Chapter 56 Wreckage
After the assassin's incident, the palace was silent, and there was no news that any dignitaries had come to pay their respects again.
However, the happy events of the three princes of the palace suddenly spread all over the big and small corners of Xishi Street.
Some storytellers said that this new princess has the ability to reach the sky, and she can't even shoot arrows. There are also rumors in the market, which are nonsense, saying that the former princess was forced to death by this ruthless woman.
In short, there are different opinions, depicting Xuan Zhige as a flood beast.
It hurt Xuan Zhige to bother to get out of the gate of the palace and fight with these people.
In the end, it was still the eighth day of the new year, and she Xuan Zhige and Baili were happy days.
Outside the front door of this door were full of lights, and the red silk hanging was about to shine into her eyes.
Even early in the morning, a bride came to urge her to put on makeup and wash.
It made her so irritable.
She looked at the crowd shuttling back and forth in the palace in every possible way, and dozed off vigorously.
If she guessed correctly, today's marriage must have changed something.
Not to mention that Tianwu had hinted at her today's events before, and the assassination a few days ago had already explained the prince's motives, I am afraid that there will be happy events in this palace, and I am afraid that this prince will not be welcome.
It's good.
If it comes, kill it.
She seemed to be sleeping, but in fact, she always secretly held her dirty sword for self-defense in her hand, and never let it go.
And the seemingly busy figure on the side began to disperse for some reason.
Until, the window, moved slightly, and a footstep sounded, quickly approaching!
Xuan Zhige secretly estimated the man's pace, estimated that he was about to get closer, and immediately pulled out the dirty sword from his cuff and aimed it at the man's approaching throat!
I saw that the man didn't expect Xuan Zhige to pretend to be asleep, and his eyes were shocked, however, he couldn't escape if he wanted to.
Xuan Zhige's eyes were sharp, he took a step forward, and said coldly: "Take off your mask." ”
The man's eyes dodged, and when he was about to commit suicide, he saw Baili Jingchen flying in from the side, tightly choking his throat, forcing him to spit out the poison in his mouth, and said coldly: "I know that you are the prince's person." As long as you tell the truth in front of the emperor, I can spare your life. ”
"Really?"
There was excitement in the man's eyes, a desperate joy, and he said coldly.
"Seriously."
Baili nodded and promised.
"Good. I promise you. ”
The assassin was obviously only bought a life, desperate and wanted money to assassinate, not a long-trained dead soldier, seeing Baili Jingchen say this, he immediately agreed to his conditions.
"Someone! Take this assassin to the antechamber of the palace! ”
Baili gave an order, and Beixuan pressed the assassin to the front hall.
The front hall was doing Ye Guifei and Emperor Yuansheng, and when they saw someone being escorted towards here, and saw Xuan Zhige and Baili Jingchen behind them, they couldn't help but feel cold in their eyes, and there was a look of displeasure in their eyes.
"Get on your knees!"
Beixuan kicked the assassin in the shin, knocking the assassin to the ground.
Say. Who sent you to assassinate the princess? ”
Baili Jingchen saluted Ye Guifei and Emperor Yuansheng, and asked coldly.
"Your Majesty spares your life! The prince's men gave me a bag of gold, saying that if I could kill the princess of this palace tonight, I would add another bag! The villain is obsessed with money, and he agreed to it for a while! I don't want this gold, but I'll give it back to you, can you let the small ones go? ”
The man shuddered, and took out a bag of gold from his bosom.
I saw Ye Guifei take a closer look, and said with some surprise: "Isn't this cloth a tribute from the little prince of Beimeng?" There are only two people in this palace, one is the main palace, and the other is the queen's mother...... This ......"
Ye Guifei wanted to speak and stopped, and Emperor Yuansheng naturally didn't favor him anymore when he heard it, so he had to calm his face and ask, "What you said, is everything true?" If one word is wrong, I will take your head. ”
"It's true. Every sentence is true. ”
The man hurriedly agreed with a shudder.
But he heard Emperor Yuansheng in front of all the guests and friends, and gave an order: "Someone! Get me the prince! ”
"Yes!"
The Ouchi guards who had received the order rushed back after a while, but they were empty-handed and did not see a single person.
I saw that the Ouchi guard knelt down with some embarrassment and said: "The subordinates really searched the entire Prince's Mansion, but they saw that the Prince's Mansion was empty, and not a single figure could be seen. ”
"What?! Without my order, he, a rebel, dared to leave without permission!? Someone, give me a thorough investigation of the whereabouts of this rebel!! ”
Emperor Yuansheng roared angrily, his whole face turned pale, and his beard trembled.
But at this time, the soldiers guarding the city on Chang'an Street ran in a panic, and when they saw Emperor Yuansheng, they knelt down and shouted in a trembling voice covered with blood: "Your Majesty!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, raised troops in the city, and reversed!! ”
"What?!"
When Emperor Yuansheng heard this, Long Yan was furious, slapped the table and stood up, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable!" ”
Baili was shocked under the seat, but smiled faintly.
Xuan Zhige frowned.
- This prince is too composed. It's just a few days of dismissal, and maybe it will come back later. How to say the opposite, it is the opposite.
