Chapter 120: Apparently using the imperial list to force the prince
Lin Qingning could hardly keep her balance in that moment.
She clutched her sleeves tightly: "Qing Ning, I don't understand what His Highness means."
"It's just a joke." Wei Siyun returned to his expressionless expression, as if the words he just said were really what he said casually when he was in a bad mood.
"I think you know what I want," Wei Siyun continued: "You have been considerate and tactful since you were a child, but you actually put your thoughts on my father."
"Your Highness——"
"This palace will find a way to get him to take back the marriage edict. Yun Chuxing needs to rest, so don't bother him."
A few warning words aroused jealousy in Lin Qingning's heart: "But Your Highness, no matter how good Yunchu is, she is not your wife now. Qingning has done nothing wrong, why do you exclude Qingning so much for her!"
Her unwillingness and resentment were almost impossible to hide.
Why?
Why can He Yunchu get everything from Wei Siyun without doing anything!
And she naughtily handed over the great offer to Wei Siyun, and he didn't even bother to look at it?!
Why?
"Exclude you?" Wei Siyun lowered his eyes, which were dark and deep, bottomless and opaque: "Why was the marriage edict issued today?"
He Yunchu started it when he was walking outside. At that time, it was early in the morning to retire from the court.
He arranged for He Yunchu's shadow guards to go out, and three of them died. Even if they died, they were still insiders.
It was when the shadow guard came to report that the imperial edict of marriage was sent to the East Palace. He rushed to Chengqian Palace to argue, and Lin Qingning cut her wrists.
Wenpo and maid Qingli were able to take the opportunity to exchange the child, but he didn't receive the news until Meng Jiaojiao came to find him.
The people in this mansion were silent and were replaced by someone else's people at some point.
Lin Qingning looked up at him in panic and shook her head violently: "Your Highness, I knew you would doubt me, but I didn't. The marriage edict... is just a coincidence, Your Highness!"
"coincide?"
Where do so many coincidences come from?
In this courtyard, almost all important people have been interfered with. Do you want him to believe it is a coincidence?
His mood was extremely bad, and Wei Siyun felt a violent, bloodthirsty rage.
He turned to Cai Bing and ordered: "Take Po Wen to the side courtyard!"
Lin Qingning didn't know what he was going to do. Although she didn't arrange the person here, how could she not know what role Po Wen was?
What does Wei Siyun want to bring Wen Po out?
Wen Po was quickly brought over.
There is a huge stone pillar in the side courtyard. The stone pillar was used by the previous owner's family to practice martial arts. After He Yunchu bought it, the side courtyard was basically vacant.
Therefore, the stone pillars were not moved.
Now Wen Po is tied to the stone pillar. Her eyes are wide open, as if she is anticipating her death. She keeps shaking her head and murmuring: "It's not me, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Wei Siyun was approaching step by step.
Cai Bing from behind urged Lin Qingning and his master and servant to get closer.
The closer she got, the uglier Lin Qingning's face inevitably became.
Although Po Wen doesn't know her and doesn't know what role she plays, why did Wei Siyun bring her here?
"Do it."
Wei Siyun ordered coldly.
Immediately, a guard came forward, grabbed one of Wenpo's hands, and cut it directly, causing blood to flow out.
"ah!!!"
A shrill cry rang out, and after meeting Wei Siyun's extremely displeased gaze, the guard stuffed Wen Po's mouth.
The blood on the fingertips flowed down without hesitation, ticking like a freezing night under the eaves in March.
But this voice became more mellow, touching the heartstrings, and shocking.
"She accepts property and is lawless. She just set her sights on my child. Now she is a waste. Even if she has never really seen the source, it is enough for her and her family to die ten thousand times."
Lin Qingning was supported by a hairpin and was able to stand still. Her lips were pale and she tried her best to smile: "Yes, yes."
The blood on Wen Po's fingertips was not flowing very fast.
Because the blood continuously emerges from the human body, it is warm and flows slightly when it gathers together.
After a long time, it flowed into the drainage channel of the yard.
The flowers and plants on both sides were dyed red, showing an unusually strange dark color.
Wenpo was gradually losing her strength. She kicked her legs and struggled, but it was obvious that she couldn't move. Her eyes widened with fear on her face, and she looked straight at Lin Qingning.
His eyes were blood red and his cheeks were yellow and white due to blood loss.
That scene was like a ghost asking for his life.
Lin Qingning tightly grasped the arm that was holding the ring, and both the master and the servant were shaking.
Such an intuitive and slow murder scene is rare even in prison executions.
But Lin Qingning couldn't tell whether she was afraid of this scene, or whether she was more afraid of Wei Siyun like this.
She didn't know whether Wei Siyun wanted to punish this steady woman to gauge her reaction.
Could it be that Wei Siyun really suspected him?
The moving legs of Wen Po gradually stopped, and her mouth was gagged, making her unable to make a sound.
After the blood drained from his body, he remained motionless with his eyes wide open.
"She died."
Wei Siyun's voice suddenly woke up Lin Qingning.
She woke up as if from a dream, her legs were so weak that she almost knelt down, but she didn't dare to move at all.
"Do you think this way of death is easier for her?" Wei Siyun looked over again, his eyes stained with red, which made Lin Qingning particularly unfamiliar.
"When the maid in prison reveals the mastermind behind this, I will use methods a hundred times more brutal than this to make her taste the taste."
Lin Qingning was shocked.
"What's wrong?" Wei Siyun came over, looking down at Lin Qingning, "Are you scared?"
Lin Qingning was trembling. She could no longer maintain her balance, and tears fell from her eyes: "Your Highness... Seeing that Qingning is not feeling well today, please allow me to go back and rest first.
..”
Wei Siyun looked at her deeply for a long time.
For a long time, Lin Qingning thought he was going to tie herself to the stone pillar, but he suddenly turned away and said, "Go ahead."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Someone died in the side courtyard, so it wasn't worth making much noise.
But one person's blood flowed in a meandering way, seeping into the soil, staining most of the courtyard red, coupled with the scream.
The prince's reputation for violence spread throughout the imperial city overnight.
The rumor took another turn.
Hearing that something unexpected happened during the birth of He Yunchu, the prince suffered a disaster and the prince was furious.
Nowadays, there are disputes in the court. Some people say that the emperor has evil intentions in granting the marriage, while others say that the queen is operating secretly for the sake of the second prince.
The prince was so violent that he killed all the servants serving in the courtyard that night, and half of the courtyard was stained red with blood.
Then what?
The whole city was under martial law and searched for half a month, but there was still no whereabouts of the prince.
So the prince became more and more crazy, mobilized troops to expand the area, and even the emperor, who was seriously ill, was placed under house arrest.
It seems that after the great changes, the prince's mentality also changed drastically.
He was violent and autocratic to the point of madness, and one day half a month later, he even threw out a royal list.
The content mentioned in the imperial list directly pointed out that the emperor was unkind and listed several of his crimes during his reign.
He became the first prince in history to crusade against the emperor and use the imperial ranking to force the palace. This chapter has been completed!
