Because of the Retired Emperor’s trust and reliance on her, the Yu Family treated her like a treasure, and over the years she received her fair share of gold, silver, and jewels from them.
She dared to assert that if anything happened to her in Ying City, the Yu Family would definitely not spare the person in front of her.
No matter how much this person might have gained the Emperor’s favor, they wouldn’t escape a grim fate.
"The Yu Family?"
Gong Jian raised an eyebrow.
He had almost forgotten about this matter. On the day he returned to the capital, he heard news that the entire Yu Family had been exterminated in one night.
And the one who exterminated the Yu Family was precisely soone sent by the Retired Emperor.
"I forgot to inform Dowager Consort Yu that before I left the capital, the Yu Family was already annihilated, and the person who did it was under the Retired Emperor’s command. It’s news well-known throughout the capital."
He didn’t mind sharing what the Retired Emperor did with this person who was about to die, so Dowager Consort Yu could at least cry for her parents and family.
"What did you say?!"
Dowager Consort Yu widened her eyes abruptly.
The Yu Family was exterminated? How is this possible? The Retired Emperor’s greatest support was the Yu Family, and they were the ones who supported him the most. How could they be exterminated?
"You’re lying! The Retired Emperor would never do such a thing, it must be the Emperor, it must be... No, it’s you, you’re deceiving , aren’t you?"
She couldn’t believe the Yu Family would be annihilated; such a large family, not just a few cats and dogs, how could they be destroyed?
"Lord Gong, did the Retired Emperor truly annihilate the entire Yu Family?"
The secret guard, upon hearing Gong Jian’s words, also widened his eyes in disbelief.
On a normal day, he would never interrupt, but hearing the news of the Yu Family’s annihilation shocked him imnsely.
How could it be possible? The Yu Family was considered one of the Retired Emperor’s supports in the capital. Though one among many, it was no small support, and to say they were annihilated so easily?
"Yes."
Gong Jian nodded his head.
He raised his eyes, looking at Dowager Consort Yu, his mind forming an idea.
Although he didn’t know why the Retired Emperor annihilated the Yu Family, there must be the Emperor’s involvent, and the reason that could make the Retired Emperor destroy the Yu Family in a fit of anger, even sacrificing his own considerable forces, must be significant.
The Yu Family didn’t commit any cri. The only possibility was Dowager Consort Yu.
"Dowager Consort Yu, you really have two good sons," he said ominously.
"You..."
Dowager Consort Yu wasn’t a fool. What else was there she couldn’t understand?
It was her recruiting young n and giving birth to two sons in Ying City that the Retired Emperor found out about, which brought about the Yu Family’s doom, right?
But hadn’t everything been peaceful for years? How was it suddenly found out?
This made her think of Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue. It must have been their doing. Without them, would the useless officials of Ying City dare to spread the news?
"Prince Zhan, Prince An Yang!"
What did the Yu Family do to offend them, to warrant wiping them out completely?
If they had grievances, they should have directed them at her. Why did it have to lead to the extermination of the Yu Family? That was her greatest support!
Without the Yu Family, even if she returned to the capital, she would be abandoned by the Retired Emperor. After all, the Retired Emperor had many sons and wouldn’t always favor her son.
