Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 230: Face to face (Part )

Zuo Qiu's eyes passed Tao Yao, and he looked behind her. He snorted again and said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Lord Song? Are you here to join in the fun too?"

Even if Song Zhishou was angry, he couldn't show it in front of so many officials, so he had to endure it.

Tao Yao, unable to bear it any longer, swung the golden hairpin in her hand and scratched a long red mark on Zuo Qiu's cheek. In an instant, bright red blood splattered from Zuo Qiu's temples and landed on the crimson gauze curtain hanging high beside him, like a few red plum blossoms blooming.

Zuo Qiu felt a cold pain at his temples belatedly. He raised his hand to wipe the blood off the side of his cheek, then put the red stain on his sleeve in front of his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and laughed out loud.

"Shi Taoyao, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've grown a lot—you're still as brave as ever."

Zuoqiu took another step closer to Taoyao.

Tao Yao was not afraid at all, her eyes were as white as snow, and she stared back at him.

"I'll say it again, I want to see Prince Yi."

As Tao Yao spoke, she raised the golden hairpin in her hand in front of Zuo Qiu again.

At that time, everyone around was silent and the room was dead silent.

Tao Yao knew in her heart that if all this was really as it seemed now, and it was Zuo Tang's conspiracy, then Chu Huanjun must not be allowed to fall into their hands.

"Shi Taoyao, let me remind you again."

Zuoqiu's gaze was like a small knife, falling on people's bodies, as if it wanted to cut off the skin and bones bit by bit, which was creepy.

"This is the imperial palace. You're acting wildly in the palace. Do you want to die?"

Tao Yao's eyes passed him and looked behind the screen. Was Chu Huanjun there? She had to get him away from here, no matter what.

Everything in front of me seemed to have become empty. Zuo Qiu, the imperial physician, the emperor, everything was unimportant and didn't matter.

With a cold face, she forcefully pushed away Zuo Qiu who was blocking her way and walked straight behind the screen.

Faced with Tao Yao's disregard, Zuo Qiu became furious. He roared and called on everyone to come and stop Tao Yao.

In an instant, Tao Yao felt someone dragging her legs and feet, and grabbing her hands. Many people rushed over, preventing her from moving forward.

Song Zhishou stood beside them, waving his fists with his bare hands. These people were imperial physicians and civil officials who did not know how to fight, so he could not attack them.

No matter how strong Tao Yao was, she was no match for the crowd and was finally dragged to the ground. A huge feeling of powerlessness washed over Tao Yao like a tide. The crowd was noisy, but not a single sound belonged to Chu Huanjun.

Tao Yao used all her strength to push away the crowd in front of her and crawled towards the screen. Many feet stepped on her back. Those people used all their strength, as if they wanted to break her ribs.

The screen was clearly very close, but Tao Yao couldn't get close to it. She looked in the direction of the screen and kept calling Chu Huanjun's name, wanting him to answer her, even just one word.

If he were still awake, he would definitely not let her suffer such an injustice.

"Chu Huanjun, why haven't you woken up yet? Aren't you always the strongest?" Tao Yao asked in her heart.

Finally, someone accidentally knocked over the screen, and the paper painting on it broke instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

There was only a bed behind the screen, and it was empty, with nothing on it.

Chu Huanjun is not here.

By then, the room was a mess. Everyone had gotten up from the ground, except Tao Yao, who was still slumped in front of the screen, looking distraught.

Song Zhishou hurried over to support Tao Yao, but Tao Yao was like a stone, not moving at all.

Zuoqiu waved his hand, and the group of subordinates who had called him were about to evacuate, but suddenly they heard Tao Yao's voice coming from behind.

"I said, I want to see Prince Yi."

She repeated the sentence again.

Zuo Qiu wanted to tease her again, telling her that it was true, and that he had tricked her again. But as soon as he turned around, he was hit by a hard fist, his nose sore and his eyes swollen, and he could see stars.

Zuo Qiu rubbed his eyes and was about to see who had punched him when another punch came at him.

For a moment, Zuo Qiu felt a surge of sour heat in his mouth, as if a piece of his gum was missing. He quickly opened his eyes and looked down, only to find a complete tooth lying on the surface of his shoe.

At that moment, Tao Yao's cold voice came to my ears: "It just so happens that I can help you replace your teeth for free today. Only after your baby teeth are replaced can you grow into a qualified adult. I hope you don't grow crooked teeth in the future."

Zuo Qiu covered his mouth and was about to say something in rebuttal, but was then hit by four or five punches - the people throwing the punches did not intend to show mercy, and each punch hit the flesh, as if they really wanted to knock out all his teeth.

The next moment, Zuo Qiu felt someone grabbing the collar at the back of his neck and a hard knee pressed against his waist. Before he could make a move, Zuo Qiu quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy.

"Stop fighting! If you want to see Prince Yi, I'll tell you where he is!"

After saying this, Tao Yao finally stopped punching, but the hand that was holding Zuo Qiu's collar did not loosen. She pulled him in front of her and stared into his eyes: "If you dare to lie again, I will beat you so hard that you won't even recognize your own father."

"Let me tell you..."

Zuoqiu was really afraid of her and quickly gave in.

"Actually...actually, I don't know where Chu Huanjun is."

Zuoqiu avoided looking at him, and it took him a long time to utter these words.

"You dare to lie to me?!"

Tao Yao's eyes suddenly became fierce, and she gripped Zuo Qiu's collar with increased force, her nails practically digging into the skin of his neck. Zuo Qiu cried out in pain and quickly said, "My father only asked me to lure Lord Song here. It's not my place to interfere in other matters. Even if I wanted to know, I can't!"

"If you dare to lie to me again, you're dead!" Tao Yao stared at him intently.

Zuo Qiu's neck was twisted so hard by her that it hurt, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. However, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Shi Taoyao, this is the imperial palace. If we walk out of this door, it's still unknown whether you will die or I will live."

Tao Yao's eyes were as cold as snow: "It doesn't matter whether I live or die, but I can let you die right now."

After she finished speaking, Zuo Qiu, who was always as vicious as a snake and scorpion, couldn't help but get goose bumps on his back - indeed, she was incredibly courageous and dared to do things without hesitation. Under this situation, he really wasn't sure that she would really not kill him.

Since she broke into this door, she must have made up her mind to die.
