Quick Wear: Everyone dislikes you, but you are always coveted by the boss

Chapter 189 The Evil Fall of Gaoling Flower 30

When Zhou Yinghuai stepped back to avoid the attack, he was thrown off the horse due to its agitation and staggered two steps before he could regain his balance.

Zhu Ci'an seized the opportunity and, while the coachman had the horses under control, quickly took Mrs. Zhu out of the carriage.

"Master Prime Minister! What mistakes did our Zhu family make to deserve such harassment from you?!"

Mrs. Zhu's pearl hairpins were scattered, and she was so frightened that her whole body was still shaking. She asked with red eyes and extremely angry.

All the guards around were restrained and pinned to the ground by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, with their necks pressed against the Embroidered Spring Swords. In the solemn and cold atmosphere, the murderous intent became more and more obvious.

Zhou Yinghuai did not respond. He did not even look at Mrs. Zhu. His long, empty and dead eyes fell indifferently on Zhu Ci'an.

The long sword flipped, emitting a cold and sharp light.

At the moment when the thunder broke through the sky, he suddenly raised the bloody knife and rushed straight towards Zhu Ci'an. Amidst Mrs. Zhu's screams of fear, he chopped him directly in the face without hesitation.

With a "clang" sound, the swords collided, and the sound was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.

Zhu Ci'an took a step back and managed to hold on, leaving a bloody wound on his palm.

"Zhou Yinghuai! What are you crazy about?!"

He gritted his teeth, not even having the patience to maintain the superficial dignity. His brows were furrowed fiercely, and he suddenly dodged and hit Zhou Yinghuai in the chest with his backhand.

The two were evenly matched at the beginning, but later on, it was obvious that Zhou Yinghuai had the upper hand.

Because that madman, even though he was covered in wounds, kept pouncing on him like a mad dog, his movements not slowing down at all, and it was obvious that he was determined to kill him completely.

Madam Zhu behind her was so anxious that she kept crying and shouting, but the Jinyiwei who blocked her way remained expressionless and indifferent from beginning to end.

After seeing another scarlet gash on her son's shoulder, she finally couldn't help but scream.

In a moment of desperation, she suddenly thought of Qing Wan. Perhaps if she begged her, there might still be a chance. So Madam Zhu turned around and ran straight into the Zhou Mansion.

Some Jinyiwei wanted to stop them, but were blocked by Sanchun.

He frowned and looked back, knowing very well that under the current situation in the court, Zhu Ci'an's death would only push their masters into a more unfavorable situation.

And the only one who has the ability to stop all this is the young lady.

At the same time, on the other side, Qing Wan sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her feet boredly, and the golden chain kept making noises.

At a certain moment, she suddenly stopped moving, sat up slightly, and listened attentively to the faint cries coming from afar.

It seemed... he was calling her.

Qing Wan raised her eyebrows, called out to the maid outside, and asked, "Who's outside?"

"Replying to Madam, she is the legal wife of the Minister of Rites."

Zhu Ci'an's mother?

Why is she here and crying like this?

Thinking of Zhou Yinghuai's furious look just now, Qing Wan suddenly understood what was going on.

It was probably Heiwu who put the blame of the tooth mark on Zhu Ci'an. Zhou Yinghuai, who was already anxious to the point of going crazy, would definitely skin him alive.

However, the faction represented by Zhu Ci'an is an extremely important force in the court of Dayong, so if anything happened to him, Zhou Yinghuai would definitely be seriously injured.

If Yong Che takes the opportunity to bite back, Zhou Yinghuai will be in danger.

She is still waiting for him to seize the throne, so naturally there can be no mistakes, and any danger that can be eliminated must be eliminated completely.

Qing Wan was thinking quietly, and heard the crying and begging outside suddenly disappear. She thought that the person must have been dragged away by the Jinyiwei.

She didn't react much, but just shifted her gaze from the gold chain on her ankle to the candlelight not far away.

The weather is not very good today. There are thunders, strong winds, dark clouds, and the sky and the earth are dark, so candles are lit in the house during the day.

She looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised her fingertips, condensed a green spiritual power, and threw it out, directly knocking over the candlestick.

The dancing tongues of fire seemed to come alive suddenly, sweeping along the floor to every corner of the bedroom. In just a moment, the flames had engulfed most of the room.

Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky. The maid who turned back and saw this scene was frightened and her face turned pale, and the Jinyiwei who was on duty turned even pale.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!!"

After coming to their senses, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and rushed to look for water to put out the fire.

With a loud bang, the deafening thunder seemed to split the entire sky apart, and the heavy rain that had been brewing for a whole day finally began to fall.

A long breeze wrapped in cool rain air blew in from the burnt window, gently ruffling the ends of Qingwan's hair.

She felt it carefully, without any panic as if she were in a fire.

Those dancing tongues of fire seemed to have life, and when they came close to her, they even rubbed her calves in a flattering manner.

The Jinyiwei outside, who were almost going crazy with anxiety, wanted to rush in regardless of anything, but before they reached the door, they were blocked by the sudden rise of the fire.

Qing Wan withdrew her fingertips as if nothing had happened, sat lazily on the edge of the bed, swung her toes again, and waited patiently for her food to return.

Sure enough, not long after, the door that was blazing with flames was kicked open by someone. Amid the smoke, a man stepped in. He was covered in wounds and had an expressionless face.

He half-lidded his eyes, his bloodstained eyebrows and eyes looked eerie and seductive, and he was holding a bloodstained embroidered spring sword, looking as dangerous as a Shura crawling out of hell.

Qing Wan adjusted her expression a second before he appeared. She was frightened and panicked, and struggled to break the chain on her ankle with such force that the skin there was rubbed and bleeding.

She cried so pitifully, and when she saw Zhou Yinghuai, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.

"Ying Huai! Save me! Save me quickly!!"

There was fear in her crying voice, and it was so heartbreaking.

But Zhou Yinghuai remained indifferent. He just squatted down, gently clasped the back of her neck with his bloody hand, and leaned close to her intimately, their noses touching and their breaths intertwined.

It was obviously an ambiguous scene, but Qing Wan felt a chill down her spine because she saw despair in Zhou Yinghuai's eyes that was suppressed to the brink of collapse.

"Little girl..."

With a hoarse sigh and a strange excitement, he said, "Let's die together."

Qing Wan was stunned for a moment, then she put on her character again, pushing him and crying, "Are you crazy?!"

"Yes."

Zhou Yinghuai restrained her wrists and forced a weird smile on his lips.

"You knocked over the candle flame specifically to save Zhu Ci'an, right?"

Qing Wan was surprised at his sharpness, but her face showed anger and grievance, tears falling, and she yelled at him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhou Yinghuai did not respond to her, but gently put the bloody knife into her hand, and then guided her hand to place the blade on the side of his neck. His eyes were moist, but the smile on his lips was crazy and morbid.

"I know you are not Shen Qingyu, and I also know you have other intentions, but I love you."

"So, little girl, kill me, or else..."

"...For the rest of your life, even if you die, don't even think about getting rid of me!"
