The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 279: keep her forever
Chapter 279 Guarding Her Forever
“It’s okay! It’s okay, I will never let anything happen to you…” Li Tianfu hugged Lu Tianzhuo tightly and screamed like crazy, “Li Zhijie! Call a doctor! Quick! If anything happens to him… I will let all of you be buried with him!”
Lu Tianzhuo opened his mouth, and blood came out of it…
He wanted to tell Li Tianfu that if there was an afterlife, he would definitely stay by Li Tianfu’s side, but in the afterlife… he didn’t want to be a eunuch anymore. He wanted to be Li Tianfu’s man, her husband, to protect her and guard her for the rest of her life.
But before he could finish his words, Lu Tianzhuo’s pupils blurred and the fingers that were holding Li Tianfu slowly loosened their grip.
“Lu Tianzhuo! Lu Tianzhuo!” Li Tianfu cried heartbreakingly, “Don’t leave me! Lu Tianzhuo… you promised to stay with me! Lu Tianzhuo, get up! Get up!”
Bai Qingyan was standing behind Li Zhijie, looking at Li Tianfu, whose clothes were stained with blood, desperate and collapsed. Only then did he guess that the relationship between Li Tianfu and Lu Tianzhuo was probably unusual.
At this moment, she already understood why Lu Tianzhuo was determined to kill her. This Lu Tianzhuo… was Pang Pingguo’s adopted son.
After she cut off Pang Pingguo’s head and destroyed Shu, the emperor ordered the extermination of Pang Pingguo’s nine clans. Her grandfather advised the Emperor of Jin to spare Pang Pingguo’s family and there was no need to create further killings.
I never thought that such a disaster would be left behind.
Li Zhijie was afraid that the Crown Prince of Jin would see their princess, who came to marry, holding the corpse of a eunuch, which would cause the Crown Prince to be disgusted. So before the Crown Prince came in, he ordered people to pull Lu Tianzhuo and Li Tianfu apart.
“Let me go! You bastards, how dare you attack me! Give Ah Zhuo back to me! Li Zhijie, are you tired of living?” Li Tianfu’s whole body was shaking, and she was shouting at the top of her lungs, like a mad beast about to go crazy. “I am the Princess of Xiliang! If anyone dares to attack me, I will kill all nine generations of your clan!”
“Her Majesty the Queen Mother has ordered that all matters concerning the peace and marriage be handled by me. I am granted the power to make arbitrary decisions!” Li Zhijie looked at the guards and maids who were pushed away by Li Tianfu frantically with a gloomy face, and said through gritted teeth, “Send the princess back to bed and eat. The princess is not allowed to take a single step without my order, otherwise… I will take your heads!”
Li Tianfu struggled, screamed and cried, calling Lu Tianzhuo’s name in despair and pain, but was still carried up by the strong guards and sent to the dormitory.
When the Crown Prince, Xiao Rongyan, and Bai Jinzhi rushed in with the Crown Prince’s palace soldiers and the Bai family guards, they saw a scene in which Lu Tianzhuo was dead… and Li Zhijie was seriously injured.
Just now, Xiao Rongyan happened to be in the Prince’s Mansion. He was telling the Prince about accompanying Emperor Yan and his second son Murong Li on a lake cruise today. He said that the eunuch Feng Yao, who had business with him, learned that he had a pleasure boat and invited him to accompany them.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished talking to the prince, the guards from the Bai Mansion came over with a brocade box.
When Xiao Rongyan heard that Bai Qingyan took the Sun-Shooting Bow to the posthouse to ask Li Zhijie for someone, he felt worried, so he rushed over with the prince.
At the moment, Bai Qingyan was unharmed. Xiao Rongyan looked at Li Zhijie with a gloomy gaze.
“Eldest sister!” Bai Jinzhi saw Bai Qingyan behind Li Zhijie, drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at Li Zhijie, his eyes red, “Li Zhijie, where is my second brother! Hand my second brother over!”
