“…”

In fact, Zhao Shi guessed well. Yingying was indeed waiting for him, but at the same time she would not let Concubine Shu go.

Zhou Zishan is the bottom line of his aunt, and also Yingying's bottom line. Yingying dared not think about what Shufei would do to him after she caught Zhou Zi. Qin Rong's secret guard had already broken into the Zhao Mansion, but found nothing.

"Where is Zhou Zishan?" Yingying knew very well that Concubine Shu must know where Zhou Zishan was.

Concubine Shu's eyes contracted, and she took two steps back and was pulled by Yingying. In horror, she screamed: "Gu Shanshan, what are you doing? If you dare to touch me, King Anping, will not let you go!"

Yingying's back of her hand was scratched.

It would be fine if Concubine Shu didn't mention this name, but when she mentioned this name, Yingying took the initiative to move harder. She pulled Concubine Shu to the lake. Yingying pressed her head and let her face the lake, and asked again: "Where is Zhou Zishan?"

Concubine Shu was suppressed by Yingying, and she couldn't struggle and started calling out loudly. Yingying pressed her head into the lake without blinking. After a while, she picked it up and asked, "Where is Zhou Zishan?"

Concubine Shu's makeup was all wet with her cheeks. She was panting and her face was pale. As soon as she came out of the water, she coughed violently and cursed Yingying: "You little man, when King Anping comes, I will let him cut you into pieces!"

"Aren't you looking for Zhou Zishan? I insist that you won't see him in your life. Not only him, but even your aunt, I'm not um..."

This time, before Concubine Shu finished speaking, Yingying pressed the person into the water.

"Do you think Jing Zhaoshi will come to save you?"

"He will indeed come, but when he arrives, he will only see your body."

The person in his hand was constantly struggling, Yingying grabbed her hair vigorously, her voice calm that she didn't even notice: "I'll ask you for the last time, where is Zhou Zishan?"

The people in the Imperial Garden have long been cleared, and the people around them are Yingying.

At this time, no one could save Concubine Shu, and the people outside didn't know what happened in Fengya Water Pavilion. Concubine Shu was completely honest after choking twice. Her tears stuck together, and she said with difficulty: "Don't kill me... I, I handed Zhou Zishan over to King Anping."

Why did King Anping keep Concubine Shu? It’s not because she could restrain Gu Manru.

Yingying was not surprised by this answer. After knowing where Zhou Zishan was going, she asked another question: "Why did you ask the Wenpo to replace my aunt's child in those days, both men and women?"

Concubine Shu was trembling and was very scared at this moment. Most of the lake water poured into her collar, and the cold wind seemed to be about to cut her skin.

Now there is nothing to hide. She choked and laughed madly: "Before I entered the palace, I knew that Gu Manru and Min Hua had an unusual relationship. When we entered the palace together, she became the queen by using the matter of Yufei. What's wrong with this palace? Since Min Hua looked down on me and thought of her, I would just help them!"

Who doesn't know that the Qianya and talented Prince Min Hua, who was Qianyao and talented, loved him and could not always hold a grudge against Gu Manru. After entering the palace, he saw Gu Manru "flirting around" several times. When Gu Manru was helped to the throne by Min Hua and others, her hatred spread even more uncontrollable.

Since Gu Manru became the queen and had no relationship with Min Hua, she would frame the Emperor Wu Cheng Gu Manru who was not a dragon seed, so she had a plan to change her children.

Concubine Shu thought that since she couldn't get it, she would destroy it all.

Min Hua deserves to die, Gu Manru deserves to die even more, but she didn't expect that Emperor Wu Cheng would execute the child secretly after learning about it. After all, Emperor Wu Cheng protected Gu Manru not because he loved her, but because the Gu family was standing behind Gu Manru, and he could not have a grudge with the Gu family.

This is exactly the same as Yingying’s guess. The only thing she didn’t expect was that the reason why Concubine Shu hated Gu Manru was because of Min Hua.

“There is one last question.”

Yingying grabbed Shufei's hand and started to feel sore. She lifted the person up and asked, "You went to the cold palace to torture my aunt. Is it your hatred or your order?"

This is also the answer Yingying wants to know the most.

