"Commander Nan, it's just a caning. As long as you move fast enough, no one will die." Chu Yanzhi hugged his shoulders and looked at Nan Jiamu provocatively.

In the current situation, no one dares to stand behind Nan Jiamu. How can it be easy for him to carry a half-dead person out by himself?

Nan Jiamu turned around and looked at Chu Yanzhi, then looked at the people around him. They were all there to laugh at the joke. They just wanted Xiao Yuan'er to die.

He lowered his head to look at Nan Yuan lying on the stretcher. She was dying. How could she endure the beating?

If the fight continues, he will have no choice but to collect Xiao Yuan'er's body.

"Okay, you want evidence, right?"

Nan Jiamu drew the sword from his waist.

When Chu Yanzhi saw Nan Jiamu's actions, his pupils suddenly shrank. He quickly took two steps back and grabbed two guards to stand in front of him.

Nan Jiamu ignored his actions, but put his hands on the rack, raised his knife and cut off one of his little fingers.

Blood flowed down along the tip of the knife.

"Commander Nan!" Zheng Shiwen was shocked. Looking at the broken finger on the ground and Nan Jiamu who had cut off one of his own fingers, he didn't know what to do.

"Bang——" Nan Jiamu threw the bloody knife to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"I guarantee that Nan Yuan has nothing to do with this matter. She is innocent. I am offering this finger as a token of my sincerity. I will go and apologize to His Majesty later."

Chu Yanzhi snorted coldly and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Nan Jiamu said, "I am the commander of the imperial guards, responsible for the safety of the palace. You are just a small imperial guard. If you dare to disobey orders, you will be executed on the spot."

Nan Jiamu looked at Chu Yanzhi as if he was looking at a dead person, cold and piercing.

He had no doubt that Nan Jiamu really wanted to kill him, so Chu Yanzhi just stared at Nan Jiamu viciously, but never dared to take a step forward, and watched Nan Jiamu take Nan Yuan away.

Zheng Shiwen helped Nan Jiamu send Nan Yuan to the Imperial Hospital. During this time, he asked in confusion, "Commander Nan, why are you doing this?"

With their imperial guards brothers here, I can’t say anything else, but they can definitely stop Chu Yanzhi and the others and prevent them from continuing the execution.

Nan Yuan's life is definitely not in danger, so why would he do this, cutting off one of his fingers, and bringing Nan Yuan out at this time?

Find the evidence first, and then you can take Nan Yuan away from Chu Yanzhi openly without having to bear the guilt of disobeying the order like now.

Why is this happening?

Nan Jiamu didn't care about his bleeding finger at all, and only focused on Nan Yuan's increasingly paler face.

"She won't die, but it will take time to find evidence, but my sister can't wait. If it takes longer, my sister will suffer more."

"Hurry up and go to the Imperial Hospital."

Prince's Mansion.

The sun was setting, and Gu Jingheng had finished dealing with all the documents on his desk.

He looked up at the sky. Why didn’t Nan Yuan come to find him at this time?

Logically speaking, Nan Yuan should be afraid that he would say something to "Xie Luochen", so she should take the initiative to find him, beg him, and coax him to prevent him from letting the secret slip.

But what time is it now, why hasn’t Nan Yuan come yet?

How can she keep her composure so calm?

"Aqi!" Gu Jingheng shouted towards the door.

"What does the master want me to do?" Ah Qi came in front of Gu Jingheng in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jingheng pinched his swollen temple and asked, "How is she doing?"

"Don't worry, master. Everything is fine." Ah Qi replied.

Is everything ok?

Everything is fine, just don't come to see him, right?

Gu Jingheng touched his back teeth and felt his temple throbbing.

Not coming to see him?

it is good!

If the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain!

Gu Jingheng threw the letter in his hand away and was about to walk out.

He ran into the servant who came to deliver the message: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Princess sent someone to deliver a message to you."

Gu Jingheng frowned and asked, "What letter?"

The servant looked up at Gu Jingheng's expression and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

The servant took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and said, "You are still the prince. Little Yuan'er is about to be killed, and you are still staying in your prince's mansion. You will regret it in the future."

Gu Jingheng frowned and shouted, "What did you say?!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess said so..." The servant was so scared that he trembled and pointed outside the palace and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess also said that if you want to know anything, you can ask the people waiting outside the palace. She went to save people first."

