"This is the largest Xianggu Pavilion in Beijing. The prince will be here tonight, because he has learned that there are a good number of prostitutes here today. Since he stopped lifting, he had almost no interest in 'women', and began to play with prostitutes, and the confinement around him also took a lot of effort to lure him here. And the dead soldier of the king of Gangneung County is already waiting here, as long as the prince appears, he will not be able to escape!"

"When did you start laying out?"

"Did I arrange for him to be a pet? That was four years ago, after I knew he wouldn't do it. As for the king of Gangneung, a few days ago, you said that you wanted to get rid of the prince in this way - the original arrangement of the concubine was not for today. ”

"I know, you have always been prepared, you looked inconspicuous at the time, who knew that it would be of great use in the future!"

Qi Min and I sat in the private room by the window on the second floor of the Piaoxiang Courtyard opposite the Xianggu Pavilion, drinking tea opposite each other, and paying attention to the movement at the 'door' of the Xianggu Pavilion while talking.

After a while, a gorgeous sedan chair stopped at the 'door' of the Xianggu Pavilion, and a young man who followed the sedan chair opened the sedan curtain himself and helped the man out. It's the crown prince, there's nothing wrong with that. The prince got out of the sedan chair, looked around, and then took the young man's hand and walked in very intimately. But I noticed that he had only four guards with him.

He didn't seem to be worried that someone would be working against him here. I hooked the corners of my lips and smiled.

Qi Min also smiled: "Except for the closest people, no one will know that he will appear here tonight." I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while, why don't we play the next game of chess?"

I was noncommittal: "Okay. ”

The chess game was quickly set up, I was black, he was white. This is the first time I have played chess with him, and his style of chess looks peaceful on the surface, but secretly it is strategic, and it is a killing machine. My chess style has always been changeable, sometimes careless, sometimes vigorous, at this time, I don't stand out much, just carelessly pass the time.

He always had a natural and soft smile on his face, and I leaned against the window lattice, with a drop that didn't have a match, and from time to time I glanced at the Elephant Gu Pavilion opposite from the corner of my eye.

He had eaten me several words in a row, and I still didn't make a killing move, seeing that my big dragon was about to be blocked, he threw the cloud in his hand and said lazily: "Don't go down." ”

"What's the matter?" he asked with a smile, I didn't speak, my eyes stared straight at the other side, and he said, "Don't worry, it's too late for this night." ”

Still a little uneasy, I asked, "What about the dead soldiers, why didn't I see them?"

Qi Min smiled: "If even you have seen it, then what kind of dead soldier is it?"

I asked him again, "How did you get in touch with them, and if it came to light, wouldn't it really affect you?"

He said: "Of course I won't personally connect with the King of Jiangling County, this time, I use the name of the King of Jinchang County! Don't worry, I won't do anything that I am not sure of, when have you ever seen me confused in such a big matter?"

I sighed and said, "Rao, you're the best of the best!"

He got up and walked over to me, sat down beside me, took me in his arms, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here." I leaned into his arms and slowly felt the hustle and bustle calm down. Suddenly, his body moved, leaning forward slightly, and I hurried to the window to watch, only to see a few people in a hurry running out of the alley on the other side, making some gestures to each other, and then running away in different directions.

My heart was pounding, and I was about to ask something, when I suddenly heard a terrible howl from the other side, followed by a man's panicked voice: "Kill! kill!"

I grabbed Qimin's hand tightly and whispered, "Is it him? Is he dead?"

He said, "Wait a little longer." ”

After waiting for a while, someone knocked on the 'door' of the private room, pinched my fingertips as if comfortingly, and then went over and opened a small crack in the 'door'. I didn't hear what they were saying, but Qi Min quickly closed the door, turned to look at me, and said, "He's dead." ”

When I heard the news, I didn't have a feeling of settled, but asked in a trance, "Really? Is he really dead?"

Qi Min walked over and said, "Well, it's indeed dead, along with his four guards. We have to get out of here, and before long, I'm afraid the capital will be under martial law. ”

I let him lead me out of the back door, and got into the carriage, which had already gone far away, before I asked again: "Prince...... He's not going to jump up and look at me with pride, he's not going to make a lot of nonsense in the court, he's not going to make a black hand hurt my family, is he?"

Qi Min looked at me worriedly and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

I looked at him in a daze and whispered, "It's nothing, it's just a little hard to believe...... It turns out that killing a person can be so simple, he is the prince of a country, and he died like this, in the Xianggu Pavilion. It's ......" I laughed and whispered, "It's ridiculous!"

I had tried so many ways to kill him, but I didn't succeed, but this was the simplest and most direct way, so I easily assassinated him.

"Auntie, the crown prince has been removed, what else do I need to do for you?" Qi Min asked with a smile.

I exhaled a long breath and said leisurely, "I'll do the rest! I thought that the difficult things were solved today, and what else in this world can be difficult for me? But you, Enlightenment, what is your next step? If you don't want to say, forget it. ”

He said bluntly: "My next step is naturally the king of Jiangling County." Get rid of the crown prince, and he will find ways to replace him. ”

I somewhat understood: "You want to control the succession to the throne in the hands of Run, and now the king of Gangneung is the biggest enemy, right?"

He didn't answer and asked: "You tell me first, did your eldest brother say anything besides asking you to be careful of the emperor?"

I was stunned and said, "He also asked me to hold the emperor and grandson in his hands." ”

Qi Min laughed and said, "When your eldest brother's injuries are healed, I think we should have a lot to negotiate." ”

I glared at him and sighed: "The son that Qi Heng has always been proud of has died like this, I don't know how sad he should be! There is one thing I have never understood, in my opinion, the crown prince is obviously a useless person, so where did all his talents and merits in front of Qi Heng come from?"

Qi Min said lightly: "Of course I gave it, and the reason why he trusts me is because under my advice, he got everything he wanted." ”

I wasn't too surprised, it seemed like it made sense from the start.

The hexagonal lantern lit in the carriage was as dim as a bean, and his face was not very clear in the ups and downs, and I tried to see him clearly, and asked, "Qimin, is your ultimate goal just to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"

He held my hand close to his 'lips' and kissed him lightly, and said slowly and solemnly: "My ultimate goal is to hold you to rule the world together!"
