Chapter 263 Everyone’s destination has been arranged
Lin Daiyu looked at Prince Beijing's arrogant and conceited appearance and couldn't help laughing:
"You yourself said that the people I see most often nowadays are the Queen Mother and the Supreme Lord.
"I dared to go to Gusu in Jiangnan alone. Didn't I say hello to the Queen Mother and ask them for a protective amulet?"
Prince Beijing's face suddenly darkened.
Lin Daiyu looked at him coldly: "Prince Beijing, do you have the courage to ask someone to bring Chu Neiguan in?"
Prince Beijing's face was gloomy. Facing Daiyu's contemptuous gaze, he finally couldn't stand the provocation and shouted:
"Someone! Bring Chu Neiguan up!"
After a moment outside, someone finally answered, "Yes!"
Prince Beijing sat stiffly on the chair, clenched his fists tightly, and stared at Lin Daiyu's cold and contemptuous face.
In his entire life, from birth till now, there has never been a woman who dared to face him with such an expression!
He must tear this expression apart!
He must make this face smile at him! Smile at him flatteringly! Smile in a flattering way!
Just like the dozens or hundreds of women in the backyard of the palace!
After a long while, just when Prince Beijing had irritably gulped down a cup of cold tea in one gulp, someone finally walked in.
It was Liao Changshi who came back with two guards, one on the left and one on the right, escorting Chu Kai.
At this time, the rope on Chu Qi's wrist and the towel in his mouth had not been taken off.
Liao Changshi walked in, looked at the situation, and whispered to King Beijing:
"After all, Chu Neiguan was given to the princess by the Queen Mother from the palace. Why not untie him?"
Prince Beijing didn't even look at Liao Changshi, but said coldly to Lin Daiyu: "Eunuch Chu is here.
"Whatever tricks you have, show them to me. See if I can spare your life!"
Liao Changshi shuddered when he heard this. Seeing that Prince Beijing actually had murderous intentions, he hurriedly advised:
"Your Majesty, didn't we agree that we would just ask the princess to go to Yangzhou to stabilize the situation?"
Prince Beijing interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Zhao Qing is so smart, why bother pretending in front of her?
“I intend to use her to stabilize Jiangnan, but more importantly, she must enter my Beiwang Mansion and become my Beijingwang’s woman!
"She is so ungrateful and always tries to use the imperial court, the country, and justice to pressure me!
"If I let her go easily, who will obey me in the future?!
"Stop talking so much!
"I will make my own decision on this matter!"
Liao Changshi faced Daiyu, looked at the profile of Prince Beijing, and had his back to the cabin door, constantly winking at Prince Beijing.
But Prince Beijing's eyes were fixed on Daiyu, and he didn't notice his look at all.
But Daiyu noticed it.
With a slight arc on her lips, Daiyu pointed at Chu Kua and said to King Beijing:
"Inside Chu's arms is a gold medal from the Yanjia Palace bestowed by the Queen Mother!
"Prince Beijing, for the sake of this gold medal, should you give way and let me decide whether to stay or go?"
Prince Beijing's pupils suddenly shrank!
Queen Mother's token?
He only knew that Daiyu had a Kunning Palace token bestowed by Empress Wan, but he had never heard that she was also given one in Yanjia Palace!
Having the Queen Mother's token in hand is equivalent to the Queen Mother herself being present!
Not to mention asking him to make way for Lin and let her go; even if he used the token to mobilize the officers of Suzhou government to protect her, Suzhou government could not refuse!
——So, why didn't she use this token against herself before?
She, cheats!
"You don't even have the token of Yanjia Palace?
“Although the Queen Mother is old and confused, and dotes on you, a few uncultured girls, it is impossible for her to give you such an important thing!
"You must know that since the Empress Dowager entered the palace, she has never given the token of her palace to outsiders for decades!"
Prince Beijing sneered and immediately raised his hand and pointed, "Come here, search for me!"
Liao Changshi hesitated for a moment and did not dare to step forward.
Upon seeing this, a guard immediately took action and first took the handkerchief off Chu Qie's mouth.
Chu Qian nodded and pointed to his waist with his chin: "It's right there."
The guard fumbled around a bit and pulled out a cloth bag from the pouch on his waist. He poured out the contents and placed it in his palm.
He walked up to Prince Beijing, raised his hands above his head, bent down and reported: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a gold medal!"
Prince Beijing's face turned pale and blue. He gritted his teeth, a cruel look flashed in his eyes, and reached out to take the gold medal.
With just a glance, he saw three words "Yanjia Palace" clearly cast on it!
Prince Beijing’s eyebrows jumped violently!
Lin Daiyu curved her cherry lips, pushed Zijuan and Qingwen aside with both hands, and stood in front of them with her head held high, looking directly at Prince Beijing:
"Is Your Majesty..."
However, before she could say anything, Prince Beijing suddenly smiled sinisterly, raised the hand holding the gold medal, and threw it towards the window beside him!
The palm-sized gold medal of the Empress Dowager, engraved with the three words "Yanjia Palace" and so thick that it was slightly heavy in the hand, drew an arc and flew out of the window!
In just three breaths, everyone in the cabin was stunned, and heard a soft sound: "Plop."
Lin Daiyu was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide, covered it with a handkerchief, and took a breath of cold air!
Chu Qian shouted angrily: "Prince Beijing! Are you crazy?!"
The guard beside him raised his hand and stuffed the handkerchief back into his mouth without saying a word!
Lin Daiyu followed Chu Qian's words in disbelief and asked, "Prince Beijing, do you know that deliberately destroying the things bestowed by the emperor is a crime punishable by death and extermination of the entire family?"
Prince Beijing sneered: "When did I destroy the gift from the emperor? Who saw it?"
"You!" Lin Daiyu was speechless.
Prince Beijing smiled arrogantly, stood up, walked to the window, held the window frame with both hands, and looked out at the dark night and the gloomy river:
"Princess Zhaoqing fell into the water and died while accompanying me to Yangzhou.
"As for those who serve you—
"In order to save you, Eunuch Chu also jumped into the river, but the waves were too strong and he died of exhaustion, and his body was never fished out.
"These two girls were truly loyal servants. When they saw you dead, they felt so guilty that they committed suicide to serve their master.
"Oh, there are also gifts from the emperor? I have never seen them."
With a slight smile, he turned around and looked at Liao Changshi and the two guards, his face full of ferocious bloodthirstiness, "Could it be that you saw it? No? Otherwise, try to fish it out. Maybe it sank to the bottom of the river with the princess?"
Liao Changshi's face turned pale, his knees softened, and he fell to the ground, crying loudly, knocking his head hard on the floor: "Prince!"
Prince Beijing looked at him calmly and laughed, "Old Liao, you are too timid.
“I told you when we were in the capital that between Lin and me, the Supreme would always choose me.
"It just depends on whether the reasons I give are enough to fool people."
He raised his head high, looked at the brightly lit Suzhou City above the dock again, and said indifferently,
"Lin, at this point, do you have any tricks left?"
Lin Daiyu stared at his profile for a while, then shook her head and said softly:
"Prince Beijing, you have been possessed by a demon. There is no cure."
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out, pulled out the golden hairpin from her head, and put it to her throat.
“My last resort is to rather die than surrender.
"So, you would rather watch an innocent woman bleed to death five steps in front of you than give up your pathetic arrogance?"
