Chapter 7: Volume 1, Chapter 7: Chen Feng Is Like a Big Bad Wolf

Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Yun Qiyue didn't retreat at all, only saying: "Do you dare to swear to the heavens that there is really a body in the coffin, and that the body is really Yun Qiyue?"

Yun Jiande: "..." He didn't dare.

The Yun family members also avoided Yun Qiyue's gaze one by one.

They didn't dare to swear either, because they had only judged Yun Qiyue to be dead after she broke into the Forbidden Land.

Seeing the Yun family's reaction, Yun Qiyue wasn't surprised at all.

After all, people in this era believed in gods, and no one dared to swear easily.

For a time, the scene was silent.

Just when everyone thought Yun Qiyue was going to strike while the iron was hot, Yun Qiyue turned and left.

Everyone: "..." What kind of operation is this?

Could it be that she felt guilty?

The onlookers only felt that Yun Qiyue's turning around was out of guilt, but the Yun family members didn't think so.

Looking at Yun Qiyue's back, the Yun family instinctively felt a sense of unease.

"You... where are you going?" Xu Shi couldn't help but speak.

Yun Qiyue didn't look back, but answered, "Enter the palace, see the Emperor."

Hearing Yun Qiyue say this, let alone Xu Shi, even the Yun family members were all stunned.

Three years ago, just after Yun Tian died in battle, not long after, Yun Qiyue had her accident.

The Emperor, in order to show his gratitude for Yun Tian's great contributions, specifically issued an edict stating that in the future, if Yun Qiyue encountered trouble, she could enter the palace to see the Emperor, and everything would be decided by the Emperor for her.

Even though Yun Qiyue was a fool at the time, no one took those words seriously. After all, how could a fool enter the palace to see the Emperor?

But, after all, it was the Emperor's golden words. What if Yun Qiyue really succeeded in seeing the Emperor?

There was no one in the coffin; the Yun family members all knew this.

And Xu Shi, she knew very well what was going on with Yun Qiyue breaking into the Forbidden Land.

If the Emperor really decided for her, then today's matter...

Xu Shi looked at the equally anxious Yun Yarou, gritted her teeth, and said, "Stop!"

Yun Qiyue didn't stop, continuing forward.

Seeing that Yun Qiyue was about to pass through the crowd, Xu Shi spoke again: "Yun Qiyue, you stop."

As soon as Xu Shi said this, everyone looked at Xu Shi.

Yun Yaxiang was a slip of the tongue, but this Xu Shi was the mistress of the Yun family; she couldn't be a slip of the tongue too, right?

Xu Shi naturally felt those gazes cast at her, but she pretended not to see them. Her eyes stared straight at Yun Qiyue until Yun Qiyue turned around and met Yun Qiyue's pair of smiling eyes. Xu Shi's face looked a bit uglier.

Before Yun Qiyue could speak, Xu Shi asked, "You say you are Yun Qiyue, but do you have evidence to prove it?"

Xu Shi still wanted to struggle, so she threw the question Yun Qiyue had previously thrown at them back at Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue shrugged and said very simply, "No!"

The easiest and hardest thing in the world is "proving that I am me." Why waste the effort?

So, Yun Qiyue was all smiles. "So I want to enter the palace to see the Emperor. The Emperor is wise; he will definitely have a way to prove my identity."

Saying this, she seemed to have just remembered and said, "By the way, the Emperor should invite a coroner to see who is lying in the coffin. I believe the Emperor will definitely not let the Yun family's bloodline be confused."

The Yun family: "..."

Suddenly, they felt like they were riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

If they admitted Yun Qiyue's identity, the previous actions would be like slapping their own faces.

If they didn't admit Yun Qiyue's identity, if Yun Qiyue could really call the Emperor, where would they find a corpse as ugly as Yun Qiyue?

They had only calculated that Yun Qiyue was mentally disabled and helpless, and no one would stand up for her, so even the coffin was empty. How could they have imagined that such a thing would happen today?

Yun Qiyue looked at the Yun family's ugly faces and turned to leave.

Just then, a carriage stopped right in front of Yun Qiyue.

Driving the carriage was Chen Feng, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes.

Chen Feng looked at Yun Qiyue's face and clicked his tongue a few times in his heart.

From afar, she was very ugly; up close, she was still very ugly. He didn't know what kind of mood his master was in when he was "bullied."