Concubine Shu opened her mouth, wanting to answer but was afraid of something. Seeing Yingying pressing her into the water again, she grabbed Yingying's hand and cried and replied, "I said I'll tell you everything."

"It's An Ping'an! It's him!"

"Yes! It's the cold palace he allowed me to go to. He asked me to torture Gu Manru. Everything was done by him, and I just acted on order!"

"Gu Yingying, I beg you not to kill me, I promise I will never do anything to you again..."

The snow scene was vast, and Concubine Shu's voice was sharp and raised due to fear, and her crying echoed over and over in Fengya Water Pavilion. Yingying read hatred from Concubine Shu's eyes. This woman, like Zhang Lingxue, would continue to harm others even if she was alive. Today, Yingying treated her like this. In the future, she would double the humiliation to Yingying as long as she had the chance.

"ah--"

The strength was just a little relaxed, and Concubine Shu seized the opportunity and screamed and pushed Yingying away.

The snow was wet and Yingying fell back and sat on the ground. At this time, if Shufei wanted to run, she would have a chance to get rid of Yingying. But she was blinded by hatred. Not only did she not run away, she picked up the golden hairpin that fell on the ground and pricked Yingying fiercely.

"Gu Yingying, go to die!"

Yingying quickly turned her head, but she was still scratched her cheek by a sharp hairpin.

The furious woman's strength increased greatly, and Yingying couldn't control her for a moment. During the fight, Yingying snatched the golden hairpin from Shufei's hand. While Shufei was pinching Yingying's neck with both hands, Yingying also stabbed the golden hairpin into Shufei's neck.

Chi.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the warm liquid melted the snow on the ground, and a few drops sprayed on Yingying's cheeks. Shufei's eyes were wide open, and her hands were stiff on Yingying's shoulders. The blood vomited from her mouth slowed her breathing and fell to the ground with Yingying's letting go.

Look, killing is that simple.

Yingying looked at her blood-stained hands, knelt on the ground and scooped up a handful of snow, slowly wiping the blood on her hands.

The system gasped, this was the second time it saw Yingying kill someone, and he wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, he only said one sentence: [Host...]

Yingying responded softly, and saw that the blood on her hands were not wiped cleanly, so she simply inserted her hands directly into the snow. Although she was extremely calm at this moment, the system actually didn't know that her hands that were inserted into the snow had lost their strength.

She looked at the snow stained with blood on the ground and talked about her previous life without any reason: "It's better to be heartless. When I killed someone in my previous life, I didn't tremble my hands or beat my heart, and I wouldn't feel guilty if I was clean and neat."

"Actually, I don't want to kill Concubine Shu, but she is really bad. If I don't kill her, one day she will kill the people around me."

"Let me do this, I'll go copy the scriptures for her, hoping that she can be a good person in the next life."

As he thought so hard, a pair of boots suddenly appeared in front of him. Yingying looked up along the pair of embroidered golden auspicious pattern boots and saw Zhao Shi standing in front of her.

At this time, Yingying was kneeling and Zhaoshi was standing. The scars on Yingying's cheeks just came into his eyes. She frowned and Zhaoshi asked in a plain tone: "Did you kill her?"

Yingying pulled her hand out of the snow, looked down at him with just a glance, and she responded coldly: "Well, kill me."

"So what should the prince deal with this palace?"

Zhao Shi pursed his lips tightly and his eyes were quiet and cold on Yingying's face. It was not until Yingying couldn't help but look at him again that Zhao Shi turned around and walked to one side. He bent his knees and squatted beside Concubine Shu, glanced at the wound on her neck and said, "I am worthy of being the person next to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Empress is cruel enough."

The blood flows continuously, and one blow is fatal.

Yingying seemed to be unable to hear the mockery in Zhaoshi's tone, and got up from the snow and patted the falling snow on her dress. With the jingling sound, Zhaoshi saw the sachet hanging around her waist, which was the one he gave her before.

...She is still there.

In a moment of trance, Yingying had already walked to him.

Her dress today is very beautiful, the crimson skirt sways and ripples, like a pretty flower in the white snow. The sky is completely dark, and the last afterglow blends with the sky. Yingying looked at Zhao carefully with the last glimmer and said softly: "Concubine Shu said that it was you who ordered her to torture her aunt."

