Chapter 177: The Final Winner

"Have you started?"

"Your Highness might as well wait."

The crown prince looked at the direction of the imperial city here, but he was a little puzzled.

"How's the Yang Demon?"

"It seems that the whole city is looking for the murderer."

The corpse of the Yin Demon was just found at the mouth of the alley, and it should be quite painful to think that the Yang Demon should be quite painful now.

The combined force of the two demons of yin and yang is definitely quite strong, but even without the yin demon, the yang demon is still very strong as a first-grade martial artist.

Counting it, it is not bad for the three princes to have one or two first-grade martial artists as subordinates, but it is not like the emperor who used the Zhao'an order on the rivers and lakes. Now there are many masters in the palace who have disappeared in the rivers and lakes.

"Your Highness, the people of the third prince have moved......"

"Wait a little longer."

The crown prince, who originally seemed to be in a hurry, heard that the third prince was moving at this time, but instead said to wait.

"This ...... Your Highness, why is that? ”

"Nothing. It's just because the Yin Demon is dead. Then now it's very simple, someone is doing something. ”

"What about the three princes?"

"If I'm not mistaken? Fang Halberd should be able to do something. "The prince naturally has quite complicated emotions for Fang Ji.

On the one hand, he likes the feeling of "hunting". And a smart person like Fang Ji is his prey.

What he needed was absolute submission, but it was clear that Fang Halberd was not easy to handle. Last time, he even vomited blood.

"The people of the Three Princes should have entered the Imperial City now, and they will besiege Your Majesty at the first gate......"

The prince looked at the person who was talking at this time, it was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, a little fat. This man was one of his staff. Although it usually looks inconspicuous, it is called Zhang Qi. But in fact, there is a very unique side to this Zhang Qi to look at things.

At least this game of chess can be seen clearly.

"Zhang Qi, how long have you been following me?"

"Go back to Your Highness, come out of the palace with Your Highness, and have the Prince's Mansion. Zhang Qi came to the door shamelessly and asked to see him......" Zhang Qi said at this time.

"That's been a long time." The prince nodded at this time. "Do you think I should go to the rescue?"

"Your Highness should naturally go."

"But if the Third Prince fails, how can I explain it?"

"This ......"

Zhang Qi touched his beard at this time, and he was indeed a little confused, but then he also understood: "Your Highness has a countermeasure?" ”

"Nope." The prince replied very simply. "But some people don't want the emperor to die."

The prince smiled at this time.

"Prince, the Yang Demon asks to see you."

"Let him in." The prince raised his hand at this time. Immediately I saw the yang demon come in, and his eyes looked a little red.

"Your Highness! Please avenge my wife's death! ”

This yang demon is a woman, but she calls the yin demon a lady. But the crown prince is also commonplace. At this time, he came to the Yang Demon.

"There's no reason why you shouldn't know who the Yin Demon is talking to."

At this time, when the Yang Demon heard this, his eyes flashed.

"The crown princess?"

"This ......" Yang Demon still didn't dare to respond at this time.

The prince naturally laughed: "Are you afraid of her? ”

"Yang Demon is not afraid of himself, after all, even his wife was slapped to death with a palm, and Yang Demon is worried about the prince's ......"

"Oh? Worried about me? ”

At this time, the prince returned to his place and sat down.

"Do you know what I'm most afraid of right now?"

"The subordinates don't know?" The Yang Demon shook his head.

"Treated like a pawn."

"Chess pieces?!"

The prince also shook his head at this time: "That's it, I'll go see her." What do you have to do? Especially you, Yang Demon, stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere. ”

"But......" Yang Demon was about to say something, but seeing the appearance of the prince, he could only say: "Obey." ”

"Prince, won't it be a little dangerous if you go? Do you want me to follow? The Yang Demon proposed again at this time.

"Do you want someone to follow your wife?" The prince laughed, and then brushed his sleeves and came to the princess's bedroom.

The prince even pushed the door in directly, and those maids naturally didn't dare to stop them. After all, although the crown princess manages the internal affairs of the palace, the prince is the master of the palace...... And even the future master of Great Wei......

The crown princess was naturally coaxing the child, and when she heard the prince come in, she just stopped for a while, and then continued.

"Your Highness hasn't rested at this hour."

"Can't sleep." The prince sat down directly at this time and poured a glass of wine.

