Chapter 10: Hold Your Husband Tightly
Beiwang Mansion, Concubine Zhao’s orchid garden.
"Xie Lingxi is a hopeless case, yet he is still stubborn and wants to let that useless person inherit the throne. How biased he is!" Concubine Zhao's face was filled with resentment.
Qiao thought, he is the legitimate son, and your son is the illegitimate son. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, so the old concubine cannot be considered partial.
This is what the legitimate son deserves.
But she also wanted her husband to inherit the throne and to be the mistress of the Northern Palace, so she just nodded in agreement.
"This Jiang Rong is just an orphan from a poor baron's mansion, a young girl who is still wet behind the ears. The old woman wants to hand over the family business of the Northern Prince's Mansion to her? Why? This old woman doesn't know people well!" Concubine Zhao became more and more angry as she spoke, with a gloomy face:
"I will never allow Jiang Rong to take away the palace's assets. Yingying, go and deal with her."
Yingying is Qiao's maiden name.
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. There are people who want to drive Jiang Rong away more than we do. The cousin of the Chen family has always regarded the Crown Prince's wife as a sure thing. She didn't expect that a cousin's wife would suddenly appear out of nowhere. She will not let it go."
"My daughter-in-law only needs to stir up trouble and get Chen Caiwei to get rid of Jiang Rong for us. Then we won't be able to trace it back to us."
Concubine Zhao sneered, "That idiot Chen Caiwei is a good knife... You are right. I was a little anxious..."
…
In Moyanzhai.
"Please spare my life, sir! I have confessed everything I know!"
"I really don't know who I am connected with. We are connected through tokens and incisions."
"I have been on the run from the organization for more than ten years! When the Northern Frontier was defeated and Crown Prince Wen Zhao died in battle, the situation was too big and I was scared, so I fled... I have been unable to contact the organization for a long time and I dare not contact them... I really don't know where they are..."
The man, bleeding profusely, knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse, and he kowtowed as he spoke, his whole body trembling.
The young man in white sitting in the main seat just looked at him expressionlessly.
"Master, after three days of interrogation, it is clear that this spy has indeed defected from the Shadow for more than ten years. He has confessed everything he knows."
shadow.
A spy organization hidden in the northern border.
Nineteen years ago, he betrayed the military intelligence of the North, which directly led to the defeat of the North Frontier. The commander-in-chief, Prince Wen Zhao, was killed in the battle, as was the old prince of the Xie family. The 100,000-strong Xie family army was completely wiped out...
No one survived.
"Sir, I really confessed everything! Please spare my life!" The man kowtowed and begged for mercy.
He must be very tough to be chosen as a spy.
But his mouth was pried open by force, and he felt that the group of people who captured him were more terrifying than ghosts!
"Heh." Xie Lingxi chuckled, but that chuckle was icy cold. "Of course I won't let you die. Do you deserve to die? Jingzhe, let him continue to live in hell."
The man immediately realized that the endless torture was indeed hell on earth, and he begged for mercy:
"Please kill me... please kill me..."
Jingzhe stepped forward and gagged the man and stuffed him back into the box. Two secret guards lifted the box and walked out. Several maids stepped forward and cleaned up the bloodstains...
Xiao Nanxing stood quietly aside and didn't dare to speak.
Whenever the young master finds someone related to Shadow, he becomes very scary.
No one dared to disturb him at this time.
"Master, the Crown Princess requests to see you." Jingzhe came to report.
Xiao Nanxing immediately said, "Don't you see that the ground is covered in blood? Let the Crown Prince's Consort go back first."
"No, let her in now." Xie Lingxi suddenly spoke, his eyes cold and fierce.
…
Jiang Rong was led in by Jingzhe.
Two secret guards came out carrying a box and passed by each other.
Jiang Rong smelled the pungent smell of blood, a smell that even the lid of the box could not cover.
Her gaze couldn't help but pause on the strange big box. What was inside?
As soon as he stepped into the study, Jiang Rong was stunned.
The maid knelt on the ground to clean up the large patches of blood, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood...
Xie Lingxi stood in front of the window sill, looking at her quietly. His cold eyes stared at her, and he knew that when a person is frightened, they will subconsciously reveal their true reaction.
He wanted to see her running away in fear because of him and expose her disguise.
But before he could threaten...
"Xie Lingxi! Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?" Jiang Rong rushed over like a whirlwind, stopped just after bumping into him, and hurriedly tried to strip off his clothes.
"I'm not hurt." Xie Lingxi didn't have the time to act with her at this moment. He grabbed Jiang Rong's hand and stared at her coldly:
"I just killed someone. This blood belongs to someone else."
"Ah?" Jiang Rong widened his eyes.
"This prince is a playboy who does all kinds of evil and kills people for fun..."
Before he could finish his words, the little girl fell steadily into his arms and hugged him tightly, her voice full of relief, "You scared me to death, I thought you were hurt."
Xie Lingxi froze for a moment. I killed someone, did you hear me?
"The one my husband wants to kill must be the one who deserves to die!" The little girl looked up at him from her arms, her bright eyes like the vast stars:
"My husband is a great hero, the one I love the most! He is not a bad person at all."
Xie Lingxi, before I die, I think, in this life, I have never believed in you once, and I have only faced you with swords.
If there is an afterlife, I want to tell you that you are my unrivaled hero, my glory, my pride, and my sweetheart.
