Chapter 468: Responsibility and Protection on Shoulders

Hearing Zhao Ling's words, Chu He, who had been hanging his head and not reacting, finally showed excess emotions on his face, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling, opened his mouth, and said, "Don't let her come here, you take care of her." ”

Seeing that Chu He finally had a little reaction to Chu Xingyue, he knew that in his heart as an elder brother, Chu Xingyue's position was naturally unusual; Since Chu He cares about Chu Xingyue so much, then he can use Chu Xingyue to pry open Chu He's mouth and know the whole truth of the matter from his mouth.

"Big brother, don't worry, Yue'er is my wife, and it's my responsibility to take care of her."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ling raised his head and looked around, with dislike for this place between his eyebrows and eyes, and continued: "It's cold in the prison, Yue'er's body is delicate, and I won't let her appear here rashly; It's just that eldest brother, you also know Yue'er's character, she has always been very assertive, if you really want to stay here for a while, with the degree of care she cares about you, I'm afraid that when the time comes, she may really come to the prison to find you, and even I may not be able to stop her at that time; So big brother, there are some words, some truths, please don't hide them, why did you go to the Quewei Palace, how did you enter the Quewei Palace, why did you kill Zhou Yanran, I hope you can tell me all these questions, because only in this way can I save you and make Yue'er feel at ease. ”

How could Chu He not know that he appeared here with Zhao Ling's current identity, it must be because of his own sister; In fact, when he decided to go into the palace to find Zhou Yanran, he had already prepared for the worst, and even later made a murderous move, it was completely to protect the people he cared about, but he didn't expect that after he killed the damn woman, he still let his sister, who was carefully protected, be so worried.

Thinking of this, Chu He's face couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule, what is this brother of his? Not only did he have no way to protect his sister, but he also made her worry so much about him after the accident.

The prince said that Yue'er is an assertive, but no matter how assertive she is, she is just a little girl, knowing that he killed someone and went to prison, Yue'er must be very sad and sad, in her heart, I am afraid that he, who is an elder brother, will also disappoint her.

Looking at Chu He with a self-reproachful expression on his face, Zhao Ling could somewhat guess what he was thinking at the moment, he knew that a person with a stubborn personality like Chu He had always eaten soft rather than hard, and the only way to know what was going on in the Bird's Palace was to coax him to say it himself.

Zhao Ling continued: "Big brother, you must have heard what I said to Xiao Jiu just now, I promised him that I would give him a satisfactory answer, and I believe you, you are definitely not the kind of person who likes to kill, so eldest brother, for yourself, for Yue'er, and for all of us to give an explanation, you tell me, why did you go to see Zhou Yanran, and why did you have to kill her?" ”

Chu He raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling, his eyes seemed to be mixed with a thousand words, but gradually his gaze began to wander away, looking towards the few people standing behind Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling is such a keen person, he immediately realized something, and said to Zhao Xi and Xiao Gang behind him: "You go out, and then send someone to guard the door of the prison, without the permission of His Highness, no one can come in at will." ”

Zhao Xi had always taken Zhao Ling's words as a follower, and after listening to Zhao Ling's order, he immediately turned around and left; However, before Xiao Gang left, he glanced at Zhao Ling quite considerately and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates are outside, if you have anything to do, just shout." ”

Zhao Ling knew that Xiao Gang said this just for the sake of safety, and had no other meaning, but after Chu He heard this, his eyes flickered and looked at Xiao Gang, and when he met Xiao Gang's eyes before leaving, the hands hanging on both sides subconsciously tightened a little.

Seeing that the superfluous people around him had left, Zhao Ling called out Luo Cheng, who had been quietly following him, and introduced to Chu He: "Big brother, this is Lord Luo, in the position of the head of the Criminal Department, this time Zhou Yanran was killed in the palace, I have asked my father for a holy decree, and I will do it myself, Lord Luo is the person I named to my father, my lord, he has always been upright, and the reputation in the hearts of students in the court and the world is also very good, this time Lord Luo and I will handle this matter, and I will definitely find a way to help the eldest brother." ”

Although Chu He has lived in Qingzhou for a long time, he still has heard of the capital Luofu, which is a scholarly family, and people who read a lot are somewhat arrogant and noble, and the Luo family is naturally contaminated with this temperament; But it is precisely because of this character of not going with the world that the Luo family is unique in the noble circle of the capital.

Recently, the Luo family has been in the limelight, because the Luo family is about to have a daughter marry the prince as a princess, thinking of King Xi's attitude towards this Lord Luo just now, Chu He understands everything.

