Watching the people at the door disperse, Hong Wu walked to the door of the inner room and slowly opened it.

"Gone?" Shen Luofan's voice came faintly from inside.

"Yeah." Hong Wu responded with a complicated expression.

Shen Luofan washed his bloody hands, patted the seriously injured and unconscious woman, and said to her: "The wound has been sutured. Carry her out and wipe the blood off her. You can leave when she wakes up."

"Yes." Hong Wu walked over and carried the woman on her back. She looked towards the cabinet inside the room and opened her lips as if she wanted to say something.

Shen Luofan raised his hand to signal her to stop talking, and said helplessly: "Just this once, I'm sorry to His Majesty."

Hong Wu sighed, and finally said nothing. She carried the unconscious woman out of the inner room.

After she went out, Shen Luofan pushed his wheelchair to the door and locked it, then went to the cabinet against the inner wall and reached out to open the wardrobe.

As the cabinet door was opened, a man covered in blood fell out like a dead fish.

This man had a pale face and was shaking all over, with serious injuries on his shoulders and back. Who else could it be but Ye Beimo, the prince of Zhujing Kingdom?

Ye Beimo felt excruciating pain all over his body. He fell to the ground, looking up at the person in front of him with a strong desire to survive in his eyes.

"Save...save me." He opened his lips several times before uttering a complete sentence. He used the last bit of strength to grab the corner of his clothes, his face full of pain and unwillingness.

"I can't die yet, save me, my brother..."

The voice of "Royal Brother" reached Shen Luofan's ears, and he felt like he was struck by lightning.

He clenched his fists with a complicated expression, and finally made a decision. He turned the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands, turned around, and came to the bed.

"Go up by yourself." He ordered coldly, watching the man wriggling on the ground like a maggot.

After finally crawling to the bed, he stood up with a grim look on his face and fell heavily onto the bed.

Shen Luofan didn't say anything either. He picked up a pair of scissors and quickly cut off his shirt, then wiped the blood off his wound with a clean cotton cloth.

Ye Beimo gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and couldn't help but sigh: "They say blood is thicker than water, and it's true. Even though my mother and I treated you like that before, you still couldn't bear to see me die tragically in a foreign land at the critical moment."

Shen Luofan smiled coldly, saying sarcastically, "I didn't expect to hear the words 'blood is thicker than water' from you.

"At the beginning, I repeatedly assured you that I had no interest in the throne, but you were so suspicious that you planned to break my legs in order to compete for the position of crown prince. Why didn't I say that blood is thicker than water at that time?"

Ye Beimo was scolded by him and felt guilty. He was silent for a moment and explained weakly: "I explained to you when I first saw you when I came here. Father values ​​you, and I am worried that he will make you the heir.

"I originally wanted to just drive you out of Zhujing Country and then create the illusion of your death. I didn't intend to hurt you. But I didn't expect..."

He paused, with a hint of annoyance in his tone, "Women are vicious. My mother was afraid of another accident, so she bribed her subordinates without telling me, and the order she gave changed from driving you away to hunting you down. As a result, you fell off the cliff while escaping and broke both your legs.

"I only found out the truth later, but the matter is done, so I..."

Shen Luofan snorted coldly, his usually calm eyes tinged with hatred, "It's easy for you to say that, if Lu Xiuyuan hadn't appeared and saved me, I would be a pile of bones now!

"You made me a cripple. I will never forgive you in my life, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Ye Beimo sighed and flattered, "Alas, although my brother may be resentful, he still thinks of our blood relationship. Otherwise, he would not have betrayed Lu Xiuyuan and saved me today."

Shen Luofan did not deny it. He held the silver needle to disinfect it over the fire and said ruthlessly, "Even if there is a trace of blood relationship left, saving your life today is enough to offset it!

"Ye Beimo, when you leave, we will be strangers. You and I, or even the entire Zhujing Kingdom, will no longer have any relationship!

"My name is Shen Luofan, and I am from Lingjiang Country. Prince Yu Nan Lu Xiuyuan saved my life and gave me a new life. Today is the first and last time I will betray him in my life!"

Ye Beimo rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, and spoke again: "You and Lu Xiuyuan have a good relationship. If you interfere...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his back, which made him break out in cold sweat and his face became distorted.

Shen Luofan pretended not to hear anything and pierced the flesh on one side of his wound with the silver needle in his hand.

"Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. If you say one more word that you shouldn't have, I'll have someone call the prince over right away!"

“Yes, yes, yes…” Ye Beimo agreed repeatedly, gritting his teeth and gasping in pain.

"Royal brother, you should use anesthetic. It would be so painful to sew up such a long wound."

"The anesthetic is gone."

"you……"

"You owe me this, so accept it!" Shen Luofan's face was full of hostility, and the needle in his hand moved quickly and fiercely, stabbing the flesh on his back as if to vent his anger.

Ye Beimo opened his eyes wide in extreme pain. If he hadn’t bitten the pillow in time, his heart-wrenching scream would have been heard three blocks away.

In the imperial study of the palace, Lu Shian dismissed everyone and left only Lu Xiuyuan inside, and ordered people not to disturb him no matter what.

"Ye Baijiang...died last night?" Lu Xiuyuan looked at the person in front of him in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Lu Shian nodded in confirmation, "My mother poisoned him to death last night, leaving him with an intact body and retaining his final dignity."

Lu Xiuyuan was full of suspicion. From what he knew about Ye Feiyan, she didn't seem like someone who could do such a thing.

She protected her family like treasures. When this happened, she should have cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide to force Lu Shian to pardon Ye Baijiang. Why didn't she play by the rules this time?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Lu Shian explained: "This time there are both witnesses and evidence, and the Queen Mother knew that she couldn't protect Ye Baijiang, so she chose this path.

"Don't worry, I've had the body carefully examined. There's no breathing or heartbeat, and the body is cold. He died completely, there's no way it's fake."

After hearing what he said, Lu Xiuyuan finally believed it to about 70%, and then asked: "If that's the case, why don't you just announce it to the world? Why do you have to stage a fake execution at the vegetable market?"

Lu Shian shrugged, with an indulgent smile on his face, "My wife said that she wanted to use this to warn the world."

"Oh?" Lu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.

"What about you? How did you know that Ye Beimo would hijack the prisoner van, and even borrowed some men from me on the eve of the execution?"

"Your wife also said so." Lu Xiuyuan answered truthfully, looking at him meaningfully, "Your wife... is really not a simple person!"

Lu Shian laughed, with pride and pride in his expression, "That's right, otherwise how could she be my wife?"

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at him and kindly reminded him, "Don't be too obsessed with beauty. Be careful of her. After all, she is a princess of an enemy country. Although I don't know why she plotted to murder her own brother."
