Zi Mu was immersed in his memories.
Until a voice called out to him in the darkness," Master, she's coming this way.”
Only then did Zi Mu return to reality. All his emotions were instantly concealed.
He reached out and tore open Xiao'e's already messy clothes. He undid Zizhao's clothes and placed the blood-covered dagger between the two of them.
After everything was settled, Zi Mu smiled. That smile was cruel and made people shudder.
Then, Zi Mu left the pavilion and disappeared into the night.
The Queen hurried to the garden with a guard because she had just received news that someone had seen the Crown Prince forcefully bring the maid Xiao Er to the garden. The Queen was worried that something would happen, so she hurried over.
However, he did not expect to see such a scene when he arrived at the garden.
The two of them were covered in blood as they lay on the ground. The dazzling red was as brilliant as the setting sun.
Because of the news he had just received, he subconsciously had some preconceived notions.
The Queen did not think much about it and immediately determined that Zi Zhao wanted to use violence, but Little E did not obey. She resisted with all her might and used a dagger to kill Zi Zhao. Before Zi Zhao fainted, she used the same dagger to kill Little E!
The Queen stood there in shock, not knowing what to do. She just stared, her mind blank.
It was her personal guard, Chen Yan, who reacted first and hurriedly went forward to investigate. In the end, he confirmed that the maid, Xiao Er, was dead and the Crown Prince had only fainted.
After Chen Yan reported the truth, he waited for the Queen's instructions. However, the Queen did not respond for a long time. He glanced at the Queen who was still in a daze and said," Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince's injuries are not serious, he must be bandaged first. Otherwise, he will lose too much blood…Should we call the imperial physician?"”
When the queen heard that someone was to be found, she woke up from her daze and hurriedly stopped him." No, absolutely not!”
According to the law, killing someone had to be paid with one's life. Even if he was the Crown Prince, there was no exception. Although the Crown Prince might not be sentenced to death for killing a palace maid, punishment was absolutely inevitable. If that happened, his position as Crown Prince would be threatened, and his so-called future would be ruined.
The queen did not dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it. She would not let such a thing happen. Although it was natural for a person to pay with his life, he was still a child that she had raised single-handedly. He was also a filial child…How could she bear to…
Moreover, perhaps Zi Zhao had been impulsive or had made a mistake and caused the disaster. The Queen kept finding all kinds of excuses for Zi Zhao.
Thinking of this, the queen raised her head and stared straight at the guard who had followed her for more than ten years. She said firmly," Bandage the Crown Prince's wound and send him out of the city to the State of Yue!”
Chen Yan understood what the White Queen meant and answered without hesitation," Yes!”
His life was given by the Queen. If the Queen had not kindly saved him back then, he would have died long ago. For the Queen, he could go through fire and water!
"But Queen, if someone asks…"
"If anyone asks, just say that Bengong sent the Crown Prince to handle some matters. As for Little Er, no one will notice. Even if someone asks, just say that she broke the palace rules and has been kicked out of the palace by me.”
"Yes."
After he finished speaking, Chen Yan quickly bandaged Zi Zhao's wound, then cleaned up the scene and buried Little Er's body. All of this seemed to be done in the blink of an eye, like a veteran in the underworld.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Chen Yan carried Zi Zhao and climbed over the wall out of the palace. At this time, the city gate was tightly closed. For ordinary people, it was as difficult as ascending to the sky to leave the city. However, for Chen Yan, who was a killer, it was a piece of cake. He exerted strength under his feet and easily flew up the city wall. With another jump, he was already standing outside the city.
The patrolling soldiers on the city wall widened their eyes. Why did it seem like there was a black shadow under the city wall? He rubbed his eyes and stretched his neck to take a closer look. However, he did not find anything. He sighed. Did he not nourish his eyes well during the day and his eyes were blurry?
In Fengyi Palace, the queen sat alone on a chair…deep in thought…
If you tell Mother that you've fallen in love with someone and she loves you back, and you say that she's very special and doesn't care about your identity, then Mother will send you there and take the opportunity to test her sincerity…
If she lets you stay, mother will personally preside over your wedding in the future. If she does anything harmful to you, mother will kill her for your safety…
The Queen remembered what she had told Chen Yan before she left. If there was an accident, kill him!
The queen had been kind all her life. When she was conferred the title of empress, her father had made her swear to the heavens that she would not interfere in the government and ignore the disputes in the court…Otherwise…But today, for her son, she might have to go against her oath!
He recalled the person he had met at his mother's house many years ago. That person had solemnly told his father that if his daughter became the queen, she must not interfere in the government, especially disputes. Otherwise, she would die a tragic death at the hands of her loved ones!
Was this fate…? The queen closed her eyes…
Outside the palace, the wind rustled as if it was sobbing…
