Chapter 44: The former prince is killed
The frontier land is a land of great suffering. The common people can't stand it, let alone the pampered royal relatives and nobles. The former prince has been sent to the frontier for a short time, and he has suffered a lot here. The whole person is no longer human, if he knew that he would become the ghost he is now, he would not move a finger if he was afraid of being killed! It's a pity that there are so many regret pills in this world, and now I can only spend the rest of my life in this frontier.
The former prince closed the door of the room, and the house was leaking in this broken place, and if the door was not closed tightly, he was afraid that he would get up tomorrow morning and catch the cold. But the moment the former prince closed the door, he felt a chill in his neck. That cold, extremely hard thing, what else could there be but a knife. If it weren't for the knife against his neck, I am afraid that he would have collapsed directly to the ground.
"You, you...... Who are you! Want...... What do you want to do?! "I can't speak straight, and I'm so scared that I'm already urinating.
Qi Feng looked at the former prince coldly and sneered: "Don't you know what I'm going to do?" If you want to blame it, you can't control your lower body! After speaking, as soon as he moved his hand, the former prince rolled his eyes before he could call for help and was killed......
At this time, Emperor Chen, who was far away in Andu City, was immersed in singing and dancing, and his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. With a wave of his hand, he said to the dancing singers below, "Don't dance, go down." ”
As soon as the singers left, the hall suddenly fell silent. It was originally lively and lively, but now it feels deserted again when people leave. Emperor Chen couldn't say that he was a little uneasy in his heart, so he said to Gonggong Li, who was waiting on the side: "You said how Yongyan is in the frontier, for so long, I haven't dared to ask more, for fear of some bad news." Yongyan's child also blamed his mother for leaving early, and I didn't teach him much, so he made those mistakes. I really feel a little guilty in my heart......"
That Gonggong Li is an old man in the palace, and he has been serving by Emperor Chen's side since he was still the crown prince, but it is not a good thing. So when he heard Emperor Chen say this, he thought for a moment and replied: "If the emperor really misses the prince, he might as well find an excuse to bring the prince back." ”
When Emperor Chen heard this, he shook his head again and again: "Then how can I do it, I made an order at the beginning, and Yongyan can't go back to Andu City for half a step." It's only been a long time, and if I return to that place, what prestige will I have in front of the minister. ”
That Gonggong Li smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's not simple, don't you just change the identity of the prince and come back." You are the emperor, and you can't do whatever you want. ”
These words greatly satisfied Emperor Chen's vanity, and secondly, he really missed Chen Yongyan in his heart, thought about it, and finally said: "You go to find some trustworthy people, bring the prince back, and make sure that the mouths of the people in the frontier are guarded tightly." If this is done, I will be rewarded! ”
"Minions, let's do it." That Gonggong Li was very happy when he got Emperor Chen's words, and the most important thing was that he still had selfish intentions in his heart when he said this. In the past, when Chen Yongyan was still the prince, because of the convenience of his position, he received a lot of benefits from Chen Yongyan. Now that the prince is gone, Chen Yongyan is not there, and he has no benefit. If Chen Yongyan is brought back, with Emperor Chen's favor for Chen Yongyan, even if the crown prince cannot be taken back, at least he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. And he helped Chen Yongyan get out of that place of suffering, and the benefits were naturally indispensable......
It's a pity that the people sent out by Gonggong Li haven't arrived at the frontier yet, and the people on the border side have come with the news, saying that the prince is dead. Forget it, the death is simply horrific. The whole person was divided into several pieces, and if it weren't for the head being intact, I'm afraid no one would be able to recognize it. The people who came to deliver the message from Xinjiang over there were also conscientious and described Chen Yongyan's death in great detail. Emperor Chen was still looking forward to Gonggong Li's people bringing Chen Yongyan back and getting together father and son. But who would have thought that what was waiting for was not the good news that Chen Yongyan came back, but the news that the people were gone!
When Emperor Chen heard the news at that time, a good person directly took a few steps back and sat on the chair, and then fainted directly. All of a sudden, the entire palace was in chaos. At that time, it was three days after Wen Chengcai got married, and Wen Chengcai, who received the news, was preparing to go to Anwangfu with Chu Xin.
"How did you die? Did you say who killed it? ”
Chu Xin shook his head: "It is said that Emperor Chen specially ordered this matter not to be passed on." I'm also a friend of the palace, so I accidentally found out. ”
"Could it be the prime minister?" Wen Cheng thought about it, the biggest trouble recently belongs to the prime minister. In the past, although the former prince spoiled a lot of girls, but now those people are basically still there, and many of them have also been taken as concubines by the former prince, so it stands to reason that there will not be such a deep hatred. Except for the prime minister, I really can't think of anyone.
But Chu Xin shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It shouldn't be, just like you, when something happens to the former prince, the first thing everyone thinks of is the prime minister." People who can achieve the position of prime minister are not too stupid, even if the pain of losing their daughter has lost their minds, so why didn't they kill the former prince a while ago, but until now? The person who killed the former prince must have someone else. ”
"It's true that you say that, but I really can't figure out who it is......" Wen Cheng has never liked to think about these twists and turns, and he has a headache when he thinks about them. At this time, I saw Chu Xin stretch out his hand and gently rub it on the temples on both sides of Wen Cheng, and then heard him say: "Don't think about this, it's none of our business." ”
"But you said that the emperor is angry and sick now, and Chen Guo will ...... in the future."
"Now there are King Yu and King Heng, both of them are rare talents, and they are not in the way." Chu Xin's words were gentle and gentle, which made Wen Cheng settle down a lot.
Chu Xin saw that Wen Cheng was slowly relaxed, the corners of his mouth hooked, and continued: "You haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so let's have a good rest when I see my father-in-law and them after they come back today." ”
Wen Cheng took Chu Xin's hand when he heard this, looked at Chu Xin and said, "I'm not tired at all, if you want to say tired, you are tired, and you are the one who should have a good rest." ”
"Heh......" Chu Xin chuckled when he heard this, raised his hand and stroked Wen Cheng's cheek lightly and said, "Madam now knows how to feel sorry for her husband." The tone was extremely gentle, and such an affectionate title made Wen Cheng suddenly feel a little embarrassed.
"You and I are married, I don't feel sorry for you...... who you feel sorry for" Wen Cheng muttered, and glanced at Chu Xin, who was full of smiles, but unexpectedly, the smile on Chu Xin's face was even more obvious. Wen Cheng found that since he got married, the smile on Chu Xin's face has hardly stopped, it is really magical......
