Chapter 177: Sickness
In the monotonous and cramped room, there were a few colorful curtains, and the princess who had removed her crown leaned back on the dresser and yawned, while the maidservants gently removed the royal dress for her.
"Your Highness, the Duke wants to see you—"
With her thin shoulders at knee level, her forehead pressed against the back of her hand, she knelt down and whispered as soon as she entered.
"Got it, let's go down!"
With a tired look in her eyes, the princess bit her lip lightly, and at her beckoning, the maids were busy putting on the half-removed royal robes again.
In the mirror, the beauty of the alluring city and the country was once again covered by the cold, that is, the change between a few eyes, the princess snorted coldly, and when she walked out of the room, she was already like a different person.
"Your Highness!"
The black-clothed guard hurried up the steps, kneeling before whispering to one of the princess's attendants.
When he had finished speaking, the maid conveyed the words to the princess in the same way, and when she saw that the princess had heard this, her expression sank to the bottom at once.
The nails were against the index finger, and the back of the princess's hand was faintly beating, and it was no wonder that she was not good at hiding her emotions, but it was too absurd and irritating.
This morning, the crown prince Su Yi was ill and pushed down the court on the grounds of physical discomfort, and the princess knew that he had a conspiracy, so she sent many subordinates early to closely monitor every move in the prince's mansion.
Until this point, the princess did not wait for the so-called information, but was told that all the eyes and ears she had planted beside the prince had been killed, including a princess, who had been secretly executed in the early hours of the morning...
This is not the most irritating thing, after pulling out the eyes that spy on him, the prince directly led his army to the Star Gate to welcome the general of the protector and the Tianyuan Guardian Army back to the court.
The reception banquet is almost over, and the princess has not received the news until now, it is conceivable how much the crown prince Su Yi has done this time, he didn't even know the courtiers, and he set up the table by himself!
"Damn!"
For more than ten years, the open and secret battles between the prince and the princess have been continuous, and if the reign of the previous lord Su Hong is also counted, it is estimated that there will be nearly twenty years.
In the past 20 years, similar things like burying nails in each other have also been tacitly understood.
Although every few days, one or two people have to be killed to slap each other in the face, but like today, executing all the other party's people without a sound is undoubtedly completely tearing the skin!
"Your Highness, Lord Duke is in a hurry, please go as soon as possible."
"What's there to worry about, isn't it just that the general has returned home? Hmph—"
Two or three waves of secret guards who came to report knelt in a row, and the princess's fingers were blue, and she waved her sleeves fiercely:
"It's gone, just say that I feel unwell and want to go back to the palace to rest, and I'll pay a special visit tomorrow morning!"
The flames beat in the palm of the princess's hand, and the scorching temperature was just like her current mood.
Giggling, laughter seemed to be heard out of thin air, and the princess stomped her foot on the floor, not thinking that the owner of that nasty face must now be taunting her with that languid and sloppy smile with his glass of wine and stepping on the soft red silk blanket.
"Your Highness!"
Another Dark Guard stepped forward, kneeling on the ground with a mechanical eyeball in his hands, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
"What else, say!"
There was no anger in the princess's voice, only the tone was a little colder than usual, and the three secret guards kneeling on the ground shivered at the same time, usually when the princess was really angry, it was like this!
"Blood, Lord Blood Eagle is back, and, along with the general, he has been wooed by the crown prince."
After stumbling and saying this, the secret guard's arm trembled more and more, and the princess, who had been battered, calmed down after hearing about it.
She stepped forward, pinching the mechanical eyeball with one hand, and pressing the other hand on the guard's head.
"Someone should have taught you from the first day you were chosen as a Secret Guard that you must not have responded to me with such a frightened tone, no matter what happened or what time you were in! I don't need anyone to use their fears to prove to me that what I'm facing is dangerous! ”
In the flames, the princess's fingers clenched, and the secret guard collapsed to the ground with a wail, and it didn't take long for him to lose his life.
A piece of almost melted visor was held in the hands of the princess, and the heat wave in the air rolled upside down, and at the same time there was a smell of burning.
The attendants knelt down in fright, their thin shoulders trembling from time to time. The dark guard kowtowed tightly, not daring to make any more moves at this time.
"The cowardly ones have been corrected on the spot, and it has nothing to do with you, so go down."
Pulled up a servant girl from the ground and handed the mechanical eyeball in her hand to the other party, and then the princess said indifferently.
The two secret guards bowed their heads and silently dragged the corpse to retreat, and the pale attendants were still kneeling, and the people in the mouth of the princess did not include those kneeling on the ground.
"This morning, the prince killed a lot of me, and the information came back a little late, so I let a few people live for a while... You've all served me for a long time, and you should know that the most hated thing I do is a traitor! ”
Pinching the chin of the servant in front of her, the princess's fingers swept across the other party's blown-out face, and her movements were gentle like a "man".
The attendants kneeling on the ground were frightened to tears when they heard the princess's words to herself, but before they could cry, a dagger inlaid with jewels was thrown on the ground.
"Start with the person on the left..."
After all, the nightmarish voice was still imprinted in their ears, and these handmaidens were so frightened that they could not speak, and they all understood what the princess meant, that is, to ask everyone to take care of themselves!
"Your name is Xiao Yu, don't be afraid, since I chose you, then you won't die, and when this place is over later, you will come to see me with a dagger and this eyeball."
He patted the servant girl on the cheek as if teasingly, and the latter nodded with teary eyes, not daring to cry.
Blood flowers bloomed one after another, and it was true that no outsiders did anything, but when the dagger was handed in front of him, no one dared to hesitate. It is indeed a good choice for a person to die or implicate a family member.
Perhaps, there will be many innocent people in this, who don't even know anything about the prince.
But there is no way, the princess cannot see their hearts, or rather than go through the trouble of seeing through a person's heart, it is better to see her blood and feel at ease......
In front of the white jade steps where tears and blood were mixed, the servant named Xiao Yu collapsed on the ground, and in just a moment, everyone died, still under her own witness.
Those desperate and painful eyes, the eyes of those unfortunate people hating the lucky ones, Xiao Yu really felt it, she wasted a lot of strength to pick up the dagger from the pool of blood, and it took a long time to turn her back with difficulty, and step towards the Forbidden Palace like a puppet...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
