83 assassination of the prince
The crown prince instructed others to monitor the whereabouts of several highnesses. If you can't determine the name on the edict, don't leave any of them. The crown prince clenched his fists with a fierce expression.
"The Regent's Mansion, you must keep an eye on it." The crown prince originally wanted to kidnap Ouyang Xue, but seeing the regent's expression, he didn't care too much, so he dispelled the idea and decided to postpone it for a few days.
The prince's people were scattered in all directions. The crown prince just wanted to ascend to the throne logically, the princes disappeared, and the ministers could only nominate him. Which king in the past did not sit on the dragon chair like this, and what is the point of killing a few people?
"Prince Yu, the people sent out did not find the Fourth Highness." The prince's people replied.
"Fourth? He's just a coward who doesn't deserve to be mentioned. It's okay, I'll find it later. The prince said indifferently.
"Your Highness, it's not appropriate. His Royal Highness is also a prince. If you are a prince, it is possible that your name will appear on the edict. The counsellor had a different opinion.
"That's right, then send more people, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." In the end, the prince made up his mind not to leave any of them.
His Highness's mansion was surrounded by a group of black-clad and masked men.
"The prince has an order that no one is allowed to stay alive. If you don't do it, you will die. The leader held the knife and said in a low voice.
"Kill."
With this sound, a mob rushed in. His Royal Highness had already taken precautions, and the prepared archers fired arrows in unison. Although the man in black is injured, there is no shortage of people with strong martial arts. Flying up to the room, the short sword turned out to be the archer. His Royal Highness listened to the movement in the courtyard and hurriedly hid in the secret room. At that time, I was already scared into a cold sweat.
The prince's people couldn't find His Royal Highness, so they set fire to the house, and the shouts of killing in the house were heartbreaking, and in a moment the ground was full of corpses. His Highness regretted not changing the secret room into a secret passage. Trapped in a secret room with no way to escape. The smoke gradually spread to the secret room, and His Highness was choked and couldn't open his eyes. had to take a risk and get out of the secret room.
As soon as he walked out, the knife was on his neck. "The hero spares his life, I will pay double, just beg to let me go." Your Highness is so useless.
"We don't want your silver taels." The leader is going to kill His Highness without saying a word.
"A good man spares his life, even if he dies, he must die to understand. Is it Zhao Ziyun? His Highness asked suddenly.
"Shut up, the prince's name is also what you can call?" The leader replied fiercely.
"Sure enough, it's him." What else is His Highness going to say, a sharp sword has pierced the heart. His Highness fell in a pool of blood. In the past, His Royal Highness was so beautiful, but he was killed by the prince like a dead dog.
"Let's go." The leader wiped the blood from his sword. A group of men in black disappeared into the moonlight.
At this time, one person happened to see it all. There is no expression on his face. He thought he had come to take refuge, but he was glad that he hadn't stepped into His Highness's mansion first. This person is the Fourth Highness. After the man in black left, he walked in. Seeing the situation in the house, I felt a little heartache for no reason. His Royal Highness died at his own feet, a member of the prince's faction. At this time, there was panic in his heart, he was not afraid of the crown prince, but the throne. The crown prince actually went on a killing spree for the throne, and he didn't even let go of his own siblings. His Royal Highness stood there for a long time and did not leave. If that's the price of ascending to the throne, he'd rather not. A tear was left on his face. Then he walked out of the mansion.
The regent is also sending people to look for the Fourth Highness, he did not tell the Fourth Highness about the edict, the time has not yet come, and the prince is also protecting the Fourth Highness.
"Your Highness, stay." A guard shouted.
The Fourth Highness was so frightened that he raised his legs and wanted to run. Unexpectedly, he was caught up in three steps.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid, I am the prince's person." The guards hurriedly identified themselves.
"Uncle Huang's people?" His Royal Highness was still not convinced, and wanted to continue running.
"It's a waist card. Your Highness, don't run anymore. The guard hurriedly took out the waist card.
"And where are we going?" The Fourth Highness can be regarded as believing in the guards.
"Go back to the palace, the prince has something to say." The guard led the horse and said.
"It's good to go back to the palace, go quickly." His Royal Highness hurriedly mounted his horse.
The prince's people burned down the mansion of the four highnesses by the same means, but they did not find the four highnesses, and they were afraid that the prince would punish them, so they lied that the four highnesses were burned to death in the fire, and only took the waist card of the four highnesses to go back to restore their lives.
"Good. Reward. "Although the prince is insidious and vicious, his shot is really broad, and the people at the bottom are completely willing to serve the prince for the sake of the silver tael.
Because the palace was also being watched, the guards had no choice but to climb over the wall with the four highnesses.
"The prince is waiting for His Highness. Your Highness please. The guard pointed to Tianyi Pavilion and said. After saying that, he disappeared.
Ouyang Xue recently felt that the palace was very strange, and she listened to the words of the prince and never left the mansion. During the day, you can see someone watching the palace, so you have no choice but to breathe in the courtyard at night.
"Who, who's there?" Ouyang Xue and Qin'er shouted at the same time.
"I, I, am not an assassin." His Royal Highness was so frightened that he hurriedly froze in place.
Ouyang Xue was bold and stepped forward to check.
"How are you?"
"Concubine De?" The Fourth Highness also recognized Ouyang Xue.
The two looked at each other awkwardly. Qin'er coughed dryly twice, and pulled Ouyang Xue back to Jiyan Pavilion.
