The first thing you feel when you step into Prince Mu's Mansion is the deathly silence.
Even the gate of Prince Mu's Mansion was not guarded by a concierge. Duiying stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
Duoying turned around and said to Luo Junyao: "Princess, why don't you go in first..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Luo Junyao reaching out and pushing open the heavy door of Prince Mu's Mansion.
"..." Duoying was silent, "Princess, this..."
Luo Junyao said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for anyone to answer the door, so let's go in directly."
Diying frowned, and he was even more worried about this situation. Something must have happened in Prince Mu's Mansion, but there were too many things going on in the city last night. Who has the time to care about them? They are not dead yet and have not been sent to the sky prison.
All the courtiers were either busy outside or attending court, so that no one knew what happened to Prince Mu's palace.
After hesitating for a moment, Duixing said: "Sir, will you go in first and take a look?"
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you'll never come back, and I'll have to rescue you. Let's go together."
"..." I went to the meeting and never came back. If we went together, wouldn't it mean that we would be taken over by someone else?
Although Dieying had a lot to complain about in her heart, she could only follow Luo Junyao and push open the door and walk into Prince Mu's Mansion.
Qin Yao'er and Ling Lan also followed behind. Unlike Ling Lan's vigilance, Qin Yao'er seemed to be in high spirits, looking around excitedly.
Walking all the way in, I met no one. Not only did I not see the masters of Prince Mu's Mansion, I didn't even see the maids and servants of the Prince's Mansion.
A group of four people stopped at the intersection of the garden, "Princess, would you like to go and see King Mu's courtyard first?"
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Princess Mu's courtyard? I think Master Mingguang should be there." As soon as she finished speaking, the four of them saw an extra person at the end of the garden path.
The man seemed to be quite old. He was wearing a gray-blue cloth and seemed to be an ordinary person. But the person who would appear here at this time would naturally not be really ordinary.
The man walked up to the four of them, bowed his head respectfully to Luo Junyao, and said, "I have met the princess, and I would like to invite you."
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and asked: "Young Master? Which Young Master?"
The man said: "Of course he is our son, the uncle of you and His Highness the Regent."
Luo Junyao nodded, "Are you all from the Yao family? It turns out that uncle is really here, so let's go quickly."
The man led the four people towards the inner courtyard, which was indeed the direction of Princess Mu's courtyard.
As they walked, Luo Junyao asked casually: "Where are the girls and servants in this mansion? Could it be that they were all killed by my uncle?"
The man turned back and glanced at Luo Junyao, smiled and said: "The princess is joking, the young master did not kill anyone, he is not a murderer."
Qin Yao'er followed Luo Junyao and couldn't help but said: "Did your young master give them a holiday?"
The man didn't answer, and Luo Junyao suddenly sighed softly.
The man was a little confused and asked: "Why did the princess sigh?"
Luo Junyao said: "I suddenly remembered that my uncle wanted to take revenge. But... our prince seems to be the son of his enemy. Diying, do you think we have fallen into a trap ourselves?"
The expression on Dieying's face was a little bitter, and her heart was even more bitter: Princess, did you just think of this problem now? Even if you did, why would you say it?
The man seemed to be stunned by Luo Junyao's words. When he came back to his senses, he said: "The princess was joking."
As they walked in, Prince Mu's mansion was very clean. The man said that Yao Zhong did not kill anyone, and Luo Junyao believed it. It was not until they entered the courtyard where Princess Mu lived that they smelled the faint smell of blood.
Outside Princess Mu's Buddhist hall, there was a crowd of people kneeling in the crowd.
Looking around, they were all the concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, and grandchildren of King Mu. Because Xie Yan had a cold relationship with Prince Mu’s Mansion, although Luo Junyao could be regarded as the daughter-in-law of Prince Mu’s Mansion, he really didn’t carefully calculate how many people there were in Prince Mu’s Mansion.
