Chapter 168 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 28
Si Ying was silent. It was indeed the case.
The Duke of Zhenguo felt a little ashamed. "In the end, I didn't find out who sent those men in black. The few who were still alive bit through the poison hidden in their mouths and committed suicide. There were no marks on their clothes or weapons. Sigh~"
The Duke of Zhenguo began to sigh again. After Si Ying knew everything he wanted to know, she comforted him and left.
She knew who did it.
In the past, she suspected that it might be the emperor of the Great Zhou at that time, the father of the current emperor, who arranged for people to hunt him down, but now Si Ying knows that it was not the emperor of the Great Zhou who gave the order.
The reason is very simple. If it was done by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, those people would not have to hide their identities so much. Moreover, hiding poison in the mouth is obviously the style of the Yu Kingdom.
Those people whom Hong Yanshan sent to torture Gu Xinting before, in the end, tried to commit suicide by biting the poison hidden in their mouths, and were then discovered by Si Ying.
Si Ying already knew who killed the original owner's parents, so naturally she decided not to stay in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. She told the Duke Zhenguo that she wanted to go home to pay tribute to Uncle Ming, and then Si Ying drove away in a carriage.
The carriage carried the maids and servants to the village where Uncle Ming was buried, while Si Ying rode a horse to Yu State by herself.
The Great Prince of Yu State has controlled the government of Yu State for so many years, and he has enjoyed enough. Now it is time for him to face his own days of suffering.
Si Ying went straight in and sneaked into the Yu Kingdom Palace. Although it was heavily guarded, for her, it was like entering and leaving an empty place.
The people were surrounding the bedroom, thinking that the eldest prince, who was in the prince's mansion, had already hidden in the palace. He was still enjoying the delicacies fed by the beauties. The dancers in front of him were performing to their heart's content, but he felt a little irritated. He didn't know why he felt unusually uneasy today.
In recent days, the people outside have become increasingly uncontrollable, and his daughter, Hong Yanshan, whom he has always favored, has been defeated again and again, and has lost cities one after another. He is now somewhat shaken in his heart, wondering whether he should hand over his daughter in exchange for temporary stability and peace.
He also knew that Hong Yanshan had sent spies to lurk in the Great Zhou to capture Gu Chengyuan's sister. He had originally thought that his daughter wanted to vent her anger, so he acquiesced. However, he did not expect that Gu Chengyuan would actually be able to find out about Huicui Building. This was the secret line he had buried in the Great Zhou for ten years, and now it was all gone. In his heart, he actually felt a little regretful and blamed Hong Yanshan for having to vent her anger and causing him to suffer such a heavy loss.
In addition, now that people outside are complaining about Hong Yanshan, the prince is beginning to struggle with how to make a choice.
Then he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he found himself back to his youth.
Suddenly, a subordinate came in to report and handed over a secret letter. What a familiar scene, he still remembers it to this day. It said that the spy he sent had found out that his father had found the eldest sister who he and his mother had tried so hard to make disappear, and had even recognized her. The other party happened to be Liu Yanshu, the general of the Great Zhou who was now fighting against his Yu Kingdom.
At that time, he immediately came up with a plan and planned to make good use of this relationship, so he immediately sent someone to spread the news to Da Zhou, saying that Liu Yanshu's wife Yao Jiuyuan was the princess of Yu Kingdom, and he wanted to betray Yu Kingdom for his wife.
His plan was very successful, and the people of the Great Zhou began to panic. This also gave the old emperor of the Great Zhou an opportunity. He had long been afraid of Liu Yanshu, who had won many victories, so the old emperor quickly ordered Liu Yanshu to kill his wife to prove his innocence.
He knew that Liu Yanshu would definitely not kill his wife according to the order of the old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Besides, the slow-acting poison he had given his father had already taken effect. He knew that his father had written another letter to his eldest sister Hong Jiuyuan. Unfortunately, his father had learned his lesson and he did not intercept the letter. But it didn't matter. He guessed that Liu Yanshu and Hong Jiuyuan would come to see his father for the last time.
