Chapter 20: All or Nothing

"It's an anomaly." Hua Luo couldn't figure out what the empress meant for a while.

Zhan Xing still said his thoughts: "Your Highness, in fact, I think Your Majesty still seems to care about you very much. ”

"No kidding." Hua Luo's tone was mocking, "If she really values me, she won't degrade me to Yanzhou for so many years and ignore it, I can take care of myself, you still protect Xiahou, the third sister is now focusing on Xiahou, he is the most dangerous one." ”

"This ...... Okay, then I'll talk to Lord Xiahou. ”

After speaking, Zhan Xing went to find Xiahou Qian.

The koi pond in the backyard of Tianxianglou, Xia Houqian stood there, the water in the pond was crystal clear, and there were a few live white koi in the pool.

There were two clicks, two clicks, and the pool water in front of Xia Houqian dripped into two drops of bright red blood.

Zhan Xing walked over, glanced at the two drops of blood that had just dripped into the pool and had not completely melted, and then at Xiahou Qian, a little surprised: "Lord Xiahou, why did you have a nosebleed." ”

"Nothing." Xiahou Qian wiped it with a handkerchief.

"Your Highness asked me to tell you, that she doesn't need to be protected by others, let me protect you."

"No, Your Highness doesn't have any cultivation now, and you don't like me to send other people to follow, so you can only let Miss Zhanxing worry more."

After speaking, Xiahou Qian changed his tone: "If Your Highness is really unwilling, Miss Zhanxing can be careful and don't let His Highness find out." ”

Zhan Xing rolled his eyes: "Then my lord is not afraid that His Highness will find out and blame you for making your own decisions?" ”

Xiahou Qian's light-colored eyes reflected the bright fireworks in the distance: "Miss Zhanxing, you and I both know His Highness's temperament, she is just a little difficult to get along with in front of outsiders, once she is divided into her own people, she will not be so unkind." ”

"Besides, even if you punish you, you have to do this, Your Highness is too reckless and doesn't care too much about your own safety."

Zhan Xing let out a long sigh: "Okay, just listen to your lordship, to be honest, I'm quite worried about Your Highness." ”

After a while, Xiahou Qian and Zhan Xing went back together.

"I didn't find any suspicious people, if nothing else, I'll go first."

Hua Luo glanced at the sky outside and was about to leave.

"Wait, Your Highness, the minister is worried that if this continues, the Third Highness will be suspicious, which will affect our plans, in order for the Third Highness to be sure that you can no longer pose any threat to her, the minister thought of a plan."

"What a ploy." Blossom asked.

"If the Third Highness personally sees the body of His Highness and is sure that His Highness is dead, he will believe that the ministers are really leaderless now, and they will not be able to turn over any storms."

"Not bad." Hua Luo nodded, "But the third sister is not so easy to fool, and if she doesn't do it well, it will only be self-defeating." ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister has already thought of a perfect plan."

Xiahou Qian clapped his hands, and a woman in black and a cloak walked in.

Judging from the body shape alone, the woman's figure is similar to that of Hua Luo.

The woman lifted the cloak from her head, revealing a face that looked like a flower in three points.

Hua Luo recognized the woman: "Yun Niang? ”

Yun Niang pounced and knelt in front of Hua Luo, touching the ground with her forehead: "The people's woman Yun Niang sees His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Hua Luo looked at Xia Houqian: "What do you mean by this." ”

"According to the Gu patterns on His Highness's face, the minister found out that His Highness's Gu was in the Gu Sheng, so he sent someone to get rid of this kind of Gu, the original intention was to let the doctors under him study the method of solving the Gu, and I thought it would come in handy now."

Xiahou Qian took out the container filled with Gu: "The minister's plan is to let Yun Niang also fill the Gu as the corpse of His Highness, Yun Niang and His Highness look three points similar, and their body shape is even more similar. ”

"In addition, it has been half a month since His Highness fell into the water, and when the time comes, it will be combined with drugs that will make the corpse worsen, so that it will be completely disfigured, and the Third Highness will definitely believe that Your Highness is dead when he sees this corpse."

Xia Houqian's voice is very good, like a clear spring in the mountains, and like a spring breeze on the river, a very soft voice, even if he says such a thing, it will not make people feel scared at all.

"Xiahou Qian, it seems that you have become more and more fat on weekdays with my reliance on you, and you actually came up with this idea of disregarding people's lives."

Hua Luo rarely called Xiahou Qian by her name, and those who were familiar with her knew that she was angry.

"If you can, the minister doesn't want to, but Your Highness, the current situation does not allow us to make any mistakes."

Yun Niang opened her mouth and said: "Your Highness, don't blame Lord Xiahou, it was the people's women who volunteered, you are desperate this time, if you fail, you will die and have no place to bury." ”

"You are the only crown prince in the minds of our people, there must be no mistakes, if this can dispel the doubts of the third highness and think that you are dead, the people are willing to help your highness."

"Yun Niang, you are alive and well, and you still have a family to take care of, why die for me, my plan may not succeed if you die, and I may not fail if you don't die."

Yun Niang looked at Hua Luo with tears in her eyes: "Does Your Highness remember the drought in Yanzhou three years ago?" At that time, there was no grain harvest, the people were hungry, and the women's family was about to starve to death. ”

"His Royal Highness also personally accommodated the women's family to enter Beijing to treat the child's illness, and the women have always been grateful, and now they finally have the opportunity to repay His Royal Highness the Prince's great kindness, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fulfilled!"

"Uh, you can last a family of five for three days with one ration for one meal?" Zhan Xing glanced at Hua Luo.

"What do you want to say?"

Hua Luo said to Yun Niang: "I understand your kindness, forgive me for not accepting it, you better go." ”

"Your Highness......"

Yun Niang suddenly grabbed the Gu worm in the jar and swallowed it when everyone was not paying attention.

Hua Luo and the others didn't react, and when they reacted, it was too late: "What are you doing." ”

Hua Luo stepped forward and lifted Yun Niang's arm, and a blue-black centipede gradually appeared on Yun Niang's arm at a speed visible to the naked eye, exactly the same as Hua Luo's face.

Probably out of fear of death, Yun Niang's face was full of tears, and her body trembled slightly: "Please, please make it your ......."

After speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his head tilted and he died.

Yun Niang was just an ordinary person with no cultivation qualifications, and she couldn't bear such a domineering Gu poison at all, so she died on the spot.

Hua Luo was silent for a moment, took out a golden seal, and Zhan Xing was the first to recognize it: "Isn't this the crown prince's seal?" What are you? ”

"Put the crown prince seal on Yun Niang."

Zhan Xing immediately understood what Hua Luo meant: "But this corpse was originally for the Third Highness to see, in this way, wouldn't the crown prince's seal fall into the hands of the Third Highness?" ”
