Chapter 193: Life and Death of Prince Zhou
Xie Yanyan still had a calm expression on his face, but he was feeling irritated.
Chu Xiwang paused for a moment and said to Xie Yanyan, "Once I have settled down, are you willing to go to Song State with General Xie?"
He was very sincere and Xie Yanyan was deeply touched.
What he meant was to settle down and ask them to come over, which was purely to take care of them, not to see Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning working for him.
"No, Brother Chu, I will try Lingnan first. If I can't stay here any longer, I will bring my whole family to seek refuge with you, Brother."
"good."
After the three of them finished their conversation, Xie Yanyan went to Keyue Inn.
Zhou Tu had already decorated the place with brilliant lights, and there were several tables placed around the hall, filled with all kinds of meats, dishes, fine wines, and fruits.
The music of stringed instruments is pleasant to the ears, the dancers are performing, and the scene is filled with singing and dancing.
When the King of Nanhai saw Xie Yanyan coming in, he immediately greeted them, "Miss Xie, Master Xu, please take a seat."
At this time, one of his personal guards hurried up to him with a pigeon in his hand.
Xie Yanyan probably knew what was going on, so he sat down calmly.
Sure enough, the King of the South China Sea failed in a second, the smile disappeared from his face, and he fiercely crushed the note in his hand into pieces.
He didn't show much abnormality, picked up the bowl, and greeted everyone: "Drink big bowls of wine, eat big mouthfuls of meat, thanks to Miss Xie's help, today our Nanhai Palace also has a big salt mine, and we are no longer worried about being short of money."
"Serve Miss Xie some wine." Xu Pang clapped his hands, and a group of girls filed in, pouring wine for Xie Yanyan and serving her food.
The King of Nanhai said sincerely: "There are many things going on in the palace, and I cannot stay here for long. If we are discovered, it will cause trouble."
He was going back after dinner, leaving Mr. Pang to take some people to send Xie Yanyan to Boluo County.
"Miss Xie, if your father is willing, I am willing to treat you as a brother. General Xie and his family can all come to my fiefdom, and I can take care of them. Boluo County belongs to Dongguan County, and there is Hou Wu in between, so it is out of reach."
Originally, he strongly opposed Zhou Shaoyu marrying Xie Yanyan as his princess, but after reading the secret letter from Kyoto, he now really wanted Xie Yanyan to become Jingchen's woman immediately.
[Jingchen will die at the hands of Emperor Xuanwen for her]
[Jingchen likes her, she is smart and polite, and has the Xu family behind her, so she should be Jingchen's woman]
[No matter what, we must not let that villain Emperor Xuanwen get away with it]
Xie Yanyan was worried, but she didn't care when she heard what King Nanhai was thinking.
She has the final say on who she wants to marry. No one can scheme against her, not even Zhou Xiaocheng has the right.
She didn't eat much of the food, she just drank wine in depression and contacted Xiaomei urgently.
"Xiao Mei, redeem this for a scan and move object in and around Zhou Shaoyu's location."
[Exchange successful, scan and move objects in and around Zhou Shaoyu's location, only once a day, valid for 10 minutes]
In an instant, Xie Yanyan saw Zhou Shaoyu.
Zhou Shaoyu had disheveled hair, was shackled, and his head was pressed to the ground. He was being tortured.
Xie Yanyan only took one look and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but she had to look at it.
"Let go, let go of the prince..."
The one who spoke was Zhou Jin. He was beaten even more severely, with a broken leg. He was struggling to crawl on the ground, his body covered in blood. It was impossible to tell whether he was blind or not, as his entire head was badly swollen.
His fingers were probably broken, so he crawled using his palms and forearms, and a trail of blood was left with every word he spoke.
"Write your confession, otherwise, the entire Nanhai Palace will be implicated. If you dare to hit the prince, you should have known this day would come."
The Dali Temple Minister was a skinny middle-aged man. He said without any emotion: "If you die, you can save the entire Nanhai Palace. Write it down. Be a man and take it all on yourself. Don't let your parents, brothers and sisters get hurt."
Zhou Shaoyu tried hard to arch his back, but several jailers stepped hard on his back.
