The rest went as smoothly as expected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The jade pot really listened to the young man's words, and under the pretext of going out to buy with other maidservants, he hurried to the shop selling flat tans in the north of the city non-stop, for fear that if he was one step too late, he would not be able to deal with the matter before the group of people from the palace arrived.
didn't know that Cheng Jinzhi had already taken the people of the Jin Wangfu to ambush here, just waiting for her to show her original form, so that she could catch turtles in an urn.
As a result, he mistakenly took Xunmei, who was similar to Bingxin's body, as his jade pot and continued to carry out the evil thoughts to the end, although he hesitated halfway, he finally put his heart ruthlessly, and picked up the hemp rope that was put aside while he was unprepared.
It's just that just when she wrapped the rope around Xunmei's neck and wanted to strangle her, she was caught red-handed without any suspense.
Cheng Jinzhi will never forget the scene when she thought she was about to succeed in her treacherous scheme, but she was suddenly drawn by someone who appeared out of nowhere.
Especially after seeing Cheng Jinzhi appear in front of her with a smile, she had a desperate expression on her face.
"Since I was caught by you, I have nothing to say, if I want to kill or chop, listen to you. ”
The jade pot was brought to Cheng Jinzhi with his hands tied behind his back, and he knelt down with a calm face and reluctantly, and the whole person was like two people from his demeanor to his tone when he came to admit his mistake before, so that Cheng Jinzhi had to admire her acting skills in her heart.
"It seems that you are quite tough, and you can pretend to be quite good. ”
Cheng Jinzhi said lightly, and there was no gloom in his eyes. She leaned forward and approached the jade pot, and when she saw her face stiffly clenching her teeth, she looked at death as if she were at home, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"But do you think that if you are so loyal, your master, oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will be grateful to you and sing praises to you in his heart?"
As soon as he heard Cheng Jinzhi mention the crown prince, the eyes of the jade pot flickered a few times, and he hurriedly turned his face around, pretending to be unaware.
"What is the crown prince? What is the princess talking about? All this is done by myself, and has nothing to do with anyone else. ”
"Really?"
Cheng Jinzhi snorted coldly, leaned down to look at the jade pot with loose eyes, and suddenly sank his face.
"Should I pity you for being stupid, or should I hate you for being so femme fatale?"
When he said the second half of the sentence, Cheng Jinzhi's tone suddenly increased, and every inch of his gaze was pressed step by step, seeing that the jade pot was frightened, he hurriedly looked away.
"Bingxin was willing to believe that you didn't cheat on her until she died, and what about you, what did you do?"
Seeing that the jade pot lowered her head and did not answer, her face showed a faint sadness, knowing that her heart was shaken, she was ready to take advantage of the situation to push the boat down the river.
"Okay, since you want to die so much, I will fulfill you. However, this way of dying will not be very pleasant. ”
Cheng Jinzhi pretended to be fierce and said, and then casually greeted Taxue Xunmei beside him: "Cut her tongue for me, see if she dares to speak without words and confuse the public." ”
Just as Cheng Jinzhi said this, the body of the jade pot trembled significantly. When Taxue stood in front of her with the scissors, cold sweat was already on her forehead, and even her lips began to tremble unconsciously.
She was scared.
No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring what he just said, the jade pot at this moment has become weak and has no momentum.
Cheng Jinzhi secretly gave Treadxue a look, then turned his head to make a deliberate avoidance, and even raised his hand to cover his face with his sleeve and deliberately threatened: "You two have clean hands and feet, don't splash blood on me." ”
As soon as he heard Cheng Jinzhi's words, even the guards who came to arrest him around him were a little unbearable for a while, and they turned their faces sideways and didn't dare to face this bloody scene.
"It's painful, but I can only ask you to endure it. ”
Because her hands and feet were tied, the jade pot didn't even have a chance to escape, so she could only be held by Xunmei with a trembling head, and her mouth was broken open by stepping on the snow, watching her slowly stretch the scissors to her tongue, her eyes showed deep fear, and her back was already soaked with cold sweat.
"Help!"
Seeing that the scissors were about to pierce his mouth in an instant, with a muffled but hoarse cry resounding throughout the room, the whole person of the jade pot began to struggle desperately, his red eyes were filled with tears of fear, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next second.
"It seems that you are still afraid of death. ”
Cheng Jinzhi made a pause gesture and turned around, looked at the jade pot that had been frightened to the point of being ownerless, and sighed lightly and tightened his face.
After pondering for a while, seeing that her complexion had eased slightly, she said unhurriedly: "I heard that there is a deaf brother and a mother who has been bedridden all the year round in your hometown. ”
Seeing that the jade pot lowered his eyes and looked forbearing, and his eyes were filled with a burst of longing, he continued: "I don't know what benefits the prince gave you to make you so desperate. But if you can confess truthfully, I can promise you a sum of money to send you out of the capital and reunite with your mother. ”
"You... You're not going to kill me?"
Hearing this, Yuju's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Jinzhi, almost in disbelief.
"Don't you hate me for ruining your reputation?"
"I believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and people like you are not worthy of my hatred at all. ”
Cheng Jinzhi tightened his pupils, his stunned gaze fell on a distant point, stopped for a while, and said slowly.
"Maybe in your world, you can settle all grievances by killing people, but I'm not. But remember, I didn't kill you because you didn't deserve to die, I was for Bingxin's sake and let God clean you up. ”
After Cheng Jinzhi finished speaking, he looked at the miserable smile on the mouth of the jade pot, pursed the corners of his lips, and still asked the doubts in his heart.
"But I've always had a question, why didn't you choose to kill Bingxin in the palace in the first place, but you wanted to encourage her to escape?
"I can't do it. ”
After a while, the jade pot slowly raised its head, his gaze stopped in one place emptyly, and his tone was low.
"I can't just watch her die in front of me. It's just that I didn't expect that because of this moment's softness, the result was ......"
She laughed to herself, but didn't continue, but buried her head in her chest, so that people couldn't see the expression on her face at the moment.
I forgave her like this, is it right or wrong?
Cheng Jinzhi stared at the lonely and desolate figure of the jade pot kneeling on the ground and did not speak, only to feel a sour feeling somewhere in her heart, which made her a little breathless.
After a long silence, he turned around and walked out of the shop.
