As soon as Zhou Heng went out, he began to give orders. “Mu Er, Mu San, Mu Si, and Mu Qi, arrest her immediately. Consort Li has an illicit relationship with someone else. Take her down immediately.”
“Lin Yi, Lin Liu, and Lin Ba, go and find out who she’s been in contact with recently.”
Zhou Heng instructed. He looked at Su Xiaolu and the children and said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, please stay in the palace for the time being to protect them and accompany your sister. I’ll handle this matter.”
This time, he would never let anyone take advantage of him again.
This was a serious matter. He had to act quickly.
This was because the slower he acted, the more resistance he would encounter.
Zhou Heng’s expression was unprecedentedly cold.
Sindili knew bewitchment techniques, but she was not a god. No matter how many people she had, she could not have more power than him, the Crown Prince.
Did she think that she could force him to compromise by hurting Su Xiaoling and making the entire court believe her?
Don’t even think about it.
His kindness would never become a knife for her to use against him.
Sindili did not care about the commotion in the main palace. She thought that after this move, she would definitely win because Zhou Heng had a benevolent heart.
She had imagined that even if Zhou Heng questioned her angrily, she would be able to find a reason to shut him up. However, Sindili never expected Zhou Heng to be so agitated that he would go crazy.
Zhou Heng knew that she knew Bewitching Techniques. She could capture people’s hearts and control them, but how could she control so many secret guards?
Zhou Heng was really crazy. In order to deal with her, he actually used so many of his people!
Jiang Wei was not bad, but she could not beat so many carefully nurtured secret guards and was quickly defeated.
With the sword at her neck, Sindili stabilized her flustered mind and looked at the murderous Zhou Heng. “Your Highness, if you kill me, how will you answer to the world?”
Sindili could tell from his eyes that Zhou Heng wanted to kill her.
However, she was certain that Zhou Heng would not dare. If she was an ordinary woman, he could kill her. However, she, Sindili, was the princess of the Li Dynasty. She had become the Crown Prince’s secondary consort for the alliance between the countries. If Zhou Heng killed her, how would he answer to the world?
The person at the tip of his heart would probably drown in the criticisms of ten thousand people.
“Secondary Consort Sindili, the princess of the Li Dynasty, is pregnant with an illegitimate child. Even if I want to kill you, it should be done by someone from the Li Dynasty. I don’t want to dirty my hands by killing you.”
Zhou Heng’s voice was cold. He naturally wished he could tear apart Sindili’s bones and skin her alive, but he couldn’t. Since Sindili had destroyed him, he would return it to her.
An impure foreign princess who had been divorced and sent back to the Li Dynasty. She had plenty of torture to endure.
Sindili’s eyes widened. Looking at the disgust and coldness in Zhou Heng’s eyes, she realized that she had made the wrong move.
She thought that Zhou Heng was kind, but she forgot that he was the future emperor. An emperor also had a vicious side.
She had known Zhou Heng for more than ten years, but she had never seen Zhou Heng so vicious.
She had also underestimated how much Zhou Heng valued Su Xiaoling.
“Whose child is this?”
Zhou Heng’s eyes were cold as he stared at Sindili’s stomach.
Sindili felt a cold light attack her. She shivered and gritted her teeth. “It’s yours, Crown Prince. Have you forgotten? You came to my palace before the new year. We did it when you were drunk. The child is yours.”
Zhou Heng would not kill her. At this point, she could only go all out.
How would she know whose child this was? She had left the matter to Jiang
Wei.
It was a seed that Jiang Wei had brought in from outside.
They didn’t care whose child it was. She just wanted to get pregnant.
But in order not to be exposed, the child’s father was definitely not a good person.
Because from the beginning, she had made up her mind to put this child under Zhou Heng’s name.
Sindili refused to admit it. Zhou Heng raised his hand and Jiang Wei was dragged in front of him. Zhou Heng took a sword from the guard and looked at Sindili. He raised his hand and stabbed Jiang Wei.
“Do you think I can only admit it if you don’t? Hehe—”
Zhou Heng sneered sarcastically.
Jiang Wei only let out a muffled groan.
Sindili struggled. “Stop, stop!”
Sindili felt like she was suffocating. She was afraid that Zhou Heng would kill Jiang Wei.
Zhou Heng sneered. “Whose child is this?”
He pulled out the sword and stabbed her again.
His brutality and ruthlessness made Sindili break down and scream, “Ahhh—Stop, don’t kill Jiang Wei.”
“Hehe—
Zhou Heng did not stop. Since Sindili refused to say anything useful, don’t blame him for being rude.
“I don’t know whose child it is. Stop. Don’t hurt Jiang Wei. The child isn’t yours. I had an affair with someone…’
Sindili looked at Zhou Heng. He was really crazy. If she refused to admit it, he would kill Jiang Wei.
What was she doing this for? If Jiang Wei died, what was the point of doing all this?
Sindili closed her eyes in pain and choked. “I took someone else’s seed. This child has nothing to do with you.”
Zhou Heng threw away the sword in his hand, and the maliciousness in his eyes dissipated.
He did not want to be so ruthless. Sindili had forced him.
He raised his hand and got his men to surround Sindili’s palace.
Now that Sindili was free, she immediately pounced on Jiang Wei and nervously picked her up to feed her medicine.
Zhou Heng left coldly.
Sindili’s tears flowed non stop. “Jiang Wei, it’s all my fault.”
Jiang Wei shook her head. She wiped Sindili’s tears. At this point, she had no choice.
In this world, there was no such thing as paradise. She and Sindili had extraordinary identities, so how could they live a peaceful life? Looking back at the past ten years, these were already the best days.
Zhou Heng stabbed her with the sword but did not injure her vitals.
She took the medicine and bandaged it.
After Zhou Heng took Sindili’s testimony, he went straight to meet the emperor.
The outside world had long known about the commotion in the East Palace.
When he received this news, Zhou Zhao was furious.
After smashing the entire study, he cursed, “Who does he think he is? How dare he do such a thing? There are so many eyes in the world watching him. He actually threatened a princess to confess for a woman! How dare he do this? How dare he abandon a princess?”
“Crazy, crazy—”
Zhou Zhao was furious.
He knew that Zhou Heng liked Su Xiaoling. He felt that this love would fade over time. At most, he would like her a little more than others. But now, from Zhou Heng’s attitude, it was obvious that he only wanted her.
How could the emperor only dote on one person? The imperial court was complicated. It was impossible for the courtier to let it slide.
Since ancient times, it had always been the emperor ruling on the outside, and the empress ruling on the inside.
The men fought for power, and the women from aristocratic families also fought for doting in the palace. They balanced each other and accepted the daughters of officials. This was an honor that the royal family gave to officials. After all, anyone’s family could become relatives to the future emperor.
When it came to Zhou Heng, there was only the outside and no inside. That was equivalent to cutting off this path..
