Imperial City, Changle Palace.
Changle Palace, also known as the East Palace, is in the eastern part of the imperial city and is the prince's bedroom.
In the East Palace, there was constant singing and dancing, and the prince was surrounded by dozens of beauties, dreaming of life and death.
After having fun and enjoying all the beauties, he just lazily lay on the bench.
"Aunt Ying, it's been a few days and time is enough, why hasn't the news spread yet?" the prince said.
In the corner, a hot woman in black came out, she leaned gently on the prince's side, sticking to his body.
"Your Highness is really too much. Knowing that I'm coming, you still don't leave me some 'food and grass'."
"I know I was wrong, next time I will definitely fill up the 'stock' and leave it to Aunt Ying."
"Forget it, so as not to let your mother see it again, and blame me for not letting his son go." The woman in black smiled coquettishly.
The two laughed and quarreled for a while, and the prince asked again: "Tell me, why is there no turmoil so far? Fire, it's time to burn."
The woman in black said: "Prince, there is no need to worry. After all, it is a wilderness. It will take some time to spread to Yanlong Ruins and Dajiang King City."
"Are you sure you killed it?"
"I have killed thousands of people. I passed through the heart. I fell to the ground and lost my breath. I couldn't die anymore."
The prince smiled and said: "This is going to be bad for Xiaozhao, Lingxuan is next to him, and the people around Jiang Zizai must know who did it."
"This strategy of two birds with one stone is really good."
As soon as the voice finished speaking, someone suddenly approached and pushed open the door. It was a woman with a phoenix crown, her face was majestic, and she was a bit older. Although her domineering spirit was still there, she was obviously not as good as Concubine Su.
"Mother!" The prince hurriedly straightened his clothes and saluted.
"Xueying, didn't I warn you last time?" That woman was the queen of the Yanlong Emperor, and she stared at the two of them with an ugly expression.
The woman in black hurriedly said: "Sister Yuan, you have misunderstood, I will definitely not do it this time."
The queen ignored her, but came forward to stare at the prince and asked, "Do you know what happened?"
The prince shook his head in astonishment.
The Queen said: "Some time ago, Your Majesty received news that Jiang Yunting's youngest son had been assassinated. At that time, the news had just spread, and all the blame was directed at Princess Shenxiao. However, it should be you who did it!"
The prince smiled and said, "It's still my concubine who understands me. I heard Xiaozhao said that she wanted to kill Jiang Zizai, so I helped her do it."
The queen said angrily: "But I just got the news that Jiang Zizai is not dead at all. He has appeared in Nanling City. Princess Ruohua in Dajiang King City is also quiet, and there is no movement in the Temple of Sacrifice. Killing people, but not killing them all!"
The woman in black next to her was shocked, and said: "Impossible, I have checked the heart with a sword, and even the breath is gone, and the blood is almost flowing clean. With my strength, how can I deal with a profound vein realm?" Error?"
"I knew it was you who did it! Did you make a mistake? If you ask me who should I ask? Jiang Zizai is alive and well."
The prince and the woman in black looked at each other.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The woman in black gritted her teeth.
The prince said: "It seems that Jiang Zizai is very lucky, he is not dead, my plan has not succeeded."
"You still want to succeed? Are you a fool to be the emperor? Let me tell you, he has been at Concubine Su's place for the past few days. Ever since he got the news of Jiang Zizai's death, he hasn't made any movement. Long Zhao went to ask for clarification. No, I don't see any intention of blaming Long Zhao, he knows his precious daughter better than you, let me tell you, he probably guessed that you did it!"
"Impossible!" Crown Prince Long Yun shook his head. He did it perfectly. He said, "Since Jiang Zizai is alive, he must know that it is Xiao Zhao. Next, he may have revenge, and I can stay out of it."
"Silly boy, do you know what the key is? The key is not who the world thinks the murderer is, but your weight in the eyes of your father. If he knows that you did it, he doesn't need evidence at all. In the future, you will only It's getting weaker and weaker."
The queen was really mad.
"According to my estimation, since Jiang Zizai is not dead, this matter will not become a big deal, and the boy will not make this matter public. After all, there is no evidence, and he will even target Xiao Zhao. But what? , I feel that your father will only become more and more disappointed with you. In the past, you were 100% successor, but now it is different. The little girl Long Zhao is such a genius. With this step, you may have lost the initiative! Whatever you do in the future, you have to discuss it with me.”
The prince gritted his teeth. He admitted that what the queen said was reasonable, but he still felt that the Yanlong Emperor could think that he did it by himself. He trusted Xiao Zhao so much? Instead, you look like an outsider
He is not reconciled.
"And you, hurry up, get out as far as you can, so as not to be recognized by others, don't come back and harm my son until the turmoil calms down." The queen angrily scolded the woman in black.
"Understood." The woman in black shook her head helplessly.
"Reflect on yourself. I'm going to test Your Majesty in the next few days. Don't act rashly. Remember to discuss everything with me." The queen left the East Palace after finishing speaking.
The prince fell into deep thought.
"Long Zhao, a girl, hehe..." He couldn't help sneering, he didn't expect that a child with a big fart could compete with him.
"The queen mother said, I have lost the opportunity?" He asked the woman in black.
"Actually, it's a bit exaggerated. I don't think there's much problem with this move. Emperor Yanlong may not be able to think of you." The woman in black curled her lips.
"Since this is the case, we can't wait to die. We must find a way to completely destroy Xiao Zhao, and it needs to be a surefire plan."
"It's hard. After all, His Majesty can see everything clearly."
"There's always a way, it's seamless." He gritted his teeth.
"I'm leaving first, and I'll come back when the storm calms down."
"Don't." The prince pulled her into his arms and said, "Stay with me for the last night."
"Are you okay? Aunt Ying can't handle it casually."
"Dare to underestimate me and make you kneel down and beg for mercy." The prince laughed loudly.
...
……………
The speed of the last day accelerated, and Jiang Zizai recovered a lot. He rode his horse and galloped, and finally returned to his hometown - Dajiangwangcheng when night fell.
It seemed that he knew that he was coming back. The entire Dajiang King City was awake tonight. There were a large number of guards standing on the city walls, and the streets were full of people.
Originally, Jiang Zizai won the first place in the grand event of the six prefectures, and when he returned this day, there must be fireworks in full bloom, but Princess Ruohua stopped it, and now is not the time to celebrate.
"The little prince is back!"
For a moment, the royal city boiled.
The city gate opened, and Jiang Zizai rode on a horse and walked into the Great Jiang King City. Many people looked at him with fiery eyes.
The first place in the grand event of the six provinces!
Dajiang Wangcheng straightened his back again.
"Mother."
Jiang Zizai saw her. At night, she put on a cloak and stood in the wind waiting for him.
All three children are back.
"Lu Yuan." She came over, holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, and placed it beside the ice coffin.
There was water mist in the eye sockets.
"sorry."
Maybe these three words are her mood.
After returning, first arrange Lu Yuan's body, and it will be buried tomorrow in the ancestral mausoleum of the Qilin royal family.
That is the resting place of heroes. Some people objected, but Ruohua suppressed it.
The Yanlong Emperor agreed to a generous burial, so it was not their turn to speak.
In the mansion of Prince Dajiang.
"Mother, this is Princess Lingxuan." Jiang Yuning introduced to Princess Ruohua.
Ruohua then smiled slightly, looking at the girl who was about to become his daughter-in-law.