"Your Highness has not recovered from a serious illness, so it is not appropriate to drink." But the crown princess only said something in her mouth, but she never got up to persuade her to drink.

"It's okay, I'm happy today." The prince laughed.

"Happy?" The crown princess looked at the crown prince at this time, a little puzzled.

"Concubine Ai won't drink with me?"

"Even so, the concubine is not welcome." The crown princess finally came to the front at this time and took the cup handed by the prince.

"You're not afraid that I'll poison you?"

The crown princess first smiled and drank the wine glass, and then picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for the prince and herself.

"Your Highness has forgotten who the concubine master is?"

"Look. I'm really confused. The prince also shook his head with a smile at this time: "Your master is the king of medicine, how can you not understand medical skills." ”

"In fact, concubines are more poisonous than doctors. Your Highness has to be careful. ”

The crown prince and the crown princess looked at each other at this time, but the two looked at each other and smiled.

"What's the matter with Your Highness?"

"Naturally, there is something." At this time, the prince picked up the wine glass again and said with a smile: "The person you saw tonight killed the Yin Demon. ”

The crown prince said directly, but the princess did not flash any panic on her face, but replied lightly: "Really?" ”

"You've got a lot to do tonight. Including sending Yan Xin away and meeting with someone, that person was afraid that the matter would be revealed and even killed the Yin Demon. But in fact, this will actually push the suspicion on you. After all, the Yin Demon will definitely tell the Yang Demon about something. What the Yin Demon did, the Yang Demon also knew. ”

"Your Highness is going to blame the concubine?" The crown princess said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I really want to blame you, I won't talk to you about this. I think you're also very clear. ”

As a husband and wife, the relationship between the two may not be good. But the understanding of both sides is for the kind that knows very well.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Just make it clear. After all, we also agreed at the beginning that we would not interfere with each other. ”

"Don't interfere with each other......" When the crown princess heard this at this time, her expression was a little complicated.

"Yanxin, I let her go. Afterwards, I will inform my mother that I have allowed Yanxin to resign from this female official. ”

The prince was still pouring wine into the cups of the two at this time, but he didn't make any expression when he heard the princess's words.

"As for the reason. Your Highness should also be clear. ”

"Is this testing me again?" The prince closed his eyes for a few seconds at this time, and then opened his eyes: "The relationship between you and Xu Gang is actually not good, let go of Yanxin, purely for the future." You seem to have the idea of a halberd too. ”

"Your Highness said that I don't have a good relationship with Xu Gang, what is the reason?" The crown princess was also a little curious.

"It's very simple, this Xu Gang should be short in life. Your relationship with him is just that of a doctor and a patient. After all, you are the apprentice of the Medicine King. ”

"Your Highness can see it through." The crown princess also nodded at this time. "That's right, Xu Gang can live for half a year at most. If I hadn't helped him hang himself, he wouldn't have survived for two months. ”

"That means that what Xu Gang has is actually your arrangement?"

"Your Highness guessed accurately." The crown princess smiled again. It's just that the smile at this time looks a little crazy.

"Don't praise me again when you speak." The crown prince looked at the crown princess at this time: "From beginning to end, I just wanted a reason." ”

"Doesn't Your Highness know? For later. ”

"When is your future? After my father died? Or after I die? When the prince looked at the princess at this time, he immediately nodded: "That seems to be thinking very far, even after my death." ”

The crown princess did not make a sound, but looked at the prince at this time: "What else does Your Highness want?" ”

"Naturally, there is. I can't figure out who the person you're meeting is? Judging from the situation, you and my second brother and third brother should be connected. But the one who can kill the Yin Demon is definitely not their person. It is unlikely that you will have any contact with the family in Jiangnan, nor is it possible for the Tsing Yi Sect, and the Jurchen Barbarism has nothing to do with you. So the person you met was Xu Gang's person? Certainly not. After all, Xu Gang really has such a powerful master, so why do you need to let Yan Xin go. ”

"Your Highness guessed very clearly."

"Your master's people?"

"Although my master is the king of medicine, there are many people who have received his kindness. But it's actually very dry. After all, when my master is dead, there is no value, right? After all, the dead cannot be healed. ”

"So I guessed wrong?" The prince shook his head at this time: "In that case, I probably guessed who it was." It's just why you have a connection with him. ”

"For the future."

