"That'...... We will give this witness to your father, the Emperor, so that he can dispose of it. Wu Zhaoyi said anxiously again.

"Give it to my father? Just the words of one of my staff? Do you think my father thinks I'm trying to frame the crown prince? ”

The fifth prince saw that his mother was really flustered, and actually said such unreliable words.

Wu Zhaoyi also smiled bitterly.

Yes, Xiao Wu participated in the assassination of the prince before all.

There is no clear evidence for that, though. However, Emperor Qingping was also suspicious in his heart, right?

Otherwise, why is it reprimanding Xiao Wu and the Xiao Wu faction? Even, it was suppressed.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"How? Naturally, it will be calculated. Since I have no hope for the throne, it is enough to save this life. As long as he does not ascend to the throne, the person who will ascend the throne in the future must also let me live for the sake of fame and filial piety. Hehe, how to live is not alive? ”

The five princes made up their minds to break the boat.

Anyway, sooner or later, you have to fail, so let's fight it.

The winter solstice on the 21st of Qingping is November 20th.

The emperor needs to go to the heavens on the day of the winter solstice.

In previous years, Emperor Qingping went out of the city to worship at Taiping Mountain, which was hundreds of miles away on the outskirts of Beijing.

But at the beginning of November this year, Emperor Qingping was sick in bed because of the cold.

Worshipping the heavens is a big deal.

However, even if Emperor Qingping's wind and cold are good, he can't be tired of running hundreds of miles.

Since Emperor Qingping can't go, he can only let the prince go to worship for his father.

Since the crown prince saw that Emperor Qingping was sick, he had vaguely guessed this result.

Therefore, in mid-November, when Emperor Qingping told him, he gladly accepted it.

On November 19, the prince went to live in the national temple 'Xiangguo Temple' at the foot of Taiping Mountain.

Early in the morning of the second day, according to the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, the process of worshipping the heavens was completed.

After the sacrifice, everyone arranged for the subordinates to pack their bags in Xiangguo Temple and prepare to return to the capital the next day.

As a result, he was summoned by the prince.

In order to show filial piety, the prince had to bathe and fast in Xiangguo Temple for three days and pray for Emperor Qingping.

After hearing this, everyone praised the prince's benevolence and filial piety.

And Xiao Muze and Xiao Qiyu, who were sitting at the bottom, had surprise flashing in their eyes, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.

Everyone in the hall was still praising the prince, and many people even expressed their willingness to stay and accompany the prince.

As a result, he was politely rejected by the prince one by one.

Xiao Qiyu followed the crowd and said a few words that he was willing to accompany. As a result, it was not surprising that it was also rejected by the crown prince.

After Xiao Qiyu was rejected, he no longer insisted.

And when the ministers saw that the prince's own brother was rejected, they were naturally so interested that they no longer said that they wanted to accompany him.

Finally, the prince sent a message for everyone to go back and continue to pack their bags.

Xiao Qiyu left expressionlessly. Seeing this, Xiao Muze followed closely.

And just as the prince finished fasting and was on his way back to Beijing, he was assassinated again!

The assassination of the crown prince this time is different from the last time.

Last time, because of Ling Yi's sword, the prince was just frightened. This time, the crown prince was seriously injured and his life was in danger.

When the news reached the various mansions in the capital, everyone was in an uproar and had mixed reactions.

"Why was the prince assassinated again? Or did the Five Princes do it? ”

In the War King's Mansion, Liu Xinning was checking the form of gift-giving with Chun Nuan.

As a result, Xiao Muze walked in.

After he waved everyone back, he asked Chun Nuan to guard the door before telling Liu Xinning about it.

"Yes and no." Xiao Muze's face was pale.

However, Liu Xinning felt the complexity in his heart.

"Alright. What else do you have to do with me? Liu Xinning asked with some eagerness.

This time the prince was actually seriously injured? Is this assassin even more powerful than the last assassin?

"This assassination was planned by the prince himself. The purpose is to completely eradicate the five princes. It's just that he took it for granted, and was really assassinated by the five princes. ”

"......" Liu Xinning was a little speechless.

"The crown prince is in a good situation now, why should he do anything more?"

"That's naturally Madame's way of treating others the way of others. I heard that the five princes found a lot of chess pieces. Some of them were put by other princes before. It's just that the five princes put them all on the crown prince. Therefore, the fifth prince thought that the crown prince had stopped giving him a way to live, so he simply killed him. ”

Xiao Muze explained carefully.

Liu Xinning listened to Xiao Muze's persuasion and didn't dare to make a big move.

After all, the crown prince is still the prince now. If she is a little careless, it is not only her Liu Xinning herself who is affected.

Therefore, she mainly released news to the outside world.

As a result, the fifth prince believed it, went to check, and thought that the prince would not give him a way to live.

And what about the crown prince?

He's acting a little radical and ruthless now. I even feel that only when the opponent is completely trampled on the soles of his feet can he rest assured.

Therefore, after the prince learned that he was going to sacrifice for his father, he arranged the long-planned assassination plan at this time period.

And the five princes took advantage of the chaos to add their own manpower and kill the prince with all their might.

Now, the five princes have succeeded.

"You came back early, and you didn't go all the way with the prince...... You guys already knew that something was wrong? ”

When Liu Xinning heard this, she couldn't help but interject.

"Yes." Xiao Muze said in a deep voice.

He didn't continue, but Liu Xinning understood what he meant.

The prince must have chilled their hearts when he treated her and Xiao Qiyu like that before, right?

"We all have some guesses. However, this time we are just watching from the wall. Xiao Muze's voice was cold.

On that day, when they heard that the prince wanted to stay and pray for blessings, they felt that it was not right.

Because, the prince wants to pray for blessings, and even Xiao Qiyu doesn't know. It's a good thing to pray for blessings, but it's so secretive?

Well, pray for blessings.

However, even if the prince prays for blessings, it is normal to be accompanied by officials.

As a result, the crown prince drove everyone away, leaving only the people of the East Palace?

That means there's really a problem.

However, Xiao Qiyu left first indifferently, and he followed.

Later, the crown prince was assassinated and his life was in danger.

Some of the staff around the prince may know that the prince's life is hopeless.

Therefore, they secretly ran to surrender to Xiao Qiyu and told these inside stories.

See, this is how people in the world seek advantage and avoid disadvantage.

That's why the prince is so wary of Xiao Qiyu, right?

However, the world's pursuit of advantages and avoiding disadvantages is not caused by Xiao Qiyu.

For the sake of unknown possibilities, take the lead in hurting loved ones.

In the position of the crown prince, it cannot be said that he has done something wrong. However, in the end, it is also ruthless by nature.

Now, I only hope that Xiao Qiyu really doesn't forget his original intention and doesn't become ruthless and unrighteous.
