Chapter 287 The Domineering Princess 40
Zhou Linxi started to feel dizzy after bleeding, but Yun Ling never took his eyes off the blood in the bowl.
After taking the blood, Zhou Linxi was kicked out. Nanny Zhou threw ten taels of silver to Zhou Linxi and asked him to buy some tonic medicine.
Looking at the ten taels of silver dropped in front of him, Zhou Linxi's face turned pale and he was about to pick up the silver on the ground, but unexpectedly a group of beggars swarmed over.
He was already dizzy from losing too much blood and could only watch his "blood money" being snatched away.
When he returned to Zhou's house, staggering, he fainted before he could say a word.
Today, the Zhou family is in dire straits as they spend more than they earn. Zhou Linxi left behind an old housekeeper, an old nanny and a maid to stay in the mansion. The old housekeeper is there to look after the Zhou family, the old nanny is there to provide food and drink for the family, and the maid is there to take care of Zhou Tao's daily life.
Before the 30,000 taels of gold happened, the Zhou Mansion was still full of flowers and had no shortage of servants. In order to save money, Zhou Linxi sold all the maids and servants.
When Zhou Linxi woke up, the maid and the old nanny were waiting outside. Most of the Zhou family's belongings had been sold. Only a bed and a table were left in Zhou Linxi's room. Everything else had been sold.
Only the things in Zhou Tao's room were not moved. Zhou Linxi still felt very sorry for his own sister.
The first thing he did after waking up was to go to see Zhou Tao, only to find that Zhou Tao had already woken up.
She sat by the window with a pale face and said nothing, even when Zhou Linxi entered the room.
Such a big noise did not attract Zhou Tao's attention. Zhou Linxi and Zhou Tao were equally pale, but Zhou Linxi's hand had been bandaged.
He stepped forward and comforted Zhou Tao, "Taotao, don't be afraid anymore. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't dare to hurt you anymore."
Looking at Zhou Tao's pale face, he thought she was frightened by Yun Ling.
Zhou Tao turned around with tears in her eyes and asked softly, "Brother, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treat me like this? Did I do something wrong?"
After Zhou Linxi fainted, the housekeeper called a doctor and bandaged him, but he still couldn't help feeling the pain whenever he moved.
He endured the pain and sat next to Zhou Tao and said, "Actually, I know you are interested in the prince, but he wants your blood in order to survive. Taotao, if your heart is not on the right side, your brother will have to collect your body."
Zhou Tao lowered her head and burst into tears, her voice choking with sobs, "Brother, is there really no possibility for me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Taotao, please calm down and think about it."
Unexpectedly, Yun Ling had touched Zhou Tao's sore spot, but she was still full of expectations for Yun Ling. Zhou Linxi really didn't know how to start.
Azhi is not interested in the affairs of the Zhou brothers and sisters. She is now busy conquering the Kingdom of Fuso.
Zhou Linxi also knew the news that Azhi was going to the war. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Azhi was going to the military camp, he endured the pain and stopped Azhi.
The Zhou Linxi in front of him was very different from before. His eyes were red and blue, and his face was as white as a piece of paper. It seemed that Yun Ling had made him bleed a lot.
Zhou Linxi smiled and bowed to Ah Zhi, saying, "Your humble servant greets the princess."
"Get up, Master Zhou, are you here to return the gold?"
When Zhou Linxi heard Azhi mention the word gold, his expression became a little stiff.
However, he still forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Princess. I haven't collected the gold yet..."
Without giving Zhou Linxi a chance to finish his words, Ah Zhi pulled out the whip and hit him.
In the past, Zhou Linxi could still withstand a beating, but now he fell to the ground after one whip. Zhou Linxi covered his arm with his hands, and his face became even paler.
Ah Zhi stepped forward, squatted down, and chuckled, "If you're not here to pay back the money, then you're here to get beaten. This princess is very busy and has no time to chat with you. If you know what's best for you, get out of here."
Zhou Linxi reached out his hand tremblingly and grabbed Azhi's skirt.
His eyelashes trembled slightly and he said weakly, "Princess, as a woman, you don't have to be so stubborn. You should think twice before doing many things."
Azhi sneered at Zhou Linxi and kicked his hand away.
Looking at Zhou Linxi who was lying on the ground in a mess.
Ah Zhi stood up and said calmly, "What do you mean women don't have to be so strong? In your eyes, are women really inferior to men? Only men can defend the country, not women?"
Faced with Azhi's question, Zhou Lin hoped that she would not know how to answer.
He raised his pale face and said, "I am just concerned about the princess."
Azhi really thinks Zhou Linxi is a bitch. Not just an ordinary bitch, but a complete bitch.
The original body was dismissive when he liked him.
When I was swearing at him and whipping him whenever he disagreed with me, Zhou Linxi came to me with a flattering face and tried to please me.
