Looking at Zhao Heng, who was breaking down and crying, Zhao Ling was naturally distressed.

This younger brother has been a troublemaker since he was a child, so he doesn't treat him very much, but when you really get along with him, you will find that his heart is very pure; seems to be a reckless master, but in fact, he never bullies the old and weak, women and children, and even occasionally encounters injustices, and will kindly intervene to take care of it.

At the beginning, Jiang Qiang made a fuss in the court after the abolition, that is, even the courtiers who had experienced a lot of winds and waves showed weakness in the limelight after the abolition, but he was the only one who dared to point at the nose of the abolished queen in the court and scold, and dared to shout to fight against unhealthy forces.

This courage and boldness is really commendable.

It was precisely because of Zhao Heng's point that Zhao Ling slowly accepted him; Unexpectedly, they wanted their brotherly relationship to rejuvenate a little, so they encountered this kind of thing.

Although he didn't understand how this stinky boy fell in love with such a woman, he understood love and feelings; If Zhao Heng's feelings for Zhou Yanran are true, then how heartbroken and tortured he should be at this moment when he loses his love.

Zhao Ling took a deep breath and walked up, squatted on the ground to support Zhao Heng's shoulder, met his eyes with tears in his eyes, and said, "Lao Jiu, it's not that the third brother stopped you, and it's not that the third brother doesn't help you, but you really can't get involved in this matter; What is Zhou Yanran's identity, you don't know, even if someone wants to avenge her, the person who should avenge her is not you; Even if it's for the sake of my father and the emperor, for the sake of her, who is already dead, you can't move Chu He at this time, do you understand? ”

Zhao Heng is not stupid, he knows very well the feelings of the third brother towards the third sister-in-law, the murderer who killed Zhou Yanran at the moment is Chu He, with the third sister-in-law's mind of respecting her brother, the third brother will definitely not watch Chu He Fufa; So right now, he wants to get a promise from the third brother.

"Good! Third brother, I listen to you and won't go to Chu He to pay for my life, but you also have to promise me that you can't meddle in this matter. Chu He murdered the concubine, and in the future, there will be people among the nine Qings to interrogate him, you and I don't want to meddle in this matter, and leave this matter to my father and emperor, how about it? ”

Zhao Ling hesitated, he looked at Zhao Heng's painful eyes, pursed his lips, but couldn't give him an answer.

Seeing Zhao Ling's expression, Zhao Heng understood everything, he pushed away Zhao Ling's hand on his shoulder, slowly stood up with his knees, and then took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and Zhao Ling and Zhao Xi, shaking his head uncomfortably, looking at the two brothers he respected the most in front of him, and said: "I know, I know that you don't like Zhou Yanran, and I know that when you heard about Zhou Yanran's death, you may still feel in your heart that people like her should have died a long time ago." ”

"Third brother, seventh brother, you only see her exhausted means, despicable and shameless, but do you know, in fact, she is not like this, she was also kind, simple, her hands were clean and never stained with any blood type, and she was also pure in heart, and she never thought of hurting anyone; Who made her like this? It's people like you. She was born as a concubine, had a low sense of presence in the family, and was bullied since she was a child; What kind of place is the Zhou family, you won't know that the people of the Zhou family are mercenary, as long as they can climb the powerful, you let them lick the soles of your feet, they will happily crawl over and lick them; With her appearance, as she grows older and her appearance opens, how can she be let go by those people in the Zhou family? ”

"My father is so old, she can be her father, but the Zhou family still sent her to the palace to serve her father, how cruel and ruthless the intrigues and tricks in the harem are, we who are princes know best; Back then, we were still living a difficult life in this palace with the status of a prince, not to mention her, a concubine with no identity, no status, and no family support, do you know how hard it is to live in this place where people eat people? If she didn't change and wasn't ruthless, how could she live until now? and you, the third brother, you know that she is very obsessed with you, and you know that in her heart, you are her only and her only faith, but you still ruthlessly push her away, watch her fall, and watch her go crazy in front of yourself like a clown; Third brother, let me ask you here, do you feel a special sense of accomplishment when you see a woman go crazy for you and lose your mind? Think you're amazing? ”

Zhao Xi felt that she really couldn't listen to it anymore, so she walked up and said coldly: "Lao Jiu, don't say these crazy things here, Zhou Yanran's ruthlessness is her nature, and the things she has done over the years that have lost her conscience are her own choices, and no one has a knife to force her; She has such an end now, in fact, it is already merciful; Don't forget, how badly the third brother was killed by her, Zhou Yanran designed to frame Luo Yao back then, and let the innocent Luo Yao die in prison, why didn't you mention this? You say that Zhou Yanran is pitiful, isn't Luo Yao pitiful? She is the most pitiful person, who was deceived by Zhou Yanran and mistakenly believed in the evil heart; There is also the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law has never done anything to hurt Zhou Yanran, but that vicious woman wants to ruin the innocence of the third sister-in-law, and you almost became an accomplice, if the third brother didn't come in time, you would have caused a big disaster; Have you forgotten all of this? ”

"Lao Jiu, I know that Zhou Yanran's death is a little difficult for you to accept, but you must not reverse black and white here, in this world, doing something wrong is doing something wrong, there are not so many reasons and far-fetched excuses."

