After finishing the killing, he quickly stretched out his hand to test his snort to see that he was still alive, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly ran out to call Chu Yaocen over.

Chu Yaocen reluctantly got off the bed, and after listening to the killing and saying the general situation just now, he was ready in his heart, but when he saw the face of the third prince, he still felt a little uncomfortable, and asked the palace maid to come over and wash his nose, and then gave medicine to his face, and then wrapped his face in a tight layer of gauze.

After doing all this, Chu Yaocen went over to wash his hands and asked, "Does Xiaohu know about this?" ”

Wan Kill shook his head: "After I found out, I immediately went to tell the second master, except for you and me and a few palace maids, no one knows about it." And it's already the middle of the night, so I didn't tell Xiaohu. ”

"It doesn't matter, this person is too cruel to himself, although he can't die, but this face is like this for the rest of his life." Chu Yaocen sighed and said.

"If Xiaohu knows about this tomorrow, I don't know how sad she will be......" Wan Kill muttered, and said, "Second Master, how long will it take for his face to scarry?" He was bent on going to the court to help Xiaohu, so he had to wait for the wound to become a scar, right? ”

"It's cold now, and it may be a long time before the wound on his face heals on its own. But it doesn't matter, isn't it the New Year recently, and you don't need to go to court for the New Year. Chu Yaocen looked at the face of the third prince wrapped in white gauze, he had always thought that the third prince was cowardly and indecisive, otherwise he would not have given up his throne because he could not handle the division of power in the court. But now it seems that he is underestimating this person.

I don't know if he was stimulated before, or if he was really forced into a desperate situation, he was able to put such a heavy hand on himself, this person is not simple, I'm afraid there will be an inevitable battle between him and them.

Xiaohu only found out about this matter three days later, that is, on the day of the Chinese New Year, and she couldn't accept it for a while, her third brother was originally such a handsome young man, but now she didn't know what kind of terrible face he had under the white gauze.

Even if Xiaohu listened to the explanation of the third prince and listened to his plans for the future, he still couldn't accept it, crying and shouting that Chu Yaocen must save the third prince and restore his appearance to his original appearance.

Qingdi also patiently persuaded Xiaohu, since the appearance of the three princes could not be restored, it was better to respect the decision of the three princes and let it be, Xiaohu did not listen and continued to pester Chu Yaocen. Chu Yaocen has already passed the time period when he thinks Xiaohu is innocent and cute, and now he only feels that this kind of ignorant and disobedient girl is very annoying, so he avoids her all day long and does not give her any chance to speak.

has been making a fuss for the New Year, and it is the Lantern Festival again, the three princes uncover the gauze on their faces, and the new pink skin on the whole face is irregular, one on the left and one on the right, the scabs in some places have not fallen off, and the whole face seems to be broken and spliced back together. The burnt part of the hair on the forehead did not grow out, and a few sparse strands drooped on it, which really made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it.

Especially thinking that he was such a handsome man before, and he had the nobility of the royal family, but now he has become like this.

He himself was very happy with the appearance, he looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, and really felt that the current appearance was perfect. At first, he was worried that even if his face was injured, someone would recognize him, but now it seems that no one will recognize him at all. What he has to do now is to let Xiaohu accept him, and then the two of them will go to court together to control the government of Wu back into their own hands.

It's always not okay to give it to Qingdi completely.

But Xiaohu was angry and scared, and kept avoiding the third prince and was unwilling to listen to him.

The third prince had no choice but to chase her outside the palace, knocked on the door and knocked for a long time, Xiaohu didn't come to open the door for him, and shouted at him through the door: "You go, I don't want to see your face, it's terrible!" ”

The third prince stopped knocking on the door, was silent for a long time, and said: "Xiaohu, don't be willful anymore, you and I are both members of the royal family, we inherit the bloodline of our father and mother, and we have the responsibility to make our contribution to this country." I can't live in the shadows all my life, watching you stay indifferent all day long for the sake of government and politics. As soon as tonight passes, tomorrow will go to the court, I have prepared a new identity for myself, and I will be with you tomorrow, and the court will help you. ”

"I don't need you to sacrifice yourself for Wu Guo, you don't have to do this, your contribution can be made by your sister, why should you hurt yourself?" Xiaohu cried.