Ah Zhi turned around and said calmly, "You are really narrow-minded. As long as you have the ability, men and women can defend their country. Lord Zhou, you are no better than that."
Looking at Azhi's back getting farther and farther away, Zhou Linxi couldn't help but cover his chest.
At this moment, something in my heart was beating wildly, and several images appeared in front of my eyes.
The woman stood on the top of the mountain in a long blue dress, and the breeze blew her hairband, making it look particularly ethereal...
Before Zhou Linxi could figure out what was happening, the eunuchs beside him had already carried him towards the palace gate.
A month later, Azhi was about to go to the battlefield. On that day, Emperor Lingyue personally sent Azhi to the city gate.
Ahzhi still has fair skin when she goes to the military camp every day. Today, she puts on armor and looks heroic.
"Yu'er, you must return safely."
He walked forward, held Azhi's hand, and his eyes were red. A mother worries about her son even when he is far away, and the same thing happened to Azhi as he went to the battlefield.
Emperor Lingyue couldn't help but worry, as his beloved daughter was now going to lead troops on a distant battlefield.
He began to worry whether Azhi could return safely. Azhi could tell at a glance that Emperor Lingyue wanted to ask him to stay.
"Don't worry, Father. I will be fine. You have to trust me."
Emperor Lingyue was about to blurt out "Don't go", but he swallowed the words back.
He really couldn't bear to let Azhi take risks, and at the same time he knew that everyone in Lingyue Kingdom knew that Azhi was going to attack Fuso Kingdom, and it would not be good for him to go back on his word now.
Looking at Azhi's rosy face, Emperor Lingyue felt very relieved that his daughter was indeed extraordinary.
Azhi glanced at the farewell team and unexpectedly saw Yun Ling's figure.
His face was ruddy, and he no longer looked sickly as before.
Ah Zhi stepped forward, looked at Yun Ling and said with a smile, "My royal brother looks much better. Could it be that he got some magic medicine?"
This sentence made Yun Ling's expression somewhat unnatural.
This so-called panacea is of course thanks to Zhou Linxi.
With the nourishment of Zhou Linxi's flesh and blood, Yun Ling's body really recovered a lot.
However, Yun Ling taking medicine every three days is just a delaying tactic that only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
What he wants is a complete recovery, and now Azhi is about to set off on the journey.
Yun Ling's mind naturally became active. He planned to take advantage of Ah Zhi's absence to find a way to make one of the Zhou brothers and sisters sacrifice the heart blood.
If Zhou Linxi's blood can relieve his body's pain, then it is obvious that Zhou Linxi's heart blood can also heal him.
But Zhou Linxi is a court official after all. If I touch him easily, it might attract the attention of Emperor Mingyue.
At the same time, Yun Ling had no chance to attack Zhou Tao because Zhou Linxi watched Zhou Tao very closely, fearing that she would be taken away by Yun Ling again.
Seeing the calculation that flashed across Yun Ling's eyes, Azhi knew that the other party must be up to something bad.
Yun Ling came back to his senses and pretended to be concerned about Ah Zhi, "Imperial sister, please be careful when you go out on this expedition. I and the emperor are waiting for your triumphant return in the capital."
I'm afraid he wishes he could die on the battlefield. How could Ah Zhi not know what Yun Ling is thinking?
Azhi did not take Jiangzhu with him when he went to the war, and asked her to stay in the capital to help him with the operations.
Someone needs to keep an eye on the affairs of Yun Ling and the Zhou siblings, so Azhi arranged the people left by the late queen to be by his side to protect him.
Before going to the battlefield, Azhi had encountered three waves of assassins. It was simply that someone put assassins into the expeditionary team, but these people did not hurt Azhi at all.
During Azhi's expedition, the capital of Lingyue Kingdom was also very lively. Yun Ling coaxed Zhou Tao to ask for Zhou Linxi's blood.
Zhou Tao forgot about the harm Yun Ling had done to her, and actually followed Yun Ling's instigation and raised the dagger to stab her own brother.
Yun Ling mentioned that piercing the heart blood would not harm one's life. As long as Zhou Tao was willing to get the heart blood for him, Yun Ling promised to marry her as the Crown Princess.
At first, Zhou Tao cried and shook her head, saying she was unwilling. Yun Ling began to coax her to sacrifice for him, and for some reason the two of them rolled onto the bed.
A month later, Zhou Tao discovered that she was pregnant. Yun Ling asked her to take action against Zhou Linxi, otherwise the child would lose its father.
Zhou Linxi had to attend court every day and was forced to bleed by Yun Ling.
In order to protect his sister, Zhou Linxi was so weak that he would fall down if the wind blew. If he wasn't so strong, he would have died long ago.
He didn't expect that his own sister would come to Zhou Linxi's room quietly with a dagger in her hand.
