Chapter 27: Don't be a concubine (27)
Jiang Zhenzhen was cursing in her heart, but her face was full of emotion: "Your Highness still remembers me, and I am very touched, but we just left like this, leaving a lot of mess behind. Xiaotao and the others are probably going to die because of me.
…”
"Zhen Zhen, you are so kind. If we don't leave, we will be the ones who die!" The prince said matter-of-factly, "As ministers, they should die alone."
Oh, they are indeed brothers. Their selfish faces are exactly the same.
Jiang Zhenzhen sighed and seemed to hesitate for a long time before making up her mind: "Okay, Your Highness, I will go with you, but I still have some things to pack. Your Highness, can you wait for me?"
The prince was not in a hurry, nodded, and followed him into the house: "Okay."
As soon as she entered the house, Jiang Zhenzhen touched the vase. When the prince came in, she hit the prince on the back of the head with her backhand.
The prince passed out before he could react.
Jiang Zhenzhen secretly thought that the vase was of good quality, and then tied up the prince and went out to look around several times, but did not see any guards.
It seems that the prince's management is really good.
Without seeing the guards, Jiang Zhenzhen could only sit next to the prince, crossing her legs and eating melon seeds while waiting for the guards to come back.
But until the prince woke up, the guards didn't come back.
"Zhen Zhen, what are you doing?" The prince glanced at the rope on his body with a look of astonishment on his face, "Hurry up and untie me. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Jiang Zhenzhen smiled: "Your Highness still can't tell, so you can't escape today?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that His Highness cannot leave the East Palace before being executed." Jiang Zhenzhen spat out the melon seed shell, "Didn't you say you want to live and die with me? What's going to happen if you escape?"
Although Jiang Zhenzhen still had a lazy look on her face, she was far less respectful and frail than before. Instead, she looked like a careless hooligan, which surprised the prince.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart: "Don't I want to take you with me? From now on, I and you will never be separated again..."
"Oh, actually it doesn't matter whether I live or not." Jiang Zhenzhen waved her hand, "But Your Highness, you must die."
The prince's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of accusations: "Why are you doing this? I have so much love for you, and I still miss you even when I'm running for my life. Why do you do this to me?"
Jiang Zhenzhen rolled her eyes.
Who are you pretending to be a lover in front of?
What kind of thing is the prince? Doesn’t she have any idea?
"Have you forgotten what Your Highness did to me in the past?"
The prince was stunned for a moment: "But that is all in the past..."
"But my resentment towards His Highness has not diminished at all." Jiang Zhenzhen spit out the melon seed shell again, "So, as long as Your Highness is not dead, I will not feel at ease."
The prince looked sad: "You...have you never loved Gu?"
Jiang Zhenzhen coughed twice: "I loved you."
The prince smiled sadly: "Everything you did for me before was just to deceive me?"
"yes."
Refreshing and neat, not sloppy at all.
The prince seemed to have suffered a huge blow and did not continue to ask. He was just tied up and sat on the ground in a daze, without responding for a long time.
"No! His Royal Highness has escaped!"
I don’t know how long it took, but the guards finally came back.
Jiang Zhenzhen walked out immediately, waved to the guards, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, His Highness is here."
The guards walked into the palace in confusion, and were shocked when they saw the prince tied to the ground with a dull look on his face.
Just, at this point, the prince shouldn't still be here...
Could it be an illusion?
"Why are you still standing there? Take the prince back quickly. He will be beheaded soon. What will happen if he is gone?"
The guards looked at Jiang Zhenzhen strangely, secretly called her a poisonous woman, and then took the prince back.
When the prince was dragged past Jiang Zhenzhen, Jiang Zhenzhen clearly felt a murderous aura.
Oh, it's already here, and the little mentally retarded kid still wants to kill her?
But give it to him!
Jiang Zhenzhen didn't care and happily lay on the chair to bask in the sun again.
But she never expected that the prince would still escape ten days later.
"Empress, His Highness is missing!" Xiao Tao said in shock, holding a plate of pastries.
Jiang Zhenzhen's lips twitched: "Is this serious?"
"Well! There's a quarrel outside!"
It means that after the prince successfully escaped for the first time, neither the emperor nor Xu Huaijin were alert and gave him a second chance to escape?
Why, are today’s guards so lax?
Or is it that the prince has too much money?
So, why does a prince who is under house arrest have so much spare money?
And why did the secret guards, who only obeyed the emperor's orders, not only fail to stop the prince when he escaped, but instead helped him in every possible way?
She didn't believe it if there was nothing fishy in it.
Jiang Zhenzhen broke open a grapefruit and put it into her mouth, looked at the horizon, and said leisurely: "Well, the weather is getting colder. It seems like the weather is going to change."
Xiaotao also nodded: "Yes, it looks like it's going to rain. Chunhua, please put away your clothes soon."
…
In fact, when the prince escaped for the first time, Xu Huaijin knew that this matter was closely related to the emperor.
How could a prince who was imprisoned and about to be beheaded be so capable of escaping without any effort?
It was obvious that someone was doing this in the dark.
Apart from the emperor, Xu Huaijin could not think of anyone else who could do this.
Perhaps even the emperor himself did not expect that the plan would be defeated by Jiang Zhenzhen.
At that time, Xu Huaijin became vigilant: "Father, my son is willing to serve my father and help take care of my brother."
The emperor's expression was a little unnatural, but in front of the courtiers, he couldn't be too partial to the prince, so he had no choice but to agree.
Xu Huaijin sent troops to garrison the East Palace, thinking that the prince would be killed soon, but he was not.
Instead, the prince fled again.
And this time, he succeeded.
As for Xu Huaijin's soldiers and horses, they were drugged, causing death and injuries.
This time, Xu Huaijin finally couldn't help it and rushed to the imperial study room overnight to find the emperor.
"Father, what do you think of the emperor's brother's escape?"
The emperor was leisurely practicing calligraphy: "Xiao Jiu, there are some things that you don't have to do too much. He is your imperial brother after all. You are connected by blood. Is it possible that you can really watch him die?"
Xu Huaijin tightened his hands slightly: "Are they connected by blood? Are my minister and my father also connected by blood?"
"Of course." The emperor smiled lovingly.
Xu Huaijin's eyes were full of coldness: "Why don't you tell me why my father and I have sent secret guards to assassinate my son and take my life?!"
