Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 460 Whose heart should be killed?

The shadow's face changed drastically. He stood in front of Zhou and shouted, "Who are you? How did you get in? This is the Emperor's family's Ning Mansion. You are not allowed to act recklessly here. Leave here immediately."

Obviously, the Jinyiwei were all wearing Feiyu uniforms with distinctive insignia, but this guy pretended to be an ordinary citizen who didn't understand. He was going too far.

The Jinyiwei waved their swords and attacked the black shadow without saying a word. The black shadow was very skilled in martial arts, but two fists could not beat four hands, and he soon fell into a disadvantage. He was so anxious that he was sweating and whistling.

Then, several men in black appeared from nowhere and joined the battle.

A man in black ran towards Zhou and shouted, "Come into the house quickly."

Zhou looked at the scene in horror, her heart pounding like thunder, and she subconsciously ran into the house.

But after running a few steps, a clear voice came from behind, "Zhou, where are you running to? We are following the order of the emperor to arrest you."

Fear surged like a tide, and Zhou ran even faster. Just as she was about to rush into the house, a dagger flew over and hit Zhou's arm. She slipped in pain and fell heavily to the ground.

The man in black's face changed when he saw this, and he kicked his toes, flew into the air and flew towards Zhou.

Before he could get close, a long arrow flew towards him and hit the man in black in mid-air. The tearing pain made him fall down involuntarily, with blood at the corners of his mouth.

Yu Qing, the commander of the Imperial Guard, walked quickly to Zhou, who turned pale with fear and said, "Don't come over here, don't come over here, or I'll scream for help."

Yu Qing was silent, and a rope flew over and tied her limbs.

Zhou struggled desperately, "Yu Qing, how dare you do this to me? If the emperor knew that you humiliated the royal family like this, he would chop off your head."

Yu Qing looked at this woman who was seeking her own death and couldn't understand why she had to make such a fuss instead of living a good life, and finally tormenting herself to the point of desperation.

"The emperor has ordered that you only need to stay alive."

Zhou looked as if struck by lightning, his face pale.

Yu Qing looked at the fighting arena, where men in black fell in a pool of blood. "Leave them alive."

"Search every corner, especially the inner chambers."

After a while, the subordinate reported, "Sir, there is a secret passage under the bed in the inner room."

Yu Qing sneered, no wonder she was allowed to escape into the inner room.

Zhou was escorted into the hall, only to see Ning Zhiwei and Rong Jing eating wontons.

The aroma of food filled the room. Ning Zhiwei slowly took a bite of the wonton. The skin was very thin and the meat filling was solid.

Ning Zhiwei didn't look at her. The room was very quiet, so quiet that it made people breathless. Beads of sweat oozed from Zhou's forehead and her mind was racing frantically.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Zhiwei put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Zhou, you are so brave."

Zhou had been kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy as soon as she opened her mouth, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed and instigated by others, so I made a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "Instigated by someone?"

Zhou had a confused look on her face. She was still bewildered. It had only been a day and a night since she set the fire, and she was surrounded here and caught red-handed.

The speed was so fast that she was stunned.

How did she find me? Where did she reveal her flaws?

Her eyes rolled around, "Yes, it's those men in black. They have a grudge against our Ning family and can't stand seeing the Ning family doing well."

What you said is really speechless. You are a member of the Ning family, and you are involved with the enemies of the Ning family, but you say it as if nothing happened.

Ning Zhiwei didn't want to talk to this kind of person. She glanced at Rong Jing. Rong Jing's mouth twitched and said, "Okay, let him do it."

"Who are they? Who is their master?"

Zhou looked very innocent, "I don't know either."

Rong Jing knew that she was shameless, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless. "Do you think this is convincing?"

"sure."

She just plays the role of being shameless to the core, as if she is sure that no one will kill her.

Rong Jing's eyes turned cold, "Zhou colluded with foreign enemies and intended to rebel. He must be killed without mercy."

Zhou cried out in grievance, "I didn't do that, Your Majesty. Please believe me. I'm not a cruel person. I was just confused for a moment. Please let me go for the sake of the Seventh Young Master."

"Okay." Ning Zhiwei was very happy. Zhou was overjoyed. She knew that as long as the Seventh Young Master was not dead, she would be fine.

Ning Zhiwei threw a jade bottle over and said, "As long as you take this medicine, everything will be fine."

Seeing the familiar jade bottle, Zhou's face changed drastically. Did they catch Aunt Zhu? Aunt Zhu confessed? Damn it. "No, no, no, I don't want it."

Ning Zhiwei said coldly, "This is a tonic, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou couldn't help but get anxious, "What kind of tonic is this? This is arsenic!"

She personally handed the jade bottle to Aunt Zhu and asked Aunt Zhu to poison the well in the main courtyard.

So, Ning Zhiwei was so angry, was it because the poison was successful?

Ning Zhiwei said sarcastically, "You have a very good eye. You recognized this as arsenic at first glance."

"Someone, give Zhou the medicine."

Zhou yelled angrily, "I've already apologized, why are you still insisting on it? You have to scare me, is that fun?"

Rong Jing was silent, Ning Zhiwei was also silent. After committing murder and arson, she still thought that she could make amends by simply apologizing?

"It's fine if you hate me, but why do you want to kill all the women of the Ning family?"

Zhou's expression changed several times. "It's their fault. Who told them not to help me? I've been imprisoned, and they're still talking nonsense outside. They deserve to die."

Ning Zhiwei asked calmly, "That's it?"

Zhou's mind turned quickly, "Your Majesty, all the women of the Ning family are dead. If I die, you will not be able to wash away the crime of killing the Ning family. It is better to save my life and help you clear it."

Rong Jing was stunned by her train of thought. She poisoned and killed someone, threw dirty water on Ning Zhiwei, and still wanted to be Ning Zhiwei's benefactor?

Is that what you mean? Who gave her the confidence?

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were indifferent. "You poisoned your own relatives, don't you feel any guilt or sadness at all?"

Zhou took a deep breath. The person is dead. What's the point of saying anything now?

"What relatives? They are just a bunch of people who can't stand seeing me doing well. They are the ones who have wronged me. What have I done wrong?"

Ning Zhiwei looked towards the side hall, "Did you hear that? It's your fault."

The women of the Ning family walked out from the side hall, looking painful and conflicted.

Zhou trembled all over, terrified, "You are not dead? Your Majesty, you are deceiving me!"

Ning Zhiwei has always been very careful in his actions and would never leave any room for gossip. He brought these people here both as witnesses and to kill their hearts.

Don't you want to be good people? Come on, hurt each other.

"What are you trying to trick? Didn't you give them the arsenic? Didn't you want to poison them? If I remember correctly, you two are the best sisters-in-law in the world."

There is nothing more cruel than killing someone and destroying their heart.

The Ning family women felt as if their hearts were stabbed countless times. "It turns out that our neutrality is wrong, and inaction is also wrong. Good, very good."

Zhou's face was as pale as paper and she was trembling all over.
