Chapter 13: The Truth About Murder
King Ming obviously didn't expect that his words would take a turn and the truth about the murder would be like this, he stared at Rong Ye with wide eyes.
It was Ming Ruxue who didn't expect the eldest son of the De Wang Fu to suddenly appear from the side, three parts astonished and then another shock, her delicate face couldn't hide a few thoughts, and she couldn't help but blurt out.
"Rong Shizi, you and Xiaohong have no grudges or grievances, why do you want to kill her?"
Rong Yi's eyes remained still, his expression as calm as the reflection of a quiet spring. He slowly brushed off his sleeve, and smiled carelessly.
"Miss Ming San, if she needs to, would defy me, her intention is not good for me, or I just don't like that face of hers, whichever one you think is better, take it."
If Yuanyue had heard Ming Wangye speaking to Rong Ye earlier, compared to when he spoke to the Crown Prince, there was an added hint of respect, and a subtle flavor that couldn't be put into words.
Now that he has heard Rong Yi's words, Yuan Yue is absolutely certain that this Rong Shizi in the capital is a monstrous figure. Even his father, the king, would not dare to offend him easily.
Her appearance is as elegant and refined as a clear breeze, but the words that come out of her mouth are enough to make one helpless with rage, and yet can't help but feel ticked off - this is absolutely a big belly black!
Ming's face froze, she had never thought that someone would answer her like that. Rong Shizi looked just as elegant and refined as people said, how could he say something so rude with such elegance?
However, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. She had just spoken too rashly. If she had angered Rong Shizi...
Yuanyuan only then felt that she was indeed no longer in the society of her past. In this place, human life is as worthless as grass, and she was forced to kill people in order to survive.
They talked about Xiaohong's death as if they were discussing whether a hairpin was made of silver or gold, without any regard for the value of a life in their eyes.
These people, with their lofty birth, have long been accustomed to regarding human life as nothing.
Thinking of the difference between them, Nalan Jyun's face sank slightly, his eyes cold and gloomy.
He didn't like Rong Yi's elegant and refined appearance, yet he had an air of superiority.
Whenever there is a gathering with Rong Yi in it, everyone's attention will be focused on him. As the crown prince and future heir to the throne, he dislikes this feeling.
Nalan Jun looked at Rong Yi and slowly opened his mouth: "Rong Shizi is used to being willful, probably doesn't care about the life and death of a maid. But this maid is after all someone from Ming Wangye's mansion. Even if Rong Shizi is dissatisfied, he should still say something to Ming Wangye, who will handle it himself."
Ming Ru Xue saw Na Lan Jun open his mouth and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. The crown prince probably feared she would be embarrassed, so he helped her out by speaking up.
Thinking so, a pair of beautiful eyes sparkled with waves, and her body involuntarily leaned closer to Nalan Jun.
Yuanyuan saw her look of budding love and secretly laughed to herself.
If the Crown Prince really cared about Ming Ruxue, he shouldn't have quarreled with Rong Yi on the grounds of the Ming King's mansion.
Isn't it a dilemma for him to be sandwiched between the Crown Prince and the favored Young Master?
Rong Yi smiled, his voice calm and clear. "The prince shouldn't make a big deal out of this, compared to the life of this maid, what you did last month in the hunting grounds, shooting slaves to test your archery skills, I'm afraid that's even more disregarding human life."
Since the prince himself has done so, why bother to make things difficult for Miss Ming and let King Ming's birthday banquet be unhappy because of a maid?
Nalan Jun's face turned pale, his eyes suddenly deepened, staring straight at Rong Yi, his lips tightly pursed.
Five days ago, he and several confidants found some excitement in their own enclosure on Congyun Mountain, set up a few escaped slaves, abandoned them in the forest, and saw who killed the most to take the top prize.
This matter was done extremely secretly, and I thought no one knew. Now that I've heard Rong Yi's words, it seems that the four words "absolute secrecy" were just self-deception after all.
If this matter is spread to the imperial court, there will definitely be many stubborn old ministers who will impeach him to the emperor again!
