The official who was escorted behind An Lehou was forced by Bai Zhao's terrifying aura and automatically retreated to both sides. Bai Zhao's tower-like body stood behind An Lehou, grabbed the person's neck with his hand, broke his head, pulled out a knife and put it on the person's face.

An Lehou couldn't resist, he was angry and afraid, trembling and scolding: "Helian Mingrui, you brute! Do you still want to humiliate the old man twice! ”

King Chu's face also sank, turned sideways, and looked at Helian Mingrui seriously, "Third Emperor Brother, why is this?" ”

An Lehou is his uncle, and he was already slapped in the face on the spot. Now he has to fight for the second time, and he has a calm temper and can't sit still.

Everyone turned their heads to each other, thinking that this was the prince deliberately embarrassing the king of Chu.

Helian Mingrui ignored King Chu and said lightly, "Si Xi, you go over, let An Lehou take a good look at you." ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was silent. Everyone was stunned, and reacted that Si Xi was the female official behind the prince. For a while, all eyes fell on Su Zhi.

Su Zhi was inexplicable, said "No", walked forward a dozen steps, and looked back at someone.

Someone's face was expressionless, and that face was still as beautiful as a heavenly person, but the piercing chill in her eyes made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.

Su Zhi was full of question marks and walked in front of An Lehou. An Lehou glared at her fiercely and sneered, "Does the prince want to humiliate the old man with this cheap woman!" ”

"Please take a good look at her, do you think of anything." Helian Mingrui's cold voice.

There was silence all around. Everyone stared at Su Zhi's face, curious about who this woman was. The meaning of the prince's words is that An Lehou knows this woman?

Someone has already started to make up for it, could it be that An Lehou robbed the prince's woman?

An Lehou's face was full of anger, he looked at Su Zhi's face, and then his gaze moved down and fell on Su Zhi's purple dress.

After a few glances, he was stunned.

The crimson of anger on his face immediately turned pale!

His eyes widened, his lips trembled, but he couldn't finish his words, "Helian Mingrui, you...... You ......"

"It's good to think about it. The province has wronged you for the sake of this palace. ”

Helian Mingrui smiled and tapped the table three times.

Bai Zhao pulled An Lehou's face, starting from the hairline, and drawing a circle along the contours of the human face.

Slowly, blood seeped out from where the tip of the knife had been cut, forming a red line.

An Lehou seemed to know his fate, and howled like crazy, "King Chu save me", his whole head was locked in the crook of his arm by Bai Zhao, and his hands fluttered but to no avail.

Bai Zhao glanced at Su Zhi, his gaze was gloomy, as if he wanted to remind her of something.

Su Zhi had a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, in the next second, Bai Zhao's long fingers groped around An Lehou's face, and from the place where the knife slashed, he pulled up a piece of skin.

With a hard pull of his hand, he actually peeled off An Lehou's entire face!

There was a sudden gasp in the courtyard.

An Lehou screamed like a pig, and was thrown to the ground by Bai Zhao, the face that had lost its skin was like a blood-red mask, and the blood was wild, and it was extremely hideous!

All of them were pale and trembling. There are cowardly, bad hearts, fainted on the spot!

Su Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and An Lehou's bloody face made her scalp tingle!

This pervert actually tore people's faces alive?

She looked back at Helian Mingrui, catching a hint of emotion in his eyes.

It's like a mixture of malice and pain.

Immediately, those eyes became cold and silent, like a pool of stagnant water. All emotions disappeared without a trace.

Su Zhi recalled that he held her hand just now, the warmth and peace of mind were like a distant dream...... And the reality is bloody.

This bloody scene made everyone stunned and frightened, and there was a lot of discussion, and some people went to help those who fainted.

In the chaos, a white-bearded old man stood up, his voice trembling, "An Lehou has been loyal for generations, and the ancestors are the founding heroes of Great Xia, and it is against the conscience of heaven for the prince to act like this!" ”

He stomped the ground with his cane.

There was a sudden silence in the field, and only An Lehou could be heard wailing intermittently, as sad as a ghost.

Helian Mingrui's eyes were cold, and he glanced at the white-bearded old man, like a wolf locking on his prey. The old man did not dare to move for a while.

After a while, Helian Mingrui got up, walked leisurely behind Su Zhi, grabbed her slightly trembling shoulders, and chuckled, "Zuo Xiang still thinks more about his own back." ”

His complexion was cold, like an emotionless jade carving, beautiful but frightening.

The old man was stunned, his hands trembled, and his crutches almost fell off, "You will be punished!" ”

"Zuo Xiang's words, this palace once said to An Lehou." Helian Mingrui looked at An Lehou, who was bloody on the ground, and the corners of his mouth provoked a vicious smile, "That day also happened to be March 12th, in Qifeng Palace. Zuo Xiang was also present. You're old, I'm afraid you've forgotten, right? ”

As he spoke, he clamped Su Zhi's shoulders tightly.

Su Zhi was scratched by him and hurt. He was very hard, and the knuckles of his hands trembled, as if to restrain some strong emotion.

Is he angry? She looked up at him, and the smile was so beautiful and cold that she couldn't see anything.

She followed his gaze and scanned the crowd in the field. A few people's eyes flashed with consternation, and more people didn't know why, and their eyes fell on Zuo Xiang.

Zuo Xiang was originally angry, but when he heard Helian Mingrui's words, the old man's face showed panic. His jagged hands trembled, unable to speak, "You ......"

The king of Chu stepped forward to support Zuo Xiang, comforted him warmly, raised his head and said to Helian Mingrui, "Third Emperor Brother, everything can be done in moderation." ”

The sound is calm, but anyone can hear the threat.

