The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 449: Gentle Sorrow

Xie Pinggang took action. His hammer-like fist smashed down on Zhao Xuzhi’s body.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!” The fist collided with Zhao Xuzhi’s body.

Zhao Xuzhi could not help but wail.

Xie Pinggang knew how to hurt a person without breaking their bones. He pressed all the strength in his body on the back of Zhao Xuzhi’s waist, making it impossible for him to fight back.

“I-I am Prince Ning Bei’s son!”

Xie Pinggang’s fist was like hail. The storm was almost over, yet Zhao Xu only managed to utter these few words!

“I don’t care whose son you are…” Xie Pinggang punched Zhao Xuzhi in the face again. After that, he suddenly paused, “Who? Whose son are you?”

“P-Prince Ning Bei… He’s my father…” Zhao Xuzhi was bleeding at the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was limp as if he was going to die.

Xie Pinggang stopped and frowned, “Your Highness, you didn’t tell me that this fugitive is a member of your royal family?”

Zhao Xuanjing stood up in surprise and looked at the person on the ground, puzzled, “Xuzhi? Why are you here?”

Zhao Xuzhi was really confused at that moment. He only felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and there was not a single spot on his body that was perfectly fine!

He was still on the ground, and the Crown Prince looked down at him. At that moment, he felt extremely clumsy, angry and embarrassed.

“Did I hit the wrong person?” Xie Pinggang knew that he had caused trouble.

This was the son of Prince Ning Bei. Prince Ning Bei had only given birth to two children, he did not have many descendants. If he knew that he had beaten up Zhao Xuzhi, would he not fight with him to the death?

Xie Pinggang’s brain worked very quickly. When he realized that he had made a mistake, he immediately made a counter-accusation, “If you’re the son of Prince Ning Bei, why would you come here? Could it be that you colluded with the fugitive? Or did you come to deliver a letter to the fugitive?”

Zhao Xuzhi spat a mouthful of blood.

“How would I, a descendent of a dignified prince, do that?!” Zhao Xuzhi struggled to stand up, looking angry and stubborn.

“Your Highness, I will only do as I’m told. It’s better for you to end this,” Xie Pinggang immediately knelt on one knee and cupped his fists.

Zhao Xuanjing nodded slightly.

If it weren’t for this guy’s unnecessary actions last night, he would not have panicked like this today.

However, looking at his pitiful appearance, it could be considered that he had been taught a lesson.

He had the same mother as Xie Qiao. How could he not protect her?

“Don’t be afraid, Minister Xie. It’s inevitable that there will be mistakes in capturing the suspect. Xuzhi has already barged in. I think that the fugitive must have come to attend the appointment. When he saw this scene, he was scared and ran away. Since he has already alerted the enemy, let’s forget about today’s arrangements…” Zhao Xuanjing said.

When Xie Pinggang heard the Crown Prince’s words, he could not help but think that the Crown Prince’s brain was working fast.

Initially, he was going to suffer for beating up the son of Prince Ning Bei.

However, when he said that, he turned the situation around. Now the son of Prince Ning Bei who was the one who delayed him from handling the case.

Handling a case was a big matter. With a fugitive running away, many people might die!

When he thought of that, Xie Pinggang was over the moon. He stood up and glared at Zhao Xuzhi.

Zhao Xuzhi wiped the blood off his face and felt pain all over his body, “Your Highness, I-I didn’t mean to intrude. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”

“Sigh,” The Crown Prince sighed, “Xuzhi, how could you be so reckless? Did you know that we were supposed to catch a criminal today? Now… I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch that criminal in the future.”

At that moment, the Crown Prince’s expression was very gentle and even a little sorrow.

Xie Pinggang had never seen the Crown Prince like this.

In the past, the Crown Prince was always cold and quiet, but he treated his relatives from the Zhao family much gentler!
