Zi'an laughed secretly. Liu Yue didn't make a move yet. Could it be that he wanted to wait until they finished their good deed? Indeed, to disrupt someone's good deed was like killing their parents.
A muffled grunt came from the prince's mouth, and then everything stopped.
Liu Yue's voice sounded slowly, "Is it done?"
The prince and Concubine Yi jumped up in fright. Concubine Yi sat up with the quilt and asked angrily, "Who are you?"
The person outside the door heard the sound and rushed open it. Siyan let out a roar and rushed over.
The two palace maids fled, and the prince's guards were able to resist temporarily, but Four Eyes was so ferocious that both of them were bitten during the struggle and dared not to act recklessly.
Liu Yue placed the dagger on the table, took out her Buddhist beads, turned them in her hands, and said politely, "Is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The prince put on his clothes in a hurry and flew into a rage, "How did you get in? Get out!"
"You have to leave, Prince, calm down. Buddhism is a quiet place, no noise is allowed!" She stood up slowly, turning the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said to Concubine Yi, "This silver woman, please go out first. I have something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Concubine Yi had already put on her clothes and felt extremely humiliated. There was murderous intent in her eyes. However, she did not have enough manpower in this Buddhist sect. Moreover, this person could come in silently, so he must be no simple person. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. After staring at Liu Yue, she went out.
In fact, it wasn’t that Liu Yue came in silently, but they were too engrossed in sports to notice it.
After Concubine Yi left, Zi'an continued to watch. She thought Liu Yue would first question her and then take action.
But Liu Yue did not play by the rules. As soon as Concubine Yi left, she picked up the dagger and rushed over.
Then, Zi'an heard the dirtiest curse words he had ever heard in his life, words like "bastard", "plop", "fuck your mother", "greetings to your ancestors" etc. Compared to what Liu Yue said, they were just everyday greetings.
Her words didn't contain many sexual connotations, only one or two, but they made people think of some dirty things. Some of the meanings were like "why do you want to pretend to be a big eagle when your bird is so small?", and these were a joy to hear.
But some things made Zi'an feel uncomfortable after hearing them, because she was greeting the ancestors of the Murong family in a strange way.
A more elegant translation would be something like "Is your family's grave filled with shit to give birth to a dog like you?" The Murong family's ancestral grave is really tired. As Murong Jie's wife, she expressed her regret. Anyway, it refreshed Zi'an's understanding of swear words.
But thinking of the prince's behavior and what would happen to Yi'er if she had arrived a step later, she became furious and said to herself: Go ahead and curse as much as you can, I'll hold down the coffin lid of the Murong family's ancestral tomb for you.
The prince was beaten so badly that he had no ability to fight back. Liu Yue's attack was vicious, hitting him only on the face and the roots of his genitals. He was not killed, but was half dead.
After Concubine Yi went out, she immediately called the people from the temple over. However, these monks did not practice martial arts on a daily basis and only chanted scriptures. They could not be beaten or scolded, so they just stood outside and stared.
When Zi'an saw Concubine Yi's resentful eyes, he knew he could not hide anymore, otherwise Yi'er and her daughter would be in trouble.
Concubine Yi hated her anyway, so it didn't matter if she hated her more.
She jumped down from the roof and landed in front of Concubine Yi.
When Concubine Yi saw her, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Is it you?"
"It's me!" Zi'an smiled, "Empress Yi, are you in such a good mood to come here to worship Buddha?"
"Xia Zian, how did I offend you?" Concubine Yi said coldly.
Zi'an shook his head, "No, don't worry, Concubine Yi, I'm very tight-lipped and I won't say a word that I shouldn't."
Concubine Yi threatened, "If you say a word, you will be courting death. Do you think that I can't do anything to you since you have Murong Jie protecting you?"
Zi'an shook his head again, "Empress Yi has misunderstood. The prince has never protected me. If he knew that I had offended the Empress, he would definitely take me to apologize to the Empress and then to the Empress Dowager's Palace to repent."
"Don't even think about using the Empress Dowager to pressure me. I'm not afraid. Even if you go back and tell her, how many people will believe you? I just came here to worship Buddha. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here. I'm the Seventh Prince's biological mother, and the ministers in the court won't tolerate you framing me."
Zi'an heard her say that she was not afraid of what she said, and then said that if she dared to say a word, she would be seeking death. It was obvious that she was very afraid.
Zi'an said, "Your Highness, I never interfere in your affairs, and I don't want to offend anyone in the palace. Today's incident is only about the Crown Prince, not you. You are here to worship Buddha, so go back after you're done. The Crown Prince's entourage died here, and the government will come to investigate. It's better for you not to have shown up."
Although she was not afraid of Concubine Yi, she did not want to create any more trouble. Her dirty deeds could be told by anyone, but she did not want to dirty her own mouth by saying it.
Concubine Yi stared at her, biting her lower lip, her eyes filled with hatred like flames, "Thank you for your reminder, Princess. I will keep it in mind and will never forget it."
After saying this, she raised her noble head and left with the palace maid.
After Liu Yue had fought enough, he stabbed the prince in the knee with a dagger, and heard a heart-wrenching scream. Liu Yue walked out with a calm and compassionate face, twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand, and said to Zi An: "Princess, let's go."
Zi'an said, "You go first, I still have to show my face."
Liu Yue looked at her and said, "Princess, there is no need to do this. Everyone has their own responsibility. I can handle this responsibility."
"No, I just don't like him, so I gave him one more punch!" Zi'an said quietly. She believed that Liu Yue could withstand the prince's revenge, but she could not withstand the queen's murderous hands.
After she finished speaking, she went in, stepped on the kang, pulled up the prince's collar, and said coldly: "This time it's a small punishment, but if it happens again, I'll kill you!"
"Xia Zian, I want you to die without a complete body!" The prince screamed hysterically.
Zi'an smiled coldly, "I'll wait!"
Anyway, they didn't intend to leave her body intact, and there were many people who wanted to take her life.
Thinking of what he had done to King Liang and what he had done to the original owner Xia Zian, she punched the prince again, hitting him right in the abdomen. The prince arched his body, unable to speak in pain.
Zi'an said coldly, "Your Highness, bear with it. I remember everything that happened in the May Courtyard. I remember how the prince beat me to death."
She walked out resolutely. It was up to her mother to decide whether to kill Xia Wan'er and Chen Linglong, but she was determined to take the prince's life.
When they were going down the mountain, Zi'an asked Liu Yue, "Yier said you have a blood antelope horn, is that right?"
Liu Yue was still turning the Buddhist beads in his hand, "No."
Yi'er said, "Mother, we have it. Why do you say we don't? It can save the princess' life."
"Shut up, what do you know? Stupid!" Liu Yue said viciously.
Zi'an knew that she was the Salt Gang leader Liu Yue mentioned by Liang Prince Song Ruiyang, but she was unwilling to admit it because she knew that Liang Prince was in the capital of Great Zhou. Once she admitted that she had the blood antelope horn and took it out, it would be equivalent to telling Liang Prince that she was here.
Song Ruiyang said with gritted teeth that he would deal with her.
I just don't know what else Liu Yue stole from Song Ruiyang that made him hate her for more than ten years.
Although Zi'an had some guesses, he didn't dare to draw a conclusion. He looked at Yi'er and found that she really looked a bit like Song Ruiyang.
