Wang Xing took the order to retreat, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stared at the Qinghe Palace, after a while, Wang Xing had already led the people outside the gate of the Palace and stopped the coffin bearers.
King Qinghe was being grounded, even though he really wanted to give his loved one a perfect funeral, but after all, he had more energy than he wanted, and the funeral procession was a bit shabby.
Although the emperor agreed to King Qinghe's holding a funeral for Sun Ziyun, no matter whether it was the coffin bearers or the funeral people, they were arranged separately, and none of the people in Qinghe Palace could get out.
Wang Xing led people to stop in front of the funeral procession, the leader raised his hand and ordered the procession behind to stop, then saluted Wang Xing and said.
"My lord, what orders do you have?"
The leader looks very ordinary, with a simple temperament on his body, he looks very honest and honest.
The funeral procession is basically composed of simple people like this. They are specialized mourners. If the families who do the funeral are weak and unable to support the funeral, they will invite special mourners to make arrangements so that the deceased will not be able to leave. Too deserted.
Mourners are basically used to this kind of work, coffin bearers, guides, and weeping spirits are all available.
Wang Xing was wearing an official uniform, and the guards behind him were also armed with swords and swords. The leader naturally saluted respectfully and greeted him.
There is no problem from their appearance, but since His Royal Highness has explained, Wang Xing will naturally not doubt anything, he nodded towards the other party, and said with a serious face: "Our master has an order to open the coffin Inspection, please cooperate one or two."
Hearing the words, the leader's face immediately changed. He immediately knelt down to Wang Xing and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, you must not open the coffin for inspection. The dead are the most important, my lord~~"
In this era, the dead are indeed respected, especially the dead who have already been buried in the coffin. Opening the coffin is undoubtedly a blasphemy to the dead. How can the leader let Wang Xing open the coffin? So he kowtowed to the other party again and again, begging the other party to give up this plan.
However, since Wang Xing had already received His Royal Highness's order, he naturally would not change his mind just because of his one or two words, and raised his hand to signal the guards behind him to step forward and take all the mourners aside.
They dared not speak out, and the leader wanted to cry, but Wang Xing shot him with a slash, and he fell silent in an instant.
Before opening the coffin, Wang Xing went around the coffin to check it, and soon found out the problem, a stern look flashed in his eyes, he slapped down, and directly lifted the coffin lid to the side.
Originally, the guards were secretly muttering because of Wang Xing's behavior of opening the coffin, but seeing this situation, they immediately understood.
You must know that after the coffin is buried, in order to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from damaging the coffin, the lid of the coffin must be nailed tightly, and it is impossible for idlers to open the coffin easily, but now Wang Xing lifted the lid of the coffin with just one palm, and lo and behold Those wedges scattered on the ground were found to be much shorter than ordinary wedges.
Lying in the coffin was Sun Ziyun. She had been dead for seven or eight days. Even in winter, she had been dead for a long time and her face was not good-looking. , the makeup looks very weird.
Wang Xing glanced at it and felt something was wrong.
The coffin was actually very deep, but the height at which Sun Ziyun was lying was a bit wrong, as if there was another layer underneath...
After discovering this, Wang Xing said decisively, "Get out Sun Ziyun's body."
The guards didn't say much, and quickly got Sun Ziyun's body out of the coffin, and then lifted the brocade quilt underneath, and saw a man in brocade clothes lying underneath.
As expected by His Royal Highness, there was indeed something wrong with the coffin. King Qinghe hid in the coffin, and escaped from the palace by such means.
Unfortunately, His Royal Highness discovered the problem—when he was upstairs just now, His Royal Highness said that the coffin-carriers looked a little wrong, and the weight of the coffin seemed wrong, so Wang Xing came down to open the coffin. The coffin is out.
If it wasn't for His Highness the Crown Prince's objection, King Qinghe might have taken the opportunity to escape. After all, who would have thought that a dignified prince would escape lying in a coffin pretending to be dead
King Qinghe in the coffin seemed to have taken special medicine and was still in a coma at this time. Wang Xing asked the guards to get the unconscious King Qinghe out, and then put Sun Ziyun's body into the coffin.
However, because of such a toss, black and red blood flowed from Sun Ziyun's eyes, ears, nose, and nose. After seeing this scene, Wang Xing waved his hand, and the mourners carried the coffin and corpse back to Qinghe Palace.
After seeing this scene, the guards surrounding Qinghe Palace were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.
King Qinghe actually ran out under their noses. If Wang Xing hadn't discovered the problem with the coffin, they would all be implicated.
When Wang Xing and the others entered the mansion, they found that there was a man who was 80% similar to him living in King Qinghe's courtyard. If they didn't pay attention, they might think that this person was King Qinghe.
If it is said that King Qinghe was taken out in a coffin while fainting, it may be said that someone framed him, but now there is clearly another person who is somewhat similar to him living in King Qinghe's courtyard, which cannot be justified anyway.
So far, the truth of the matter is almost clear. It is obvious that King Qinghe wanted to take advantage of Sun Ziyun's funeral to escape. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't been wise, King Qinghe might really have escaped this time.
After Wang Xing controlled the scene, he immediately sent someone to inform His Royal Highness what happened in Qinghe Palace.
After knowing what King Qinghe had done, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not surprised. After all, he had guessed before that with King Qinghe's character, he would definitely not be caught without a fight.
