that Yu Wan held the space and perhaps had other abilities, he did not think of hiding the person and keeping him in control. Instead, he chose to tell him, the emperor.

This shows that apart from their ability to fight, the Liu family really has no other concerns.

Satisfied, he said to the two brothers, "I wronged you that day. Now the truth is out. It was all caused by others. Take back the things I ordered to copy. Return them to their original owners. Kuang Jiao, give Liu Jing and Liu Zong one thousand taels of gold each, and a plaque with the word 'loyalty'."

The chief eunuch Kuang Jiao came running over, bowing his waist and saying, "It's your Majesty."

Liu Zong and Liu Jing also knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The emperor remembered that the Liu family still had several female relatives, and said with a smile: "Your contributions are not limited to this. As for the female relatives, don't worry, the queen will also reward them."

The two thanked each other again.

It was time for the palace banquet to begin and everything here had been settled, so everyone headed to the front hall.

The chief eunuch Kuang Jiao stayed behind and personally watched the guards put the Liu family's things in order and then sent them to the Liu Mansion. As for the Yu family's things that were dumped out by Yu Wan, they were put aside. After all, Yu Wan was Lord Yu's daughter, and he was responsible for what happened to his daughter.

In the palace, Yu Wan never came back. Her sister was a little worried that she would be discovered and blamed by the queen. Her mother grabbed her and said, "She can go wherever she wants. Why do you care so much?"

Yu Qing: “But…”

Her mother frowned: "But what but? Sit still."

Yu Qing could only sit down.

Not long after, the imperial concubine came over and everyone stood up and saluted. After a while, the queen came in with her maids, sat on the queen's throne, smiled and asked everyone to stand up, saying that the emperor had something to do and would come later.

Yu Qing glanced at her mother and said, "Mom, I'd better go look for my sister. The Queen is here. If His Majesty comes later, she will definitely be punished if she comes in."

Her mother was so angry that she almost died: "You little girl, why don't you listen to me? She was punished, what does it have to do with you? That damned girl regarded me as her enemy. You and your brother came out of my belly, and she also resented you. Before exiling you, she even put someone in your brother's room, trying to corrupt him. Fortunately, I found out."

"Even the maid in your room was bribed by her, adding musk to your perfume every day."

He poked her head and said, "She is a born bad seed. You have wanted to play with her since you were little, but she has never paid attention to you. She cut up all the purses you gave her. You have been through this so many times since you were little. Why can't you learn your lesson?"

Yu Qing thought about how she had always wanted to get close to her sister, but was always scared away by her disgusted look. Also, her younger brother was only eight years old, but was taught to gamble by someone arranged by her sister. If this continued, his life would be ruined.

She lowered her head and bit her lip, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness. She didn't understand why her sister was so hostile to them, after all they were family.

Seeing that she was dejected, her mother did not relent. She looked at the queen who was sitting at the head of the table and said, "She just went out. It was obvious that something happened. That girl is not a quiet person. Who knows what she might do."

"No matter whether she is good or bad in the future, you just need to do your own thing and don't try to take advantage of her by interfering, understand?"

The speech was sobering.

"understood."

Not long after, the emperor came in with several princes and Liu Jing and Liu Zong.

 I will add 2,000 words to this chapter tomorrow and update two more chapters.
