Chapter 42: The Bitter Meat Scheme

"It is the honor of Ben Hou to be able to heal the wounds of the three princes, how can you say that it is troublesome? Ben Hou looks at you as a minion is very bold, if something goes wrong with the third prince's body, can you afford it? "Qin Chongzhou is determined to help Huyan Jue Yungong heal his wounds.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, a muffled snort successfully resolved the deadlock.

"Third Prince, are you awake?" Imperial Physician Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The third prince woke up in time." Qin Chongzhou's tone was full of mockery. He could see at a glance that Hu Yanjue was pretending to be dizzy, he was not low in martial arts, how could he be in a coma for so long after suffering this injury, obviously there was another purpose.

"Is Your Majesty alright?" Hu Yanjue asked Zhao Chengxi in the first sentence.

"Your Majesty is fine, the third prince has to take action." Qin Chongzhou's words made people feel no thanks.

"That'll be fine." Hu Yanjue listened to this answer, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

"Imperial Doctor Gu, you go out and wait first, Ben Hou has something to ask the third prince about the assassin."

After Qin Chongzhou dismissed Imperial Physician Gu, he condescendingly stared at Hu Yanjue on the bed, and sneered: "Lord Hu Yan is really good." ”

"What does Master Hou mean, please forgive this king for not understanding." Hu Yanjue looked confused, as if he really didn't understand what Qin Chongzhou said.

"There are no secret words in front of the bright. first asked people to go to the military camp to make trouble to transfer Ben Hou away from His Majesty's side, and then let the assassins replace the troupe to enter the palace to take the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty, and finally stepped forward to rescue the driver, what a plan. ”

Hu Yanjue looked suddenly realized: "It turns out that the assassin was arranged like this, but the Hou Ye is wrong to blame this king, if this king wants to assassinate His Majesty, why should he block this knife for His Majesty?" ”

"Ben Hou also wants to ask the third prince about this." Qin Chongzhou carefully observed Hu Yanjue's reaction, trying to find the loopholes in the details.

"That Hou Ye is looking for the wrong person, this king is sincere to rescue His Majesty, and he has no other heart."

"I hope so. If someone thinks that there is no living mouth, Ben Hou will not be able to find out who is behind the scenes, then it is too underestimate Ben Hou. Since the third prince is so sincere, then he blames the prince for his mistake, so he won't disturb the prince's rest. Qin Chongzhou saw that Hu Yanjue had nothing wrong and didn't dwell on it, so he turned around and left.

Hu Yanjue's attendant confirmed that Qin Chongzhou was gone, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, this little injury is not enough to worry about."

"Lord Wang, it seems that the Protector is already clear about our arrangements."

"So what?" Hu Yanjue sneered, "If he doesn't have evidence, everything is just speculation, anyway, the assassins are all dead, aren't they?" ”

"Lord Wang, the slave is puzzled, why didn't the prince take advantage of the chaos to kill the little emperor? In this way, won't the Tanglin Kingdom be in chaos? ”

"If one emperor dies, there will be the next one. The Tanglin Kingdom does not rely on an emperor, but on the Protector Mansion. Since we can't kill Qin Chongzhou, then let the Protector Mansion lose the trust of the little emperor. ”

"The prince is wise. By the way, Lord Wang, the fifth prince came to see you just now, but he was afraid that it would affect your rest, so the slave politely refused. ”

"She won't see her again in this king, a useless chess piece, it's a waste of time to see it, you can send her yourself."

"The minions obey."

Huyan Light Dance Palace.

"Ahhhh Now that I am disliked by His Majesty, I am a useless chess piece, and the third brother is not even willing to see me! Why do you treat me like this? ”

Huyan danced lightly and swept down a table of food, hysterical, eyes splitting, and no demeanor.

Fortunately, the two palace people in the house were Huyan Qingwu's wedding maids, and they knew Huyan's temperament and comforted: "Princess, why do you bother? If you think about it, that's a good thing. You don't have to listen to the orders of the third prince anymore, there is only one concubine in this harem, the family is dominant, no one fights with you for Your Majesty, princess, you are so beautiful, over time, are you afraid that Your Majesty will not change your mind? ”

"Yes, princess, the other princesses are not as lucky as you, but they are all married, and only you are worthy of the son of heaven of the Tanglin Kingdom, the Tanglin Kingdom has a pleasant climate and rich materials, and it is much more comfortable than the Northern Zhou Dynasty here."

Huyan was relieved when he thought about it. The Northern Zhou Dynasty advocated force, and the status of women was low, and almost all the princesses of the royal family were married to powerful people, so as to encircle ministers and consolidate their status. Even if they are the daughters of the Son of Heaven, their husbands are not in charge of their turns. Some of the sisters of Huyan Light Dance were even married to a bad old man who was over half a hundred years old to continue the strings, in comparison, Huyan Light Dance was the best place to go.

"That's right, this princess is the concubine of His Majesty of the Tanglin Kingdom, and His Majesty is good-looking, but I'm afraid that I will envy my sisters. I'm at ease here, and I don't have to look at my father's face anymore, Your Majesty will ignore me if you ignore me, anyway, I don't have to worry about food and clothing here, let him go. ”

"It's great that the princess thinks so." The maids breathed a sigh of relief.

Protector's Mansion.

"Qin Xu, does that assassin have anything to offer?" Qin Chongzhou asked with a cold look on his face.

"Back to Master Hou, Qin Zhi is still interrogating, and that assassin has a very hard mouth, so he hasn't been able to ask anything yet." Qin Xu's face was also not good.

"What about the troublemakers? Who can tell whom? Qin Chongzhou's face was even colder.

"They said that there was a businessman-like person who gave them money to go to the military camp to make trouble, Qin Zhi had already gone to investigate, and it was estimated that he was looking for a needle in a haystack." Qin Xu saw that Qin Chongzhou's tone was a little colder, and he was faintly sweating, gritting his teeth and replying.

"What about the troupe that was originally going to enter the palace?" Qin Chongzhou pondered for a moment and asked again.

"Back to Master Hou, we found a room of dead bodies in the theater team's residence, all of which were poisoned by arsenic and died, and arsenic was also detected in the wine and food on the table, as for the person who poisoned him, there is no clue."

"So, the surviving Assassin is the only clue?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, it seems that this is indeed the case at present."

"Then pry his mouth open. Let Qin Zhi go, you are too soft-hearted. Qin Chongzhou gave an ultimatum.

"Subordinates obey." Qin Xu sighed silently for the assassin, Qin Zhi's hand did not know the severity, it seemed that he had suffered it.

"Look, Ben Hou enters the palace." Qin Chongzhou said that he was about to go out.

"But Master Hou, it's so late, I'm just afraid that the palace gate will be keyed......" Qin Xu just looked at Qin Chongzhou like this and left without turning a deaf ear.

Also, our Hou Ye is going to enter the palace, what does it matter if the palace gate is keyed......

Palace.

"Who!" Chang Yi was guarding the hall when he suddenly heard a strange movement outside the house, and immediately rushed out. Seeing this, Xiao Lianzi followed closely before his legs were well.

"Chang Guard, it's Ben Hou."

Qin Chongzhou stood outside the hall, looking at Chang Yi with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, of course, the martial arts of the people who stayed by His Majesty's side were good.
