Chapter Seventy-Three: Keeping Him Rather Than Killing Him
In the dungeon of King Ling's Mansion
These three days are like years for Zhao Heng.
At all times, a nervous nerve that was about to collapse stared at the closed cell door in fear, and it seemed that in the next moment, when the cell door was opened, a lion would pounce on him from the outside and bite him to the bone.
It was also after these three days of calmness that Zhao Heng slowly smelled something wrong from his obsession with Chu Xingyue.
He has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has long seen a lot of the harem's selfish methods, how does he think that he has caused a big disaster this time, there is a bit of a conspiracy in it.
The people who cheated him will definitely not be the third brother and the third sister-in-law, nor will the seventh brother and several royal brothers.
The only people who made him think of it were the dog minions in the mansion who quietly told him that when Concubine Zhou Guifei was born, Princess Ling would enter the palace to celebrate her birthday.
All this is like a game that has been designed a long time ago.
Using him to defile the third sister-in-law who happened to be drugged can not only make him be sanctioned, but also ruin the reputation of the third sister-in-law, who is it that dares to use such despicable means, not only dare to kill the princess, but even he, the prince, is calculated.
Just when Zhao Heng was scratching his heart and lungs and burning with anger, the prison door that had been closed for three days was opened from the outside.
With a 'crunch' sound, Zhao Heng was like a frightened rabbit, and he shrank into a ball in fright.
He had not seen a bright light source for many days, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the person who slowly walked in from the outside, and when he saw clearly that the person was wearing a dark prince's brocade clothes, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and the whole person couldn't shrink into a small ball, so as not to be seen by the visitors.
Zhao Ling slowly approached Zhao Heng, looking him up and down.
For his younger brother, although he hates iron and steel, but because this stinky boy has always behaved in front of him, he will not really take action to rectify him many times.
Unexpectedly, it was this kid who almost bullied his woman.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ling stepped forward sharply, and in Zhao Heng's frightened scream, he dragged this kid up and glared at his eyes that didn't even dare to look at him.
"Third, third brother, I, I really know it's wrong, you can forgive me." Zhao Heng kept wailing and pleading, he was really scared.
You must know that the third brother is not his father, his father loves him, as long as he prays out loud, his father will forgive him even if he is angry; Just like last time, he obviously caused such a big disaster, but his father still spared his life.
But the third brother is not like this, the third brother is a person who has experienced war and killing on the battlefield, and for him, killing people is the most familiar.
He has been afraid of the third brother since he was a child, and he always feels that the cold-faced third brother is not like a brother, but like a king of Hades who can kill people.
He doubted that the third brother would really kill him.
Thinking of the consequences and consequences that he might suffer, Zhao Heng was frightened, hugged Zhao Ling's thighs and prayed continuously.
"Third brother, listen to me, I thought about it carefully, I should have been harmed by someone; When I saw my third sister-in-law that day, she was already in a trance, and she hugged me and called her husband; Third brother, you know me, the third sister-in-law is so beautiful, how can I bear it? So I'm just, I'm going to ......."
"So you dare to bully even the women of this king, don't you?" Zhao Ling, who had been looking at Zhao Heng coldly, finally spoke.
Zhao Heng was frightened by Zhao Ling's words and kept shaking his head, and the tears in his eyes fell even more without money: "I will never dare to do it again in the future, third brother, I really will never dare again in the future." ”
Seeing that this beast was scared like this by himself, Zhao Ling really wanted to kick this bastard away; But thinking of the woman he wanted to protect, he finally endured it.
Yunxiao moved a stool and sat down, looked at Zhao Heng kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Now, if this king asks you, you will answer honestly; Lao Jiu, you know the temper of the third brother, do you want the third brother to forgive you, it all depends on your performance, understand? ”
As soon as he heard Zhao Ling's words, Zhao Heng smelled a hint of vitality, and nodded busily in agreement: "Third brother, may I ask, as long as I know, I will know everything." ”
"Very well, first of all, explain why you appeared near the Bird's Palace at that time."
Zhao Heng's tears and snot flowed together, and when he heard this question, he quickly wiped his tears and replied: "The third brother doesn't know, Xiao Jiu heard that the third sister-in-law will go to celebrate Zhou Guifei's birthday that day, so she chased after her." ”
"Who's listening?"
"Minions in the house."
Zhao Heng secretly glanced at Zhao Ling and continued: "Actually, I don't know what's going on, when my mind was seen by those sharp-eyed minions, and then I fell for them, was tempted, and almost did something to hurt the third sister-in-law." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Heng began to cry at Zhao Ling again, "Third brother, in fact, Xiao Jiu is also a victim, Xiao Jiu was used as a gunman, and this is almost a big mistake." ”
Looking at Zhao Heng, who could even see his little tongue with his mouth wide open and crying, Zhao Ling let out a cold snort: "It seems that you are not hopelessly stupid." ”
"Third brother, third brother, just forgive me, I will definitely find out the murderer behind me and kill the third sister-in-law to vent her anger."
is not only to vent his anger to the third sister-in-law, but also to vent his anger.
