You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1149 (Fool)

"Why doesn't Ye Ye see me? Why, Gong Yue?"

Gong Yue said solemnly, "Yi Yi, originally, I didn't plan to tell you about this, but seeing both of you in such pain, I couldn't bear it in my heart."

"What happened?"

"Yi Yi, the Emperor now believes that you are a spy! Intentionally wasting the Empress Dowager's medicine!" Gong Yue spoke in a low voice, tightly holding Yi Yi's hand, as if trying to convey not to take it to heart. However, it also seemed like a subtle suggestion – suggesting that Ye Juetian didn't see her because of this.

"No! I'm no spy, Gong Yue, you have to believe me. I'm not a spy." Yi Yi suddenly became anxious, her pleading eyes as if grasping at the last straw.

"Gong Yue, does Ye Ye not believe me?" Yi Yi nervously asked.

"Yi Yi, this matter involves Juetian's mother. You should understand that the Emperor has evidence."

Yi Yi felt a bit overwhelmed, holding her head and murmuring, "I'm not a spy... I really am not a spy... I wasted the Empress Dowager's medicine, but I'm really not a spy."

"Yi Yi, don't do this. It pains me to see you like this," Gong Yue gently hugged Yi Yi, wearing a smug smile on her face.

"Gong Yue, what should I do? What should I do?"

Gong Yue showed a face that seemed like she wanted to say something but found it difficult.

"Please, Gong Yue, tell me. What should I do? I don't want Ye Ye to misunderstand me. I can endure everything, but I don't want Ye Ye to misunderstand me," Yi Yi pleaded.

"Yi Yi, as long as the Emperor believes you, everyone else will believe you."

"What if I go to see the Emperor?"

"Yi Yi, even I can't see the Emperor. If you go, won't it be seeking death?"

"Then what should I do? Is there any way to see the Emperor?" Yi Yi urgently asked.

Gong Yue continued, "Yi Yi, I didn't want to say this because it's dangerous, you know?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll explain no matter how dangerous it is," Yi Yi asserted. She couldn't let Ye Ye think she was a spy.

Gong Yue sighed softly, "In a few days, it will be my and Juetian's wedding. At that time, the Emperor and the leaders of various forces will be present. It's your best opportunity. The Emperor will definitely not harm you on that day, and you'll have a chance to explain."

If Yi Yi were a bit smarter, she would have realised it was a trap. It was not just about disrupting the wedding; it was about humiliating Ye Hua.

At this moment, Yi Yi only thought about explaining that she was not a spy and didn't consider that Gong Yue might be plotting against her. This reasoning was sufficient for the situation to escalate because only when things got bigger would they be taken seriously.

"I... I'll do it your way." Yi Yi hesitated.

Gong Yue smiled faintly, "Yi Yi, your innocence is more important than my wedding. After you clear your name, Juetian and I will be very happy."

Yi Yi was deeply moved, tightly embracing Gong Yue, "Gong Yue, you're so good to me, I will definitely remember you."

'Fool,' Gong Yue thought, a sinister smile playing on her lips. 'You're such a fool. Let's see how you die'

"Yi Yi, but I want you to understand one thing. Because of your relationship, Juetian is in a very dangerous situation." Gong Yue's words were another form of suggestion, implying that if Yi Yi didn't die, Juetian's life would never be safe!

Yi Yi didn't catch this layer of meaning, but she understood that her presence caused trouble for Ye Ye and might endanger more people.

She felt like a star of calamity, unwelcome wherever she went, often making mistakes.

If possible, she wished she could die!

Since she chose to explain on that day, if she couldn't clarify, she'd die with honour! She was not a spy!

"Gong Yue, do you have that kind of medicine?" Yi Yi asked in a low voice.

Gong Yue was pleased; she didn't expect Yi Yi to be so foolish, but it was good, as it followed her plan.

"What are you saying, Yi Yi?" Gong Yue pretended to be innocent.

"I mean the kind of medicine that, when taken, will cause death," Yi Yi said calmly. If dying could prove her innocence, she was willing to do it. At least in Ye Ye's heart, she wasn't a spy but a silly and naive woman.

"Gong Yue, do you have such medicine?" Yi Yi asked.

Gong Yue continued to feign shock, "Yi Yi, are you out of your mind? I don't have that kind of medicine."

"Gong Yue..." Yi Yi softly called and then knelt in front of Gong Yue, making Gong Yue feel satisfied. This little maid dared to compete with her for a man. Let's see how she will die.

"Yi Yi, what are you doing? Quickly get up." Gong Yue hurried to help her, but Yi Yi wouldn't get up.

"Gong Yue, I beg you. I know you have it. Please give it to me."

Gong Yue wouldn't give it directly; she had to at least put on a show, be polite for a sentence or two.

"No, if others find out that I gave you the medicine, I..." Gong Yue pretended to hesitate.

"Gong Yue, I swear today's conversation between us, I won't reveal a word of it. Even if I die, I won't!" Yi Yi solemnly promised.

"Gong Yue, if... if something happens to me, take good care of Juetian. I don't want to be a despicable person in his heart. I beg you!" Yi Yi said, kowtowing.

But Gong Yue didn't stop her immediately; she enjoyed Yi Yi's kowtowing, feeling so comfortable!

"Stop, stop, I'll give it to you." After enjoying it enough, Gong Yue acted as if it was hard to agree.

But Yi Yi squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, Gong Yue."

Gong Yue took out a crystal-clear pill and said in a deep voice, "This pill will let you die without pain."

But in Gong Yue's mind, this was the Soul-Severing Pill. After taking it, everything would vanish, even the soul would dissipate, disappearing from this world completely, without a trace even in the afterlife.

Yi Yi gently took the pill, placing it in her palm, feeling its coldness.

"Gong Yue, thank you so much. You've helped me a lot."

Gong Yue patted Yi Yi's shoulder, "Yi Yi, I will always help you. I will arrange things for you when the time comes."

"Okay..." Yi Yi nodded, tightly holding the pill.

"Yi Yi, it's already late. I'll leave now, or I might be discovered. I can't afford the blame later."

"Gong Yue, remember my words, take good care of Ye Ye."

"Fool, nothing will happen to you," Gong Yue smiled faintly and then disappeared.
