A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...
Hearing his words, Zhao Shu sneered, "Your brother-in-law is truly amusing, so humorous. You should be a storyteller." She glanced at Hao Zi, who was writhing in pain, "Hasn't Your Brother-in-law ever heard the saying, 'The victor is king, the loser is a bandit'? As long as I live, I can control history. I can say how you died, and that's how you died in history. If I say you committed treason, no one will dare to say you're innocent. Right now, isn't it just the three of us? If you die, only Heaven, Earth, and I know. Will Heaven tell others that I killed you?"
Having said that, he glanced at Xiao Guozi and the others, and Xiao Guozi immediately said, "The princess ordered you to die at midnight, how can we delay until dawn?"
Zhao Shu gave Xiao Guozi an approving look, "Besides, you plotted to harm the Crown Prince. I can fabricate a whole bunch of evidence for you in no time. Don't forget, that maid is still alive. Even if the whole world knows that I killed you and wiped out your entire clan, so what?"
"Hey, Imperial Uncle, I keep my word and will never kill you." Zhao Shu handed the medicine to Hao Zekai. He tried to overturn the bowl, but Zhihai grabbed his wrist. He winced in pain and glared at Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu smiled at him and pulled the dagger nailed to the ground without hesitation. He cried out in pain, "Ah!" Zhao Shu didn't care whether he was in pain or not. She grabbed his bloody hand and forced the bowl into his hand.
She was weak, so Chu Chun rushed forward to help, using all her strength to force him to hold the medicine bowl firmly in his hand and bring it to Hao Zi's mouth.
"If others want the crown prince to die, he won't be angry or heartbroken; he'll only retaliate. But if the person he trusts most wants him to die, his heart will ache, he'll be in unbearable pain, and he'll die from the pain even without poison! Hey!"
Zhao Shu stood up, her heart pounding. Even if she tortured the father and son to death, it wouldn't make up for her Crown Prince brother!
Following Zhao Shu's orders, the group pried open Hao Zi's mouth and forced him to drink a whole bowl of daphne soup.
The dosage was too strong. He had just drunk it when he began to vomit within two breaths, his whole body convulsed, and he had difficulty breathing.
Zhao Shu stood aside and watched coldly. Xiao Guozi and the others stood beside her, watching coldly as Hao Zi slowly stopped breathing. The Heavenly Fairy could drive people mad, but before he could even go mad, his heart meridian burst and he died.
"Your brother-in-law, you killed your father with your own hands. It has nothing to do with me, so don't make baseless accusations." Zhao Shu looked at him mockingly.
Hao Zekai was so frightened that his lips trembled. He pointed at Zhao Shu, unable to speak. Zhao Shu waited for him to recover, amused. He did not disappoint her and quickly said, "You said you wouldn't kill me."
Fear of death is a human instinct, and he was afraid of death too. He had beautiful concubines and wives waiting at home, so how could he die?
"Now you know you're scared of death, huh?" Zhao Shu clapped her hands, turned around, and prepared to leave. How could she feel relieved if Hao Zi died? "I said I wouldn't kill you, but you know what a human pig is, right? Don't worry, I won't let you die. I'll make you watch the Crown Prince inherit the throne and rule the world, and watch your clan suffer a terrible end because of you!"
Compared to Hao Jie, it was Hao Zekai who made Zhao Shu wary. He was good at manipulating people's minds, and for someone who was good at manipulating people's minds, death was too good for him.
Zhao Shu didn't know what Hao Zekai and the Crown Prince had said, but she could guess that they must have said something like what they had just said: only death would be the best thing for everyone, death would be the only relief, the only way out!
In their past life, the crown prince was deposed, and the Hao family did not help him. In this life, the crown prince is in great trouble, and the Hao family did not help him either. Instead, they stabbed him in the back.
No, it was like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
Both she and the Crown Prince had bad luck. They were betrayed by the people they trusted most and abandoned by the people they relied on most. The trust they gave was like a joke. Look, this fool was sold out and is still counting the money for them.
How funny.
She didn't actually force Hao Zekai to choose Hao Zi's death. She didn't want to destroy Hao Zekai's heart. She wanted to keep his heart and torment him day by day, making him watch as the Crown Prince, whom he had abandoned and betrayed and who was now unlabeled, stepped onto the dragon throne step by step, making him regret his past actions!