General Ye on the side couldn't sit still, his eyebrows were crossed, and he asked: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the forbidden army to take down the prince!" ”
"General Ye listens to orders! Be sure to capture the prince alive! I'm going to interrogate it myself! ”
Emperor Yuansheng angrily underground!
"Erchen, please go together!"
Baili was shocked, and his face sank, and he asked very sincerely!
"Let's go together."
Emperor Yuansheng was exhausted, slowly sat down, waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Baili, who got the order, was shocked by the red clothes, and led the horse out with General Ye, heading straight in the direction of the city wall!
Xuan Zhige was not at ease, and secretly followed all the way.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw the prince leading the army forward, shouting all the way-
"I want to see my father! I have something to say to my father! Why did he imprison my mother! Why did you wronged my mother! ”
It turned out that this prince rebelled like this, and he actually wanted to express his grievances for the queen?
Xuan Zhige couldn't help but feel that this prince was too impulsive. This rebellion is a first-class crime.
But seeing her in a trance, the two armies were already mixed together!
And Baili was at the end, but he calmed his complexion, slowly took a bow and arrow, and aimed the arrow at the prince's head!
"What is he going to do?!"
Xuan Zhige couldn't help but be surprised!
Before she could stop it, she saw the arrow "swoop" and went straight to the prince's head!
I heard the sound of blood splattering on the spot, and the prince was stunned on the horse, and he fell down and fell to the ground without a sound!
When General Ye turned around to see who had shot the arrow, he didn't see anyone.
Hundreds of miles of shock, it has already mixed in with the soldiers.
And when the prince's army saw that the dragons were leaderless, it was a crime of rebellion, so they had already lost their armor, fled, and died.
Only General Ye, with a gloomy face, slowly picked up the prince who had lost his voice, and said with a soft sigh: "Let's go." Go home. ”
Everyone didn't expect that the former prince would end up like this, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Baili Jingchen always looked cold, and never said a word.
When General Ye brought back the prince's corpse and placed it in front of Emperor Yuan Sheng, Emperor Yuan Sheng's whole face turned pale for a while, and he stumbled backwards, almost fainting!
He trembled, his eyes filled with tears, and said in a low voice, "Who? Who is it? Who killed the crown prince?! ”
"Wechen is guilty of failing to bring the prince alive to see His Majesty. It's Wechen's fault. ”
General Ye was upright, and when he saw that His Majesty was grief-stricken, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not my father's fault! On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, who can really guarantee that it is foolproof?! What's more, the crown prince is guilty of treason, Your Majesty......"
As soon as Concubine Ye saw that General Ye was involved in this matter, she immediately knelt down, bowed deeply, and begged Emperor Yuansheng.
"Get out of my !!"
Emperor Yuansheng, who was furious, staggered down, slowly hugged the prince, and said with vicissitudes and despair in his eyes: "Prince, prince, I raised you single-handedly, why don't you understand my heart like this...... Yes? ”
Emperor Yuansheng slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of old tears ran down his wrinkled cheeks, and suddenly, they dripped on the prince's cheeks.
However, the prince's life can no longer be called.
"Your Majesty, please mourn."
General Ye bowed his head and bowed deeply, and kowtowed with great self-reproach and guilt.
I saw Emperor Yuansheng hugging the prince and crying bitterly, burying his cheeks in his chest, crying silently!
Finally, the old man slowly raised his head and ordered softly: "The prince rebelled, and he took the blame for himself." Life, buried in the imperial mausoleum, do not enjoy incense. ”
Xuan Zhige heard Emperor Yuansheng's words, and knew that although he did not agree with the prince's behavior, he still loved the incompetent and mediocre prince, and still let him be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
"Yes."
The eunuch on the side replied and hurriedly returned to the palace to report the funeral.
And Baili Jingchen on the side bent down slightly, his face expressionless.
Xuan Zhige looked at Baili Dust, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart.
Probably, the royal family affection is the strongest, and that's it.
On the eighth day of the new year, a happy event, it became a white event.
According to custom, the wedding was not suitable for any longer, so it was hastily canceled.
In the middle of the night, the moonlight was clear and shone on a tree in the courtyard.
Baili Jingchen hung himself on this tree, and kept drinking in a muffled voice, silent.
When Xuan Zhige approached, he glanced at her a little drunkly, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I still couldn't make you a princess." ”
With that, he smiled helplessly, lowered his head again, and took a sip of wine.
"I'm trying to say, not that. What I want to tell you is that I saw it today, and you shot that arrow. ”
Xuan Zhige stared at him, her eyes full of puzzlement.
"Oh? Is it? Thankfully, you saw it. ”
Baili Jingchen smiled indifferently and said coldly.
The eyes are also full of cold melancholy.
"Why?"
Xuan Zhige sighed lightly, still unable to bear to ask.
"Why? In this battle for the throne, where is there anything and why? This royal family affection, where there are ordinary people, is so harmonious. It's nothing more than a trick used by the superiors. What else could there be for why? ”
Baili sneered, laughed indifferently and cruelly, took a sip of spirits, and entered his intestines!
"Actually, you can choose not to be like this."
Xuan Zhige sighed softly, raised his head, and said softly.
"It's too late. I'm already in the game. Where there is so easy, pull out. ”
The liquor on Baili Dust's lips ran down his neck, and the wine jar in his hand fell from the sky, and with a "boom-" sound, the wreckage shattered to the ground.