Zhao Shi's emotions were gradually retracted, and he had enough to look up at others. He stood up and pulled his lips, "So?"

Yingying said, "I don't believe her words. I just listen to you to say something in person, is it your order that she will torture my aunt?"

The glimmer of light dissipated, and under the hazy darkness, Zhao Shi was silent for a moment and replied: "Yes."

Bang-

As soon as the words finished, a loud slap fell, and Yingying slapped Zhao Shi heavily.

Zhao Shi was not prepared, and his finger marks quickly appeared on his cheeks. From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to hit him even when he was in a downturn. The vortex condensed in his eyes. He turned his head and picked up Yingying's collar and asked coldly: "Do you want to die?"

Tears were accumulated in Yingying's eyes. When she glared at Zhao angrily, she was not afraid of him at all, and even pulled his collar with her backhand.

"Jing Zhaoshi, do you know what I hate you the most?"

Yingying pulled Zhao Shi to approach herself. She was not as tall as him. Even if she looked up, she would not lose her aura. "What I hate the most is your arrogance and timidity!"

"Do you know why you can't compete with Qin Rong?"

"It is because you live too self-centeredly. You are always in your own world. Once you are hurt, you will shrink and hide in your shell and refuse to get close to you. You want to be a ruthless person, but in my eyes you are just the stupidest person, hopelessly stupid, deserve to lose to Qin Rong!"

Zhao Shi couldn't hear Yingying comparing herself with Qin Rong. He tightened his collar and overflowed coldly, "Say it again!"

"Jing Zhaoshi, you are ridiculous!"

After so long, Yingying couldn't remember how many letters she wrote to Zhao Shi. If he was willing to take a look, he would know that the death of Concubine Baoxia had nothing to do with her aunt.

"If you really want to know how your mother died, you should ask your good father, who concealed all the truth, and my aunt was also a victim of this matter!"

Yingying was pushed to the ground by Zhaoshi. Standing in the snow for a long time had already made Yingying stiff and cold all over. She sneered, "Jing Zhaoshi, are you stupid? Do you want to compete with Qinrong for the throne? But you can't even find out who the real murderer of killing your mother's wife is."

"What are you going to fight with Qin Rong like this?" Yingying's words were heartbroken, and she was so stubborn that she did not let the tears fall in her eyes.

She was disappointed with Zhao Shi, completely disappointed. Her ruthlessness in her previous life made her cherish her friends in the world, but unfortunately, she seemed to be the only one who stayed in her memories. The boy in her memory died after all.

"You are right. Goodbye, we can only be strangers." Yingying remembered what Zhao Shi said to her before leaving. Her aunt was her relative, and she would not blame Zhao Shi for not doing what she said.

Yingying came out today to explain these things to him. She has explained what she should explain now, and the rest is up to you or not.

Rows of candlelight lit up in the distance, reflecting into the lake, blurred and broken.

Before he knew it, the wind and snow seemed to be getting heavier again, and Zhao Shi's hair was stained with a layer of falling snow. He stood stiffly and cold all over his body, staring at Yingying with expressionless face for a long time.

Yingying slap him was very heavy, and after this moment, it was still hot and numb. No matter whether Yingying said true or false, after Yingying said those words, Zhao Shi's proud self-esteem did not allow him to bow his head.

There is no need to stay here. Zhao Shi stepped over Concubine Shu's body and walked forward. He did not stop. He just said coldly when he passed by Yingying: "This slap is regarded as the love of the past. From then on, you will be Qinrong's crown princess, and I will be the King Anping who is inferior to your husband in everything you say."

"See you again, I will no longer tolerate you."

So, did he show mercy to her before?

Wiping away the tears from his eyes with his sleeves, Yingying grabbed Zhao Shi's sleeve, "Wait."

Since it was about to be cleaned, it was broken completely. Yingying took off the sachet from her waist and stuffed it into Zhaoshi's hand without any thoughts: "This is the first time you gave me something with your heart. I have been keeping it for a long time before, but I think it's all my own deeds."

Yingying is not an overly soft-hearted person, and she can also ignore the friendship that Zhaoshi doesn't want.

Without looking at Zhao Shi, she looked at the corridor with candlelight and said lightly: "If you dare to hurt the people around me again, I will not let you go."
