Chapter 764
King Zhou had fallen into madness and kept swinging his sword at Yang Shu. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Princess Zhou was so frightened by this horrific scene that she fell to the ground. She was too close, and her face and body were splattered with blood, but she didn't dare to hide, let alone make a sound.
King Zhou was obviously mad with rage at this time, and she was afraid that she would provoke King Zhou and he would just chop her with a knife.
The others didn't dare to speak.
Until King Zhou finally woke up from his madness.
He was startled at first, then he looked coldly at the corpse on the ground that was no longer in human form. He threw the knife in his hand and turned to walk out.
"Get rid of it!"
The three words uttered by King Zhou were extremely cold, as if the body lying on the ground was not the corpse of his legitimate daughter, but an insignificant dead dog.
Princess Zhou trembled, but dared not say anything.
As King Zhou's back gradually disappeared into the distance, Doctor Wang and the guards quickly retreated.
She looked at the bodies of her son and daughter helplessly, smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and finally cried out in despair.
The whole yard was filled with her suppressed and painful cries, which made the servants even more anxious.
This place is magnificent, with jade buildings, carved corridors and painted buildings, and countless rare and precious plants.
Now it seems to have turned into a terrible cage, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
No one expected that things would turn out like this in just half a day.
Yang Xiu and Yang Shu finally made it back to Gusu alive from the capital, but now they have become two corpses.
On the other side, after King Zhou left, he immediately arranged for hot water bathing.
Only after the strong smell of blood was washed off his body and his whole body was wrapped in the scent of ambergris did King Zhou's expression look a little better.
A handsome servant was gently drying his hair when someone announced from behind the curtain, "Your Highness, Mr. Jia wishes to see you."
King Zhou thought of Jia Rui and his expression suddenly became serious: "Let him in!"
When Jia Rui walked into the room, King Zhou immediately dismissed the servants and left only Jia Rui.
He asked in a deep voice, "Sir, are you here to see me about those two evildoers?"
Jia Rui naturally heard the news. He deliberately waited until now to come over, just to wait for King Zhou's anger to subside.
He asked, "The young master and young lady had just returned to the palace when they both died.
Even though the two of them had been demoted to commoners, they were still the prince's flesh and blood after all, and they couldn't just disappear without a clear reason.
I wonder how the prince plans to announce the news of their deaths to the public?"
When King Zhou thought of the tragic deaths of Yang Xiu and Yang Shu, his face became extremely ugly.
In particular, although the poison had already penetrated into Yang Shu's internal organs and no medicine could cure her, she was killed by him personally!
He did not answer but asked, "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
Jia Rui saw that he was trying to evade the question, so he suggested, "If Your Majesty feels embarrassed, why not tell the public that the young master and young lady were killed by an assassin, and that the assassin was hacked to death by the guards?"
King Zhou's expression changed.
He knew that once Jia Rui's statement was followed, Yang Shu's body would become the assassin's.
In this way, the knife marks on the body naturally have a reasonable explanation.
But once she became an assassin, her body could no longer be buried as Yang Shu's.
Even so, King Zhou nodded without hesitation: "As you say, sir."
He even smiled with satisfaction, "I knew it. You are a man of swift intellect, a rare talent. With your help, nothing is impossible for me."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Jia Rui was humble at first, then he sighed and said, "Your Highness, have you guessed the identity of the real murderer?
Originally, after the young master and young lady came back, they arranged for the young lady to go to Baiyun Temple to become a nun and reform herself, which could effectively restore some of her reputation.
But now that both the young master and the young lady have died suddenly, even if the news of the assassin is released, I am afraid that the world will still make random speculations, which will be detrimental to the prince."
