The escort team talked and laughed along the way, and it seemed to be extremely relaxed, but in the palace of the capital, there was a faint bloody storm.

After the second prince returned from the general's mansion, the anger in his heart has been difficult to eliminate, and he can't wait to do something big now, to file the sharp spirit of the eldest prince, and let him know that his second prince is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

The second prince had a dark face, and hurriedly strode to the study, he pushed the door open with force, and asked coldly to the retainers, "How is it?" Have you all the manpower been arranged? ”

The retainer was so frightened by the second prince's sudden push on the door and the thick anger on his body that he jumped up from the desk, he looked at the second prince in a daze, and replied honestly, "Your Highness, what about the people, I have already arranged it, but now the escort team has only been out of the city for a while, if we do it at this time, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the eldest prince." ”

"I don't care! As long as I can vent the hatred in my heart, I can do anything! I'm going crazy with this wood! You tell them to act immediately, and I'm going to make them disadvantageous! ”

The second prince roared vigorously, as if the medicine roared loud enough, the anger in his heart would disappear with it, and there was a raging fire in his eyes, as if he was about to devour the retainers in front of him alive.

The retainer swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some fear, if he really sent someone out to assassinate at this time, it would definitely expose the identity of the second prince as the mastermind behind the scenes, and the closer to the capital, the better Zhou Zirui would be to dispatch the support troops in the general's mansion, and the second prince did not have many manpower, so there was no need to suffer huge losses here.

The retainer thought about it carefully, and still hoped that the second prince would be able to put away such a dangerous idea, he took a deep breath, and was ready to be scolded in his heart, and said to the second prince with extreme caution, "Your Highness, the current situation is not conducive to our actions, we still ......"

Before the retainer could finish his words, the two of them heard a very excited shouting from outside the door, which carried some irritability and worry, and the others also became a little anxious.

"What about people? What about people? What about the second prince? Don't stop me! I want to see the second prince! How is the princess? An An, is she okay? ”

The retainers and the second prince immediately glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces became extremely solemn in an instant.

"Why did he come at this time? Did you send someone to inform you? ”

The second prince frowned tightly, and asked the retainers with some anger.

The retainer looked aggrieved, he shook his head and whispered to the second prince, "No, didn't we already talk about it yesterday?" Wait until after lunch, and then call him over......"

The second prince glanced at his retainers suspiciously, and then waved his hand impatiently, "No matter, now that everyone has come, then I have to speed up the plan and go down." ”

The second prince shook his neck a little annoyed, he moved his muscles and bones, and cursed in a low voice, "What's wrong today, everything is messed up, it's really annoying!" ”

The retainer hurriedly and carefully helped the second prince open the door, and whispered to the second prince's face, "Your Highness, pay attention to your expression......"

The second prince glared at his retainer in displeasure, then he took a deep breath, hid the angry expression on his face, and immediately changed to an extremely sad appearance, his head was slightly on one side, his head drooped in extreme decadence, and he walked out in great frustration.

The middle-aged man who was stopped by the soldiers outside the door was none other than Qiao An'an's father, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, General Qiao Yuanwu Qiao.

As soon as Qiao Yuanwu saw the second prince, his expression immediately became very nervous, he hurriedly waved away the weapons that were blocking him, took a big stride, and rushed straight to the front of the second prince, frowning, and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, where is An An?" What about An An? How is she? ”

The second prince squinted at Qiao Yuanwu, deliberately sighed softly, and said very suspiciously, "General Qiao, why are you here?" ”

"I called him here, and by the way, I also told him about the situation of the princess, second emperor, you won't mind, right?"

A figure slowly walked out from behind Qiao Yuanwu, the second prince glanced behind Qiao Yuanwu, the expression on his face immediately became extremely distorted, he stared at the eldest prince who was slowly pacing towards him and asked, "Brother Huang, why don't you say it in advance when you come to my palace, so that I can be prepared." ”

The eldest prince stood beside Qiao Yuanwu, "No need, they are all their own brothers, what are you polite to me?" ”

The second prince frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust on his face, if he could, he really didn't want to call this wooden stunned brother and sister.

The eldest prince looked at the second prince's expression as if he had eaten, and felt a little proud in his heart, so he added a heavy hammer to him, "The royal brother thinks that such a big thing happened to Miss An An, but General Qiao, as his father, has never known about it, which must be very uncomfortable, so I told General Qiao everything that the second emperor brother said to me in the morning, can the second emperor brother be strange?" ”

When the second prince heard this, he quickly greeted the eldest prince fiercely in his heart, and he immediately pretended to be guilty and said to Qiao Yuanwu, "General Qiao, it's not that I won't tell you, I'm just afraid that I will blame myself if you know, so I want to ......"

"Your Highness, tell me everything quickly, how is An An now? What the hell is going on, how did a person who was so good suddenly become like this? ”

General Qiao was anxious, the expression on his face was very anxious, he stared at the second prince tightly, just hoping that the second prince could let him see his daughter soon, no matter what kind of situation his daughter was in now.

"General Joe...... An An's ...... Just ...... just now."

The second prince deliberately made a heartbroken look on his face, and said to General Qiao hesitantly, "The imperial doctor just said it...... An An's ...... Already...... Passed away. ”

When General Qiao heard this, his eyes immediately widened, he looked at the second prince in a daze, but his body involuntarily took two steps back, his legs and feet were weak, and he was about to fall backwards.

Qiao Yuanwu's hands began to tremble violently, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the placket of the second prince's clothes, and asked loudly, "Do you dare to say it again?" What's wrong with An'an? I ask you! What's wrong with An'an! ”

The second prince stopped Qiao Yuanwu's appearance, and the hidden displeasure in his heart suddenly poured out again, he immediately cooled his face, tore Qiao Yuanwu's hand from his collar heavily, and said in a deep voice with a full face, "General Qiao, about An An's matter, please mourn, I am also very sad to hear this news, I never thought that An An would be killed by that assassin......

A layer of tears welled up in Qiao Yuanwu's eyes, he lowered his hand weakly, and pleaded with the second prince with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, let me see An An'an, otherwise, I will not give up on this matter at all." ”