The only people she remembered were Xie Heng and Xie Chan, but King Mu did not have other concubines and concubines, and there were quite a lot of them. Luo Junyao even saw Xie Chengyou and Xie Chengyou, whom he had not seen for several days, in the crowd.
Shen Lingxiang.
Both of them were very embarrassed at this time. It was obvious that they had been pulled directly from the bed in their sleep. Except for the child who was wrapped in thick clothes, most of the others were only wearing a coat. It was not very cold in this winter morning.
Shivering?
Moreover, these people's bodies and heads were already soaked with dew, which showed that they had been kneeling here for a long time.
Seeing Luo Junyao coming over, Shen Lingxiang could no longer care about the thoughts he had about Luo Junyao, and couldn't help but want to rush out and ask for help, "Shaoyao! Shake, save me!"
But as soon as she moved, a bright knife was placed on her neck. Shen Lingxiang's screams stopped abruptly, and she could only cower and tremble beside Xie Chengyou.
Xie Chengyou did not reach out to help Shen Lingxiang. He looked up at Luo Junyao with complicated eyes.
Luo Junyao ignored them and led the people towards the door of the Buddhist hall.
"Is it Jun Yao here?" Before he reached the door, he heard Yao Zhong's voice coming from inside.
Luo Junyao paused for a moment, then said, "Uncle, excuse me, can you come in?"
Inside, Yao Zhong smiled and said, "Of course, come in. Be careful, don't be scared." His voice seemed to be caring and doting, as if he was an elder who truly loved his younger generation.
Luo Jun shook his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat, Dui Ying stepped forward and blocked her in front of her.
Luo Junyao reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." Then he walked past the overlapping shadows towards the door of the Buddhist hall.
Luo Junyao stood at the door of the Buddhist hall and glanced inside calmly.
I really can’t say whether this place can still be called a Buddhist temple.
The smell of blood they smelled at the entrance of the small courtyard came from inside.
There are dozens of tablets in front of the shrine in front of the Buddhist hall. At first glance, they are the spiritual tablets of someone named Yao. There are mottled bloodstains on the Buddha statue behind the spiritual tablets, especially the bloodstains that have not fallen from the eyes of the Buddha.
It has not dried up and looks like tears of blood coming from Buddha's eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In front of these tablets, there are five bloody heads placed neatly.
The visual impact was so great that even the daring Qin Yao'er screamed in fright, hiding behind Luo Junyao and tightly tugging on Ling Lan's sleeves.
Yao Zhong is sitting in front of these Buddha statues and heads. A middle-aged man in a green gown with a handsome and elegant smile. This demeanor is not to mention the appearance of Xie Yan, not to mention the famous sons, Confucian scholars and talents in Shangyonghuang City today.
His demeanor is a little less elegant and calm in comparison. This is a truly first-class noble man raised by a famous family.
If there wasn't such a terrible background behind him.
There were several people kneeling in the Buddhist hall. Concubine Fan, Xie Heng and Xie Jun, as well as their wives, were kneeling near the door and against the wall.
In the center of the lobby, kneeling in front of Yao Zhong were Yao Yun and King Mu.
The two people looked really miserable at this time, because they were not kneeling directly on the ground, but on a nail board placed on the ground.
The blood had already stained the nail board red, and even flowed along the nail board to the floor of the Buddhist hall.
Luo Junyao thought of the legendary nail board that those who complained against the emperor were said to be rolled over.
Looking at the shining nail boards and the flowing blood, no matter how this matter is resolved, the legs of these two people may not be saved.
The two of them were wearing thin clothes, their faces were earthy, and they looked like they were about to lose their support. Especially King Mu, who had difficulty moving. At this time, it was better to say that he was kneeling, rather than supporting his body with his two hands. Because once he let go
, he will fall directly forward, and will be stabbed even more severely by the nail board.
