Chapter 179 Xiao Qi's Marriage Partner
Xiao Qi frowned, "He said his name was Tuoba Jing, and he always follows me around. It's so annoying."
【Isn't this Xiaoqi's marriage partner? 】
"Ah, is that the Crown Prince of Sheng Kingdom? Xiao Qi died not long after being sent to marry a foreign prince!"
[The person Tuoba Jing first met was actually the heroine Chu Yinyin, but the heroine deliberately lied to Tuoba Jing and hinted that she was a princess of the Xia Dynasty. That's why Tuoba Jing later directly proposed marriage to the emperor.]
[Bitch, don’t get close to my Xiaoqi! ! ! ]
[How come Tuoba Jing appeared so quickly? ]
[Not really soon. I'm going to Daxia for sightseeing first, and then I'll write the marriage proposal letter after I return.]
Lin Zhaoyue's expression also turned a little colder.
"Why is he following you?"
Xiao Qi curled his lips, "Who knows, he must be sick. I don't think he is from the Great Xia Dynasty, but from a foreign country. Maybe he has some purpose in coming to the capital."
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyes, "So what do you think of him?"
Xiao Qi scratched his head: "That's all, not familiar."
"By the way, sister, I guess I'll have to go to the border soon. There's a trade route blocked there, and I have to go check it out." Xiao Qi reported his itinerary.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "Okay. Be careful."
The capital city will be in turmoil for a while, so it’s good that Xiaoqi left.
Xiao Qi stood up and walked around her, holding her arm and acting coquettishly, "With the expert my sister gave me, I will definitely be safe!"
Lin Zhaoyue also laughed.
A few days ago, she gave a group of experts under Mu Ying to Xiao Qi to protect her.
This group of masters came from the Green Forest, so they are most suitable to follow Xiao Qi.
Although Xiaoqi is smart and clever, she is a woman and it is easy for her to be targeted by some people when she is out and about.
Besides, Xiaoqi only has some basic kung fu skills, and if no one protects her, she might be in danger.
After sending Xiaoqi away.
Then she called Mu Ying.
"Princess."
A cold light flashed across Lin Zhaoyue's eyes: "Go to Taohua Lane in East Street and find a man named Tuoba Jing."
"First, arrest him and lock him up in the Criminal Department. No one is allowed to visit him."
Mu Ying was puzzled by this name she had never heard before, but quickly accepted the order: "Yes."
Lin Zhaoyue looked out the window, her expression slightly restrained.
Sheng State was a neighboring country of the Xia Dynasty. It is said that almost everyone in this country grew up on horseback.
He has a ferocious temperament and is wild and difficult to tame.
But this country's combat capability is terrifyingly strong.
Looking through the records in history books, in every major battle, the Sheng Kingdom’s cavalry always had the reputation of breaking through cities.
However, a few years ago, before Xiao Tingye returned to the court, he had a battle with the Sheng Kingdom's cavalry.
The Sheng Kingdom was forced to cede two cities and submit a peace agreement before a truce was reached.
But he was defeated.
Do you also want to marry her sister?
Now that he's here, it's just right to keep him as a hostage.
In charge of the criminal department.
Tuoba Jing banged on the cell door frantically.
"Why are you arresting me? Let me out!"
"Do you know who I am? How can you arrest me so casually?"
Xie Yu frowned and whispered to the prison warden, "Put him in a separate cell. If he makes any noise, he'll be beaten."
The jailer quickly bowed and said, "Yes, sir."
Shortly after Xiao Qi left, Xiao Tingye also left the capital temporarily to take over the cities and armies of Xiling.
And Lu Chenzhou also came to the Criminal Department again.
Originally, Concubine Chun should have been sent back to Xiling by the court, but Lu Chenzhou was in Beijing and was a relative of Concubine Chun.
This time, the emperor showed special grace and allowed Concubine Chun and Crown Prince Lu Chenzhou to spend a few days together before leaving.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Lu Chenzhou to come to pick someone up on the day Concubine Chun was released today.
Seeing Lu Chenzhou, Concubine Chun also became excited.
"Zhou'er!"
At this time, Concubine Chun's hair was messy and she exuded a foul odor all over her body.
She looked like a crazy woman.
Lu Chenzhou looked at her calmly, "They say that prisoners who enter the Criminal Department will become crazy when they get out. Aunt, you already look like a madman before you even get out."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Concubine Chun's face, and she adjusted her hair hastily.
"This Punishment Department is not a place for human beings to stay." She said in a trembling voice: "Lin Zhaoyue is a devil, a demon..."
"Azhou, I heard I can go out now, right? Are you here to pick me up?"
Lu Chenzhou said calmly, "I'm here to pick up my aunt, but she doesn't look very well right now. I brought her some medicine that might help her recover. After you take it, I'll take you away."
As he spoke, Lu Chenzhou had already taken out a pill from his sleeve.
"Auntie, eat it."
Concubine Chun didn't suspect anything. She took the pill and put it into her mouth, chuckling: "You are thoughtful. You know that my aunt loves beauty the most."
As Lu Chenzhou watched Concubine Chun swallow the pill, his eyes dimmed slightly.
"I'm sorry, auntie. You took poison. You will die in half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Chun's face changed, but she still refused to believe it. "You are lying to me, right? Zhou'er?"
【? ? Isn't this you, the male lead?】
【You killed your aunt? 】
【I just said that the male protagonist’s eyes are not right】
[What's going on? Why did the hero want to kill Concubine Chun?]
[Is this what the male protagonist has been planning recently? ]
Lu Chenzhou said calmly, "Of course I wouldn't kill you. Therefore, the person who killed you was someone from the imperial court. And you, who should have returned to Xiling unharmed, were secretly murdered in prison. The imperial court broke its promise, and the people of Xiling are furious. My father is even holding the imperial court accountable for this matter."
"Our Lu family will regain control because of my aunt's death."
"This incident will also become a thorn in the hearts of the people of Xiling—"
He paused slightly, "Aunt, do you think this is reasonable?"
Having said that, Concubine Chun also understood.
She seemed to have suffered a huge blow and took a step back with a dazed look in her eyes.
“You…you guys…”
In the end, she just let out a bitter laugh, "For so long, I have always believed that my brother and my nephew would definitely rescue me. In vain..."
She looked at Lu Chenzhou in despair, her expression becoming completely insane. "Why... are you so heartless? Why do I have to die? I would rather be killed by Lin Zhaoyue!!"
Lu Chenzhou now looked at her as if she were an ant.
"Aunt, if you're going to blame someone, you should blame yourself because you've lost your worth. If you were still in the palace as Consort Chun, you could still be alive until the end... but you're no longer."
"You shouldn't have wanted to kill her." Lu Chenzhou's voice grew darker. "You knew how much I loved her, yet you insisted on her death. If the fact that you killed her hadn't been used as a fuss, perhaps all this wouldn't have developed to this point... If you want to blame anyone, you only have yourself to blame."
"Love?" Concubine Chun seemed to have heard some huge joke. "If you really loved her, you wouldn't have found a substitute like Chu Yinyin!"
