C103

Shen Ling Jue walked out the door, passing through the veranda and arriving at the front yard.

Everyone in the courtyard had already gathered, including the Du Family and her maidservants.

Shen Ling Jue walked onto the stage, lifted his robes and sat on a chair, his gaze coldly landing on Du Family's body.

Chu Zhao whispered into Shen Ling Jue's ear, "All of the close servants in the Du Family are here except for Fourth Aunt Fan. "Someone just discovered that Fourth Aunt Fan had fallen off the cliff and died."

Shen Ling Jue coldly replied, "Alright, let's begin the interrogation!"

"Your Royal Highness, your bow and arrow."

Chu Zhao bowed, offering him a hard bow and an arrow.

Shen Ling Jue stretched out his hand to receive it, and nocked an arrow. His eyes were suddenly sharp like a blade, and his whole body released a hellish aura that could control life and death.

Everyone retreated in fright, trembling like a sieve. They were so scared that they nearly peed their pants.

Even the maids at the side of the Du Clan were scared stiff, not knowing where to hide.

Du stood there, unmoving.

Shen Ling Jue raised his bow and arrow, and slowly aimed it at the Du Family, but did not say a single word.

No one dared to breathe. Only the increasingly tight sound of the bowstring could be heard as the bowstring was pulled open in the frozen air.

At the beginning, the Du Family was still able to force themselves to remain calm, but after hearing the bowstring become tighter and tighter, the arrows were already ready to shoot. As long as Shen Ling Jue released his fingers, the arrows would be released.

The Du Family began to sweat and tremble, but she still clenched her teeth tightly. Facing Shen Ling Jue's kind of threatening killing intent, she was not willing to easily beg for mercy.

Shen Lingjue never thought that the Du Family's neck would be so tough. Even when they were on the verge of death, they could still barely hold on.

He signalled to Chu Zhao with his eyes, and he said, "Those who have nothing to do can leave, wait for the summons from the east side of the bridge!"

The terrified servants quickly retreated, leaving only the Du Family and their two personal maidservants behind.

Shen Ling Jue gritted his teeth, the bow in his hands did not loosen at all.

Thinking back to the look on Feng Ningyan's face just now that she wished she was dead, it was as if someone had cut his heart with a knife.

He wished that he could chop the person who poisoned him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!

However, he couldn't start a massacre yet.

"Speak!" He shouted with a deep voice, causing a servant girl to roll her eyes and faint.

The corners of Lady Du's mouth twitched, and she stiffly smiled: "Prince, why have you put on such a big display to scare this commoner?"

Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Shen Ling Jue sneered coldly.

This Du family must have known that Fourth Aunt Fan was dead and had no proof, so they insisted that they were wronged and that they might still have a chance to live.

Chu Zhao couldn't bear it any longer, and he placed a blade against the Du Family's neck:

"Du Clan! You dare to make Fourth Aunt poison the prince and the princess, you deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes! "Who instigated this? What poison is this? Why aren't you summoning them from the shadows?!"

No, no!" "If this humble woman was given a hundred guts, this humble woman wouldn't dare harm esteemed wangfei …

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. If someone from the Feng family dares to hurt an imperial concubine, this duke would rather kill a hundred wrongly than let them go!"

Saying that, Shen Ling Jue shot out an arrow!

Letting go of the arrow, a sharp sound of wind breaking could be heard as the arrow flew past the Du Family's sideburns, and a strand of hair floated to the ground.

When the Du Family saw that Shen Ling Jue was here for real, their legs went soft and they fell onto the ground with a "putong" as they cried: "Prince, spare me! Spare a woman's life... This humble woman says it! "

She knew that since Shen Ling Jue was here, he must have had a plan for the poison and was only waiting to confess.

Right now, she was unable to protect herself. However, thinking about how Hua Ruyu was in the capital and was deeply trusted by the crown prince and loved by the emperor, she knew that the two of them had to protect one another!