Even he, Zhao Heng, dared to calculate, he wanted to see which bastard actually dared to provoke his Ninth Grandfather.
Zhao Ling naturally saw the fierceness in Zhao Heng's eyes clearly, knowing the character of this kid who was a demon king in the world, it might be more useful to keep him than to kill him.
That woman let Yue'er suffer like this, how could he easily spare it?
Besides, after these three days of mental torture, this kid can be regarded as suffering a lot of crimes, in the future, let alone dare to worry about Yue'er, I'm afraid that even if he meets Yue'er, he will walk around.
Thinking of all this, Zhao Ling closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
When he opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Heng's timid expression, he stretched out his foot and stepped heavily on the kid's kicked chest, and warned seriously: "Lao Jiu, you should know that the last thing this king is afraid of is killing, his father has so many sons, and one less useless is no loss for him, do you know?" ”
Facing the murderous third brother, where did Zhao Heng dare to scream in pain, he just nodded his head with tears in his eyes: "Third brother, I was wrong!" Spare my life! ”
"It's good to know that you are wrong, in the future, you can be as free as you want, as you should be as debauched as you want, the third brother doesn't care about you, but!"
Zhao Ling's voice suddenly became cold and sharp: "When you meet someone from my Ling Wangfu in the future, you should try to avoid it as much as possible, understand?" ”
"Understood, Xiao Jiu understood!" The tears on Zhao Heng's face trembled and fell, and with a look of horror, he watched the third brother leave.
It wasn't until Zhao Ling's figure completely disappeared into the dungeon that Zhao Heng felt as if he had come back to life.
The whole person collapsed, threw himself on the cold ground, hugged his head and cried.
The third brother is really scary, he really thought that he was going to give his life here this time; I knew that the third sister-in-law was taken so seriously by the third brother, and he didn't dare to touch it casually if he lent him ten guts.
He must investigate who is behind everything, and when he finds that person, he will definitely make that person feel bad.
……
Zhao Ling walked out of the dungeon, and Xiao Gang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, walked up.
"Did you hear what this king asked King Heng in the dungeon just now?"
Xiao Gang immediately returned: "My subordinates heard it." ”
"According to the clues he provided, there must be an inside line bought by Zhou Yanran in King Heng's mansion, and after the investigation is out, he will quietly find someone to pass it on to King Heng, and slowly draw King Heng's attention to the Quewei Palace."
"What does the prince mean is that he is going to let King Heng deal with Zhou Guifei?"
Zhao Ling's voice was cold: "That woman is the best at killing people with a knife, this time she hurt Yue'er, and she used this trick; Now the king wants her to taste what it is like to be hurt by a knife of his choice. ”
"My subordinates will do it."
"Wait."
Zhao Ling stopped Xiao Gang, and Chu Xingyue's crying red eyes appeared in front of him: "Haven't you found Chun Xing yet?" ”
Xiao Gang showed a look of annoyance on his face, and said: "It's the incompetence of his subordinates, who almost searched the palace and didn't find the princess's personal maid, but please rest assured, the subordinates took advantage of the night to quietly salvage several lotus ponds and abandoned wells in the palace, and there were no corpses of Chunxing girl; The subordinates concluded that the spring apricot girl must still be alive. ”
"If you are alive, you have to look for it, don't just look for it in the palace where people live, aren't there some remote abandoned palaces where no one lives? Go there and look for it. ”
Xiao Gang really didn't expect to go to these places to find someone, so he looked at Zhao Ling with admiration and said, "Yes, my subordinates will go all out to get Miss Chunxing back." ”
And at this moment, in an abandoned side hall located in the northernmost corner of the palace, Chun Xing woke up from the painful fainting again, opened her eyes covered with blood scabs, looked at the terrifying environment covered with cobwebs, shrunk her shoulders in fear, and tears fell from her eyes in anger.
"Miss, where are you? Come and save the slaves. ”
Chun Xing shouted Chu Xingyue in a low voice, and rubbed towards the corner in fear.
However, as soon as she moved, she heard a sharp squeak coming from behind her.
Then, in the next second, a huge gray fat thing flew out of the corner, standing upright in front of Chunxing as if it was not afraid of people, turning two black and slippery eyes.
It was the first time for Chunxing to see such a big and fat mouse, and she screamed in fright on the spot, constantly kicking her legs, in a vain attempt to kick the fat mouse cub away from her face.
But she didn't know that the more she screamed, the more excited the mouse seemed to be stimulated, and in the end, it actually waved its two front paws like a human and attacked Chunxing.
Chun Xing had already been frightened and lost her soul, her face was white, and she looked at the mouse that was caught at her with a stunned expression.
At this moment, an unfamiliar man's voice came from outside in time: "Get down!" ”
As the man's voice came, a bright object slashed towards the mouse's erect neck at the same time.
'Poof'.
Chun Xing only felt that her face was hot, and a strong smell of blood came to her nose.
When she looked down blankly, the fat mouse had already had its head cut off by the flying sharp weapon, but the chubby head had fallen to her chest.
In the face of the black eyes of the rat, Chun Xing was greatly stimulated, let out a scream again, her eyes turned white, and she completely fainted.
