As she spoke, tears slowly slid down her face. The stubborn and indifferent look made Lu Zhenzhi stunned. Is this girl angry?
"Hey..." Lu Zhenzhi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Fu Tong'er.
"Ninth Uncle! Respect yourself." Fu Tong'er emphasized her tone. She stared intently at the man who had made promises and spoken sweet nothings to her during dinner that night.
"Give me some time..." Lu Zhenzhi put the cloak on her again and whispered, "It's cold in prison. As long as you have my cloak, no one will dare to torture you." He then wrapped her with absolute strength and did not let go until she stopped struggling.
Fu Tong'er whispered, "As the Regent, you're second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Can't you just take me away? Or is it that all those sweet words Master Jiu said were just... lies?! He's just flirting with a little girl, and he doesn't have to take responsibility anyway! Is that right, Lord Regent?!"
She actually said he lied to her!
"Even the Regent can't do whatever he wants!!" Lu Zhenzhi roared at her! Like a volcanic eruption -
The roar echoed back and forth in the hall...
Then, there was a terrifying silence!
In the Great Yan Empire, who dared to provoke Lu Zhenzhi? He was the regent whose hands were stained with blood, having conquered countless cities! Just the sight of his intimidating eyes was enough to make one imagine him on the battlefield, clutching the heads of his enemies, looking like a living hell!
Inside the hall, the emperor, guards, eunuchs, palace maids, and King Hui all looked over here, but no one spoke a word.
Just now, King Hui couldn't help but take a step towards Fu Tong'er in the center of the hall, but then retracted his foot.
…
Fu Tong'er was even more shocked.
Tears immediately fell, and she choked and said, "Master Jiu, are you mean to me...?"
"Yan'er! I'm sorry, I..."
"Yan...er?! 'Me'?" Fu Tong'er's pupils suddenly dilated and tears fell one after another.
Lu Zhenzhi himself was stunned... he had realized that he had lost control just now!
He did yell at her!
It's because of anxiety! It's because of anxiety!
He did call the girl of his youth!
Because I don’t want history to repeat itself!
The man held his forehead and stood up, pacing beside Fu Tong'er with his hands on his hips...
Yan'er was a girl he met when he was less than 20 years old. She was burned alive by the Emperor, who was then the Prince of Jin...
The scene today is so similar to that day!
He was anxious! He didn't want to lose Fu Tong'er again like he lost Yan'er!
My tone was indeed a bit harsh just now, and I even called another girl's name...
At this time, Fu Tong'er stood up, her heart as dead as death, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please put me in prison!"
Lu Zhenzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her cold expression. For a moment, he felt as if there were thousands of mountains and thousands of streams between them.
Fu Tong'er said indifferently: "Since Jiu Ye has his own concerns, then let me die. Jiu Ye won't feel bad anyway. Jiu Ye can find countless girls anyway... Anyway... Hey, Yan'er, Jiu Ye treats me as a substitute, right?"
When Lu Zhenzhi heard this, he was furious. What nonsense was this girl saying? At this moment, his temples began to ache. This girl is really capable! Thinking of this, the man closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed his anger!
The emperor originally wanted to execute Fu Tong'er, but now that the regent's clothes were on her, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
"There are many suspicious points in this matter," said Hui Wang Lu Qixuan. Although he was not kind to Fu Tong'er, he had no intention of killing her. "Father, you can't just say she is a member of the Bailian Sect based on a list. Besides, the assassination of the Empress Dowager happened a year ago. You should just find the assassin. It has nothing to do with Tong'er. But to conclude that Tong'er is a member of the Bailian Sect based on a list is a bit arbitrary."
The emperor snorted, feeling grateful to his eldest son for not standing on the same side with him this time. He could only say: "Come here, take him to jail!"
Inside the prison
"Li Si, a pretty girl has been brought in." Liu Er, the jailer here, was drinking.
Li Si put down the red-hot iron and said, "Really? Let's go and take a look."
Li Si and Liu Er went down the stairs and ran into the dungeon.
I saw a girl inside, wrapped in a cloak that was extremely disproportionate to her body shape.
He walked over laughing.
"Girl, what have you done wrong? Why are you brought in?" Li Si opened the door and looked at her evilly with his eyes rolling around.
This cloak looks like a man's, why did he come in wearing men's clothes? Li Si wondered in his heart.
