Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Little Prince

Outside the Jiaofang Hall of Changle Palace, Deng Guanghan leaned on the pillar to probe his brain, and when he saw Da Changqiu coming out, he kept beckoning him and calling him over.

Da Changqiu didn't know what to call him, and he looked ignorant. Deng Guanghan leaned into his ear and muttered a few words. Da Changqiu's face changed suddenly, he looked around in a panic, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, he led Deng Guanghan into an empty room and hurriedly walked towards the Jiaofang Palace. After only walking a few steps, he felt that someone was calling him again, and when he looked back, he saw Deng Guanghan with his hands on his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Don't let the queen know." โ€

After a while, Da Changqiu came out of the Jiaofang Hall with a green-clothed palace maid and went straight to the hut where Deng Guanghan was hiding. This palace maid's name is Luluo, and she is the female imperial chief next to Queen Huo.

After the two entered the house, Deng Guanghan peeked out before gently closing the door.

Da Changqiu and Luluo knew that Deng Guanghan must have something important, and if he was so sneaky, then it must be a matter of urgency, so they couldn't help but get nervous, and their faces turned pale.

Deng Guanghan saw that they were nervous, and originally wanted to comfort them, but he couldn't help but get nervous after thinking about how to say it. The three of them sat on their knees, staring at each other with wide eyes, snorting and panting. After a while, Da Changqiu calmed down first and said, "Deng Weiwei, just say it." โ€

Deng Guanghan secretly screamed ashamed, thinking that he was also a person who had experienced the world, how could he be so panicked, so he calmed down and said slowly: "The general trusted the two of you very much during his lifetime and asked you to serve the queen. After the general, the Huo family still regards you as cronies, and the queen is also very kind to you. Pothos, you said yes. โ€

The pothos was still aware of the wood, and Da Changqiu gently poked her with her elbow, signaling her to hurry up and make a statement, and she came to her senses and said, "Serving the queen is my blessing." Huo Fu'en is as heavy as a mountain, and we can't repay it. โ€

Deng Guanghan waved his hand and said, "You are loyal, the queen and the Huo family both know." Now that the queen and the Huo family are in crisis, this matter still needs to be resolved by the two of you. โ€

"What's the matter?" Pothos was inexplicably nervous and blurted out.

"The prince's business." Deng Guanghan was already calm, and slowly finished saying this, his eyes were blazing, staring at the pothos.

Da Changqiu and Luluo heard him say that it was the matter of the little prince, and knew that the Huo family was going to send them, but they couldn't guess what they were going to do, and they were worried. The pothos bit her lip, forced herself to calm down, and said, "You can say it." โ€

Deng Guanghan said: "The queen has not yet given birth to a prince, and the emperor actually set up Liu Zheng as the crown prince, which is obviously to get along with our Huo family." โ€

Da Changqiu nodded, and seeing that the pothos did not react, he gently poked her with his elbow again. The pothos understood and nodded.

"You think, the emperor didn't wait for the queen to give birth to the prince, so he made Liu Zheng the crown prince, and handed Liu Zheng over to Wang Jieyu to raise, how could this little prince be close to the queen. When he ascends the throne in the future, how can he take care of the Huo family. โ€

Da Changqiu and Pothos nodded.

"So, we must get rid of the prince."

"Get rid of the prince?" The pothos jumped up with a scream. Elder Da Changqiu opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, but his body shook.

"Sit down, sit down." Deng Guanghan waved his hand again and again. The pothos knew that she was out of shape and sat down with her head down.

"Yes, get rid of the prince. Got rid of the crown prince, then, once the queen gave birth to the prince, she must be the crown prince, the future emperor. Deng Guanghan said and said, dizzy for no reason.

He closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his voice and said, "You are the closest people to the queen, you are glorious and rich, and you naturally enjoy endless enjoyment." โ€

When the matter was said, Da Changqiu and Luluo also calmed down a little, but when they thought of murdering the prince, Luluo was still nervous, her lips trembled, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Deng Guanghan comforted: "Don't be afraid, when Queen Xu died, some people said that the female doctor poisoned her, didn't she not investigate?" Cheng Jun also became the queen. โ€

Da Changqiu and Pothos glanced at each other. Da Changqiu took a deep breath, supported the ground with both hands, bowed down and raised his head, and said solemnly: "You say, how to get rid of the little prince." โ€

Deng Guanghan said: "This matter depends on the two of you." You know the whereabouts of the prince, when and where you can start, you still have to make up your mind. However, it was like an accident,"

Da Changqiu and Luluo felt that their fate was tied to the Huo family, and there was no other way out, so they accepted the reality that the Huo family wanted them to murder the prince.

The green pothos thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "I have an idea." Deng Guanghan and Da Changqiu asked eagerly: "What way?" โ€

Lu Pothos said: "After the death of Queen Xu, His Majesty handed over the little prince Liu Zheng to Wang Jieyu to raise. The little prince is lively and active, often going to the back garden to play, especially like to swing. Now the swing in the back garden has become his plaything,"

"So what?"

"We can do our hands and feet on the swing and cut the swing rope into a broken one. The little prince went to play on the swing, and after swinging, it didn't take a few strokes for the rope to break, and the man flew out, not to his death, but to his death. โ€

"Good idea." Deng Guanghan couldn't help but applaud and said, "That's it." However, you must be careful not to leave any flaws. โ€

"Don't worry, we can do it seamlessly." Da Changqiu interjected. It was all green pothos just now that he also wanted to show a sense of participation in front of Deng Guanghan.

"Okay, I'll just wait for the good news. But what if someone else goes on the swing first? Deng Guanghan was still not at ease, and thought of another question.

"No, everyone in the palace knows that the little prince likes to swing, so no one else is allowed to go up and play. This swing can only be played by the little prince alone. โ€

"That's great, that's it." Deng Guanghan slapped his thighs with both hands and said happily.

The back garden of Changle Palace.

Da Changqiu and Luluo peeked around, saw that there was no one, and quietly walked to the swing frame. Green Pothos took out a knife from his sleeve, Da Changqiu was shocked, and shouted softly: "What are you going to do?" โ€

"Cut the rope of the swing." Pothos held the knife and looked puzzled, not understanding why he asked.

"You can't cut it with a knife, so it will be seen that someone is deliberately sabotage, and it will be troublesome to trace."

"What then?"

"Grinding with stone chips, it looks like it has been eroded over time." Great Changqiu Road.

The pothos stuck out her tongue and said, "Da Changqiu thinks about it. โ€

The two approached the swing, Da Changqiu pretended to look at the scenery, looked around, and there was no one around, so he made a look at the pothos.

The pothos understood, nodded, picked up a piece of stone with a sharp edge from the ground, slowly approached the swing, blocked the swing rope sideways, and cut the stone chip in his hand. The rope kept shaking, and it didn't use any force. She grabbed the rope with one hand and cut it with the other.

Da Changqiu inadvertently turned around, and was startled when he saw the action of the pothos, and hurriedly went over and whispered, "Stop." โ€

Pothos looked at him with wide eyes, hesitantly stopped, and a puzzled look appeared on her face.

Da Changqiu glanced around with fear, only to hear the rustle of the wind blowing through the bushes, and there was no one in sight, so he breathed a sigh of relief and reproached: "If you see this kind of action by others, you know that you are cutting the rope and don't want to live." โ€

Only then did the pothos come to her senses, and she was afraid when she thought about it, so she covered her chest and was stunned for a while.

Da Changqiu looked around the swing frame and had an idea: "You stand on the pedal of the swing, the swing is hard, the swing rope will be straightened, and then hold the swing rope with your hand and cut it quietly with a stone chip." To others, you are playing on the swing with both hands on the swing rope. โ€

The green pothos stood on the swing pedal according to the words, took the stone chip and cut it slowly, and sure enough, he smiled unconsciously, while gently shaking the swing, while cutting the rope vigorously.

The two were smug, and suddenly heard someone talking not far away, and then a woman shouted anxiously: "Don't run, don't run, slow down, be careful of falling." โ€

Before the two could react, a little boy with beautiful eyebrows had already run to them, and when he spotted them, he stopped, and looked at them curiously with dark eyes, followed by a dignified-looking young woman dressed in a dark coat.
