Chapter 32 The Queen has arrived, waiting for good things

After listening to the black-clothed man's words, Li Chengze said, "I didn't expect that my head is worth three thousand taels of gold."

"Then you should know who hired the murderer."

The man in black shook his head and gritted his teeth, "No... I don't know. We just take the money and never ask who the buyer is."

"Is that so?" Li Chengze nodded and said, "Then go back and tell the buyer that if you want to do this kind of thing again in the future, it's best to find some powerful people."

"Otherwise, it would only be embarrassing."

The man in black nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely pass on the message."

Li Chengze threw away the steel knife in his hand and waved to the man in black, "Okay, you can go now."

When the man in black saw that Li Chengze let him go, he didn't care about the pain in his body, stood up in a hurry, and ran quickly to the front, and soon disappeared.

At this time, Li Cunxiao came over and said to Li Chengze: "Your Highness, are you going to let him go just like that?"

Li Chengze nodded and said, "He is just a minor character. There is no point in keeping him."

"Besides, since the prince is looking for someone, he will definitely not do it himself."

"Even if we use him as a witness, it has nothing to do with the prince."

When Li Chengze said this, a sneer immediately appeared on his face: "Since the prince wants to play, then I will play with him."

"What's the point of it being over all at once? It would be most satisfying to let him suffer fear slowly."

"I want him to know that even if he lives in the palace, he is not absolutely safe."

"If I want to kill him, I can do it anytime!"

Then, Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the city."

……

At the same time, in the East Palace, the prince's bedroom.

Li Chengqian was still lying on the bed like he did yesterday, flipping through some novels and storybooks, and laughing from time to time.

Just as he continued laughing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Empress is here."

When Li Chengqian heard the sound outside the door, he immediately closed the book in his hand, stuffed it into the quilt, and pretended to be in agony.

“Ouch… Ouch.”

Soon, the bedroom door was opened, and a dignified and elegant middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a brown palace dress walked in.

There was no expression on her face, and she looked lifeless, without a trace of energy.

The beautiful middle-aged woman folded her hands on her waist, walked into the room, and slowly walked towards Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian saw the person coming, he immediately nodded and said, "Your Highness greets your Majesty."

The person who came was the prince's biological mother and Emperor Qing's first wife.

The queen walked in front of Li Chengqian, and the maid beside her was quick to move a stool from the side and placed it behind her.

After the queen sat on the stool, she was about to speak when a trace of panic flashed across her brows, especially her hands in her sleeves, which began to tremble unconsciously.

"Hurry...turn on the light!"

"Remember to order more."

"Yes, I'll light it right away." The palace maid beside her immediately walked to the side, took out a fire starter from her sleeve, and lit the lamp in the room.

It was noon at this moment, and the already bright room looked even more dazzling under the candlelight.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Li Chengqian didn't say much.

Because he knew that his mother was afraid of the dark, so she would always light candles in the room whether it was day or night, otherwise she would feel very uneasy.

Li Chengqian knew about this matter. It was all because of the murder of Ye Qingmei that year.

After Ye Qingmei's tragic death, her followers, knowing that the queen mother's family was involved in the incident, began to take bloody revenge. That night, in the dark night, Chen Pingping, the president of the Supervisory Council, and Fan Jian, the Si Nanbo, and others killed all of the queen mother's family.

That night, blood flowed like a river, the entire family was slaughtered, and no one survived except the queen mother.

Although they did not touch the Queen Mother, it does not mean that they have let her go. Instead, it has made the Queen Mother live in fear all day long, which is more painful than killing her.

Because, ever since her family was massacred, the Queen Mother has been traumatized and is very afraid of the darkness.

Whether it was day or night, she would light candles all over the house, trying to dispel the darkness in her heart, and she was also afraid that Ye Qingmei's followers would come to assassinate her.

Even the headdresses worn on the head have become weapons for self-defense.

The Queen Mother once said that she could not forget the screams and wails of her relatives when they were killed in front of her eyes, but she was unable to do anything.

Even with his eyes blindfolded, he could still clearly feel the blood all over the ground and the scene of his loved ones being slaughtered.

Li Chengqian glanced at the queen and began to make up his mind.

When he becomes emperor in the future, the first thing he will do is to kill Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and others to avenge his mother's entire family!

When the queen saw the palace maids light the candles, she felt a little relieved. She exhaled slowly and looked at Li Chengqian who was lying on the bed.

Then, with a gloomy face, he said, "How did you get into this state?"

Li Chengqian said hurriedly: "Mother, calm down. This was an accident."

The Queen said coldly: "Accident?"

"You were able to fall for such a low-quality trick. Where have you learned from the books that you were asked to study?"

"Remember, you are the crown prince, the heir to the throne. From now on, the entire country will belong to you!"

"But now, if you can't even defeat a little prince, how can you inherit the throne?"

Li Chengqian also felt ashamed and said with his head down: "Don't worry, mother, I know this, and I will never let this happen again."

The queen sighed helplessly and waved to the maid beside her.

The palace maid understood what he meant and immediately took out a wine jug and handed it to her.

The queen took the wine jug, opened it and took a few sips before returning it to the maid.

Then, she said, "In the future, use your brain more and don't think things are too simple."

"Do you understand?"

Li Chengqian nodded immediately and said, "Mother, what you said is absolutely right. I understand."

The queen nodded with satisfaction, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table next to her.

"This is excellent medicine, which is extremely effective for your wound. I will have the servants apply it to you later."

"You can't leave the palace recently, so reflect on yourself."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I understand."

Seeing that Li Chengqian was sincere in admitting his mistake, the Queen said nothing more, stood up and walked outside.

After the queen left the bedroom, Li Chengqian snorted coldly, his eyes full of viciousness.

This time, even if he was punished by his father, he had to kill his second brother, otherwise he would not be able to sleep or eat in peace!

However, according to the previous plan, if those guys succeeded, my second brother would be dead.

By then, he can kill people to silence them without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian continued to pick up the storybook and read it.

He now just waits for good news.

After leaving the East Palace, the Queen did not return to her own bedroom, but walked towards the Guangxin Palace.

She now wants to talk to the eldest princess about the murder.
