The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Chapter 140 Reasons

"Besides, who said you are the only legitimate one left? Isn't there Prince An?"

Jiang Yunxi pulled out the dagger.

Blood splattered all over Jiang Yunxi.

"You..." Zhao Zheyong covered his chest and pointed at Jiang Yunxi.

Before he could finish his words, he died.

Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhao Zheyong with a somewhat numb look in his eyes.

"My revenge has been taken, and now what?" Jiang Yunxi asked himself.

Nan Nan, who was standing outside the cell, watched Jiang Yunxi kill Zhao Zheyong before walking in, "Princess, we can't stay here for long."

Jiang Yunxi loosened his hand, threw away the dagger, turned and walked towards the cell door.

Before he took two steps, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Zhou Cheng was unable to stop them, and Zhao Changyu appeared in front of Jiang Yunxi.

Zhao Changyu frowned and looked at the bloodstains on Jiang Yunxi's clothes. He turned around and saw Zhao Zheyong lying on the ground and bit his lip.

Zhou Cheng didn't expect that Jiang Yunxi came to kill Zhao Zheyong. He walked into the cell, tried Zhao Zheyong's pulse, checked his wounds, and widened his eyes in surprise.

If there is no deep hatred, why would there be so much killing?

"You killed him?" Zhou Cheng pointed at Zhao Zheyong's body and questioned Jiang Yunxi, "The Censorate will make the final decision. Why did you kill him?"

"Commander Zhou, did you see it? The third prince committed suicide out of fear of punishment. What does it have to do with me?" Jiang Yunxi looked coldly.

"All of you get out." Zhao Changyu said coldly.

Zhou Cheng didn't move, but Nan Nan took a step forward, but when she saw that Zhou Cheng didn't move, she stopped too.

"Now, there is only Prince An's legitimate royal branch left. Commander Zhou, can't you see the situation clearly?" Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhao Changyu with a smile on his face while speaking, but there was some sarcasm in his tone.

Nan Nan pulled Zhou Cheng out.

Only Jiang Yunxi and Zhao Changyu were left in the cell.

"You don't have to kill him yourself. If you want, I can do it for you. You shouldn't be here." Zhao Changyu spoke first.

Jiang Yunxi didn't expect Zhao Changyu to say this, "Your Majesty."

It was the first time she called him like that in front of him, and she felt a little uncomfortable at first.

Jiang Yunxi suddenly knelt down and bowed to Zhao Changyu. "Your Majesty, I did have selfish motives in killing Zhao Zheyong, and I dare not ask for a favor from you. But if Your Majesty wants to punish me, I am willing to take the responsibility and commit suicide to apologize. I only hope that this matter ends here and does not implicate Grandmother."

Her tone was very calm.

Zhao Changyu sighed softly, bent down and helped her up.

Jiang Yunxi didn't move.

"Yun Xi, stand up and talk." Zhao Changyu ordered.

Jiang Yunxi then stood up with the help of his hand.

"Why did you want to kill him?" Zhao Changyu asked, staring at her face.

Jiang Yunxi did not answer.

"I won't ask why you want to kill my brother. I know that if it weren't for self-protection, you would never touch him." Zhao Changyu spoke slowly, "But why did you want to kill Zhao Zheyong? What deep hatred do you have with him that you have to kill him yourself?"

Jiang Yunxi moved his lips but did not give the answer Zhao Changyu wanted. "Your Majesty should return to Qianning Palace as soon as possible to take charge of the situation. How long can the current situation be suppressed? If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not be able to rest in peace day and night."

Zhao Changyu knew that she had made up her mind not to say anything.

"Just stay in Kunning Palace and don't do anything." Zhao Changyu untied his cloak and tied it around her to hide the bloodstains on her clothes.

He held Jiang Yunxi's shoulders and insisted on hearing her say it herself, "Promise me."
