1748 Zhou Huailing’s Meeting with Liu Qingqing 4
Zhou Huailing quickly grasped the gravity of the situation. He realized that Liu Qingqing had made up her mind. She did not want Qiqi to have a father like him, someone who would pose a threat to their son’s safety and future. She was determined to protect their child at all costs.
However, this was not the fate Zhou Huailing had envisioned for himself. He still saw a future filled with luxury and power as the Crown Prince. He couldn’t accept the idea of his life being cut short so abruptly.
“Just as you think,” Liu Qingqing responded sharply, confirming her intentions.
Without hesitation, she reached for a dagger concealed in her garments and swiftly plunged it into Zhou Huailing’s heart. There was no trace of emotion or affection on her face as she carried out the fatal act.
Zhou Huailing’s eyes bulged in shock. He desperately tried to utter something, but his words failed him. Blood gushed from the corners of his lips as his life slipped away.
He had been killed by the woman he had been married to for three years. The realization filled him with disbelief. This was not how he had imagined his demise.
With a final surge of strength, Liu Qingqing exerted more force, ensuring Zhou Huailing’s immediate demise. His life was extinguished, leaving behind a lifeless body in the room.
The guard rushed into the room upon hearing the unusual sounds, only to be confronted with a shocking scene before him.
“The Crown Prince!” the guard exclaimed, his voice filled with alarm.
He had initially devised this plan to help the Crown Prince, Zhou Huailing, and Liu Qingqing, the Princess Consort of Lord Ling, reconcile. He believed that women, being inherently soft-hearted, would eventually yearn for a peaceful home. However, Liu Qingqing, the Elder Miss of the Liu Family, proved to be different.
She displayed a cold-heartedness that startled the guard.
“I… I must report this to the King!” the guard stammered, his fear palpable as he hastily left the room.
Liu Qingqing released her grip on the dagger, instructing a maid to bring her water to wash the blood from her hands. She calmly proceeded to clean the stains, unaffected by the gruesome act she had just committed.
Yunyi, who had witnessed the entire scene, was in a state of shock. She had lashed out at Liu Qingqing out of frustration for being ignored. However, she had come to understand that Liu Qingqing had not returned for the sake of Zhou Huailing. There were deeper motivations behind her actions.
But…
This was out of her anticipation.
She was so resolute.
That was good!
Yunyi was very glad as well.
She took out her handkerchief and passed it to Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing did not accept that offer, but stared at her with lingering fury. “Will you still suspect me?”
“….”
“Will you misunderstand me again?
“Never.” Yunyi said, frankly.
Liu Qingqing’s fierceness seemed to evoke a sense of relief within her.
It indicated that Liu Qingqing genuinely cared about Yunyi’s feelings, which was a significant step forward in their relationship.
Liu Qingqing calmly accepted the handkerchief from the maid and proceeded to wipe her hands, her demeanor appearing much more composed now.
Meanwhile, the guard hastily relayed the news to the King, who was in the midst of having porridge with Gu Chaoyan. The King, feeling somewhat impatient, responded dismissively, “What can he do? Let him wait outside the screen.”
Dealing with this matter was not a priority for him at the moment.
The guard, growing more anxious, continued, “Your Majesty, the former Crown Prince has been fatally stabbed by the Elder Miss of the Liu Family. What should we do? Should we involve the Dali Temple? I am uncertain about how to handle this situation, so I have reported it to you.”
Zhou Huailing was dead?
In Liu Qingqing’s eyes, it was a fitting end for him.
Considering the numerous heinous acts he had committed and the many betrayals he had orchestrated, especially towards Liu Qingqing and her son, it was only appropriate for Liu Qingqing to put an end to his life.
If Liu Qi was to grow up without any potential threats, Zhou Huailing should not have been allowed to live on.
Zhou Huaijin, calmly sipping his porridge alongside Gu Chaoyan, responded to the news nonchalantly, “The former Crown Prince Zhou Huailing met his demise in the mansion. We will proceed with his funeral arrangements.”
Met his demise? The guard was momentarily confused before stepping away to carry out his duties.
As the guard left, Lingyun entered the room.
Seeing Lingyun’s arrival, Zhou Huaijin became alert and asked her, “Do you have any solutions?”
