The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 357: Don’t Be Afraid, Prince Consort

Before Xie Pinggang could react, a firework had been sent into the air. It did not seem like… it was a joke.

“Your Highness?” Xie Pinggang looked puzzled, “Why are you surrounding the Zhou family? Is there… a thief hiding here?”

Zhao Xuanjing smiled at him, “This time, it’s all thanks to you that we were able to discover the Zhou family’s evil intentions. When the truth is out, I will report to the Consort Dowager and the Emperor about your contribution and reward you accordingly!”

What?!

What contributions did he make?!

Xie Pinggang was really confused. He did not understand at all, “Your Highness, I…”

He only came to the Zhou Residence today and did nothing?!

No, he only said a couple of words to His Highness today!

“My Eldest Sister said that…” Xie Pinggang pointed in the direction of the house in disbelief. After thinking carefully, he frowned and said with a grim face, “Could it be that… there’s evidence of rebellion hidden in those couple of words?”

“Rebellion? That’s not it, but the crime isn’t much better than a rebellion,” The Crown Prince looked at Xie Pinggang’s silly look and was quite happy.

If Princess Xingmo’s corpse was really fished out, the Zhou family would not be able to avoid the crime of plotting against the royal family.

The Consort Dowager’s long-cherished wish could finally be fulfilled.

At that moment, Xie Pinggang wished he could bring Xie Qiao over and ask her in detail.

It was too strenuous to talk to the Crown Prince.

If his eldest sister dared to talk to him in such a strange manner, he would have slapped her. However, this was the Crown Prince. Even if he did not understand these words, he could only endure it.

Not long after the fireworks that carried the message fell, there was a commotion outside.

The Zhou Residence was in chaos.

A large group of soldiers charged from outside. Three troops inside and three troops outside, completely surrounding the Zhou Residence.

“Princess! The officers and soldiers have broken in!” Someone immediately went to the house to report the news.

Princess Luo Shu was not scared when she heard that. Instead, she frowned and said, “Who brought the soldiers? Have you asked who they’re investigating?”

The Zhou family was so big. Perhaps there was a junior under them who was insensible and had done something illegal.

“I-It’s the Crown Prince’s men… The Crown Prince has sent 5,000 elite soldiers. The outside is completely surrounded. There are still 2,000 people. At this moment… They have gone into the garden…” The servant immediately said.

As soon as these words were said, the princess’ expression changed, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the Prince Consort.

The Prince Consort was an extremely gentle person.

He was almost half a hundred years old now, but the years had not left many traces on his face. One could still see his handsome and majestic appearance from back then.

Everyone knew that the love between the Prince Consort and Princess Luo Shu was deep.

For the sake of the princess, Prince Consort Zhou had even hidden away his talents, concealing his glorious body. He was willing to take on an idle position and be an outsider.

The princess was also very attentive to the Prince Consort. The Princess’ mansion had been empty for many years. Ever since the marriage, the princess had lived in the Zhou Residence, taking care of her in-laws and raising her children. She was extremely attentive.

“Don’t be afraid, Prince Consort,” Princess Luo Shu looked at him worriedly.

Prince Consort Zhou’s expression did not look too great.

Immediately after, the other members of the Zhou family rushed into the house.

The guests in the house were also in chaos.

The Crown Prince walked in again.

“My good nephew, shouldn’t you explain to me why you did this? My Zhou family has always been dutiful. How did we offend you, nephew, to make you embarrass me at this time?” Princess Luo Shu said.

Hearing that, the Crown Prince only smiled lightly.

Then, he waved. Zhou Weizong brought his men forward.

“All of the guests present, please stay in the guest room for the time being. After we’ve sorted out the people outside, we will escort everyone out,” As Zhou Weizong said, he ordered his men to capture all the members of the Zhou family.
