Chapter 187 So, You and Your Mother Deserve to Die
Deng Youning reacted quickly, pulling Jian Zhiyi over and putting the dagger on her neck.
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't held you hostage, I wouldn't have been able to leave alive today."
She whispered an apology to Jian Zhiyi.
Jian Zhiyi didn't say anything, just shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"No, let me go--"
Prime Minister Jian is truly a good father who loves his daughter!
Even though he was in unbearable pain, he still thought about protecting his daughter.
Seeing their deep love between father and daughter, Deng Youning's hatred for Deng Zheng became even stronger.
"You can release her and exchange her for Deng Zheng."
Deng Youning's fierce eyes fell on the veiled Deng Zheng.
"Prime Minister Jian, I promised your daughter that I would not take your life."
"As long as you hand over Deng Zheng now and immediately come with me to the palace to resign and return home, all the wrong things you have done by colluding with the Crown Prince, the Wu family, and Nan Xin will be written off. I will let the Ninth Prince and the Silver Dragon Guards let you go."
"Otherwise, they have other evidence of your crimes in their hands."
"You will be punished for all your crimes. Not to mention your own life, your entire family may go to the guillotine with you!"
Of course Prime Minister Jian knew that Deng Youning's words were not a threat.
Jun Chenyi and Li Tianzhuo, these two troublemakers, have been staring at me.
The fact that she dared to say so proved that they already had solid evidence of her guilt in their hands.
Prime Minister Jian sneered, his smile full of disdain.
Ever since he boarded the prince's ship, he had actually thought about the day when his entire family would suffer along with him.
Therefore, he had already removed his name from the family tree.
If it had been any other day, Deng Youning's words would not have been enough to threaten him.
But today, his daughter is still in her hands!
He himself is not afraid of death, but Yi'er must not get into any danger!
He began to hesitate.
Deng Youning also clearly caught his gaze at this moment.
"Call twice."
She held Jian Zhiyi's ear and said.
Jian Zhiyi was stunned for a second, and then started crying as if possessed by an acting spirit.
While crying, she also shouted:
"Dad, Dad, save me~"
"This Deng Youning is a lunatic. She might really kill her daughter if she's unhappy!"
Her cries made Prime Minister Jian feel heartbroken.
But, if they compromised today and handed Deng Zheng over, Deng Youning and the others would not let his entire family go.
Seeing her father hesitate, Jian Zhiyi pretended to be pitiful again and cried with tears in her eyes:
"Father, I don't know how she managed to disguise herself as my maid. It's all my fault that I failed to watch her and caused such a disaster."
"She killed me today, and it was my daughter who deserved it!"
"Father, you don't have to ignore the Crown Prince's cause for your daughter."
Prime Minister Jian could no longer bear it, and asked several guards to go in and pull Deng Zheng out and send him to Deng Youning.
Although Deng Zheng was poisoned by Deng Youning, the poison was not very strong, so he was able to endure the pain in his body and deal with the two guards of average skills.
"Jian, how dare you be sentenced to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!"
"You have to know that if you hand me over, the plans of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Si Wang might all go to waste!"
Deng Zheng dragged his uncomfortable body out quickly and grabbed Prime Minister Jian's neck.
After all, he is a Duke of the State who knows some martial arts.
What's more, he had been in exile for the past few months and had escaped death many times, which had greatly improved his martial arts skills. It was easy for him to deal with a scholar who was not even capable of tying a chicken.
"If you dare to hand me over, I will strangle you to death first!"
Deng Zheng roared, and his big hand gripped Prime Minister Jian's throat with increasing force.
Prime Minister Jian, who was already feeling uncomfortable due to the poisoning, rolled his eyes because of his pinching.
"Dad, let my dad go--" Jian Zhiyi became restless in Deng Youning's arms and wanted to rush up to save Prime Minister Jian.
One second before Prime Minister Jian was about to die, Deng Youning quickly threw the knife he was using to hold Jian Zhiyi hostage and stabbed Deng Zheng in the back.
Deng Zheng looked at her unwillingly.
Deng Youning took off her veil first and urged Deng Zheng to take off the useless veil as well.
"Deng Youning, you evil girl, I'm going to kill you!"
Deng Zheng stretched out his arms, pretending to strangle Deng Youning, and ran towards him.
Seeing him coming forward, Deng Youning stretched out her legs slightly, but she didn't notice that Deng Zheng was tripped by her and fell down the stairs.
But he was lucky enough not to die yet. He was still hanging on to his breath, spitting out blood foam and glaring at Deng Youning with resentment.
Seeing the deep love between the Jian family's father and daughter just now, Deng Youning felt a bitter feeling in her heart whenever she recalled it.
"Father, the father and daughter of the Jian family are willing to die for each other. What about you? Why have you never considered me as your daughter?"
"I don't know what I did wrong. You and mother have treated me like an enemy since I came home!"
"So, father, you and mother both deserve to die!"
"She's already on her way, go find her too!"
Deng Youning said the first two sentences very sadly.
There seemed to be real tears rolling down his eyes.
But when she said the last two sentences, a playful smile appeared on her lips.
It was like watching a big drama slowly coming to an end.
She did not stab Deng Zheng again to kill him completely, but just let his blood flow until the Silver Dragon Guards came to arrest him.
Judging from the time, Li Tianzhuo should have received the emperor's order and came to the Jian family to confiscate their property!
The half-dead Deng Zheng closed his eyes.
The thing he regretted most in his life was that he didn't strangle this evil girl to death when she was born!
Deng Youning ignored Jian Zhiyi. She ran to her father, hugged him and cried bitterly.
"Dad, I never wanted to marry Jun Wenci, nor did I want to be the mother of a country."
"You have already been appointed as Prime Minister, why are you still so restless?"
"Don't blame Princess Youning. You did all the bad things and harmed all the people in order to help the crown prince win the throne. Even if Princess Youning and Lord Li didn't find out, your daughter must expose you in front of His Majesty for the sake of justice."
"You taught me to be a good person since I was young. I can't watch you make mistakes all the time."
Prime Minister Jian also heard Jian Zhiyi's heartfelt words and kept saying the three words "I'm sorry" with sobs.
Deng Youning walked over and handed Jian Zhiyi a Hundred Poison Remedies pill.
"This is the antidote for the poison just now. Give it to your father."
Jian Zhiyi thanked him and accepted it.
"Prime Minister Jian, tell me everything you know about the Crown Prince and the Si Wang. When we meet the Emperor later, I will tell him that you have turned back from your wrong path and voluntarily handed over Deng Zheng. I will do my best to save your life."
"But all your Jian family's property will be confiscated, and you and your daughter will be just ordinary people from now on."
Prime Minister Jian nodded in agreement.
According to him, what Rashomon did was to use poisonous insects to control ordinary people and make them become the most powerful living dead!
Even more powerful than those assassins of the Wu family.
Never die!
Unless their bodies are blown into pieces and minced meat, they will continue to obey their orders and fight.
In addition to the people in the capital who were deceived by Rashomon, beggars in the streets and alleys of the city were also fed this magic water.
For the first group of people who drank the talisman water, the time when the larvae took shape in their bodies was exactly three days when the prince returned to the city!
