Chapter 360 The mysterious man in black
Unexpectedly, Chu Li kicked the jailer, who immediately fell to the ground, holding his stomach.
"Your Highness, please spare my life. I don't know how I have offended Your Highness."
Chu Li looked at him coldly and cut the jailer's tendons with a knife.
"what!"
The jailer screamed.
"Take him away." Chu Li ordered the shadow guard.
Without waiting for the jailer to react, the shadow guard covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Chu Yue felt relieved. If she hadn't been tied up, she would have really wanted to chop down the jailer who took advantage of her misfortune and looked down on others.
Then, she watched Chu Li walk towards her step by step, and instantly a layer of cold sweat ran down her back.
Chu Yue looked at Chu Li in horror. Was she here to kill people to silence them? Was this necessary?
"What do you want to do?" Chu Yue's scalp tingled.
Chu Li looked at Huan Yan behind him and said, "Go get her some clothes to change into."
Chu Yue was horrified that Chu Li could be so kind.
Until Huanyan changed her clothes, Chu Li looked into her eyes and said.
"I understand the suffering you endured in the Golden Scale Kingdom. Anyone who has experienced that would go crazy. Your arrogance is just the armor you put on for your wounded heart. In fact, you are inferior and sensitive inside, and you really want to be recognized by everyone."
"So, you think that only by becoming a queen can you prove your ability and avoid being abused, despised, and looked down upon by others."
Chu Yue's pupils dilated, and her heart felt like it was being squeezed hard.
Unexpectedly, the person who understood her best in the world was Chu Li.
Chu Li continued, "However, you were blinded by hatred and only wanted to take shortcuts. You were unscrupulous and cruel, so you should reflect on your actions and be punished in prison."
"Chu Li, why did you help me get rid of that jailer?" Chu Yue asked anxiously.
"Because he doesn't respect women." Chu Li's words made Chu Yue burst into tears instantly.
She never thought that when she was being humiliated, the first person to come forward to help her would be Chu Li.
If there had been such a person back then, perhaps she would not have reached this point today.
Now she has fallen from power and is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by her father. Even her own brother doesn't even come to see her. She didn't expect Chu Li to be willing to help her.
She finally understood why so many people liked Chu Li.
Because Chu Li was also bullied in the palace in her early years, but she never belittled herself.
She has been working silently to fight against this unfair world.
Chu Yue's tears fell uncontrollably. She lowered her head, her expression unrecognizable.
Chu Li knew that no one in this world understood her, not even Mo Yun.
As a woman herself, when she saw Chu Yue being bullied by the jailer, she finally understood why she went crazy.
Because she had been treated as a human being and tortured by Long Moyang in a foreign country. The insults and pain she felt at that time were a hundred, a thousand times worse than what she feels now.
"Mo Yun will help you kill Long Moyang." Chu Li said this and left.
Chu Yue's eyes were red as she called out to her, "Chu Li, that jailer is the Second Prince's man, you should interrogate him carefully."
Chu Li nodded, "Thank you."
Chu Yue burst into tears after Chu Li left. Only today did she truly regret her decision.
Too bad she had lost everything.
......
The shadow guards escorted the jailer out of the prison, and the prison manager was terrified when he saw this.
Jogging all the way to catch up with Chu Li.
Chu Li said coldly: "This jailer touched me. If I find out about this again, I will hold you accountable!"
The prison manager was so frightened that he dared not say a word and just watched Chu Li leave.
Chu Li led the frightened jailer to a dead end.
"Tell me, how much benefit did the Second Prince give you? What is he going to do?"
The jailer’s face turned pale and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Li.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince's men gave me five hundred taels of silver and asked me to interrogate you and find out what secrets you have."
Chu Li sneered, it turned out to be the work of the second prince.
Her previous guess was correct. The second prince was either a kind person or a dangerous person.
It is now confirmed that he is the latter.
"Your Highness, I will follow your lead from now on. Please don't kill me."
Chu Li smiled coldly and looked at the shadow guard, "Throw him into the palace and hand him over to Emperor Qingyuan for disposal."
"Oh, no!" The jailer was going crazy.
He picked on all the female prisoners who were in the women's prison, but he never played with the princess.
He thought that *** had lost power and even her own brother ignored her, but he didn't expect that the prince would come to support ***.
The jailer had his mouth gagged with a rag by the shadow guards, and was tied up and thrown into the palace.
Immediately afterwards, the manager of the Heavenly Prison came to the palace to report the matter to Emperor Qingyuan.
Emperor Qingyuan had the jailer interrogated and found out that he had been bribed by the second prince.
He secretly clenched his fists, wondering why the Second Prince was so impatient.
He also thought that the second prince was the most like him, and like him back then, he would be able to hold on until the last moment of the fight for the throne and kill the crown prince, thus becoming the winner.
Although he also wanted to know what the secret about Chu Li that Chu Yue mentioned was.
Chu Li, throwing this jailer into the palace is telling his father that he doesn't need to go through as much trouble as the second prince.
At the same time, let him know that the second prince is not simple either.
Emperor Qingyuan smiled.
Chu Li and the second prince, who stayed until the end, are truly worthy of being members of the Chu family.
A lot of tricks.
What secrets could Chu Li have? Could he be training his troops in private?
The best thing would be that he would just wait quietly to catch Chu Li's tail.
......
As for the Second Prince, he had just taken over the Imperial Guards and was so busy that he didn't come back until very late.
As soon as he sat down, he saw a person walking out from behind the screen.
"The Second Prince asked me to wait."
The second prince smiled and looked at the man in black, "You are here."
The man in black smiled faintly, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for gaining control of the Imperial Guards."
The second prince smiled gently and poured him a cup of tea.
"The road ahead is difficult. I sent someone to inquire about Chu Li's secret. That person was sent to my father by Chu Li and has been executed."
The man in black raised the teacup with his slender fingers, took a sip of tea, and then put it down.
"As long as you cooperate with me, Your Highness, I can help you kill Emperor Qingyuan and let you take the throne directly."
The second prince stroked the cup, "My father was suddenly killed, and Chu Li is still the crown prince, so it is natural that he will inherit the throne."
"Force Emperor Qingyuan to write the imperial edict, and then kill him." The voice of the man in black was extremely calm.
The second prince's eyes were gloomy, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, this prince does not want to go to that step."
"From what Chu Yue said in the hall today, it seems that he knows some big secret of Chu Li. I don't know what his trump card is yet, so I dare not act rashly."
Hearing the second prince's words, the man in black paused while holding the teacup.
He knew Chu Li's secret, but he didn't want to tell the second prince.
