Chapter 160 Kill Her With Your Own Hands
"Xuer!"
Pei Yan looked at her in disbelief. It had been so long since Ping Ge'er's incident, why hadn't she let it go?
After a long time, he finally gave in and sighed heavily:
"You've really gotten into big trouble this time. I'm afraid I can't help you. I have a yard in the suburbs that no one knows about. You can go hide there first. I'll test the waters with Prince Jing first."
After sending the catkins away, Pei Yan felt an immense headache.
It is said that during the morning court session, Prince Kang brought his confession and assassins to the scene, accusing Prince Jing of regicide and treason in the Tongtian Tower case, and repeatedly organized assassins to kill him.
He even took off his clothes on the spot so that everyone could see the injuries on his body.
There are wounds on the chest and back, and there is not a single piece of good flesh to be seen!
His Royal Highness Prince Jing was caught off guard.
When the news reached the emperor, he spat out a mouthful of blood and ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to investigate the case.
Fortunately, Pei Heng did not tell anyone about Liu Xu.
Otherwise, the Marquis Jinyuan’s Mansion would have been surrounded by heavy troops by now.
Thinking of this, Pei Yan packed up and walked out of the cave.
A sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the cave.
"Your Highness..."
Before Pei Yan finished speaking, a hand warmer flew out of the sedan chair with a bang, instantly leaving a big gash on his forehead and blood gushing out.
Blood flowed down his face, but Pei Yan didn't dare to move.
"Idiot! Idiot! You can't do anything good, but you're more likely to cause trouble!"
In the sedan chair, Prince Jing's violent voice suddenly rang out.
"I told you to kill a little kid, and yet you still managed to cause such a disaster! Now the blame is on me, so you have to clean up your own mess!"
"If this affects my important affairs, Pei Yan, you will die!"
"Your Highness, please calm down. This matter was originally a sure thing, but it was Prince Kang who interfered, causing it to fail! Your Highness, I promise there will never be a next time!"
Pei Yan bent over, humbled to the dust.
"Next time?! There's a next time?"
Prince Jing was furious. He opened the curtain and kicked Pei Yan in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
"If it weren't for the muskets and gunpowder you presented me with, you'd be dead by now! We finally managed to suppress the Tongtian Tower case, but now this has happened, implicating the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. That Meng Youxing is notoriously difficult to deal with. If he finds us here, my cause will be ruined by you."
Covering his chest and gasping for breath, Pei Yan quickly turned over and knelt.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely take care of it."
Prince Jing bent down, pinched Pei Yan's chin and said harshly:
"Pei Yan, although your woman has some talents, you have to give her up now!"
"Your Highness! Xu'er..."
"She what? Pei Yan, think it through. Is your life and future more important, or is a woman more important?"
Prince Jing stared at Pei Yan with his scarlet eyes, which made his back feel cold and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength.
After a long time, he finally whispered:
"I see."
At this time, a guard came running over and said:
"Your Highness, all the people and things have been moved away. There are still some craftsmen and equipment left in the cave."
Prince Jing waved his hand and said coldly:
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
"Yes!"
Pei Yan watched as a group of guards rushed into the cave, and soon bursts of screams were heard.
Prince Jing looked at the distracted Pei Yan and said:
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I will help you."
"No!"
Pei Yan blurted out, kneeling on the ground helplessly, his eyes gradually becoming cold-blooded, and he said softly but with extraordinary determination:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Humph!"
Prince Jing snorted coldly, turned around and got into the sedan chair.
……
The setting sun.
Pei Yan dragged his heavy steps to the courtyard where Liu Xu was hiding.
Liu Xu was sitting in the house writing and drawing.
Seeing Pei Yan coming back, he said calmly without even raising his head:
"I've come up with another plan. This time I'm sure I can kill both of them in one blow."
Seeing that Pei Yan didn't say anything, Liu Xu looked up and saw him sitting on the couch with a gloomy look on his face. He put down his paper and pen and walked to Pei Yan.
"Pei Lang, I've thought about it, and you're right. I didn't think this through enough."
As she spoke, she sat down next to Pei Yan, holding his arms with both hands, and her tone slowed down a lot:
"I'm just anxious. Pei Heng is getting better day by day, and now he's been reinstated, with increasing power. If I don't take action now, it will become increasingly difficult to get opportunities in the future."
"Didn't you say that Pei Huan might be the posthumous son of the rebellious eldest prince? I've thought about it and will not try to assassinate him next time. I've already spread the news. Whether it's true or not, it's enough to make Pei Heng and his family suffer."
"Doesn't the Emperor hate the eldest prince the most? He will definitely not let Pei Huan go, nor will he let Pei Heng's family, who adopted Pei Huan, go."
"Su Li and her family are doomed!"
"Pei Lang, believe me, I will succeed this time. This time, not only can I avenge Brother Ping, but I can also remove a major obstacle for His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
"Pei Lang, are you listening?"
Liu Xu looked up at Pei Yan.
"Ok!"
Pei Yan responded without thinking.
"Okay, I know I was wrong! I acted rashly this time and made it difficult for you to report to Prince Jing. I'm sorry. I personally cooked your favorite dish for you. There's also soup stewing in the pot. Can I serve it to you now?"
Liu Xu hugged Pei Yan and coaxed him.
Pei Yan's dark face finally forced a smile. He gently patted Liu Xu's hand and said:
"I'll go get it."
"it is good."
Pei Yan entered the kitchen and looked at the soup steaming on the stove. He took out a packet of intestinal poison from his arms and poured it all into the soup with gritted teeth.
……
In the Marquis's Mansion, the Marquis walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking outside from time to time.
It was almost midnight, but the lights in the mansion were still on.
The old lady didn't sleep either. The people from the second and third rooms all gathered together, waiting anxiously.
Madam Hou held her forehead and her hands to her heart, feeling like she was going to faint in the next second. She grabbed Madam Qian's hand and asked softly:
"Did you find Yan'er and put him in hiding?"
Aunt Qian stamped her feet and replied:
"Oh, my lady! We've searched everywhere, but there's no trace of Brother Yan. I guess he's probably no longer in the city."
"Out of the city? That's fine too. As long as we're not caught by Pei Heng, Amitabha." The Marquis's wife patted her chest.
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler outside the door started mumbling:
"Back! Back!"
"The Crown Prince is back!"
The Marquis's wife stumbled and quickly helped Nanny Qian up. She saw Pei Yan walk in with a somewhat dispirited look. As soon as he entered the room, he looked at the whole family in surprise and said,
"What happened today? I just had a lot of official business at the government office and came back a little late, so why are you all here?"
"Rebel!"
The Marquis had already strode forward, raised his arm and slapped him hard.
There was a crisp snap.
Pei Yan seemed stunned, covering his face with his hands as he looked at the Marquis with a puzzled expression. Meanwhile, the Marquis's wife had already pounced on him with a cry of "Wow."
"Yan'er!"
"Dad! Why did you hit me for no reason?"
