Not long after Zhao Yuankan and his wife Guo left, more than a dozen night walkers also flashed out of his mansion like ghosts...

In the study of the second prince Zhao Yuanxi, the two brothers sat in the guest of honor.

"Second brother, this time the people of many places have suffered a catastrophe, although it is the misfortune of my Great Song Dynasty, but it is also a great opportunity for you, Second Brother..."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Zhao Yuanxi narrowed his python-like eyes and asked with interest.

"Second brother, to put it in my heart, the court is actually recognized, whether it is Anbang's strategy for governing the country, or his personal literary and martial arts; Second brother, you deserve to be the best candidate to govern the country...! ”

"Eh~ This is a bad statement! Second brother, how can I be? To be so highly praised by you and the princes and ministers of the third brother, I am ashamed to be ashamed.

Second brother, I still have a lot to lose.... In fact, the eldest brother is also very good. Hey, our big brother, it's not easy for him... ”

Zhao Yuankan's words made him very useful.

"But what do you think of the current state of the eldest brother?

How to lead our Great Song in the future!

Father, he~, he's confused! ”

Zhao Yuankan sighed faintly, full of worries about the country and the people!

"Third brother, you are so bold, you dare to be so disrespectful, dare to criticize your father so much...!"

Hearing the third brother's words, Zhao Yuanxi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him from continuing.

"Second brother doesn't have to be like this"!

Zhao Yuankan looked a little excited.

He waved his hand vigorously and continued:

"Second brother! A family doesn't talk about two families, you and I are not siblings but we are like brothers, there is no need to be so hypocritical!

You and I are both smart people, and we know very well: if the eldest brother didn't rely on his status as the eldest son and his early military exploits, how would it be his turn to be the crown prince? ”

Zhao Yuankan's heartfelt words made Zhao Yuanxi fall silent!

"It's okay, all kinds of troubles, don't mention it!

There is wine today, and there is drunkenness today.

Second brother, I have heard for a long time that you have the world's rare wine 'Immortal Jump'.

It's rare to have a long night, and the third brother will be cheeky to ask for a few drinks, you and my brother won't get drunk tonight, how about it? ”

Zhao Yuankan was the first to break the silence.

"Hahaha... Good! I can't ask for it! What a brother is not drunk, comes, prepares wine, prepares food...! ”

Luxurious and full of rich ambiguity In the dormitory, Guo smiled and looked at the scantily dressed, young and beautiful woman in front of him, but with an arrogant and charming atmosphere, and said:

"Look, my sister is the beauty of the country, such a combing powder, even my sister I can't hold it anymore, just ask the world, how many men can not be tempted?

In addition, my sister and I carefully prepared the 'Eight Treasures' for my sister, and you will take it together with your husband to ensure that you two husbands and wives... ”

Guo Shi said halfway, but deliberately leaned on his front ears and sideburns.

Hearing this, Zhang's face was like a scarlet glow.

She hurriedly said shyly:

"Sister, you're so bad! It's a shame....

But sister, are you serious? After you and the third uncle, you will really be pregnant with the little prince soon...? ”

"Of course it's true...!"

Looking at Zhang's delicate but obviously very interested appearance, Guo's eyes flashed with a strange red glow.

She mysteriously approached Zhang's ear, and whispered in a very charming soft voice:

"Come sister, let me teach you, how to make a man completely sink into your gentle township..."

Next to the rosewood table in the study, the two brothers have already drunk three rounds and cooked five flavors.

"Third brother, third brother...?"

Zhao Yuanxi stood up, pushed Zhao Yuankan, who was drunk and lying on the table, and whispered tentatively:

"The third brother is getting up soon, our brothers are talking about not getting drunk.

Right now, it's been a long night, and there's still a lot of wine to drink.

Hey, third brother, are you drunk...! ”

"I—I'm not drunk...!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuankan raised his head in a drunken and misty struggle, and muttered vaguely:

"I'm not drunk..., second brother~, second brother, do you know! Big brother has a secret, hehe, I don't tell him about ordinary people....

Big, big brother, he is afraid of the dark, afraid of ghosts...;

Do you know the secrets of those big civil cases? It's all related to the old department of the second uncle...;

I'll tell you, because in these extinct villages, there are their descendants who live in seclusion...

Second brother~, brother! What about wine? I'm awake... ”

The more Zhao Yuankan spoke, the softer his voice became, and he stopped abruptly while talking, and then lowered his head and fell asleep!

"Second brother, second brother...?"

