Chapter 106 Cutting out the roots
Tangning looked at everyone with confusion.
"Beginning what? A funeral for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Are you asking me to come here to watch the ceremony?"
As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the crowd with a sad look on her face.
"Yes, this is where you will be buried."
The queen looked at her gloomily.
Tang Ning wasn't afraid either. She looked at the Crown Prince tearfully, not looking at the Queen.
"Your Highness, why did you leave so early? Didn't you say you would treat me well? I was still waiting for you in the palace, why did you leave first, Your Highness?"
Tangning thought about all the sad things in her life, crying as she walked, and soon she reached the prince's body.
He cried and beat the body with great strength.
No one had expected this unexpected turn of events. The Queen was so frightened that she didn't care about the tears she was crying because of the infection. She quickly instructed the secret guards:
"You are all dead, pull her away from me!"
Tang Ning held the prince's arm tightly and refused to let go. The servants were afraid of damaging the prince's body and did not dare to use force. For a while, they were unable to separate.
"You asked for this!"
The queen became furious and raised the dagger in her hand to stab Tang Ning's hand.
"Ah! Queen, spare me!"
Tang Ning was so scared that she hugged her head. The people who were holding her fell down suddenly and fell into a ball. Tang Ning huddled on the ground, and the queen couldn't stop her.
It suddenly stabbed the prince's arm, and dark red blood immediately flowed out of his arm.
"Who told you to move aside, my son, the prince? Does it hurt?"
The queen held the cut part of the prince's arm in her hand with a look of heartache. The dark red blood had a slight stench.
The queen anxiously took a handkerchief to wipe it, but it was all over the place and no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't get clean. Suddenly, she stopped wiping.
She laughed and cried alternately, looking particularly creepy. She turned around and stared at Tangning grimly:
"Tang Shengnan, I want to use your life to repay my son's life. Are you willing?"
"what!"
Tang Ning was completely shocked. Why would you ask that?
She was so angry, I thought she would say, "Catch her, kill her for me."
Didn't you expect it to be so polite?
Or you could be a little tougher and just grab her, and then say, "Hahahaha! Tang Shengnan, today I will exchange your life for my son's life." That's the right way.
Facing such a polite queen, Tangning politely shook her head and said honestly:
"I do not want to!"
"Why? Don't you like the Crown Prince? When the Crown Prince comes back to life, I'll have him posthumously confer the title of Crown Princess on you and bury you with the highest honors. Even after the Crown Prince passes away, you'll still be buried with him."
The Queen became more and more excited as she spoke, making free promises one after another in an attempt to win Tang Ning's heart.
Tang Ning didn't know how to respond to this. If her life wasn't at stake, she might not have been able to resist such an inducement.
Tang Ning was unmoved.
The queen retracted her kind side and returned to her former majestic appearance:
"Could it be that you have been deceiving us all along? You don't like the prince at all. Everything you said was a lie. Boss Tang, do you know what will happen if you deceive me?"
"I know, but I don't believe you. The prince is already dead, how can he be brought back to life?"
Tangning took the opportunity to wipe her tears and took out the medicine powder:
"If I could really save the prince, I would do it even if it cost me my life. But the prince can't come back, and those who are still alive must look forward."
"Yes, you can save the prince if you are willing."
The queen turned around anxiously and looked at Taoist Tianxu.
"Listen, she agreed. Let's do it quickly."
Taoist Tianxu sighed, approached Tangning, and asked her solemnly:
"Good boy, are you really willing to sacrifice your life for the prince?"
Tangning didn't answer. Instead, she looked past them and towards the Queen.
"Your Majesty, I can agree to this, but I have a request, okay?"
"Hurry up and tell me! Just tell me what you want."
Tangning looked at everyone around her and spoke awkwardly:
"I have been an orphan since I was young, and have been bullied since I was little. Only the prince truly cares about me and brought me to the palace to broaden my horizons. Shengnan is willing to die for his confidant.
It’s just that four days ago I wanted to feel the warmth of the world, I wanted all of you to hold my hands, surround me, and make me no longer feel alone.”
"That's it?"
The queen was surprised and ordered her subordinates to hurry up. Her subordinates looked at each other, and finally held hands shyly.
Two of them even blushed. No, why are you blushing? If someone doesn't know, they would think you had sex.
Oh my god, it’s really a bit weird.
"Is that okay now?"
The Queen looked at Tang Ning impatiently. Where did this merchant get these weird ideas from? It was really annoying.
"Your Majesty the Queen and Taoist Tianxu are also invited to join us."
Tang Ning pressed the issue further, and Taoist Tianxu carefully reviewed the techniques he had learned, confirming that none of them required hand-in-hand guidance.
He grabbed the still reluctant queen and pulled everyone into a big circle. He also wanted to see the queen's helpless look, which was a good idea.
Tangning couldn't help but let tears well up in the corners of her red eyes. It was truly a spectacular sight.
How many people have to be killed? Her big pit may not be enough.
"And the secret guards hiding in the dark."
The Queen was dissatisfied and tried to shake off Taoist Tianxu's hand, but she failed to do so.
"What are you going to do? There's no danger here anymore. Why would I need secret guards? Everything is here."
"Thank you, Madam and Taoist Priest, for fulfilling my little dream."
As she spoke, she walked towards Shuqing, who had a look of disdain on her face.
Before she could open her mouth to speak, Tang Ning grabbed her hair and dragged the long line of people into the space.
"Hiss, Boss Tang, what are you doing? Ah~~~"
Shuqing, who saw the surrounding environment clearly, was so scared that she screamed. The sound seemed to be absorbed by the surrounding environment, without any echo, which seemed particularly strange.
"Ah! Where is this place?"
"Help!"
"What is this place?"
"Protect the queen, please come with us quickly."
Even though the secret guards were very scared, they still remembered their mission clearly.
Surround the queen and protect her behind you.
"Run!"
"Ghost!"
The timid palace maids were so frightened that they screamed.
This group of people were terrified and spoke in panic. Some of them didn't even dare to let go of the hands they were holding, for fear that if they let go of the hands they were holding, they would be the only one left in the next second.
The scene was extremely chaotic, and the cattle, sheep, and horses, which could penetrate people, were frightened half to death.
The chicks came over curiously to watch. What happened?
"Is this hell? Are we dead?"
Not knowing whose words had been so bold, Tang Ning trapped them in the space and watched them panic and anxiously. She was not too happy.
