Chapter Forty-Nine: Fan Spirit
In Yonghua Palace, Concubine Rong took out the phantom fan, she cut her arm with half a broken bowl, and the blood on her arm dripped on the handle of the fan, and it didn't take long for a fan spirit to float out of the handle of the fan, and a little girl with purple hair stood on the fan.
"Master, do you need help from Phantom?" said the little girl, standing on the fan.
Concubine Rong leaned in front of the little girl and said, "Wu Changjun is a witness to Ma You's death, I need him to tell the truth, and I also need him to accuse the prince." ”
"Okay master, then master is going to bring him to Phantom. ”
"Good. ”
"Come, go to the palace and ask for an offshore, and say that the palace wants to see him. ”
Concubine Rong bet that the prince would not let a person from the shore enter the palace, he had palpitations about the last time, and he would inevitably send someone to protect the offshore, and in the palace, the best guard was Wu Changjun, so Concubine Rong achieved the goal of letting Wu Changjun come to Yonghua Palace.
However, after a while, Offshore did take Wu Changjun to Yonghua Palace, and Wu Changjun stood behind Offshore and looked at Concubine Rong with a wary expression.
Concubine Rong picked out a few pieces of jewelry and some supplements from her bedroom and asked her servants to hand them offshore.
"This is what the emperor rewarded the princess, the palace just left in a hurry, and forgot it in the palace, so I called you to take it back, please go back and let the princess not blame the palace, and these ejiao are all supplements given by the emperor to the palace, and the palace can't use it, you bring it back to your sister." ”
"Thank you, mother. Offshore said and accepted the things, he didn't expect Concubine Rong to be so polite, maybe she wanted to open it herself? Anyway, seeing her reconcile with her sister is already very happy as a younger brother.
"Offshore. Concubine Rong said and walked to the side of the shore, Wu Changjun also took a step forward and walked closer to the shore, at this time there was only one offshore between Concubine Rong and Wu Changjun.
"The last incident made you suffer, and the emperor was very upset, don't blame him.
Offshore listened to Concubine Rong's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, "Weichen doesn't dare, thank you for the emperor's concern." ”
"It's okay, get up quickly. Concubine Rong stretched out her hand and motioned to get up, and at this moment, the phantom hidden in the cuffs turned into a transparent shape and jumped on Wu Changjun at once.
She turned her head and smiled evilly at Concubine Rong.
Wu Changjun only felt a chill on his back, but after a while, it returned to normal, and he strangely touched his back with his hand, but there was nothing.
The prince specially explained to Wu Changjun and asked him to be wary of Concubine Rong, so from the moment he stepped into Yonghua Palace, he took every step very carefully, but Concubine Rong didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, she just gave a few gifts offshore, and didn't say anything else.
"Could it be that the treasure really wasn't taken by her?" Wu Changjun said suspiciously on the way out of the palace, he didn't know that at this time, on his back, the fan spirit was already lurking in his body.
"Could it be the crown prince?" said Offshore in the same confusion, perhaps they were really wrong to blame Concubine Rong.
The two returned to the palace in confusion, and everyone in the palace was also puzzled by Concubine Rong's behavior, "Could it be that she has changed her ways?"
"Impossible, this demon girl must be trying to figure out how to calculate the palace again. After Li Qing finished speaking, he pulled the shore to look left and right, "An'er, do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
"No, sister......" Offshore took Liqing's hand and said, "Maybe Concubine Rong has figured it out by herself, sister, you have to let yourself go." ”
"Impossible!" Liqing shook off his hand and went back to his room alone.
On the second day, the palace was suddenly surrounded by two groups of soldiers, led by Master Li, an official of the Ministry of War.
"Come on, arrest Wu Changjun!"
"Dare to ask Lord Li, what crime did Changjun commit?" the prince asked.
"Someone is secretly playing that he is the murderer of Master Ma Youma. Master Li said.
The prince was shocked when he heard this, this matter was very secretive, how could it be leaked out, could it be the Thousand Shadow Gate? But the Thousand Shadow Gate has always abided by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and will never leak this matter.
"I heard that Lord Ma was killed in the southwest, but Changjun has never been to the southwest region, how can he kill people, but my lord is mistaken?" asked the prince sharply.
Lord Li listened to the words of the prince and clasped his fists with his hands, "The prince is angry, it is the emperor's will, and the micro-ministers are only ordered to do things, and the prince is also asked to be sympathetic to the micro-ministers." ”
"So, Lord Li, but there is an emperor's decree?" The prince expected that the emperor would not issue an edict without evidence.
"This ...... , is the emperor's dictation. ”
"Then how do you know that it is not an adult's false oracle?"
"Wechen didn't dare to ......" The two sides were at a stalemate at the gate of the palace.
The prince thought about it, such a stalemate is not a way, if the emperor knows, it will inevitably provoke Long Yan to be angry, and he needs to find a reason to send him away.
"Otherwise, Master Li, I will let Changjun come out, and you can ask him face to face. The prince said and motioned to his subordinates to lead the long army.
Lord Li looked at the prince helplessly, asking like this is like not asking, Wu Changjun will definitely not admit it, but the prince refuses to let go, and he can't force his way into the palace.
But after a while, Wu Changjun came to the prince.
