After looking at it, Zheng Xiyao discovered that the person in the jar was the former prime minister——
Chen Hai.
That Chen Hai who was once inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, that powerful minister who turned his hands into clouds and turned into rain.
"Recognize it?"
"You actually made him a human pig!" Gouging out his eyes, cutting off his nose and tongue, cutting off his limbs, and then sealing him in an altar. Living a life worse than death can be described as the cruelest punishment.
The person in the altar seemed to realize that someone was coming, and his body shook violently. He wanted to shout, but he could only make a sound of "Ahhhhh".
At this time, Zheng Xiyao stared straight ahead as if frozen.
Liu Siyan coldly turned her face away; "What, are you feeling distressed?"
Zheng Xiyao shook her head in panic, denying the male protagonist's conjecture.
"No? Then how did you know he was Chen Hai? I'm very curious, how did Yao'er recognize him when he looks like this?"
Liu Siyan raised her chin and asked. .
Zheng Xiyao answered without thinking: "It's the knife wound between his eyebrows."
There is an obvious scar on Chen Hai's right eyebrow, which was scratched by the hero when he was a prince when he was a child. The feud between the male protagonist and Chen Hai also started because of this scar.
"Oh? I forgot, his scar is still because of you, isn't it?" As Liu Siyan's sinister words fell, he pinched Zheng Xiyao's face hard.
Zheng Xiyao's heartbeat quickened and sweat broke out on her forehead. Zheng Xiyao felt as if her face was being distorted, and the pain on her face made her consciousness a little blurry.
How could she not know that without her, the male protagonist would not have provoked Chen Hai.
When Zheng Xiyao first came to this world, it was difficult to adapt to the ancient dynasty with strict etiquette and laws. Although she was young at that time, she was very courageous. Coupled with her status as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qi, even if she offended someone, she dared not speak out.
So, when she found out that a group of men were bullying two little palace maids, she couldn't help but teach them a lesson.
The young Zheng Xiyao took a whip to the bully Chen Hai and others, and scolded: "What are you doing!" Although the technique is immature, it is also quite methodical.
Maybe it was her sudden appearance that frightened the group of little bullies for a moment.
She helped the little palace maid up, and a childish boy's voice came from behind her: "Who are you, who dare to use weapons in the palace?"
Zheng Xiyao held her head high and answered disdainfully, "Aren't you also holding weapons?" She pointed at the group of little boys, some holding slingshots and some holding wooden sticks. The leader, a little boy who looked like a female doll, stood aside with a big knife half as tall as a man, leaking evil spirit and being unruly.
"Us? Do you know who we are?" the boy asked sinisterly.
"I don't know." Zheng Xiyao looked at the little boy's cold expression and replied with a guilty conscience.
"This is the son of the lord of Rongyang County," the little fat man said, pointing to the child holding a slingshot next to him. "He is the son of Weitian Jianjun, and I am the crown prince of Changshan County." Then he pointed proudly. The boy in the middle said: "This is the legitimate son of the Chen family, the son of Princess Yong'an."
"Oh, it turns out they are a group of little gangsters who rely on the family's protection and bully the weak."
"Who are you calling a gangster?"
"I'm talking about you"
"you!"
After a few words, a few people started arguing. During the push, Zheng Xiyao was pushed to the ground and broke her knee.
"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"
It happened that this scene was seen by the seven-year-old male protagonist Liu Siyan who was passing by, and he immediately stepped forward to ask nervously. At that time, the male protagonist Liu Siyan had a very good relationship with her and were almost inseparable.
"Who do you dare to hurt people in the palace?" Liu Siyan scolded everyone.
Although Liu Siyan was a prince, he grew up in a cold palace for a long time. Most nobles rarely saw him, so they didn't recognize him. Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, several people thought he was some nosy, powerless son of an aristocratic family. Naturally, they are not afraid.
"We hurt people, what can you do?" Several children began to provoke.
Just now, Chen Hai saw Zheng Xiyao falling and wanted to stop him. Later, he saw Liu Siyan coming to interfere, and found that the two of them were acting close. For some reason, he felt that Liu Siyan was an eyesore, so he did not stop the little follower Zhao Yan. .
Several people started fighting quickly, but obviously they were no match for Liu Siyan. When Chen Hai saw one of his own being beaten, he immediately took action and fought Liu Siyan for several rounds with a sword.
But what they didn't know was that Liu Siyan and Zheng Xiyao had already joined the Kunlun sect's disciple Fang Hui to practice together. In fact, at that time, ordinary warriors could not hurt Liu Siyan, let alone a young man.
"If you want to be a hero and save a beauty, you don't even have to look at how much you weigh." Chen Hai mocked and stimulated, "What's more, you have never seen this kind of thing." Chen Hai deliberately provoked with words.
Although Liu Siyan knew clearly that he was deliberately provoking, he was still angered by Chen Hai. In anger, he used 30% of his power and knocked Chen Hai's knife away. It just crossed Chen Hai's eyebrow, leaving a scar.
Liu Siyan calmed down several people in an instant. Those little bullies had no idea that a thin boy could kill their eldest brother Chen Hai with one palm effortlessly.
It was also from that time that the relationship between Chen Hai and the male protagonist Liu Siyan was forged. So those things happened later.
Speaking of which, many things did become like this because of her.
Zheng Xiyao lowered her head and whispered: "Brother Zichen..." Liu Siyan noticed that Zheng Xiyao was tugging at the corner of her clothes.
"You..." Liu Siyan was stunned for a moment and had a moment of doubt. After all, Zheng Xiyao was still in this state ten years ago.
Zheng Xiyao held on to the hem of his clothes and said softly, "Brother Zichen, I was wrong."
"Are you wrong? What's wrong with you?" Liu Siyan sneered, "You've been like this since you were a child. You have to get what you want by any means necessary. You want the highest position, so what's wrong with your mother's role in the world?"
"I'm sorry." Zheng Xiyao apologized softly.
Liu Siyan was silent, and then decisively pulled the corner of his clothes back from Zheng Xiyao's hand. Looking at Zheng Xiyao coldly, there was no emotion in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, it was me who hurt you and pushed you off the cliff. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Your Majesty's sinful daughter is willing to accept all punishments, as long as your Majesty lets others go."
"Anything is okay?"
Zheng Xiyao immediately responded: "Yes, everything is fine."
Liu Siyan looked at Zheng Xiyao with a strange and complicated look in his eyes.
He stared at her meaningfully for a long time and left without saying anything.
