Chapter 181 The Death of King Luo
Zhang Chao hesitated.
Wei Zhifeng on the side shook his head, "Go ahead, the prince will know sooner or later."
When Prince Luo Li Zhengyu saw their expressions, he knew that something must have happened when he fainted.
I couldn't help feeling dizzy.
He couldn't help but clutch the quilt tightly, gritting his teeth:
"explain!"
Zhang Chao lowered his head and told all the trivial things that happened in the mansion.
When Li Zhengyu heard that his second son who died young was killed by Concubine Han, he was angry for a moment.
The second child is smart.
But he quickly calmed down. So many years had passed and now was not the time to dwell on it.
Han Mei, this vicious woman, deserves to die.
But this account can be settled later.
"Go on." Li Zhengyu closed his eyes.
Zhang Chao looked at Wei Zhifeng.
What is coming will eventually come. Wei Zhifeng sighed silently and took a step forward.
"Your Highness, the weapons we forged and the treasures we hid over there have all disappeared."
After saying this, Wei Zhifeng wanted to bury his head in the ground.
He was too embarrassed to see the prince.
The prince entrusted these things to him for safekeeping because he trusted him.
But now he has lost all these things, and he is too ashamed to see the prince.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhengyu suddenly opened his eyes, his face turned ashen, and his chest began to hurt violently.
"Are you...are you serious?"
After saying that, Li Zhengyu reached out and covered his chest. It hurt so much!
Wei Zhifeng nodded. "Just like the missing property in the palace, there was no trace left. The things just disappeared out of thin air."
puff!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhengyu could no longer bear it. His body stiffened and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!"
Wei Zhifeng and the other man immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, take care of yourself."
But after spitting out the blood, Li Zhengyu's aura was much weaker than before, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
"It's over. What I've been planning for half my life is gone just like that."
Li Zhengyu murmured.
"Your Highness!" Wei Zhifeng lowered his head guiltily.
"As long as you are here, everything is possible."
"Yes, Your Highness, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your health." Zhang Chao on the side also advised.
Li Zhengyu stretched out his hand and waved, "I've been preparing for this day for over ten years. How can I have another ten years to prepare now?"
"God wants to kill me!"
There was an indescribable sadness in Li Zhengyu's voice.
The expressions of Wei Zhifeng and the other man also grew dim.
"father!"
At this moment, Li Zhanli rushed in excitedly.
Seeing the happy Li Zhengyu, he looked excited:
"Dad, you finally woke up, that's great."
Then he squeezed to the front of Li Zhengyu's bed, half squatting and half kneeling, "Dad, I didn't mean to push you, I'm sorry."
Li Zhengyu waved his hand:
"go out!"
Then he closed his eyes.
When Li Zhanli heard that his father wanted to kick him out, he became anxious:
"Dad, I really didn't mean it.
I knew that Murong from the Divine Doctor Valley was with Xu Wuyan and others, so I immediately went to look for them.
Who knew that Murong went up the mountain to collect herbs? We searched for a long time but couldn't find him.
When I came down from the mountain, I ran into the Xu family who wanted to leave early. I then learned that Murong had gone towards Mocheng to collect herbs."
"Dad, I really didn't mean it. Really."
…
Li Zhengyu wanted to continue to chase him away, but when he heard him say that the Xu family had left, his brows furrowed, and then he opened his eyes:
"You said the Xu family left?"
Li Zhanli nodded quickly:
"Xu Wuyan was poisoned and in imminent danger, and they were helpless. When I came back, they were on their way to find Murong for help."
Seeing that his father cared so much about the Xu family's affairs, he thought he had not given up on letting him marry that woman.
He immediately started to slander Lin Mo.
It’s a pity that Li Zhengyu didn’t listen to him at all, but was thinking about Xu Wuyan’s poisoning.
As soon as the woman from the Divine Doctor Valley left, Xu Wuyan was poisoned.
What a coincidence?
Li Zhengyu always felt that things were not that simple.
The Xu family is not that stupid.
Looking up, he saw his son still slandering the other party and couldn't help but shout:
"Just shut up."
He has no idea of priorities.
After he shut up, Li Zhengyu looked up at Zhang Chao:
"Has there been any news about Xu Wuyan being poisoned?"
Zhang Chao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I called everyone to go find him.
So, our people are not very clear about how he was poisoned.
But when Concubine Han and Princess Luo were fighting, she said that it was she who forced Madam Han to poison her.
Because of this, Madam Han came to her house today to ask for some money. And it was at this time that Madam Han told her that when the Second Young Master was murdered, she saw Concubine Han's maid returning from the direction of the lake.
Li Zhengyu was in deep thought.
Li Zhanli widened his eyes. Was his brother killed by Concubine Han?
Li Zhanli felt a surge of anger in his heart.
