"Prince Xin Kangbo?" The carriage slowly turned around Xin Kangbo's mansion, and a tall boy of seventeen or eight years old in the carriage asked to himself.
He looked pale and looked lifeless. He was leaning on a couch, covered with a thin blanket. His head fell weakly on the pillow behind him, and his eyes were slightly closed.
"Yes, this is Prince Xin Kangbo." A man who looked like a young boy whispered in a high-pitched voice.
The young man coughed lowly, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and then suddenly sneered: "Trash!"
"Your Majesty..."
"If he begs in front of me...don't worry about him." The young man said softly.
"But, Your Majesty..." The boy was anxious to speak.
"There's nothing wrong with it...Look at what's going on...tsk, tsk." The young man said disapprovingly, then coughed violently, and the servant hurriedly came over and patted his back gently.
After the coughing finally subsided, the boy said anxiously: "My lord, you are not in good health and you have to take good care of yourself. Why do you still go out to visit?"
"Prince Qi came early, I should go and visit him. In this capital... Prince Qi is much more capable than me." The young man said slowly, closed his eyes, and suddenly slapped the pillow hard: "I want to
If you want to kill me, it depends on whether I am lucky or not, but here you are, and you actually send someone to assassinate me..."
At this point, there was another violent cough,
The boy was in a hurry again, but finally calmed down. The young man took the handkerchief handed over by the boy and wiped it weakly: "Don't worry, I won't die so easily."
The carriage went all the way to Zhengyuanhou's Mansion, and finally passed through the gate of Zhengyuanhou's Mansion, and stopped in front of a gate. The servant jumped off the carriage and went forward to negotiate.
After a long time, I finally came back.
"What happened?" the young man in the carriage asked feebly, reaching out and pressing his chest. This time, he was indeed lucky, but he was careless. He thought that nothing would happen when he arrived in the capital, but he almost lost his life outside the city gate.
.
"The prince of Qi is recovering from an injury and is unable to see guests." The chamberlain reported.
"No? Did you tell me your name?" the young man asked.
"As I said, my servant specifically reported it several times. After the guards went in to report, they still said no, saying that Prince Qi's son was seriously injured and had difficulty moving." The servant said.
The young man snorted coldly: "The injury is quite serious? Is it more serious than me?"
The waiter didn't dare to answer this, he just lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"If you don't see me, then see you. I don't believe he hasn't seen me all this time." The young man said coldly. The capital is so big, but there are only two of them entering the capital. If the prince of Qi really doesn't know how to praise, then he is useless.
Yes, he won't pay much attention to him. At most, he will take the lead and let him bear all the troubles alone.
As for himself, the King of Zhongshan was originally inferior to the King of Qi.
A sneer flashed in his eyes. Prince Qi is indeed arrogant and domineering, and he is also incompetent. He came to the capital to seek death!
"Have you prepared the gifts for the princes?" The carriage turned in a different direction, and the young man in the carriage asked softly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have prepared it a long time ago, but what about the gift from Prince Qi?" The young man looked at the generous gift placed in the corner of the carriage and asked cautiously.
Originally, I came here today specifically to give you a generous gift.
"The Prince of Qi is incompetent and arrogant. The etiquette has been reduced by half. When he returns, he will send off a few princes first and then the Prince of Qi." The Prince of Zhongshan sneered disapprovingly. He came today to explore the way. If this Prince of Qi
If you are ambitious, you will definitely meet him.
Injured? Who was injured just after entering the capital? People like them, even if they are injured like him, still have to get up and make plans.
The so-called generous gifts were originally more important than those of several princes, and the purpose was also to secretly form an alliance with the Prince of Qi. Now it seems that the Prince of Qi is just a talented and arrogant person, and it really doesn't mean anything.
The carriage left slowly, merged into the street like an ordinary carriage, and then disappeared among the many carriages. Except for the people of Prince Qi, no one knew that the King of Zhongshan was seriously injured and could not get up.
Prince, I came here once quietly...
Yu Xijiao didn't know that she almost met the Prince of Zhongshan who was also seriously injured outside Xinkang Mansion.
She came out of the Yiyi Room and went to the small courtyard. When Qingyue got off the carriage, she deliberately took out a teapot with hot water on the table.
Sitting down in the main room, Qingyue put the teacup on the table and stood behind Yu Xijiao.
Shiba dragged a boy in from outside.
The boy's hands were tied behind his back and his eyes were blindfolded. He was dragged in by Shiba and stumbled in. As soon as he entered, he fell to the ground and cried: "Spare my life, spare your life!"
Xiwang still doesn't know what happened. He only knows that he was hit hard on the back of the head. When he woke up, he didn't know where he was. Not only were his hands tied, but his eyes were also blindfolded, and everything in front of him was harmful.
After waiting tremblingly until now, someone pulled him out. He seemed to have walked through several rooms. He would have crossed high steps and should be the door of the main house. Someone must be here.
