Chapter 77 Justice
Zou Heng stretched out his palm, gently placed it on the oil lamp in front of him, and poured his own mana into it. This was already the eighth time he had poured mana into it.
Under the soft and peaceful light, the whole room was very quiet, and the people in the room had not changed much from last night.
Zou Heng turned his head and glanced outside the door. The sky was gradually getting brighter. The night was about to pass. He looked back at King Ni on the side. He still held the princess in his arms and kept this posture all night, and his eyes
I kept my eyes open all night without closing my eyes at all.
Under the extreme sadness, Zou Heng estimated that Niwang was very blocked in his heart, so it was impossible for him to sleep. He could only stay in this state for one night.
The little Highness in Zou Heng's arms also slept in his arms all night. He was very uneasy in his sleep and his body was shaking several times. Fortunately, he was in this room and had the oil lamp to soothe his nerves.
The effect would prevent him from waking up from his nightmare.
To be honest, Zou Heng felt a little pity for the little Highness in his arms. He had already experienced a lot of hardships at a young age. His timid character before was enough to show that he had not lived a very good life before, and now he has lost the ability to
The mother he relies on will leave permanent wounds in his heart that will be difficult to repair.
Time passed slowly, and the sky outside became brighter and brighter. After Zou Heng's mana in the oil lamp was exhausted again, he did not inject any more mana into it, but put it away and stood up.
He walked to Niou's side and spoke slowly.
"Your Highness, it's daybreak. Get up and have something to eat. You can't fall down at this time!"
After Zou Heng said these words, King Ni who was lying there finally had a little reaction. His head slowly turned over and his eyes turned to Zou Heng. After a while, he moved his lips slightly.
, said in a very hoarse voice.
"At dawn, she has really left me!"
His voice was hoarse and dry at this time, and his voice was extremely small. If you didn't listen carefully, you might not be able to hear what he was saying.
Not only his voice, but his appearance also changed a lot. In just one night, a layer of beard appeared on his chin, occupying half of his face around his chin, making him look extremely...
haggard.
The previous crying, coupled with the lack of water all night, and the extremely painful sadness, made his voice sound like this at the moment. This voice, coupled with his appearance at the moment, also made Zou Heng somewhat silent.
Zou Heng originally wanted to say more words of comfort, but at this time he couldn't say anything anymore. He could only stand there and look at King Ni. After reacting, King Ni gradually looked at His Highness Zou Heng in his arms.
There was finally a sparkle in his eyes.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at the body of the princess who was becoming colder and quieter next to him. The look in his eyes turned into raging anger, and he struggled to sit up, seeming to be speaking to Zou Heng.
, and seemed to be mumbling to himself.
"Yes, it's daybreak. It's time for me to cheer up. My princess has left me, but I can't let her death be in vain. I want to seek justice for my princess in Chen Guogong's Mansion!"
After saying this, King Ren stumbled to his feet, and finally stood up straight, and then said to Zou Heng: "Excuse me, Master, to help me take care of Yu'er and the princess. I am going to seek justice for the princess!
"
After saying that, Nioh walked directly towards the door, and the expression on his face became ferocious.
As he continued to move forward, his steps started to stumble, then gradually became steady, and his pace became faster and faster.
When Zou Heng saw this scene, he had no intention of stopping him in the first place, and now he would not stop him. He just quickly found Zhang Xiaonian and asked him to follow Niwang. In addition to ensuring his safety
, you don’t have to interfere in other things, let Niou do everything by himself.
Whether it is as a husband or a father, Nioh is definitely going to take this life now. Although in the long run, it will be a relatively safer choice at this time, the emotions that are held in his heart need a fierce venting.
If the King of Ni can endure it at this time and think about it slowly and in the long term, then his character is really terrible.
King Ni went out, and Zou Heng took care of His Highness, waking him up, letting him eat a little bit, and then used some means to make him fall asleep.
After that, Zou Heng began to arrange people and prepare for the princess's funeral. No matter what, the person was dead, and the things that should be prepared still had to be prepared.
Although there is no such thing as reincarnation in this world, the aftermath after death still needs to be taken care of. On the one hand, the living send the deceased on their last journey, and on the other hand, they hope to eliminate all the grievances and concerns of the deceased so that they will not be left behind.
