Chapter 321 Killing oneself

At night, Liu Heng couldn't sleep!

Now, he has been confined in the palace for three days to reflect on his mistakes under the emperor's order!

Liu Heng was demoted six levels from a first-rank Taifu to a fourth-rank academician. He could not accept it at all. For the past three days, he was so anxious and angry that he could not sleep at night.

Because he had to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, not only could he not contact the Zhaoyi in the palace, he couldn't even meet Xuanyuan Xiao!

Liu Heng sat in the study for three whole days!

He couldn't understand how things had come to this point. How had Jiao Haixing even entered the capital? What had Huo Xifei written in the booklet he presented to the emperor that even the imperial concubines in the palace were implicated? Most importantly, the emperor had punished him without even asking any questions!

Liu Heng rubbed his temples with a headache. This demotion would probably wipe out all the good reputation he had accumulated!

Sighing, Liu Heng casually raised his head, wanting to stretch his neck, but suddenly his eyes widened.

"Who!" Liu Heng exclaimed.

Because there were no candles, only a faint moonlight shone in through the window. Liu Heng vaguely saw a figure at the door, which scared him out of his wits.

The visitor did not speak and continued to stand quietly at the door.

Liu Heng panicked: "Someone, someone!"

When he was in the study, although he did not allow anyone to accompany him, the secret guards would hide in the dark and listen to his orders at any time!

However, today Liu Heng called out several times, but no one responded.

Liu Heng suddenly panicked!

No one responded, so what did that mean? It could only mean that those secret guards had been dealt with without him knowing!

"Master Liu, do you want to shout louder?" The figure at the door finally spoke and walked out from the darkness. It was Yuan Ziyu.

"It's you!" Liu Heng opened his eyes wide and looked at Yuan Ziyu in disbelief!

Liu Heng hated Yuan Ziyu. It was this girl who ruined his daughter's reputation and prevented her from returning to Beijing. She also almost damaged his own reputation. However, he never took this fourteen-year-old girl seriously.

In his opinion, Yuan Ziyu just had a brave and warlike father and a fiancé who was both civil and military, and they protected her. Although Yuan Ziyu had practiced martial arts since she was a child, she was a girl after all, and was not worth mentioning.

As for Yuan Ziyu, he had always intended to use her as a pawn in the future to help the Second Prince.

However, now this person who was not worth mentioning in his eyes appeared in his study quietly and even dealt with his secret guards!

Liu Heng didn't believe it!

He squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Ziyu, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail. Since Miss Yuan Er has shown her face, you might as well come out and meet her!"

People who stand in the open are always easier to deal with than those who hide in the dark!

No one responded!

Liu Heng sneered, "Why, you're so capable of dealing with my guards, but you don't dare come out to see me?"

"Teacher Liu!" Yuan Ziyou smiled slightly: "Who are you planning to call out?"

"Of course it's your good fiancé!" Liu Heng sneered. Since Yuan Ziyu came here today, Liu Heng naturally understood that the assassin he sent to kill Huo Xifei was known to the other party. "Why, Master Huo is willing to let a delicate little girl like you come to see me alone?"

"Humph!" Yuan Ziyu sneered, "He's truly a scumbag. Even at the brink of death, he still can't produce anything!"

Yuan Ziyou's words made Liu Heng narrow his eyes: "Why, Miss Yuan Er is here to take my life today?"

"Isn't it possible?" Yuan Ziyu asked with a smile.

"Just you?" Liu Heng asked in disbelief, "Don't tell me, Miss Yuan Er, you came here alone!"

"I alone am enough!" Yuan Ziyu said with a cold smile.

"Haha, it seems that Master Huo has no sympathy for women. He actually let you go and seek death alone!"

Liu Heng stood up and stretched his arms and legs. Since he had been planning this for so many years, he had some martial arts skills. If Huo Xifei came, he would be a little worried. But now if only Yuan Ziyu came alone, he would not be afraid. It was not certain who would deal with whom at that time!

Yuan Ziyou looked at Liu Heng and raised an eyebrow. "What's going on? Master Liu, are you going to stop pretending and reveal your true colors?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid Miss Yuan Er won't have the chance to tell anyone about my appearance!" After confirming that Huo Xifei had indeed not come, Liu Heng grinned grimly and drew the soft sword from his waist, slashing at Yuan Ziyu: "Hasn't anyone told you that people who talk too much die quickly? If you want to blame someone, blame Huo Xifei for not coming with you tonight!"

"Master Liu is indeed a real villain!" Yuan Ziyu said calmly, and disappeared in a flash!

Liu Heng's sword hit the air, and he was stunned. There was no trace of Yuan Ziyu in front of him!

Just as he was about to turn around to look for her, he was kicked to the ground from behind.

Liu Heng quickly turned around and saw Yuan Ziyu behind him.

Liu Heng's eyes suddenly widened: "What kind of body movement is this?"

"I'll kill you with your body skills!" Yuan Ziyu smiled coldly and sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills at Liu Heng.

"You..." Liu Heng was shocked when he saw this. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness!

Yuan Ziyu looked coldly at Liu Heng who had fallen to the ground, walked up to him and pulled off his belt, then hung it on the beam and tied a knot.

Now Yuan Ziyu drinks spiritual spring water every day, and his strength is no longer what it used to be. It is still very easy for him to put Liu Heng's head into the belt hanging from the beam.

After doing all this, Yuan Ziyu used the spiritual spring water to wake up Liu Heng!

As soon as Liu Heng woke up, before he could really come to his senses, he felt a tightness around his neck that made his eyes widen.

"Ah...ah..." Liu Heng made a broken sound and wanted to reach out to relieve the pressure on his neck, but he had no strength at all.

At this moment, Liu Heng knew that he had no way to escape tonight!

He glared at Yuan Ziyu angrily, wanting to say something, but the increasingly suffocating feeling made it impossible for him to say anything. He could even hear the crackling sound coming from his neck.

Yuan Ziyu stood coldly below, watching Liu Heng struggle and suffocate... Finally, he kicked his legs a few times and died.

The first one!

Yuan Ziyu looked indifferently at Liu Heng's body hanging on the beam, and silently crossed out the name from the bottom of his heart!

After clearing all traces of his presence, Yuan Ziyu quietly left the Taifu Mansion through the Qiongjiang Pavilion.

The next day, the news of Liu Heng's suicide spread like wildfire, shocking the entire capital.

At the same time, what Liu Heng had done was widely spread!

It was at this time that the common people realized that the upright and honest Master Liu was actually so despicable and shameless.

Liu Heng committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and was left with a deep infamy after his death. Everything he had painstakingly cultivated during his lifetime was gone like a mirage...
