At this time, Prince Rui's cold voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this sound, the assassins quickly turned around and found that they were surrounded by a group of guards with torches!
Only then did the leader realize that they had fallen into a trap!
He was immediately panicked and said in a deep voice: "Let's go quickly."
With that said, they were about to run outside.
"kill!"
Prince Rui waved his hand coldly, and the guards rushed forward and started fighting with the assassins.
Unfortunately, there were too few assassins, and they were no match for the guards.
So soon, several assassins fell to the ground and died on the spot.
Finally, A Lang caught the assassin leader and kicked him hard, knocking him to his knees on the ground.
Then, he pulled off the scarf from the leader's face. When he saw the man's face clearly, he had a cold look on his face, "My lord, this is Zhang Yang, the princess's confidant."
Zhang Yang looked at Prince Rui, lowered his head with some guilt, and his body was trembling.
Prince Rui stepped forward, pinched Zhang Yang's chin, and said coldly: "It is indeed you.
Zhang Yang, tell me, did the princess send you to get tattoos?"
These cronies were brought to Prince Rui's Mansion from the Zhou family by Zhou Jingyi, and they were Zhou Yifeng's former soldiers.
They only take orders from Zhou Jingyi.
He already knew the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear Zhang Yang say it with his own ears.
He really couldn't believe that there was such a vicious woman in the world.
Zhang Yang blinked guiltily and denied, "No, the princess didn't send us here, we came here ourselves.
If the prince wants to blame, then blame us, don’t blame the princess.”
"You are still talking tough even when you are about to die?"
Prince Rui pinched Nervous Yang's chin hard, his eyes flashing with overwhelming rage, "It seems that Zhou Jingyi has trained you to be very loyal, so you won't tell the truth, right?"
Then I will remove your jaw first!"
As he spoke, he twisted his hand hard, and with a "click" sound, Zhang Yang's chin was removed.
"ah!"
Zhang Yang was immediately in pain, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.
But he still struggled to say: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's really not the Princess who sent us here. It's because we can't see it ourselves. We...we came here on our own."
"Can't you see it?
What do my king’s women and children have to do with you, that it’s your turn to point your fingers at them?”
King Rui said angrily.
Zhang Yang said painfully: "The prince once promised the princess that he would not take concubines, so the princess agreed to marry you. Now that the prince has broken his promise, of course we must seek... justice for the princess.
But all this is our own decision and has nothing to do with the princess..."
"presumptuous!"
There was a strong storm in Prince Rui's eyes, "I am the prince of a country, and I can marry whomever I want. It's not your turn to stand up for Zhou Jingyi yet.
Even if you don’t admit it, I still know that Zhou Jingyi is the mastermind behind this matter, and I will definitely not let her go!”
"Your Majesty..."
"Anyone who dares to harm this king will only die! Ah Lang, take action!"
King Rui said sharply.
He gave the order, and Ah Lang immediately stepped forward and pierced Zhang Yang's chest with his sword.
With a "pop" sound, Zhang Yang spit out a large mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, I'm so scared."
At this time, Liu Qingqing walked out of the next room with Yanyan.
As soon as she walked out, she quickly hid in Prince Rui's arms.
Prince Rui immediately held her in his arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, the assassin has been killed by me!"
At this time, A Lang waved his hand coldly, and the guards dragged out all the corpses on the ground.
Seeing that all the corpses were dragged away, Liu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
But she still looked at Prince Rui in fear, "Your Majesty, I have never thought about fighting with my sister, why is she so vicious?
If you hadn't received the message in advance and asked Zixi and I to hide in the next room, I'm afraid it would be me and Zixi who died now."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Princess is too cruel. Master Zixi is your own flesh and blood. How could the Princess kill him?"
Yanyan next to her was also afraid of the tunnel.
After hearing the words of the two people, Prince Rui clenched his fists bitterly, "This poisonous woman is simply too cruel. Qingqing, just wait, I will definitely vent this evil anger on you."
Liu Qingqing was a little worried and said: "But Your Majesty, my sister is also pregnant with your child, otherwise let's just forget about it!"
"never mind?
If she dares to hurt you, I will never be done with her!"
Prince Rui shouted angrily, "Before, I thought she was pitiful and decided to let her give birth to this child. Now it seems that she is not worthy of giving birth to my son."
"But Your Majesty, what is in the Princess's belly is your own flesh and blood. It is still a small life after all. Can you forgive them?"
Liu Qingqing begged.
Prince Rui held her little face and sighed: "Qingqing, you are so kind, you don't even know that she is a poisonous snake, a cold poisonous snake.
Ever since this king got married to her, she has always been very jealous, and she cannot tolerate any woman in her eyes.
On the surface, she wants to take a concubine for me, but in fact, she is testing me. In fact, she is not so generous at all.
Otherwise, I would not have been guarding her and hiding you here."
"As for the child, once she gives birth to my king's child, the child will become her bargaining chip and a tool for her to blackmail me.
I don’t want to be controlled by her, as long as I have you and Zixi, that’s enough!”
"Then Prince, what are you going to do?"
Liu Qingqing said softly.
Prince Rui thought for a while and said: "I decided to follow the original plan and continue to let her drink bird's nest."
"Ah..." Liu Qingqing exclaimed in fright, "Your Majesty, Xuemei added safflower to the bird's nest. If taken for a long time, pregnant women will have miscarriages.
Wouldn't it be too cruel to treat the princess like this?"
"Qingqing, those who achieve great things cannot have the kindness of women.
She wants to take your life, why do you still sympathize with her?"
When King Rui said this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "She hates you mother and son so much, right?
Then I want to take you home, and I want to see if she dares to hurt you in front of my eyes."
Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's eyes flashed with secret joy.
Great, she and Zixi can finally live in Prince Rui's Mansion.
It seems that Princess Rui's assassination actually helped them.
-
Prince Rui's Mansion
While Princess Rui was sitting in the room anxiously waiting for news about Zhang Yang, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside.
"Princess, the prince is back!"
Xuemei walked in and gave Princess Rui a meaningful look.
Princess Rui was startled.
Why did King Rui suddenly come back in the middle of the night?
Hearing the messy footsteps, a bad premonition overflowed in her heart.
Could it be that Zhang Yang failed?
At this moment, Prince Rui had already walked in with Liu Qingqing, Chu Zixi and others.