Those who are familiar with the temper of the King of Chu know that the calmer he is, the more terrible the anger becomes.

He was really enraged this time.

"Brother Huang's words, you should say this to Zuo Xiang." Helian Mingrui's eyes were cold, and he handed over to the King of Chu for a moment.

Silent.

A dangerous atmosphere spread through the courtyard. Everyone was silent, only the screams echoed.

People who know each other have already figured out that the prince has exempted An Lehou from the death penalty, which is making concessions to the king of Chu? The crown prince is clearly provoking the king of Chu, and is punishing An Lehou with the most terrible punishment.

People who have their faces torn off will soon die from severe pain and festering wounds. This way of dying is much more terrible than cutting off your head!

And this move does not violate the "Great Xia Law", and the king of Chu can't take his handle.

Passed to the emperor, at most scolded the prince a few words. The emperor will not lose the arm of the prince for the sake of a happy marquis.

The prince's move is really extremely insidious and vicious, outrageous!

But no one dared to speak out. touched the prince's scales, and the next one to die tragically may be himself!

Su Zhi looked at everyone's unpredictable expressions, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. What kind of monster is Helian Mingrui? If he makes such a move in front of his ministers, isn't he afraid that people's hearts will be scattered?

An Lehou was still rolling and howling, his prison clothes were all dyed red, and he had turned into a bloody man.

Helian Mingrui glanced at him, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was full of strong disgust, "Find the best doctor and let An Lehou enjoy it for a few more days." ”

With that, he took Su Zhi and walked towards the door. The door is not far from the left phase sitting.

The two passed by the side of King Chu.

King Chu's gaze fell on Su Zhi's side face, and he asked gently, "Si Xi, are you afraid?" ”

Su Zhi was stunned, and realized that the King of Chu was asking herself. She was about to answer, but Helian Mingrui pulled her back, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"The third brother is very attentive to his own people. In recent days, the palace has been eventful, so it must be protected. King Chu looked at the two calmly.

Helian Mingrui glanced at Su Zhi, his gaze was cold and profound, which made Su Zhi panic, but he couldn't read what he meant.

He looked sideways at King Chu again, and his tone was indifferent, "Don't worry about the imperial brother." ”

The two men looked at each other for a moment.

One is cold and waveless, the other is warm and calm, looking at the two brothers from a distance, who are peerless and jade-like, anyone who sees them will sigh that the royal liner has produced many children.

But up close, it's a different story.

The aura around them made Su Zhi's hairs stand on end, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

In the end, it was the King of Chu who smiled and broke the deadlock, "I believe in the third brother's wrist for my brother." It's not early, so I won't send it for my brother. ”

Su Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and left the scene behind Helian Mingrui.

Walking out of the Spiegel Division, she still felt cold, and the chill spread from the inside out.

She looked up and saw that the sky was clear and the wind was warm. It's spring. But walking beside Helian Mingrui, she felt like a noose around her neck.

……

On the way back to the palace.

After getting into the carriage, Helian Mingrui didn't say a word, closed his eyes and fell asleep. fell asleep, fell asleep, and his head fell on Su Zhi's shoulder, but he didn't wake up.

Su Zhi was so pressed that she wanted to push him away, but she couldn't bear it when she saw his tired appearance.

She looked at him silently. His eyelashes were really long, and as the carriage jolted, they trembled and trembled, and there was a little indescribable softness. She couldn't help but brush her fingertips over his eyelashes and across the contours of his cheeks.

An Lehou's blurred flesh and blood suddenly appeared in Su Zhi's mind.

She raised her eyes to look at Helian Mingrui, and her heart was mixed. Who would have thought that such a good-looking person, who looked as gentle as the warm breeze of March when he was asleep, would be so cruel?

She circled her fingers in someone's face. Someone may have felt the itch, snorted softly, and didn't wake up.

Sure enough, I was too tired.

Forget it, just let him lean on for a while.

Su Zhi adjusted his head into a position that was comfortable for both of them. When she was done, she leaned back, looking through the gap in the curtains, looking at the lively crowd outside the carriage, her mind in confusion.

The matter of the Spiegel Division made her incomprehensible: Helian Mingrui didn't care about other people's comments in order to make An Lehou miserable, and even did not hesitate to anger Zuo Xiang, the veteran of the Three Dynasties.

Even the storytellers in the tavern know that if they win the support of the left minister, they will win the support of the wealthy families behind the left minister.

On the issue of establishing a prince, the opinions of these wealthy families in Shangjing were the focus of the emperor's reference.

How did An Lehou provoke him and make him do this regardless of his future?

Also, what did he mean by asking An Lehou to "take a good look" of her?

Su Zhi carefully recalled An Lehou's expression just now, and was a little playful: An Lehou saw her face, and there was nothing abnormal. But when I saw her clothes, my expression changed abruptly.

The crux of the matter lies in this dress.

Helian Mingrui asked her to change into this dress, which has a deep meaning. When An Lehou saw this dress, who did he think of?

Su Zhi felt like a cat's claw in her heart, and thought for a while to get out of the car and ask Bai Han.

After a nervous morning, she was a little tired, and she fell asleep with her head resting on Helian Mingrui's head.

In her sleep, she felt someone hold her hand.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that he was still asleep. The wide palm of her hand enveloped her small hand.

What kind of person is he, so cruel and so gentle...... She thought drowsily.

A few rays of sunlight shone in, warm, like those beautiful afternoons before she crossed over.
