Rong Baichuan looked at his feet and seemed to have used too much force.
Judging from the amount of blood he vomited, he wouldn't die from excessive blood loss before he even drowned in the pond, right?
Rong Baichuan fumbled in the cuffs of his sleeves for a long time and finally found a bottle of medicine that he didn't know if it could cure internal injuries. He walked up to Zhao Ziheng and fed him the medicine as if no one was around.
King Jing, who was already furious, saw this scene and immediately saw smoke coming out of his head, "Rong Baichuan, get out of here!"
The voice was hoarse and sharp, showing extreme anger.
The blood rushed up and King Jing's face turned red.
Fearing that something bad might happen to him, Rong Baichuan had no choice but to withdraw.
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Don't make yourself angry."
The noise in the backyard alarmed the princess. When Rong Baichuan was leaving, he saw her leading people to the backyard.
When I returned to my doorstep, the noise from Prince Jing's Mansion had already reached the main gate.
There was a group of people rushing towards Prince Jing's Mansion at the corner. They were in a hurry and ran as fast as they could.
I think it was Minister Zhao who got the news and rushed to Prince Jing's mansion to rescue people.
It is the time to digest food after a meal, and most people are enjoying the cool air in the front yard.
Hearing the noise outside, the doors of the mansions near Prince Jing's Mansion were wide open. The owner was not in a position to go out and investigate, so he asked the servant to find out what was going on.
Qin Nanjing also brought the children out and saw Rong Baichuan looking in the direction of Prince Jing's Mansion.
"What happened over there? Why are so many people heading in that direction?"
Rong Baichuan took Rong Chaoxi and whispered to Qin Nanjing, "Prince Jing... was cheated on."
"ah?"
【Huh? I got cheated on again?】
…
Inside the gate of Prince Jing’s Mansion.
Zhao Zhang protected Zhao Ziheng behind him and retreated out of the mansion.
"Prince Jing, my son is not to blame for this. It was you...that woman who seduced him, causing him to act so foolishly. Please be magnanimous and forgive him this time. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I return!"
As soon as Zhao Zhang arrived at the palace, he saw his son being tied up and dragged away. He didn't care that the person in front of him was a royal relative and the emperor's younger brother.
He immediately rushed over and grabbed his son.
The guards they brought with them were left behind. They were now surrounded by the guards of the palace and could only move slowly backwards.
This matter is so embarrassing that Prince Jing probably doesn't want outsiders to know about it.
Once they get outside the mansion, they will have a chance to escape.
Tomorrow I will go to the emperor and apologize, begging for his life.
Zhao Zhang knew what kind of person his son was and had advised him not to get involved with married women.
But he did not change his bad habits and this time he actually provoked Prince Jing.
He felt that his father had worn the official hat for too long.
Or maybe his neck is itchy and needs to be taken apart and checked!!
But now that things have come to this, we can only put all the blame on that woman.
At least we can get through tonight and save our lives first.
"Zhao Zhang, I don't even know what kind of person your son is!" King Jing drew his sword and pointed it at Zhao Zhang. "Hand him over, and I'll spare your life!"
"If you insist on defending me, don't blame me for being rude..."
In mid-August, after dealing with Cui Liu, he couldn't sleep all night.
I couldn't understand why they would betray me when I had been so good to them, providing them with good food and drink.
She actually keeps a man outside.
When he encountered this incident again today, he was so angry that he didn't care about his own face and was determined to kill this couple.
Otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the hatred in my heart!
"Yes... yes... she seduced me, I didn't want to do it at first..."
She's just a concubine. If someone likes her, it's common to give her away.
Unexpectedly, King Jing would not let him go even after the incident became known to everyone.
Seeing that they had arrived at the gate of the palace and there were already onlookers outside, but King Jing was still pressing forward and showing no sign of backing down, Zhao Ziheng was completely panicked.
King Jing would kill him even if it meant losing face!
"Your Majesty, there's something...something secret in the inner chamber. There's no need to do this..."
"If...if you like someone like Lin Zhu, I can help you...find you ten or eight, and I guarantee they're innocent..."
"Shut up!" King Jing gasped for breath, his eyes red with anger. "No matter who started it, you must die today!"
The concubine's mouth was blocked, she whimpered and shook her head desperately.
She did not seduce. It was Zhao Ziheng who forced her first. Later, when he learned that Cui Liu's child was not the prince's, and saw that she was so favored because she gave birth to a son, she acted like that. She was just blinded by power.
"Prince, Jinghong... calm down, this will hurt you..." The princess approached worriedly, trying to persuade him to put down the sword.
"Let's go find the Emperor and ask him to handle it..."
This matter is indeed shameful, and we cannot continue to make trouble for it even for the sake of the royal family's reputation.
But King Jing completely lost his mind and raised his hand to wave away the princess's hand, and the blade accidentally grazed her forearm.
Suddenly, blood gushed out, and the wide sleeves of the goose yellow brocade robe were instantly dyed red with blood.
"Princess..." The maids screamed and rushed forward to support Princess Jing.
The smell of blood entered King Jing's nose, and he regained some of his sanity.
"Take the princess to stop the bleeding!"
But the anger in his heart could not be eliminated, and he still stubbornly pointed his sword at Zhao Ziheng.
"Since you don't want to go to the Shentang, then die by my sword now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Jing rushed forward.
Zhao Zhang stood guard over Zhao Ziheng.
The crowd that had gathered around exclaimed in surprise.
The sword dripping with blood was about to pierce Zhao Zhang's throat.
Suddenly——
A stone brushed past the ear of the onlookers and flew straight towards the sword.
With a "clang" sound, the tip of the sword shifted and hit Zhao Zhang's neck, cutting off half of Zhao Ziheng's ear behind him.
"ah……"
Zhao Ziheng immediately covered his bleeding ear and fell down.
"My ears... my ears..."
Blood gushed out, staining the entire right shoulder red.
A fishy smell came, and Zhao Ziheng actually became incontinent.
Suddenly, the crowd moved aside.
But King Jing still didn't understand the anger and prepared to strike with his sword again.
"Wait..." Rong Baichuan shouted.
If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner.
Although the circumstances were excusable, King Jing would certainly receive corresponding punishment for beheading an imperial official in public.
Zhao Zhang dared to block the sword because he was betting that King Jing would not dare to do so. But he actually dared to do so.
At this time, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he didn't even have the strength to check his son's injuries.
His neck was grazed by the sword and blood was oozing out.
If it weren't for the stone shot by Rong Baichuan, he would have been killed on the spot.
He looked at Rong Baichuan with gratitude as he squeezed into the encirclement.
Rong Baichuan's eyes were on King Jing, and he didn't notice Zhao Zhang's expression at all.
If he saw it, he would definitely say,
"It's too early to be grateful."
"Your true tribulation has now arrived!"
Rong Baichuan held Rong Chaoxi in one hand and pressed down the sword raised by King Jing with the other.
His face was serious. "Han Jinghong, you represent the royal family."
"You are shameless, but the Emperor still wants... to follow me into the palace!"
