You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

Chapter 272 Playing the long game to catch the big fish

Wu Tong was trembling all over, with tears in his eyes. He looked at the sinister man in front of him with fear and swallowed his saliva uncontrollably.

She knew very well that it would be as easy for Wu Congyu to kill her as to crush an ant.

I was too careless and shouldn't have angered him at this time.

"Brother... what you are teaching me is that Tong'er knows she is wrong." She kept admitting her mistakes.

Wu Congyu slowly loosened his hand, and Wu Tong, who had lost his balance, fell uncontrollably to the ground, his whole body like a puddle of mud.

The man stood beside her, wiping his fingers absentmindedly, as if the murderous expression just now was not revealed by him, and said lightly: "Since you know you are wrong, then change your ways."

Wu Tong lowered his eyebrows and nodded gently.

The man suddenly walked around to her, his eyes scrutinizing, as if he was probing something. After a long silence, he raised his hand and took some of the gold hairpins and step-shakes from her head.

"The prince doesn't like these vulgar things. From tomorrow on, I'll have someone deliver your clothes to you."

Xiao Su is the crown prince and he has seen all kinds of women. If he really likes pretentious people, he would have had many wives and concubines long ago.

Speaking of Cui Yingying, it's no wonder that he likes her. She is indeed very extraordinary.

Casual and free, like the sun, making people want to get closer.

His words were filled with unquestionable authority, and Wu Tong couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

Wu Congyu threw those vulgar things away and left the messy house without looking back.

"Wu Congyu!"

When the man completely disappeared from his sight, Wu Tong could no longer suppress his inner anger. He glared at the direction where he left with gritted teeth, and every word he said was full of murderous intent. "One day, I will definitely kill you."

The woman's insults did not reach Wu Congyu's ears. After he left, a secret guard came towards him, whispered a few words in his ear, and went to the study room.

The thick white snow outside the window pressed on the branches and covered the red plum blossoms. In such a dust-free scene, there stood a man in black, wrapped tightly with only a pair of sharp eyebrows and eyes.

"It seems that the young marquis's proposal of marriage is not going well." The other party's voice was deliberately disguised, hoarse and unpleasant, like the sound of stepping on snow.

Wu Congyu waved his hand to dismiss the people around him, walked straight to the desk and sat down, staring at him straight, and smiled jokingly, "If I succeed, I'm afraid there will be nothing for you, right?"

"Didn't you come here to make a deal with me?"

The other party frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude, but it was only fleeting, and he said indifferently: "Young Marquis is indeed a smart man. In this way, our cooperation should be more pleasant."

"I will ensure that the young marquis marries Princess Chaoxi, and the young marquis and I will join forces to get rid of the crown prince."

The mockery in Wu Congyu's eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by doubt and coldness, as if he wanted to see through the other's disguise and see his true face.

The hands on the table involuntarily curled up, and he sneered, "Why do you think I will agree to such a ridiculous condition of yours?"

"Get rid of the prince? Just you?"

"What good will it do me if the prince dies?"

"The young marquis is a smart man. He should know that the prince hates the Wu family and the queen mother to the core. Once he succeeds to the throne, the first family he will kill will definitely be the Wu family!"

"Young Marquis, besides cooperating with me, is there any other way?" The man in black raised his eyebrows and said confidently.

Wu Congyu fell silent, poured himself a cup of tea in silence, and did not respond for a long time.

Getting rid of the prince sounds challenging and fun.

The other party continued to bewitch, "Doesn't the young marquis like Princess Chaoxi?"

"Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. As long as you and I join forces, she will be the young marquis's."

When Wu Congyu heard his words, he was stunned on the spot. He raised his head abruptly and looked at the other person in disbelief as he tore off the disguise on his face.

This person was none other than the deceased general who protected the country, Cui Yingying’s father.

"It's you!"

……

"Boom!"

In the palace, Cui Yingying, who had finally been liberated, had just sat in the bedroom arranged by the Queen. She was about to pour herself a cup of tea, but her hand suddenly trembled, causing the cup to fall to the ground.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Lian Li was so scared that he quickly wiped her hands.

Cui Yingying rubbed her chest, shook her head, and said distressedly: "It's nothing, I just feel depressed and my right eyelid keeps twitching."

"Maybe I didn't get enough rest." Lian Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Heng on the opposite side was drinking tea in big gulps and complaining non-stop, all of which was about his dissatisfaction with the palace.

There was an endless stream of treasonous words, and Cui Yingying's mouth twitched when she heard them. If she were the emperor, she would have wanted to chop this guy to death.

I really don’t know what the princess sees in him.

"You said that the Queen Mother wants to see me tomorrow. What should I do?" Cui Yingying looked at the two of them with a worried look on her face.

Before she finished the task assigned by the system, she was targeted by the Queen Mother.

Moreover, that person is close to His Majesty. If I rashly tell the Emperor that he is a spy, it will definitely fail and I will be outmaneuvered.

But if the spy is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will bring big trouble. After all, her father has already betrayed the country. The two of them are secretly communicating and exchanging information. Sooner or later, the Great Chu will be destroyed.

I wanted to tell Xiao Su, but I was afraid that he wouldn't believe me.

"What to do? Just counter each move with a countermove. You were summoned by the Queen, and nominally you are the Queen's person. The Queen Mother dare not touch you. She will only embarrass you." Liang Heng was very experienced in this kind of thing. He peeled an orange while perfunctorily doing it.

Cui Yingying tutted and sent Lian Li away, then she leaned closer to him and said mysteriously, "But don't I still have to catch the spies? If the Queen Mother gets involved, how can I have time to catch the spies? If it's too late, I'm worried that Your Majesty will be in danger."

Liang Heng paused while peeling the orange, and his expression became serious. Xiao Su's intention in this matter was to hold back and play the long game to catch the bigger fish.

"You have just entered the palace, there is no need to rush. There are so many eyes staring at you right now, so you should take a long-term view." Liang Heng thought for a moment and perfunctorily answered her with an evasive look.

Cui Yingying could only agree reluctantly.

Little did they know that after nightfall, out of sight of everyone, Liang Heng put on a nightgown and fled out of the palace, heading straight for the Prince's residence with a clear goal in mind.

Just as he was groping towards Xiao Su's study room with familiarity and jumping in through the window without any hesitation, Han Liang, Cui Changqing and the others inside all looked at him.

Liang Heng: "..."

Why does it feel like a thief being caught?

"Why, did you agree to come here together to call me to task?" Xiao Su asked calmly.
