After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 42: End of Luodu Chapter

Shen Mingjiao sighed secretly. She felt that Mrs. Zhao was too stupid for being willing to sacrifice so much for a man who might not really love her.

But no matter what, she must be prevented from going to the capital now.

Shen Mingjiao stepped forward and tentatively held Mrs. Zhao's hand, but found that the other person's hand was very cold. She was heartbroken.

"Let's go ashore first. His Highness has already brought Mr. Zhao over."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly reacted and grabbed Shen Mingjiao's wrist: "Don't arrest him, it's me... I'm the murderer... ahem..."

Because she was so excited, she bent over and coughed heartbreakingly.

Shen Mingjiao hurriedly patted her back gently and tilted her head to indicate to Tiezhu.

After Mrs. Zhao finally regained her composure, she hurriedly said: "I..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a numbness on his back, then his vision went dark and he slowly fell down.

Tie Zhu retracted his hand, and Shen Mingjiao hurriedly supported him and signaled the boatman to paddle ashore.

It is true that Mrs. Zhao has such ability and is not in good health. She is afraid that something might happen if she stays on the boat.

After the boat docked, several people came to a nearby guest house. Mrs. Zhao woke up leisurely.

She grabbed the mattress and stood up with difficulty: "Princess Su, tell His Highness Prince Su to let Zhao Ke go. I did all this..."

Zhao Ke, who was being sneaked over by Feng Lisheng, suddenly heard these words and froze for a moment.

Shen Mingjiao poured her a cup of tea: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

Mrs. Zhao took a breath and looked at Shen Mingjiao: "I think the princess already knows something about hypnosis."

"Hypnotism is a type of witchcraft, but it also has levels. Different from other witchcraft, especially high-level hypnosis relies on one's own talent. It may be difficult to find a person with such talent in decades, and

There are levels of talent like this.

The hypnosis technique of Lotus Picking is only considered elementary and can only control some weak-willed people and some animals.

So that night, when I learned about Zhao Ke's plan, I quietly followed the two of them to Fang's richest man's house. When Cailian's hypnosis failed, I helped them control everyone in the house."

Although she had already guessed it, Shen Mingjiao still found it a little unbelievable to hear her say it herself. There was really such a person in the world who would go so far for love.

She couldn't help but ask: "Does Zhao Ke know?"

Mrs. Zhao lowered her eyes: "He doesn't know."

"When the two families of Jia Tongpan and Xu Tongzhi were killed, they were obviously on guard. With Cai Lian's ability, it was impossible to centrally control those people. In order to fear that something would happen to Zhao Ke, I arrived at the two families in advance and used hypnosis to control them.

Xi Quan killed everyone. When Zhao Ke and Cailian came over, he used hypnosis to tamper with their memories."

"As for the case of the missing treasury silver, I arrived at the scene in advance and used the same method to kill the soldiers guarding the treasury. Then I tampered with the memories of Zhao Ke and the two of them."

Shen Mingjiao: "What happened to the half of the jade pendant that the soldier tore off?"

Mrs. Zhao shook her head: "I don't know,"

Separated by a wall, Feng Lisheng glanced at Zhao Ke, who looked in disbelief and pain, and directly tapped his mute point.

After figuring out the whole story, it is easy to figure out that Zhao Ke deliberately left that half of the trace in order to let the people who came to investigate the case follow the clues and find Cai Lian.

Because if there is no progress in the case, maybe the emperor's brother will directly kill all the officials in Luodu in anger.

Such a result is obviously not what Zhao Ke wants. He not only wants to use this matter to bring down all the officials in Luodu, but also wants to use Kuyin to threaten the emperor's brother to make a crime against him.

And he pushed Cai Lian out appropriately to buy him time to go to the capital.

After hearing what she said, Shen Mingjiao asked her again: "Is it worth it?"

Mrs. Zhao smiled softly: "There is no question whether it is worth it or not, only whether you are willing or not."

"Actually, I knew from the beginning that he was not the real Zhao Ke, but so what! I knew that Cai Lian and the real Zhao Ke had impure thoughts, but I still agreed to marry him.

I'm just looking forward to him maybe coming back one day..."

Mrs. Zhao covered her lips and coughed lightly, her eyes showing hurt: "He did come back later, but... he seemed to have forgotten me,"

She sat weakly on the bedside and sighed: "It doesn't matter if you forget me. As long as I can always look at him, I will be very satisfied..."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and her words stopped abruptly. She stared blankly at Zhao Ke who rushed in with red eyes.

Zhao Ke looked at her pale and weak face, and recalled in a daze that year, under the burning peonies, the girl's brisk and bright smile. She said her name was Jiang Susu, and that he would be her husband when they meet again in the future.

We didn't know her identity at the time, so we just thought it was a young girl boldly showing her love.

But his face turned red and his heart beat like thunder. He secretly made up his mind to follow His Highness the Crown Prince and find a future. If he could marry that girl, he would at least keep her worry-free for the rest of her life.