As for becoming evil.
No one in the mansion can go out today, so there are not many things that can be prepared. We can only start preparing the things that are already in the mansion.
While working, the servants in the mansion were all in a very wrong state. They looked very negative and lifeless. Some even had sad faces, and even wiped away tears while working.
They are not sad for the princess, they are sad for themselves.
The princess is dead. Yesterday's King Ni's performance has let them know how deep the relationship between the princess and King Ni is. Although the reason for the death of the princess has nothing to do with them, if they investigate it carefully, the steward
If they can't escape, they may also be implicated.
Zou Heng understood the mentality of these servants. He did not comfort these servants. He just led them to slowly complete various preparations. During this period, Old Man Liu helped and quickly prepared everything that could be prepared.
After everything was ready, Zou Heng and Old Liu sat together. Old Liu, who had already washed himself, spoke to Zou Heng.
"His Majesty Niou should go to the palace today, right?"
"Yeah!" Zou Heng heard this and just nodded slightly.
"He wants to seek justice for the princess, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Nine times out of ten, he will return in vain. After all, the other party is Chen Guogong's Mansion. If King Ren returns to the country for a few years and has his own team, he may be able to
He has sought justice, but now he still lacks some weight!" Old Man Liu said while shaking his head gently, as if he was sighing in his heart.
In fact, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. In order to survive, he had to endure all the hardships and devoted himself to the king's command. However, on the first day after leaving the prison, he unexpectedly encountered such a thing.
Although he had nothing to do with the death of the princess, in the future, every time Nioh saw him, he would probably think of the dead princess, so he probably would not be particularly important under Nioh.
"It's indeed a bit lacking, but he has to do this!" Zou Heng didn't know what Old Man Liu was thinking now, so he just nodded and replied.
As Old Man Liu said, Zou Heng didn't think King Ni could seek justice. He had just returned to the royal capital and was too weak. This was not the first time that Zou Heng of Chen Guogong Palace had heard that King Ni was still on the way.
At that time, they were among the people who attacked and killed King Ni, so naturally they would not seek justice so easily.
After all, Chen Guogong's palace also has a concubine who is now the king, and she is pregnant. The death of the princess was suicide, not by the other party's own hands. Even if the current king of Yu wants to uphold justice, the final result may not be possible.
Satisfy the king.
These things can be understood with a little thought.
When the time was approaching night, King Ni and Zhang Xiaonian finally returned to the mansion. When they entered the door, Zou Heng saw that King Ni's eyes were dull, his clothes were a little embarrassed, and he seemed to have lost his soul.
Saying hello to anyone, he walked step by step to the princess's body, then slowly leaned down and hugged her.
Zou Heng glanced at Zhang Xiaonian who was standing aside, and cast a questioning look at him. Zhang Xiaonian took a deep breath, with a hint of anger on his face, and then spoke.
"His Royal Highness Ren Wang went to the palace today, met with the king, and explained everything. After that, the king asked Chen Le from Chen Guogong's mansion to come to the palace and ask him about the cause and effect."
"In front of the king, that Chen Le actually spoke so harshly. The king, well, I don't even want to say it anymore. In short, the king didn't help His Highness the King!"
As Zhang Xiaonian spoke, he seemed to become even more angry. Before he could say a few words, his face turned into an angry look, and he was unwilling to continue talking at all.
Zou Heng could roughly guess what he didn't say. Just like his conversation with Old Man Liu, it was doomed to be impossible for King Ren to ask the king to help him, even if they were father and son.
Zou Heng looked at Niou from the spot. He originally thought that Niou, who had been hit again, would hold the princess's body and live quietly for a long time, maybe all night, but not long after, Niou
There was a little reaction.
"Princess, please excuse me for the funeral. Master, please help me prepare it!"
Nioh didn't raise his head, but his voice rang out. It was very quiet and hoarse than before. Each word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with great difficulty, and the listener even felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, preparations have already begun!" Zou Heng replied softly.
After he said this, Nioh unexpectedly nodded in response to him, and then Nioh continued to speak in a hoarse voice.
Chapter completed!
