Chapter 218 It turns out that he is the master's subordinate
Chu Li subconsciously dodged the man's attack, and Lan Yi suddenly appeared and blocked the opponent's attack with a sword.
"Your Highness, please leave here."
In the firelight, Chu Li saw that the man fighting with Lan Yi was Xiong Rong's confidant Ya Qing.
The two men fought fiercely, and soon, no one was seen.
Chu Li suddenly thought of something and immediately went to the city gate.
......
In the private residence, Concubine Rong learned that Rong Xiong was rebelling and forcing the emperor to abdicate.
She was nervous and excited.
Concubine Rong thought to herself: If her biological brother became the emperor, then she would be the true eldest princess.
Her brother dotes on her so much, and when the time comes, she will have all the wealth and glory she wants.
At the same time, she was a little nervous. If her brother failed, his entire clan would be wiped out.
Right now, it was still unknown whether her brother had succeeded or not, so she would feel more at ease waiting for news outside the city.
She thought for a moment and said to the servant, "Go prepare the carriage. I want to leave the city."
"Yes." The servant did as he was told immediately.
Concubine Rong disguised herself and left the city.
When they were about to reach an inn outside the city, her pounding heart finally settled down.
Suddenly, the horse raised its hooves and stopped. After the carriage stabilized, Concubine Rong asked in fear, "What happened?"
The servant boy and the groom had swords at their necks by Huanyan and her subordinates.
"Where is Concubine Rong going?" To Concubine Rong, Chu Li's voice at this moment seemed to come from hell.
She hurriedly lifted the curtain, and after seeing Chu Li's face, she said in horror: "Your Highness, my brother, Marquis Wu'an, is back. What do you want to do?"
Chu Li clapped his hands, and a man walked out from the darkness.
Chu Li looked at the furious man in a calm voice, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, she is the one who killed your child, I leave her to you."
The man looked at Chu Li gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Concubine Rong saw the man holding the dagger. He had only one hand and a ferocious expression on his seemingly honest face.
She was terrified, wondering if this man was the father of the baby.
"Listen to me, I can give you money to compensate you. I didn't kill the child, no!"
The man gritted his teeth, his expression extremely angry, "My soldiers and I lost one hand while guarding the border, just to protect a parasite like you?"
"Today, I want your life to be exchanged for mine!"
He kicked Concubine Rong down, and Concubine Rong got up and fled for her life despite the pain.
She ran and shouted, "Chu Li, save me!"
Chu Li scratched his ears and thought to himself, I’m not going to save you.
Chu Li did not save the dying, which angered Concubine Rong. She cursed: "Chu Li, if you don't save me, even if I become a ghost, I will come to find you every night!"
Chu Li was completely unmoved.
The man caught up with Concubine Rong and stabbed her in the abdomen with a dagger. Concubine Rong convulsed in pain and vomited blood instantly.
Chu Li sneered and looked at Concubine Rong.
"You have tried to kill me many times, and now you still want me to save you? To tell you the truth, I was the one who announced your crimes to the world in public. You have done so many bad things that you will be fried in oil and boiled in fire every day in hell. How can you have the time to come to me? By the way, Zhu Qunying is still waiting for you down there, and those women who were killed by you in the cold palace are also waiting for you..."
After killing the man and destroying his heart, Chu Li left.
Concubine Rong was so angry at Chu Li that she almost fainted. The man pulled out the dagger and she screamed.
The man thought of the tragic death of his child and stabbed Concubine Rong in the heart.
"what......"
When Chu Li heard Concubine Rong's miserable cries, he felt that this was the retribution she deserved.
This was also what she promised the baby's father, to let him kill the enemy with his own hands.
After a series of screams, Concubine Rong died with her eyes wide open at the hands of the angry father of the baby.
......
On the other hand, Rong Xiong was imprisoned by Pei Ye's imperial guards for treason.
Rong Xiong learned that his sister had been stabbed dozens of times and her body was left exposed in the wilderness.
"No!" Rong Xiong screamed in pain in the prison.
Emperor Qingyuan went to see Rong Xiong.
Rong Xiong's hands and legs were tied with iron chains.
After seeing Emperor Qingyuan, he cursed: "The most vicious emperor! Ha, you used me and my sister, who are you going to kill next?"
Emperor Qingyuan said calmly, "Many years ago, I heard that you wanted to support Concubine Rong's child to become the crown prince. From that time on, Concubine Rong was destined to be unable to get pregnant and was destined to only enjoy superficial glory."
Rong Xiong cried and laughed at the same time, "Don't make excuses. You like to be suspicious of others the most. That's because you are timid. You are afraid that someone will covet the kingdom you have worked so hard to obtain. Don't you know how you seized the kingdom in the past?"
Emperor Qingyuan grabbed Rong Xiong's neck and said, "You are about to die, yet you still want to show off your tongue!"
He picked up the knife from the table and handed it to the guard behind him, "Cut his tongue!"
"Yes!"
Rong Xiong cursed: "You will die a miserable death!"
"I have lived longer than you!" Emperor Qingyuan turned his back and said, "Execute him," as Rong Xiong screamed.
......
In the Taifu Mansion, a man stood respectfully in front of Ye Hanting.
"Master, Rong Xiong was indeed involved in the rebellion of the Xiaoyong Army. He instigated the grain transport officer to delay the delivery of grain to the Xiaoyong Army. When the Xiaoyong Army was exhausted, he went to rescue them, thereby gaining military merit. He also gave false testimony and reported that General Bai had the intention of rebellion. This is the evidence I found in his secret room."
Ye Hanting took the letter from Yaqing, opened it and read it, then said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work over the years."
"This is what I should do." Yaqing nodded.
Ye Hanting put away the letter. Although he knew what happened that year, Rong Xiong was not unrelated.
However, he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
......
Time flies, and more than two years have passed quickly.
Chu Li was practicing sword skills at the East Palace martial arts arena when she thought of the agreement she had made with Chu Yue.
Now that the agreed time has passed, there is no news from Chu Yue at all.
She asked around and Ye Hanting told her that Chu Yue had gone to Tianwu Mountain to learn martial arts from a master.
She's been gone for so long, she must have gained some skills.
When she was dancing with sword, Eunuch Li came.
Chu Li withdrew his attack and guessed that Eunuch Li must have come for Chu Yue's matter!
