The Cruel Tyrant

END- 128

Zheng Jiu was thrown in front of Su Mu's bed in a pathetic state, clutching his chest which was radiating with severe pain as he walked towards Su Mu, who was not breathing at all, under several angry and hateful eyes.

Liu Xi's beautiful eyes immediately burst with flames of anger, and he stepped forward and kicked Zheng Jiu.

Huang Xuan, who was glaring at Zheng Jiu from the side, was also ready to go up and add his own kick, but Yun Feiyu beside him stopped him in time.

Liu Xi withdrew his foot bitterly, and said, "You better let His Highness wake up immediately, otherwise you and the Zheng Kingdom will both be consigned to eternal damnation!"

Zheng Jiu endured the pain in his body and said, "In three days, I will have him wake up in three days."

Seven days had passed since Ye Qingfeng's sleepless trip back and forth to the Shi Kingdom, and these three days were the last three days of the ten day deadline.

Time was precious so Yun Feiyu looked at Zheng Jiu coldly and said, "Now, begin now."

Under everyone's gaze Zheng Jiu walked towards Su Mu. A murderous look fell on him like a steel knife.

Zheng Jiu's pupils seemed to have a strange magical power. When he stared at Su Mu's closed eyes, Gu Yunzhou, who was connected with Su Mu's inner state, first felt that Su Mu's weak internal force suddenly grew a little bit.

The still heart suddenly began to beat slightly.

Zheng Jiu simply stared at Su Mu's closed eyes and in the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, it was as if he had been running a long distance in the desert for several days and nights. After he retracted his eyes, he immediately fell to the ground without strength.

Yun Feiyu gestured with his eyes, and the guards standing in Su Mu's bedroom immediately took Zheng Jiu away.

Huang Xuan threw himself in front of Su Mu's bed. His index and middle fingers touched Su Mu's left wrist. His eyes immediately burst with amazing brilliance, and he said excitedly: "There is a pulse, there is a pulse!"

Everyone present was greatly relieved.

Su Mu's current situation was still unstable, and Gu Yunzhou must remain by his side.

The others followed Huang Xuan to Feiyu Pavilion. In the days when Zheng Jiu was yet to be brought over, Huang Xuan and many talented doctors had checked Su Mu hundreds of times, and they all concluded that there were no vital signs.

But now Zheng Jiu restored Su Mu's pulse as soon as he arrived. Whether it was from the perspective of Su Mu's safety or the medical point of view, people could not ignore it all.

Based on the information obtained by Ye Qingfeng, Huang Xuan made a speculation.

"Fake death!" Liu Xi stared at Huang Xuan incredulously: "Is there such a thing?"

Huang Xuan sat on the chair and nodded solemnly: "I haven't seen this special situation personally before, but there are medical records. There were people who lost their heartbeat, pulse, and breath but still came back to life."

Ye Qingfeng nodded and said: "I once met a person from jianghu, who can make his pulse, breathing, heartbeat and body temperature the same as a dead person, but he can wake up at any time."

Huang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, although this situation is rare, it is not uncommon. His Highness does not have any internal or external injuries. Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for a good person to die suddenly. Combined with the news that Ye Qingfeng brought back, I think the most likely thing is that Zheng Jiu put His Highness in a suspended state through some means, and then according to common sense, we would naturally think that His Highness has....."

The people present shuddered one after another. If that were the case, wouldn't those who died a fake death be buried alive?

The four people's resentment towards Zheng Jiu reached a new height.

Yun Feiyu's gaze was like glacial waters in the dark, and even his words held a hint of coldness as he said: "Judging from Zheng Jiu's past behavior, he will definitely try his best to escape, and under our heavy monitoring there is basically no possibility of him escaping, unless....."

A flash of lightning flashed across Liu Xi's mind, and he immediately stood up and shouted involuntarily: "His Highness!"

Huang Xuan and Ye Qingfeng also reacted violently. The four of them rushed to Su Mu's bedroom in no particular order. Ye Qingfeng's qinggong was the best, and he disappeared as soon as he exited the door. When Yun Feiyu and the others arrived at Su Mu's bedroom, the first thing they saw was Gu Yunzhou who was severely injured.

"Where is His Highness?" The three asked in unison.

Gu Yunzhou shook his head and said with extreme difficulty, "I don't know."

The three were extremely anxious and immediately dispatched troops in a desperate pursuit.

On the outskirts of the imperial city, Zheng Jiu controlled Su Mu to place him on a patch of soft grass.

Then, light flashed in Su Mu's blank eyes. Su Mu, who woke up, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and felt very strange. He asked Zheng Jiu, who was laying seriously injured on the ground, "What is this?"

His memory still remained at the cabinet meeting in the chamber room, where they were discussing the Qing Kingdom's recuperation.

However, because Zheng Jiu had controlled him once, Su Mu immediately understood what was going on, and he looked at Zheng Jiu with dangerous eyes: "You put me under control again."

Su Mu's killing intent swept towards Zheng Jiu without concealment.

"Cough cough cough....." Zheng Jiu wiped the blood from his mouth with difficulty, and said in an out of breath tone, "No.....no need to waste energy, anyway.....I won't live long."

Su Mu didn't believe him, his hand had already clamped around Zheng Jiu's neck.

"Hehe....." Zheng Jiu looked at Su Mu's beautiful face and laughed happily, "It's only death. In death.....I will be free."

In the light golden eyes, the wildness and unwillingness to submit had not disappeared. Su Mu did not know why he was loyal to Shi Ran, but there must be some reason difficult to speak of.

However, Su Mu was not interested in knowing.....

"Crack."

Zheng Jiu's head fell softly to one side, completely losing his vitality.

Su Mu quickly returned to the palace. When he saw Gu Yunzhou who was seriously injured by himself, Su Mu suddenly regretted that Zheng Jiu died so swiftly.

Upon hearing the news that the Crown Prince had returned to the palace, the other four people who were still searching for him immediately rushed back to the palace. He looked at the four people staring at him eagerly and excitedly.

Recalling what Shi Nuo told him, what these people did for him in these past few days, Su Mu's heart warmed and his lips curved into an extremely charming smile.

When the Wu Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom learned that Su Mu was safe and sound, they all sighed in pity.

Regardless of their pity, the rise of the Qing Kingdom had become a foregone conclusion, and no one could stop it.
