Chapter 144: Life is worse than death (4)
Zhou Yan's appearance immediately made the blue-clothed people under Huanling alert. One side was wary of Canfeng and Xia Wenyu, and both sides immediately took up their positions and were ready to fight at any time. As for Zhou Yan's followers, it goes without saying that they had already been ready to go.
If you ask who Zhou Yan is looking at, there is no need to guess. He has no idea how long he has not seen Yin Yin. He only knows that every day without Yin Yin is like a year. His eyes have been locked on Yin Yin for a long time. When he saw the shocking wounds on Yin Yin's body, his hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists.
Since she recovered all her memories, Yinyin has thought about how to face Zhou Yan, but she has been struggling to find the answer. Until now, she should have hated him, but she couldn't hate him after seeing him. It is undeniable that Zhou Yan had done unforgivable things to her, but on the contrary, how many times had Zhou Yan saved her? At the most dangerous moment, he always risked his life to save her, just like now, Yinyin can still feel his heart from his concerned eyes; Yinyin knew Zhou Yan's feelings a long time ago, and she sometimes wanted to know if she was really worth this person's efforts? Maybe she couldn't find the answer before, but now, Yinyin knows that as long as he really loves someone, he will do everything, even at the cost of his life. Zhou Yan loves himself, or more accurately, Yinyin, so deeply. If the person Yinyin really likes is Zhou Yan, then everything will be different?
"You are here too, Prince Jing. As expected, you are everywhere wherever there are dancers." Huan Ling smiled at Zhou Yan.
Perhaps it was because of the voice of Huan Ling that Zhou Yan came back to his senses and turned his gaze to Huan Ling. He felt very disdainful of Huan Ling's words and sneered: "It's you."
This made Huan Ling raise his eyebrows slightly and asked: "What do you mean?"
Not only Huan Ling, Can Feng was also puzzled. He knew very well that Zhou Yan's words were not without reason. Could it be that he already knew something? Xia Wenyu was also puzzled. From the moment Zhou Yan appeared, he had already lost in terms of momentum. Of course, Zhou Yan and Zhao Ziheng must be slightly inferior, at least that's what Xia Wenyu thought.
"Do you need me to explain it clearly?" Zhou Yan had a blank expression and a very cold tone.
Huan Ling smiled and said: "I don't know what Prince Jing is referring to. Isn't this Prince Jing trying to make things difficult for me?"
At this time, Zhou Yan raised his lips with a smile that was obviously sarcastic, and said: "Do you think these words coming out of your face are convincing?"
Even the dumbest person at the scene could understand what Zhou Yan said. Huan Ling's expression froze. After looking at Zhou Yan for a long time, he finally said, "I wonder how my appearance offends Prince Jing?"
If Zhou Yan's words were considered sarcasm, then Huan Ling's words could be considered an outright provocation, as well as playing dumb.
"It's you, right? The mastermind who has always wanted to kill Yin Yin." Zhou Yan answered the question indifferently.
"Why do you say that?" Huan Ling continued to play dumb.
Canfeng, Xia Wenyu and the others were also curious. Even though they knew something, they still subconsciously wanted to hear Zhou Yan himself to see how much he actually knew.
"Do you want me to point them out one by one?" Zhou Yan sneered.
The phantom shrugged and gave a continued response.
Zhou Yan then said: "You killed that woman Jiang Ruting, right?"
Zhou Yan's tone towards his former future sister-in-law was devoid of any politeness or even human warmth; he was simply stating a fact.
From Zhou Yan's previous words, Huan Ling was not surprised to understand this.
"I checked. When Yin Yin disappeared, they only looked for you. But the imperial guards got the news soon after that. I don't expect those good-for-nothings to find Yin Yin. But it would be different if someone tipped off the others."
The meaning is very clear, this is only possible for the phantom spirit that Yin Yin has come into contact with.
"At first, on the day that woman disappeared, you actually wanted to frame the crime on King Zhao, who was still the crown prince at the time, right? Because at that time, besides him, you and Yin Yin were all together, and my brother and I would not be suspected at all, so you were able to create clues to frame him; at first, the woman just fell into your hands and did not die, but then the Yin Yin incident happened. After she came to you, you deliberately revealed the news of Yin Yin's whereabouts to the imperial guards, and on the other hand arranged the woman's death. Then that scene happened to appear, and Yin Yin was successfully framed as the murderer. When she lost all trust, she chose to end her life in an extreme way, and this matter ended because of this."
What Yinyin and the others knew was only a rough outline, but they did not expect Zhou Yan to be able to explain it in such detail, which showed that he had conducted a thorough investigation. Huanling had no objection to this at all.
"Then there was the assassination of Crown Princess Shu Ji on the wedding day of Prince Zhao, who was then the Crown Prince. I believe that was also arranged by you, right? First of all, you didn't expect Yin Yin to be alive. Even if you didn't confirm whether it was her, you still wanted to kill her. Then Prince Zhao took the opportunity to keep Yin Yin in the palace to commit the bloody incident on the wedding night. Yin Yin was therefore regarded as the murderer and was locked up. The fact that Prince Zhao protected Yin Yin must have been beyond your expectations, right? In your plan, when Yin Yin was found to be the murderer, she would be executed by slow slicing, right?" Zhou Yan stated word by word.
