Chapter 349 Then, kill him! Then kill him!
The contrast between Zhao Changying's behavior before and after was too great. The steward stood in front of the low couch, his eyes full of surprise.
Seeing Zhao Changying laughing heartily in front of him, the butler became wary.
After a moment of stunned silence, the butler thought for a moment, wondering when Zhao Changying had started to become like this.
It was after the soldiers in the courtyard changed shifts!
Looking at Zhao Changying, who was laughing maniacally in front of him, the butler felt a little scared.
The steward turned around and looked at the Prince of Zhenbei, who was sitting on the low couch, leaning against the brocade quilt.
Even though the Prince of Zhenbei is now half-dead, who among those who are still alive doesn't want to live?
Receiving a signal from the Prince of Zhenbei, the steward suddenly strode toward the door.
Just as the housekeeper reached the door, Zhao Changying stopped laughing and said to his retreating figure, "Too late!"
The butler placed his hand on the door latch and tried to push the door open, but there was resistance!
The butler strained his neck while shouting outside, "Who's outside? Commander Zheng? Where is Commander Zheng?"
But no matter how hard the butler tried, he still couldn't open the door.
Moreover, there was no response from "Commander Zheng" who was summoned by the steward!
The butler was genuinely panicked!
The steward turned around and glanced at the Prince of Zhenbei. Then he released his hand from the door bolt and, with all his might, slammed the door shut!
After slamming the door twice, it remained completely unmoved!
Someone outside is deliberately blocking the door!
They withstood the butler's force as he tried to bang on the door!
Why waste your energy, Steward Liu?
"Why don't you come over and tell me properly how you arranged for that orphan girl to assassinate my son?"
Zhao Changying's words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, causing the oil to splatter and splash all over people's bodies and faces!
Li Shiyue, who was still on the roof, pressed her fingers on the tiles with increasing force as Zhao Changying spoke!
Good heavens! Good heavens!
It really was the Prince of Zhenbei who sent people to carry out the attack!
It is the Prince of Zhenbei who wants to harm Liu Shu!
No, who knows if he intended to hurt someone or kill someone?
But why?
Why would he hurt his own son?
Li Shiyue was almost afraid to breathe on the rooftop, lest her breathing affect the standoff inside the house below.
After hearing Zhao Changying's question, Steward Liu was only stunned for a moment before running towards the low couch.
He stood alone in front of the low couch of the Prince of Zhenbei, and then asked Zhao Changying, who was now sitting at the round table drinking tea, with a puzzled look, "What is the Princess Consort saying?"
How could I send someone to harm the Crown Prince!
Could it be that the princess has been deceived by villains?
That's why they mistakenly thought I had arranged it?
Your Highness is wise!
I have been by the Prince's side since I was eight years old. Now I am forty-eight. I have spent these forty years by the Prince's side. My whole life has been for the Prince!
The Crown Prince is the next prince, why would I seek to harm him?
Your Highness, please don't let your love for your son fool you into falling for the tricks of these scoundrels!
"hehe!"
Butler Liu's explanations were so poignant, they sounded like a tearful lament of injustice. If Li Shiyue hadn't been on the rooftop and could see the whole room, anyone who didn't know the situation would have thought Butler Liu was truly wronged just by listening to his words.
Having seen the whole situation, Li Shiyue gently shook his head from the rooftop.
What did she see?
She saw that while Steward Liu was saying these words, his right hand, which was behind his back, was simultaneously taking the dagger handed to him by the Prince of Zhenbei, who was sitting on the low couch!
"Shut up!
Shut up!
You're lying! You're lying!
It's you!
You're the one who arranged for that girl to assassinate my Bao-ge'er on the street!
It's you!
Tell me the truth!
Is it him?!
Zhao Changying suddenly stood up. She pointed her finger at Steward Liu, or rather, at the Prince of Zhenbei behind Steward Liu.
"Did he arrange for you to assassinate the Crown Prince?!"
What do you say?
Don't you agree?
Is it him?!
Zhao Changying shouted these words and took two steps toward Steward Liu, but stopped when she was three steps away from him.
"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, then don't."
He's going to die. He's going to die, so you should die with him!
Zhao Changying's words struck a nerve with Steward Liu. Suddenly, Steward Liu rushed towards Zhao Changying, his right hand raised high, holding a dagger!
but!
At the same time, the door to the room was opened from the outside!
The man who came in carrying a long sword stepped forward and slashed at Steward Liu's right arm, which was holding the sword!
The "thud" sound is the dull thud of a blade cutting into skin;
The "crack" sound was the crisp sound of bone breaking;
Finally, there was a "thud," the sound of Steward Liu's severed arm falling onto the wooden board.
Oh, right, actually Li Shiyue also heard a "clatter" from the rooftop. The sound was from the dagger in Butler Liu's hand falling to the ground and bouncing back down.
"Erwa!"
The Prince of Zhenbei was still leaning against the brocade quilt, but his head was turned towards Zhao Changying.
Now, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Butler Liu, whose arm had been severed and who lay curled up on the ground in excruciating pain.
The Prince of Zhenbei kept calling out "Erwa, Erwa".
The person who cut off Butler Liu's arm was also an old acquaintance of Li Shiyue.
Can you guess who this person is?
It's Zhao the Bearded!
Yes, it's Zhao Guang'an, the big-bearded Zhao!
"Your Majesty, shall I kill him?"
Zhao Changying had recovered her senses by this time. She patted her chest and looked at the butler Liu curled up on the ground with some disgust. "Drag him out, drag him out right now."
As Zhao Guang'an grabbed Steward Liu by the neck and headed for the door, Zhao Changying immediately followed up, saying, "Don't kill him yet. He's been with the Prince for a long time, so he must know a lot of secrets."
"Keep him; he's still useful."
"yes!"
Zhao Guang'an dragged Steward Liu out, and of course, he didn't forget the severed arm that fell to the ground.
At this moment, besides the pool of blood on the floor, the only thing in the room that Zhao Changying is holding, with a handkerchief underneath, is the dagger that can prove what just happened in the room.
After wiping the dagger clean, Zhao Changying held it and walked towards the low couch.
"X! No way! No way!"
Li Shiyue suddenly looked up and met Li Qingyun's gaze!
Both of them were astonished!
Actually, the reason Li Qingyun came to the Prince's mansion tonight is very simple: he came to kill the Prince of Zhenbei!
Yes, the news I received from Liu Tan was that the Prince of Zhenbei was dying;
But as long as the Prince of Zhenbei is still alive, then Yan Jiuniang's marriage will be manipulated, won't it?
Because of Yan Jiuniang's matter, Li Qingyun's disciple Li Mingfeng was injured and became lame. Not only was the arrow in his left shoulder blade removed too late, but Li Mingfeng's left arm was not completely useless, but it was no longer as good as a healthy person's.
How could Li Qingyun not feel sorry for the disciple he had raised from childhood?
If it weren't for Li Shiyue, Li Mingfeng would have been dead long ago!
So what can Li Qingyun do?
It was the same thing Li Shiyue had said to Yan Jiuniang before—"Kill him! He's dead! You'll be free!"
Since poison can't kill the Prince of Zhenbei, then kill him! So kill him!
Li Qingyun came here to kill the Prince of Zhenbei!
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Li Qingyun doesn't need to take action. Zhao Changying is going to give the Prince of Zhenbei a quick death.
