Chapter 284 He needs to find a man for Wen Xingluo
Xie Mingrui burst into tears and shouted frantically, "Where is Wen Xing?! I want to kill her! I will kill her tonight! I want her to be buried with Zhiqiu, and I want the Zhenbei Palace to be buried with Zhiqiu!"
Wen Xingluo slowly pulled out the sword hidden behind him.
She looked at Xie Mingrui, "Wen Xingluo is right in front of you."
Xie Mingrui was stunned.
"Oh, that's not right." The long sword flashed with a cold light, illuminating Wen Xingluo's round almond-shaped eyes. "I have changed my name to Wei Ning now."
Dark clouds covered the moon and a strong wind suddenly arose.
In Xie Mingrui's eyes, which suddenly widened in disbelief, the girl was like a light petal, with her tender pink gauze skirt lifted high and the sword in her hand whistling towards her!
At the critical moment, Xie Mingrui stretched out his hand to block in fear.
He has learned martial arts.
However, Wen Xingluo's swordsmanship was so dangerous, and her bizarre and difficult-to-identify sword moves made it difficult for him to defend himself. When he finally remembered to run away, the girl's sword had already pierced his throat neatly.
Wen Xingluo drew his sword.
Xie Mingrui covered his neck and staggered to the ground.
The moonlight in the woods is quiet.
He looked at Wen Xingluo in astonishment, opened his mouth to say something, but blood rushed out of his mouth.
Wen Xingluo sheathed his sword. "I am deeply touched by your affection for Miss Mu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but since you are determined to fight to the death with the Zhenbei Palace, I have no choice but to strike first. If only one of us can survive, I hope it will be me."
Fearing that Xie Mingrui was not dead yet, she stabbed him several times deeper into his heart before stopping.
After doing all this, she took off her blood-stained palace skirt, folded it carefully and put it in her arms.
When walking back in the night, I unexpectedly saw Wen Yueyin and several young ladies having fun around the campfire.
Wen Xingluo secretly clutched the palace skirt in her arms.
She thought Wen Yueyin and Pei Lin were plotting to kill someone, but she didn't expect that she was with someone else.
In this way, Wen Yueyin had an alibi, and she could no longer frame her for Xie Mingrui's death.
Thinking of the little palace maid who had met her, Wen Xingluo went straight to find Pei Lin.
She handed the blood-stained palace skirt to Pei Lin and briefly recounted what had happened. Finally, she said, "Isn't Eunuch Pei the best at tampering with memories? Please find that little palace maid and clean up the mess for me."
Pei Lin's expression was grim, as if he was meeting Wen Xingluo for the first time. "You killed Xie Mingrui?!"
"Is it not possible?"
Pei Lin stared at her face.
The girl is so soft, delicate and beautiful that it is hard to associate her with the act of murder.
He barely digested this information, looking coldly at the blood-stained robe in his arms, "The princess refuses to join us, yet wants me to serve you... There's no such good thing in the world."
"What good would it do you if I died?" Wen Xingluo asked, "Eunuch Pei, don't forget that I, Wei Ning, am the only one who can continue the bloodline of the Wei royal family."
Pei Lin watched her go away, with an extremely ugly expression in his eyes.
He said hoarsely, "The road to national restoration does not require a leader who is a traitor."
It seems that he needs to find a man for Wen Xingluo.
Once she gives birth to the child, she will be of no use anymore.
Just when Pei Lin was forced to clean up the mess for Wen Xingluo, on the other side.
The big tent was filled with the smell of blood.
Xie Xuchi was kneeling on the ground with his upper body naked, with whip marks on his back.
He lowered his head, and cold sweat dripped down his chin to the ground. Because of the pain, his whole body was like a taut bowstring.
Xie Zhe held a whip in his hand, his gaze scraping across Xie Xuchi's skin inch by inch as if scraping bones. "For the sake of Xie Yanchen, you let Xie Guanlan go without authorization... I didn't know that my prince was so gentle, humble, and loyal!"
Xie Xuchi trembled all over, closed his eyes and said nothing.
The candlelight flickered, and Xie Zhe's face was filled with gloom. He suddenly raised his whip and lashed at Xie Xuchi again, "You are so incompetent, should I consider deposing the Crown Prince?!"
He has great strength.
Gradually, there was almost no intact skin or flesh on Xie Xuchi's back.
He groaned and fell to the ground, his fingers digging deeply into the Persian carpet. He raised his eyelids with difficulty and looked at the candlelight not far away with bloodshot eyes.
The golden candlelight could not illuminate his pupils.
He suddenly whispered, "From the very beginning, you never thought of letting your son inherit your position."
The mosquito-like sound was completely drowned out by the sound of the whip hitting flesh.
With a "snap", Xie Zhe broke the whip in his hand.
He said impatiently: "What did you say?!"
Xie Xuchi did not answer.
He slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down silently from the corners of his eyes.
"You piece of trash—"
Xie Zhe kicked him hard and was about to take another horsewhip from the wall when he paused. He glanced at the young man lying on the ground covered in blood and suddenly sneered, "Go call Concubine Chen over!"
Sun Zuosi went to invite Wei Si in person, but when he arrived at the tent, he found that Wei Si was not there.
He quickly mobilized the young eunuchs to look for her, but after searching the entire camp, they could not find any trace of Wei Si.
Sun Zuosi returned, sweating profusely, to report, "Your Majesty, the Empress Chen is missing!"
Xie Zhe took a deep breath.
He said in a deep voice, "How could he be missing?!"
"I don't know!" Sun Zuosi knelt on the ground. "The maidservant who serves the Majesty said that the Majesty went to see Lord He half an hour ago and has not returned since then!"
"He Weizhou?!" Xie Zhe was irritated by the series of setbacks. "Go call He Weizhou over!"
However, He Weizhou was also missing.
The commotion here alarmed Empress Mei, Concubine Zhang and others, and a lot of people rushed into the tent in a short time.
When Wen Xingluo came over, he saw that the tent was in chaos. Xie Xuchi was seriously injured for some reason. Concubine Zhang was crying and hugging him, calling him "Prince" over and over again.
Xie Guanlan also came over.
Wen Xingluo whispered, "Where's fourth brother?"
"He's already asleep. I didn't call him." He moved sideways in front of the girl, preventing her from looking at Xie Xuchi. "Where did Madam Wei go?"
Wen Xingluo clenched her handkerchief, "I don't know either..."
As they were speaking, Empress Mei suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Lord He and Concubine Chen have both disappeared. I believe this is a serious matter and we must send someone to search the mountain as soon as possible."
Xie Zhe sat at the head of the table, stroking the rhino horn in his hand. "Didn't I send people to search the mountain? Do I need you to be so nosy?"
Empress Mei's face turned pale.
Just at this moment, the commander of the Royal Guards hurried in.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have found Prime Minister He and Empress Chenfei! In addition..."
He looked at Concubine Zhang, thought of Xie Mingrui's body in the woods, and was hesitant to speak.
Concubine Zhang didn't notice his abnormality and excitedly let go of Xie Xuchi. She stood up and pointed at Wei Si, who was being supported by a palace maid, and cursed, "You are so good, Wei Si! You and Prime Minister He have had some unclear things since you were young. You must have been secretly giving each other a gift tonight!"
She turned around and knelt before Xie Zhe, impatiently saying, "Your Majesty, Wei Si is having an affair. You should banish her to the cold palace!"
