Chapter 179: Xiao Ruo
"Me?" , the second prince's eyes flowed, and he immediately sneered, "I see that you are not sober-minded." ”
With that, the second prince pressed the iron cone into the woman's chest again.
"You're the one who isn't sober!" , a heart-wrenching pain came from her chest, the woman's face turned pale, and she fainted not long after saying this.
"Come on, splash water!" , an indifferent voice sounded in the cage.
At this time, the second prince's face was expressionless, not at all gentle as usual, and his eyes looked at the decadent woman without pity, as if he was looking at a dead thing.
The dancer who was splashed with two buckets of cold water still showed no signs of waking up, and the soldier who was worried that the dancer was dead hurriedly stepped forward and sighed her breath with the back of his hand, fortunately, there was still breath.
"Second prince, she just fainted." , the soldier turned his head and bowed to the second prince.
The second prince bowed slightly, and said indifferently, "Continue to splash water until she wakes up." ”
"Yes." The soldier lowered his eyelids, and hurriedly picked up two wooden barrels and retreated.
The second prince looks gentle on weekdays, but he didn't expect this execution to be so vigorous and resolute, it is really a big contrast, and he is even a little afraid of this second prince.
After the soldier left, the second prince dismissed the others.
All of a sudden, only the second prince and the dancing girl were left in the prison.
The second prince looked at the dancer's messy and closed eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
The soldier's movements were quick, but he returned with two more buckets of water in the time of tea.
Putting down the two buckets of water, the soldier was about to scoop up the water in the bucket and splash it on the dancing girl, but was stopped by the second prince, "Slow, let the palace come, you go down first." ”
When the soldier heard this, he quickly put down the barrel, saluted the second prince and retreated.
He was eager to leave immediately, although the second prince looked gentle on his face, but it made people panic in his heart.
The second prince bent down and scooped up a scoop of water and threw it straight at the dancer's face.
The cold water splashed on her face, and the cold water rushed into her nose, and the dancer only felt that she was going to have trouble breathing, so she woke up with a choked voice. She opened her eyes faintly, and was surprised to see the second prince standing alone in front of her.
"Second prince, you broke your promise!" , the dancer bit her lower lip and said hatefully.
He said that as long as they assassinate the Seven Princes and the Seven Princesses, then whether they succeed or fail, he will keep them and ransom them from that filthy place.
But now it seems that they are extravagant.
"You shouldn't be alive, if I hadn't begged my father to let me judge you personally, I think you would have confessed to this palace. No, you just confessed to this palace, you have to be glad that Fang Cai's prison is full of people from this palace, otherwise, you will never be able to live until now! The second prince turned around and did not look at the dancing girl.
The candlelight in the prison was dim, but the dancer felt that the man in white in front of her was dazzling.
"You don't believe us. You know that I am obviously angry .....", the dancer gritted her teeth, and a tear mixed with blood slipped from the corner of her mouth, "Second Prince, you obviously promised us, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will keep us out." ”
"I said it, but you're so stupid and weak. You are stupid to believe my words, you are weak enough to fail to assassinate the Seven Imperial Princesses. The second prince smiled coldly.
The dancers were all annoyed and remorseful, they shouldn't have agreed to him in the first place! He's a wolf in sheep's clothing!
"Second prince, you are so despicable!" , The dancer spat violently in the direction of the second prince.
The second prince turned around and looked at the dancing girl steadily, "Despicable? Xiao Ruo, you still don't understand, if this palace is not like this, do you think I can live in the palace until now? ”
Xiao Ruo? He even knew her name? In an instant, a strange feeling flashed in Xiao Ruo's heart.
But......
"You don't have to talk about your so-called pitiful deeds, there are more poor people in the world who are not fed, clothed, and frozen to death on the streets, which of them is not worse than you, you are despicable!" , Xiao Ruo smacked him.
Hearing Xiao Ruo's scolding, the second prince was not angry, but laughed, "Hehe, what you said is good, compared to them, this palace is indeed not pitiful, but why should this palace compare with them?" ”
The eyes of the second prince were gloomy, "The people to be compared in this palace are the crown prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, and other people who may inherit the throne." ”
Speaking of this, the second prince smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Xiao Ruo didn't want to talk, she knew that the person in front of her was emotionless, although he was usually so gentle.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that he was going to inherit the throne! What he wants is the world!
"The prince is what everyone expects, you won't succeed!" , For a long time, Xiao Ruo snorted coldly, and there was some gloating in his tone.
