Chapter 135: There is a life to rob, but there is no life to enjoy
Zhao Ling, who was dressed in prince's clothes, looked like he had just come down from the court, and he didn't even change into civilian clothes.
The dark purple prince's brocade dress was worn on his tall and straight figure, and the purple gold jade crown tied his long black hair on the top of his head, revealing a full forehead and a handsome and unparalleled face.
I have to admit that although the genetics of the Great Wei royal family are not bad, and the nine princes are all romantic, among them, Zhao Ling's complexion is the most handsome; This is also the reason why he has always been peach blossoms over the years, a man who looks too good is easy to be remembered.
At this moment, Zhou Yanran looked at Zhao Ling in front of her with greed, if it weren't for the excitement and her heart was pounding, she really doubted that she had dreamed again, and saw the person she was thinking about in her dream.
It's just that, compared to Zhou Yanran's excitement, Zhao Ling had a faint expression, and her cold gaze swept lightly over her delicate red face because of her joy, and finally, looked at Meng'e's corpse lying in a pool of blood on the side.
Zhou Yanran has been quietly in love with Zhao Ling since she was a child, and she knows his temperament well, knowing that he is a silent and cold character, and now seeing that he does not answer his own questions and is not angry, but looks at Meng'e's corpse a few times along his eyes, pretending to be sad and crying.
"Meng'e has been taking care of me since she was a child, and a few days ago I thought that she was now at the age of marriage, and she should be pointing her a good family to live a good life, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she was poisoned by the wicked; It was all me, who didn't take good care of her and let her die in such a way. β
As she spoke, Zhou Yanran squeezed out two lines of tears from her eyes, and the appearance of the beauty in tears was really distressing, especially Zhou Yanran was used to doing this kind of thing, and she showed her sad and sad appearance in front of Zhao Ling.
But Zhao Ling stared at Meng'e's headless corpse for a long time as if he hadn't heard her words, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Back then, this king rushed back from Liangzhou, and I saw Luo Yao lying like this in the prison, full of whip marks, thin as firewood, as if it was gently blown by the wind, and it could be dispersed. β
Zhou Yanran's heart jumped, and she looked at Zhao Ling who suddenly said such a paragraph in disbelief.
For five years, except for when he asked her about Luo Yao, he never mentioned this name in front of her in front of her, which was about to be forgotten by time.
Why do you mention it today? Could it be that Chu Bingyue said something in front of him?
Zhou Yanran panicked in her heart, raised her head to look at Zhao Ling uneasily, and the fingers hidden under her sleeves were also curled up because of nervousness.
But she has always been extremely strong-minded, even if her heart is extremely weak, she will not let herself show half of her flaws.
Following Zhao Ling's words, Zhou Yanran was careful and said calmly.
"Sister Luo Yao is a miserable person, she was involved in that case back then, and all kinds of evidence around her were unfavorable to her, and she was finally sent to prison to suffer; It's a pity that I was so soft-spoken at that time that I couldn't find a way to save her. β
Listening to Zhou Yanran's flawless answer, Zhao Ling sneered, and finally fell on her with a cold look.
"You're soft-spoken? Zhou Yanran, back then, you could put Luo Yao to death with a slight word, if you had your current identity, wouldn't Luo Yao end up with no bones? β
Zhou Yanran's face turned pale suddenly, and even her voice trembled a little: "What does San Lang mean by this?" Could it be that even today, do you still think that I killed Sister Luo Yao? β
"You are not allowed to mention Luo Yao's name!"
Zhao Ling lowered his voice, the anger in his eyes was like a raging fire, and he attacked the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him, "You really treat this king as a fool to tease, you told me back then that the reason why you ran to the queen to expose Luo Yao for taking the shark pearl privately was to protect the Luo Mansion from her; Zhou Yanran, do you really think this king will believe your words? β
"What kind of character Luo Yao is, this king knows better than you, let alone a shark pearl, even if she takes a rare night pearl in the next life, she won't take a second look, how can such a person be rare with a small shark pearl? From the beginning, all of you wanted to kill her. β
"It's shameful for the queen to set a trap, but the one who really makes people feel cold is you."
Speaking of excitement, Zhao Ling hated to strangle the woman in front of him who was in a posture to death.
"As Luo Yao's best friend, if you don't help her when she is in trouble, you have become one of the murderers who killed her; You know that Luo Yao cherishes her family, once the matter of Shark Zhu involves Luofu, even if she is wronged, she will be willing to endure it; Therefore, you secretly took out the shark bead she used to frame Luo Yao from the purse she was carrying and put it in Luofu, and then ran to the queen to report it, completely forcing Luo Yao to a dead end. β
Zhou Yanran's face became more and more pale, and in the end, she was almost unsteady on her feet.
Back then, she thought that she had done nothing leaky, and no one knew about it, but she never thought that it would be said by Zhao Ling today.
No! She couldn't admit it, and once she did, she would lose him completely.
