Chapter 48 Ling Zixia borrows a knife to eliminate the Li family

The atmosphere in Siguozhai was extremely depressing.

Zhao Wenxuan's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

He stared at the white porcelain plate containing the spoiled blood.

As if to see through it.

The truth is too cruel.

It was difficult for him to accept it for a while.

One's own mother.

She turned out to be such a vicious and cruel woman.

She not only plotted against the concubines in the mansion.

He even took his own son into account.

An indescribable anger and disappointment surged in his chest.

Liu Yunyao was chained to a wooden stake.

At this time, he finally recovered from the huge shock.

She stared at Zhao Wenxuan blankly.

He looked at Ling Zixia again.

His eyes were filled with despair and regret.

She finally understood.

From the beginning to the end, I was just a discarded pawn in the lady's hands.

Her so-called vying for favor, her so-called calculations.

In the face of the mistress's true conspiracy.

It seems so ridiculous and childish.

Ling Zixia stood quietly aside.

She took in everyone's reactions.

She knows.

My goal for today has been achieved.

She not only successfully cleared Liu Yunyao of the charge of being a "spy".

All the blame was directed at the real mastermind behind the incident - Li Ruolan.

She didn't say another word.

She just stepped aside silently.

She left the stage entirely to Zhao Wenxuan.

She knows.

Next, what to do with Li Ruolan.

This will be a difficult problem that Zhao Wenxuan must face.

Zhao Wenxuan was silent for a long time.

He finally raised his head slowly.

He glanced at the miserable Liu Yunyao.

He looked again at Ling Zixia, who was standing in the corner, weak and helpless.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He said to Zhang Mo, the leader of the guards beside him.

An order was issued that took everyone by surprise.

"go."

"Please ask Madam... to come here."

Zhang Mo's body shook violently.

He looked at Zhao Wenxuan in disbelief.

"Sir...you mean...please invite the Prime Minister's wife?"

Invite the mistress to this filthy place where prisoners are interrogated.

This is in the strict hierarchy of the prime minister's residence.

It is an unprecedented crime of disrespect.

Zhao Wenxuan's eyes did not waver at all.

"Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"

His voice was icy cold.

Without a trace of emotion.

Zhang Mo's heart trembled.

He knew that the young master was really angry this time.

He didn't dare hesitate any longer.

He immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"Yes, I obey your command."

After he finished speaking, he left quickly with a few guards.

The Siguozhai fell into deathly silence again.

A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Liu Yunyao's eyes.

She knew that Li Ruolan's retribution was finally coming.

And in Ling Zixia's eyes, there was an unfathomable calmness.

She knows.

This is just the beginning.

Taking down Li Ruolan is only the first step in her revenge plan.

About an incense stick of time passed.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps at the gate of Siguozhai.

Immediately following.

Li Ruolan's angry voice came in.

"Zhao Wenxuan! You're so brave!"

"How dare you send someone to cause trouble in my yard!"

"Do you still see me as your mother?"

The words fell.

Li Ruolan was surrounded by a group of maids and old women.

He rushed in angrily.

When she saw the scene inside the courtyard clearly.

Her expression changed instantly.

She saw corpses all over the ground.

I saw Liu Yunyao chained to a wooden stake.

I also saw Ling Zixia standing aside with a pale face.

at last.

Her gaze fell on her son's gloomy face.

An ominous premonition rose in her heart.

"Wenxuan...you...what are you doing?"

Her voice unconsciously weakened a little.

Zhao Wenxuan didn't answer her.

He just slowly raised the white porcelain plate in his hand.

He handed the plate to Li Ruolan.

"Mother, won't you explain?"

Li Ruolan looked at the drop of blood in the plate that had turned black and purple.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"What's there to explain? Isn't this just a drop of blood?"

Zhao Wenxuan sneered.

"A drop of blood?"

"Mother, you are really good at this."

"Using the 'Qianji' poison to control the concubines in the mansion, and then using Concubine De's secret signals to frame them."

"Kill two birds with one stone, kill with a borrowed knife."

"Even my own son has become a pawn in your hands."

"Your position as the Prime Minister's wife is truly secure."

Every word he said.

It was like a heavy hammer.

It hit Li Ruolan's heart hard.

Li Ruolan's face turned pale in an instant.

She subconsciously took a step back.

She looked at Zhao Wenxuan in horror.

"You...what are you talking about! I don't understand!"

She is still making her final struggle.

However, Zhao Wenxuan was no longer prepared to give her any more chances.

He threw the blood disc in his hand heavily to the ground.

The crisp sound of shattering was like the death knell of Li Ruolan's fate.

"At this point, are you still trying to make excuses?"

Zhao Wenxuan's voice was like a cold wind from the underworld.

"Someone come!"

He shouted sharply.

"Capture Li for me!"

The guards behind him were stunned when they heard this.

Let them arrest the Prime Minister's wife.

This... this is simply a fantasy.

However, Zhao Wenxuan's eyes left no room for doubt.

"What? You dare not listen to me?"

The guards were startled.

They knew that if they didn't take action today.

The next person to die here may be themselves.

Several guards gritted their teeth.

They took a step forward.

One held Li Ruolan's arms on the left and one on the right.

Li Ruolan completely collapsed.

She struggled frantically.

Screamed hissingly.

"Rebellion! Rebellion! You all rebelled!"

"Zhao Wenxuan, you unfilial son! I am your biological mother!"

"How dare you do this to me for two bitches!"

Zhao Wenxuan turned a deaf ear to her cries.

He just looked at her coldly.

Said word by word.

"From the moment you plotted against me."

"You are no longer my mother."

He turned around.

He gave orders to Zhang Mo.

"Take her away."

"Depose the mistress's position and send her to the Repentance Hall."

"No one is allowed to visit without my order."

This command.

It was tantamount to sentencing Li Ruolan to death.

In a place like the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There is no difference between a deposed mistress and a concubine who is banished to the cold palace.

What awaits her will be endless loneliness and desolation.

Li Ruolan was forcibly dragged away by the guards.

Her resentful curses gradually faded away.

Until you can no longer hear it.

Peace returned to the Siguozhai again.

Zhao Wenxuan looked at the mess on the ground.

A trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

He knows.

What happened today will definitely cause a stir in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

But he had no choice.

He could no longer tolerate such a vicious woman staying by his side.

He turned his head.

He looked at the woman who had been standing quietly in the corner from beginning to end.

Ling Zixia.

It was she who uncovered the truth of all this.

It was also she who made him see his mother's true face.

An extremely complicated emotion arose in his heart.

There was gratitude, fear, and a hint of dependence that he himself had not even noticed.

He walked up to Ling Zixia.

He looked into her clear and innocent eyes.

Speak slowly.

"Today, thanks to you."

There was a sincerity in his voice that he had never heard before.

Ling Zixia raised her head.

She looked at Zhao Wenxuan.

There was still that timid and submissive look in his eyes.

"I...don't deserve it."

"I just... don't want to see you being deceived by a treacherous person."

Her words were just right.

It has expressed one's position.

And he is not proud of his achievements.

Zhao Wenxuan looked at her.

The last bit of defense in my heart also quietly collapsed.

He stretched out his hand.

He gently held her cold hand.

"From now on."

"In this prime minister's residence."

"I'll protect you."
