"Have you checked everyone here?"

His gaze swept over the people present, sharp and not half warm.

"Your Highness, they have all been checked, and no suspicious people have been found."

A moment later, Shen Cheng brought people back, saying that no one else had been found in the stable, and that everyone in the Wanhua Building had already gathered here.

He wants to bet once, Xiao Zhengzi is here, he doesn't believe that she will not appear.

Nangong Jue's footsteps moved, first sweeping over each woman's face, and then across their stomachs.

Most of the women did not dare to look directly at the prince's gaze, and some of them were bold, and they couldn't help but start to play in front of him, hoping to get the prince's attention.

It's a pity that none of them can get into his eyes, and the princess Yun Qicheng, who was known as the first beauty in Daegu, couldn't get into his eyes, how can these vulgar fans compare with his bells?

Among the women, except for the old grandmother's fat waist and a big belly, she no longer looks like a person who is five or six months pregnant, after all, this belly cannot be covered.

After looking at all the women, his heart was already half hanging because she was not in it.

When he looked at the men again, he had lost his patience.

Didn't she make him wait enough?

Before, in order to gain Yun Aotian's trust, he had to have close contacts with Yun Aotian, every time she was close to him, but he couldn't get close, later, she simply married and went to a foreign country, so many years of waiting, his heart was like soaking in a boiling oil pot, tormenting over and over, he couldn't wait.

Without looking at those men again, too lazy to distinguish her disguise, he glanced at Xiao Zhengzi who fell to the ground, and his angry voice echoed throughout the Wanhua Building:

"Lin Ling'er, listen, I know you're here, if you don't come out, I'll kill all the people here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was frightened, the men sweated, the women shed tears, and there were bursts of crying in the Wanhua Building for a while.

"Shut up!"

Nangong shouted angrily, and the noisy voice immediately quieted down,

"I know you care about Xiao Zhengzi, this time, I won't touch him, if you want these innocent people to bleed for you, then just avoid me, hide!"

No matter how nice the voice is, when these words are spoken, they become extremely vicious and terrifying.

Xiao Zhengzi suddenly opened her eyes, if Ling'er knew that so many people died because of her, how could she live in peace?

He struggled and said:

"Nangong Jue, don't waste your efforts, Ling'er, she is not here at all!"

Xiao Zhengzi's words aroused Nangong Jue's interest, and he approached him and stared at his eyes, as if hoping to see some flaws in his eyes.

"Where is she?"

His voice softened suddenly.

Xiao Zhengzi rolled his eyes and said:

"I don't know where she is, we're separated, and now she's probably out of town, what's the use of you just messing around in this one place? If you have this time, you might as well go to other places to find ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on Nangong Jue's lips, and he was almost certain that Lin Ling'er was here.

If not, how could Xiao Zhengzi incite him to go somewhere else?

"You reminded me ......"

He said triumphantly, then turned around, and without looking, he pinched a woman within reach,

"Ling'er, she will be the first to shed blood for you!"

The woman screamed in fright, her face was pale, she was paralyzed to the ground, and muttered in a trance, "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life", and her soul is no longer possessed.

However, Nangong Jue did not immediately pull out the sword, his movements were very slow, very slow, holding the scabbard in his hand, his eyes kept jumping and shuttling in the Wanhua Tower, looking forward to the moment he dropped the sword, Lin Ling'er would take the initiative to stand up.

He knew her too well, he seemed to be a big person, but he was reluctant to step on even an ant to death, she wouldn't watch a living person fall to the ground for her.

"Nangong Jue, Ling'er, she is really not here, when did you become so confused, think about it, if one day she knew that you killed someone for her, would she still forgive you? There is already an irreparable rift between you, do you want to expand it? ”

At this time, Xiao Zhengzi was so anxious that he blurted out that if someone here died because of her, not only would she be sad, but he would not forgive himself, if he hadn't been caught, such a tragedy would not have happened.

Nangong Jue didn't pay attention to his words at all, he knew that between them was the death of Tuoba Jiuxiao, the child of Tuoba Jiuxiao, and the death of Lin Yu'er, although she didn't know that her sister was dead now, but one day she would know, it would only widen the rift between them.

But he didn't care, if he cared, he wouldn't have come to this day step by step for her.

What if there is no way to mend the rift between them?

What if she had another man in her heart?

The one who finally owns her is him.

He loved her, and that was enough!

He would not let his father ruin her, even if he disobeyed the king's orders.

"I'll count to three, Ling'er, her life is in your hands!"

The sword was slowly drawn, and the white light jumped, flashing over the faces of many people, and finally landed on the woman's throat.

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life......"

