Chapter 192 - Betrayal
Back to Zhao Li Xin villa, when Jin Hao enter the study room he sees a weak man with paled face sits opposites his Lord the guan headdress on his head shown he must from noble family and when he looked closer he realizes is the Third prince Zhao Yi Chen, Jin Hao mouth curved slightly he ignore Zhao Yi Chen and he bows at Zhao Li Xin courteously.
"Greeting Milord"
Zhao Li Xin waves his hand lazily to sign him to raise, Zhao Yi Chen face turns livid again when Jin Hao ignoring his presence, the truth is no one inside Zhao Li Xin residence pay him attention and none of them care what title he got for Hei Shen only the Lord and the Young Miss Luo is worth there respect the other even the emperor is 'Meh..' for them
"Jin, can you cure him?" Zhao Li Xin asked lightly, they're's no comforting in his words, is good if he can cure him so he can reap benefit from it but its fined if he can't be cured too, no pressure…
Jin Hao stifles, the different treatment between Luo Ri Yi and other people is like heaven and hell for his Lord. Zhao Yi Chen also looks annoyed but he didn't say anything is not like they are friends.
Jin Hao checks Zhao Yi Chen's wrist for a few a minute than he looks at him with mockery "Is you're consort who gives you this?"
Zhao Yi Chen face turns red he covers his wrist behind his sleeve swiftly as if to hide his embarrassment, Zhao li Xin listens with an expressionless face "What is it?" he asked Jin Hao.
"Its Gu Milord, the same Gu she wants to give to Master Li," said Jin Hao while wiping his hand with a handkerchief.
Jin Hao words hit Zhao Yi Chen like lightning, how could she do this to him! That is the first thing come to his mind. Deep down Zhao Yi Chen truly love Lao Min Na and he would do anything for him, she doesn't need poison to control him, he already gives her his heart what else he wouldn't do for her?
"Lucky for you, the Gu is not mature yes so is not hard to treat," said Jin Hao nonchalantly than he takes a sit on the chair next to Zhao Yi Chen "But the process to get the Gi out of you're body is...how do I say this…." He murmured to himself than he looks at Zhao Yi Chen while twitching his nose jokingly "Disgusting!"
He felt Jin Hao deliberately mocking him but his heart is to shaken from what Lao Min Na did to him so he didn't pay attention. Zhao Yi Chen pinches the bridged between his eyebrows, the truth still shocking him and he can't stop asking 'WHY?'
Jin Hao chuckles watch how devastated Zhao Yi Chen is "Why are you so surprised about it?" he takes out his owned wine from his spatial ring and served himself a cup of wine, he knew Zhao Li Xin didn't like sharing other then with Luo Ri Yi.
"If you asking why let me give you four words to clear you're mind, Misty Lakes Jin Kai" than he sips his wine with a sneer.
Zhao Yi Chen froze, he looks at Jin Hao with disbelieved expression than he shifts his gaze to Zhao Li Xin's lazy expression "What do you mean? That can't be true!" Zhao Yi Chen naturally knew who Jin Kai is and Misty Lakes also famous as a powerful clan that no one dares to trifle with, how could Lao Min Na have a relation with the Young Master of Jin family?
"What? Leaving you for a better life?" Jin Hao laughs at Zhao Yi Chen gullible. Everyone said Zhao Yi Chen is the smart one among all the princes what a joke no wonder his Lord could ruin the whole country with the click of his finger.
"Why….why she do this to me?" Zhao Yi Chen withstand his forehead with his hand he looks distraught and defeated, never in million years he would have thought the beautiful girl he met that day would treat him like an old shoes, is he not love her enough, is he not gives enough, why she didn't tell him anything, he would do anything for her.
"Why? Its easy isn't it, better resource, better prospect, better opportunity and…..better looks" Jin Hao said casually didn't care how terrible Zhao Yi Chen looks by now, Zhao Li Xin didn't make a comment but he slightly tilted his head to agree with Jin Hao.
Zhao Yi Chen's shoulder trembles and it trembles profusely and than he laughs out loud, he laughs at his foolishness. He always thought he is the smartest among the crowd but he was a fool by a woman who is not reaching her twenty! If that's not stupidity he doesn't know what it is!
Zhao Yi Chen hit his arms rest "FINE! Cured me and I give everything you want even the Jiang Wei Kingdom!" he said with determination filled in his eyes, they're's no more love he felt for Lao Min Na only hatred.
Zhao Li Xin sigh "If I want the Kingdom, don't you think I already have by know…"
"Pardon me..." Zhao Yi Chen chuckles "Than what do you want, you won't help me for free isn't it?"
"No, of course, not...I want Lao Min Na" said Zhao Li Xin.
"What? You like that woman?" Zhao Yi Chen was stunned.
Zhao Li Xin squints his eyes in disgusted "Eww…of course not, I want her death" he said casually, he learned to say 'eww' because Lory used to say it whenever she disgusted on something, he found it endearing and he starts to pick up her habit.
"Oh, why not just kill her now?" Zhao Yi Chen asked indifferently when people hear it no one would know he was fell in love with that same woman.
"Too easy….I like to see her bleed" Zhao Li Xin said with quiet voice "The only thing she valued in this world is power, so I thought it would be fun if I pluck her power little by little….until I reduced her into nothing, I will make her understand she's nothing more than an ant in my eyes….a worthless" Zhao Li Xin words calm and cold his eyes reflect nothing but emptiness.
Zhao Yi Chen feel his blood turns cold, the chills run down to his spine he unconsciously gulped his saliva "Why you hated her so much?" he curiously asked.
Zhao Li Xin gives Zhao Yi Chen an eerie smiles "She wanted to take something important to me, something….irreplaceable, so I will take everything from her….and perhaps having fun while doing it" Zhao Li Xin chuckle a little when he imagines Lao Min Na desperate face but for Zhao Yi Chen his simple chuckle terrified him, than he understands why his Father Emperor didn't dare to mess with Zhao Li Xin.
"So, I want you to do something for me…" Zhao Li Xin straighten his back with devious smiles plastered on his face "But first I want to ask, can you act?
"...…"