"I've been thinking that you want to be the empress. Or there are other reasons. Even Shen Xia seems to want to help you. ”

"My senior brother is also very ambitious. So I gave him a promise. Coupled with our brother-sister relationship, he will definitely help me. ”

"And what did he say?" The prince sighed at this time, and he was naturally about to come out.

Who would have thought that he would care so much about his imperial grandson.

Then his purpose is also very clear. He would rather live longer and pass the throne to the emperor's grandson. That's the answer.

"So since Your Highness knows, why bother. How can you go against his will? ”

"That's right. I just can't, so I said that when I came here. I'm not here to blame. After all, I shouldn't be able to afford it. ”

The prince didn't seem to be a little self-deprecating when he said this, but he drank another glass of wine.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. After all, his imperial grandson is not also your son. ”

"Simple." The prince shook his head at this time.

"Simple?" When the crown princess heard this, she was puzzled.

"He rarely deceives, but that doesn't mean he can't. And even you believe it. The prince didn't blame at this time, but just sighed.

This is a somewhat weak sigh, after all, things seem to be a little powerless for him now.

"The concubine doesn't understand." The crown princess thought that the prince was playing tricks, but in fact, she knew the prince very well. Although the prince is a big talker, she can know which of his sentences is true and which is false.

After all, it's still the same sentence, the two of them don't necessarily have a deep relationship, but at least they want to understand each other.

All he wanted was revenge, revenge for his woman. For this reason, he even hated me and the two royal brothers. How is it possible to pass the throne to our children......"

The crown princess was naturally incredulous, but then she didn't believe the prince's words: "The concubine understands that this hurts the prince's face." But this is for later. And he really is our child. Your Highness, in fact, you are not impossible...... You can ......."

"I know!" The crown prince looked at the crown princess at this time, and repeated again: "I know!" He's my child! ”

At this time, the prince poured another glass of wine and drank it all again. It doesn't look like it's pouring out its sorrows through wine, it's more like trying to vent through wine.

"You know......" The crown princess naturally couldn't believe it at this time.

"But luckily I noticed it early in the morning. I think I'll ask Fang Ji to look into something, you know. ”

"Fang Ji doesn't want to know if the child is yours? Or do you want to know if the concubine has a lover? There are no concubines. The crown princess shook her head at this time.

"No, this kind of thing can be done by others. I'm not going to let Fang Ji look into this kind of thing. What I want him to check is actually who you listened to, concubine. Fang Ji actually gave me the answer early in the morning, but I only understand it now......"

The prince was a little helpless at this time, after all, it can be said that he had already lost this matter. His father, the emperor, is indeed the most powerful, and this scene where the three of them fight to the death has already had an ending.

"He has been watching the play, watching the three brothers fight, just to avenge his woman......

He could have killed the three of us to vent his anger, but he didn't. He thought of destroying their hopes, just as they did to his women. ”

"But...... But you are his children...... He told me that tigers don't eat their children...... He's just disappointed in you. ”

The crown prince smiled at this time, and this smile was a little miserable.

"Then if he doesn't pass on the throne to our children, then who else can he pass on the throne to?" The crown princess was also a little flustered at this time.

It's not that she doesn't believe what the prince says, she can see that the prince didn't lie to her. She wanted to believe that the prince was wrong.

"That's a good question." The prince nodded at this time. "I can only think of two possibilities."

"Two possible ......"

"First of all, his woman's child is not dead, which I don't think even he knows. So he's not going to gamble on that possibility. I know him well, and he just goes the other way. ”

The crown prince drank another glass of wine at this time, and his intelligence was naturally the best in the entire Great Wei. This is also the reason why he stands tall as the crown prince.

"Then there's only one reason. It's not just you who have been scammed. He even deceived the whole world. ”

"What do you mean......

"Yun Guifei has a child." The prince said at this time.

"Isn't she your sister Your Highness? He's going to pass on the throne to a woman? ”

"When I met her, she was young, and I never saw her since. If she weren't a woman, but a man......"

Hearing the prince's words, the princess was so frightened that her face turned white.

Then he even deceived the Yun family. As for Concubine Yun, she should be a promise to him. If Yun Guifei followed her to keep it secret, this matter would have been done. And for him, there is nothing safer than keeping this future security by his side. ”

If so, what is there to fight about......