"Lord Wang. Wu Changjun knelt directly in front of the prince.
"Master Li has something to ask you, just tell the truth. ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
Master Li was helpless and could only ask at the door.
"Could the death of Lord Ma Youma have something to do with you?"
Everyone stared at Wu Changjun tightly, but the prince was very relaxed, what to say, what not to say, how to say, he believed that Changjun knew very well in his heart.
Wu Changjun knelt in front of the prince for a long time before slowly raising his head and looking at Lord Li, "Yes!"
Everyone in the palace was speechless in surprise, and the prince was also very shocked.
"Wu Changjun, you can think clearly before answering!" the prince shouted.
I saw Wu Changjun's expression sluggish, and his eyes were sloppy and he repeated, "Yes." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Li Qing stepped forward and knocked him to the ground.
"Someone, escort Wu Changjun away. ”
said that it was too late, the prince took out the long sword in Lu Yan's waist and stabbed Wu Changjun's chest at once, Wu Changjun spit out a mouthful of blood, and the fan spirit attached to his body disappeared immediately, Wu Changjun, who had come to his senses, looked at the long sword inserted in his chest in surprise, and the prince was holding the hilt of the sword and looked at himself fiercely.
"Lord Wang...... Why ?......," he said, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
From the beginning of his entry into the palace, he was born and died for the palace, he did many bad things, but he had no regrets, he thanked the prince for his trust and cultivation, but he didn't expect that he would eventually die in the hands of the prince, he didn't know what happened, the prince looked at him without a trace of regret and hesitation, he only remembered that he was taken to the door by the people of the palace, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was sleepy, and then opened his eyes but it was already this picture.
Wu Changjun held the sword with both hands, pulled the long sword out of his chest, and the blood in his chest gushed out instantly, he covered his chest with one hand, and returned the sword to the prince with the other.
"Lord Wang......" he shouted with difficulty, and then fell to the ground at once.
The prince looked at him, his expression seemed unbearable, but he couldn't let them take him away alive, he knew too many secrets of the palace, as well as Ma You's affairs, if he couldn't bear it, the palace would summon a monstrous disaster, so he had to die.
Master Li walked up to Wu Changjun and reached out to probe, he was no longer breathing.
"The discipline in the palace is not strict, and there are such chaotic ministers and thieves, which makes Lord Li laugh. The prince wiped the blood splashed on his hands with a handkerchief and said.
"Lord Wang...... If the emperor blames it......"
"Naturally, it is borne by my royal palace, and it has nothing to do with Lord Li. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang. Master Li said that he left with the soldiers, Wu Changjun was dead, and he could only go back to the emperor first.
And on the way back to the palace, the sword spirit in the Yonghua Palace had already returned to the phantom fan, "Master, Wu Changjun has said as you requested, but the prince seems to have killed him." ”
"What?" Concubine Rong flipped over the things on the table at once.
"He dared to kill someone in front of Lord Li?!"
She took so much effort, Wu Changjun actually died like this, can't it be just like that, Concubine Rong said and hurried to the emperor.
As soon as Concubine Rong walked outside the emperor's study, she saw Master Li who came to report in a hurry.
"Concubine Rong's mother......" Lord Li walked into the study after saluting, this time the study was unusually quiet, until Lord Li walked out of the study, Concubine Rong did not hear the emperor's roar.
She looked at Lord Li's back in surprise, could it be that the emperor just forgot it?
Concubine Rong walked into the study suspiciously, the emperor was practicing calligraphy at the desk, he saw her and beckoned her to come over.
"Come, I'll teach you how to practice calligraphy. ”
Concubine Rong held the brush and watched absentmindedly as the emperor taught her.
"What does Rong Er think of the prince?" the emperor asked while holding Concubine Rong's hand.
"Lord Wang, he is talented, so he is naturally good. ”
"Do all the ministers of the DPRK and China think so?"
"There are ministers in the court who admire the prince. ”
"Oh......"
"What about Lifeng?"
"General Lifeng, brave and martial, it is said that the army is united, invincible, and also quite prestigious in the court. ”
"The upper and lower hearts are ......," the emperor said, and wrote a few big characters of the upper and lower hearts.
"It seems that the prince and the prince are very popular. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
"Rong'er will go back to Yonghua Palace first, I still have some things to deal with. After speaking, the emperor left the study first.
Concubine Rong stood alone in the study, she quietly looked at the four big characters on the table, up and down, although the emperor's expression was flat, she knew that his heart had moved to kill.
It seems that Wu Changjun did not die in vain today, his death made the emperor see the arrogance of the prince, and he didn't even put the emperor in his eyes.
And in the palace, the prince sat in the lobby and looked at Wu Changjun's corpse with a solemn expression, his behavior today was really abnormal, thinking of his previous behavior from the shore, Wu Changjun was afraid that he had been tricked by illusion today, but the situation was urgent at that time, and he didn't have time to think so much.
Wu Changjun from yesterday to today, except for the people in the palace, he has only seen Concubine Rong alone, it seems that this illusion is indeed performed by Concubine Rong, but listening to the whole process of entering Yonghua Palace, he really can't figure out how this illusion is cast.
"Go and invite the disciples of the Azure Sect to ......"
