You Are Asked To Save The Villain, Not Kidnap Him As Your Wife!

The guards were all stunned.

His Highness the Prince actually calls it this?

This is a big deal, okay?

It's just that their prince came to Zhou Dynasty to discuss marriage matters, didn't he?

How come we have only been here for more than a month, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to change to a new emperor.

Could it be that His Highness the Prince’s handiwork is included in this?

Seeing His Highness the Prince galloping on horseback in front, the guards all went numb.

They had a hunch that the matter of the new emperor of Zhou Dynasty must be closely related to His Highness the Prince.

However, they just have to do as they are told.

While Bai Qiuming was heading to Hecheng, preparing to assemble a large army to contain the troops stationed in the northwest, Zhou Ji also quietly returned to the imperial capital.

He didn't go back to the Prince's Mansion, but just walked around outside the Prince's Mansion.

When the shadow guards in the Prince's Mansion saw him, he left.

When Zhou Ji walked into a deserted alley, the shadow guard suddenly appeared.

"Master." There was only one shadow guard who appeared. He knelt down to salute and shouted respectfully.

"Take a few people and go to Lushan to do two things." Zhou Ji said.

The shadow guard said nothing, quietly waiting for Zhou Ji's instructions.

"The first thing is to find the seventeenth princess of Qiu Ci and give this letter to her." Zhou Ji first handed the letter that Bai Qiuming asked him to deliver to the shadow guard.

The shadow guard immediately stretched out his hands respectfully and took the letter.

"The second thing..." Zhou Ji lowered his voice deliberately.

"Yes!" After hearing this, the shadow guard responded without any fluctuation in his eyes.

After the shadow guard left, Zhou Ji entered the palace.

Of course, this time he did not enter openly as the prince.

At this time, the emperor was hunting in Lushan. It was not good for him to appear in the palace openly.

It's better not to be too public until things are settled.

After Zhou Ji entered the palace, he went to the Queen's Palace.

When the queen saw Zhou Ji, she naturally recognized him at a glance.

"Ji'er, why are you here?" the queen asked strangely.

How could the empress in the palace not know about the emperor's hunting trip to Lushan?

The emperor also brought several of his new favorite concubines with him.

"Mother, Zhou Chen is dead." Zhou Ji said.

"Who?" the queen said as if she didn't hear.

"He is Concubine Xuan's son." Zhou Ji explained.

Of course the queen knew that Zhou Chen was Concubine Xuan's son, she just couldn't believe it.

"Did you kill him?" the queen asked with a frown.

"Is the queen mother trying to persuade me again that when my father is gone, the throne will definitely be mine?" Zhou Ji asked.

"It is as it should be," said the queen.

"But Queen Mother, we, mother and son, are just shields for Concubine Xuan and her son." Zhou Ji reminded.

The queen fell silent immediately.

"Zhou Chen's literary talent and military skills are not as good as yours. Your father will not be so confused." The queen said.

"Huh!" Zhou Ji immediately sneered.

Won't?

That's who he is.

"Queen Mother, I am here now anyway. If you help me, you may be the Queen Mother tomorrow. If you don't help, tomorrow I will be a treacherous minister and traitor." Zhou Ji said calmly.

He couldn't figure out how his grandfather, such a murderous and decisive person, could educate such a kind person like his mother.

It's a pity... no, it should be fortunate that he didn't inherit his mother's temperament.

Zhou Ji had already talked about this, so how could the queen not help him?

But she always felt that her son was already the prince, so why would he rebel?

The palace was quickly controlled by Zhou Ji and his son.

Zhou Ji led his men to arrest Concubine Xuan and took her to the punishment department of the palace.

Ji Xuan is indeed a person who has the capital to be loved.

She is similar in age to the queen, but she looks like a little girl.

On a small face with melon seeds, the facial features are delicate and pitiful.

No wonder Emperor Zhou loved her so much and was afraid that she would be harmed by other concubines, so he pretended to be indifferent to her.

After being taken into the Sentence Department, Concubine Xuan behaved pitifully and at a loss as to why she was caught.

Compared to her son Zhou Chen, her acting skills are much better.

"Zhou Chen is dead." Zhou Ji did not rush to interrogate, but said this sentence as if he was chatting.

At this moment, there were only two people in the execution room, Zhou Ji and Concubine Xuan.

Bai Qiuming specifically reminded his father not to speak. Of course, Zhou Ji was careful not to let anyone else participate in the interrogation.

"Your Highness, please stop joking." Concubine Xuan said with a smile.

She looked like she didn't believe her words.

But her eyes still betrayed her.

"If he hadn't said something interesting before he died, how could Gu Ze have brought Concubine Xuan here?" Zhou Ji smiled gracefully.

Concubine Xuan's expression was still gentle, but her eyes gradually became fierce.

"Your Highness, although I am only a concubine, I am also your father's concubine, so you are not afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Father will find out and blame you?" Zhou Ji asked with a smile.

"How can the dead blame the living?" Zhou Ji asked back.

"You actually dare to kill your father and your king!" Concubine Xuan looked at Zhou Ji, trying to see if he was lying.

"Look at what Concubine Xuan said. She has done everything she has done, but she still says she dares. When you and your fourth brother used my mother and I as a shield, weren't you quite brave?" Zhou Ji said with a smile.

"You, you know everything?" Concubine Xuan was really frightened.

"I don't know everything, I just know a little. Aren't you here to ask Concubine Xuan for confirmation?" Zhou Ji simply pulled up a chair and sat down.

Concubine Xuan immediately shut her mouth.

"Concubine Xuan, if you tell me now, I can still spare your life. Although Zhou Chen is dead, you still have a lot of life to live," Zhou Ji said.

But this time Concubine Xuan still kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

Her behavior clearly sent a signal.

That was the secret she knew, and she would definitely die if she told it.

what exactly is it?

"Forget it, since Concubine Xuan doesn't say anything, I have no choice but to send you on your way and torture the woman. After all, it is a bit cruel." Zhou Ji said.

That's what he said, and that's what he really meant.

Bai Qiuming obviously also knew the secrets that Concubine Xuan knew.

Since Concubine Xuan doesn't want to say anything, let her die.

He would go to Bai Qiuming to find the answer.

If Bai Qiuming didn't say anything, he would beat her and torture the woman cruelly.

But Bai Qiuming is not a woman.

never mind.

After all, Bai Qiuming is the only prince in Qiu Ciguo.

After all, it was not appropriate to arrest him and torture him.

Seeing Zhou Ji getting up, as if he really wanted to kill her, Concubine Xuan suddenly panicked.

"You can't kill me!" Concubine Xuan shouted.

Zhou Ji paid no attention to it.

He walked out of the torture chamber and said to the people watching outside: "Keep the whole body intact."

"yes."

Then, Zhou Ji heard Concubine Xuan in the execution room start to curse.

The two words that are scolded most often are bitches.

But soon, there was no sound in the torture chamber.

This was considered a good thing. He was afraid that his fourth brother would be too lonely on the road alone, so he sent his mother and concubine to him.

Zhou Ji said softly: "Fourth brother, you have to walk slowly, lest Father and the others cannot catch up with you."