"Yes …" Someone gave me a box and told me to put the contents of the box in the food of the prince and the princess... "Since I can't leave the house, I'll let Fourth Aunt Fan give the things to her man, Zhao Bang, to do something about it …"

After Shen Ling Jue heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Who was the one that delivered the box? What's in the box! "

At this moment, Murong Yi walked over from the bridgehead with Feng Ning Yan in his arms. Seeing the Du Family kneeling on the ground as they confessed, Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but cough in anger.

Murong Yi pulled her cloak tighter around her as he scolded, "Du Clan, the Feng Family has always been good to you. The one you hate is me, so why don't they come at me!"

The Du Family turned their heads to look at Murong Yi and Feng Ning Yan, only to see Feng Ning Yan's weak body and pale face, as though she had lost half her life.

She actually felt indescribably happy in her heart. Ignoring her fear, she stood up, pointed at Murong Yi and Feng Ning Yan and said:

"Your Feng family treats me well?" Hehe, for more than ten years, if it wasn't for me, the General's Estate would have been destroyed by now! I have worked hard for so many years, yet Feng Wei was not the least bit sentimental. Not only did he not give me a man and a woman, he even gave you the authority to be the mistress for a woman that had not even been in the sect for two months! "

"I used up all of my effort to nurture Ruyu, but this damned girl Feng Ningyan is playing tricks on my family's Ruyu!" If I don't kill her, Ruo Yu and I won't live a good life for the rest of our lives! No one is going to order me around. Even if I hate you all, I will kill you all no matter what! "

As she spoke, she took advantage of when the guard beside her was unprepared to pull out her opponent's blade and thrust it towards Feng Ningyan and Murong Yi!

Seeing that, Shen Ling Jue's finger loosened, and the arrow shot towards the Du Family's back.

The arrow pierced right through the Du Family's chest, causing blood to spurt out. She looked down in disbelief at the arrow that had pierced her chest from behind, and suddenly burst out laughing.

She staggered step by step towards Feng Ning Yan, blood flowing from her mouth. "Feng Ning Yan, I won't tell you what you're dealing with … You won't be able to cure me of this poison … A life for a life, you and me on the Road to River Styx … I... It's worth it to die … "

As she spoke, her body blurred and she fell heavily onto the ground. The blade in her hand was still pointed in Murong Yi's direction, and she had yet to rest her eyes even in death.

Feng Ningyan's body trembled as she struggled free from Murong Yi's support. She threw herself beside Du Shi and grabbed her collar, shaking it with all her might:

"Du Clan! Tell me, what poison did I get!? "Speak!"

But the Du Family could no longer say a word.

Shen Ling Jue held onto Feng Ning Yan, painfully pressing her head into his embrace, "She's already dead!"

"No!" Feng Ning Yan pinched Shen Ling Jue's arm in hatred, "I want to ask her, just what poison did I get!? I don't want to die! I can never die like that in my life again! I have yet to help father defeat the enemy, I have yet to help you ascend to the throne, I have yet to take revenge! I can't die! "

When Shen Ling Jue heard her despairing scream, he felt as if all the flesh in his body was being torn apart.

"Ning Yan …" I, Shen Lingjue, swear that I will live and die with you! If I am still alive, I will not let you die! "

As Feng Ningyan listened to him, she suddenly became quiet. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. She could not help but tear up …

"Your Highness …"

She could not help but cry out in a daze. However, just as she was moved, her heart seemed to suddenly burn with a blazing flame that snaked towards her forehead.

In a split-second, she felt as if her head was about to explode, swallowing her whole body.

She gritted her teeth with all her might, wanting to endure the pain. However, her vision was pitch-black, and only Murong Yi and Shen Lingjue could be heard crying out in fear and heartache.

Why, clearly it was better just now, but to hear him make her fall in love while nestling in her arms, the feeling of wanting to die came back to her?

This time, the pain was even more intense than the last time. She immediately fainted …
