Late at night, Huo Renli was tortured by Liu Jian, and his fingers were swollen like carrots.
Just as he opened his mouth and wailed, Liu Jian took a thorny object and stabbed it into his throat. Blood gushed out at once, and Huo Renli couldn't even howl. The pain he was in can be imagined.
Liu Jian said cheerfully, "Don't think I don't know you're the one Princess Ding is looking for. The Fourth Prince wants to protect you, so I can't expose you. It doesn't matter. Aren't your waist and buttocks injured? I won't touch you there."
"But they didn't touch your hands during the execution, did they? And your throat, how come it's so weak from shouting that it rotted so quickly?"
A huge hatred came over him, and Huo Renli vaguely remembered the time when he tortured Concubine Shu. At that time, Concubine Shu was also living a life worse than death.
But he has never believed in retribution. If he has to believe in it, he believes that he is not strong enough or cruel enough, which gives others the opportunity to torture him like this.
Just wait, he won't die, he will definitely survive, and he will make Liu Jian live a life worse than death.
In a trance, he seemed to see the Fourth Prince outside the window.
How could he watch Liu Jian torture himself?
No, it won't be him.
But he still screamed out: "Fourth Prince."
Liu Jian was startled and quickly turned around to look. There was no one outside. Where was the Fourth Prince?
He turned around suddenly, grabbed Huo Renli's hair tightly and said, "Are you trying to scare me?"
"I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin!"
Then he slammed Huo Renli's head hard against the bed frame. When Huo Renli was dying and looked like a dead dog, he made a gloomy sound and walked out.
Looking at the extinguished lights in the Fourth Prince's bedroom, Liu Jian decided to take a risk and find a backer for himself first.
If the Fourth Prince really wants to protect Huo Renli, he must move to another place as soon as possible.
Now, Songyue Palace where Princess Ding lives is still managed by Eunuch Deng, but he is only in charge of it. If possible, it would be a relaxing place to go there.
When the time comes, I will find an opportunity to make a contribution and ask Princess Ding to recommend him to the Eastern Palace. That will be his future path to success.
Thinking of this, Liu Jian walked faster.
But what he didn't expect was that he would fail.
Princess Ding was still in the Queen's palace. At this moment, Liu Jian felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.
The Queen is pestering Princess Ding like this. I'm afraid she already knows the Emperor's intentions and is on guard against Princess Ding.
He approached Princess Ding privately and was opposing the Queen. How could he have a good ending?
Liu Jian returned dejected, only to see the Fourth Prince standing at the palace gate, looking at him coldly.
Liu Jian suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Your Highness, listen to me?"
The Fourth Prince punched Liu Jian, holding his head tightly and slamming it against the wall with a "bang bang bang". Then, when Liu Jian was dizzy and almost fainted, he punched him in the eye again.
With a wailing cry from Liu Jian, he instantly regained consciousness.
The Fourth Prince said angrily, "I heard that you beat him like this. Tomorrow I will ask Doctor Wang to continue to see him. If his injuries worsen again, you'd better watch out for your life!"
Liu Jian slid to his knees on the ground, terrified and frightened. No one had told him that the Fourth Prince would be so cruel?
"I know, I won't dare to do it again."
"Hmph! Remember what you said!"
"roll!"
Liu Jian ran away in a panic.
The Fourth Prince looked towards Fengyi Palace with a particularly resentful look in his eyes.
After waiting for a whole night, the imperial aunt still didn't return to Songyue Palace. He didn't even have the chance to see her. How could he carry out his plan?
The Queen usually seems to be decisive and swift, and no one can stop her from showing her power.
Why does he act like a little spoiled brat when he meets the Queen's aunt, and needs someone to accompany him so late at night?
He was in a bad mood and could only take it out on Liu Jian, that vicious bastard.
Huo Renli cannot die for the time being. He still has to find a way to send his entire family to the west and find out the cause of his mother's death.
Suddenly, the Fourth Prince seemed to remember something, his eyes flashed, but then became darker.
…
Late at night, the queen hummed in Lin Yue's arms and finally fell asleep.
But her head was pressed on the small mirror, which made Lin Yue's chest hurt. But it was not easy to reach out and touch it, otherwise it would be like touching the queen's chest on top of her head, what a shame.
So she said to the small mirror: "Can you be gentler and stop pressing on my chest."
On the other side of the mirror, Xiao Jingyun's face showed a suspicious blush, his eyes flickered as he said, "I have tried to be very gentle, why don't you push the queen away."
It makes him look like a peeping third party, what a mess!
He is obviously the principal wife!!!
Lin Yue: "Do you want to repeat what you said? She is the queen, and you want me to push her away?"
"Do you really think I'm holding the queen?"
Xiao Jingyun: "What else?"
Lin Yue: "Tsk, I can tell you're ignorant. What I'm holding onto is the backing, the financial support, the power."
Xiao Jingyun: [……] So if he is powerful enough, she won’t think of leaving?
"So you can't redeem these with the merits you've accumulated? I thought you were omnipotent."
Lin Yue: "Stop it, stop being so sarcastic, like a jealous little wife."
"I can accumulate merit, but I also have to give back to the system, occasionally upgrading it or something. I can't just use it without nurturing it. If I do that, what's the difference between me and a heartless person?"
"Can't you enter dreams? By the way, help me see if Xiao Jingyun has any women like Bai Yueguang. I don't want to stab him when he comes back."
The corner of Xiao Jingyun's mouth twitched, and he quickly said, "No, don't worry."
