Chapter 304 Cut him to pieces!
Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng finally looked up from the military treatise and looked at Xie Mingzhu with a half-smile: "From what Mingzhu said, you want that tiger?"
Xie Mingzhu smiled slightly, lowered the carriage curtain, and gave Luo Hanfeng a reproachful look: "Since you said that the tiger grew up with this person since he was a child, how can I take what belongs to someone else?"
"Besides, how could I possibly have the ability to tame a tiger?"
Although she said that, a glimmer of hope flashed in Xie Mingzhu's eyes.
She always wanted only the best of everything, and having such a majestic tiger subdued at her feet was far more exhilarating than riding a horse.
Unfortunately, Luo Hanfeng did not understand her implied meaning. Instead, he nodded and said, "A kind woman like Mingzhu would naturally not take things from others."
"If you like, I'll get one for you another day."
Tigers are ferocious, and whether she can tame them depends entirely on herself.
When Xie Mingzhu saw that Luo Hanfeng really didn't intend to give her the tiger after hearing what she said, she immediately bit her lip.
She looked at Luo Hanfeng with a hint of resentment, but said, "Hanfeng, you're still the best to me."
In the past, whenever she expressed interest in something, her brothers or the Crown Prince would immediately bring it to her to make her happy.
Although Luo Hanfeng's words didn't seem wrong, could a tiger that had already been trained be as obedient as a tiger that had been beaten in the mountains?
Xie Mingzhu turned her head away, no longer looking at Luo Hanfeng.
Luo Hanfeng was naturally aware of Xie Mingzhu's temper, but he disliked this woman in the first place. He was only dealing with her for the sake of power, so he didn't care about her temper.
He pretended not to notice and continued reading his military treatise.
Xie Xing was unaware that Xie Mingzhu had her eye on her tiger.
Even if Xie Xing knew, he wouldn't care.
During the two days Xie Xing spent with the moon, he already knew the moon's temperament; it was incredibly stubborn.
Even she couldn't control where the moon went, let alone Xie Mingzhu.
It's ridiculous that they wanted to steal her tiger.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Ximen Zhu saved Xie Yuze for three days and three nights, ultimately pulling Xie Yuze back from the brink of death.
The moment Ximen Zhu stepped out of the house, his steps were somewhat unsteady.
With two huge dark circles under his eyes, he said to Jun Lanjin, "I saved the person for you, you owe me a big debt, don't forget the medical fee!"
Jun Lanjin stood with his hands behind his back. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's naturally not up to me to pay the consultation fee. The Xie family and the Gu family will thank you handsomely."
Ximen Zhu didn't care about all that.
The hairpin was less than two centimeters from Xie Yuze's heart. If he pulled it out, he would die; if he didn't, he would just die a little later.
If there's even the slightest mistake, this kid will lose his life.
Ximen Zhu was highly focused, maintaining this concentration for three consecutive days, which allowed Xie Yuze to escape from danger.
Old Madam Xie and Madam Xie were in a hurry to see Xie Yuze, and they only had time to thank Ximen Zhu: "We will never forget your life-saving grace, and the Xie family will repay you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Divine Physician."
Madam Xie sniffed and then rushed into the house.
inside the house.
Xie Yuze lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale. If it weren't for the fact that his chest could still rise and fall, one would think he was dead.
When Madam Xie and Madam Xie saw Xie Yuze looking so weak, they couldn't hold back their tears and they started to shed tears.
"My son!"
"My poor grandson!"
The two knelt down by the bed and began to wail and sob, as if Xie Yuze had already ascended to heaven.
The cacophony around him made Xie Yuze, who had been in a deep sleep, furrow his brow. His expression was pained, and his eyelashes began to tremble violently.
That crying?
Like a grandmother and mother?
He could even hear his grandmother's and mother's voices?
Xie Yuze's mind was heavy, and his whole body felt as if it were being pressed down by a mountain.
