"Why are there four corpses hanging on the plaque in the third prince's bedroom?!"
"Who did the third prince provoke?"
"To be able to enter the palace freely, the person behind it must be powerful. The third prince must have been warned!"
Just as everyone was talking about it, Chu Yunheng happened to come back from outside. He heard the fragments of words and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
When he saw four bloody corpses of men in black hanging on the plaque of his 'Junheng Hall', a flash of shock flashed through his eyes. After the shock, it was replaced by a sinister look.
These killers...
This was to assassinate the wasteful Yunzheng!
They actually missed, could it be that old man Yun Jingtian found out?!
Last night, he was staying at the Heng Mansion outside the palace for some business, and he failed to discover the corpses of the killers in time, so a group of outsiders saw them.
His sharp gaze swept across the crowd of people outside his dormitory, and there was a faint hint of murderous intent.
He finally gave up on killing them because there were not only his father's concubines, but also several young royal brothers and sisters, and even Gong Yechang, the only second-grade alchemist in the palace!
His face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Why don't you get the unlucky body down for me, the prince!"
In an instant, the guards behind him stepped forward and took down the four cold and stiff corpses.
However, there is still a pool of blood on the plaque, which looks particularly gloomy.
"Everyone, is it time to go back?" He glanced at the people who were talking secretly and asked.
"Let's go, let's go."
Everyone was given an expulsion order indirectly by him and walked out one after another.
Everyone thought that if Lord Gongye hadn't been there, they might not have been able to come in, let alone see such a provocative and insulting scene.
Those who don't deal with Chu Yunheng wish that he was killed by the person behind the scenes last night! Then there is one less genius in the royal family, and then those of them who have been suppressed by Chu Yunheng for a long time will have a chance to come forward.
!
such a pity……
Chu Yunheng is not dead!
The second-grade alchemist Gong Yechang is a man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and a pair of squinting eyes. He doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Gong Yechang walked up to Chu Yunheng and said with a frown: "It seems that the third prince has been in some trouble recently."
Chu Yunheng treated Gong Yechang with respect and politeness, and was somewhat flattering to him. After all, Gong Yechang's status in the Great Chu Kingdom was also transcendent, and he was only subordinate to the emperor.
Chu Yunheng smiled and said: "These troubles are not worth mentioning. I wonder if Lord Gongye has already mastered the level-breaking elixir?"
"Well, the level-breaking pill has been refined. I just wanted to give you the level-breaking pill today. I never expected this kind of thing..."
When Chu Yunheng heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
"Here, this time I will make an exception to make elixirs for you. I hope you can be more knowledgeable and don't let others know." Gong Yechang's tone contained a strong warning. He had an extra bottle in his hand and handed it to him.
"Of course not. Yunheng thanked Lord Gongye." Chu Yunheng said with an apologetic smile.
After Chu Yunheng accepted the elixir, he took out a storage ring from his arms and handed it to Gong Yechang.
Gong Yechang lowered his head and looked, using his spiritual sense to explore in, he found that the spiritual stones and dozens of spiritual herbs inside were very popular with him.
Gong Yechang showed a satisfied smile.
After Gong Yechang left, the door was closed!
Chu Yunheng's expression suddenly darkened, and his cold and sinister gaze swept across the guards, eunuchs and maids in his palace.
"If you don't do your job well enough and let so many people come in to watch the fun, all of them will be punished with whipping!"
As soon as these words came out, all the guards, eunuchs and maids knelt down with a "swish, swish" sound!
"Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong..."
There were a lot of begging for mercy, but Chu Yunheng just ignored them in disgust.
Suddenly, a drake voice sounded outside the palace door: "Your Majesty has a decree to summon the third prince to see you!"
Chu Yunheng frowned, this was Eunuch Chen's voice!
Could it be that what happened here has been spread to the father?
In the great Chu Kingdom, he was afraid of very few things, the only thing he was afraid of was his father, Emperor Chu Chengyu.
Some time ago, he wanted to break off the engagement with that useless Yunzheng, which had already made his father extremely unhappy. Think about it, his father had never summoned him again since he broke off the engagement...
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Tell me, what happened to these four killer corpses?" Chu Chengyu looked sharply at Chu Yunheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.
Chu Yunheng lowered his head, "Father, my son... I don't know why they appeared in my bedroom."
'Snapped--'
Suddenly, a memorial made of bamboo was slammed on Chu Yunheng's forehead!
"You still dare to lie to me?"
Chu Chengyu cursed angrily, with a hint of hatred in his tone.
Chu Yunheng's forehead was bleeding. He raised his head and said with a pale face: "Father, it's my fault. My son wanted to hire a killer to kill the enemy, but he unexpectedly killed him..."
"Enemies, where did you attract enemies?" Upon hearing this, Chu Chengyu's deep eyes flashed with fear. The person who can enter and leave the palace at will must be at least the Spirit Emperor and above! Heng'er actually provoked such a powerful enemy.
?
Chu Yunheng did not dare to tell the truth.
How could he say that he bribed the killer just to kill that loser!
Chu Yunheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he made up a lie at random: "He is a little-known wealthy businessman from the Great Chu Kingdom. He must have known that his son wanted to kill him, so he hired guards and thugs before he did!"
Hearing the word 'rich businessman', Chu Chengyu's tense heart relaxed a little.
Just don’t be a strong man from another country!
Chu Chengyu asked him several more detailed questions about wealthy businessmen, and Chu Yunheng could barely answer them.
What Chu Chengyu didn't know was that his son's back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Before Chu Yunheng left, Emperor Chu Chengyu asked him a question:
"Will you regret breaking off the engagement with Yunzheng in the future?"
"My son, I will not regret it even if I die!" Chu Yunheng answered very decisively.
Chu Chengyu showed a hint of helplessness and regret, and waved him to leave the Yangxin Hall.
Chu Chengyu sighed in his heart, but in the end he couldn't get his son to be with Jun Lan and Jun Yue's daughter.
Now, I guess that girl Zheng'er has fallen in love with Heng'er...
Three days later.
——Prince Yun’s Mansion
Prince Yun and Yunzheng were having lunch in the hall.
Yunzheng sat with her arms folded, looking calmly at the old man opposite who was pretending to smile playfully.
Prince Yun greeted with a smile: "Come on, come on, Zheng'er, look how delicious these sweet and sour pork ribs are, pick up your chopsticks and try it."
"I feel a little stuck and can't eat."
Yunzheng raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at Old Prince Yun and the meat in his hand.
Seeing this, Old Prince Yun put down his chopsticks and showed an apologetic look, "Zheng'er, grandpa didn't hide it from you on purpose..."
