If he had known Ye Zhen was such a madwoman, he would never have gotten involved with her, but it was too late.
Ye Zhen harbored a lot of resentment and continued to mutter, "I was harmed by the Ye family and am barely surviving. I was already miserable, and you made things even worse for me."
The Crown Prince's life has been far more difficult than yours. He is where he is today entirely because of his own hard work. What right do you have to be jealous of him and hurt me?
Splat!
With a forceful movement, one of the Cloud King's hands was chopped off.
King Yun fainted from the pain.
Before he fainted, he thought that if he could speak, he would definitely tell Ye Zhen that even if he really treated her that way in his past life.
She was also implicated by the Crown Prince.
She should hate the Crown Prince, not him.
Even in death, he wanted them to have a rift for the rest of their lives, and for the Crown Prince to never be able to have a happy ending with his beloved.
Ye Zhen took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into Yun Wang's mouth, saying, "You're getting a good deal."
This is what she told Xie Tingzhou: one day she would repay him in kind and cut off Yun Wang's limbs.
Xie Tingzhou then gave her this pill, which could keep a person alive and make them feel pain.
Yun Wang slowly awoke, his face already wet with sweat. The acupoints that had been sealed had been broken open due to the extreme pain.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me."
Ye Zhen remained unmoved.
Keep sharpening your knives.
"I've remembered this pain for two lifetimes, so I can't expect you to forget it so quickly."
Only by making your enemy suffer the same pain you feel can you truly let go of this resentment.
Prince Yun moved back in fear. "Ye Zhen, I never intended to harm you. It was the Crown Prince who couldn't tolerate me, so I took revenge on him."
He's the one who dragged you down. He knew he was in a bad situation, yet he still liked you. He's the one who harmed you...
"So noisy!"
Ye Zhen used his left hand to hold the bone-chopping knife down and his right hand to quickly sever the king's tongue with a dagger.
"You're truly wicked, still trying to sow discord between us even at this point. Now it seems I was too merciful..."
Outside the door.
Shi Yan stood with his hands behind his back.
He could hear the commotion inside clearly, and his heart ached terribly, but he didn't go in. He wanted his daughter to take revenge herself.
And he stood there, protecting her.
On the ground lay the servants of the Prince Yun's mansion, all of whom had died at the hands of Shi Yan.
The emperor and empress still favored their son. Even though they demoted him to a prince and imprisoned him, they kept all his former servants in the mansion.
Especially those guarding outside this courtyard were all Yun Wang's confidants, and they all knew that today Yun Wang would covet Ye Zhen and bring him to his doom.
In Shi Yan's view, none of them were innocent.
Not far from the corpse, a pure white fox was tied up.
It was true that she wanted to lower Li Heng's guard, and it was also true that she wanted to hunt a white fox for her daughter, because her daughter had mentioned to him once that Xie Tingzhou had once kept a fox, and she wanted to keep one too.
He then instructed Shi Wuxia to keep an eye out beforehand, so not long after, he caught the white fox and rushed back. Although he asked Yin Jiuniang to protect Ye Zhen, he was still worried.
Now, standing outside the door and hearing his daughter's words, he felt an overwhelming urge to destroy the world.
Meanwhile, in the woodshed on the other side.
Yin Jiuniang, expressionless, plunged her sword into Zhenluo's leg, the wound being in the exact same spot as the one Yun Wang had suffered.
Huo Zhan stood to the side, his long sword pointed at his throat. If he made a sound, the sword would pierce his throat.
Just now, he and Yin Jiuniang subdued Zhenluo without alerting the Imperial Guards outside.
Zhenluo hid in the woodshed, originally intending to kill Ye Zhen after Yun Wang succeeded.
But to his utter surprise, not long after he entered, Yin Jiuniang and Huo Zhan followed him in.
"Are you putting on an act?"
Did they already know about their master's plot?
Yin Jiuniang sneered, "Go ask Prince Yun after you die."
This scoundrel has committed countless sins with Li Heng; Yama will settle accounts with him after he dies, so she's too lazy to waste her breath on him.
After crippling his legs, Yin Jiuniang stabbed him in the abdomen several times to render him powerless so he could escape.
Then you have to lift his belt.
Huo Zhan stopped him, saying, "I'll do it."
The two brought Zhenluo to the outside of King Yun's room.
Shi Yan glanced at Zhen Luo, then suddenly channeled his inner strength and struck him with a palm strike, causing Zhen Luo, who had fainted from the pain, to wake up again.
Inside the house, Ye Zhen heard the commotion outside and knew that her master had brought people over, so she opened the door and came out.
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood hit the door.
Huo Zhan carried the poisoned snake in. Even though he had spent half his life on the battlefield and had seen countless gruesome deaths, he was still shocked by what he saw.
The Cloud King was shattered.
Very finely broken pieces.
He held his breath and threw the poisoned snake onto the King of Clouds' bed. He heard Yin Jiuniang outside say, "Shi Yan, you should go find Zhen'er now, and then find the Dark Abode. I'll deal with the dismembered body inside."
"I'll do it."
Huo Zhan hurriedly stopped him, suppressing his urge to vomit, and found a bed sheet to wrap the remains.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Ye Zhen is really something else.
Judging from what Jiu Niang said, she clearly knew what Ye Zhen was going to do to the Prince of Yun and fully supported it.
He became increasingly convinced that Yin Jiuniang truly loved him; otherwise, she would have destroyed him long ago to avenge Ye Jinghong.
Yin Jiuniang was unaware of Huo Zhan's own imagination. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the bloodstains off Ye Zhen's hands.
When Huo Zhan came out, Shi Yan had not left. He took the blood-stained cloth bag from Huo Zhan's hand and said to Ye Zhen, "Father, throw it into the mountains to feed the wolves."
"good."
Ye Zhen nodded. After Shi Yan left, she returned to the house, sprinkled a lot of fire-starting powder inside, and called over her people, "Light this up after an incense stick has burned."
She was about to escape to the palace to accuse Prince Yun of kidnapping her before the Emperor and Empress. Fortunately, she had the antidote that Xie Tingzhou had mentioned, and she managed to wake up in time.
When Zhenluo was burned to a crisp, the emperor and empress would never know that the person in the bed was not Prince Yun, nor would they know that the real Prince Yun had died without a complete corpse.
However, Zhenluo's struggle before her death would convince the Empress that after she woke up, she killed Yun Wang's confidant but spared Yun Wang's life for the Empress to deal with.
Li Heng was waiting for news of Zhenluo. As long as Zhenluo did not return and the Yunwang Mansion caught fire, Li Heng would send someone to investigate, thus giving the Yunwang Mansion a scapegoat for the fire.
"Master, you should leave as soon as possible too."
The Prince of Yun is dead, now it's Li Heng's turn...