So the prince gave his men the same order he had given more than ten years ago, just like he had done before, to kill the couple.
"Hahahahahaha", the eldest prince laughed loudly, "No matter how many times, I can kill you. It doesn't matter if I'm a legitimate son. In the end, I'll still be the one who rules Yu Country! It will always be me!"
Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed and all the illusions disappeared. The prince looked at the bedroom which had become dark and empty.
"Do you think you won?" Suddenly a cold voice sounded in the hall, and the prince quickly looked around.
"Who?! Who's talking? Come out!"
All the candles in the hall were suddenly lit, and the whole hall was suddenly bright. The prince saw a woman standing in front of him. Her face was exactly the same as the eldest sister he had secretly seen in the dark that year.
"You?! Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?" The prince stepped back in fear and asked in panic.
"Who am I? Don't you know who you killed? Now I am here to take your life."
Si Ying spoke coldly, her icy eyes filled with murderous intent.
"You, you, you, someone come, someone come quickly!"
The prince quickly called for the palace guards to protect him, but no one came after he shouted for a long time. There was silence all around, and only his voice kept echoing.
"Don't come over here, sister. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time. Go away quickly. Today, I will let you go just because we are siblings." The eldest prince thought his reason was very good. He hid in a corner and asked Si Ying to leave quickly.
"Haha, I said, I'm here to kill you. After I take your life, I'll leave." Si Ying picked up an ordinary long sword and slowly walked towards the prince.
The prince was extremely frightened, and then he saw Si Ying's shadow cast by the candle on the ground.
"You are not a ghost, hahaha, you are not a ghost, I am not afraid of you. Bitch, you dare to pretend to be a ghost to kill me!"
The prince seemed to gain confidence in an instant and was no longer afraid. He picked up his sword and slashed at Si Ying.
Si Ying dodged cleverly and slashed back with a sword to cut off one of the prince's arms.
"Back then, the people you sent hacked Hong Jiuyuan and his wife to death one by one. Now you should have a taste of your own medicine."
As he spoke, Si Ying chopped off one of the prince's legs with another sword.
The eldest prince screamed “Ah, ah, ah” repeatedly. He didn’t expect the woman in front of him to be so powerful. Before he could hurt her, his hands and feet were chopped off by her.
He used his other intact hand, holding the knife, to continue slashing at Si Ying, and then Si Ying slashed his entire chest with a sword. Blood splattered all over the place, but not a drop fell on the woman in front of him.
He spat out a mouthful of blood in pain, his heart filled with resentment, "You, you are not the eldest sister, who are you?"
"As for me, I was entrusted by someone to come back to avenge her and kill you." Si Ying said coldly, raised her hand and swung the sword again, and the prince's hand holding the knife was instantly separated from him.
He fell to the ground in pain, breathing weakly, "You, you."
Si Ying interrupted him and said, "Back then, you sent someone to kill the eldest princess of Yu Kingdom, who had no intention of becoming the emperor. You also gave your father a chronic poison and finally forced the emperor's legitimate son to death. In the end, you controlled his infant son and became the regent of Yu Kingdom. You were very happy these years. You never thought you would end up like this."
As she spoke, Si Ying stabbed at the prince with her sword again and again, but avoided his vital points so that he would not die immediately.
The prince felt as if he was being pierced into a sieve. The pain in his body made him wish he could die immediately, but the opponent's next sword did not take his life. The most desperate and painful thing in the world is to be like him, living a life worse than death.
In the end, he was stabbed many times by Si Ying, and blood was all over the floor. Before he died, he heard Si Ying's faint voice, echoing clearly in his ears.
"Go to the underworld and confess to them!"
After killing the eldest prince, Si Ying brushed off the non-existent dust on her white clothes and left the bedroom.