Zhao Yuanxi tried to call a few more times, and saw that Zhao Yuankan was already drowsy and drunk and couldn't wake up, so he ordered his subordinates to help him to the guest room.

At the right time, someone came to report, the third prince's wife sent someone to investigate, it was very late at night, when would the third prince return home?

Zhao Yuanxi took advantage of the situation to order the people in the palace of the three princes to take over the drunken Zhao Yuankan. After that, he personally sent the couple out of the palace.

Soon after, more than a dozen men in black quietly dispatched from his mansion...

And he couldn't wait to run to Zhang's dormitory.

There, the spring is infinite; There, happy and happy!

Zhao Guangyi closed his eyes alone in the imperial study.

Seeing that the night had passed the third watch, he was still sleepy. He put on his coat again, drank back from the left and right attendants, and walked alone to the remote bamboo forest again.

This is the forbidden place in this royal forbidden palace - a Buddhist hall that he has appointed to be guarded by elite Ouchi masters, and no outsiders are allowed to approach except him - Puji Zhai.

"Your Majesty...!"

"Your Majesty...!"

The masters of Ouchi, who were hidden in the dark, saw the emperor coming here, and they appeared from the shadows one after another, kneeling on the ground, and performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

"No need to be polite, get up."

Zhao Guangyi didn't look at the masters who were kneeling on the ground.

After whispering, he went straight through this phoenix-tailed purple bamboo forest, silent in front of the gate of Pujizhai, and stared at Pujizhai in the courtyard, where the lights had long been extinguished, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

And Gao Qiong, the chief manager of the inner chamberlain, who had been secretly accompanying the guards behind him, quietly appeared, waving his hand to signal the retreat of the masters of the inner house....

That green light, that lonely shadow; Countless nights, all of them are haggard!

The night was destined to be unpeaceful. Born in the emperor's family, every minute of peace is destined to be a luxury!

Zhao Yuanzuo, who is the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, is even more so:

At the age of eight, he went into battle with his uncle and father to kill the enemy and fight in all directions, and he longed for a quiet and peaceful night, so that he could sleep peacefully and happily.

Since the bizarre death of his second uncle Zhao Kuangyin that night, his cousins Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Defang and uncle Zhao Guangmei have also died and mysteriously disappeared one after another.

His father became the emperor of the Great Song Kingdom, and he also became the crown prince of the dynasty.

From that moment on, he felt a deep sense of guilt!

When I closed my eyes, I seemed to see everyone saying that there was no reason in this world. all whispered behind his back that his father was a thief; Calling their father and son inhuman demons.

The feeling grew so strong that he could no longer control his speech and behavior.

Now, he is even more afraid of the dark. I always feel that there are a lot of killers ambushed there, and the ghosts of all those who died in their own hands are hidden; They are ready to assassinate and eat themselves alive!

Today I returned to the Prince's Mansion. After drinking the soothing and soul-nourishing soup boiled by the imperial doctor, Zhao Yuanzuo finally fell asleep in the candlelit dormitory, guarded by several henchmen!

Under the dark of night, two groups of mysterious night walkers sneaked into the prince's mansion one after another....

"Take ~life~!"

"Zhao Yuanzuo, who do you think I am? I died so miserably~! ”

"Your father and son are not human beings, what about Heavenly Justice? What about justice? I can't die wow...! ”

In a drowsy drowsiness, Zhao Yuanzuo suddenly saw:

At some point, the light in the room became dim and flickering.

His henchmen and guards have all been turned into disgusting corpse monsters.

Among this group of monsters, those who know and those who do not know; familiar, unfamiliar; At this moment, all of them are vicious!

"Ah, don't. Go away, go away! ”

'Boom'!

Zhao Yuanzuo pulled out the sharp sword hanging at the head of the bed, and then jumped out of the bed and slashed wildly.

The 'monsters' in the dormitory were quickly killed by him.

But he also knocked over a house full of candlesticks, causing a raging fire.

In the light of the fire, the demons and monsters disappeared.

"Hahaha! It turns out that the monster is afraid of me to kill you! They are more afraid of fire...!

Zhao Yuanzuo became more and more excited. When he rushed out of his dormitory, he saw more 'monsters'.

Oddly enough:

These 'monsters' are very different from the 'monsters' in the suitable dormitory.

Not only are the monsters afraid of him, but they will run around screaming and running around avoiding him.

"Hahaha! It turns out that monsters are also timid and afraid~!

By the way, they're afraid of fire! I'm going to kill you all, I'm going to burn you all... Ahhh ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was completely crazy, he rushed into his courtyard to kill people when he saw them. Not only that, but he also set fire everywhere!