"What's your name?" Yu Xijiao's eyes fell on Xiwang in front of her. She knew this young boy. He almost starved to death when he was young. Later, his younger brother met him by chance and bought him from Renyazi. He also once
He almost broke his leg trying to save his younger brother. Everyone thought he was loyal and repaid his kindness.
"Slave... my name is Xiwang." The boy tilted his head and said hurriedly.
"Who is the master?" Yu Xi said coldly.
"Master... this servant is from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Xiwang stammered.
"How can the servant of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion still walk freely outside? Could it be that he regards the emperor's life as nothing?" Yu Xijiao sneered.
"Hurry up and tell me. If you don't speak clearly, it will definitely cost your life." Qingyue scolded sharply.
Xiwang carefully identified the voices and felt that these two voices were really something he had never heard before. He couldn't help but frowned. He had just guessed that they belonged to the prince.
But how could the prince be a woman?
"Slave... this slave's master is the Crown Prince of Zhengyuan Hou, and he just... returned to Beijing." Contrary to his previous guess, Xiwang did not dare to hide it anymore, for fear of really offending this unknown woman, who was inexplicably angry.
Die here.
"The Crown Prince of the Marquis of Zhengyuan?" Yu Xijiao sneered, "How come I see you with other people in the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion? But I don't see your Crown Prince?"
"Slave..." Xiwang panicked. He had just met the eldest son.
"Come here, pull down this nonsense slave and beat him to death." Yu Xijiao said slowly, her voice sounded calm, but the meaning behind her words was more disturbing than the anger.
Before Xiwang could react, he felt someone coming and pulling him out with great force. It was the person who just pulled him in. As expected, there was someone like a guard in the room. "Girl, just now...
The one I just met is the eldest son, the eldest son is here." He screamed with joy and kicked his feet hard.
"Let him come back." Yu Xijiao's voice was as calm as ever.
Shiba dragged Xiwang back again, threw him heavily in front of Yu Xijiao, and then stepped aside.
"What does Yu Shuxing want you to do?" Yu Xijiao looked at Xiwang kneeling in front of her and asked.
"The eldest son...he...he..." Xiwang's eyes were tied up and turned around in a panic.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I don't leave anyone idle here." Yu Xijiao interrupted him with a hint of indifference in her voice, "Yu Shuxing should have asked you to harm the Crown Prince Zhengyuan Hou, right? You said that.
If it’s clear, say it…if it’s unclear, then go to hell!”
The last word, with a slightly accentuated accent and a soft voice speaking the word "death", actually shocked Xiwang.
The feeling of being dragged out just now made Xiwang clearly understand that these words were more than just words.
"Speak quickly if you want to live." Qingyue scolded loudly.
Shiba's action was more direct. He reached out and pulled out a dagger. The sharp dagger was placed on Xiwang's neck. When he raised his head slightly, a wound appeared on Xiwang's neck, and blood immediately overflowed.
Xiwang screamed in pain, fell backwards, and hit the ground hard. He stretched out his hands to cover the wound on his neck, and cried loudly: "Girl, don't do anything, the slave said, the slave can't do anything."
explain."
"Say it!" Yu Xijiao said softly.
"It's the eldest son. The eldest son asked his slave to take the crown prince's jade pendant to the Ministry of Punishments to report the case, saying that the crown prince... the crown prince died in the hands of bandits." Xiwang said eagerly, even if he dared to hide it.
"The Crown Prince Zhengyuan Hou is really... dead?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything. Someone set fire to the inn that night. I was separated from the Crown Prince at that time. I haven't seen the Crown Prince again since then. I've been looking for it these past few days, but... but no matter what,
I couldn't find it. Today, the eldest son found the servant and asked the servant... The servant went to the Yamen to report the case, saying... that the prince was dead."
Xiwang stammered.
Yu Xijiao looked at the dog slave with cold eyes. At this time, the dog slave was still talking about panic. The words of panic were clever, half true and half false. The second half was true, but the first half was not.
It's false. It's most difficult for people to see through whether it's true or not, and it's easier for people to believe it.
After Xiwang finished speaking, the room became quiet, as if everyone in the room was suddenly gone. Xiwang listened in horror, but did not hear any movement. He stretched out his hand and crawled on the ground, thinking
He moved, but in the end he didn't dare to move again. He only called out timidly: "Gu... girl..."
"Pull him over here." Yu Xijiao said.
Xiwang subconsciously retracted his hand, but his wrist was grabbed by someone, and he took several steps forward before stopping. Xiwang's face turned pale with fright, and he struggled violently and begged: "Girl... all this
It's all arranged by the eldest son and has nothing to do with the slaves. The slaves... the slaves also act according to orders."
"If you move again, I'll cut off your hand." Qingyue's scolding voice was right in Xiwang's ears. As soon as she said this, Xiwang no longer dared to struggle, and only started to cry and tremble.
There was something like a veil covering his hand, and then a hand seemed to touch his pulse.
Xiwang suddenly stopped crying, breathing heavily, trying to keep his hands steady...
