Chapter 69: Human life is worthless in his hands
Yu Shengsheng didn't want to go over there.
But she didn't know Kong Dezhao very well, and both times they met, he appeared first with an arrow.
This man was violent and erratic, with unstable moods. She had just stood up for her, and if she offended him, there was no telling what he would do.
What's more, Qi Mubai is still in front of him.
This matter should not be made a big deal.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Yu Shengsheng lowered his head and walked over, stopping one meter away from the two men and bowing.
Just as she was about to speak, Kong Dezhao's laughter came from above her head.
"Don't be polite all the time. Be more unrestrained around me. There are no so many rules."
"Come closer."
Yu Shengsheng had no choice but to take two more steps forward.
Kong Dezhao was tall, with long legs and arms. He grabbed the back of her neck with his arms.
Gently lift it forward - like holding a soft white rabbit.
Yu Shengsheng got goosebumps all over her body and was forced to look up at him.
Their eyes met, and Kong Dezhao's slightly amber pupils reflected her stunning beauty, panic, and forced calmness.
Kong Dezhao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, his throat rolled twice, and he gently let go of his hand.
"Prince Kong," Princess Duanyang was furious, "How could you treat her like this? Her status is really low, and her parents were killed by her. Don't you know that? She even went to Zhenqiao Tower. What is that place? Maybe she..."
She had been toyed with by others and lost her virginity.
"Princess, please be careful with your words!" Su Yanshu interrupted.
He was secretly happy. No matter what happened in the future, Kong Dezhao liked Shengsheng very much at the moment, and that was a good thing.
How could Princess Duanyang possibly expose someone's shortcomings and ruin good things?
What was faster than his voice was Kong Dezhao's crossbow arrow.
He didn't even look at Princess Duanyang as a crossbow arrow hit the hem of her skirt, leaving her unable to move.
The other one brushed across her cheek, leaving a trace of blood and a strand of hair falling off.
Princess Duanyang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed.
"ah……"
“Swish!”
Another sound of an arrow piercing the throat was heard. The old woman who was about to hit Yu Shengsheng was hit in the throat by an arrow. The tip of the arrow came out from the back of her neck, and blood with a strong fishy smell quickly spread out.
"Plop", the corpse fell down.
Princess Duanyang swallowed the second half of her cry, her eyes widened in fear, not daring to breathe.
The maid beside her screamed: "You...how could you..."
“Swish!”
"thump."
The maid fell to the ground, and the things in her hands fell to the ground.
Princess Duanyang screamed halfway, and saw that the maid's eyes were still open. A large amount of blood came out of her throat and was flowing towards her skirt. She was so scared that she wanted to dodge, but the hem of her skirt was still pierced by the arrow and she could not move.
She nearly collapsed.
This scene happened so quickly, beyond everyone's expectations.
Yu Shengsheng had never expected this. Her heart was pounding in her chest and cold sweat was silently rolling down her back.
She had seen the prince's perversion, Su Dingqin's temper, and Su Yanshu's viciousness, but she had never seen anyone like Kong Dezhao, who would kill people in public with just a raise of his hand and take their lives in the blink of an eye.
To him, human life is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Yu Shengsheng felt a chill all over her body, and for the first time she truly felt the terror of the superior.
The Crown Prince and the Su brothers were at least a little cautious and had to pretend on the surface, but Kong Dezhao was not like that.
He has no scruples and is not afraid of anything.
Yu Shengsheng couldn't help but feel worried. Could she really defeat Kong Dezhao?
Even with Hao Mengye's help.
Hao Mengye helped her with conditions and after weighing the pros and cons, he was not reckless.
If Kong Dezhao was so crazy, Hao Mengye would also stand idly by.
Yu Shengsheng clenched her hands so tightly that her fingertips turned pale blue.
Kong Dezhao laughed out of his throat and patted her head: "Don't be afraid, this prince will protect you."
Kong Dezhao didn't even look at the two corpses, his eyes fell on Princess Duanyang's pale face.
"If I hear any more of what you said just now, I don't mind hitting you in the throat."
"Do you remember?"
Princess Duanyang looked pale and terrified.
"Speak!" Kong Dezhao shouted.
Princess Duanyang shuddered with fear: "Remember... remember..."
Before she could finish her words, she fell down limply, fainting from fright.
Kong Dezhao sneered: "It's really useless."
Outside the Moon Gate.
The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, as if smiling.
"Kong Dezhao is the same as he was in Namshun. He hasn't changed at all."
The prince whispered, "Father, shall I ask him to come over to greet you?"
When he was called over for the ceremony, Kong Dezhao would inevitably bring up the matter of the arranged marriage.
This matter is settled.
Kong Dezhao claimed to be sick these past two days, saying that his legs were inconvenient, and he had not entered the palace to see the emperor. But now he can come here and stand up for Yu Shengsheng.
The emperor's face was full of emotion and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Before he could reply, he heard footsteps behind him and was stopped by the Red Dragon Guards.
"Who is it? Stop!"
"Your Highness, I, Zhao Tianliang, the chief envoy of the Yintianjian, request to see the emperor."
The emperor heard it clearly: "Let him come over."
Zhao Tianliang walked quickly to the emperor and bowed: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
"Zhao Qing, are you here to listen to Zen today as well?"
"Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and knew that today is a good day, so I came here specially to light the eternal lamp for my deceased mother."
He paused, lowered his voice and said, "But I just observed the sky and saw a dark red murderous aura coming from the southwest. A good life has been disrupted. I learned that the emperor is here, so I came to report. Please take good care of your health recently."
The emperor frowned slightly.
Southwest, isn’t that the direction of Nanshun? Coincidentally, the area behind the mountain is also considered southwest with respect to the temple hall.
Dark red murderous aura, is there any need to explain this? Kong Dezhao just killed two people.
The smell of blood hasn't dissipated yet.
The prince was a little anxious, and whispered: "Lord Zhao, there is no need to exaggerate. Father is in good health. How could he be attacked by a little murderous intent?"
Zhao Tianliang bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, I dare not speak nonsense. I am in charge of the Imperial Observatory under the grace of the Emperor, and I dare not fail to report it. This is a sign from heaven, not something I have said."
Zhao Tianliang paused, took a step forward, and lowered his voice even more.
"Your Majesty, I have already calculated the horoscope you asked me to calculate before."
"The two of them are too stubborn. If they are forced to get together, I'm afraid there will be disasters. Disasters of bloodshed are the least of it. I'm afraid... it will affect the royal family and the royal fortune."
The prince was shocked. When had the emperor asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate his horoscope? Was it Kong Dezhao and Yu Shengsheng? Why had he never heard of this before?
The emperor exhaled slowly, his eyes deep and gloomy.
“Father…”
"Return to the palace."
The prince frowned and hurried to catch up, then turned back to look at Zhao Tianliang after a few steps.
Zhao Tianliang lowered his head, clasped his hands, and did not look up at him.
Zhao Tianliang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps fade away.
He didn't want to say that, but Commander Hao helped him restore the only portrait of his deceased mother. He had to repay such a favor.
No matter who you owe, you cannot owe the Red Dragon Guards.
Besides, Kong Dezhao was too unscrupulous in killing people in the temple. Even if he didn't say anything, the emperor would not be happy.
It's just going with the flow.
