A tyrant develops a daily life

Chapter 129
As the night fell, dark clouds rolled across the sky, covering half of the sky, and the moonlight was also blocked.

Zhao Sheng was thrown by Manager Chang on a cold open space behind the rockery. He was already weak, but he had just been kicked by Jing Yuan, and now his complexion turned pale.

Jing Yuan rushed here angrily, and retreated with a shout, and Manager Chang quietly retreated.Jing Yuan looked at the vulnerable Zhao Sheng who was curled up on the ground, and the anger in his heart burned even more. He grabbed Zhao Sheng's skirt and lifted Zhao Sheng up: "Do you know what you are doing? Are you crazy? ?!"

Zhao Sheng's complexion didn't change at all, he was still clear and indifferent, but due to weakness and pain, his whole face showed a strange paleness.

Jing Yuan's eyes darkened, and his raised fist barely stopped in mid-air: "Is that on purpose? Have you thought about the consequences? Ah? It's very likely that I didn't die, and you were executed first!"

Zhao Sheng looked at him indifferently, it was obvious that he had thought of any consequences.

Jing Yuan wished that he was acting on his own will, and now he just hugged his arms and begged him for forgiveness. He thought that maybe he could really expose this, but he didn't!

Jing Yuan's big palm tightly grabbed his throat: "You hate me so much? You hate so much that you are willing to pay for your own life, but also put me to death?"

"Yes."

Zhao Sheng answered firmly.

Jing Yuan wished to break his neck with one hand: "But I don't die so easily, I am the emperor's own flesh and blood! He won't be willing to kill me!"

Zhao Sheng said fearlessly: "Then kill me, at least I will be free."

Jing Yuan's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"

Zhao Sheng paused and said, "I've had enough of this kind of life, Your Highness. Since then, I went to Qiongbi and fell to Huangquan, never seeing each other again."

Jing Yuan ran away!

Just when Jing Yuan couldn't help but wanted to kill Zhao Sheng with a sword, Chang Boss called His Highness a few times in a low voice, Jing Yuan threw Zhao Sheng to the ground hard, seeing Zhao Sheng spit out a mouthful of blood, his body shook , subconsciously popped out his hand, trying to help him, but suddenly, the voice of the old eunuch came to his ears: "The emperor has an order to bring Zhao Sheng back to the palace for interrogation."

"Eunuch Liu."

The old eunuch spoke earnestly and earnestly: "The Second Highness finally obtained the emperor's forgiveness, and the old servant boldly advises the Second Highness, when it is time to pick it up, you must pick yourself out."

Jing Yuan's footsteps were firmly nailed to the ground.

The old eunuch winked at the guard behind him, and the guard stepped forward and dragged Zhao Sheng up.

"The old slave will leave." The old eunuch bowed, and when he passed by Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan grabbed his arm, "Your Highness?"

Jing Yuan asked awkwardly: "Father...how will he deal with him?"

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment: "This, old slave, it's hard to say, you should have seen the emperor's methods before."

After the emperor changed his clothes, he went back to the palace. Although King Jing felt strange, but because of the emperor's gloomy face, he couldn't ask any more questions. Seeing that his son was almost full, his eyes moved and said, "I'll go find your concubine mother. gone."

You're afraid... you won't find her.The corners of Jingxi's lips twitched: "Go."

King Jing went.

Jingxi sat alone by the window drinking, with an empty glass in front of him, as if he was waiting for some guest.

"Master, the second prince is asking to see you." Manager Zhao reported with a blessing.

No, the guests are here.

When Jing Xi filled up the wine glass on the opposite side, Jing Yuan had already walked in front of him, snatched the wine jug he was pouring, and said sharply, "Did you do it?"

Jing Xi asked unhurriedly, "Did I do what?"

Jing Yuan slammed his fist on the table: "Stop pretending to me! Zhao Sheng has been with me all this way, where did the poison come from?"