Gu Jingheng glanced at Ah Qi, his eyes cold and cold: "I'll settle the score with you later."

Royal study room.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you cannot come in!" The little eunuch hurried over and tried to stop him left and right, but still failed to stop the angry Gu Jingheng.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is discussing state affairs in the study and has specifically ordered that no one is allowed to enter. Your Highness... Your Highness..."

The emperor's personal eunuch Hu Maocai saw that Gu Jingheng looked unhappy, and the young eunuch could not stop him, so he hurried forward to stop him, but still failed and got kicked instead.

"Your Highness, please don't make His Majesty angry. His Majesty is very mad now!" Hu Maocai shouted as he chased after Gu Jingheng.

I don't know which blind person dared to use witchcraft to curse the Queen in the palace, and fortunately His Majesty discovered it. At this time, His Majesty is still angry!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so angry. If the two of them don't get along and start quarreling, then they, the servants, will be the ones to suffer.

"Get out of here!" Gu Jingheng shouted and kicked open the door of the imperial study.

The ministers who were discussing matters inside looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to react.

"Boom!"

Gu Jingheng looked at the table in front of him, and with a flick of his hand, he swept away all the things on the table, and then kicked the solid wooden table, making it tilted.

The ministers gathered around the table all knelt down in fear, shouting in unison: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Hu Maocai, who had been kicked to the ground long ago, finally rushed over. Seeing the mess in the room, he held his breath, prostrated himself on the ground, and dared not say a word.

The memorial in the emperor's hand was the only thing that was not damaged. He looked at the mess on the ground and threw it away, throwing this last thing into the pile of miscellaneous items.

"Go down."

It looks like they are coming towards him.

Don’t air your dirty laundry in public; teach your son a lesson behind closed doors.

Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned and crawled out of the imperial study.

"What happened? Why are you so angry?" The emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked up at Gu Jingheng, who had an angry face.

Eight years ago, because Gu Jingheng couldn't control his temper, he sent his son to the remote southern border to guard it for three years to train his temper.

By the time he came back five years ago, he had already mastered the attitude of not showing his emotions.

He wanted to know what could have turned his good son into what he is now.

"Father, I've told you before that I have nothing to ask of you in this life. Just one thing, leave the Nan family's affairs, especially Nan Yuan's affairs, to me."

With a "bang", Gu Jingheng slammed his hands on the table, approached the emperor, and said sternly: "But if you don't agree to me on this point, then neither of us will have a good life!"

Gu Jingheng's left eye was flashing green.

If you look closely, you can see that the emperor's face is also tainted with anger, and his eyes are shining with the same light as Gu Jingheng's.

No, it should be said that Gu Jingheng's eyes are very much like the emperor's.

However, the emperor was experienced and quickly suppressed his anger.

"It's not easy. How do you want me to be uncomfortable?"

Nan family?

When did he touch the girl from the Nan family?

This is not very important. What is important is that this is the first time that Gu Jingheng has contradicted him like this.

Even when he sent the fifteen-year-old Gu Jingheng to southern Xinjiang, Gu Jingheng was not so impatient.

Even when he was eighteen years old and Gu Jingheng returned to the court with a great victory, he locked up his left and right arms in the White Horse Temple without any explanation, and Gu Jingheng did not break into his imperial study to interrogate him.

What happened?

Could it be that the boy from the White Horse Temple died?

But he didn't order anyone to kill the guy, so why could Gu Jingheng blame him?

"If my son can't get the person he likes, then Father can't expect to live happily ever after. The two of us can be alone."

"Snapped--"

As soon as Gu Jingheng finished speaking, the emperor slapped him in the face, knocking his head crooked, showing how strong the force was.

The emperor was so angry that his left hand was shaking.

He naturally knew what Gu Jingheng was talking about. Back then, he killed his brother to seize the throne, and raped his own sister-in-law. Now his sister-in-law knew nothing and was sitting in Kunning Palace as his queen.

The scenes of those years and the blood in the palace would not fade away for more than ten days.

The truth that he tried so hard to conceal was now revealed by Gu Jingheng.

Even just a hint was enough to break his defense.