Not only Bai Jinzhi wanted Bai Qingqiong, even the people outside were also excited… they all shouted for Xiliang to hand over the second son of the Bai family.
“What’s going on?” The prince’s face was gloomy.
Bai Qingyan put away the Sun-shooting Bow and looked at the Crown Prince, kneeling down and kowtowed: “Your Highness, in the gift box that King Yan sent to the Bai Mansion today, there is a ring for my second brother’s archery and a letter, asking me to come to the posthouse alone! After I arrive, Li Zhijie said that he will ask for my fourth sister’s hand in marriage at the birthday banquet of Your Majesty tomorrow. If I help him realize his wish, he will return my second brother to me!”
Bai Qingyan kowtowed to the prince and said, “Your Highness, please seek justice for the Bai family! I want my second brother back.”
Li Zhijie’s face turned pale. Bai Qingyan was too frank with the prince!
Xiao Rongyan looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with a resolute expression, and concealed the smile in his eyes. No matter what happened, the more honest Bai Qingyan was to the prince, the more the prince would trust Bai Qingyan.
I think Bai Qingyan already understands what kind of subject the prince wants.
As long as the prince believes that Bai Qingyan is loyal, even if Bai Qingyan gets into a huge mess… within the prince’s ability, he will keep Bai Qingyan safe.
The incident happened so suddenly that Li Zhijie didn’t have time to think about it. He quickly said, “Your Highness, I fell in love with Princess Gaoyi of Jin at first sight on Youhua Road that day. I learned that the Emperor of Yan wanted to marry Princess Gaoyi to the Ninth Prince of Yan, so I came up with this bad idea!”
“I don’t care what you’re up to. Since you’re threatening me with my second brother, either you return my second brother to me now! Or I’ll chop you to pieces alive and then go to Yunjing to kill your entire family!” Bai Jinzhi was so angry that veins bulged on the back of his hand as he gripped the hilt of the sword.
Bai Jinzhi’s voice was irritable and firm. Li Zhijie looked at the prince who was looking at him with a stern face, and knew that something was wrong. He closed his eyes, covered the wound on his shoulder, and followed Bai Qingyan’s example, confessing to the prince, pretending to accept his fate and bowing his head…
“Your Majesty, I only have this ring in my hand, and it was the dead servant who gave it to me. He was the one who came up with the idea. He said that this method could not only help me marry Princess Gaoyi, but also make the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Jin suspicious of Princess Zhenguo. If Princess Zhenguo no longer leads troops, Xiliang can breathe a sigh of relief. But… I didn’t expect that he would actually kill Princess Zhenguo!”
Bai Qingyan’s eyebrows twitched, and there was a deep murderous intent in his eyes.
From the moment she first met Li Zhijie, she knew that he was an extremely intelligent man. However, she did not expect that he had the courage to burn his boats. He was not afraid of being blamed by the State of Jin and the Crown Prince, and revealed his entire plan, half true and half false.
“King Yan has pushed all the blame onto a dead man. Do you think this is the end? It was you who brought my second brother’s ring to my house! Today, either you hand over my second brother, or you pay with your life!”
Bai Qingyan spoke every word with a voice so cold that it made people feel cold in their bones.
The prince’s eyebrows jumped. Bai Qingyan always kept his word, but as the crown prince of Jin, he could not let King Yan of Xiliang die in the capital of Jin. He hurriedly said, “Princess Zhenguo…if you trust me, let me handle this matter. You and Princess Gaoyi are too concerned and may be biased.”
Bai Qingyan tightly grasped the Sun-shooting Bow and remained silent for a long while before speaking: “I believe in the prince!”
The prince breathed a sigh of relief.
“But…” Bai Qingyan looked at Li Zhijie, “I want King Yan to swear to the gods to protect my second brother. If anything happens to my second brother, the entire Yan King clan will not be able to have a good end!”
