Chapter 52: The Assassin Kills the King

The prince walked to Qingquan Palace in a hurry, but the sedan chair may not be as fast as the barefoot.

When Xiao Zhuozi ran back to Qingquan Palace, the prince was still wandering on the road. Mama Xi was originally accompanying the holy car, but when she saw him coming back, she came over inadvertently.

Choosing a place where no one was around, Mama Xi lowered her voice and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Xiao Zhuozi looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything, and it seems that someone has cleaned up wherever the wind comes out." ”

"What can I do? Xiao Pei's son was a useless thing, and he asked him to look for the prince's belongings but didn't find it. This...... The girl must be dying. ”

Xiao Zhuozi pretended to be in a hurry with her, and also sighed, "Alas, I am indeed going to die in a hurry." It's also to blame Mama that you didn't arrange people well, if you let the slave go to the prince's things, the slave will definitely not return empty-handed. ”

Xi Mama knocked him angrily, and said with some complaints: "Don't say it so nicely, you are not more useful than him." ”

Xiao Zhuozi raised his face and said unconvinced: "Mama, don't underestimate people, I'm much better than Xiao Peizi." If you don't believe us, if it were me, I would definitely not go home empty-handed, and we would bet on a pot of dumplings. ”

Mama Xi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said, "I have a big bet with you about the past, and I don't have time to take care of you." ”

Xiao Zhuozi grabbed Mama Xi and asked mysteriously, "Mama, what do you think this is?" ”

Xi Mama looked over, grabbed it, and took a closer look at it through the light. This seems to be a jade from Persia, there is only such a piece in the world, the emperor gave it to the prince before, and this must be the prince's personal belongings.

Mama Xi was overjoyed, "Good boy, you really have you, I'll go and give this to the girl." ”

Xiao Zhuozi shouted in the back: "Don't forget my dumplings." ”

Entering the room, Mama Xi glanced at Miaoli, and Miaoli understood and came over quietly. Because the emperor was in front of him, the two did not have any communication, and Mama Xi directly stuffed the jade pendant into Miaoli's palm.

Needless to say, Miao Li can also guess what kind of jade pendant Xi Mama gave, the prince must not want to pick it up today, she just asked people to go out and invite the eldest princess, how can the eldest princess not be there for such a big thing?

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the prince came.

Before he entered the door, he began to shout, "What's wrong with you, third child?" It's my brother who is late, and our brothers were drinking together just now, why did you fall into the water? ”

attracted the emperor and a room of mothers to look at it.

The emperor didn't want to see him, this idiot couldn't come in properly to attract everyone's attention. If he is clean, it is fine, but if he is not, it will be difficult to protect him.

The emperor hated it in his heart and scolded: "Prince, what are you crying wolf about?" The third child is fine! If you howl again, get out of here. ”

The prince suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant. With his head down, he walked to the emperor's side and stood with his hands down, not daring to speak again. Peeked at Zhou Shuxuan, it is true that he is not dead, but he is not far from death. Look at that little face, whiter than paper. The breath is weak, there is no inlet of air.

The prince secretly rejoiced in his heart, what if he was rescued, he still had to die.

The first bowl of medicine has been fried, several people helped Zhou Shuxuan to get up, Miaoli served him to drink the medicine, a bowl of medicine was extremely difficult to drink, and he had to spit out half a mouthful of food. Looking at him like this, Miao Li felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, and almost held back her tears to feed him to drink.

After feeding the medicine, Miaoli's eyes swept to the prince standing beside the emperor, and her heart was full of hatred. Seeing the smile on the prince's face, he probably had a bottom in his heart, and sure enough, the prince did it, and it didn't seem that she framed it.

Miao Li calculated the time in her heart, the eldest princess should be coming soon, and the show is about to start.

After another tea time, Concubine Jin saw that it was not too early, and wanted to persuade the emperor to go back to the palace to rest, but before she could say anything, she heard the sound of "the eldest princess has arrived" outside.

The emperor of the inner room also heard it, and said in his heart that it was not good, and there must be nothing good for the eldest princess to enter the palace so late. Thinking about it, he glared at the prince fiercely, this idiot who has no brains, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes.

The crown prince didn't notice the emperor's glance, and was still immersed in joy.

"Zhuang Ding, what are you doing here?" Before the eldest princess could say goodbye, the emperor asked directly.

The eldest princess came on horseback and still had the cold air outside, and said in a cold tone: "I heard that there is a good scene of fratricide in the palace, as an aunt, the minister must not miss it." ”

"Solemn!" The emperor snorted, "You also believe this kind of villain's nonsense, as the eldest princess, don't you know what is right and wrong?" ”

The eldest princess sneered, took a closer look at Zhou Shuxuan's situation, and then turned around and said, "The minister is not here to quarrel with the emperor today, whether it is or not, it is his own judgment." The eldest princess looked at Miao Li, "King Qin's minions, don't you do anything like the emperor?" ”

But when she came to support her, Miao Li knelt straight on the ground, "Back to Your Highness, it's about the prince's minions, and they don't dare to identify it rashly." ”

It came too suddenly, and the prince didn't think of talking about him directly. couldn't hold his breath at all, and jumped out and said: "What does it have to do with Lonely, little slave and maid, bold and bold, and dare to spew blood." ”

"Shut up! Is it your turn to speak? The eldest princess glared at the prince fiercely, and roared in front of everyone, without leaving him any affection.

