Then, he smiled and said to himself: "Xie Shizhu, have you forgotten everything you promised me?"
In the past, Xie Shizhu would follow behind him, with her bright and beautiful eyes filled with admiration and love.
He then put aside his royal dignity and said eagerly, "Sir, when I sit on the throne, I will definitely give you the whole world as a betrothal gift."
When Zhong Changyao heard this, he just thought that this woman was simple and naive.
Yes, she hit upon Zhong Changyao’s desire to seize the imperial power.
After a while, he used Xie Shizhu to sow discord between her and the emperor.
It even alienated the intimacy between her and Xie Ji.
The two people, who originally had a harmonious relationship, began to hate each other as they grew older.
He taught Xie Shizhu music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also taught her martial arts.
On a full moon night, he ordered Xie Shizhu to kill the emperor, the queen, and all the concubines.
That night, Xie Shizhu stood up from a pool of blood, holding the coming-of-age gift he had given him, which was a sword he had made with his own hands.
She followed her own advice and used her martial arts and swordsmanship to kill them when everyone was off guard and there were no guards around.
The woman then carefully picked up the sword again and smiled, "Sir, I did it."
The next second, the woman, covered in blood, threw herself into his arms.
Zhong Changyao touched her hair, his eyes full of greed: "Yeah."
Unexpectedly, Xie Shizhu kept Xie Ji.
That prince controls all the connections.
Xie Ji immediately lost his mind and locked Xie Shizhu in the cold palace.
He originally thought that the brother and sister had become enemies, but a day later, Xie Shizhu appeared safe and sound.
What surprised him even more was that Xie Shizhu had changed.
Another chess piece, Ming Ruzhen, was also changed.
Zhong Changyao took a deep breath and held Xie Shizhu's token tightly.
He couldn't bear to kill Xie Shizhu, so he started with Ming Ruzhen.
*
A day later.
There was chaos in the court.
Just like a vegetable market.
Just because an official from the government office showed up.
It is said that when King Zhou was killed that day, he saw His Majesty's personal guard appear in King Zhou's palace.
This time, Xie Shizhu became the target of public criticism.
The adult swore that it was what he saw.
Immediately afterwards, the court officials whispered to each other, because Mingru was truly His Majesty's man.
If this is true, it is most likely an order from His Majesty.
Xie Shizhu pinched his brows and looked at Zhong Changyao in the crowd.
The man looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.
If Xie Shizhu didn't understand the plot, he would probably think that Zhong Changyao had nothing to do with this matter.
But she knew that Zhong Changyao was manipulating all of this behind the scenes.
Ming Ruzhen stood next to Xie Shizhu. She bit her lip and her face turned extremely pale.
Xie Shizhu scolded: "Enough!"
The woman's sharp voice gradually quieted the noisy surroundings.
Xie Shizhu endured everyone's questioning gazes and calmly said, "I am not a tyrant. Lord Liu said he saw Ming Ruzhen appear in Prince Zhou's palace with his own eyes. It was dark at night. How could you tell that the person you were talking about was her?"
Her questioning made Lord Liu stunned and he suddenly couldn't speak.
Xie Shizhu mocked, "Master Liu is deliberately trying to frame my sister."
The word "sister" stunned everyone.
Hearing this, Ming Ruzhen was so moved that her eyes turned red.
Suddenly, a man's voice broke the solemn atmosphere.
Zhong Changyao took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Yesterday, Prince Zhou's concubine came to the palace and mentioned the prince's token. If someone is using this to frame the prince, then she must have the prince's token. Since she can replicate the token, it's impossible for her to only replicate one."
Lord Liu reacted and quickly agreed, "What the Imperial Master said is absolutely right. A body search will reveal whether what I said is true or false."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Ruzhen felt numb all over.
She suddenly realized that she had fallen into the trap set by the imperial teacher.
Because a few days ago, Zhong Changyao asked her to frame the prince and did give him the prince's token.
Tokens, which symbolize identity, must not be thrown away casually.
She kept it with her, thinking she would throw it away when she had the chance to leave the palace.
Once it is thrown into the palace and discovered, it will cause trouble.
Ming Ruzhen's eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared blankly at the calm man below.
Zhong Changyao stared at her quietly, with a smile in his eyes.
As if laughing at her stupidity.
Xie Shizhu turned to look at Ming Ruzhen, and saw the fearlessness of death on the woman's face.
Her heart tightened, knowing that she was in trouble.
Damn, Zhong Changyao is so cunning.
He made her and Ming Ru really confused.
Zhong Changyao raised his eyes and glanced at Lord Liu, who immediately ordered someone to search for Ming Ruzhen.
Xie Shizhu wanted to say something but stopped herself. Damn, she was desperate.
Are we really going to let this scheming man succeed?
Ming Ruzhen took a step back and the guard grabbed her wrist.
Xie Shizhu was very anxious. She had just found an accomplice, and now it was going to be gone?
Suddenly, two figures appeared at the entrance of the court.
The man was tall and slender, and his voice was hoarse: "Wait a minute."
That’s it, everyone’s eyes turned outside the hall.
Xie Ji was covered in dust and dirt, no longer as dignified as before, and his black hair was a little messy.
The handsome profile was stained with blood.
It seems that a long time has passed and the color has faded.
His appearance shocked all the ministers.
Is this picking up trash?
It's so embarrassing.
Xie Shizhu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xie Ji as if he saw Aladdin's magic lamp.
Xie Ji's slender fingertips were still pulling a burly man.
The man was exhausted, covered in wounds, and his clothes were torn and tattered. He looked even more miserable than Xie Ji.
Xie Shizhu quickly changed the subject: "Xie Ji, where have you been? Who is this?"
The system complained: [Xie Ji is like a pet cat, bringing back all kinds of prey for you every day.]
Xie Shizhu was stunned. For the first time, he felt that the system's description was very apt.
But Xie Ji is not a cat, but a wolf.
Xie Ji threw the man inside directly, with a smile on his lips: "Royal sister, I promised you that I would not forgive the bandits who disrupted your plan."
Xie Shizhu's pupils shrank and his face was filled with shock.
Xie Ji glanced at Zhong Changyao and said a few words nonchalantly: "This is the bandit boss who robbed us."
Xie Shizhu sat up suddenly.
Awesome, bro!