Gu Jingheng sneered and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"You think I know nothing? You think I don't know why you drove me to Southern Xinjiang eight years ago? You think I don't know that you wanted me to die in Southern Xinjiang."

"If I die, no one will know about your scandal of killing your brother and seizing the throne, right? Then you can be with my mother with peace of mind?"

"Don't forget how you got all this! You've been wearing the mask for so long that you really think it's your own?"

Gu Jingheng knew everything. He still remembered that before he was seven or eight years old, his "father" was very mean to him and called him a bastard in front of the palace servants. The relationship between his "father" and his mother was also very bad and they often quarreled.

But all this changed on the day of his ninth birthday. His father was very kind to him, had high hopes for him, and even made him the crown prince.

The relationship between my father, the emperor and my mother also improved.

It’s as if all the memories before the age of nine were fake.

When he was fifteen, he could no longer remember what had made him angry, but he discovered that his left eye was different from others and was green.

This scene happened to be discovered by his father, who then sent him to southern Xinjiang without any further explanation.

Southern Xinjiang at that time was different from what it is today, and it was extremely turbulent.

His father wanted him to die in southern Xinjiang!

Only if he dies can his dirty bloodline be covered up, and no one will find out that the emperor of Dayong has been replaced long ago.

"From now on, if you want peace and stability, you don't have to worry about anything and just be a puppet emperor. If you want to fight and make trouble, then none of us will have a good life."

Gu Jingheng left this sentence and turned away.

The emperor leaned back in his chair, breathing heavily, and after a moment, he laughed.

"Okay, okay, okay, you are really my good son!"

The disciple is better than the master. His son is very much like him, even more cruel than him. He only kills people, but his son wants to destroy their hearts.

"Hu Maocai!"

Hu Maocai watched Gu Jingheng walk out angrily, and then heard the emperor's voice and walked in nervously.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Go, go to Kunning Palace and ask the Queen to go to the Buddhist temple temporarily. No matter what happens in the palace, it must not be heard by the Queen."

"Yes."

Hu Maocai stumbled out and chased after him.

Kunning Palace, at the palace gate.

The sky had already darkened, the lights in the lanterns flickered, and the entire Kunning Palace was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Chu Yunni didn't know what had happened. She only knew that the Queen was suddenly transferred away, as if something big was about to happen.

She had a vague feeling in her heart that it was caused by Nan Yuan's death. After all, the prince was still fond of Nan Yuan, and her sudden death naturally required an investigation.

But it doesn't matter, she has already thought of an excuse, even if the prince is angry, this matter has nothing to do with her.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! Ah——"

As soon as Chu Yunni stepped out of the gate of Kunning Palace, she heard screams.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, calmed down, and looked forward.

Seeing the lights in front gathered into a ball and shone on Gu Jingheng's face, he looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell to take his life.

Looking at Gu Jingheng's current appearance, Chu Yunni was even more convinced that Nan Yuan was dead, otherwise why would the prince be like this?

"What's wrong with your Highness the Crown Prince?" Chu Yunni bravely stepped forward.

Gu Jingheng turned his head, stared at Chu Yunni, and suddenly laughed softly.

"Princess Yun Ni, come and see if you recognize that person."

Chu Yunni followed Gu Jingheng's gaze and saw three people kneeling there. Two of them were eunuchs she had bribed, responsible for placing the witchcraft figurine on Princess Xie's body, and the other was her personal maid named Liuying.

Of the three people at this time, one had his tongue pulled out, one was skinned, and one was tortured to death.

The bloody smell was overwhelming and shocking.

With this method of torture, what information can't be obtained?

Could it be that they have already confessed?

Chu Yunni took a deep breath, forced herself to remain calm, and turned to look at the man beside her. She saw his pair of deep black eyes, which seemed to contain a thousand years of ice. The temperature around them dropped suddenly, and it seemed that even the air was filled with a murderous aura.

Chu Yunni's heart was beating violently. She must have not made a move yet. If she had, how could she still be standing here?

She rolled her eyes up and down, rushed forward, slapped Liuying on the face, and scolded: "Slut, what shameful thing did you do to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so angry?"

Chu Yunni pinched Liuying's chin and threatened her with her eyes, "Think about your family. If you give her away, everyone will die."