I saw her eyes full of tears and her whole body trembling, the moonlight fell on the dagger and shone coldly.
As soon as Zhou Linxi opened his eyes, a dagger stabbed into his heart. The severe pain made Zhou Linxi's eyes go black, and his already weak body was unable to struggle at all.
Zhou Tao felt a little scared when she saw the dagger stuck in Zhou Linxi's chest.
Yun Ling on the side pushed her and said, "You are siblings from the same mother. What if your hearts are on the right? Why don't you poke to the right again?"
Zhou Tao was so frightened by the scene before him that he was shaking all over. How could he dare to go forward and stab him again?
She let go of her hand and stepped back in fear. Yun Ling stepped forward unwillingly and held the dagger, his eyes full of indifference.
"Zhou Linxi, don't blame me!"
You must survive, only by surviving can you change your destiny.
The dagger pierced into his right chest. Zhou Linxi's eyes widened and he couldn't even utter a last word. He just lay on his back on the bed and died.
Yun Ling took the bowl and caught the blood he wanted. Looking at Zhou Tao who was lying on the ground with a shocked look on her face, Yun Ling's eyes were full of impatience.
In order to make Zhou Tao attack Zhou Linxi, he also had someone give Zhou Tao a fake pregnancy drug. Now that his goal was achieved, Yun Ling walked past Zhou Tao and was about to leave.
Zhou Tao grabbed Yun Ling's robe and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, you promised me that as long as I have my brother's blood, you will marry me as the Crown Princess. Only then can the child in my belly be legitimate. You can't go back on your word."
Seeing Yun Ling's overly cold attitude towards her, Zhou Tao had a bad feeling in her heart.
Yun Ling stared at her coldly and said, "Child? Crown Princess? Are you worthy? Zhou Tao, it is an honor for you two siblings to sacrifice your lives for me. Now you have killed your own brother. This has nothing to do with me. You should take care of yourself."
In Yun Ling's heart, there was only Wang Chuning. Thinking of the scenes of the woman saving him, Yun Ling couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart. At the same time, he pulled back his robe and turned to leave.
Zhou Tao wanted to catch up but was stopped by Nanny Zhou, who looked old and spoke with disdain.
"Miss Zhou, I advise you not to have such wishful thinking. How could the Crown Prince's consort be born like you? Now that you are involved in a lawsuit, you can expect to be thrown into prison to atone for your sins."
Zhou Linxi's eyes were half open and pale on the bed. The whole room was filled with the smell of blood. Zhou Tao trembled all over as he looked at the blood on his hands.
Madam Zhou sneered and left with the others. As soon as she left, the housekeeper saw Zhou Tao covered in blood.
Now there is both evidence and witnesses, so even if Zhou Tao wants to deny it, there is nothing he can do.
Azhi was very surprised to receive Jiangzhu's words of comfort. She didn't expect that Yun Ling would actually attack Zhou Linxi.
Immortal Lord Yan Ning had such an ending when he came to the mortal world. I wonder how he will feel when he returns to the fairyland.
He regarded Xiao Taoxian as his own sister, and they were real siblings who came to the mortal world together.
I didn't expect that Xiao Taoxian would stab me with a knife right away without any hesitation.
Yun Ling used Zhou Linxi's heart blood to gradually recover, but he still needed careful conditioning for some time.
Azhi asked Jiangzhu to find a way to save Zhou Tao, and make other plans after she returned to the capital from the war. Zhou Tao, who should have been sentenced to death by beheading, survived.
Yun Ling recovered in three months, and he was no longer satisfied with being a crown prince.
While Azhi was away from the capital, he poisoned Emperor Lingyue. The day of the poisoning happened to be Emperor Lingyue's birthday. Azhi was unable to come back to celebrate the birthday, so he asked someone to send a gift back.
The palace banquet ended at night and Yun Ling was ready for everything except the east wind. Emperor Lingyue vomited blood and passed out that night.
Yun Ling led his men into the palace and controlled everyone around Emperor Lingyue. When Emperor Lingyue woke up, the outcome was already decided.
Yun Ling asked him to issue an order to abdicate and not waste time, looking at Yun Ling who had a rosy complexion and showed no signs of illness.
Emperor Lingyue covered his chest with his hands and said with a pale face, "You want me to abdicate? Yun Ling, do you think you can be the emperor? You have lost your fertility, can you still be the emperor? If it weren't for Yu'er to plead for you, I would have abolished your position as the crown prince long ago."
Yun Ling stared at Emperor Lingyue with a sinister look in his eyes. If he hadn't been thinking about ascending to the throne legitimately,
He wished he could stab Emperor Lingyue in the chest right now.
"Father, you are really confused. Who is Yun Yuyu? She is just a useless woman. Sooner or later, she will get married. You are always partial to her and have never thought that I am your crown prince."
