Chapter 376: Love is real, killing is also real
Zong Yuancheng looked at the two people standing in front of him.
A bitter smile.
"If it were anyone else, they would have laughed at me long ago, but you two have such calmness in your eyes."
"It has to be you two, Ji Chenchuan and Lin Qingjun."
"Or maybe Xiao Yuan is right. If we don't get rid of you, we won't be able to move forward."
Ji Chenchuan said, "You called us here, not to talk about these nonsense, right? Tell me, what do you want? Or why are you injured so seriously?"
Zong Yuancheng looked at his limbs. Except for his head, he could not move any other part of his body. He also had no feeling in his hands and feet.
At this moment, a hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes.
"Ji Chenchuan, I don't know who that Xiao Yuan is. I thought he was a self-righteous guy, a poor scholar born in a peasant family, a person who could be crushed to death with one hand. I despise him the most."
"Also, he clearly did that with Mu Wanyun, and Mu Wanyun also took out the golden ticket to avoid death. We all thought that Mu Wanyun could save her life, and we all thought that Xiao Yuan was dead."
When Zong Yuancheng thought of that day, the shock in his eyes was still there.
"But do you know what happened? Xiao Yuan killed Mu Wanyun with a single blow, and the golden medal of immunity fell into his hands. He looked at us with bloodthirsty eyes, scolding us for being too weak. She was just some ancient woman. What else could we do?"
It would be fine if Mu Wanyun was just an ordinary woman, but she was the daughter of the Prime Minister. How dare Xiao Yuan do that? Even if the Empress wanted to touch Mu Wanyun, she would have to think about Prime Minister Mu.
"What shocked us even more was yet to come. Xiao Yuan actually took that bloody gold medal to see my father?"
"Haha, Ji Chenchuan, Lin Qingjun, what do you think? Is Xiao Yuan crazy? How dare he do that?"
When Ji Chenchuan heard this, his expression remained calm.
Zong Yuancheng was puzzled again, "You, aren't you shocked? Why don't you even have the slightest expression?"
Zong Yuancheng looked at Ji Chenchuan again, and suddenly recalled what Xiao Yuan had said to him, "Ji Chenchuan is not an ordinary character. He is a villain who surpasses the protagonist. Don't underestimate him."
He didn't care at the time, but now, he seems to believe it a little.
Ji Chenchuan said, "What's so shocking? Here, anything can happen. Of course, I know Xiao Yuan much better than you do. Not to mention that he killed Mu Wanyun, even if he killed Queen Feng, it would be within my expectations. However...
"However, I didn't think he would act so quickly. I never expected that in just a month, he would seriously injure both you and the Crown Prince."
Zong Yuancheng was stunned again. What? He actually expected all this?
He was anxious. "Since you knew what kind of person he was, why did you let him go? Why didn't you kill him with a single blow?"
Ji Chenchuan sneered, "What does it have to do with you whether I let him go or kill him? It's clearly your own fault that you can't defeat him, yet you're saying it's my fault, Zong Yuancheng, that's all you can do."
"You?" Zong Yuancheng was furious. "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Ji Chenchuan, I don't care if you're a villain or not. Now, as long as you kill Xiao Yuan, after I sit on the throne, you will be second to none. How do you say that?"
Lin Qingjun couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Eleventh Prince, did you rush us here just to make this kind of deal with you?"
Zong Yuancheng asked, "What else? Also, what's with that tone of your voice? Do you think Xiao Yuan is the easiest person to deal with? You're kidding! Father has already made him his confidant. For the past month, Father has listened to him. Even the serious injuries to the Crown Prince and me were caused by Xiao Yuan."
"So, I asked you to kill him. Is that wrong?"
Zong Yuancheng was extremely angry. He never thought that Xiao Yuan would be his biggest opponent, let alone that he would fall into the hands of such a person?
Lin Qingjun sighed again, "We won't listen to you, and we won't make such a deal with you. It sounds nice to say that you're second only to the emperor, but which emperor in ancient times liked such a person? Moreover, when a lame man's leg is healed, the first thing he throws away is his crutches. So, do you think you will still protect us after you take the throne?"
this?
Lin Qingjun sneered again.
"Also, do you really think that all this was instigated by Xiao Yuan, and not your father's intention?"
Zong Yuancheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Ji Chenchuan took over the conversation, "What I mean is, without your father's permission, even if Xiao Yuan had this ability, he would not be able to harm you and the Crown Prince. Don't forget, your mother is his favorite concubine, and the Queen is a member of the Feng clan. No matter which one, Xiao Yuan, a mere student, can touch you."
In other words, the person who really wanted to take action against them was the emperor, not Xiao Yuan.
Lin Qingjun continued, "If the matter is exposed, then the emperor can say that he was bewitched by Xiao Yuan. If it succeeds, then the emperor will clear away those who stand in his way."
The best of both worlds.
When Zong Yuancheng heard this, his head was buzzing. He couldn't believe that all this was done by his beloved father.
"That's impossible. I'm his favorite son. He gives me everything good. How could he possibly want to destroy me? And my mother is the woman he loves the most."
But when he saw the sympathetic looks of Ji Chenchuan and the others, he was speechless again.
He murmured decadently.
"Yes, what does it matter if I have a beloved son and a beloved woman? Nothing can compare to this kingdom. If, if I had a son like that, I would kill him just as well to protect my kingdom."
So, is the love he showed fake?
But it was obvious that the look in his eyes when he looked at them was so affectionate.
Lin Qingjun sighed, "Love is true, but killing and injuring you is also true. And it can be seen that he loves the country more."
Zong Yuancheng was completely speechless. The pain in his limbs was not as severe as the pain in his chest.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly, "Ji Chen Chuan Lin Qingjun, I am already useless. So, can you please enter the palace and stop my mother now? She doesn't know what kind of person my father is. Although I also love the country very much, I don't want her to get hurt."
He had blamed her before, and had thought about leaving her in the Empress Dowager's palace after becoming emperor, but he had to admit that he still didn't want anything to happen to her at this time.
Ji Chenchuan looked at Zong Yuancheng and saw that he was sincere without any calculation. He nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, Ji Chenchuan took Lin Qingjun away from the house again.
But they didn't see the sinister look that flashed across Zong Yuancheng's eyes...