However, his master didn't kill her after being "bullied" by this woman, and even called him to come forward and help. Presumably, for his master, this third young lady Yun was also special, right?

Forget it, forget it. At least she was a female... daughter, better than his master suddenly finding him a man or a neither-man-nor-woman as a mistress in the future, right?

After some brain-filling, Chen Feng straightened his expression, looked at Yun Qiyue with eyes like a big bad wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood, and said, "If the third young lady Yun wants to enter the palace, I can give you a ride."

Yun Qiyue heard this and looked at Chen Feng with vigilance. She always felt that this Chen Feng had ulterior motives, like a big bad wolf.

Besides, nothing is free in this world.

It was just that before Yun Qiyue could say a refusal, the Yun family behind her became anxious.

Yun Yarou, who hadn't spoken, rushed forward one step, "Qiyue..."

Yun Qiyue turned back and looked at Yun Yarou, but clearly saw a trace of urgency in her eyes.

This was... afraid that she would agree to the person's request?

Yun Qiyue was right. At this moment, Yun Yarou was truly afraid that Yun Qiyue would enter the palace.

Especially, following Chen Feng, the guard beside the Regent, into the palace.

If she really followed the person beside the Regent into the palace, wouldn't everything she had done...

No!

Absolutely couldn't let such a thing happen, otherwise if everything she had done was investigated by the Regent, it would be difficult for her to become the Crown Princess again.

Compared to that, admitting that the person in front of her was Yun Qiyue didn't seem like a big deal.

Since she could deal with Yun Qiyue once, she could definitely have a next time.

Thinking of this, Yun Yarou stepped forward excitedly, "Third sister, it's really you. It's really great that you're okay."

Saying this, Yun Yarou went to hug Yun Qiyue, but Yun Qiyue was impatient with the sisterly drama and dodged it.

Missing her target, Yun Yarou's expression froze for a moment, and she was extremely embarrassed.

But soon Yun Yarou took a deep breath to adjust, and looked at Yun Qiyue pitifully, "Qiyue, are you blaming sister?"

Yun Qiyue looked at Yun Yarou with interest, didn't speak, and just watched Yun Yarou act.

Once, Yun Yarou had deceived the original owner like this again and again, so even if she did something bad to the original owner, the original owner would still choose to forgive her.

Being looked at by Yun Qiyue with that kind of gaze, Yun Yarou felt as if she were about to be seen through. Her heart panicked, but she had to continue, "Qiyue, sister admits that I didn't watch you well and let you break into the Forbidden Land, but that is the Forbidden Land, I really had no way... I thought you were dead, so I came back to tell father and mother to hold this funeral for you."

Yun Yarou's words seemed to settle the cause and effect, and also explained why she didn't recognize Yun Qiyue and thought Yun Qiyue was fake.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Yarou said this, someone in the crowd gasped.

"Heavens!"

"This Yun Qiyue actually dared to break into the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Night Pavilion? Doesn't she want to live?"

"That is, who in this capital, or rather the entire Donglin Kingdom, doesn't know that no one who enters the Forbidden Land can come out alive? Now only a fool would dare to enter the Forbidden Land, right?"

"Not to mention, it seems she really was a fool..."

The fool Yun Qiyue: "..."

Yun Yarou was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued to look pitiful, "Third sister, don't blame father and mother, okay? After all, no one expected that you could really come out of the Forbidden Land, and..."

"And not be a fool anymore, right?" Yun Qiyue looked at Yun Yarou with a half-smile.

Yun Yarou was explaining, apologizing, and admitting her identity on the surface, but secretly, she was shifting the blame onto herself.

She had reason to believe that if she were fooled like this today and followed Yun Yarou into the General's Mansion, her name as an impostor would be confirmed.

After all, no one believed that someone could enter the Forbidden Land and come back alive, and that a trip to the Forbidden Land could turn a fool into a non-fool.

And at this time, even if everyone discovered there was no body in the coffin, no one would suspect the Yun family, after all, no one dared to go to the Forbidden Land to collect the body.

What a move of advancing by retreating.

Yun Yarou looked at Yun Qiyue's half-smiling eyes, her heart trembling, but her face was helpless, "Third sister, I... if you really blame me for not going into the Forbidden Land to save you, then hit me, if you can vent your anger..."