"Little Tiger ......" The third prince was silent for a long time, and said: "Xiaohu, I understand your feelings, I am your lost brother, and now that the life and death of the second brother are uncertain, I am your only relative, so you don't want to see me hurt." But it is precisely because I have done such a thing in myself that you should be more relieved, because this is exactly what it means that I cherish my life and how much I cherish you, I will give up some insignificant things in exchange for more benefits. ”

Xiaohu has changed from howling and crying to sobbing in a low voice, she thought carefully about the words of the third prince for the first time, indeed, he sacrificed his appearance to come to her side to help her, this is really a manifestation of his love for himself and cherishing her.

It's just that his face is really ...... Xiaohu knows that she is very superficial, she just likes to be good-looking, and she has almost no way to look at ugly people.

Xiaohu struggled for a while, and finally made up his mind. Ugly is ugly, as long as you get used to it, it's all good.

Since it was decided, Xiaohu hurriedly got up and opened the door of the dormitory, and saw the third prince who had fallen a shoulder of snow grinning at her, this smile was extremely bleak and terrifying, but Xiaohu saw that he loved herself, and she couldn't hate it.

Xiaohu blinked, looked up again, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then touched the third prince's bare head and asked, "Third brother, what's the matter with you?" How is it completely bald? ”

"Oh, the hair on my forehead was burned out a lot, so I simply cut it all off, which also brought convenience to my new identity." The third prince said with a chuckle.

Xiaohu thought about what the third prince said, a cold wind blew, and she realized that they were still standing at the door, so she quickly pulled the third prince into the room and sat down to talk.

"As you might have guessed, my new identity is a monk." The third prince has been thinking about it for a long time, and now he finally has the opportunity to tell Xiaohu, "Although the people in our royal family have not believed in any sect, there are still many people who believe in Buddhism among the people of Wu Kingdom, so the royal family can also start to believe in Buddhism, and then you will arrange an identity for me on the grounds of inviting monks into the palace to say the law, and you can arrange it in Minglu Temple. Then you can take me into the palace openly on the pretext of listening to my lectures. Then let me gradually take over the government, and after about a month, if I make a meritorious service, you can justifiably make me an official and let me go to the court. ”

"Huh? Another month? Can't I just make you an official? Xiaohu asked with a frown.

The third prince smiled, "It stands to reason that it is okay, when I brought Qingdi to the court, I was directly made an official." However, if you directly seal the official, it will inevitably attract me too much attention and give a handle to those who disobey you. ”

"Okay, I understand...... Xiaohu nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "By the way, third brother, then you will gradually take power in the future, what should Sister Qingdi do?" Do you still have to discuss the affairs of the court? ”

When the third prince heard this question, he was silent for a long time and said, "I know that Qingdi is a good girl, and she has done a lot of things for us during this time. But she is not your or my biological sister after all, and it is better to control the major affairs of the DPRK and China in the hands of our Zhang family. As for her, I want to send her to the border of Lebanon to personally look for the second brother. ”

"But will my sister be willing? My sister helped us out of kindness, and she didn't really have any obligation to help me. As a result, you now want me to take back the power from my sister's hands, and let my sister leave the country of Wu to do such a dangerous thing for us, why should she do it for us? When Xiaohu said this, he suddenly thought of something, pointed to the third prince and said, "Third brother, do you want to arrest Cousin Yaocen in order to threaten my sister to go to Northern Xinjiang to find the second brother?" ”

The third prince hurriedly shook his head: "How can I be the kind of person who will take revenge?" What I have just said is only a preliminary plan. Now we can't completely take the power away from Qingdi's hands, after all, you and I don't have a stable foundation now, and I don't know much about many things, so I still need her for the time being. ”

"Oh, I'm confused by you, okay?" Xiaohu shook her head, her head was dizzy if she didn't shake, and she was even more dizzy when she shook it.

The third prince pressed her shoulder to prevent her from continuing to shake, and then said, "Okay, I know, let's do it for the time being." Let's take a look at the rest of the story. ”

Xiaohu nodded.

On the second day, after the fifteen-day holiday from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, all the courtiers returned to the court, and Xiaohu asked the eunuch to read the folds prepared yesterday. She mentioned this matter to Qingdi, so that Qingdi had a plan in her heart.

Inviting a monk into the palace was such a trivial matter, and the officials did not interfere too much, so the third prince entered the palace as a stable identity. When he was about to retire from the dynasty today, someone suddenly presented Zhang Xiuhe's recital, saying that the New Year had passed and he wanted to come back to see his father.

Zhang Xiuhe's father is the middle-aged man who was with the emperor when Qingdi first arrived in Wuguo, he has no interest in power, and since so many things happened to Zhang Xiuhe, his relationship with this son is not so good. But they are father and son after all, and now the son asks to see his father, and it seems that he has to agree.
