Chapter 18: Strength is the Devil
When Zhu Zhuqing returned to Xingluo City, he heard several exciting news, and his young heart was once again injured by 10,000 points.
When Zhu Zhuqing first heard the exciting news, his head was buzzing, although he already knew the result, but when it really came, it was still somewhat unacceptable.
Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly ran back to the Duke's Mansion, now what she was thinking about was the second sister, how should she deal with today's misfortune.
The voices of the maids behind her greeting her were like a gust of breeze, and there was no possibility for Zhu Zhuqing to stop.
When Zhu Zhuqing pushed open the door of the second sister's room, she had the best time with herself on weekdays, and the frolicking second sister was like a stake sitting on the stool in front of the dresser.
The sound of opening the door did not make the second sister turn back, Zhu Zhuqing cautiously approached the second sister, until he stood beside the second sister, and found that the second sister was stunned at the moment, and her eyes had lost their light.
The second sister just looked out of the window blankly, a cool breeze blew, and the green silk rose with the wind, blurring her eyes, which made Zhu Zhuqing feel distressed.
Zhu Zhuqing gently took the second sister's hand, and the second sister just looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a slight tilt of her head and a sluggish expression, losing her lively temperament in the past.
"Second sister......" Zhu Zhuqing's tears swirled in his eyes, if you want to say who Zhu Zhuqing is closest to in the Duke's Palace, it is the second sister who has lost her soul in front of her.
"Third sister, you, you're back!"
"Second sister, I, I've heard about the second prince, you...... It's cranky. ”
Zhu Zhuqing choked up for a while, and didn't know how to comfort the second sister.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing mention the second prince, the corners of the second sister's mouth twitched slightly, and she wanted to say something but never spoke.
just turned his head slowly again, like a clay sculpture, and Zhu Zhu's clear heart was like a knife. The former second sister is afraid that she will never come back.
As the concubine of the Zhu family who married the second prince of the Star Luo Empire, where is her path when the second prince dies?
"Second sister, don't be like this."
Zhu Zhuqing held the hand of the second sister, for the injustice of fate, and at the same time, Zhu Zhuqing really hated this way of marriage.
The daughter of the Zhu family has no choice, her fate is doomed when she is born, in this battle for power, the person who wins in the end can live, as for the loser, there is no choice but to die.
According to the information obtained by Zhu Zhuqing, the second prince was killed by a soul beast while hunting for the third soul ring.
But Zhu Zhuqing understood that this was impossible, in the Royal Academy, although he didn't care much about things other than himself.
But she still knows something about the second sister, the marriage partner, and in terms of talent, the second prince is the strongest of the three princes.
A few years younger than Davis, but his cultivation speed is far beyond Davis, and his soul power is even closer to Davis, as a fighter for imperial power, the second prince obviously has a better chance of winning.
Obviously, some people don't want to have opponents who are stronger than themselves, especially those who are more talented than themselves.
Now this battle for imperial power has not ended because of the death of the second prince, but there is just one less person to participate in the competition.
It's just that the biggest victim now is indeed the daughter of the Zhu family in the room.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly closed the door, walking absentmindedly in the Duke's Palace, another unexpected news in his mind knocked on Zhu Zhuqing's head.
The third prince, Dai Mubai, fled from the Star Luo Empire and disappeared, hearing the news, Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
originally thought that he would be able to see his strong people make changes, but he didn't expect to be as incompetent as the original book.
He threw himself away and fled, not thinking about what kind of danger Zhu Zhuqing would encounter if he stayed alone in the Star Luo Empire.
The last time he saw Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing still remembered it clearly, but he didn't expect him to slip away a few months ago.
It turned out that he was here to bid farewell to himself, Zhu Zhuqing stopped and looked up at the cloudy sky, who would be next? The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled bitterly, at this moment her heart was lonely and helpless.
With the death of the second prince, the status of the second sister in the Zhu family has plummeted, and even Zhu Yuntian rarely asks and cares, for such a family, how much affection does Zhu Zhuqing still have?
The three daughters are just a guarantee for Zhu Yuntian to gain permanent power, as for who wins in the end, it has no impact on the Zhu family, and as for the loser, how can they care.
The next day, Zhu Zhuqing came to Zhu Yuntian's study, and when he learned that Zhu Zhuqing's soul power had reached level 20, Zhu Yuntian was shocked at first, and then laughed.
Gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder with his hand, although Zhu Yuntian's attitude towards the second sister made Zhu Zhuqing a little bored, but now he can at least use the Zhu family to do something useful for himself.
For example, hunting the soul ring, it is better to have someone to help than no one to help, which is also the reason why Zhu Zhuqing did not turn his face because of the change in the Zhu family's attitude towards the second sister.
"Zhuqing, you are really a good daughter of your father, and this kind of talent is also one of the best in the entire Star Luo Empire."
Zhu Yuntian's happy mood was beyond words, and the laughter was almost audible outside the mansion.
Zhu Yuntian found that Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to be happy at all, and asked, "Zhuqing, how do you see that you are sad?" How? Someone bullied you? ”
"Father, second sister, she ......"
Before Zhu Zhuqing's words were finished, Zhu Yuntian's originally smiling face became gloomy in an instant.
"It's not for you to ask."
"But the second sister is ......"
"Zhuqing, what you should be concerned about now is how to improve yourself, as for your second sister's affairs, my father knows how to do it. Do you understand? ”
Looking at Zhu Yuntian's unhappy face, Zhu Zhuqing had a lot of words to his lips and finally swallowed them.
Zhu Zhuqing was very disappointed in his heart, lowered his head, and whispered: "Got it, father!" ”
Zhu Yuntian let out a long sigh, turned around and walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side, bent over, saw Zhu Zhuqing's unhappy appearance, and comforted him.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of your second sister's side, and now you also need a second soul ring. I'll arrange for a few people to follow you to hunt for soul rings. ”
Zhu Zhuqing nodded when he heard this, in order to ensure that there were no accidents, Zhu Zhuqing made a request.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's request, Zhu Yuntian agreed directly without thinking about it.
"Thank you, father!"
"Okay, let's rest at home for two days first, and I'll let you know when I arrange the manpower."
"Yes."
"Go ahead and get some rest."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to stay for a moment, and turned around and left Zhu Yuntian's study.
Two days later, a gorgeous carriage stopped outside the Duke's Palace, and several guards saw Zhu Zhuqing come out and immediately bowed.
"I've seen Miss Three."
"See your lord!"
Zhu Yuntian is also rare to personally send Zhu Zhuqing out, and Zhu Zhuqing looked back at the second sister standing next to Zhu Yuntian before boarding the carriage.
"Second sister, take care, don't forget the agreement between our sisters."
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, the second sister finally showed a long-lost smile, smiled and nodded, which was a response to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing boarded the carriage and waved goodbye before leaving.