The pain of being torn to pieces before his death seemed still vivid in his mind. The death of his eldest brother, the head of his second brother hanging on the city wall, the day when the Xie family was sentenced to death by the emperor for adopting a princess of the previous dynasty and the entire family was executed—the desolation of the entire Xie family seemed to be right before his eyes.
Do not!
No!
Xie Yuze's body began to tremble violently.
Before he died, his younger sister Xie Xing, whose body was ripped apart and not a single patch of skin remained intact, was thrown in front of him. The face he hated was now a bloody mess, and she was barely clinging to life.
He looked at his own sister in horror.
She lay on the ground, stretching out a bloodstained hand towards him: "Third Brother... Third Brother... Quick, let's go."
"Come on!"
Xie Yuze's pupils trembled.
He felt a pain in his heart, as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives.
This is his sister.
His younger sister.
After returning to the mansion, he despised his own younger sister.
Now he is in such a sorry state, tormented to the point of being completely battered in front of him.
"Third Brother." At this moment, the same address rang out, the voice soft and melodious.
Xie Yuze stiffly looked up, only to see his adopted sister Xie Mingzhu, whom he used to cherish and pamper, dressed in fine clothes and adorned with jewels on her head.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes filled with a hesitant light. She said with a hint of regret, "I have been using her identity for many years. I originally wanted to spare her life, but who told her to be so vicious and stupid, and actually go and provoke Han Feng, which is why she has been tortured by Han Feng into this state."
"I held onto my last shred of kindness and left her with her last breath to see you, Third Brother, as a way of repaying the Xie family for raising me in the past."
"Why..." Xie Yuze's eyes were bloodshot, "Why?!"
His eyes were splitting.
Xie Mingzhu looked at him coldly: "Where did all these questions come from?"
"If my eldest brother hadn't insisted on investigating my background, why would I have died? I had no ability to save my second brother. It was his fate to have his head hung on the enemy's city wall. How can you blame me for that?"
"My father is even more ridiculous. He actually tried to poison me. If it weren't for Han Feng, I would probably be dead already!"
"Third Brother, you're paralyzed all over, it's all your own fault. I didn't ask you to come and save me."
"I'm sparing your life now as a way of remembering your kindness."
"Ah!" Xie Yuze screamed in despair, struggling to his feet: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
He saw Xie Mingzhu's terrified expression. Just when he thought the sword was about to pierce Xie Mingzhu's chest, he was blown away by a powerful internal force.
"Overestimating yourself!" a cold voice rang out.
Xie Yuze's vision was already blurred, and he couldn't make out the person's face. In his blurred vision, he could only see a tall figure wearing a dark robe. The man's cold voice came: "Hurting the Empress is an unforgivable crime."
"Guards, cut him into a thousand pieces!"
He could only watch helplessly as he was dragged away, his sister lying on the ground, her body mangled and bloodied.
Xie Yuze's eyes were stained red with blood, and his vision turned blood red.
He refused.
He is unwilling!
He was unwilling to accept it!
Heaven is unjust! Why did it treat him like this, and the Xie family like this?
What did he do wrong this time?!
"Yuze!"
"Yuze! Yuze! What's wrong with you?!"
The terrified voices of Madam Xie and Madam Xie could be heard in my ears.
"Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor! Please come quickly and see what's wrong with Yuze!"
Ok?
Why are those my mother's and grandmother's voices?
Isn't he dead?
Xie Yuze suddenly opened his eyes.
"Whoa!" Ximen Zhu, who was approaching, was startled by him, mainly by the expression in his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had suffered a great injustice, filled with murderous intent and hatred.
"Yuze?" Madam Xie moved closer to Xie Yuze anxiously. "What's wrong? Are you alright? Are they trying to kill you?"
Xie Yuze froze, his eyes widening as he stared blankly at Madam Xie and Old Madam Xie.
How is this going?
Aren't they all dead?
