Chapter 298: Not even able to kneel down and apologize
As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble with Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo would be like a frightened bird.
He was really afraid that something might happen to her.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I think the cold is just an excuse for the princess."
"When they left, I saw that the princess didn't look sick."
The driver quickly said something to comfort him.
Li Tianzhuo finally let out a long sigh.
"very good!"
"You are a man with good sense, reward!"
If he is happy, the servants around him will also have a good life.
Xiu Ming gave the driver a silver ingot on his behalf.
The driver was so grateful that he almost knelt down and kowtowed.
It seems that I have to help the prince pay more attention to the princess's affairs in the future.
After Li Tianzhuo and Xiu Ming, master and servant, changed their clothes and went back, all the bodies in the lake were salvaged.
Place them in four piles in total.
There are a lot of imperial guards, and there is no way there can be any problems with these people.
There are so many guards guarding the palace, maybe there are spies planted by the killer master among them.
There were a group of killers, more than thirty of them.
There was also a single corpse, that of the woman who had thrown Li Tianzhuo into the lake.
After being soaked in lake water, the human skin mask on her face was not so integrated with her skin. It looked very strange, and the fake skin was also clearly visible at a glance.
Li Tianzhuo took the tip of the long knife and lifted the mask off her face.
The face under the mask shocked King Yi.
This was none other than the maid in his own house.
This time he really has no way to defend himself and can't explain himself!
Deng Xuelian looked at the corpses. Although she looked calm, she was already terrified in her heart.
This time, I am really going to be killed by Yuan Gu!
She also seemed to have anticipated her own death.
Soon, all the black cloths used by the killers to cover their faces were taken off.
At least three or four of them were the original guards of the Prince's Palace.
Even Li Tianzhuo had some impression of those people, as he had seen them before at Prince Yi's mansion.
"Brother, if you are not deliberately trying to harm me, then these people must have a group of forces behind them!"
Li Tianzhuo stared at him in disappointment.
King Yi was in a complete daze and he didn't know what was going on.
"Boss, even if these assassins have nothing to do with you, you should still be held accountable for your own stupidity and negligence!"
"The mansion has been eaten away by termites and is riddled with holes, but you, the owner of Prince Yi's mansion, have no idea!"
Emperor Nanxin also shook his head at Prince Yi in disappointment.
Fortunately, he took great pains to bring the sixth son back from Dongji, otherwise there would be no suitable successor to the throne.
The king seems to be a fool.
King Yi is even less smart!
"Fortunately, your brother is fine today, otherwise, you would be blamed for it!"
Emperor Nan Xin continued to accuse.
King Yi had empty eyes and a look of distress throughout the whole process.
He was really wronged, he had no intention of harming his sixth brother at all!
My life was saved from the jaws of death by my sixth brother. Besides, he was my most beloved brother since childhood!
It is clearly noon now, and the bright sun makes everything around so clearly visible.
But King Yi felt that his vision was gray.
He could only sit helplessly in a wheelchair, unable even to kneel down and apologize to his sixth brother.
The memories of their childhood gradually replayed in his mind, and the pressure in his chest made it hard for him to breathe.
Just at this moment, several palace maids and nannies sent by the emperor to investigate Deng Xuelian came back.
Two maids were escorting a servant, and a palace maid was carrying a heavy brocade package.
After forcing the servant to kneel in front of several people, King Yi looked at the servant's familiar face and was also shocked.
"Your Majesty, I and others found this servant in the backyard, sneaking around and trying to climb over the wall."
"We found a letter from him, but when we tried to snatch it away, he had eaten the signature on the letter."
A fat maid reported.
The boy was so nervous that he didn't dare to look up at them.
The nanny also presented the incomplete letter they had snatched to the emperor.
The above content is probably today's action plan to deal with Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning.
Emperor Nan Xin suppressed his anger and handed the letter to Li Tianzhuo.
Li Tianzhuo glanced at them with disdain, but after confirming that the person they were going to deal with from the beginning was him, and that they had deliberately planned to separate him and Ningning, he felt inexplicably relieved.
"Your handwriting is beautiful, Miss Deng. I had the honor of seeing your handwriting when I was in Dongji. Don't deny it!"
His eyes darkened, and the coldness in them almost solidified into a substance.
But there was an inexplicable sense of laziness and playfulness in his tone.
It felt like he was just waiting for Deng Xuelian to admit defeat.
King Yi seemed to want to make a final struggle. He asked for the remaining letter. Looking at the familiar handwriting on it, his heart turned cold to freezing point.
"Your Majesty, please don't believe it easily. Maybe someone has deliberately imitated my handwriting to frame me."
Deng Xuelian thought quickly and defended herself.
The boy raised his head slightly and gave her a look of contempt.
So tenacious!
But what she said does make sense.
"What's in that bundle?"
Xiu Ming asked the palace maid holding the bundle curiously.
The palace maid simply poured the contents of the bag onto the ground.
Crackling.
Jewelry, gold, silver, banknotes...
All valuable stuff.
"This bundle was found by a few servants from under the bed of the concubine."
"It's hidden very well!"
The palace maid made additional explanation.
King Yi's heart was also completely dead.
Ever since he broke his leg, countless loyal servants have reminded him that the concubine had become unfaithful and asked him to be careful, but he was always willing to believe Lian'er.
Today, the last thread of love in his heart was completely severed by Deng Xuelian.
Deng Xuelian's heart was dead and her face turned pale.
"Lian'er, explain to me, what are you saving these gold and silver for?"
"Running away? Don't you really want to stay with me?"
"I am not an unreasonable person. If you are really tired of me, you can just let me know. At worst, we can just divorce."
"Why did you run away by yourself? The last time you met someone from the Yuan family, you ran away by yourself, right?"
In fact, King Yi has always known everything.
Having lived in the deep palace full of intrigues since childhood, how could he not see the little tricks Deng Xuelian was doing under his nose?
But he loved Deng Xuelian so much that he covered his eyes and ears.
"My Lord, I...I..."
Deng Xuelian wanted to explain herself but was interrupted by Li Tianzhuo.
"Miss Deng deserves death!"
"A few months ago, you wrote and staged a drama in which you pushed the six-year-old Prince Yi into the lake and drowned him. I wonder if Miss Deng ever dreamed of that child coming to claim your life in her dreams?"
Li Tianzhuo deliberately scared her.
"Of course not!"
Deng Xuelian was strong and calm. After all, she had killed someone with her own hands, and she had actually been scared for a long time.
"That's right, because Shen'er is not dead yet!"
Li Tianzhuo kept the secret for a while before telling the whole story of Li Shen.