The second prince was not annoyed, but said indifferently, "What do you expect?" Sooner or later, the palace will discredit him and be jointly opposed by the ministers. This palace is the most suitable person to be the crown prince. ”
"You won't have a chance." , Xiao Ruo reminded.
Maybe it was the word 'different from the concubine' that stimulated the second prince, but I saw him pinching Xiao Ruo's neck with a hideous face, his eyes were bloodshot, "Shut up!" What's the difference? This is not a set of false claims! ”
Xiao Ruo was choked by him, and his face was flushed. She was about to lose her breath.
"Don't say these four words in front of me in the future!" , the second prince shook off the hand that was holding Xiao Ruo's neck.
Xiao Ruo was liberated, and his mouth was full of air.
Ahem, Xiao Ruo coughed lightly twice, and then he didn't dare to cough anymore because of the cough that pulled the wound on his chest, and his little face was wrinkled in pain.
"If you want to live, you promise to continue to work for this palace." , In an instant, the second prince returned to his gentle appearance, as if Fang Cai's hysterical appearance was completely Xiao Ruo's illusion.
"What if I say no?"
"You don't have a choice, think about your sister, your old grandparents." , the second prince looked at her with a smile.
Xiao Ruo's heart was bitter, she really didn't have a choice.
She was so tired, and if she could, she wanted to die, but she couldn't. How could she bear to watch them survive alone? How could she bear to let the second prince harm them?
She can't, she doesn't have a choice.
"Second prince, you are really despicable." , Xiao Ruo gritted his teeth.
"Oh, I warn you for one thing, only those who are incapable of fighting back will say that the enemy is despicable." , the second prince seemed to be smiling.
"Huh." Xiao Ruo replied, she didn't agree with this point of view, but what qualifications did she have to say it?
"I will let you fake your death and leave the palace, and then create an identity for you to enter the palace as my maidservant, and in the future, you will follow me and do things for me." , the second prince said lightly.
Xiao Ruo sneered in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't choose, so she said, "Everyone has already seen my appearance, if it is your palace maidservant, everyone will probably doubt it." ”
"You don't need to worry about that." , the second prince smiled weirdly.
Xiao Ruo's heart trembled faintly.
"It's fake death pill, you took it. When you go out of the palace gate, you will wake up, and the palace will send someone to answer you, and you just have to follow the man's instructions. As he spoke, the second prince took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his cuff, and poured out a black ball from it and put it in Xiao Ruo's mouth.
Without water, Xiao Ruo still swallowed it with difficulty.
After swallowing it for a while, Xiao Ruo felt that his head was groggy and his eyelids were very heavy. After a while, she fainted.
Before closing her eyes, she only vaguely saw the second prince's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Someone!" Seeing that the effect of the medicine had already started, the second prince shouted outside.
After a while, two soldiers hurriedly came over, "Meet the second prince!" ”
"This dancer has signed and died, you can deal with it." , the second prince left a faint sentence and left.
"Yes." , the two guards arched their hands in the direction where the second prince left.
Hearing the sound of footsteps disappearing into the dungeon, the two dared to raise their heads.
Turning to see the dancer with her head drooping, the two soldiers took a few steps forward and habitually probed her snort.
"Big brother, she's dead!" , a slightly short soldier had some disbelief in his eyes.
"Dead?" , apparently the soldier was not convinced.
But when he reached the dancer's snort, his suspicion turned to surprise.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw some doubts in their eyes, this second prince usually looks gentle, why is the hand that punished him so heavy, and he actually burned this dancing girl to death?
"Alas, the assassination of the royal family is a great crime, and since he is dead, let him be thrown into a mass grave outside the city." , the soldier known as the eldest brother gave the order.
"Hmm. This girl is very good-looking, but it's a pity. ”
"What's the use of being good-looking, you dare to assassinate the royal family, and you're not afraid of death. If you marry such a woman, you will probably be unlucky. ”
"That's what Big Brother said!"
As they spoke, they untied the dancer from the cross.
The candlelight in the middle of the night was faint, the cold wind was howling, and it was especially cold inside the prison.
Two soldiers, carrying a woman, were walking slowly to a carriage outside the prison.
The carriage was littered with corpses, and the two soldiers threw the dancer into the carriage and returned to the prison in silence.
The moonlight is like frost, moistening the whole land and adding a bit of coolness to the winter night.
This land in the capital has fallen into a calm.
The lights of the houses have been extinguished, and only the red lanterns hanging in front of the big houses are eye-catching.
In addition to the few lanterns in front of the door, the main hall of the Jin Imperial Mansion is still lit with dim candles.
"The Seventh Princess, everything you want is here." , Steward Ye walked in from outside the door.
