Chapter 515 Cruelty

He pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and saw the location clearly. Song Shiwei was shocked.

This, isn't this the place where she and Du Wen lived?

How did Xiao Yanli know?

Did he find out by himself, or did he get in touch with Jiang Zhaorong again?

When she thought of this possibility, Song Shiwei felt that the wounds all over her body began to ache again.

Jiang Zhaorong treated her like this, could Xiao Yanli still ignore her and continue to cooperate with Jiang Zhaorong?

She was confused and could not hide it as well as she did at the beginning.

Xiao Yanli also noticed her dissatisfaction, grabbed her shoulders, and whispered to persuade her: "Xiao Lingyu is a kind person and will not torture you. After you tell him, he will definitely send someone to check. I have left traces, and Xiao Lingyu will definitely believe it."

"Once others enter the mountain, the matter will be set in stone."

According to the original plan with Ji Tong, she should pretend to be reluctant and pretend to agree.

But Song Shiwei looked at Xiao Yanli with a bright smile on his face, and suddenly she didn't want to fulfill his wish.

Her tone was cold: "What about me? According to your highness's plan, there is a connection with the previous dynasty. The emperor will definitely depose the prince, but I am still a princess of the previous dynasty."

"Will His Majesty care about the treasures of the previous dynasty, or will he just treat me as a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

Xiao Yanli was speechless for a moment.

No one could predict what the emperor would do.

If the emperor really wanted to execute Song Shiwei, he would probably not say no.

"You are my concubine," Xiao Yanli approached slowly, and the affection in his eyes made Song Shiwei's heart beat faster: "Father punished the prince for this matter because he had his eyes on the treasure, how could he be angry with you?"

"If you don't want to be dismissed," Xiao Yanli tore up the note: "I'm thinking of a way, but now there is no one in the imperial city, and it's okay to just raise an army. It's just a name calling, it won't be a problem."

His expression seemed to be unconcerned: "It's time to eat, what do you want to eat?"

Song Shiwei shook his head, Xiao Yanli called the waiter in, and said a few words, all of which were Song Shiwei's favorite food.

Song Shiwei's expression became more complicated.

The food was served quickly, and the two were silent.

The meal passed without any taste. When Xiao Yanli stood up to leave, Song Shiwei whispered, "I'll go."

...

The streets were crowded with people. In an alley one street away from the East Palace, Song Shiwei, wearing a hood, got off the carriage.

Xiao Yanli lifted the curtain: "Be careful. If you see something wrong, blow the whistle I gave you immediately."

Song Shiwei curled her hands slightly and nodded.

She walked towards the East Palace. Xiao Yanli's eyes followed her back. When he saw her enter the East Palace smoothly, Xiao Yanli lowered the curtain and ordered, "Let's go."

...

In the East Palace, Xiao Lingyu was looking at Ji You who was brought back by his subordinates.

The clever attendant standing next to Xiao Lingyu noticed that Xiao Lingyu looked amiss, so he signaled to the attendant standing at the door to bring some cold tea.

But the attendant at the door obviously didn't understand, and blinked and mouthed: "Ah? What's wrong?"

The clever attendant took a deep breath.

Xiao Lingyu was unaware of the movement beside him, and only stared at Ji You.

Ji You looked a little embarrassed, avoiding his gaze: "Your Highness, we have known each other for a while, and I don't intend to hide it from you. I came back this time, I really had no choice."

Seeing Xiao Lingyu's face suddenly turned cold, he added: "But I really plan to come back, but I have to take care of my family affairs first."

His voice became cold when he said the last sentence.

Xiao Lingyu also knew something about the situation in Ji You's family.

Ji's parents were old when they had a son. They loved Ji You very much. They wanted him to bring honor to the family, but they didn't want him to stay in Shengjing, a cannibalistic place.

It would be best if he could pass the imperial examination and return to his hometown to be a county magistrate.

Unfortunately, although Ji You was talented, his luck was not very good. Every year during the imperial examination, there would always be some minor or major problems. Either the old house would catch fire, or his old father would get sick.

In the end, he had to miss the exam.

If he hadn't been appreciated by the queen by chance, Ji You would probably still be wielding a hoe in the fields of his hometown.

Family affairs, I'm afraid, are related to his parents.

Just as Xiao Lingyu thought, Ji You's eyes showed sadness when he mentioned this: "I hadn't seen them for half a year, so I took this opportunity to go back and take a look, but when I opened the door, I saw them lying in a pool of blood..."

Ji You choked up and couldn't say those two words. Xiao

Lingyu frowned.

"At that time, there were other people rummaging the house. I held them down. They said that it was done by nearby bandits."

Ji You smiled bitterly: "I sent many guards to guard, and none of the guards died, but the people they were guarding died. If they were really bandits, would this happen?" "

But the strange thing is that those guards are nowhere to be found."

Was this premeditated?

Xiao Lingyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ji You raised his eyelids, his eyes were red: "But those guards are all your subordinates, the prince!"

Xiao Lingyu: "!!!"

He looked at Ji You in shock.

Ji You clenched his fists, his expression crazy: "In this case, it can't be said that I was helpless. I agreed to him so that I could ask him as soon as possible, Your Highness, why did you do this?!"

"I didn't!" Xiao Lingyu retorted without hesitation.

"Who you sent at the beginning, I never asked."

"Your Highness won't, but what about the Queen?!" Ji You roared excitedly: "Although the Queen passed away, her remnants are still there. How many people did the Queen plant in the East Palace before? Do you know?"

"Those people are loyal to the Queen, so they will naturally be loyal to Your Highness!"

Xiao Lingyu opened his mouth, but was powerless to refute.

If they were the Queen's men, it is possible that they would do such a thing in order to silence Ji You after he left.

His reaction was seen as acquiescence by others.

The servants around him wanted to stick their heads into the ground, and their bodies were shaking like sieves. Someone accidentally bumped into the accessories on the wall, making a slight "ding" sound.

It was a very small sound, but in the house where you could hear a pin drop, it was as deafening as thunder.

Not to mention that he immediately knelt down and apologized loudly.

Xiao Lingyu pinched the root of his nose, and his mind was complicated for a while: "Get out!"

Everyone dispersed immediately, and the clever servant was about to step forward with a fan, but his arm was held and forcibly taken out.

The door of the house was also closed by them.

The servant looked at the door, stunned.

"Your name may be Mutou, but you can't really be Mutou!"

One of the men who carried him away was very disappointed: "His Highness is so angry that his face has turned blue, and you still dare to move forward with a fan, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"That's right, don't think that His Highness is always kind and amiable, you don't know that His Highness once lost his temper and beat more than ten people to death with a stick!"

"He is much more brutal than He Yanting who didn't cure his leg before!"
