away from the heart

Chapter 51
As Xue Yao expected, Bei Zehou's life at this time is very difficult.

He had been complacently waiting for the good news from the Xue Mansion to come back from his servants, but before the news came, a group of masked men descended from the sky, and without a word, tied up all his guards and servants. He himself was knocked unconscious.Afterwards, he was woken up by a basin of cold water, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was already in this dark dungeon.

Two figures, one in front and one in the back, walked out of the darkness, and Bei Zehou squinted his eyes to identify them for a while, then said in shock, "King Shun?!"

"Master Hou seemed very surprised when he saw this king." Xingchen approached slowly, and looked at Bei Zehou who was tied up by five flowers, with a sneer on his face, "When you attacked Chuyue back then, you never thought that there would be today ?”

Looking at the stars, Bei Zehou felt that this smile was as cold as the king of Hades.Cold sweat broke out from his back, and he fell into an ice cave for a moment: "My lord, please forgive me. I was in Fanlou that day, and I accidentally heard the plan of the lord and the princess. I thought..."

"What did you think?" Xingchen walked to the wall, reached out to take down a long whip, and tapped lightly, "You thought that she was just an unfavored adopted daughter, and I was just an idle prince with no backing. , you can do whatever you want?"

The long whip was dark, and the surface reflected a strange luster, as if there were still wet bloodstains.Bei Zehou trembled all over: "My lord was wrong! It was because I was fascinated by sex for a while and lost my mind!"

Xingchen raised his hand, and the whip came down fiercely, with a resounding sound, leaving a deep bloodstain on Bei Zehou's back.He screamed: "My lord, spare me! Please let me go, you and the princess discussed about running away, I will definitely hide it for you, and I will not leak a word... "

"It's late." Xingchen raised his hand and slapped the whip down again, Bei Zehou was whipped to the ground, his back was covered in blood and flesh, and he didn't even have the strength to cry out for mercy. "Of course I'm not worried about you leaking it out. From the moment you blatantly ruined her innocence, you are already dead!"

"My lord, I'm wronged!" Seeing that Xingchen wanted to attack, Bei Zehou shouted with all his might, "I just tied her up, but I didn't destroy her innocence!"

Xingchen paused: "Then what happened to the things you sent to Xue's residence?!"

"I found that girl's little clothes randomly, just to anger Xue Yao!" Bei Zehou cried bitterly, "I dare not lie, you can find out when you ask the princess, I really did nothing! "

"My lord, it's a matter of life, I guess he wouldn't dare to lie." Qin Yixiao stepped forward and glanced worriedly at the dying Bei Zehou, "After all, this man is an envoy of the country and the imperial family of Bei Ze, how many people really died? It's troublesome. Since he didn't really do anything to the princess, the prince might as well spare his life."

Xingchen pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.Qin Yixiao untied Bei Zehou, took out a token and held it in front of him.Bei Zehou was shocked: "This is... a token from my father to the owner of Fan Lou?"

"Exactly. Three years ago when your father committed a crime in front of Emperor Beize and wanted to spend money to save his life, if I, Fan Lou, hadn't generously donated the money, your branch would have already been turned into a pile of bones in the ground by now. "Xing Chen looked at Bei Zehou with sharp eyes, "As you said just now, you must not reveal a word to anyone about everything related to the princess. Otherwise, I can restore your Marquis Mansion for three years in no time. The situation before. Do you understand?"

Bei Zehou nodded again and again: "I didn't expect you to be the benefactor back then... Father has orders, and those who hold this token, but they have orders, and they will obey them. Please rest assured, I will never say a word!"

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but life crimes cannot be escaped. I heard that there is an island in the South China Sea, with poor mountains and bad waters, full of miasma. It just so happens that your Emperor Beize is looking for people with lofty ideals to open up wasteland, and the Marquis has always been loyal to the monarchy. How about..."

The Marquis of Beize kowtowed: "I will resign immediately to the emperor, and I will leave for Beize tonight, please go to open up wasteland!"

Xingchen glanced at him in disgust, turned and left.