It seems that the princess that King Xi is going to marry is the daughter of Lord Luo in front of him, thinking of this, Chu He not only looked Luo Cheng up and down, but saw that although Luo Cheng was dressed simply, he had an elegant temperament of a scholar, especially those eyes, black and white, vaguely revealing a righteous atmosphere, with such a father, the future Princess Xi must not be bad.

It seems that this King Xi is quite discerning, and he actually found such a Yue family for himself, but it is a pity that although King Heng and King Xi are brothers, they are a big difference in looking at women, who does not like it, but likes that poisonous woman, recalling what King Heng said when he was looking for him to settle accounts, Chu He couldn't help but shake his head gently.

Luo Cheng saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had introduced himself emphatically, so he politely clasped his fists and saluted Chu He: "Chu Shizi, I am serving in the Criminal Department, and it is precisely because I often handle some major cases of murder and overselling goods that I have accumulated some experience from them; But all the people who commit crimes are basically some roosters and dogs, or arrogant and domineering people; Although Zai Xia and Chu Shizi have never had much intersection before, they have been fortunate to meet the old marquis, the old marquis is a well-known hero, and I believe that the children born and raised by characters like the old marquis will not be bad; So Shizi, if you have any troubles, you can tell me about it, maybe you can really help Shizi a thing or two. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Cheng added another sentence and said, "Please rest assured, the prince is very tight, and he will never go out to talk nonsense." ”

Listening to Luo Cheng's heartfelt words, Chu He naturally saw that Zhao Ling and Luo Cheng were both people who tried their best to believe in themselves, and even wanted to save themselves; However, after all that he had been through, it was clear to him that he could not get out of it all; Since he was a child, his father taught him to make him a man who stands up to the sky, and when he grows up, he will protect his mother and sister, and his mother has left when he was young, and now only his sister and father are by his side; So for him, the lives of these two people are more important than everything, and it is absolutely impossible for him to watch someone with a heart harm them.

It's just that he also knows Zhao Ling's character very well, if he doesn't say the reason today, I'm afraid Zhao Ling won't leave easily, so he has prepared a set of rhetoric before he comes, and it just so happens that he can use it now.

"Thank you for your trust in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Luo, I know that you want to help me, in fact, I am also tired of this place and very nostalgic for the outside world, but the truth of the matter is that I really killed Zhou Yanran; A palm slapped on her heart, watching her fall to the ground and dying after being shocked by me, so it is not wrong for Heng * to say that killing people pays for their lives, after all, I really killed someone. ”

Seeing that Chu He didn't defend himself at all and directly admitted that he had killed someone, Zhao Ling was a little anxious: "Big brother, you have no grievances with Zhou Yanran, why do you want to kill her?" If I'm not mistaken, you don't even know her; When did the two of you become entangled in such a strange relationship? ”

Speaking of this, Chu He looked stunned, took a step forward, looked at Chu He with burning eyes, and said, "Big brother, you tell me the truth, is all this because of Yue'er?" ”

Chu He, who was originally pale, immediately raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling in surprise when he heard Chu Xingyue's name at this time, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

As for Zhao Ling, he is quite transparent.

Looking at Chu He's appearance, he knew that he had guessed correctly, his eyes showed helplessness, and he continued to look at Chu He, and said, "Big brother, are you very strange why I know?" Actually, I didn't associate this matter with Yue'er at the beginning, but, considering that the only person you can have a relationship with Zhou Yanran is Yue'er, I knew that this matter must be related to Yue'er; Big brother, until now, haven't you said anything? ”

Chu He knew that with Zhao Ling's intelligence, sooner or later he would guess that this matter would have something to do with Yue'er, but what he didn't expect was that he would guess it so quickly.

In this case, he has to reveal some secrets that cannot be told freely.

"Your Highness, you guessed right, I was involved with that poisonous woman, and it was indeed because of Yue'er's relationship."

Speaking of this, Chu He seemed to be tired and sat on the small stool behind him, his eyes drooped slightly, as if he was talking to others about inconsequential things, and said: "Your Highness should know that Yue'er has been living in the Jingbei Hou Mansion in Qingzhou before she married you, and she has never been far away when she is so big, although the Jingbei Hou Mansion is also a prince's mansion, but it is much cleaner than these deep mansions in your capital, Yue'er has been well protected by her father and me since she was a child, her character is simple and kind, and she is the most weak and harmless; Looking at such a younger sister, my father and I both know very well that a temperament like hers must be kept under our noses in the future, otherwise whoever bullies her in the future, I am afraid she will not even sue. ”

Speaking of this, Chu He seemed to recall the happiest time of his youth, and a gentle smile from the heart immediately appeared on his calm and indifferent face.
