Chapter 1656: 800 Beating the Monarch into Unconsciousness (Second Update)

In the National Master Hall, Shangguan Yun gradually began to "awaken," going from once a day for a quarter of an hour to being able to stay awake for over 2 hours each day.

The Emperor had visited her twice, causing Wang Xianfei and others to be so frightened that they couldn’t sleep at night, fearing that Shangguan Yun might suddenly decide to take them down with her.

Dong Chenfei discussed with her family and was the first to come up with a solution, and this information was soon discovered by Wang Xianfei’s spies.

Wang Xianfei also followed suit.

Almost on the same day, Yang Defei, who had been closely monitoring Wang Xianfei, also learned of her plans and thought the solution was feasible.

Chen Shufei and Feng Zhaoyi initially had no idea what the three were up to, but after observing the movements of the three major families, they could almost guess what’s going on.

At first, the five openly denied it, but as investigations intensified, they could no longer hide it and decided to come together!

Thus, in late July, the five concubines gathered at the National Master Hall again.

All palace maids were dismissed.

Shangguan Yun sat on a chair, resisting the urge to hug half a watermelon and take spoonfuls, looking coldly and disdainfully at the five opposite her: "What do you want now?"

Wang Xianfei, being the most experienced among the concubines, remained the spokesperson for the five.

She said, "Shangguan Yun, I know you actually don’t want to die. What you said last time was just to threaten us."

Look at this pretty talk. If Shangguan Yun hadn’t been prepared, she would have been caught off guard.

Shangguan Yun spoke slowly: "Since you think I’m pretending, why come to me? There’s no need to care whether I hold evidence against you or not."

Dong Chenfei snorted: "Shangguan Yun, we sympathize with you because we’ve watched you grow up, so we’re here to help."

Shangguan Yun smiled faintly: "Oh, you are playing good cop and bad cop, setting up a stage for me. Turn right as you leave, no need for a farewell."

The faces of the five turned red with anger.

Wasn’t Shangguan Yun just a muscle head who only knew how to fight? When did she become so sharp-tongued?

Wang Xianfei said, "Alright, since we’re here, we’re sincerely offering you a transaction."

Since their rhetoric was useless against Shangguan Yun, they might as well speak frankly.

Wang Xianfei continued: "Shangguan Yun, you may disregard your own life, but can you also ignore the reputations of the entire Xuanyuan Family? We won’t beat around the bush about what happened back then. Those charges against the Xuanyuan Family were indeed imposed by various noble families. Whether the Xuanyuan Family becomes renowned for ages or disgraced forever, it’s your choice."

Shangguan Yun remained completely unaffected by her words: "Wang Xianfei, it’s you who need me, not the other way around. You better adjust your attitude."

Wang Xianfei clenched her handkerchief, almost puncturing it.

She asked faintly: "It seems you don’t want those pieces of evidence?"

Shangguan Yun carelessly replied: "Just a few families’ evidence, it means nothing."

The five exchanged secret glances.

What’s going on with Shangguan Yun? How did she even guess they only intended to hand over the evidence of the other noble families?

They hoped to preserve their own families and wished Shangguan Yun would be easily deceived into exchanging the evidence they held.

Shangguan Yun put her teacup on the table, her aura fully unleashed: "If you want to prove the innocence of the Xuanyuan Family, then bring out all the evidence. Not a single piece omitted among the thirty-plus charges! Don’t challenge my patience and don’t think you can bargain with me. By tomorrow, what I want might be much more than that!"

"You!" Chen Shufei stamped her foot in anger again.

While the outcome wasn’t entirely unforeseen, they had prepared for the worst, which was Shangguan Yun demanding all the evidence.

Wang Xianfei suppressed her anger, seriously saying: "We can give you the evidence, but you must also hand over the documentations signed by us."

That kind of thing was long meaningless, readily available to them.

Three hours later, Xiao Hen and the old sacrificial wine next door verified all the accounts, letters, and evidence, confirming their authenticity.

Both parties completed their transaction.

Wang Xianfei and the four others left angrily.

These pieces of evidence were extensive and implicating, beyond Shangguan Yun’s expectations.

"Even the Mighty General was implicated." Enemies can never hurt you as much as the betrayal of your loved ones.

Shangguan Yun murmured, "The Mighty General was my uncle’s subordinate and once taught Xuanyuan Sheng martial arts. Who would have thought he burned down the Xuanyuan Family’s granary for his own interests?"

Because the crime of treason is real. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
