"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou's body was chopped into pieces by the Emperor. It should be fed..."
Yang Shu raised his eyes, "You're so ruthless. You've been with me for so many years, and you still won't let him go even after he's died."
"The one at the Second Prince's Mansion is indeed not true. He was hiding in Qian'an Temple and entered the palace in a quarter of an hour." Pai Gow continued to report.
"The conduct of the whole family is so similar."
"Knowing that Guo Yi was going to rebel, he still kept his wife and children in the house. He gave up all his humanity for that position."
Yang Shu walked into the study, sat down and rubbed his eyebrows, "Has Zhou Qing returned with a message?"
"It's still early at this hour."
"Go and have a rest." Yang Shu closed his eyes, he was still tired after not sleeping all night.
In the prison, Feng Bai looked at Feng Shangshu, smiled and said, "Father, the third prince has been defeated, and the Feng family is finished."
"You have worked hard for so many years, but in the end, it is all in vain."
Feng Shangshu frowned. Although he didn't like Feng Bai's attitude, he wasn't in the mood to scold him.
"In fact, you already knew that the third prince would not succeed, so you sent Qingwan away early in the morning."
"Father, am I really your son?"
"Have you ever cared about my life or death?" Feng Bai couldn't help it anymore and roared out.
Feng Shangshu frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but soon his expression froze.
The sound of a sharp weapon digging into flesh could not be heard even if it was close.
Feng Shangshu covered his abdomen and looked at Feng Bai in disbelief.
"Father, if you don't give me a way to live, I have to earn it on my own." Feng Bai looked fiercely, pulled out the sharp knife, and stabbed it in again.
"You have long..."
"Father, you told me that if you want to stand higher, you must learn to use any means necessary. Since the Third Prince cannot succeed, I will naturally look for other big trees."
"You were the one who ignored the love between father and son first, so don't blame me for using your life to show your loyalty."
Feng Bai turned the blade and let the blood spray on his body. His face twitched and twisted with a bit of pleasure.
Feng Shangshu gritted his teeth and did not scream. His facial features were squeezed together, his body was shaking with pain, and big beads of sweat fell from his head. He looked at Feng Bai, his eyes full of sadness.
He didn't want to send Feng Bai away, but as a man, in addition to inheriting the family business, he also had to live and die with the family. To cut the grass, the root must be eradicated. No matter how far he escaped, he would be caught.
You can't even get out of Jian'an at all.
Feng Shangshu did not make a sound until his death. This was the last thing he could do, not to alarm anyone and pretend that he was dying to apologize.
A person who has the reputation of killing his father cannot be tolerated anywhere. He hopes that the people behind Bai'er can help him deal with the aftermath.
Tears oozed from the corners of Feng Shangshu's eyes. His eyes were so wide that he could not close them. How could he not be sad when he died in the hands of his own son.
He had painstakingly taught Feng Bai for so many years, but this was the result.
Ridiculous and sad.
"Second Prince, I killed someone."
Seeing Guo Qi entering the prison, Feng Bai hurriedly crawled over on his knees with a flattering look on his face.
"When will you take me out?"
"Get out?" Guo Qi sneered, pulled out his sword and wiped Feng Bai's neck neatly, "You have already said everything you know, what do I do to a loser who can even attack his biological father?"
"So much trouble." Guo Qi wiped the blood from his sword, threw down the kerchief, and left without looking back.
Feng Bai clutched his neck tightly and stared in Guo Qi's direction, full of resentment and unwillingness.
He lied to him, he actually lied to him!
Feng Bai wanted to yell out, but when he opened his mouth, the blood flowed faster. No matter how unwilling he was, the color in Feng Bai's eyes darkened little by little.
…
"Your Majesty, something happened." Pai Gow rushed into the study, his face a little pale.
"They said they couldn't contact Zhou Qing, and a large amount of blood was found on the road."
Yang Shu stood up suddenly, shook his head to relieve his dizziness, and walked out quickly.
"Call someone!"
The hem of his clothes was blown by the wind, and Yang Shu ran away. Regardless of the security at the city gate, he led his guards and rushed out of Jian'an.
how come? Liu Yun left very secretly, how could she be targeted? Yang Shu tightened his grip on the reins, his eyes scarlet.
After only running for a long time, Yang Shu arrived at the place.
"Your Majesty."
The person who responded to the Hezhou Prefecture greeted him, "According to the itinerary, Zhou Qing should have arrived long ago, but we haven't been able to wait for anyone."
"A large amount of blood was found beside the mountain road. The surrounding area was searched for five miles, but no body was found."
Yang Shu squatted down and pinched some soil moistened with blood. The blood was no longer fresh, but it must not be more than two days old.
"Search!" Yang Shu spoke.
The guards immediately dispersed and searched the dense forest inch by inch.
Thirty miles away, the guards looked around vigilantly, and the group slowly retreated.
The woman guarded in the middle, her dress was dirty and her hair was covering half of her face. She was clinging to the guard, and she was quite frightened just by looking at her.
"careful!"
The guard shouted and cut down the hidden arrows.
By the time the guard figured out the direction and wanted to pursue him, he had already changed positions.
Holding the knife, the guard stepped back step by step. By accident, everyone fell into the animal trap.
"ah!"
The screams echoed through the forest, and it was obvious that he had been trapped by a trapper.
The masked men in the dark looked at each other, did not change their positions, and stepped forward with crossbows in hand.
Just when they were less than thirty meters away from the animal trapping hole, an arrow shot through the air and inserted into the throat of a masked man.
Immediately afterwards, seven guards rushed over with swords in hand.
During the fight, those who fell into the hole climbed out and joined the fighting team.
The number of masked men was outnumbered by the guards, and they failed to escape several times. They gradually lost their ability to resist and fell one after another.
Half an hour later, the forest returned to silence.
"The killing should be over, right?" A guard looked around.
"Don't take it lightly." Zhou Qing looked at the surrounding vegetation.
"Dispose of the body."
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes and spoke. The guards understood and bent down to expose the woman.
The wind blew in waves, but there was no sound for a long time.
"It should be gone." The guards relaxed and sat down.
The woman threw back her messy hair, revealing a delicate face, "I'll have to do it next time."
"How can we not be as delicate as you? People will definitely notice it." The guard teased.
Zhou Qing still didn't relax, observing the surroundings. It took a full quarter of an hour before he put away the knife and walked to the right.
The wind carried the smell of blood far away, and Liu Yun covered her mouth to suppress the rising nausea.
"Second Madam, we have taken care of this person." Zhou Qingchao said to Liu Yun who was behind the gravel.
Liu Yun stood up with Zi'er's help. Both of them were wearing green shirts, just like the guards.
"Find a direction and get out of here. We have lost news for so long. I'm afraid the prince may have received a letter. We need to contact the people in Hezhou Prefecture."
Although Liu Yun's face was a little pale, her words were steady.
Zhou Qing looked at her worriedly, "Second Madam, do you want to take a rest? You can't hold on like this."
After not sleeping all night, the second lady's body will definitely not be able to bear it if she has to go on the road again.
Before going out, the prince repeatedly told him that he must keep the mother and son safe.
Liu Yun shook her head, "This forest is too deep. If we stay any longer, we don't know what we will face."
"A storm is coming to Jian'an, we can't cause trouble for the prince."