Zhou Yanran hurriedly grabbed Zhao Ling's sleeve, and her lips trembled in defense, "San Lang, where did you hear these words that accuse me of innocence, I was wronged, you must not believe the villain's words." β
"Are you wronged?"
Zhao Ling sneered, pulled his sleeve back from Zhou Yanran's hand, and looked at her mockingly: "Zhou Yanran, do you really think that this king has no evidence?" β
Zhou Yanran immediately froze and stared at the angry Zhao Ling in astonishment.
At this time, she was like a ridiculous clown, looking straight at Zhao Ling with a pair of big round eyes, and her slightly open red lips forgot to close because of fear.
It was precisely when he saw her appearance that she was obviously weak but still pretending to be calm, Zhao Ling sneered.
"Do you know why Li Fuqing was sent to prison? Back then, she was the initiator of Luo Yao's case, and the king would not let her go, but letting her die in vain seemed to have cheapened her, so the king put her in the prison where Luo Yao was once imprisoned, and let her atone for Luo Yao in her lifetime. β
"As for you!" Zhao Ling suddenly stretched out his hand, raised Zhou Yanran's chin, and looked at her aggressively, "Do you really think that this king won't move you?" β
"Luo Yao once regarded you as her best friend before her death, you were bullied in the house, but she is such an indifferent person who can argue and even fight with those who bully you for you, it can be seen that in her heart, she has long treated you as a sister; Do you know that she once said to this king, if this king has the opportunity in the future, he will take care of you a little more? This is also the biggest reason why this king has left you alive even if he hates you over the years. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Ling pushed Zhou Yanran's chin away in disgust, and that expression was like looking at it again, and he would feel extremely disgusting.
"You are unkind and unjust to Luo Yao, but Luo Yao is consistent with you; The king thinks that after five years, even if you have a little repentance and self-examination, the king's patience will be worth it; But now, all the tolerance for you has become your connivance to hurt the innocent; Zhou Yanran, haven't you always been curious about why this king treated you so poorly after Luo Yao's death? Because from the very beginning, Ben Wang knew that it was you who hurt her, and you thought that if you played a few scenes in front of Ben Wang and shed a few tears, Ben Wang would be deceived by you? Don't be naΓ―ve, those dirty thoughts of yours can hide from Luo Yao, but you will never be able to hide from this king. β
Zhou Yanran trembled violently, she never thought that everything she had painstakingly arranged back then would be seen through by him so easily.
In other words, every time she showed weakness and cried in front of him in the past five years, it became one joke after another?
Thinking that she would be played like this, even if the man in front of her was the person she loved the most, she completely exposed her true colors because she couldn't bear it.
Zhou Yanran looked at the cold and ruthless Zhao Ling, her body shook and took a few steps back, her snow-white face was faintly distorted, and a pair of beautiful eyes were twisted together because of pain.
"Zhao Ling, you say that I am ruthless and that I am cruel, but do you know that the most ruthless and cruel person is her Luo Yao!"
At this moment, Zhou Yanran couldn't care about anything.
Anyway, the little tricks she played have been exposed, and instead of showing a pitiful appearance begging for mercy in front of him to provoke him even more disgusted, it is better to let her tell him all the words that have been suppressed in her heart all these years, and she can also have a good time.
She just wanted him to know that the culprit who had made her so unrecognizable was the innocent little fairy they mentioned.
Zhou Yanran smiled bitterly, staring at Zhao Ling deeply with infatuated eyes, and let two lines of tears slip from her eyes.
"Do you know San Lang, among the three of us, I met you first, and I liked you first; When I had a feast in the palace, I begged my father to take me to participate, and it was I who took her Luo Yao's hand to see you; I once told her personally that the third prince Zhao Ling is the person I admire, but how did she do it, shouting my sister, but snatching you away from me in the blink of an eye; Do you know how much betrayal I suffered at that moment?! β
Speaking of sadness, Zhou Yanran had a sad look on her face.
At this moment, she is not the concubine who favors the harem, nor is she the most powerful daughter of the Zhou family now, but an innocent and fragile woman immersed in painful memories.
However, Zhao Ling tightened his eyebrows again because of her words, and his face was displeased, "This king has never been your person, so naturally he can't talk about the word 'robbing' in your mouth." β
Zhou Yanran laughed, and the tears in her eyes had already blurred her vision.
"Yes, in your heart and eyes, only she, Luo Yao, has ever had me? I can tolerate all this, but the most unbearable thing for me is that she knows how much I like you, but she deliberately says in front of me how good you are to her, and deliberately talks and laughs with you in front of me, she is clearly showing off to me and making war against me! β
Speaking of this, Zhou Yanran's eyes burst out with dazzling ruthlessness, and she met Zhao Ling's fierce gaze without fear, and said: "I, Zhou Yanran, in my life, have been inferior because of my identity as a concubine, and it makes no sense to be bullied like this by a scheming little slut in the end; Since you don't care about sisterhood, then I don't need to follow sisterhood anymore. Since you have the ability to snatch my beloved, then I want you to know that snatching away is not the ability, and having the blessing to enjoy is the greatest ability. β
