Chapter 72 Plea
"True Word Water? How do you know about this thing? It's something my aunt spent a lot of effort to make. How do you know about it?" Xiao Yuanzhao looked at the two people in front of him warily.
Her aunt was deeply in love with a man, but while the man said he loved her, it seemed like there was someone else living in his heart. Her aunt was too obsessed and wanted to know who the man loved in his heart, so she spent half her life making the water of truth.
But the news leaked out from somewhere, and before he could feed the man the true words water, he committed suicide.
He never let his aunt know who he loved until his death.
"Why do you care how I know?" Yan Hong said with a smile, "All you need to know is to get this thing for me, and I won't let you die."
Xiao Yuanzhao was annoyed by his domineering attitude. "Do you think the True Word Water is something easy to get?"
"My aunt went to so much trouble and only made one bottle! If that man hadn't died, there wouldn't be any bottle at all!" Xiao Yuanzhao said angrily.
Chen Chuo beside him said slowly: "Don't you have a bottle? Why don't you get it for us?"
"I can't get it!" Xiao Yuanzhao had never suffered such a humiliating anger one after another!
Shen Chuo kicked him on the leg again, "Find out where you are now!"
He wore a mask and looked ferocious, and he kicked people without hesitation.
Yan Hong next to him sang with a red face, "Don't scare my brother."
His gaze was so strange that it was hard to tell. "I think people should cherish their lives."
Yan Hong's smile deepened. "I was abandoned by your mother in a foreign country when I was little. I was beaten up by a crowd, abducted by human traffickers, and went hungry every day. I was also regarded as an alien demon because of these eyes. Do you know how I have been through all these years?"
His tone was light, but Xiao Yuanzhao could clearly feel his hatred and murderous intent.
He was very angry and had murderous intentions towards himself.
"But I still cherish my life. I have lived until today." Yan Hong touched his heterochromia. "Look, I am so kind. We were born of the same mother, and you are so much happier than me, but I didn't kill you."
"If I were you, I would cherish my life and agree to the conditions."
"This way you can still see your mother."
As Yan Hong spoke, Shen Chuo took out a dagger and moved it around his body.
Xiao Yuanzhao really couldn't stand these two terrible people, each one was more murderous than the other.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, I will get the water of truth for you. I will definitely get it for you." Xiao Yuanzhao trembled. He really valued his life.
Yan Hong and Shen Chuo released Xiao Yuanzhao. Yan Hong had poisoned him, and Xiao Yuanzhao's life was in his hands. They were not afraid of his tricks.
Shen Chuo was in a very cheerful mood.
Soon, Your Highness will no longer have to deal with those people.
The good prince would also notice him, and he would no longer have to look at those people's happiness without showing even the slightest abnormality.
Shen Chuo glanced at the sky and took a deep breath.
The world is still beautiful, and the days are getting more hopeful.

The day of the marriage was getting closer and closer. Concubine De cried and pleaded with the emperor in the imperial study every day, but the emperor refused to summon her.
Defei has only one daughter, Ling Yao, and she dotes on her in every way. She never expected that her daughter would suffer such a misfortune. Defei has already lost face and brought Ling Yao to Ling Qingyan's Yaohua Palace for help.
Ling Qingyan naturally couldn't let Concubine De turn her away and let people gossip about her, so she asked someone to serve tea, and Pei Wuyou stood beside her.
"Tang Ning, Your Highness Tang Ning, all the mistakes are my fault. It's me who didn't teach Ling Yao well. I've let her go in so many ways over the years. I beg you, please let her go. Please help me plead with His Majesty. His Majesty loves your mother so much, your plea will definitely help!"
At this moment, Concubine De no longer cared about her own demeanor and dignity. She only had this one daughter and just wanted her to stay by her side.
Ling Yao sat aside, watching her mother begging this lowly bloodline in such a humble manner. She felt ashamed and her hatred for Ling Qingyan grew even stronger. She twisted her handkerchief and lowered her head to avoid watching the scene.
I didn't stop my mother because I thought Ling Qingyan might soften her heart and agree to her request.
After all, she really didn't want to leave the country. As long as she could survive this disaster, everything would be fine.
Before Ling Qingyan could speak, Pei Wuyou at the side spoke first. He was secretly playing with his sister's hair behind her. He glanced at the mother and daughter and said with a smile, "How can Your Highness Tang Ning beg for mercy? The Sixth Princess bullied Your Highness so much before. It's good enough that Your Highness didn't add insult to injury. How dare you expect Your Highness to repay her kindness?"
"Your Highness is a human being, not a living Buddha." Pei Wuyou said lightly.
"You!" Concubine De's eyes seemed to be spitting fire as she looked at Pei Wuyou resentfully, "I didn't know that Pei Zhizi can now make decisions for Princess Tangning!"
Concubine De's aura was not weak, but Pei Wuyou obviously didn't care and continued to speak: "Don't you know what dirty and filthy things your daughter has done, Concubine De?"
"I'm really curious, Sixth Princess. Your mother doesn't know what you did, but you yourself don't know it either? How you harmed me, how you made our prince go to that side garden and try to ruin your reputation. Have you forgotten everything?"
"How dare you ask your mother to go to His Highness and plead for mercy on your behalf?"
Pei Wuyou was determined to draw Concubine De's anger towards himself today, so that she would not use any tricks against her sister in the future.
Ling Yao looked at Pei Wuyou and Ling Qingyan with resentment, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you criticize me?"
"Shut up! Ling Yao!" Concubine De gave Ling Yao a look. Her face turned ashen, but she still looked at Ling Qingyan without giving up.
"Is it possible that His Highness Tangning will use the same tactics against Ayao just because of her mischievous behavior?"
"Ayao hasn't caused you any real harm, has she? Why are you so cruel and using such despicable means? Ayao has already lost her innocence because of you. Even if Tang Ning wants to vent her anger, she has already been punished. Why do you still want her to go so far away to marry?"
"I'm alone in a foreign country, why are you so cruel?" Defei's lips were trembling.
How could she treat her own daughter like this!
Pei Wuyou was so angry that he laughed. Just as he was about to say something else, he was stopped by Ling Qingyan.
Ling Qingyan glanced at Ling Yao, then looked at Concubine De, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled: "Concubine De, you are so hypocritical."
"As Ling Yao said, I am just a princess in name only, without any royal blood. How could I possibly plot to marry your precious daughter to the prince of Liguo?"
"You're not a person without means. If you want to know who harmed Ling Yao, wouldn't you be able to find out? Wouldn't you be able to figure it out?"
"You figured out what happened and who was targeting your daughter, but you didn't dare to go find that person." Ling Qingyan adjusted her hair bun and her smile deepened.
"You only pick on the weak. You don't dare to go after my brother, but you come to me and cause trouble for me."
"Just like I am clearly saying the words 'Royal Brother' now, do you dare? Do you dare to confront me in the Eastern Palace? Are you right?" The girl's voice became higher and higher, and every word hit the hearts of those present.
