He narrowed his eyes, terrified, and spoke anxiously: "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me here? What do you want to do?"
He couldn't hide his fear, and looked at the dark shadow in front of him, fearing that he would take his life.
Shao Lecheng did not play any tricks. He slowly turned around and looked at Jing Chengzhi.
He walked closer to him step by step. Jing Chengzhi watched nervously. When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Shao Lecheng, he stared at him with wide eyes: "Why is it you?"
Shao Lecheng squatted down in front of him and said, "Do you know that some people really don't want to be your enemy, but you just love to make enemies with them?"
Jing Chengzhi looked at him, not daring to get angry, and only asked doubtfully: "What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you, why do you want to kill me?"
Jing Chengzhi didn't say anything, obviously not wanting to answer.
He looked around. Apart from the occasional chirping of a nightingale and the gentle wind, there was only the sound. It was impossible for anyone to appear and save him.
Shao Lecheng smiled and said, "If someone kills someone in a place like this and buries you, do you think anyone has the ability to find you?"
Jing Chengzhi couldn't help but tremble. He looked at Shao Lecheng with a wary look and was also unwilling to accept it.
"I, I know you won't kill me, otherwise you would have done it long ago!"
"People's patience is limited. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will leave you here and you will starve to death!"
Since Shao Lecheng dared to do this, he would naturally not be sent away safely.
So he had no choice but to cooperate, otherwise his life would be in danger.
"Okay, I'll tell you, your assassination was all caused by my father!"
Shao Lecheng looked at him with disdain: "How can you say such a thing? Do you think I will believe it?"
Jing Chengzhi looked at Shao Lecheng in silence. Shao Lecheng could no longer bear it: "Tell the truth quickly. Were the people who assassinated me and the princess sent by you?"
He pulled out a dagger from his boot and put it against his neck. If he dared to lie again, Shao Lecheng would kill him.
Faced with Shao Lecheng's threats, Jing Chengzhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Finally, he honestly admitted: "It was me. I arranged it, but I had no choice. It was my mother who forced me to do it!"
"You forced me to kill you. I never intended to kill the princess. She threw herself at me!"
Jing Chengzhi wisely admitted his mistake. Shao Lecheng's eyes flashed with contempt. Finally, he said coldly, "You are really capable. On the one hand, you deceived the princess that it was the assassin sent by the emperor to kill her, and on the other hand, you did the most wicked thing!"
He looked at him with disappointment, then raised his voice and said, "Princess, come out!"
Jing Chengzhi was already scared to death. When he heard Shao Lecheng's words, he looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
Then I saw a woman slowly walking towards me from the bushes nearby, with her arms folded across her chest and a look of disappointment and anger on her face.
"I never thought, Prince, that what you said that day was so true, but it was all just a lie to deceive this princess!"
Jing Chengzhi's expression changed greatly. He never thought that Shao Lecheng actually called Duan Gouqiong as well, waiting for him to confess in person!
He glared, "Despicable!"
The two words came out of his mouth with excitement and anger.
Shao Lecheng looked at him sarcastically: "How can we be as despicable as you?"
Duan Gouqiong looked at Shao Lecheng a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, it turns out that it was me who was causing trouble. I almost made things difficult for you and hurt you."
Shao Lecheng said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Princess, please hand him over to the emperor."
As Shao Lecheng was about to leave, Duan Gouqiong immediately stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Shao Lecheng paused and said, "Of course, we're going back to the palace!"
"You brought me out of the post station, don't you have the responsibility to send me back?" Duan Gouqiong frowned and looked at his back.
Shao Lecheng said indifferently: "There is a carriage nearby."
Then he flew away without any intention of caring about Duan Gouqiong. Duan Gouqiong swallowed the sound of his shout.
Jing Chengzhi pleaded, "Princess, please let me go. I was forced to do so. I only wanted to hurt the prince, not you. Who knew you would rush over to me?"
Duan Gouqiong was feeling a little disappointed, but when she heard Jing Chengzhi's voice, she turned her head and looked at him. Duan Gouqiong had a cruel smile on his face.
"Prince, you deceived and exploited me back then. How do you want to settle this account?"
Jing Chengzhi swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't deceive or use the princess! Father really wanted to send someone to assassinate you!"
Duan Gouqiong slapped him across the face with a whistling slap: "Still quibbling!"
Duan Gouqiong's voice was sharp and contained a hint of disdain; it was obvious that she was angry.
Finally, she sneered and said, "Just stay here. It would be best if a wild beast appeared and ate you up without leaving a single bone behind!"
Then Duan Gouqiong snorted coldly and walked towards the carriage.
Jing Chengzhi was panicking, "Princess, Princess, don't go, please untie my rope!"
But Duan Gouqiong did not stop and walked away without looking back.
On the second day, the people in the Prince's Mansion were just wondering when Jing Chengzhi went out, but they did not guess that Jing Chengzhi had been kidnapped.
Duan Gouqiong and other people entered the palace after the emperor dismissed the court. The emperor felt a headache when he saw Duan Gouqiong.
"Your Majesty, this princess figured out something yesterday."
The emperor forced himself to show some interest: "What's the matter?"
"The assassin who killed me and the prince has now been identified, but I hope that Your Majesty will keep his promise and execute the murderer, no matter who he is..."
Duan Gouqiong could have solved the problem by himself if he was an ordinary person, but now Duan Gouqiong came to give him a hint, which meant that the person's identity was not someone Duan Gouqiong could kill just because he wanted to.
The emperor pursed his lips, looked at her, and asked, "Who?"
Duan Gouqiong didn't think of beating around the bush and responded honestly: "Prince!"
The emperor was not surprised at all by these two words. He just smiled softly and asked, "Princess, how can you be so sure?"
"Because he has confessed, this princess is certain it is him. Your Majesty, the son you raised outside is kind-hearted and knows how to work for the benefit of the people, but the son you raised by your side is so vicious and outrageous!"
Duan Gouqiong never considered who he was talking to, and spoke without caring whether the other person was the emperor or what the consequences of his words would be.
Duan Gouqiong thought the emperor would be angry, but he wasn't. He just laughed and said, "Princess, you are absolutely right. If the prince really did murder you, he is truly too cruel and outrageous! But I need evidence and witnesses to verify the truth of what you said!"
