Chapter 504: The Truth Is Piercing
Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes were still clear and clean, but his beautiful little face was very tight, especially when he saw Chu Xingyue's appearance that he didn't know anything so far, his heart felt even more sour.
He doesn't understand, his sister is so good, so believe in him, why does he have to do things that make his sister sad repeatedly, isn't he afraid that one day the East Window incident will happen and his sister will know the whole truth?
Or is he confident enough to hide from his sister for the rest of his life, so that his sister will live with him like this for the rest of her life?
In fact, after living in King Ling's mansion, seeing his sister's life so happy, he had the idea of dispelling his thoughts, he told himself that the master cared most about his sister before his death, and he would have been so desperate to need his sister to go back tomorrow, but in order for his sister to be with the person he liked, Master would rather live up to the expectations of the clansmen and accompany his sister back to the capital.
For the sake of the master and the sake of his sister, as long as the person no longer does anything excessive, he will choose to keep that secret in his heart, even if he doesn't say it for the rest of his life, he will admit it.
But he didn't expect that just a few days after this thought arose, he would do this kind of thing again; Is it in that man's heart, except for his own interests, other people's lives, deaths and expectations can be disappointed.
He is proud of his identity and looks down on his master, he can understand, but why he has to choose to sacrifice even his sister's own brother; Could it be that in that man's heart, he would never pay attention to anyone else but himself?
Even if it is a woman he likes, does he be stingy with giving her a little truth?
Good! In that case, then don't blame him for snatching his sister away from him, he wants him to know that the person he doesn't cherish will be cherished by others in this world; People he doesn't care about, someone will give their lives to care about her.
His sister is the kindest person in the world, obviously has no blood relationship with him, but she also takes care of him as her own brother, knowing that his identity is not simple, and she is still burdened with a blood feud, but she is still not afraid that he will cause her trouble, so she will keep him by her side and teach him carefully.
Such a her, he will desperately protect her from now on.
Xiao Ruiyuan pursed his lips, raised his head to look at Chu Xingyue, with firmness and stubbornness in his eyes, and said: "Sister, the eldest brother of the prince was assassinated in the prison last night, and his life was almost hanging by a thread, and at the critical moment, a master came out to rescue him and successfully escaped from prison; At present, the nine gates of the entire capital are tightly sealed, and the Imperial Forest Army is holding Emperor Showa's Yizhi City inside and outside the city to find the whereabouts of the eldest brother of the prince, and there are even rumors below, saying that the Marquis of Jingbei in Qingzhou has long had a heart of disobedience, and has a tendency to claim himself king with an army of 400,000 troops. Because you are not only the crown princess, but also the daughter of Marquis Chuyi of Jingbei. β
Xiao Ruiyuan's words were very calm, as if he was narrating a very ordinary thing.
However, when these words reached the ears of Chu Xingyue and Uncle Chunxing Wang, it was comparable to a thunderous explosion, and they couldn't react to the explosion for a long time.
Big brother assassinated?! Escaped from prison successfully?! Disobedient?!
These words sounded in her ears again and again, and every time they rang, Chu Xingyue's face turned pale, and in the end, Chu Xingyue's face was almost bloodless, and she almost fell to the ground because she couldn't stand.
Fortunately, Uncle Wang's eyes were quick, and he held Chu Xingyue in one hand, and at the same time looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with an uninjured eye, and asked in a hurried tone: "You kid, why did you start talking nonsense at a young age?" How can you say such horrific words? β
After reprimanding Xiao Ruiyuan, Uncle Wang hurriedly comforted Chu Xingyue and said, "Miss, don't worry, this news must be wrong; What kind of place is the prison, and how can the killer come and go at will? Moreover, the prince is strong in martial arts, how can he be forced to hang by a thread? What's more, since the old marquis has been in charge of the black armor army, he has always been loyal, about this, everyone knows that the emperor also trusts the old marquis the most, how can he doubt the old marquis's disobedience? There must be some people who are jealous of the glory of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, so they deliberately walked out such vicious rumors, Miss, we must not listen to these rumors in our hearts, otherwise we will fall for the tricks of those bad people. β
Xiao Ruiyuan listened to Uncle Wang's words clearly, he could understand that they refused to believe his words; After all, back then, when his family was overturned, his parents and uncles were as naΓ―ve as they are now, thinking that their loyal sons knew best, and as a manly husband, as long as they were worthy of their conscience and heaven and earth, they were not afraid of criticism from others.
But how naΓ―ve and foolish these ideas are; In this world, one of the things that the emperor is best at doing is crossing the river and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys; They are like the most cunning conspirators in the world, when they need you, they will do everything to be good to you, but once they don't need you, they will change their faces faster than turning a book, and they can't wait to crush your family.