Jing Xi said calmly, "Xu Shi hid it on his body when he left the palace." After speaking, he took a sip of his drink with a half-smile, "Would you like a glass? Wine made from peach blossoms."

Jing Yuan knocked over the wine glass in front of him: "I haven't touched that part of his body? I don't know if he's hiding something or not?"

Jing Xi shook his head slowly: "Don't tell me about your boudoir secrets, I'm not interested."

Jing Yuan choked for a moment, his face flushed red: "Do you dare to say that Zhao Sheng was not ordered by you?"

"That's my second brother's male favourite, how can I control him? Could it be... Second brother loves him so much, and he still wholeheartedly hopes for his death, and is he willing to join forces with his most hated opponent to murder him?" Jingxi smiled.

Every word he said hit Jing Yuan's sore foot, Jing Yuan's face almost turned pale, he squeezed his fists, suppressed his anger and said, "Get Zhao Sheng out, I'll just see it for my cousin's sake." Come on, forgive you once!"

"Heh~" Jingxi sneered, "Second brother's attitude of begging for help is too insincere."

"Are you going to save it or not?" Jing Yuan's fists were clenched.

Jing Xi said, "I can't save you."

Jing Yuan gritted his teeth: "Aren't you afraid that my father will force him to confess that you are behind the scenes?"

Jing Xi smiled faintly: "Compared to me, shouldn't Second Brother be more worried about yourself?"

Jing Yuan choked again, and he didn't know that Zhao Sheng hated himself more than Jing Xi. Zhao Sheng would rather lie than tell the truth.Regardless of Zhao Sheng's soft and weak appearance, he is more stubborn than anyone else in his heart, and he can carry it better than anyone else. No one can force him to change his mouth.

The opportunity that I have been looking forward to for six years, is it just ruined like this?

How is he willing? !

What's even more exasperating is that he was more worried about Zhao Sheng's situation than his own future. No matter who the mastermind behind the scenes was confessed by Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng could not escape being tortured to death.

For the first time in his life, he felt helpless. He had never been so embarrassed even when he was deposed as a prince, expelled from the capital, and imprisoned in a fiefdom.

"You have a way to save Zhao Sheng, don't you?" He looked at Jingxi, his previous domineering tone was gone.

Jingxi didn't seem to hear his words, he swung the glass, the aroma of the wine wafted faintly, lingering on the tip of his nose, he closed his eyes intoxicated.

Jing Yuan held back and said: "I admit that I pretended to cooperate with you at first, trying to cheat your trust, and then took the opportunity to get rid of you. You have seen through me, haven't you?"

Jing Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Jing Yuan raised his head and took a deep breath: "I don't know how you persuaded Zhao Sheng, anyway, it doesn't matter anyway, but I have to humbly beg you, Jing Xi, you are really good at winning!" Pretty!"

Jingxi took a sip of the fine wine, leaned back lazily on the chair, and said elegantly and lazily: "Thank you for the compliment."

"What exactly do you want from me?" Jing Yuan suppressed his anger.

Jing Xi squinted at him: "This time, are you sure you won't play tricks?"

Jing Yuan humiliatedly said: "Don't play tricks anymore." He never won a trick with you.

"I'm afraid that sick beauty of yours won't last long in the emperor's hands, so I'll stop talking nonsense." Jingxi's expression straightened, "I've always wondered why the emperor is so afraid of my father? So afraid of everything Hit him at a price. Even his son will be killed. But my father has no intention of taking the throne, you should have seen this, right?"

Jing Yuan nodded: "I was also very confused at one point, maybe it's because Father is suspicious by nature?"

Jing Xi said irrefutably: "Suspiciousness is certainly one aspect, but is there another possibility?"

"What is possible?"

"The first emperor actually established my father as emperor."

Jing Yuan said without thinking, "This is impossible!"

