Xiao Yao was pinched by the neck and couldn't breathe. He had been drinking, but now he couldn't breathe, and his whole face turned the color of pig liver.
He stretched out his hand and slapped Lou Yan's hand, but Lou Yan's hands were like iron pliers, no matter how hard he slapped them, they wouldn't move.
Xiao Yao is not a weak person, but when facing Lou Yan, he still seems very powerless.
Lou Yan already had some skills, but after two years of hard training in southern Xinjiang, his skills were no longer what they used to be.
Lou Yan looked at his face, loosened his fingers a little, and warned in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if you target me, as long as I'm not dead, I can fight with you. But if you involve Zhen Zhen, then don't
Blame me for being unscrupulous."
After saying that, he completely let go and threw the person out.
Xiao Yao bumped into a pillar and felt dizzy for a while. Then he started coughing crazily until he vomited.
He squatted on the ground and took a long time to catch his breath.
Xiao Yao slowly stood up from the ground, looked up at Lou Yan, and actually had the mood to smile.
"Third brother, don't worry. Third sister-in-law and I are friends after all. Considering our past friendship, I won't touch her. You don't have to be so nervous."
After saying this, the smile on Xiao Yao's face suddenly spread. He stared into Lou Yan's eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Third Brother, you are so deeply in love with Third Sister-in-law..."
Lou Yan's face completely darkened: "Do you want to die?"
Xiao Yao waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't think so, third brother, please spare me. I'll leave now and won't be in your eyes."
After saying that, he turned around neatly and walked out, as if he was afraid that Lou Yan would regret it.
After leaving the gate of the palace, the smile on Xiao Yao's face disappeared instantly.
He raised his hand and touched his neck, and there must have been a circle of marks there.
He, the third brother, is really brave. He is not afraid that his father will ask tomorrow about leaving marks on his neck so blatantly.
However, this also proves how confident this person is.
The subordinate came up to help him, and when he saw the wound on his neck, his face changed with fright: "Your Highness, the wound on your neck..."
"It's okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "It's a small injury, don't make a fuss about it."
The subordinate had an ugly expression on his face: "The prince did this? He went too far. Was he here to kill you?"
Xiao Yao smiled and said nonchalantly: "Stop making a fuss, it's nothing. Besides, if someone dares to take action, are they still afraid of you making a fuss? He is no longer what he used to be. He has an army of millions in his hands, no matter who he is.
If you want to touch him, you have to think carefully. What's more, my father trusts him, which is the most important thing."
Before he came back, he was thinking that since his father asked him to come back, it would be impossible for him to give the position of prince to Lou Yan. He guessed that his father was somewhat wary of Lou Yan.
But after he came back, he saw clearly that the emperor was indeed wary of Lou Yan, but he was more trusting.
This is quite rare for the emperor.
He can actually trust someone.
This also shows how difficult Lou Yan is to deal with.
The subordinate was still a little unwilling, but looking at Xiao Yao's face, he didn't dare to say anything more. He just whispered: "Send His Highness back, let the doctor come and take a look."
"Don't go back yet," Xiao Yao got on the carriage and said softly, "Go to the graveyard."
The subordinate thought he heard wrongly and his eyes widened: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
"Grave massacre, do you hear me clearly?"
"..."
The subordinate looked at the sky and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you are going to the graveyard in the middle of the night..."
"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Yao sneered and said, "Don't worry, even if there are ghosts and ghosts, it's me who is looking for them, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"This is not what I meant."
The man didn't dare to say anything and drove his carriage directly to the graveyard outside the city.
In the middle of the night, you can feel the eerie and terrifying nature of this place from a distance. Looking from a distance, there are two or three ghost fires, which frightened the subordinates so much that they didn't dare to look in that direction.
Take another look.
Xiao Yao got off the carriage, picked up a jar of wine from the carriage, and walked toward the graveyard.
As soon as he entered, he was froze in place by the dense mounds of dirt inside.
This large area is full of little bandits. Some of them have a wooden board stuck on them and their names are simply written on them. Others are just a bare mound of soil with no name and nothing. If you look further away, you can even see
In some wilderness areas where corpses are exposed, there are not even mounds of soil.
Xiao Yao stood there, looking at the small mound of dirt that could not be seen, and despair gradually rose in his heart.
He took a few steps forward and glanced back and forth several times, but didn't see what he wanted to see.
In the end, he gave up.
Xiao Yao stood there for a while and then said softly: "I'm sorry, I can't even find you."
He picked up the wine jar, took a sip himself, and then sprinkled the rest on the ground.
"You said, you don't regret it, you are willing..." Xiao Yao's voice was a little hoarse, and his voice was very soft, "But I regret it."
"If I didn't save you on the street that day, then at least you are still alive and well, instead of like today, with no place to go and no soul to rely on."
"Hongxue, don't meet me again in your next life."
He stood silently at the mass grave for half an hour, then turned around and returned to the carriage.
When the subordinate saw him coming back, he quickly opened the car door and let him get in. He was secretly glad that he was back. He was afraid that the four princes would never get out after entering this mass grave.
———
Qin Zhen found out on the next day that Xiao Yao went to the random graveyard in the middle of the night.
After she heard about it, she just smiled indifferently and said softly: "Hongxue's life was only exchanged for his bottle of wine in the end."
However, if Hongxue really knew something, then she must have been extremely happy to receive Xiao Yao's half bottle of wine.
"He still has some conscience."
However, that's all.
Manman stood beside her, watching her change into a dress that she rarely wore, and couldn't help but said: "Princess is going out?"
Qin Zhen smiled: "I haven't been in the palace for a long time, so it's time to go and pay your respects to His Majesty."
"Then why didn't the princess go out with the prince this morning?" Manman was a little confused.
Qin Zhen: "I don't want to get up so early."
Manman couldn't help but chuckle.
In the past, when she was at the Qin family, the princess almost never stayed in bed and woke up on time every day without any urging from them.
But since she married into the palace and had the prince, the princess has stayed in bed almost every day. When she wakes up a little early, she will yawn continuously, as if she didn't sleep the night before.
The prince left early for the court, and according to the princess's recent schedule, she really couldn't get up.
She adjusted Qin Zhen's skirt and whispered: "Then the princess can wait until the prince goes to court, and then go home together."
