Jiang Tao could not dodge in time and was knocked to the ground. Blood flowed from his forehead.

He was already seriously injured, and now that he was injured again, the dizziness finallv passed. What was left was waves of weakness.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked in disbelief at the person standing in front of him, looking down at him.

At this moment, Madam Yu no longer looked regretful and pitiful.

She threw away the stool in a panic and roared with trembling hands, “Why aren’t you dead? Since you’re not dead, why did you come to the lord’s residence? You shouldn’t have come.’

The lord’s residence was now filled with spies from the palace. Once this person appeared, all her plans might be disrupted.

If her relationship with Jiang Tao was exposed..

“No, that won’t happen. There must be a way to remedy it.” she thought.

Jiang Tao struggled a few times but could not get up, so he simply gave up. Looking at Madam Yu, who was flustered and at a loss, he sneered. “That’s right, why didn’t I die? The people from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets couldn’t kill me. Aren’t you curious?”

He did not know why he came. It was because of the anger of the Jiang family being exterminated. He probably also wanted to ask if this woman had ever been sincere to him.

Madam Yu was stunned. “What do you mean?”

It was not that she was not curious, but Jiang Tao’s appearance was too sudden, causing her to be distracted for a moment.

Jiang Tao did not answer, mainly because he did not understand.

In case he made too many mistakes and made Madam Yu suspicious, it was better not to say anything.

The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, “Do you really think that you can continue to be Princess Consort Jing’an without any worries after killing me and His Highness? Don’t forget that there’s still someone with the surname Shen.”

“What nonsense are you talking about…” Madam Yu opened her mouth to deny that she had attacked Xuanyuan Ce, but when she met Jiang Tao’s eyes, she felt that there was no need. She understood Jiang Tao, but how could Jiang Tao not understand her?

She sneered. “The Shen family is about to die anyway. Including that woman, none of them will survive.”

As long as they waited for one more day, as long as these people died…

Yes, as long as they were all dead!

From the corner of her eye, she saw the needlework basket at the side. Madam Yu suddenly tore open her clothes and messed up her hair.

After doing all this, she picked up the scissors in the sewing basket and squatted down in front of Jiang Tao. She said with a trembling voice, “Don’t blame me. Everything I did was for Ye’er. She’s your daughter. If anything happens to me, no one will protect her in the future. You must want her to be fine. You don’t want anything to happen to her, right?”

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the scissors and stabbed at Jiang Tao’s neck.

Bang! The door was suddenly kicked open.

The loud noise made Madam Yu tremble. She subconsciously looked up and saw who it was. Her pupils constricted.

Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. The scissors fell to the ground with a clang, and this crisp sound quickly brought Madam Yu back to her senses.

She sat on the ground as if all her strength had been sucked out of her. She said with an ashamed expression, “Your Majesty, he…”

She wanted to say that Jiang Tao had ill intentions towards her and that she had killed someone to protect herself. After all, this was an excuse she had planned from the beginning.

However, when she saw Xuanyuan Ye enter behind Xuanyuan Qi, she suddenly couldn’t speak.

Normally, Ye’er would definitely rush over and pounce on her. However, she didn’t. Why didn’t she?

Madam Yu closed her eyes, unwilling to think about that possibility.

“Madam Yu, where is my second brother?”