"It's a catchphrase again, second brother." Jingxi finished drinking the wine in his glass and slowly filled it up again, "Get me the last emperor's edict, and I'll help you rescue Zhao Sheng."

Jing Yuan turned his face away: "How do I know where the edict is?"

Jing Xi said: "As far as I know, it's in Concubine Shu's hands."

"My concubine mother?" Jing Yuan frowned, "She is already dead."

Jingxi nodded: "It's true that she is dead, but her bedroom is still there, and her sister is also there. You don't think that pig-brained aunt is really so beautiful that she is loved by the emperor, right? You committed a crime , she was not implicated, don't you find it strange?"

When he was adopted under the name of Concubine Zhen, he was already very old, and he didn't have deep feelings for Concubine Zhen. Whether Concubine Zhen was favored or fell out of favor, he didn't care at all. Therefore, he didn't suspect anything. It is indeed a bit strange to mention it this way.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the concubine Zhen is always favored. Could it be that she really has something to do with the emperor?

Jing Yuan left suspiciously.

Manager Zhao went into the room to clean up the food and drink, saw that Jingxi had drunk most of the jug, and he was still full of emotions, he quickly pressed his hand and said, "Master, too much alcohol hurts your body, you have to go to see Miss Lin tonight, don't get drunk , forgot."

"I can't forget it." Jing Xi smiled and put down the jug.

Director Zhao asked while packing his things: "But, is there really an edict from the first emperor?"

"Of course not." With the means of the emperor, if there was a will, it would have been uncovered long ago.

"Then how do you say that Concubine Zhen's favor is strange?" Director Zhao was puzzled.

Jing Xi said amusedly: "Damn him, he doesn't like women, so naturally he doesn't understand what makes a woman worthy of a man's love."

Director Zhao is ashamed, he is a eunuch, and he can't like women, so because of this, he also believes it?
"Then you still let the second prince enter the palace to look for the will, isn't that intentional to let him go to nothing?"

Jing Xi smiled meaningfully: "He will find something more precious than the will."

From the moment Jing Yuan was forgiven by the emperor, he took back the token and the jade butterfly. He entered the palace unimpeded and first asked to see the emperor. The emperor was discussing matters with several elders and did not summon him.

He begged to visit Concubine Zhen again, and the emperor sent a message, and he agreed.

He sat in Concubine Zhen's bedroom for half an hour, and then went to Concubine Shu's bedroom.

When Concubine Shu was alive, she was once the most favored concubine in the harem, and because of this, he became the most important prince in the emperor's heart.Later, Concubine Shu passed away, and the emperor mourned, and ordered the Mingshu Palace to be put on hold, and other concubines were not allowed to move in.

He used to think that his father did this to miss his mother and concubine, but now, thinking of the will, he couldn't help but suspect that his father was hiding some unknown secret.

The eunuch who guarded the gate recognized him, he was startled for a moment, then he lowered his head without saying anything.

Jing Yuan searched all the places he could find in the bedroom, and finally found a small kit nailed under the bed board under the small bed he slept in when he was a child. The color of the kit looked a bit old and was covered with dust.

He removed the kit and took out a letter from it. He was born by Concubine Shu, so he naturally recognized that it was Concubine Shu's handwriting. The handwriting was very scribbled, and it could be seen that he was in a state of nervousness and panic when he wrote it. .

"The emperor found out that I hid the last emperor's edict and forced me to hand it over. I am afraid that I will die soon. Don't do it. If the edict is here, the Dou family is here."

Jing Yuan was struck by a bolt from the blue.

There really was a will, and it was obtained by the mother and concubine.

And the mother and concubine... were killed by the emperor.

After discussing the important matters with the elders, the emperor got up and went back to the bedroom. Halfway, as soon as he reached the door, he saw Jing Yuan with tears in his eyes: "If you are here to intercede for that male favorite, I advise you to avoid it; If you're here to prove your innocence..."

Just halfway through the emperor's words, Jing Yuan's dagger pierced his chest.
