Chapter 1128

"Yushu, what do you want to do?"

Looking at Yushu holding the short knife against her throat, Yi Xiaochuan panicked for the first time in his life.

The Queen of Tu'an's heart also skipped a beat, and she said to Yushu in a sharp tone, "Yu'er, put the knife down!"

However, Yushu, who had always been obedient to her mother, did not put down the knife this time.

She looked at Yi Xiaochuan and her mother and said in a deep voice, "Earlier, I told Xiaochuan how wonderful it would be if I weren't the Princess of Tu'an. Just now, Xiaochuan also said similar words to me."

"Yes, how wonderful it would be if I were just an ordinary person!"

"Without having to worry about the country and the world, without being caught in a dilemma..."

"Yushu, don't be like this, put the knife down quickly."

As Yushu said this, her hand still held the short knife against her throat. Yi Xiaochuan was extremely panicked and subconsciously wanted to rush toward Yushu to take the knife from her hand.

However, before he got close, Yushu's voice sounded suddenly, "Don't come over!"

Yi Xiaochuan's footsteps paused.

The Queen of Tu'an, hearing Yushu's words, did not persuade Yushu to put down the knife, but chose to continue scolding Yushu, "Yu'er, you have disappointed me too much."

"I thought that after you came to the Qin Guo, you didn't do as much as we had instructed you to do—inciting internal struggle in the Qin Guo and throwing it into chaos—because you were not proficient in court politics, didn't understand schemes, and were too simple-minded."

"As a result, I didn't expect you to have such a cowardly character."

"What do you mean by 'how wonderful it would be if you weren't the Princess of Tu'an'? Being the Princess of Tu'an is your destiny; you cannot escape it, nor can you avoid it. At the same time, since you are the Princess of Tu'an, you must think for the people of Tu'an."

"Escaping is not the way to solve the problem."

"Today, either you promise me that for the sake of Tu'an, you will harm the Qin Guo, or you swing the knife in your hand down."

"I want to see if you have the courage!"

"Queen!" Yi Xiaochuan, hearing this, looked at the Queen of Tu'an abruptly. He never expected that as Yushu's mother, the Queen of Tu'an, seeing Yushu holding a knife to her throat, not only didn't persuade or stop her, but instead instigated her here.

The Queen of Tu'an ignored Yi Xiaochuan. As her daughter, she knew Yushu's character too well.

Back in Tu'an, she seemed tough, but in reality, Yushu's character was extremely weak.

She didn't believe Yushu had the courage to commit suicide.

The so-called suicide with a knife was just a way to use her life as a threat to force her to stop pressing Yi Xiaochuan.

'For the sake of your lover, you are indeed ruthless, but unfortunately, these things are not something you can escape.'

The Queen of Tu'an said in her heart.

Hearing her mother's words, Yushu hesitated, but the next moment, seeing the painful Yi Xiaochuan and the cold mother, she thought of her mother again. She didn't put down the knife; instead, the knife pressed closer to her skin.

The knife in Yushu's hand was a birthday gift from her childhood, extremely sharp. As the blade approached her throat, scarlet blood immediately seeped out.

Yi Xiaochuan noticed all this keenly and became even more panicked.

The Queen of Tu'an's heart also panicked, but on the surface, she pretended to be tough, "Good, is it that I was too gentle in the past, or have you learned to be rebellious after coming to Xianyang?"

As she spoke, she actually took out a knife from her person.

Holding this knife against her own throat.

"Since you can give up your country and your life for a man, and are willing to discard your life to escape responsibility, I want to see if you can really discard everything."

"Either put down the knife in your hand and, as we agreed, obediently go and destroy the Qin Guo, or watch me die before your eyes!"

Yushu's voice was cold as she looked at her mother, who was also holding a knife to her throat, "Mother, are you threatening me?"

"I'm just telling you the reality!"

"If you still have the slightest thought for me as your mother, or for the people of Tu'an, at this time, what you should be thinking about is not escaping. Your life should not be wasted on an insignificant man, but used for the country of Tu'an."

Earlier, the Queen of Tu'an had been in favor of Yushu and Yi Xiaochuan being in love, because Yi Xiaochuan was Meng Tian's younger brother. If he could become their help, he could help them better harm the Qin Guo.

But now, the Queen of Tu'an finally revealed her true face.

In her words, Yi Xiaochuan was an insignificant man.

All these changes were because Yushu was actually willing to threaten her with death for the sake of Yi Xiaochuan.

"Is that so?"

Yushu only said two words.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, the knife in her hand slashed across.

Scarlet blood gushed out, and in an instant, it splashed onto Yi Xiaochuan and the Queen of Tu'an.

"Yushu!!!"

Yi Xiaochuan's exclamation sounded suddenly. After Yushu slashed with the knife, he rushed toward Yushu quickly.

As Yushu fell to the ground, he supported her body, then hurriedly covered the wound on Yushu's throat with his other hand. Unfortunately, relying on his palm alone could not stop the blood from overflowing.

Yushu's face became extremely pale in an instant.

She looked at Yi Xiaochuan, who was close at hand, wanting to say something, but the words ultimately didn't come out. Thus, before passing away, she gave Yi Xiaochuan a bleak and beautiful smile.

After the smile, her eyes slowly closed.

"No!!!"

Yi Xiaochuan's exclamation echoed in the night sky, echoed in this palace, and then spread outward.

At this moment, he didn't care if the matter between him and Yushu would be discovered.