Looking at Zhao Xi, who refuted him, Zhao Heng couldn't listen to anything, he looked at his two brothers with a smile, and felt uncomfortable that he was about to be torn apart.

"I know that you all look down on her, you all hate her, and you think she deserves to die; Good! Good! You don't feel sorry for her, I feel sorry, you don't feel rare for her, I'm rare; Anyway, the third brother has made up his mind to protect Chu He, since this is the case, then don't blame me for making a move. ”

After Zhao Heng shouted this sentence at Zhao Ling, he stumbled around and ran away, the frustrated and painful appearance made people feel distressed and angry by his behavior.

Zhao Xi didn't expect that at this time, Zhao Heng actually began to drill the tip of the bull's horns, as a brother, he naturally knew that if this bastard boy really made a mess, it was really possible to do anything, if he really made a big mistake, even he might not be able to protect him.

"Third brother, what should I do? I'm worried that Lao Jiu will get into trouble, you say, he won't really want to avenge Zhou Yanran personally. ”

Zhao Ling's cold eyebrows and eyes seemed to be wrapped in frost, looking at the direction that Zhao Heng ran away just now, and said in a deep voice: "Although he is now because he is emotional, so he said what he said just now, but the stinky boy has always been a messy ball who doesn't care about the sky and the earth, although he takes care of me now and doesn't dare to do anything to hurt Chu He now, but he seems to have decided in his heart that Chu He is the culprit who killed Zhou Yanran, and with his character, he will find Chu He sooner or later; We have to guard against this. ”

Thinking of Zhou Yanran's death, Zhao Xi felt unlucky, "That woman has done all the bad things in her life, and she can have such a neat way to die, in fact, she has earned it; I didn't expect that right now, Lao Jiu was actually confused by such a woman, and I was angry when I thought about it; It can be seen that this scourge is really not wrong at all for thousands of years, he was a vicious person in life, and he can't let people live in peace after death. ”

"But third brother, with my understanding of Chu Shizi, although this person is a military general, he has always been very disciplined and quite smart, how could such a person suddenly rush into the palace and kill the concubine? I always feel that there is a secret in this, does the third brother know? ”

If Zhao Ling knew, he wouldn't have waited here; But I don't know why, he always feels that the secret in this may be related to Yue'er, because he also knows the handle in Zhou Yanran's hand; These days, he has not been idle, and cooperated with Yunxiao to check all the people around Zhou Yanran, but after checking and checking, he didn't find that this woman had revealed Yue'er's secret to others, which was seriously inconsistent with what she said to him.

Could it be that all the words he said at that time were intended to deceive him?

If that's the case......

Zhao Ling's hand hidden under the wide sleeves subconsciously clenched, he really didn't have a good impression of this Zhou Yanran, even if she was dead now, he couldn't have any pity for her; Just because of this, he really did too many hateful things in his lifetime.

Seeing that Zhao Ling had a solemn contemplation between his eyebrows, Zhao Xi didn't dare to disturb anymore, but quietly accompanied Zhao Ling's side, thinking about how to appease Zhao Heng, and never let him really do anything wrong; You know, the third brother is not the father, if this bastard really makes a big mistake, the father may give him another chance in terms of the relationship between father and son, but the third brother has always been a short-term protector, if he does something that makes the third sister-in-law sad, the third brother will definitely not let him go.

Time has passed, and about half a pillar of incense has passed.

After Emperor Showa returned, the palace attendants who were waiting outside the palace came to the side hall and invited the prince to go.

Zhao Ling didn't know the tricks played by Emperor Showa, so he always thought that Emperor Showa had never gone out in the Tai'an Palace, and now that he saw the palace attendants coming to invite, he followed without saying a word, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and explained to Zhao Xi who was following behind him.

"Father, I'll go and see it for you, and I'll notify you if there's news, but right now, I'm a little worried about Lao Jiu, you go and see him, don't hide anything from me, tell me immediately."

Zhao Xi knew what the third brother was worried about, so he didn't say anything, and simply responded, saying, "Third brother, don't worry, Lao Jiu will hand it over to me, and I will keep an eye on it for you." ”
