Chapter 156
A terrifying scene
How mad and cruel must a person be to not even spare a corpse?
Knowing that they valued Jiang Zhiyu and that they couldn't let him go, he had already stabbed them in the heart and soul, but he still shot another arrow.
How can people be so bad?
"Someone come."
Jiang Zhaoying screamed hoarsely, Sinan hurried forward, his eyes full of worry and pain, and Jiang Zhaoying pointed outside.
"Go and call Liu Yanchen."
"yes."
Si Nan didn't ask why and just turned around and rushed out.
Liu Yanchen rushed to the ice room at full speed, but the scene in front of him shocked him.
Jiang Zhaoying fell to the ground with an extremely vicious expression. Blood was flowing on the transparent ice brick, and there was unwiped blood at the corner of her lips.
Liu Yanchen's handsome face was cold as he looked towards the ice coffin.
Inside.
The elegant man who seemed to be sleeping was melting rapidly for some unknown reason.
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, no matter how gloomy Liu Yanchen's mind was, he was still frightened.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyu had almost melted, and dirty water was gradually floating in the ice coffin.
The blood-red eyes slowly turned, stabbing at Liu Yanchen like a ghost.
"See?"
Holding on to the ice coffin, she stumbled to her feet.
Liu Yanchen subconsciously wanted to go forward to help her, but was stopped by Si Nan behind him. Si Nan supported his young lady with a cold look in his eyes.
Liu Yanchen looked at Jiang Zhiyu who was melting continuously, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
He never thought that things would get to this point with Jiang Zhaoying. He loved Jiang Zhaoying and he made a lot of efforts to be with her.
But he has too much to bear, and thousands of people in the Liu family are counting on him!
"Liu Yanchen, didn't you say you would give me an explanation? How are you going to explain?"
She wanted Liu Yanchen to see with his own eyes how cruel and shameless her father and sister were.
"Just because you are of noble birth and your sister is a daughter of heaven, my brother deserves to be wronged by you, to be ruined by you, and to be crushed to ashes by you. Just because your sister is unruly and willful, my family deserves to be destroyed!"
Liu Yanchen's handsome face turned pale in an instant. He walked up to Jiang Zhaoying and stretched out his hand... Jiang Zhaoying quickly took a step back, hatred surging in her eyes.
"sorry."
But in the end he could only leave these three words and then flee.
"Miss, take another antidote."
Si Nan was still a little worried, so he took another pill from his arms and fed it into Jiang Zhaoying's mouth, then gently advised.
"Shall we bury the young master first?"
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying bit the pill hard, the bitter taste filling her lips and teeth. She forced herself to be more sober, and asked everyone to keep Yang Pianpian and the others in the yard. Then she arranged for someone to put her brother's remains into a coffin and send it to the ancestral land before the ice melted.
Until she heard the servants report that everything had been arranged at the ancestral land, and the surrounding formations had been set up according to her instructions, and they went to the royal temple to ask a high monk to chant sutras for Jiang Zhiyu for three years, hoping that he would rest in peace soon.
At this time.
Jiang Zhaoying went to her own yard to wash and fumigate herself, and then burned the clothes she had taken off. After changing her clothes, she went to the main courtyard.
Jiang Jianzheng and Yang Pianpian were both dejected and when they saw her come in, tears welled up in Yang Pianpian's eyes and she asked her softly.
"Why did you let the Liu family in?"
Now when she sees people from the Liu family, she wishes she could cut them into pieces and kill them with her own hands.
Jiang Zhaoying sat opposite Yang Pianpian. Shu Yun came over with hot water to help her wash her hands before turning around and leaving.
Jiang Zhaoying glanced outside and spoke in a cold voice.
"I poisoned him."
Jiang Jianzheng stood up after hearing this, ran to Jiang Zhaoying, held her hand tightly and said in pain.
"Why are you doing this? There is always a way to deal with them. How can you hurt a thousand people and hurt yourself eight hundred? What if you are poisoned?"
Jiang Zhaoying shook her head slightly.
"I took the antidote in advance. Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine."
"Send the doctor over here."
Jiang Jianzheng hurriedly gave orders outside.
Hearing that Yun had a heart disease, he chose a doctor to live in the mansion.
Yang Pianpian was also stunned when she heard this. There were not many ways to poison Liu Yanchen. It was impossible to poison him by eating or using it, so she could only smell it. That was to say, the poison was on her body, and Liu Yanchen would be poisoned after smelling the smell, which meant that Jiang Zhaoying herself was also poisoned.
"Zhaoying, how could you use such a dangerous method? Liu Yanchen is so smart that he will soon suspect you."