This feeling, this experience, and this taste have been experienced by him a long time ago in his life, so he understands the disbelief of his sister and Uncle Wang.
But does not believing it prove that these things really don't exist? He must not watch his sister and the Jingbei Hou Mansion go down the same road as the palace on the edge of the town.
Xiao Ruiyuan walked a little closer to Chu Xingyue, he saw the tears in his sister's eyes, such a sister made him feel extremely distressed, but he had to grit his teeth and wake her up from this dream.
"If my sister doesn't believe it, you can call the Imperial Forest Army outside the palace at this moment and ask to see if I have deceived you."
Uncle Wang saw that the kid was still talking nonsense, so he was anxious, and gently pushed Xiao Ruiyuan and said, "You kid, why aren't you good, why are you still saying these nonsense things in front of Miss." β
Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan being pushed by Uncle Wang, Chu Xingyue stiffened, her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her heart and lungs, and shouted: "Uncle Wang, don't make excuses for yourself and others, let's face reality." β
Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, Uncle Wang froze in place, and Chun Xing also cried out with a wow.
"How so? Why is this happening? Miss, didn't you say that His Royal Highness personally told you that Zhou Guifei's death was strange, and he would definitely find a way to save the prince from the prison; But why is it okay if the son of the world is not rescued now, why is he still accused of escaping from prison? And what is the matter with the assassination of the prince? Also, why do you say that the Jingbei Hou Mansion has a heart of disobedience, such a crime will be connected to the nine clans; Miss, let's quickly find a way to inform His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes forward, all this will definitely be resolved. β
Chu Xingyue was tightly pulled by Chunxing's arm, but the whole person seemed to be frozen, and there was no reaction for a long time.
Looking at Chu Xingyue, whose eyes were red, Xiao Ruiyuan's heart was also uncomfortable and distressed, he looked at Chun Xing, who was crying like a tearful person, and said, "Looking for the prince?" Sister Chunxing, why is it now, you haven't figured it out yet? He is the culprit of all this. β
Chu Xingyue turned her head to look at Xiao Ruiyuan and asked, "What do you mean by this?" β
Xiao Ruiyuan sniffed, and said with a calm expression of resentment: "Anyway, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, sister, do you remember when I asked my sister a question, if there is something else strange about Master's death, if the murderer who killed Master is not only Zhuo Lang but also others, what will you do, sister?" β
Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan's calm expression wrapped in the storm, Chu Xingyue's face instantly turned snow-white, and vaguely, she seemed to have guessed something, especially when she saw the hatred that Xiao Ruiyuan couldn't ignore in her eyes, she finally couldn't hold herself anymore, her legs were weak, and she fell to the ground.
Seeing Chu Xingyue falling, Chun Xing let out an exclamation, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Hurry up, did you fall on your body? Let the slave and maid see. β
Chu Xingyue pushed Chun Xing's hand away, as if only by sitting on the cold ground did she have the courage to continue listening to Xiao Ruiyuan's words: "You go on." β
Xiao Ruiyuan knew that the words had reached this point, and it was impossible to take them back, not to mention, when he decided to say it, he couldn't take it back.
"Sister, how similar is the situation at the beginning to now, you trusted King Ling at that time with all your heart, and told him more than once that you must let him do everything possible to find and rescue the master, how did King Ling promise you at that time? Did he tell you not to worry, he will definitely save Master. But you know what? He deals with you with his mouth, but not in his heart and deeds; If it weren't for the fact that he didn't save himself and delayed time, if it weren't for his ill intentions and that he wanted to put the master to death, the master would not have been caught by Zhuo Lang and tortured for so long, let alone die in Zhuo Lang's hands in the end; Sister, if Zhuo Lang is the direct murderer of the master, then the husband you love and believe in with all your heart is the accomplice of the master's death; It was they who united to kill Master, and it was they who made Master die so miserably. β
The last few words were almost shouted out by Xiao Ruiyuan, which shows how sad he was about Yuan Feng's death in his heart, and how unforgivable he should be for the person who killed Yuan Feng.
Chu Xingyue looked at Yuan Feng like this with a pale face, her face was panicked, and her eyes were looking left and right in disbelief because of shock, she hugged her trembling body tightly, and kept shaking her head, as if she was in pieces: "No!" That's impossible! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! Zhao Ling wouldn't deliberately not save Yuan Feng, he promised me that he would bring Yuan Feng back; Yuan Feng's death was an accident, and he didn't want to see this, Yuan Feng was not killed by him, it was Zhuo Lang, it was Zhuo Lang who killed Yuan Feng, it was Zhao Ling's business. He tried his best, he told me, he really tried his best. β
