623 Why?

Liang Yulin could feel the grip on his hand weakening.

“Zheng’er, come and take a look if Prince Jin can still be saved,” he said to Xiao Hanzheng.

There was no so-called brotherly love or soft-hearted feelings.

He still remembered clearly how Prince Jin and his mother had tried to make things difficult for him and his mother.

However, they would benefit more now if Prince Jin was still alive.

Xiao Hanzheng had similar thoughts and understood immediately. “Okay!”

He let the two most powerful guards of Prince Yi to tie the North Prince up before walking in front of Prince Jin.

Prince Jin had already fallen unconscious, but he was still holding on to Liang Yulin and wouldn’t let go.

Xiao Hanzheng took Prince Jin’s pulse and then fed him a pill.

He then took out a golden needle and inserted it into Prince Jin’s chest where he was injured.

“The poison hasn’t spread to his heart yet, so he can still be saved.

“Get someone to carry him out while he lies on his back. Reduce any unnecessary movements.”

Although he didn’t die, Prince Jin’s body would be completely damaged if he survived.

Secondary Consort Hua must have chosen this poison on purpose.

As long as he was saved, he would not be able to leave his bed and his body would become so weak that he would not be able to stand the wind.

Liang Yulin nodded. “Alright!”

Then, he ordered someone to make a stretcher and placed Prince Jin on it.

Xiao Hanzheng squatted down and looked at Secondary Consort Hua. “She is really gone.”

Shi Qingluo had a good impression of Secondary Consort Hua. She walked over and asked, “How is it?”

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head at her. “She’s hopeless.”

He sighed. “Her expression was very peaceful, and there was a smile on her lips. She didn’t want to live.”

When Secondary Consort Hua tried to assassinate Prince Jin, she missed the position of his heart. However, when she committed suicide, she stabbed her own heart.

Coupled with the fact that she did not have any martial arts to protect her body, the poison quickly spread in her body through her heart, and even the heaven gods would not be able to save her.

Shi Qingluo looked at Secondary Consort Hua’s peaceful expression with her eyes closed.

She did not say anything.

However, she was prepared to give Secondary Consort Hua a grand burial in private after they left this place.

Prince Jin was tied up, and the princess from the previous dynasty was also detained by Prince Yi’s men.

Zhuo Jun was also tied up.

She bit her lip and looked at Xiao Hanzheng. “Can you tell me? How did you find out about my identity? ” she asked.

“Have you been paying attention to me?” she asked expectantly.

Her royal father had once said that if she wanted to act, she had to make herself believe it.

So when she was in the capital, although she had a good impression of Xiao Hanzheng, she always told herself that she disdained married men.

However, after she came to the northern border, she had encountered several problems when she was a county magistrate, and Xiao Hanzheng had helped her solve them.

So she didn’t want to lie to herself anymore. In fact, she couldn’t help but secretly fall in love with Xiao Hanzheng when she met him.

The dislike she had for Shi Qingluo was indeed an act.

However, she really didn’t like Shi Qingluo, so even though they were both women, they couldn’t become true friends.

She knew that she was jealous of Shi Qingluo.

Every time she saw how much Xiao Hanzheng doted on and indulged in her, she felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles.

She also wished that there was someone who would spend the rest of his life with her and be so considerate and kind to her.

However, the heavens did not spare a thought for her, and Shi Qingluo was the beloved child of the heavens. Why?

Xiao Hanzheng had not explained to her just now. How did he know her identity?

So she suddenly had a thought. Was it because he had been paying attention to her, and that was how he discovered it?

The fact that he had been paying attention to her meant that he still had her in his heart.

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know what Zhou Jun was thinking.

He said honestly, “It’s not because I’ve been paying attention to you. I found out about your identity by accident.”

“And this is all thanks to the North Prince.”

The North Prince, who was tied up and had a gloomy face, was stunned. What do you mean by that?”

“My men have been keeping an eye on Ge Chunru and her brother,” Xiao Hanzheng said.”Your concubine has also sent people to keep an eye on them.

“I followed these traces and found out that your concubine is Ge Chunru’s mother.

“Back then, one of you pretended to die on the battlefield, and the other pretended to fall into the river and disappear. The time between the two of you was very short, so I don’t think there could be such a coincidence.

“I dig out your identity as Zhuo Liang. with the help of your secondary concubine.

“With this, I can naturally find out what is wrong with Zhuo Jun.”

Hearing Xiao Hanzheng’s words, Zhuo Jun’s face turned pale. Her eyes were full of disappointment and sadness.

The North Prince did not expect Xiao Hanzheng to dig out his identity because of this, and he could not help but vent his anger on his concubine.

That woman had been with him for so many years and even gave birth to a son and a daughter with him, but she still couldn’t let go of Ge Chunru and her two siblings?

If she had not rgone to get someone to check on Ge Chunru and her brother, his identity would not have been exposed.

Originally, he had liked that woman’s son, but now he was also angry.

Prince Yi saw that it was almost time, so he ordered, “Take all the people and the treasure away.

“Yes!” The men he brought immediately went to carry the boxes and sacks.

Zhuo Jun couldn’t help but look at Xiao Hanzheng and said, “Xiao Hanzheng, I want to ask you one last question.”

Xiao Hanzheng looked at her coldly. “Go ahead.”

“Have you ever thought of me?” asked Zhuo Jun, her eyes filled with a gentleness that she had never felt before.

“If Shi Qingluo didn’t exist, would there be hope for the two of us?”

Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “You have two questions.

“But I’ll fulfill your wish and tell you everything.

“First of all, you’ve never been in my heart. When we first met, I only thought of you as a friend, just like Fang Zhijun.

“Secondly, my wife has always existed, so it’s impossible for the problem you mentioned to appear.

“Even without my wife, there wouldn’t be hope for the two of us. I know what kind of woman I like,” he added.

“If it wasn’t for my wife, I probably wouldn’t have gotten married and have children in my entire life.”

He had never met a wife in his past life and had been single.

He had never wanted to compromise in a relationship.

Zhuo Jun’s face turned pale again. Her eyes turned red, but she held back her tears.

She took a deep breath and said, “I understand.”

She had also given up completely.

Then, Prince Yi’s men pushed her to walk foward.

The princess from the previous dynasty walked out of the door and suddenly used her body to knock away the people holding her.

Her hands were tied up, so she used her head to knock on a key spot on the door.

Blood gushed out, which not only smeared the iron gate red, but the sound of something criss-crossing could also be heard on the path ahead.

The princess from the previous dynasty had also heard this sound.

“If I can’t get the previous dynasty’s treasurex, you can forget about getting them either,” she said with a sinister smile.

“I’ve reactivated the mechanisms in front of us. If anyone walk any further, it will trigger the mechanisms, and all of you will die.

“I burned the blueprint of the mechanism when you weren’t paying attention when Secondary Consort Hua tried to assassinate Prince Jin.

“I want to see how you all will get past.

“Hahaha, you’ll all be buried here today.”
