Chapter 12: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
In the main hall of the Dark Pavilion, the four pavilion masters waited silently for the dispatch, not daring to make a sound, and the pavilion masters at this moment, according to their opinion, are not troublesome.
Yechen's cold eyes made the people around him seem to have arrived in a cold ice cave in the ice and snow, and the four hall masters couldn't help but tremble, that ghost place, I don't want to go to this place again, and I don't want to experience it.
Originally, the cold ice cave was used for summer relief, and the immortal was made into training by the ghost girl of Zizhu, and also thought about the day when the cold ice cave was built, the pavilion owner ordered everyone to train for more than a month, and the major tools were made of ice, and the major pavilion owners were frozen half to death, and the beautiful name was refining, and then they were begged by the jade-faced scholar for more than half a month, and they were going to come to be a place of punishment, so they were able to be freed, and they still shuddered when they heard that place, so you can imagine how afraid they are of this ice cave.
And the pavilion master will only be silent when he is extremely angry, this is half a moment of silence before the storm, I am afraid that this time the murderous intent is everywhere, and this Haoyue country will be bloody again.
Three days ago, Yechen sent the intelligence hall to inquire about the news about the mastermind behind the hiring of them to kill Su Luo, today Zishan reported that it was Su Luo's half-brother who killed Su Luo, Yechen became more and more angry, angry that even if Su Luo was imprisoned in the princess's mansion, there were still people assassinated, I am afraid that the emperor would not think that the prince cultivated by himself was the culprit who killed his daughter, and Concubine Chen was just a chess piece in his hand, a scapegoat.
Scold... Prince, no matter who you are, I will tie you up here to find out why you killed your sister, and it will make you regret your thoughts in the first place.
Yechen ordered the four pavilion masters to go out collectively and tie the prince to him, in order to be sure.
The four pavilion masters dispatched, this is the first time in the world, this first time I didn't calculate it for a woman, after all, the pavilion master is not close to women, but in the past few days, the meaning of this woman to the pavilion master is very different.
Yechen had a mind in his heart, pacing back and forth outside Su Luo's courtyard, and did not take a step for a long time, in fact, in a sense, the prince was also her half-brother, and he didn't know if this news was too cruel for her.
"Hey, are you coming in or not coming in." Su Luo has been observing him for a long time, and naturally knows that he should have something to say when he comes to her, but this guy is simply entangled, probably because the things he wants to say are difficult to say, and he has not entered the hospital for a long time, so she can only speak.
Only then did Yechen retract his thoughts and walk into the courtyard to tell her about the results of the investigation in the past few days, including his worries after telling her.
Su Luo had long guessed that Concubine Chen had a mastermind behind her, and she also guessed that it was in the palace, but she didn't expect it to be the prince's brother who had been very good to him since he was a child.
In the princess's mansion, Su Luo was bored, her little hands were bulging into her waist, she didn't understand why she couldn't leave the mansion, why her father and queen mother threw her here, why everyone looked at herself like a plague god.
A weak figure appeared in front of her, still holding a sugar man in his hand, the villain was lifelike, he gave the villain in his hand to Su Luo, and told Su Luo that he was her prince's brother, since then, he was afraid that she would be bored, so he came to visit every day and gave her a sugar man, because he was the prince, and the guards did not dare to stop him, just like that, this prince's brother has been deeply ingrained in Su Luo's heart since then.
Su Luo smiled bitterly, ex, I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought that this prince brother who was so good to you would want to kill you one day.
Seeing Su Luo smiling like this, Yechen couldn't help frowning and feeling distressed, as if he felt Yechen's gaze, Su Luo smiled softly at him, and said "Thank you" from the bottom of his heart.
"Yechen, you don't have to worry about me, and I will interrogate you personally after you catch someone." She will avenge her revenge.
Yechen nodded with a smile, as long as she was happy, everything would be fine.
The next day, the entire Haoyue Kingdom was a sensation, the prince of the Haoyue Kingdom died in the fireworks Willow Lane, naked, multiple wounds, the wounds do not know what insects are all over the body, miserable, so that people can't bear to look at it directly, because the prince often blatantly appears in the Flower Street Willow Lane, the natural identity is difficult for everyone to want to know, but there are officials who know and do not report, but only the emperor was kept in the dark, the emperor was furious when he learned of this, and called it detrimental to the royal face, and it was not a pity to die, and Li Concubine was also grounded in Zhongcui Palace because of negligence.
There are different opinions, and they are all studying the cause of the prince.
"You say, did this prince offend someone? Such a tragic death. ”
"Who knows! Usually bullying and dominating the market, I think it may be a righteous man to get rid of him. ”
"That's reasonable, it's good to get rid of him anyway."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the officers and soldiers are here."
These officers and soldiers naturally took back the prince's body, and it is strange to say that the prince has just died, and the corpse has not yet decomposed, where is the little worm! It all started last night, of course.