After Yang Pianpian figured it out, tears welled up in her eyes and she hurried forward to check on Jiang Zhaoying. Jiang Zhaoying held her hand and sat down together.
"I took the antidote in advance. Don't worry, sister-in-law. The poison has its own ingenuity. Although it can be transmitted from person to person, it also requires certain conditions to be met. If the other person is emotionally unstable and has a surge of blood and qi, they will be poisoned quickly. If the other person is calm, it doesn't matter even if they smell it. However, this poison can also be transmitted through the acacia."
Jiang Jianzheng knew what kind of poison it was when he heard her say that.
This poison was developed by her mother and had been kept in a dark room and never used. If Jiang Zhaoying hadn't told him, he would have forgotten about it.
This medicine is unique in the entire Daye Kingdom. Even the best doctors may not be able to detect it. Even if they do, they may not be able to make an antidote.
The Jiang family also has only one bottle of antidote!
"Have all the medicines that should be delivered been delivered? Have they been delivered by the palace?"
Jiang Zhaoying turned to ask Feicui with red eyes, and Feicui stepped forward and saluted.
"Everyone was given double portions according to the lady's list."
"Miss, His Highness, Lord Xu, and Ayu are here."
Jiang Jianzheng hurriedly stood up and led everyone out to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After greeting everyone one by one, everyone returned to the main courtyard and sat down.
The prince looked at Jiang Zhaoying's sad and pale appearance, and the hostility deep in his heart surged like a huge wave.
The net has been laid.
The rest, they need time.
Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Jian are on the right track.
"Master, I have sent people to the ancestral land to bury Zhiyu properly. In addition, the exact date has been reported to the palace, but the emperor chose to trust Prince Yueming and Prime Minister Liu. Now, a lot of arrangements have been made to prepare for the fifth day of the new year."
A Yu raised his face slightly, and Jiang Zhaoying looked at him. The scar on his face was lighter than before, and not as scarlet as before, and began to show flesh color. It seemed that he felt a lot more comfortable. He looked at Jiang Zhaoying and then said in a cold voice.
"The fifth day will be calm and peaceful."
Until then.
They would spread things to make the people and court officials believe that since the evil spirit did not come on a certain day, it would not come this year.
Some people will say that it must be King Yue Ming. King Yue Ming is protected by dragon energy, so evil spirits dare not appear on his birthday.
even.
Some people would say that King Yue Ming can protect his country and his people, so he is the real Crown Prince.
Then.
Someone would suggest that since the birthday was not celebrated well on the fifth day, then choose another day to celebrate it again, and that day would be the ninth day.
"Your Highness."
Jiang Jian was looking towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"This matter is extremely dangerous. Your Highness must be careful at that time."
"I know."
The prince nodded sullenly.
"Speaking of which, this evil energy has entered my body since ten years ago. Although the Imperial Observatory has helped to resist it, I always feel that this evil energy is getting stronger and stronger. Jiang Jianzheng, do you know the reason?"
Jiang Jianzheng's face froze slightly and he looked at Jiang Zhaoying. Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Because the dragon vein is getting weaker and weaker."
The prince's face suddenly changed when he heard this. Zhaoying had never told him about this matter. Moreover, he had told Zhaoying in Qingshan Town that he wanted to control the dragon vein. Zhaoying said that people should take the long view, and they have not talked about this topic until now.
But I didn't expect that there was something wrong with the dragon vein.
"Your Highness."
Jiang Jianzheng sighed softly.
"Several important disciples of the Imperial Observatory have gone on a long journey to find the location of the damaged dragon vein to see if it can be repaired. However, the day when the evil spirit enters the city is getting closer and closer. We cannot expect them to repair the dragon vein and fight against the evil spirit. Also, because the Imperial Observatory has lost a group of important disciples, their strength has been weakened. By then, the Prince's Mansion may have to make great efforts."
"kindness."
The prince nodded. It was his responsibility to protect the city, but... frowning, he asked Jiang Jianzheng.
"This is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If the evil spirit comes every year, then Daye will suffer every year. The people will be in constant fear and anxiety, which is not a solution. Is there any way we can solve this problem once and for all?"
"some."
Jiang Zhaoying spoke.
"Make it better and everything will be solved."
The prince's heart sank suddenly. It was not easy to restore the dragon vein.
"Your Highness, we will discuss what to do after the evil has passed. There is a way, but it is very dangerous and difficult."
"good."
As long as they can think of a way, they have to work hard to do it.
Then.
After the group had carefully discussed the arrangements, Jiang Zhaoying stood up to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off. On the way, Jiang Zhaoying whispered.
"A young man proposed marriage to Luo Zhinian. Madam Luo and Luo Zhiheng are very satisfied. From now on, the person His Highness will use is Luo Zhiheng."
