Chapter 90: The Crown Prince's Woman? She Didn't Die Unjustly!

"Later, later they all died."

Old Zhang Tou's expression didn't change, speaking the most cruel words in the world in an indifferent tone.

"How could they all die. They were the Crown Prince's people. The Crown Prince is still sitting in the Donggong."

Lu Datou didn't understand.

With such a big backer, how could they die.

Old Zhang Tou laughed coldly and looked at Chen Guanlou. "Surprised?"

Chen Guanlou nodded and shook his head. "Grace comes from above; whether to die or not is just a thought of the noble."

"You kid are transparent, worthy of being someone who has read books, you know a lot. Unlike Datou, who has lived for decades in vain, not as good as a young man like you."

Old Zhang Tou despised Lu Datou.

Lu Datou didn't agree. "Don't slander me first, say first how the Liu family died. I'm too curious."

Old Zhang Tou clearly hesitated for a while, but finally continued to narrate the story with an emotionless tone, coldly, "Wang relied on being the Crown Prince's wet nurse, pointing fingers in the East Palace, not even giving the Crown Prince's wife face, actually intervening in the affairs of the Crown Prince's harem. Liu Mingchang was also restless, relying on the status of the Crown Prince's wet nurse's husband, taking a post in the Imperial Household Department, nominally collecting money for the Crown Prince. Finally, this couple was both disgusted.

Wang was given poisoned wine, and Liu Mingchang was sliced five hundred times, the decree issued by the Emperor himself. Most of the others in the Liu family died, they should all be dead."

After saying these words, Old Zhang Tou's emotions were rarely a bit low, as if he remembered the unbearable past.

Chen Guanlou's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he had a bold guess. "Liu Mingchang was sliced; could it be that Uncle Zhang personally moved the knife?"

Lu Datou:...

What? What was it? Old Zhang slicing?

Old Zhang Tou knocked on the pipe, glanced at Chen Guanlou, and said, "A smart person like you, how could you mix in the Heavenly Prison, it's really a waste.

That's right, I don't know what Liu Mingchang did, the Emperor hated him, actually issued a decree to slice him to death. The Embroidered Uniform Guard's hands were raw, and there hadn't been a slicing case in the court for decades, and the craftsmanship was lost.

Finally, the Embroidered Uniform Guard invited me to perform the execution personally, five hundred cuts, not one more, not one less. Originally, the Emperor required slicing one thousand times; it is said that the Crown Prince knelt and begged for mercy, so it was reduced to five hundred times. Because it was the family affair of the Heavenly Family, this matter was not made public, and it is normal that you don't know."

Lu Datou was shocked to the point of not being able to close his mouth. He was a bit excited. "This slicing craftsmanship, it is said that it is all passed down from the executioner family. To slice meat, and ensure the person doesn't die. It is said that the meat on the chest is gone, all bones, and the heart inside is still beating, is it true? Old Zhang, you are awesome, you actually know this hand. You, you, you, you are wronged in the torture room."

Old Zhang Tou snorted coldly. "Executioner counts as a fart; that little technical content of killing people is not enough to carry shoes for the torture room. The executioners in the capital, count one by one, if I don't say big words, no one knows the real slicing craftsmanship. None!"

"Old Zhang, you are the only one in the capital who knows the slicing craftsmanship, right?"

Old Zhang Tou didn't make a sound; silence represented recognition.

"Liu Mingchang should have brothers." Chen Guanlou pursued. He didn't care about the slicing craftsmanship; he now felt that he was very close to the truth, as if a step away.

"Yes!" Old Zhang Tou said indifferently, "Even if there are, they all died."

Chen Guanlou turned his head and looked toward the backyard. Liu Shi, could it be the Liu clan member of the same clan as Liu Mingchang? Liu Shi, could it be a survivor of the Crown Prince's wet nurse's husband case.

This case would definitely not be seen in any case files. That was a family affair of the Royal Family, killing the Royal Family's slaves, and court officials were not allowed to ask.

If Liu Shi was really of the same clan as Liu Mingchang, Li Dahong was too bold, not wanting his life for the sake of a woman. Then Li Dahong's death was likely related to the palace.

However, why was Liu Shi still alive?

He suddenly stood up, startling Lu Datou on the side.

He lifted his hand slightly, signaling Lu Datou not to panic. "I'll go to the back to see. It's dry and windy, be careful of fire. A lot of funeral money was collected in the past two days, be careful of thieves."

"Makes sense, it should be guarded against thieves running to steal the funeral money."

Chen Guanlou passed through the corridor and came to the archway. He called softly, "Come out, I know you are hiding behind the wall."

In the moonlight, a weak figure walked out slowly; it was Liu Shi who should be resting at this moment.

I saw her face full of tears, miserable and helpless, as if the sky had collapsed.

Chen Guanlou sighed secretly. "What is Liu Mingchang to you?"

"He is my uncle." Liu Shi sobbed.

Chen Guanlou thought, sure enough, sure enough, it was a descendant of the Liu family.

"Your age?" Would it be too young.

Liu Shi wiped the corners of her eyes gently. "My father was the late child of my grandparents, fifteen years younger than my uncle. My father was talented since childhood and was highly valued by the Crown Prince, running around for the Crown Prince. When the incident happened, we didn't get any wind, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard brought people away like wolves and tigers."

"Then what's the matter with you? Why did you marry Li Dahong?"

"It was the Crown Prince's wife who secretly protected me and arranged for me to be taken care of by my husband."

"Is your brother really still alive?"

"Alive, just living worse than death. The Emperor showed mercy and left a bloodline for the Liu family, which is my brother, but he was exiled thousands of miles away, working in the mine. If he doesn't die after ten years, he can get out."

Liu Shi said this, already crying. Her body was soft, and she could only barely support herself by leaning against the wall.

Chen Guanlou sighed secretly.

Anyone who saw Liu Shi's appearance would feel pity and sympathy.

But he didn't reach out to help the other party. If it were any other man with an impure mind, he would have pushed the boat with the current and held the person in his arms.

"Your age... before the incident, were you not married?"

According to the tradition of women marrying at fifteen or sixteen, they should start looking at marriage at thirteen or fourteen. Before the incident, why didn't the Liu family look for a marriage for Liu Shi.

Liu Shi clearly had unspeakable hidden feelings, twisting for a long time before saying, "I originally served by the Crown Prince's side, and didn't have a status yet."

What?

Li Dahong actually slept with the Crown Prince's woman? He had the guts of a bear! He didn't die unjustly.

"Wait, you just said it was the Crown Prince's wife who protected you, and arranged for Li Dahong to take care of you?" Chen Guanlou discovered the amazing truth.

"Exactly!"

The Crown Prince's wife was harboring evil intentions! Not letting Liu Shi die, but using this method to humiliate Liu Shi. The former woman of the Donggong, now reduced to a prison guard's wife. The status was heaven and earth, falling directly from the Heavenly Court to the mortal world, or into the quagmire.

The Crown Prince's wife's method of humiliating people was truly, directly crushing people mentally, and also earning a good reputation for being heavy on feelings and righteousness.

"You..." Was it really a silly white sweet, or was it all acting?

"The Crown Prince's wife protected you, are you grateful to her?" Chen Guanlou asked implicitly. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