In the evening, Su Luo was playing chess with Mint, and Zishan hurried over and asked Su Luo to interrogate.
In the law enforcement hall, the prince was tied to the white jade pillar, and scolded loudly, "How can this be true, my dignified prince, who gave you the guts of the dog, dared to kidnap me, this is the crime of the Nine Clans, acquaintances, let me go back quickly, this prince is not to blame in the past." ”
"Oh? Forgive somebody's past misdeeds? How can you not blame the past? The jade-faced scholar held a folding fan in his hand, and his thin lips opened slightly, this prince was afraid that he didn't know that he was going to die.
"Heh... If you let me go, maybe this prince will reuse you? ”
"Really? Do you know where this is? This is the Dark Pavilion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have heard of the Dark Pavilion, right? All my four pavilion masters have sent out so much effort to tie you up, how could I let you go... If it weren't for the fact that someone was judging you, you would have been a pile of white bones by now, how could you be presumptuous here. After the jade-faced scholar finished speaking, the prince's face turned pale, he didn't expect that the place where he hired the killer in the past had become the place where others killed him, and he couldn't imagine who wanted his life.
Yechen patted Su Luo's shoulder from behind, signaling for him to wait for her outside the museum.
Su Luo smiled evilly, paced in, and waved his hand, and the jade-faced scholar retreated.
"Brother Prince, how are you doing lately?" The ghostly voice exploded in the prince's ears, and the prince, who had originally lowered his head, suddenly raised his head, looking for the source of this strange and familiar sound.
After discovering the source of the voice, the prince's eyes widened in horror, "Su Luo... You... You're not—" Perhaps because he was too frightened, his voice became trembling.
"What am I not? Am I not already dead? Right? Thank you Brother Crown Prince for your concern, thanks to you, I live well! Su Luo was calm with a hint of ghostly spirit.
"It turns out... You're alive? It's so nice, Royal Sister, you know what? When I learned the news of your death, the royal brother was really saddened. There was a trilling voice between the words, and those who didn't know really thought it was a brother and sister relationship.
"You don't have to pretend, I already know some things, you are a vegetarian in this dark pavilion? Say, why kill me? Concubine Chen is just your pawn, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is you. ”
"Die to heart! I won't tell you. The prince's tone was slightly stiff.
Su Luo frowned dissatisfiedly. "You'll tell."
Su Luo took out a jade-colored bottle and played with it in his hand, "Brother Prince, guess what this is?" I'll show you how? The moment he opened the bottle, the prince smelled death and saw an incredible scene, the bottle was filled with red worms, each of which stared at him as if it were his own food.
"I guess you don't know what this is yet? It's a firebug, and as long as it smells of blood, it can't wait to burrow into your skin, a little... A little... Crawling and crawling, gnawing on your flesh little by little, drinking your blood, you will feel the pain of your body being burned and eaten by ants all over your body, it's better to... Let's start by cutting a wound in your skin to feel it, and it just so happens that they are hungry too. Su Luo said that he took the dagger and approached the prince little by little, the prince looked at Su Luo in horror, and his whole body resisted, is this still the same Su Luo before? At this time, she is like a ghost in hell.
"Don't... I say... I said..."The prince was really frightened by Su Luo's expression, and he didn't care about secrecy, he just wanted to save his life at the moment. Su Luo stood with his hands in his hands, ready to listen to the truth that he didn't know anything.
"That's right, it's indeed me, when you were born, you had purple eyes, and you were said to be a demon by the national teacher, so your father imprisoned you in the princess's mansion, do you think they abandoned you? No, we can really be good brothers and sisters, but one day I passed by the Imperial Garden, and happened to hear the conversation between my father and the queen mother, I knew that there was a big secret in you, the national teacher just found a play with the father and the queen mother, the purple eyes are not fake, but the demon is distorted, you were born when the sky rained, it stands to reason that you are an auspicious person, because you were born with a piece of jade in your hand, the national teacher said that the jade is a treasure, and the one who gets the jade and you will win the world, and you are not a demon but the proud daughter of the sky, They are afraid that you are in danger, so they imprisoned you in the princess's mansion, so that everyone thinks that they abandoned you, so that you will not be in danger, I have been in contact with you and I also want that piece of jade, but unfortunately I didn't find it, so I simply want to destroy you if I can't get it, so even if others get the jade, it won't help. ”
"Why are you doing this? You are already the crown prince, and the throne will naturally be yours in the future, why do you believe such absurd statements? ”
"The throne? Hehe, do you really think that the throne will always be mine? You don't know yet, your queen mother is pregnant, if it's a dragon son, I'm afraid the location of the East Palace will not be guaranteed! You saved her life, and if I'm still here, one day, I'll take her life. With that, the prince burst out laughing.
