Chapter 69: The Killer Is About to Strike
It is impossible for the emperor to let Xia Chuyan enter the palace as a concubine like this, but how to solve this rumor? The emperor is also embarrassed!
"Is there any other way than to marry you? No matter who marries Xia Chuyan, everyone will think that the emperor wants him to be the future prince, and when the time comes, ......"
The queen wanted to speak and stopped, but her words were obvious, except for the emperor, only the crown prince was qualified to marry a woman who was a mother in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info coincides with it, the crown princess has been dead for almost a year, and the prince should have remarried a long time ago!
"There is no hostess in the East Palace now, so it is better to find a princess for the crown prince."
The queen was overjoyed, but she didn't show it, but frowned and said, "Is it appropriate to let the prince marry Xia Chuyan?" ”
"What's out of place? The crown prince is the rightful successor, isn't he qualified yet? ”
"The concubine thinks that the second prince has performed very well recently, whether it is his reputation or brain, it is enough to prove that he has more potential to be an emperor."
What the queen said seemed to be true, but everyone knew that the position of the crown prince could not be changed easily. There is another thing that everyone knows, that is, the crown prince was appointed by the emperor! If the crown prince is not qualified, it indirectly shows that the emperor has a bad vision and has chosen the wrong successor. And the prince has been in vain for so many years, although he has no merit, he does not like to kill villains, and he has a harmonious relationship with his younger brothers and never disputes, which is a very valuable quality.
"How can the queen be so partial? You have to put a bowl of water on a flat scale, and you must not be biased towards anyone. You must always remember that you are not a concubine but the mother of a country, and you must have the demeanor of a mother. ”
The queen immediately knelt down, "The emperor's lesson is that the concubines must be remembered." ”
After a while, the queen returned to her palace. Just before meeting the emperor, the queen thought that the prince just had a good impression of Xia Chuyan, so she let herself be a lobbyist. But now, the queen doesn't think so, because since she was a child, the most contact with the prince is not the emperor and ministers, but her own mother. So she knew that the prince's mind was by no means as dull as it seemed on the outside. On the contrary, the queen felt that she was not the crown prince's opponent, and this time she might be playing for the tiger.
"I can't let the prince be too wishful, I must let Zhen'er be the future prince."
The queen clasped her hands tightly, but she was thinking in her heart, although the emperor nodded, but who can say what happened after that? In case, Xia Chuyan ended up being the tenth princess, then he couldn't blame himself, after all, he had already helped the prince say good things in front of the emperor, didn't he?
"Looks like someone is talking about me!" The Ten Princes rubbed their noses and tried to endure the discomfort of their noses.
Lin Ruochen turned his head to look at the Ten Princes, and found that the latter was really yawning, and couldn't help laughing.
"The tenth prince will go back to sleep in the sedan chair, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest peacefully like this in two days!"
"Why? If I remember correctly, there seems to be an inn not far ahead. ”
Lin Ruochen shook his head: "I'm afraid that our movement in Witch City a few days ago has already reached the palace, even if the second prince doesn't send someone to kill us, the prince will kill us." Calculating the time, the killer should be able to come in these two days. ”
The Ten Princes really didn't want to be enemies with the crown prince, he had seen too many stories of princes killing each other for the throne, and he hoped that he and the crown prince would not have that day. However, if the crown prince really wants to put him to death, he will not sit stupidly and wait for death.
The Ten Princes speculated, and maybe there were other possibilities, "What if they are all watching each other?" Or ......"
"No," Lin Ruochen said with certainty: "The second prince doesn't know the true strength of the crown prince, so he will definitely make a move." As for the crown prince, he should indeed preserve his strength, but he also knew that the six princes wanted to rebel now, so he couldn't wait quietly for the six princes to ascend the throne. He wants to control everything in his own hands before the six princes ascend the throne, and remove all obstacles that may prevent him. ”
Lin Ruochen looked at the Ten Princes and said, "Don't have any hope for the crown prince anymore, he will definitely wait for the second prince to lose both of us before reaping the benefits of the fisherman." ”
The Ten Princes didn't have the slightest sleepiness, and although Lin Ruochen's words didn't suit his heart, they were true. On the one hand, the Ten Princes thanked Lin Ruochen for being able to tell the truth to him, but on the other hand, he hoped that he would lie and deceive himself.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the people of the second prince rushed over that afternoon......
Sima Tan looked at the hundreds of corpses next to the sedan chair and threw himself to the ground at the five bodies that Lin Ruochen admired. Because Lin Ruochen modified the sedan chair in advance, so that the arrows hidden inside could shoot hundreds of arrows in the upper, middle and lower directions at the same time.
"You're so powerful, how could you think of such a vicious way to deal with them?"
Lin Ruochen sighed and replied to Sima Tan in a mournful tone, "Are you sure that these words are praising me rather than hurting me." ”
Sima Tan shook his head again and again, and almost swore to the sky.
"I'm really praising you, you can come up with the idea of hiding arrows in a sedan chair, even if you don't know kung fu, as long as you pull the switch inside, you can shoot all the people outside."
Sima Nan didn't speak, and Lin Ruochen surprised him again this time. I really don't know what he was thinking about all day long, and when he knew that his life was short, he spared no effort to protect the Ten Princes. However, he obviously doesn't look like a power-hungry person! What's more, when the tenth prince gets the throne, even if he is named prime minister, he probably won't have a few days to enjoy!
Lin Ruochen knew that Sima Nan was looking at him again, but he pretended not to see it, and then talked to Sima Tan.
"You're right, it's a vicious method. The people outside would never have thought that there were arrows hidden in the sedan chair, so they could only face death if they were defenseless, and they didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. ”
Sima Tan was silent, he remembered that he had also hijacked someone else's sedan chair, and now he regretted it when he thought about it.
Sima Nan put away the sword in his hand and said to a few people: "Let's pack up and leave quickly, we can't stay here for a long time." ”
Lin Ruochen nodded and sat down in the sedan chair again. And the Ten Princes, since they learned to ride horses, said that they didn't want to sit in a palanquin with a narrow line of sight. Fortunately, he was not dressed up enough to be prominent, and if you didn't look carefully, it was really difficult to find the Ten Princes in the crowd. Even he didn't expect that his habit would help him avoid disaster after disaster more than once on the road after that.
Several men and their men hurried non-stop, and finally entered the city before dark. The name of this city is the city of comfort, and it is the opposite of the city of witches, it is a place of comfort that everyone wants to enter.
What is comfort, food and clothing are not worried? No! You must know that the eternal truth of our ancestors is that we are susceptible to food and satiety****
