Moli said: "The emperor can tolerate Prince Rui cuckolding him, but he can never tolerate Prince Rui trying to poison him. In addition, Prince Rui intends to rebel, so he demoted Prince Rui to a commoner on the spot and sent him to a prison for life.
.”
Feng Qingyang nodded, "I see, so the prince is still thoughtful. If the emperor hadn't known the true identity of this elixir, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Prince Rui this time.
Now that Prince Rui has been imprisoned for life, our prince finally has one less trouble, and we can finally go find the princess!"
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he was also filled with excitement, "Yes! The king has decided that after the children are settled, we will set off to save the princess in Xueyue Kingdom."
"Okay! Your Majesty, we support you!"
Everyone held out their thumbs and looked at Chu Xuanchen expectantly.
Seeing everyone supporting him so much, Chu Xuanchen was very moved.
These are his good brothers.
This time, thanks to them, he was able to successfully complete the mission, avenge Taifu Han's family, and also solve a big trouble for himself.
-
The news that Prince Rui was thrown into a prison soon spread to Prince Rui's mansion.
Liu Qingqing didn't expect that before she could live a peaceful life for a few days, Prince Rui would end up like this.
Prince Rui was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in a prison for life, and she and Chu Zixi could not escape.
Thinking of the cold, damp and dark place in Tianlao made her scalp numb.
She didn't want to go to Tianlao, and she didn't want to live in such dark days with Zixi.
Thinking of this, she made some calculations in her mind and decided to take away the money from Prince Rui's Mansion and run away with Chu Zixi with Yanyan.
Once the decision was made, Liu Qingqing quickly plundered a large amount of gold and silver treasures from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Then, she asked Yanyan to put the treasure on the carriage, then took Chu Zixi and quickly left the city under the night.
Soon, the carriage was driving on the official road out of the city.
On the carriage, Liu Qingqing and Yanyan looked a little panicked. After all, they were running away at night.
Seeing Liu Qingqing's panicked expression, Yanyan couldn't help but said: "Madam, are we really leaving like this?
Do you really not want to see the prince?
After all, he is so miserable now."
Thinking of Prince Rui, Liu Qingqing felt very uncomfortable.
But thinking about her future, she said cruelly: "He has been demoted to a commoner, what else do you want to see him do?
It’s business for us to run away quickly.”
"But the prince loves you and Master Zixi so much. He must really want you to visit him now. If we just leave like this, he will definitely be very sad."
Yanyan couldn't bear it.
Liu Qingqing immediately glared at her, "That's enough! When he was a prince, it was good for us to be close to him. Now that he has nothing and will lose his life at any time, wouldn't we be courting death by following him again?
I'm still young and I still have a bright future. I don't want to be locked up in that cold sky prison with him.
And my Zixi, I don’t want him to suffer along with me, so we must escape, as far away as possible.”
Seeing the second lady being so ruthless, Yanyan felt a little chilled.
After all, the prince has been very kind to the second lady for so many years. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was in trouble, the second lady would abandon him and take away a large amount of his property.
"Uh...Second Madam, there is someone blocking the road ahead."
At this moment, the coachman's voice came from ahead, and the carriage gradually stopped.
Hearing this, Liu Qingqing looked stern, and she quickly said: "What's going on?
Who dares to block the road?"
"Madam, okay...it seems like a killer is here."
The driver looked at the gleaming knife in the hand of the man who blocked the road. He was so frightened that his heart broke and he stepped back.
"What, killer?"
Liu Qingqing's heart tightened.
She quickly opened the curtain and saw several masked men in black standing in front of the carriage.
Those men in black all held bright swords in their hands, their eyes looked fierce and they were filled with murderous intent.
A gust of cold wind blew by, lifting their robes, making them look even colder and weirder, like evil ghosts from hell.
This scene made Liu Qingqing's scalp numb, and she quickly hugged Chu Zixi in her arms.
"Mom, I'm so scared."
Seeing those killers, Chu Zixi was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.
"Zixi, don't be afraid, my mother will protect you."
With that said, Liu Qingqing stuffed Chu Zixi into Yanyan's arms and said, "Yanyan, help me hold Zixi, protect him, and I'll talk to them."
"yes."
Yanyan said, fearfully holding Chu Zixi in her arms.
Then, Liu Qingqing looked at the men in black, mustered up her courage, and said tremblingly: "Dare...dare I ask who you are?
Why are you blocking our way?"
"Liu Qingqing, right?
Our master wants to see you, please come down!"
A man in black said in a deep voice.
"You, who is your master?
Why does he want to see me?"
Liu Qingqing trembled.
"Stop talking nonsense. Come down as soon as I tell you. If you don't obey me, you will be killed!"
The man in black said impatiently.
Liu Qingqing said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll be down right away."
With that said, she slowly stepped out of the carriage, then looked at everyone, swallowed, and said: "Brothers, I have no grudges with you, why do you want to stop me?
I have some money there, why don't you take it and please let us live?"
"Liu Qingqing! Do you think your money can win people's hearts?"
At this time, in the darkness, a low, ghostly female voice came.
Hearing this voice, Liu Qingqing suddenly felt that it was very familiar.
Her pupils were so frightened that she looked towards the direction of the sound in disbelief, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Can't you tell?
Liu Qingqing, I’m here to demand my life from you!”
The woman's voice was dark and cold. As she spoke, she had already walked out of the darkness.
Liu Qingqing took a closer look and saw a woman wearing a black dress and a black gauze cloak walking not far away.
The cold wind blew, blowing the black robe on the woman's body and lifting the gauze scarf on her head, making her look like a female ghost seeking her life.
She was immediately frightened and stepped back, "You, who are you?
I have no grudges against you, why are you asking for my life?"
"Liu Qingqing, look at me, do you really have no grudges against me?"
As the woman spoke, she lifted the gauze curtain above her head, revealing her eerie white face.
The moment she saw the woman's face, Liu Qingqing was so frightened that she almost suffered a cardiac arrest, "Zhou...Zhou Jingyi, why is it you?
Weren't you poisoned to death?
Are you a human or a ghost?"
Princess Rui said gloomily: "Just think of me as a ghost! Liu Qingqing, I clearly did not assassinate you, but you framed me and caused Prince Rui to kill my child. I will kill you and your son, for
My poor boy takes revenge!"
As she spoke, Princess Rui suddenly raised her hand, and there was already a dagger in her hand.
Then, she stabbed Liu Qingqing's chest with the dagger, causing Liu Qingqing to scream in panic, "No!"