"kindness."
Give him three years. If he can replace Minister Luo and take charge of the entire Luo family, then use him.
"I think the adopted brother of Madam Luo is not very simple, although I haven't found anything about him yet."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"I'll give it to Xin Luo Zhiheng and ask him to check it out secretly first."
"Zhaoying, be careful."
The prince stood still, facing Jiang Zhaoying. There was a hint of pain in his eyes when he held her cold hand. Jiang Zhaoying looked up at the prince and nodded gently.
After the discussion just now, they all knew that what was coming would be a tough battle, a tough battle on how to bring down the Liu family.
"I have already sent people to keep an eye on the Liu Mansion. If anything happens, they will report directly to you."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave the Jiang Mansion and then watched him get on the carriage and leave. Then she turned and entered the mansion and walked to the side door on the south side. After waiting for about half an hour, she heard a rhythmic knock on the door. The servant hurriedly opened the side door, and a middle-aged man dressed as a commoner came over pushing a vegetable cart, lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
"When the second young master returned to the mansion, he went into the fourth young lady's yard and slapped her so hard that she vomited blood. Then she started crying and making a fuss and invited His Royal Highness Prince Yueming into the mansion."
"King Yueming?"
Jiang Zhaoying put a large silver note into his hand.
"Be careful, hide the money well, and keep giving me good news. You know, you will never earn as much as I give you in one go in your entire life at Liu Mansion."
"I know, so I am loyal to Miss Jiang."
When the banknote was handed to him just now, he took a look and saw that there was one thousand and two taels of silver on it. The old servant was overjoyed and quickly expressed his loyalty. He also brought in a basket of vegetables from the cart, and then whispered in a mysterious tone.
"Miss Jiang, I seem to have discovered a huge secret!"
"kindness?"
Jiang Zhaoying took out another silver note and gave it to him, and the old servant walked forward mysteriously and fearfully.
"I was responsible for trimming the flowers and plants in the mansion. That day, it was my turn to trim the Fourth Young Lady's yard. I am related to the housekeeper, so when I do things, I usually don't inform the housekeeper. But I heard shocking news."
Coming a little closer, the old servant continued speaking in a tone that was both flattering and horrified.
"That night, a letter came from the palace saying that the princess was ill and asked the fourth young lady to take care of her. But the next day, the fourth young lady came back and went into her room for a long time. I was curious and hid by the window to listen. As a result, I heard that the emperor seemed to favor the young lady!!!"
"What?"
This news shocked Jiang Zhaoying, Ziying and the servants beside her.
How is this possible?
No matter what, the emperor should not favor the daughter of a minister, let alone the fiancée of Prince Yueming.
This...this is too outrageous!
"What shocked this old servant even more was that the young lady seemed to accept it and thought it was a good idea. On one side was the emperor, and on the other was Prince Yueming. No matter who was in power, she would be the most noble woman."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at the old slave with a slight movement of her eyebrows.
"Go back and investigate again. If I'm right, Miss Liu Si must want to cover up the fact that she lost her virginity. Since she took this opportunity to summon Prince Yue Ming into the palace, she must have done something with Prince Yue Ming to cover up the traces of being favored by the emperor. If the information is useful, I will give you another two thousand taels."
The old servant's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
After going out.
The old slave looked around and hurried away disguised as a vegetable farmer.
"Purple Shadow."
"Here I am."
Ever since the purple shadow went from dark to light, his clothes and appearance have returned to normal.
"Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter and ask him to send another person who is good at light work and good at hiding to keep an eye on the Liu Mansion. Firstly, I want to see if this servant of the Liu Mansion can still be used. Secondly, I also want to see if anything happened between the Fourth Miss Liu and Prince Yueming."
If Miss Liu Si could get King Yue Ming to enjoy the pleasure of love with her, the poison could be passed to King Yue Ming's body, and that would be perfect.
This poison is colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect, and requires specific stimulation during the onset period.
When the right opportunity comes, she will find a way to stimulate the poison, and Liu Yanchen, Liu Si and King Yue Ming will all die.
What's worse.
You can also take the emperor with you.
"I'll do it right away."
Ziying turned and left, and Jiang Zhaoying glanced at the closed side door.
"Send more people to guard the doors of the mansion."
"yes."
After the servant agreed, he immediately went to make arrangements. Jiang Zhaoying stood in the yard, staring blankly at the garden full of flowers planted by her brother with his own hands, and her heart began to ache sharply.
My brother died a very miserable death in his previous life, but this life was not much better.
Why?
Why does it have to be like this?
Look up.
She looked at the sky, her eyes filled with hostility.