The prince was almost mad, but the emperor didn't speak, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he retreated in a gloomy manner.

The eldest princess said to Miao Li again: "What is the matter with the prince, there is this palace, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Miao Li said reasonably: "Today, the prince behaved strangely at the banquet, and he had to leave the prince to drink." The slave maid persuaded a few words, saying that when it was time for the prince to drink medicine, the prince would never let him go. Deliberately that the prince did not have a good heart. After that, the slave and maid collided with the prince for the sake of the prince's body, and the prince let the prince go. ”

The emperor didn't miss any opportunity to clear the crown prince's name, and before Miaoli could say something, he couldn't wait to say: "You just said that King Qin sent you to find something, and when you went back, King Qin had already fallen into the water." Just one sentence that the prince behaves strangely can identify the prince? ”

The eldest princess glanced at the emperor and said mockingly: "Is she finished?" The emperor can't wait! ”

The eldest princess was so faceless that the emperor was so angry that his face turned blue and he didn't speak again.

Miao Li and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and then continued: "If the slave maid does not have conclusive evidence, she will not dare to talk nonsense. Miaoli took out the jade pendant and put her hands on the ground. This is found from the side of the streamer spring, please take a look at it. ”

As soon as the emperor saw the jade pendant, he knew that it was over. In front of so many people, no matter how much he can say and argue, he can't clear the white prince.

The emperor did not take the jade pendant, the eldest princess took the jade pendant and looked at it, her eyes fell on the prince, and she stared at the prince with a smile. "This palace remembers that this was given to the crown prince by the emperor in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and there is such a piece of jade in the world. Prince, don't say that your aunt has wronged you, as long as you take out your jade pendant and show it to everyone, the palace will believe that you are innocent. ”

The prince was stared at by her, and touched his waist, which was empty and empty. In an instant, the prince's soul floated away. Before he left, he had clearly checked and left nothing behind.

The prince didn't react for a long time, and the answer was self-evident.

Fortunately in private, the emperor can still die and not admit it. But in front of so many people, all the people in the palace came with heads and faces. The eldest princess was aggressive again, and the emperor couldn't resist the pressure and stood up with all his strength, and slapped the prince hard, "Bastard, a few glasses of wine have confused you, do this kind of thing." ”

At this time, the emperor did not forget to teach the prince how to speak, the prince has always done stupid things, and now his mind suddenly brightened, and he knelt down and said: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong." Erchen drank wine and was confused for a while, and accidentally pushed King Qin into the water. ”

It's starting to wash again!

The eldest princess evoked a sneer, and followed the prince's words and asked, "You drank wine and accidentally pushed King Qin into the water." Your blood brother has fallen overboard, and it's time for your wine to wake up, right? Did you come to the rescue? Did you call someone for help? You don't, pretend nothing happened. What drunk, this palace sees that you are deliberate! You just made up your mind to kill King Qin! ”

The emperor stood up to speak for the prince, "Didn't you say that the prince drank a few more glasses?" It's forgivable for not being clear about doing things. ”

The eldest princess nodded, pretending to understand, and asked the emperor in a softened tone, "So the prince is drunk, can he be forgiven even if he kills his own brother?" ”

The emperor knew that he didn't pay attention, and for the sake of the prince, he nodded slightly in front of everyone.

"Okay, my sister is in a good mood today and has eaten a few glasses of wine, and now she is also drunk. Since anything can be forgiven if you are drunk, then the courtier sister is not polite. The eldest princess turned around and pulled out a sword from her waist, and the sword shimmered in the light.

It happened suddenly, and the people standing in the room didn't know martial arts. watched the eldest princess's sword resting on the emperor's neck.

The emperor held his breath and didn't dare to take a breath, and asked in a trembling voice: "Zhuang Ding, what are you going to do?" ”

The eldest princess controlled her strength well, so that the emperor felt oppressed, but she would not hurt him, and then said without changing her face: "I can forgive my brother if I get drunk and kill my brother, then it is the same if I kill my brother when I am drunk." And I don't need to forgive yet, I'll kill myself if I kill you. ”

The emperor stabilized his mind and emphasized, "Zhuangding, I am the emperor." ”

"I know that you are an emperor, and you have been an out-and-out faint monarch in the past few years. Don't you want your precious son to inherit the throne? I'm helping him now, and you can vacate his position so he can succeed him. ”

The eldest princess glanced at the prince who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and she was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked it hard.

Concubine Jin stood outside, unable to save the emperor by force, so she slowly stepped forward and said to the eldest princess in a consultative tone: "Please think twice, the princess, the emperor is always the emperor." Princess, don't be a sinner who assassinates the king. ”

The eldest princess laughed three times arrogantly, "Congratulations to everyone, if today's events are recorded in history because of my Zhou Buqing, then you are witnesses of history." ”

The emperor felt that the sword over there was only about to cut off his throat, and the eldest princess went crazy today, and a shake of her hand could kill him. The emperor softened his voice and said, "Qing'er, we have something to discuss." ”

It's useless to call a nickname, the eldest princess didn't back down at all, stared at the emperor deadly, gritted her teeth and said: "There's nothing to discuss, you only have one choice now, which is to give death to this inhuman prince." ”
