Chapter 9: Clouds Loom

Ren Hongfei glanced at Zhu Changluo, who was standing coldly, and slowly swept his gaze at Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, who were contemplative on the side, and finally landed on Lady Liu, whose back and buttocks were already covered with blood.

After less than twenty strokes, one of the guards leaned over lightly and snorted, stood up and trembled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, Lady Liu can't be punished, and she has died." ”

Zhu Changluo turned to look at Pang Bao and Liu Cheng expressionlessly, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "The two fathers-in-law are satisfied." ”

Pang Bao and Liu Cheng trembled a few times, and their legs, which were almost unstable, hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave only knows, so I will retire." After that, they got up and staggered to escape from this bloody room, although they did a lot of immoral things for the tiger, but it was the first time to see a big living person being beaten to death in front of them, and the two of them couldn't help but want to turn around and rush out to vomit several times.

Zhu Changluo said coldly, with a frosty gloom in his tone: "Stop, stop." ”

The two of them trembled, almost incontinent, and stood at the same time, trembling like chaff on their four legs, Zhu Changluo slowly took two steps forward, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng wanted to go back, but the staff in the hands of the two guards blocked the way, Zhu Changluo looked at the two coldly, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and he said word by word: "Lady Liu died of a sudden illness this morning, and the two fathers-in-law came to greet her and did not see her. I will urge the execution of this person as soon as possible. The two fathers-in-law went back to explain like this, presumably the concubine would be very satisfied. ”

Pang Bao and Liu Cheng hurriedly responded: "Your Highness's meaning The servants understand that we are visiting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the front hall, and we have not come to the back room at all, and we will truthfully report His Royal Highness's filial piety to the concubine." ”

Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "Well, it's good to know, you two can go." ”

Pang Bao and Liu Cheng retreated with relief, and the warm spring breeze blew on the sweaty bodies of the two, highlighting endless coolness.

Walking out of Ciqing Palace, Liu Cheng asked tremblingly: "Is this matter reported to the concubine?" ”

Pang Bao was furious and said hatefully: "You are stupid, although the prince is not allowed to be seen by the saint, the prince is also very afraid of the concubine, that is because there is a saint behind the mother's back." But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to put us both to death, I am afraid that it will not be much more difficult than pinching two ants to death. He knew that the two of us were the cronies of the concubine, and he would definitely not be able to buy it, even if he took out the gold mountain, we didn't dare to ask for it, so he could only use Lady Liu's life to seal our mouths. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a man with his tail between his legs and has been doing nothing, and we have always thought that he is weak, bullied, cowardly and incompetent, which is really wrong. Looking at his decisive and ruthless style just now, he is a powerful character, alas, the concubine is too light on the enemy. ”

Liu Cheng said softly: "Then report according to the will of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Pang Bao hesitated for a moment: "Yes, you must say so, otherwise if the prince is in a hurry, you and I will be sandwiched between the two little people and there will be absolutely no place to be buried." ”

The two hurried away.

Lan'er in the room sobbed quietly, still didn't dare to open her eyes, but she didn't dare to make too much noise, like knocking out her front teeth and swallowing herself, whimpering lowly.

Ren Hongfei stared intently at Lady Liu, who was covered in blood on the ground, and her eyes were not closed, her eyes that had already lost their luster were filled with endless unwillingness, as if she was a regret that she could not wait for her son to marry a wife and have children, and it was a pity that she did not see her husband ascend to the throne and reign over the world, or it may be the anger of Zheng Guifei's reliance on Wanli and her domineering and lawlessness in the harem, but she did not complain about her husband's indifference and ruthlessness.

It's a pity that Ren Hongfei doesn't have her great feelings, he watched the weak woman he had always regarded as a big sister being beaten to death in front of him, and he was powerless and helpless, which made him extremely disgusted with his age for the first time, Ren Hongfei turned his head and glared at Zhu Changluo angrily, two clouds of burning anger appeared in his eyes, and he swore hatefully: "Zhu Changluo, I will definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life!" ”

Ren Hongfei has always had no affection for his nominal father, and he has seen him no more than one pair of hands every year, but Lady Liu's relative love and thoughtfulness day and night are vivid, and the blood on Ren Hongfei's body gradually cooled down, and his heart froze into ice.

Zhu Changluo walked to the door step by step, and did not turn around to look at Lady Liu, who had shared the same bed and had children for him, perhaps thirty years of trembling on thin ice had made him endlessly tired, or it could be that he had been indifferent to life and death since he was born.

"Send you to Li Xuanzhi in the west hall, and you will be restrained in a while." Zhu Changluo lightly ordered, and after the guards answered, he raised his legs and walked out of the door silently, his figure was slightly rickety in the sunset, his hair was slightly white under the afterglow, and he finally staggered through the corridor slightly, Zhu Changluo bent down suddenly, holding a thick pillar with his left hand and gasping fiercely, two tears finally dripped down, but they were immediately greedily sucked away by the dry ground. No one saw this scene.

Lan'er finally couldn't support her body and fainted on the ground, Ren Hongfei pulled away Lan'er's tightly hugged hands, stood up slightly trembling and walked in front of Lady Liu, and slowly reached out and closed Lady Liu's eyes that were still unwilling to stare at. The little hand clasped the five fingers stretched forward by Lady Liu, and the other hand gently stroked Lady Liu's bloody back, and in just a few clicks, the little hand was stained with blood and very small pieces of flesh that had not yet had time to coagulate, and the precious blood seemed to still carry a trace of temperature before Lady Liu's birth.

Ren Hongfei did not shed a single tear from beginning to end, leaned over and said in a very low voice in Lady Liu's ear: "Sister Liu, you won't throw away your life in vain, I will let many people bury you, although I have never been able to treat you as a mother, but you are my dearest person here besides Lan'er, don't worry, you won't wait for a long time..." His tone was extremely cold, as if it were a death knell from hell.

The sun had set outside, and the last rays of afterglow were obliquely shining on the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, although it was dim, it could not hide the unique royal bearing that came out of here. From time to time, a few crows flew leisurely through the air, and together with the clouds behind them that were dyed red by the setting sun, they constituted the desolate magnificence of the Forbidden City, and the Forbidden City at this time was like the glory of annihilation.

Gradually, a crescent moon crossed the delicate corner tower, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls, and the Forbidden City seemed mysterious and quiet, but a huge cloud on the horizon quickly shrouded it, making people feel that the whole palace was full of darkness and sin, and the night was deeper!