But seeing that his father Li Zhengyu didn't say anything, he could only suppress his anger, but there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
After a while, Li Zhengyu shook his head violently:
"No, no! I'm afraid that Xu Wuyan is poisoned, but the poison cannot be cured. I'm afraid they want to use this as an excuse to leave early, and the Xu family is afraid they won't be able to leave tomorrow."
Thinking about what happened recently, Li Zhengyu suddenly felt that these things must be related to the Xu family.
It must be that ever since the Xu family showed up, things in Prince Luo's Mansion have become weird.
After figuring it out, Li Zhengyu immediately shouted coldly:
"Chase them? Zhang Chao and Wei Zhifeng, take your men and chase them immediately.
I want you to capture Xu Wuyan and his wife, and kill everyone else."
Li Zhengyu had a cold expression on his face.
Anyone who ruined his plan deserves to die!
Zhang Chao and Wei Zhifeng looked at each other, nodded, and left.
Li Zhanli was dissatisfied, "Dad, they are all gone. Why did you capture them? Just have them killed."
If he catches her, he won’t let me marry that woman again, right?
Li Zhengyu more or less guessed what his son was thinking.
He was afraid that he would let him marry Lin Mo.
Li Zhengyu shook his head in disappointment, "Zhanli, you are not suitable to be the prince. You are short-sighted and have a chicken-hearted mind."
He was already thinking about which of his remaining sons was suitable to be the crown prince.
Li Zhanli's face darkened.
So, his father wants to replace him as the prince?
He couldn't help but ask.
Seeing him nod, Li Zhanli was dissatisfied:
"Dad, are you getting senile?
I am your eldest son and legitimate son, and the throne of the crown prince was originally mine."
Li Zhengyu snorted coldly, "Who said that?
Anyone who wants to sit in this seat can sit there.
The position belongs to those with ability, but you have a narrow vision and lack the slightest sense of the overall situation. You are not worthy of being a prince. Look at what you have done recently. Is there anything you have done well?"
He is now just occupying the toilet without doing anything, and is of no use at all.
Anyone with a quick mind would know that there must be something fishy about the Xu family leaving at this time, but he didn't expect that and just let them go like that.
Also, when asked to marry a woman, he found all kinds of excuses to refuse and did everything according to his own preferences. How could such a person accomplish anything great?
Even if I succeed in my great undertaking and hand it over to him, no one will obey him, and maybe everything will be ruined in his hands in the end.
It would be better for him to train a qualified prince now.
Seeing him express his thoughts without hesitation, Li Zhanli's face twisted terribly.
He raised himself as the crown prince for more than twenty years.
Now, he can change himself whenever he wants without considering his feelings at all.
Is there any father like him?
What does he think of himself?
Tools?
Li Zhanli sneered.
It would have been nice if he had died in the morning. He would still be the prince of Luo, no, the prince of Luo...
After his death, it would be natural for him to inherit the throne.
As soon as this thought came out, a hint of madness appeared in Li Zhanli's eyes.
That’s right, now that he is gone, I will be King Luo, and no one will force me to do anything I don’t want to do.
Li Zhengyu, who hadn't noticed the change in his son at all, shook his head:
"You can leave now. Take your wife and children with you tomorrow and move out of Prince Luo's Mansion and find another place to live. You..."
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly grabbed his neck.
Li Zhengyu was shocked. Seeing his son standing so close with a distorted face, Li Zhengyu was furious. "You... let go, what... do you want to do..."
But the next second, Li Zhanli pinched his neck even harder with both hands, with a ferocious look on his face:
"Old man, you should die.
All of this is mine, don't even think about giving it to anyone else."
Li Zhengyu's face turned purple from being pinched by him, and he slapped his hand in pain:
"Evil son...let...go!"
But Li Zhanli pinched even harder and more ferociously.
Because of the force, the veins on his forehead bulged out, like a demon crawling out of hell.
He now had only one thought: pinch, pinch hard.
Strangle him to death and everything will be yours.
Li Zhengyu's eyes widened. He could never have imagined that his son would be so rebellious as to kill him.
He opened his mouth wide, trying hard to breathe.
His hand also reached out to grab Li Zhengyu's arm, but no matter how hard he grabbed, Li Zhanli refused to let go.
Finally, his eyes rolled back, his hands fell limply, and he became completely motionless.
…
Li Zhanli didn't know how long he had been pinching. When he let go and saw that his father's eyes were still fixed on him, he staggered back a few steps.
His lost sanity finally returned.
After taking a look at his father's face, which looked like he was unwilling to close his eyes after dying, Li Zhanli's body began to tremble, and he stared at his hands blankly.
He, he killed his father!
Then with a bang, he fell to the ground, and the blood color on his face instantly faded.
He, he really killed his own father.
No, I can't let anyone know that I killed him.
Li Zhanli's face was pale and he got up from the ground in a panic. He reached out to close his eyes, which were still open in death, and then pulled up the quilt to cover his body below the head.
Then he rushed out the door in a panic.