The woman no longer knows what to do, only to cry and beg for mercy.

"One-two-"

On weekdays, at this time, Wanhualou is the most noisy and prosperous time, people come and go, endlessly, the man in the hall should be beautiful in his arms, push the cup to change the lamp, laugh, the old bustard should collect money to receive soft hands......

But today, it was so quiet that the sound of feathers falling on the ground could be heard.

Nangong Jue's deliberately elongated voice penetrated everyone's eardrums, and every sound seemed to be killing the soul, and everyone had already knelt on the ground, trembling, worried that their lives would be lost.

"Three!"

When he counted to three, his heart shook violently, because she didn't show up.

The crown prince Chrysostom must do what he says, even if he kills someone, he must kill this woman today!

The rage swallowed him like a raging wave, and he lost the bet, but she did not appear, and the wrist holding the sword lifted and swirled, and finally stabbed the woman in the throat......

"Stop!"

As the tip of the sword slashed the woman's neck, an angry voice rang out.

He shook his hand, and finally put away the sword, and the woman who was stabbed also fainted in fright.

Slowly raising his eyes, following the direction of the sound, he looked inch by inch, and at the end of the hall, at the small door leading to the backyard, there was a person standing.

Her complexion was very bad, her face was stained with mud, her hair was messy, she wore only a white middle coat and a cape, and her voice was still so beautiful, but it was wrapped in anger and weakness.

Such a wolf bèi she, instantly defeated him, it turned out that he won, but why did his heart hurt so much?

In order to escape him, she would rather become such a wolf bèi, why, can't she give him a chance?

Xiao Zhengzi struggled to look at Lin Ling'er and silently shed tears.

"Ling'er...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

He sobbed,

"It's all because of me, last time, if it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't have been arrested, and this time, it's because of my ......"

Xiao Zhengzi cried uncontrollably, but Lin Ling'er walked towards him.

Although everyone was very curious about who the woman the prince was looking for, no one dared to look up at her, and could only catch a glimpse of a pair of slender ankles with the peripheral eyes of their eyes, and walked steadily towards the little eunuch in the middle step by step.

She squatted down, and didn't even ask if Nangong Jue could, so she helped Xiao Zhengzi untie the rope.

Xiao Zhengzi got up from the ground, knelt in front of Lin Ling'er, and wept silently:

"Ling'er, it's me who has caused you to ...... Woo......"

If Lin Ling'er is taken away by Nangong Jue this time, I am afraid that there will be less luck, and it is precisely because he knows this that he can't forgive himself.

He thought of something, and even knelt down in front of Nangong Jue, tugging at the corner of his robe, and begged desperately:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I beg you, let Ling'er go...... The lord of the country has agreed to her giving birth to this child, not to mention that she is now Ye Shangshu's goddaughter, if you want to take her away, wait until she gives birth to the child, okay? I beg you, I beg you......"

He kowtowed to Nangong Jue, one after another, banging, kowtowing to the point of bleeding, as long as he could save the child in Ling'er's belly, let him do anything.

"Giving birth to a child?"

Nangong Jue sneered,

"Will I be able to see her when she gives birth?"

No one knows what will happen when she gives birth to a child, if the kingdom will execute her, if she abandons her son and flees, if she goes with Tuoba Jiuxiao...... There are so many possibilities that he can't wait for that day.

This was said to Lin Ling'er, because he didn't need to explain it to a eunuch at all.

Lin Ling'er came over distressedly to stop Xiao Zhengzi from continuing to kowtow, and never looked at Nangong Jue.

With a "sting", she tore off a piece of cloth from her middle coat, wrapped it around Xiao Zhengzi's head, and said while tying it:

"Xiao Zhengzi, you go, don't follow me anymore."

Xiao Zhengzi was stunned:

"Ling'er, what do you mean, what do you mean? Do you think I'm a problem to you? ”

"No, I'm the one who bothered you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today, maybe you're still working as an errand boy for the queen in the palace, maybe you've already become the chief steward. It's my bad guy who shouldn't have involved you. ”

Her voice was flat, neither angry, nor joyful, nor sad, and the great changes that had taken place here today, although they were stupefied, were nothing more than a farce to her.

"Ling'er?"

"So, you go, if you continue like this, I'm really afraid that one day I will kill you."

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and her gaze rested softly on his face,

"You are my best friend, my only confidant in this world, I don't want you to have anything to do, I want you to live well. It's good to be alive. ”

"Woo......"

Xiao Zhengzi can't stand it, he is a eunuch, what does it mean to leave her to live in this world? He has no relatives, no friends, she is the only one for him.

"Ling'er, don't you want me, leave you, where do you let me go?"