"Husband..."

"Your Highness...!"

His wives and concubines and his henchmen cried out to him in sorrow, in order to awaken his senses.

However, at this time, Zhao Yuanzuo was already like a demon, becoming more and more violent and ferocious.

No matter who approaches, even if it is a wife or concubine, he will not hesitate to kill him.

He is strong in martial arts, and there is no one in the house who is his opponent at all.

In a short time, there were no less than dozens of people who died under his sword.

In a panic, the people in the house screamed and fled to avoid him.

At this time, there were more than a dozen grimaces in black who quietly loomed, constantly waiting for opportunities to assassinate one after another lone people in the prince's mansion.

Until: Several members of the prince's mansion found ropes and long sticks, and waited for the opportunity to attack the prince and tripped and tied them up, and those black-clothed people gave up the attack and quietly retreated.

Not long after this group of black-clothed people disappeared, more than a dozen black-clothed warriors hurriedly evacuated the Prince's Mansion...

Zhao Guangyi was shocked that the sky was already bright.

When he arrived with the support of the Praetorian Guard and the Ouchi guards, there was already a sea of people in front of the Prince's Mansion!

The princes and ministers had already arrived at the scene.

His second and third emperors are busy directing everyone and personally fighting fires and saving people.

The raging fire that ravaged the Prince's Mansion for several hours was finally extinguished.

However, the former magnificent and majestic Prince's Mansion was not spared in this fire and was ruthlessly burned to ruins!

Facing the devastated ruins in front of him, and more than 100 surviving slaves and maids of the Prince's Mansion who were kneeling and trembling at the moment, constantly crying and begging for mercy, Zhao Guangyi's heart was dripping blood.

But when he saw the handsome and mighty Prince of Song who was still handsome and mighty last night, but now he was struggling to be tied up by his subordinates, and his hair was scattered and his face was full of hideousness and fierceness.

Zhao Guangyi was furious. His face was darker than the bottom of the old iron pot that had been used for many years!

The royal authority is high up, and the slightest blasphemy and encroachment will not be tolerated!

"Pray to the saints, the old slave has personally inspected the scene. According to the old slave's many years of experience, many dead bodies at the scene were not killed by the sword of the prince alone. At that time, there should have been a lot of murderers hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to kill! ”

Gao Qiong, the chief of the chamberlain, appeared in front of Zhao Guangyi.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something to report!"

The imperial doctors Zhao Zizheng and Zhao Zihua also knelt down in front of him.

"Speak!"

Zhao Guangyi said gloomily;

"Shicai, my two brothers, used the ancestral poison test treasure for His Royal Highness the Prince-'Snow Seven Treasure Toad' to check, and then tested the poison through the pulse of the dragon needle, and finally found that the prince was hit by a strange poison.

The poison has miraculous effects such as intense excitement and dreaminess; Although this poison cannot kill people immediately, the toxicity of this poison is still domineering and unpredictable!

Because whoever is poisoned by this poison first can't control himself and sinks into all kinds of hyper-delusions and can't extricate himself, until he finally loses his sense of self and becomes a walking corpse!

Right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously poisoned too deeply, and we have no power to return to the sky... ”

"Needless to say...!"

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, his stocky body shook obviously. But he finally straightened his chest and waved his right hand vigorously, signaling the two of them not to say any more.

He once again took a deep look at Zhao Yuanzuo, who was still in a state of madness and rage; Gradually, his gaze changed from soft to cold!

First, he ordered Gao Qiong to whisper and command before he approached, and then ordered to drive back to the palace immediately!

The mighty Royal Guard has returned.

Behind them, the voice of Gao Qiong, the chief of the inner chamberlain, announcing the holy decree on behalf of them, sounded:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said:

The case of the Prince's self-immolation of the Mansion has now been ascertained, and it was the vicious act of unscrupulous servants and domestic slaves in the Prince's Mansion.

This evil deed is indeed a great rebellion, a great evil! The law is unforgivable, and the law is intolerable!

From now on, the crown prince and his family will temporarily settle in the palace. The Prince's Mansion will be rebuilt at a later date.

In view of the fact that a slave in the prince's mansion was murdered by the prince, negligent supervision, dereliction of duty and other crimes were punished together, and the crimes were unforgivable, all of them were sentenced to capital punishment and immediately executed...! ”

Before Gao Qiong's words fell, in the ears of Zhao Guangyi, who was among the dragons, there were countless shouts of grievances, crying and scolding.

Zhao Guangyi also closed his eyes in pain....