"Actually, even if you don't write it, you'll still be dead. But if you don't write a confession, it would be disrespectful to the royal family, and the entire palace will be buried with you."
The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple shook the confession in his hand towards him.
"If you're dead, using your finger to make a handprint will have the same effect."
Xie Yanyan turned the scan to the outside of the door. A luxurious carriage stopped outside the prison and Dong Shiliu helped the prince down.
The prince had a bruised face and nose and had difficulty walking, so Dong Shiliu carried him on his back.
"Hurry up." The prince said anxiously, "Jingchen can't die."
Dong Shiliu carried him on his back and hurried to Zhou Shaoyu's cell, shouting, "Stop."
He was seriously injured, so his voice wasn't too high, but he used all his strength and grimaced in pain.
The Dali Temple official frowned and said, "Your Highness, why are you here? I am trying a case."
When the prince saw Zhou Shaoyu, the jailer's foot was still kicking him on the back. The angry prince pointed at the Dali Temple and said, "Is this how you try a case? He was just competing with me, and I am not as skilled as him. It's not a big deal. Father, you can just beat him with a stick, but why do you have to humiliate him?"
Dali Temple Minister: "Prince..."
[One minute left]
The prompt sound suddenly sounded, and Xie Yanyan was awakened.
Zhou Shaoyu was injured too badly and Zhou Jin might have died, but the prince went to rescue him personally.
"Xiao Mei, move all the large rocks in the space to the Golden Throne Hall and smash them!"
[The Heavenly Prison is far away from the Imperial Palace, the exchange failed... Time is up]
Damn it, 10 minutes have passed while we were talking!
Xie Yanyan's face turned even colder with regret.
She lost her usual calmness today and was in a panic, wasting ten golden minutes.
"Miss Xie?" King Nanhai asked Xie Yanyan several questions, but she didn't respond.
This kid is slacking off in front of me?
"Miss Xie, my prince is calling you!" Xu Pang had been standing in the corner preparing for the banquet.
Seeing Xie Yanyan's straight gaze, it didn't seem like he was being disrespectful to the prince, but rather that he was distracted!
I give up. I can actually be distracted at this time.
Xie Yanyan suddenly stood up and said to the King of Nanhai: "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to do, so I will leave first."
The King of Nanhai also had something on his mind. He smiled and nodded, saying, "You are tired. Have a good rest. Tomorrow the King will arrange for Xu Pang to entertain you well."
Xie Yanyan did not answer and left the hall.
Xu Wenrong didn't know what she wanted, so he stood up and accompanied her out.
After they left, the King of Nanhai also left in a hurry.
Before leaving, he said to Zhou Tu: "You arrange for the people in the salt mine to be well prepared, and send all the recent cash to the fiefdom."
Zhou Tu knew that something big was going to happen, so he said "OK".
Xie Yanyan returned to the inn and said to Xu Wenrong, "Cousin, I'm not feeling well. I'm going to sleep first. Please do as you please. We'll talk tomorrow."
Without waiting for Xu Wenrong to speak, she closed the door of her room.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she lost her normal state, Xu Wenrong did not bother her. He just said outside the door, "Sister, I'm in the room and I'm not going anywhere. If you have any problems, call me immediately."
Holding a bamboo tube, he shot a beautiful firework into the sky with a whoosh.
It was just getting dark at this time. The salt market was rich, so setting off fireworks was not uncommon, so no one took it seriously.
Not long after, two people came to the inn quickly, and when they saw Xu Wenrong, they followed him into his room.
After the two men left, Xu Wenrong took out a cloth bag from his waist, took out a few copper coins from it, and carefully told a divination on the table. He then deduced it several times, and sweat gradually began to seep out of his head.
He speculated on the coin for a while, calculating it again and again.
I put away the cloth bag, jumped onto the roof, lay on the roof and looked at the vast sky and the twinkling stars.
This fate of Zhou Shizi is rich and noble! He is smart and talented, has outstanding talents, is both kind and filial, and is good at both civil and military affairs. He suffered disasters in his childhood, but luck came when he turned 18, and everything went well for him, and his ambitions became better. His wife is virtuous and he will live a long life.
But today is a matter of life and death.
The divination showed that it was a fatal disaster!!