"Shake... shake shake, save, save me..." Princess Mu turned back to look at Luo Junyao a little slowly, her eyes flashed with joy for a moment, I don't know if it was because she was too weak or for some reason, her voice was hoarse and low, if you don't pay attention carefully
It was almost hard to hear Luo Junyao clearly.
Luo Junyao sighed softly and stepped into the Buddhist hall, "Excuse me."
Yao Zhong held his forehead with one hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't bother me, but you're late."
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it too late?"
"Bai Jingrong has left. You missed a good show." Yao Chong said with a smile.
Luo Junyao said: "Rather than missing the good show, I am more curious that you would let Bai Jingrong go so easily."
Yao Zhong sighed and said: "There is no way, my nephew is unfilial. How can I deal with the Queen of the Qi Clan on my own and with little strength? I can only let her go."
Luo Junyao smiled and made no comment on his words. Yao Zhong seemed to be in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Junyao and said, "You don't believe it?"
Luo Junyao nodded honestly and said, "I don't believe it."
Yao Zhong said: "You look like a cute and well-behaved girl, but sometimes you can be a bit boring."
Luo Junyao asked: "Is uncle waiting for Ayan?"
Yao Zhong said calmly: "He doesn't do this himself but asks you to do it. Are you really not afraid of what I will do to you?"
Luo Junyao tilted his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Uncle, at this distance between us, do you think you are faster or I am faster?" As soon as he said this, the people standing aside who were obviously Yao Zhong's subordinates immediately stared at Luo Junyao warily.
But Dieying didn't know it was the right time and had already arrived at his side. She glanced at him sideways with a half-smile, then raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
Yao Zhong changed his posture and sat up straight, making a scared expression towards Luo Junyao, "You are indeed as unfilial as Zhi Fei."
Luo Junyao thought to himself: If I were more filial, I would give you a knife as soon as we met.
Yao Zhong quickly returned to his normal expression and said: "I know you are still angry that I poisoned your father, but you don't want to think about it. I helped him avoid a huge trouble. He just lay on the bed for a few days.
God, the Luo family has made a lot of money, okay?"
Luo Junyao said coldly: "Yes, many people were discussing last night whether my father wanted to help A Yan usurp the throne, so he avoided it and let the chaos in the city go."
Yao Zhong was stunned for a moment, and soon burst out laughing again.
After laughing for a while, he sighed again and said: "Xie Zhang and Xue Ya are indeed no match for Zhi Fei. It's a pity..." Yao Zhong shook his head, "Forget it, whoever is named Xie is in the world and has nothing to do with me.
.Zhifei doesn’t know what I was going to do last night. He hasn’t shown up yet. Does it seem like he really doesn’t want to care about his parents anymore?”
Luo Jun said: "Uncle, Ayan is attending the morning court now." It was so chaotic last night. If the morning court was ignored, who knows how many things would happen.
Yao Zhong looked at King Mu and Princess Mu who were kneeling on the ground with some regret, and sighed: "Look, you lost this round again."
"Big, big brother..." Princess Mu called tremblingly, her beautiful face seemed to have become much older overnight.
Yao Chong looked down at the woman in front of him and said calmly: "More than twenty years ago, you said personally that you would never regret it. Now, have you regretted it? Ah Yun, you have disappointed me so much."
Princess Mu trembled and begged: "Brother, I was wrong...I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Yao Zhong said: "Look at the tablets behind me and ask them if they are willing to forgive you. If they are willing, the matter will be over."
"..." If the tablet can still respond, then it's really a ghost.
"Brother..."
Yao Zhong sneered and stretched out his hand to the person standing next to him.
A young man standing next to Yao Zhong handed a dagger to Yao Zhong with both hands. Yao Zhong took it, weighed it in his hands, and then threw it to the ground.
Yao Zhong said calmly: "You lost three games in a row last night, and now it's time to settle the score. Count how many tablets there are behind me, or you can personally pick the same number from those outside the door and kill them. Or,
Stabbing the opponent. One tablet and one stab, it’s fair.”
