622 A series of reversal
The North Prince’s eyes widened. He had not expected Xiao Hanzheng to dare to treat him like this.
“Xiao Hanzheng, you’re looking for death!” He said through gritted teeth.
This was the first time in his life that he had been knocked on the head in such a humiliating manner.
Xiao Hanzheng’s face was calm. “Your Highness, don’t forget who’s holding you hostage now.”
He used his other free hand and patted the North Prince’s face. “Didn’t you want to capture my wife and bring her back to the North Prince’s residence? Are you still going to capture her back?”
The North Prince was speechless. He understood that Xiao Hanzheng was taking revenge.
He was even more upset.
He had just been thinking about how to capture Xiao Hanzheng and torture him, but now he was under his control.
However, he had also made up his mind that as long as he returned to the Ge Kingdom alive, he would not let Xiao Hanzheng go.
“Xiao Hanzheng, I will make you pay for your audacity today.”
He doubted that Daliang would dare to kill him.
Otherwise, it would definitely cause unrest at the borders of the two countries.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled nonchalantly. “Since I dared to do it, I’m not afraid of Your Highness ‘revenge.”
The North Prince still wanted to return to the Ge Kingdom? What was he thinking?
Liang Yulin also laughed. “North Prince, you’re a prisoner now. Don’t be too ambitious.”
He smiled again, but his eyes were cold. “Hanzheng is my eldest son. I will not let you do what you want in his presence.”
It was rare for the North Prince to come to their door. If they let him go, wouldn’t they be too stupid?
The North Prince held his breath but did not say anything else.
He kept thinking, trying to find a way out.
Suddenly, another unintended incident happened.
Zhuo Jun rushed behind Prince Jin.
She strangled his neck with one hand and held a sharp dagger to his neck with the other.
“Xiao Hanzheng, let my father go, or I’ll kill Prince Jin,” she said coldly as she looked at Xiao Hanzheng.
She didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to be so smart.
He had found out her identity and deliberately set a trap for them to jump into.
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “You’re threatening me with Prince Jin? ”
Zhuo Jun’s voice trembled. “No matter what, Prince Jin and Prince Yi are brothers. If you force Prince Jin to his death, there will be chaos at the northern border. Do you dare to take this risk?”
“You do have a point,” Xiao Hanzheng smiled.
Zhuo Jun bit her lip. “If you let my father go, I will let Prince Jin go. We will also give up the treasure here.”
She was not stupid. Her father had been backstabbed. It would be good enough if he could return to the Ge Kingdom alive. He would not be able to take the treasure with him.
Prince Jin had never thought that there would be a day where he would become a hostage.
Furthermore, he was held hostage by someone he had taken advantage of and looked down on. He was so depressed that he wanted to vomit again.
He didn’t say anything but looked at Xiao Hanzheng, wondering what he would choose.
Xiao Hanzheng didn’t say anything either. He seemed to be considering it.
Zhuo Jun felt that he had made the right bet.
She looked at Xiao Hanzheng and felt a little sad.
This was the man she truly liked, but they were enemies.
Originally, when she saw her father caught Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, she was secretly happy.
She thought that when she returned to the Ge Kingdom, she would go and tell her father to give Xiao Hanzheng to her.
Who knew that he had everything in his plan?
She had to admit that he was indeed the man she liked. He was just so amazing.
“For Mr Xiao to be so hesitant, is it because you don’t care about me?”
“The northern border is my territory, ” Liang Yujun said, displeased. “If something happens to me because of you, the northern border will be in chaos.”
He hated being the choice of others the most. In the past, his father did not choose him to succeed the throne.
Now that his life was under Xiao Hanzheng’s control, he was extremely aggrieved.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at Prince Jin indifferently. “Your Highness is right.”
Although he said so, he didn’t say how he would choose.
Then, a sudden change occurred.
Secondary Consort Hua, who was standing beside Prince Jin, suddenly pulled out a sharp gold hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into Prince Jin’s chest.
Such an unforeseen event shocked everyone.
Liang Yujun looked at Secondary Consort Hua in even more disbelief. “Have you gone crazy? ”
Secondary Consort Hua’s face turned pale. “I’m not crazy. The person I want to kill is you.”
Liang Yujun felt the pain in his chest and couldn’t help but reach out to cover it.
He couldn’t figure it out, so he asked, “Why? I have never mistreated you all these years.”
Secondary Consort Hua suddenly laughed out loud. As she laughed, tears flowed down her face. “You didn’t treat me badly? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how you forcefully brought me back to Northern City to be your secondary consort?”
Her face was filled with sorrow. “Have you forgotten how you caused my fiancé’s death?
“Don’t you know how Ruan Songling killed my brother and sister? ”
Now, her family had indeed benefited from the Prince Jin’s manor, her immediate family members had already been killed by Prince Jin and Ruan Songling.
“I’m going to avenge them today. I’ve been waiting for this day for too long.”
She pulled out her hairpin again. “Liang Yujun, a fickle and vicious person like you has no right to be the lord of the world.
“That’s why no matter how much the late emperor doted on you, he didn’t dare to hand over the country of daliang to you.
“And do you really think that you can rebel with your ability? Why can’t you see yourself clearly? You can’t possibly succeed.
“If your rebellion is successful, it will be a real disaster for Daliang.
“So today, I’m doing a good deed for the people by getting rid of you, a scourge.”
After she finished speaking, she did not hesitate to stab the golden hairpin into her heart.
This action made Shi Qingluo’s heart tighten. It turned out that Secondary Consort Hua had long been prepared to die.
No wonder she made her promise to spare Liang Mingyu’s life.
When she entered the room, she winked at Secondary Consort Hua, indicating that she agreed.
However, she really didn’t expect that Secondary Consort Hua would kill Prince Jin and even commit suicide.
After Secondary Consort Hua committed suicide, she quickly fell to the ground, and her face quickly turned green.
Prince Jin’s expression changed when he saw this. In addition to the immense pain from his heart, he clutched his chest. It was poisonous.
Zhuo Jun was startled.
She had not expected that Secondary Consort Hua would do such a thing.
Now that Prince Jin was poisoned and about to die, how could he be the hostage?
Moreover, it was Prince Jin’s concubine who had killed him. Even if they got out, Prince Jin’s men would find it difficult to find fault with Xiao Hanzheng and the others or use it as an excuse to take revenge.
On the contrary, she, who had restrained Prince Jin and allowed Secondary Consort Hua to take advantage of her, would become the target of revenge.
Would this still implicate her imperial father? She suddenly felt a little flustered.
Prince Yi didn’t expect that Secondary Consort Hua would be so decisive. He gave a look to the people beside him.
Two of his secret guards seized the opportunity to subdue Zhuo Jun while she was still in a daze.
Liang Yulin quickly walked over and supported Prince Jin, who was about to fall.
Liang Yujun clutched his chest with one hand, and his other hand suddenly grabbed Liang Yulin’s wrist. He looked at him and said with great effort, “I, I don’t, don’t want to die yet.”
He never thought that one day, a woman that he had never valued would court his death.
Yet, he really didn’t want to die.
