The people in the courtyard swarmed up and suppressed King Cheng almost instantly. Those on the Wangxing Tower were killed and injured. The remaining people were quickly taken away by Xiaowei and Yongxinhou as soon as they got off the ground. Those who came were caught.
The heavy rain was still falling, and the arrows that had been shot at Wangxing Tower were smeared with tung oil. Instead of being extinguished, they started to burn. Under the raging fire, the entire courtyard was brightly illuminated, and there was almost no movement in Prince Cheng's Mansion. Alarmed the entire capital.
"Father..."
Xie Yin was at a loss as he pulled on King Cheng's sleeves. It could be seen that Canglang and the others on the opposite side came forward with their men to push King Cheng down. King Cheng, who had murderous intent on his face just now, never resisted until the end.
He became more and more panicked, and when he was pushed down by someone's backhand, he looked up in panic.
"Concubine, concubine, save me..."
ah--
Cang Lang kicked Xie Yin hard on the legs and wrists, knocking him to his knees on the ground: "Now you know how to call me mother. When you saw your father killing people just now, didn't you enjoy watching the fun?"
"I didn't, I... I was just scared, I didn't know..."
Xie Yin's face turned pale in pain. As he was being dragged out, he grabbed Princess Cheng's sleeve when he passed by her and was so frightened that his eyes filled with tears.
"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, I was just scared. Please help me. I don't know about my father. I don't know he hides weapons secretly. I, I just thought you killed my grandmother. I was in a panic... …”
Snapped!
Princess Cheng slapped him hard on the face: "Did you not know, or did you know the truth and come with Xie Tianyu to harm me?"
"I don't!"
"If you didn't, why did you think I was the one who killed the concubine?"
"I……"
Xie Yin hugged her arm and looked pale: "What I don't know is that it was my father who came to me at night and cried to me that you had changed your heart towards him. It was he who told me that when you came back this time, you didn't treat us as intimately as you did in the past." , I really don’t know anything..."
"I just heard someone shouting for help outside, and I saw you leading them out of the grandmother's room covered in blood. It was my father who said that you killed my grandmother, and it was he who said that you colluded with Xiao Yan and others to destroy her. The palace.”
"I don't know anything. I, I didn't want to harm you..."
Princess Cheng looked at Xie Yin who was full of sophistry and whining, but her heart was not moved at all.
She once regarded this child as her own destiny. Even though she hated Xie Tianyu for lying to her, she also thought about enduring it for Xie Yin. She was angry at him for acting stupidly, but she was also afraid that she would be criticized for leaving the palace.
The biggest reason why she came back to Prince Cheng's Mansion was because she couldn't bear to leave Xie Yin. But just now when her life was in danger, Xie Tianyu wanted to kill her, but Xie Yin stood in the corridor indifferently.
There was never a moment when she knew so clearly that her son did not see her as a mother-in-law.
Princess Cheng pulled her hand away with force: "You don't want to harm me, but you can just sit back and watch me die. Xie Yin, I don't have a son as cruel as you."
"Mother and concubine..."
"Get away!"
Seeing that Xie Yin was still about to pounce on him and cry for mercy, Gu Helian kicked him and staggered him: "What a disgusting thing!"
He turned towards Xiao Yan and said, "Hurry up and ask your people to drag this white-eyed wolf away. I feel sick to my stomach even if I look at him one more time."
Cang Lang directly pulled the person up and carried him out.
Gu Helian was hit by an arrow in the back and gasped in pain. She heard Xie Yin still shouting "mother concubine" when he was dragged away. Seeing that Princess Cheng refused to plead for him, he later yelled at her as "heartless".
He couldn't help but spat and cursed viciously: "If he wasn't Rongyue's son, I would really want to chop him alive."
Marquis Wenxin looked at Princess Cheng, whose face was extremely pale, and it was hard to explain what happened tonight.
In the past, I only thought that the eldest son of Prince Cheng was young and foolish, so he was deceived by the concubine of the Song family. But now I know that he is not young and ignorant at all, but just as cruel and cold-blooded as his father.
For this kind of son, he would rather be stuffed into a manhole and drowned.
"Director Xiao, there are still people alive inside."
Wu Huai led the people from Jingzhao Mansion into the concubine's room. He was shocked for a moment when he saw the old concubine in a miserable death condition. The man who followed him carefully ordered someone to carry out the concubine's body and inspect it. Only then did she realize that Grandma Jiang, who had fallen to the ground, was still breathing.
Seeing someone carrying Nanny Jiang out, Gu Helian spat: "This old godly woman is not dead yet?"
Jinyun also followed him in, wiped his hands and said, "Although the person is not dead yet, his tongue has been cut, his hands and feet are disabled, and his internal organs are damaged. It seems that he may not survive."
King Cheng obviously did not want to spare Nanny Jiang's life.
When Grandma Jiang was placed on the ground, her whole body was dying. The previous torture by King Cheng's cronies almost killed her, but she managed to survive by holding on for a breath.
Her eyes were blurry with pain, and when she vaguely caught sight of Princess Cheng standing outside, her eyes bulged and she struggled to look at her, and she opened her mouth wide and screamed "Ahhhh".
It's a pity that the tongue was cut off and the mouth could not speak. There was only a bloody mass in the open mouth, and the fingers that were raised with all their strength were twisted strangely. It was particularly terrifying to look at in the night.
The second prince covered his mouth and frowned: "Uncle Prince Cheng is so cruel."
Wu Huai also shook his head: "Killing can only be done with a nod, he is so..." But it is really too cruel.
Marquis Wenxin had met Princess Cheng in the past, and naturally knew that the old woman in front of him was a close confidant of Princess Cheng. He couldn't help but glance at Princess Cheng, and saw that Princess Cheng's face was getting paler.
"A person who betrays the Lord deserves to die."
Princess Cheng pursed her lips tightly when she heard this. Compared with Xie Tianyu and Xie Yin, Aunt Jiang's betrayal was the most difficult thing for her to accept. This was the nanny who had taken care of her when she grew up. She regarded her as half She was someone who she trusted and relied on like a mother, and she never doubted her even when she returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
"Why did you betray me?" Princess Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"Ahhhh——"
Grandma Jiang shook her head vigorously with tears in her eyes. When her messy gray hair spread out, she looked like a crazy woman.
She wanted to say that she was not betrayed, that she was confused for a moment, that she was deceived by Xie Tianyu, but all the words turned into indistinct screams when she reached her lips.
Her mouth was filled with blood, and Nanny Jiang tried her best to swallow it, but the blood flowed out from her nose. She struggled like a maggot to grab Princess Cheng's dress, and her body dragged out long strands on the ground. Bloodstains.
Gu Helian quickly pulled Princess Cheng back two steps, letting her hand that had just touched the hem of her skirt fall to the ground with a bang.
"Ignore this crazy woman and let's go."
Princess Cheng closed her eyes tiredly, covered up the tears in her eyes, said "hmm" and wanted to leave.
When Grandma Jiang saw this, she suddenly screamed crazily.
"Ahhhhh——"
"Ahh——"
Song Tangning was startled and was led back by Xiao Yan. The admin of Jingzhao Mansion almost failed to hold down Nanny Jiang.
She seemed to be really crazy, paralyzed on the ground and struggling constantly, blood gushing out of her mouth, but she still looked in the direction of Princess Cheng and stretched out her hands, opening her mouth wide as if she wanted to say something.