The sound of the dagger hitting the ground woke up King Mu, who was already a little conscious. He stared at Yao Zhong in front of him in horror, as if he was an evil ghost.
Yao Zhong sneered and winked at the young man.
The young man nodded, went up to Princess Mu and King Mu, stuffed a pill into each of their mouths, held their chins and forced them to swallow it.
After taking this pill, the two people's originally gloomy faces immediately turned rosy visibly, and King Mu's spirit seemed to be much better.
Qin Yao'er sneaked up behind Luo Junyao and whispered: "That's a medicine that can stimulate physical strength and energy. It's very effective, but it also has serious side effects."
There were only a few people standing in the Buddhist hall. No matter how sneaky Qin Yao'er was, she couldn't avoid others' eyes.
Yao Zhong glanced at her with a half-smile but Qin Yao'er was really a little frightened by this good-looking man. He immediately shrunk his neck and squatted behind the chair that Luo Jun was shaking.
"You, you madman!" King Mu regained his energy and seemed to have forgotten even the pain in his legs, and couldn't help cursing.
Yao Zhong did not feel dissatisfied and said calmly: "Now that you have fallen into the hands of a madman, what is this? Is it retribution?"
King Mu gritted his teeth, glared at Yao Zhong fiercely, then looked at Luo Junyao, and said angrily: "Where is Xie Yan! Does that scoundrel want to see me killed by this madman?!"
Luo Junyao held up his chin and said with some embarrassment: "His Royal Highness King Mu, he is a madman, Ayan is an evil son, I think they are the same family. How about you look at your other sons?"
If the other sons were useful, how could King Mu remember Xie Yan?
In fact, it's not that King Mu didn't think about going to Xie Yan for help. Unfortunately, Yao Chong came too quickly and suddenly, and it was so chaotic last night that King Mu's people couldn't find Xie Yan himself.
Yao Zhong looked at Princess Mu with a gentle expression, "Ayun, you have to choose what to do."
"Brother, I..." Princess Mu trembled, her eyes filled with tears.
It's just that the stunning beauty of Dongling's twin sisters could no longer arouse anyone's pity. Although Yao Zhong's eyes were as gentle as ever, he said softly: "As long as you personally avenge the Yao family, you will still be the eldest lady of the Yao family, or
My sister, my parents will forgive you. Or if you want to be a good aunt, I will pretend that there has never been someone like you in the Yao family. After you and him are dead, I will never cause trouble to anyone in Prince Mu's palace."
"No..." Princess Mu shook her head repeatedly, looking at the dagger on the ground with fear and resistance in her eyes.
Yao Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at King Mu, "She doesn't want to choose? You choose."
King Mu stared at Yao Zhong without saying anything, with a look like "I don't choose, let's see what you can do to me."
Yao Zhong sneered, "You think I can't do anything to you like this? It seems that you have forgotten what happened to those who tried to disobey me back then."
King Mu seemed to have remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.
The next moment he saw Yao Zhong curling his lips slightly and pointing to the person kneeling by the wall, "Whoever wants to survive, come over and pick up the knife on the ground and stab each of these two people. Then you can go back to your own yard to rest."
It’s on.”
Not only the people kneeling in the corner, but also the people outside were shocked when they heard this.
Then Yao Zhong continued: "The same goes for people outside."
"..." Naturally, no one answered. Patricide is a heinous crime, and one cannot escape it even if it is forced.
If they really do it, even if they survive today, they will be worse than dead tomorrow.
Yao Zhong was not in a hurry, as if he was sure that someone would make a choice.
"Young Master, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you." A middle-aged man stood at the door and reported.
Yao Zhong was a little surprised, "You want to see me?"
"yes."
"Who?" Not many people in the world know that he is still alive, and even fewer people know that he is now in Prince Mu's Mansion. Yet the other party asks to see him by name?
The middle-aged man said: "The man said his surname is Shang."
