Meanwhile, on the other side.

Since the real murderer who assassinated the prince was caught, the prince, who had been detained in the palace for three days and three nights, was finally able to leave the palace.

Zong Zhengyu couldn't understand why Zong Zhengchen seemed to have found out the truth but didn't mention it in front of the emperor.

Why would Zong Zhengchen let him go?

Could it be that Gong Youxiang took care of it?

Outside the palace.

Due to his injury, he was carried out in a sedan chair. Gong Zhenhong, who had been waiting outside, quickly walked over to him, saluted, and whispered:

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Zong Zhengyu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and lowered his voice:

"What have you done in the past three days?"

At this point, Gong Zhenhong panicked: "I am ashamed. During the three days you were in the palace, I was pestered by the Minister of War."

The Minister of War is the emperor's man, which means the emperor is keeping an eye on him. He did nothing and dared not act rashly.

Zong Zhengyu's brows knitted when he heard this.

He didn't save him?

How could Zong Zhengchen let him go?

How strange!

Prince's Mansion.

The sedan chair landed and the man was helped out by two servants. As soon as his feet touched the ground, a group of people knelt down and the sound of their greetings rose loudly into the sky.

"Father!"

The little princess Zong Zhengshi ran up quickly, hugged her father's arm worriedly, and asked with concern:

"Father, why did you come back just now? I heard from mother that you were injured. Is it serious? Does it hurt? Shi'er, please blow it."

The little girl's voice is soft and tender, and she instantly becomes the man's sweetheart.

The Crown Princess came over and said, "Shi'er, don't grab your father. He is injured."

"Oh..." The little girl let go obediently, and changed her grip to grab the man's clothes with her little hand, which was extremely cute.

The Crown Princess walked up to the man. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. She looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Zong Zhengyu shook his head.

"I'm glad that Your Highness is back." The old butler sighed with relief.

"Your Highness is safe and sound."

"Your Highness, I made a few dishes that you like..."

The servants in the entire Prince's Mansion were all concerned and sympathetic. The little princess clung to her father's clothes tightly. The Crown Princess even prepared a table of delicious food herself. Everyone showed concern and concern.

However, Zong Zhengyu caught a glimpse of an unexpected figure.

Four or five meters away.

A woman in a light pink dress, with her arms around her chest, was leaning lazily against the crimson wall pillar. Her lightly made-up face was extremely beautiful, young and pretty, with a slightly raised curve at the corner of her lips, looking at him proudly.

Concubine Qin?

Everyone was concerned about him, but she was the only one standing quietly by the side, as if nothing had happened.

disregard.

cold.

Don't care.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly became interested, took away Zong Zhengshi's hand, walked around the Crown Princess and walked towards the woman.

He pinched her chin, lifted it up, and looked carefully at this beautiful, flawless face:

"Why are you looking at me like a stranger?"

Qin Hongluan raised her eyes lazily, that nonchalant movement, like a cat basking in the sun, a slight sigh at the corner of her lips instantly captured the man's heart.

She slowly approached his ear and lowered her voice:

"For you, I even killed the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Isn't that enough for me to care about Your Highness?"

Zong Zhengyu was shocked all over, turned his head and looked at the woman in astonishment.

she……

It turned out that she was the one who killed the Shuntian Prefecture Governor!

No wonder Zong Zhengchen let him go, it turned out that she was the one who secretly intervened!

Qin Hongluan raised her fingertips lightly, and removed the big hand that was pinching her chin one by one. She tapped the man's chest with her index finger and drew two circles leisurely.

That unhurried look exudes an invisible charm.

She would not be like other women, obeying him in everything, fawning on him, or being servile and flattering.

He is the lion, and she is the tamer.

Zong Zhengyu only felt the little hands moving gently on his chest, which made him feel itchy and stirred his heart.

Just as she was about to hold his hand, the woman withdrew her hand and smiled leisurely:

"My highness, welcome back home~" She hooked her fingertips on his belt, left a meaningful look, and turned to enter the mansion.

Zong Zhengyu's breath was choked, and instantly, he felt that every blood vessel in his body was boiling and roaring, and he couldn't wait to run after him.

"Your Highness!" The Crown Princess spoke quickly, "Your injuries have not healed yet. I have found a doctor..."

"No need." The man quickly chased after him.

"Your Highness, I cooked your favorite dish... Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The Crown Princess hurriedly chased into the mansion, only to see that the man's soul seemed to have been bewitched by Qin Hongluan. He ignored her completely and focused all his attention on Qin Hongluan.

Instantly, the rage of jealousy surged into my heart, flooding my mind and swallowing up everything.

This bitch!

His Highness had just returned from the palace and was still injured, but she seduced him without caring about him at all. The way she spread her legs with lust, she was no different from a prostitute in a brothel!

Damn bitch!
