Si Cang's eyebrows were cold and hard, and he remained silent without saying a word.
"These dead soldiers usually don't have names, only numbers." Huangfu Lingfeng put a black-sealed roster on the desk. "This roster records the number of this dead soldier, ranked eleventh, followed by seventh and fourth.
Nine, the dead man No. 13 was given to Situ Xuan by the Queen to protect his safety. Situ Xuan must have done a lot of dirty things by using these dead men in these years."
For ordinary people, it is not easy to find out the identity of a deceased soldier, because leaving a mission means death. After death, all traces will disappear, as if he never existed.
To those in power, a dead soldier is not a human being, but a tool that obeys orders. It has no thought, no dignity, and is only tamed into a puppet with the loyalty to obey orders.
Few people dare to check their identities, and most of the time they can't.
But these people definitely don't include Huangfu Lingfeng.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The guards of the Crown Prince's Mansion came in and reported, "Princess Wuyang wishes to see you."
Si Cang raised his eyes and said indifferently: "Let her come in."
"yes."
Princess Wuyang stepped into the study and saw Huangfu Lingfeng and Fu Nanchuan there. She raised her eyebrows casually: "Did Young Master Huangfu find out the truth?"
Huangfu Lingfeng smiled and said, "I already have a look."
Princess Wuyang hummed: "I have discovered something interesting and think I should tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
Several people in the study looked at her. Princess Wuyang did not feel uncomfortable at all and smiled lightly: "Situ Wan went to the racecourse to race horses today. She had protective pads tied on her arms, waist and legs to ensure that she
Even if you accidentally fall off your horse, your bones will not be broken."
Moreover, the place where she fell was a piece of grass, which was less lethal than other places, so it looked like the fall was heavy, but that was all it looked like.
Huangfu Lingfeng's face showed interest: "Does this mean that she expected to fall off the horse?"
"Maybe it was calculated in advance, or maybe it was just a precaution." Princess Wuyang shrugged, "In short, she was not seriously injured, but the moment she fell off the horse, she rushed in front of us. When we saw her fall, we and the Crown Princess immediately
It stopped, and then the assassin came. If it were to be attributed to coincidence, it seemed too coincidental."
Si Cang narrowed his eyes and tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers: "Bring Yun Baozhu here."
Princess Wuyang turned around and walked out, asking the guards to go to the guest house, "The prince wants to see Princess Baozhu."
The guards took the order and left.
Princess Wuyang went straight back to Qifeng Palace and drank tea with Yun Zishu and chatted: "This time Uncle Situ's residence will be broken even if he doesn't die."
"It's your own fault." Huangfu Chuchu leaned on the couch as if he was boneless, "When this thing is over, let's do something interesting to change our mood."
"do what?"
Huangfu Chuchu sat up and looked at Yun Zishu seriously: "The Crown Princess's martial arts were really taught by the Crown Prince himself?"
Yun Zishu nodded.
Sicang was born in the Shadow Pavilion, and all he taught her was the technique of killing with one move, not so many fancy tricks, so if Yun Zishu didn't make a move, once she did, she would almost kill someone.
However, there are not many opportunities that require Yun Zishu to take action personally.
She has Leng Yue and Leng Shuang beside her. These two have been trained for a long time. Compared with Yun Zishu, they can display their martial arts more calmly, and their priorities are easier to control.
"My skills are not necessarily better than those of the dead soldiers." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "I just had an unexpected advantage."
"That's pretty awesome." Huangfu Chuchu held his chin, "It is said that Dongyou advocates martial arts, and it is common for women to practice martial arts, but I have never heard of anyone whose martial arts is as powerful as the Crown Princess."
"Girls are all practicing martial arts. Who has ever gone to the battlefield with real swords and guns?" Princess Wuyang didn't think it was a big deal. "Women mostly practice martial arts for self-protection and physical fitness, and they don't want to become a peerless master.
.”
"Your Highness the Crown Princess!" The stewardess hurried in and bowed to report, "Princess Rong, Princess Cheng and Princess Xuanjun have all come to the Prince's Mansion and said they want to see the Crown Princess immediately."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes: "Right away?"
"She...that's what they said..."
"Then tell them that the Crown Princess was too frightened by the assassination today. She is still lying in bed unable to get up and cannot see the guests." Yun Zishu said coldly, "By the way, His Royal Highness is extremely angry.
, this matter is not so easy to resolve."
"yes."
Yun Zishu held the teacup in her hand and turned her head to look out the window casually, "If I don't show off my power, everyone will treat me as a sick cat."
Princess Wuyang didn't speak and took a sip of tea quietly.
Huangfu Chuchu lowered his eyes and thought deeply. This Crown Princess could never be a sick cat. However, whether it was Yun Baozhu, the princess of Dayong's dowry, or Situ Wan, the young lady of the Situ family who was used to being aloof, or was used to being majestic in the past.
The bossy princesses have yet to truly understand the Crown Princess.
Before and after the prince came back, there was a big gap in the treatment they received. This gap made them unable to maintain balance, so that they repeatedly wanted to get back the feeling of being supported before, and deceived themselves and others.
Some key issues were ignored.
For example, will the prince and princess condone their repeated provocations?
In the past, they were able to show off their power and show off their strength. Does this mean that they can show off their power and show off their power all their lives?
There will always be only one master in Dongyou Jiangshan.
A royal palace or family with countless honors and favors can be replaced at any time. The change of power is accompanied by bloody killings. The king's trust cannot be tolerated over and over again.
The patience of those in power is also limited.
Those who do not understand these principles and those who cannot see the situation clearly will eventually pay the price.
The steward passed the words to the front yard, and Princess Rong said sternly: "The assassination of the Crown Princess has nothing to do with Xuan'er, why should Xuan'er be trapped in the Prince's Mansion and not allowed to go back? Xuan'er went to the racecourse with the Crown Princess.
——”
"What Princess Rong said is wrong," the steward corrected her without hesitation, "The only people invited to the racecourse by the Crown Princess were Miss Huangfu and Princess Wuyang. The other princesses were all invited by Miss Situ.
It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess."
"Then what does the Crown Princess mean now?"
The steward said: "The Crown Princess is still in shock. His Highness the Crown Prince wants to wait until the truth of the matter is found out. If the princesses are indeed innocent, the Prince's Mansion will naturally not keep the princesses here. Please
Princess, please be patient."
Princess Rong said coldly: "When can the truth be found out?"
"Soon. Please believe in the efficiency of the Prince's Palace." The steward replied, "If the princesses are really angry, they can also go into the palace to see the emperor or the queen."
