Chapter 193 What a disgusting thing!
The people in the courtyard rushed forward and almost instantly overwhelmed King Cheng. Those on the Wangxing Tower were killed or injured. The remaining people were quickly captured by Xiaowei and the people brought by Yongxin Hou as soon as they came to the ground.
The heavy rain was still falling. The arrows that had been shot at the Wangxing Tower were smeared with tung oil. Instead of being extinguished, they caught fire. The entire courtyard was illuminated by the raging fire, and the commotion at Prince Cheng's Mansion almost alarmed the entire capital.
"Father..."
Xie Yin was tugging at King Cheng's sleeve, looking helpless. It could be seen that Canglang and his men on the opposite side had come forward to suppress King Cheng. King Cheng, who had a murderous look on his face just now, had never resisted from beginning to end.
He became more and more flustered, and when someone pushed him down, he looked up in panic.
"Mother, Mother, save me..."
ah--
Cang Lang kicked Xie Yin hard on the ankle, knocking him to his knees. "Now you know how to call me mom. When you saw your father killing someone just now, weren't you enjoying the fun?"
"I didn't, I... I was just scared, I don't know..."
Xie Yin's face turned pale with pain. As he was being dragged out, he grabbed Princess Cheng's sleeve when he passed by her, his eyes filled with tears with fear.
"Mother, mother, I was just scared just now. Please save me. I didn't know about my father's affairs. I didn't know he was hiding weapons. I, I just thought you killed my grandmother. I was panicking..."
Bang!
Princess Cheng slapped him hard in the face: "Do you not know the truth, or do you know the truth and yet you team up with Xie Tianyu to harm me?"
"I don't!"
"If you didn't, why do you think I was the one who killed the Concubine?"
"I……"
Xie Yin hugged her arm, his face pale. "I don't know. It was my father who came to me at night and cried to me about your change of heart. He told me that this time when you came back, you didn't treat us as affectionately as before. I really don't know anything..."
"I just heard someone outside shouting for help, and then I saw you leading them out of Grandmother's room, covered in blood. It was Father who said you killed Grandmother, and it was he who said you colluded with Xiao Yan and the others to destroy the palace."
"I don't know anything. I, I didn't mean to hurt you..."
Princess Cheng looked at Xie Yin, who was making excuses and crying, but her heart was no longer moved.
She once regarded this child as her own life. Even though she hated Xie Tianyu for deceiving her, she also thought about enduring it for Xie Yin. She was angry at his foolish behavior, but she was also afraid that she would be blamed for leaving the palace because of her.
The biggest reason why she came back to Prince Cheng's Mansion was because she couldn't bear to leave Xie Yin. However, when she was on the verge of death just now, Xie Tianyu wanted to kill her, but Xie Yin stood in the corridor and did nothing.
There was no moment when she knew so clearly that her son did not see her as his mother.
Princess Cheng pulled her hand away forcefully: "You don't want to harm me, but you can sit back and watch me die. Xie Yin, I don't have a son as cruel as you."
"Mother..."
"Get out of here!"
Seeing Xie Yin was about to rush over and cry for help, Gu Helian kicked him, making him stagger: "What a disgusting thing!"
He turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Hurry up and tell your men to drag this ungrateful bastard away. I'm sick of looking at him any longer."
Canglang directly pulled the man up and carried him out.
Gu Helian was hit by an arrow in the back and was gasping for breath in pain. He heard Xie Yin shouting "Mother" as he was dragged away. When he saw that Princess Cheng refused to plead for him, he screamed and cursed her for being "heartless."
He couldn't help but spit and cursed viciously: "If he wasn't Rong Yue's son, I really wanted to skin him alive."
Marquis Wenxin looked at Princess Cheng, whose face was extremely pale, and thought about what happened tonight, which was difficult to describe in words.
In the past, I thought that the prince of the Cheng Palace was young and confused, so he was deceived by the concubine of the Song family. But now I know that he is not young and ignorant at all, but is as cruel and cold-hearted as his father.
If he had a son like that, he would rather throw him into the toilet and drown him.
"Master Xiao, there are still people alive inside."
Wu Huai brought the people from Jingzhao Prefecture into the dowager's house. He was shocked when he saw the old dowager's miserable death. The coroner who followed him carefully ordered people to carry out the dowager's body. After checking, they found that Nanny Jiang, who was lying on the ground, was still alive.
Seeing someone carrying Nanny Jiang out, Gu Helian spat, "This old hag is not dead yet?"
Jinyun followed him in, wiped his hands and said, "Although he's not dead yet, his tongue was cut, his hands and feet are broken, and his internal organs are damaged. I'm afraid he won't survive."
Prince Cheng obviously didn't want to save Nanny Jiang's life.
When Nanny Jiang was put on the ground, she was dying. The torture by Prince Cheng's confidant almost took her life. She survived by holding on to her last breath.
Her vision was blurred by the pain, and when she vaguely saw Princess Cheng standing outside, her eyes bulged and she struggled to stare at her, her mouth wide open and she let out an "Ahhh" sound.
It's a pity that his tongue was cut off and he couldn't speak. There was only a bloody mass in his open mouth. The fingers he tried to raise were twisted strangely, looking particularly terrifying in the night.
The Second Prince covered his mouth and frowned: "Uncle Cheng is really cruel."
Wu Huai also shook his head: "Killing is not the end of the world. He is so..." It is really too cruel.
Marquis Wenxin had met Princess Cheng before, so he naturally knew that the old woman in front of him was a close confidant of Princess Cheng. He couldn't help but glance at Princess Cheng, and saw that her face was getting paler.
"A person who betrays his master like this deserves to die."
Princess Cheng pursed her lips tightly when she heard this. Compared to Xie Tianyu and Xie Yin, Nanny Jiang's betrayal was the most difficult thing for her to accept. This was the wet nurse who had taken care of her and raised her. She was the person she trusted and relied on like a half-mother. She had never doubted her even when she returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
"Why did you betray me?" Princess Cheng couldn't help but ask.
“Ahhhh—”
Nanny Jiang shook her head vigorously with tears in her eyes. When her already messy gray hair fell apart, she looked like a mad woman.
She wanted to say that she had not betrayed him, that she was confused for a moment, and that she was deceived by Xie Tianyu, but all the words turned into unclear cries when they came to her lips.
Her mouth was filled with blood, and Nanny Jiang tried desperately to swallow it, but the blood flowed out of her nose. She struggled like a maggot, trying to grab Princess Cheng's dress, and her body left a long trail of blood on the ground.
Gu Helian hurriedly pulled Princess Cheng back two steps, causing her hand, which had just touched the hem of her skirt, to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Ignore this crazy woman and let's go."
Princess Cheng closed her eyes tiredly to hide the tears in her eyes, then she said "hmm" softly and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Nanny Jiang suddenly started screaming wildly.
“Ahhhhhh—”
“Ahhh—”
Song Tangning was startled and was led back by Xiao Yan. The yamen runners from Jingzhao Prefecture almost failed to hold down Nanny Jiang.
She seemed to be really crazy, lying on the ground and struggling constantly, blood gushing out of her mouth, but she still stared at the direction of Princess Cheng, stretched out her hands, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