But later...when we met again, she was already Zhao Ke's wife, and at that time he crawled out of the mud, carrying a blood feud.

Occasionally when he saw her secretly looking at him, he would feel reluctance and distress in his heart.

But there is no balance between loyalty and justice. Since he has chosen to avenge His Highness the Crown Prince, it is destined to be a road of no return. He cannot selfishly implicate her.

At this moment, the woman on the couch suddenly asked softly:

"Zhao Ke, have you ever...ever...liked me a little bit..."

After she finished speaking, a pair of beautiful obsidian eyes stared at him.

Zhao Ke turned away, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "No, I have never liked you, not before, and never in the future."

After speaking, he lowered his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and suppressed the sourness in his eyes.

How can a person who is destined to die have the qualifications to talk about liking him?

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, although it was an expected answer, deep disappointment still flashed in her eyes.

Isn't he even willing to lie to himself?

She suddenly raised her head, glanced at Zhao Ke for the last time, then got out of bed with difficulty, and slowly knelt down to Feng Lisheng:

"Your Highness, King Su, the woman is willing to plead guilty. Everything was done by the woman alone. Please give Zhao Ke a lighter sentence."

Feng Lisheng glanced at her and whispered: "Press the person down."

Zhao Ke rushed over fiercely and shouted urgently: "Are you crazy?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhao being carried out, he glared at Feng Lisheng: "What evidence do you have to arrest her?"

Feng Lisheng glanced at him: "She admitted it herself, which is the best evidence. Besides, neither you nor him can escape."

Seeing Mrs. Zhao about to walk out of the door, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Let her go, and I'll tell you Ku Yin's whereabouts."

Feng Lisheng's eyes moved slightly and he waved his hand towards Tiezhu.

Mrs. Zhao turned her head and looked at him lightly, "No need..."

After saying that, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and slowly fell down.

Zhao Ke was completely panicked when he saw this.

Shen Mingjiao had an ominous premonition in her heart and hurriedly urged Tie Zhu to ask for a doctor.

Fortunately, there is a medical center nearby. Not long after, a gray-haired old man came in carrying a medicine box. He glanced at Mrs. Zhao's face, then raised his hand to check for a pulse. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After a while, he took back his hand and sighed.

The tone said:

"You should prepare for the funeral! This lady's heart has been severely damaged, and she is almost exhausted!"

Zhao Ke felt like a bolt from the blue. Looking at Mrs. Zhao lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she vaguely seemed to have seen the scene when the Crown Prince fell silently and covered in blood:

"How could this happen...She is obviously in good health..."

Shen Mingjiao also felt a little uncomfortable, although she knew that after doing these things, Mrs. Zhao would definitely die in the end, but after all, they had met each other.

She asked the doctor: "Is there nothing I can do?"

The doctor shook his head, turned and left.

Shen Mingjiao passed in front of Zhao Ke and said calmly:

"If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place? The reason why she is like this is because she overdrawn her ability too much and suffered a backlash. In other words, he sacrificed his own life to help you."

Not long after, Mrs. Zhao woke up. She was very calm about her physical condition: "I have killed so many innocent people, so I will naturally suffer retribution. This is the punishment I deserve."

She turned to look at Zhao Ke, who had red eyes, and said with a faint smile: "It's worth it to see you cry for me once in this life."

She coughed lightly and vomited a mouthful of blood: "You have done what you should do for your Royal Highness, can you promise me, if possible, to live a good life for yourself?"

Zhao Ke smiled bitterly, he had taken poison before, and he only had less than three days left to live, so what about the future!

He knew he had no way out, so he turned his head and knelt down to Feng Lisheng,

"Your Majesty, can you tell me the truth? Is His Royal Highness the Prince's death related to the Emperor? I can explain it to His Highness when I go underground."

Feng Lisheng did not hesitate and shook his head firmly: "Although the imperial brother does not like Qi You's sharp skills, he will never murder his own son. As for the murderer of Qi You, I promise you that he will never be killed in his lifetime.

, the person will be caught and brought to justice.”

Even without this incident, he has been tracking down the murderer of Qi You, and his intuition is that Qi You's death is probably related to the palace coup in the past life of Jing and twenty-five years ago, that is, King Yu who was far away in Jingzhou

.

Zhao Ke leaned against Mrs. Zhao's couch and said softly: "Okay, I believe you. If you can't do it, I will curse you to never be loved by the one you love."

Shen Mingjiao twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself that your curse is quite effective.

Feng Lisheng likes Su Qing, and Su Qing only likes people who can be emperors, so as expected, he will never be loved by his beloved.

Hearing this, Feng Lisheng glanced at Shen Mingjiao subconsciously, feeling a little unhappy.

But I heard Zhao Ke continue: "As for where the treasure is hidden?"

He straightened up and said seriously every word: "I want you to swear that you must make sure that every tael of these silvers is used to a practical purpose, otherwise I will not tell you even if it means death."

Hearing this, Feng Lisheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. Although Zhao Ke acted extreme and almost caused a disaster, there was no doubt about his sincerity towards Qi You.