Sun Ziyun was only fourteen years old this year. He had been healthy and healthy before, so how could he suddenly die suddenly? This timing was too coincidental, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not show up, but instead sent someone with his assistant to check on Sun Ziyun's body.
There must be something strange about Sun Ziyun's death.
King Qinghe originally thought that his plan was flawless, but he did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince had doubted him long ago. He took the medicine that could make him sleepy, and lay in the coffin, thinking that when he opened his eyes, When he opened his eyes, he was able to escape, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in Qinghe Palace.
What happened
No matter how powerful King Rao Shi Qinghe's scheming methods were, he was still flustered when he found that things were not going as he thought.
How could this be
But what was even worse was that when King Qinghe woke up, he found that all the servants serving in his room had been replaced by unfamiliar faces. Not only that, there were layers of guards guarding outside his bedroom, and the long swords held by those guards were shining brightly. Surprisingly, King Qinghe saw the murderous aura on those guards with just one glance.
Has what he did come to light
Just when King Qinghe was in a panic, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and all the servants standing beside him saluted the visitor, but when King Qinghe looked over, he found that the person standing there The person turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince.
His Royal Highness
King Qinghe's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at His Royal Highness's legs, and saw that he was standing there without any help from anyone, and he didn't look like he was injured at all. appearance.
In a blink of an eye, King Qinghe suddenly understood, his eyes widened in shock, and he blurted out.
"Your leg isn't hurt?"
At this moment, many things from before were connected together, and the blood on King Qinghe's face faded away. He looked at His Highness the Crown Prince in disbelief, his mouth opened and closed, and he was unable to speak for a long time.
If His Royal Highness' leg is not injured, doesn't it mean that everything he did before was useless? In fact, all his actions are in the schemes of His Highness the Crown Prince. He thought that he was the one behind the scenes who calculated everything, but in fact he was just a pawn on the chessboard of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Seeing the unbelievable expression on King Qinghe's face, His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything. He walked towards King Qinghe slowly. Sitting there, he looked at King Qinghe who seemed to have been completely drained of energy.
"Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to do so many things without Bengong's knowledge, but Bengong underestimated you."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke these words as if gossiping, even with a hint of emotion in his tone.
In fact, at the very beginning, His Highness the Crown Prince never doubted King Qinghe at all. His acting skills were simply superb, and his superb acting skills deceived His Highness, making His Highness think that he was really a person who cared for his brother wholeheartedly.
At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince focused all his attention on King Huainan and King Ruyang, and those two people were jumping up and down all the time, fighting for power. Only King Qinghe would go to the palace every day, either to accompany the emperor, or Guarding His Highness the Crown Prince outside the East Palace, everything he did seemed to indicate that King Qinghe was the most innocent and harmless person in the entire palace.
If it wasn't because Qi Wang found out that there was something wrong with the lucky bag given to him by King Qinghe that day, I'm afraid he would still believe in King Qinghe as always, and then lose his mind step by step in his calculations and become a complete lunatic.
At that time, His Royal Highness's leg was still injured, King Huainan and King Ruyang had completely regarded him as a useless person, and didn't pay much attention to him, only King Qinghe kept testing him.
Thinking about it now, King Qinghe probably didn't believe that His Highness the Crown Prince's legs were completely disabled as early as the beginning, and he even used medicine on His Highness the Crown Prince in order to prevent future troubles.
His Royal Highness looked at King Qinghe whose face was getting whiter and paler, and said softly.
"Fourth brother, do you know what chills me the most?"
King Qinghe looked at His Royal Highness in silence, and did not intend to speak.
Winner and loser, the moment his conspiracy and calculations were completely exposed, and the moment His Royal Highness appeared in front of him intact, King Qinghe knew that he was all finished.
Now it's just the winner showing off his power in front of him, even if he doesn't say anything, His Royal Highness will say it.
"I didn't expect you to be so cold-hearted. Even my brotherly affection for you can be fully exploited by you."
If it wasn't because of his trust in King Qinghe, His Royal Highness would not have kept the lucky bag made by King Qinghe by his side. Although His Royal Highness asked the imperial doctor to check the contents of the lucky bag, but because of the subconscious trust, he did not The entire lucky bag was handed over to the imperial physician for inspection, and it was precisely because of this that His Highness the Crown Prince was tricked.
And this is exactly the scary thing about King Qinghe, he can even calculate people's feelings, even he himself is a part of the scheme, in order to achieve his goal, he can do anything, even with He would not hesitate to set up his own situation.
If it is said that the brothers Huainan King and Ruyang King still have merits, King Qinghe is a complete bad breed, without any merits.
This time, he even spared the life of an innocent person for the sake of his own escape. The results of the examination by Wu Zuo have come out, and Sun Ziyun was starved to death.
According to what Wu Zuo said, Sun Ziyun died not seven days ago, but died last night. There was no food in her stomach. Wu Zuo cut Sun Ziyun's body open, and saw that she had shrunk to only half the size of an ordinary person His stomach was clean, and there was no food at all.
"Many of the symptoms of the deceased are consistent with the characteristics of a person who died of starvation. The villain can be sure that the cause of this girl's death is due to hunger."
After hearing the cause of death given by Wu Zuo, His Royal Highness felt even more that King Qinghe was so cold-blooded that he was not as good as a beast.
Sun Ziyun did not die seven days ago, King Qinghe did not poison Sun Ziyun, probably used some special means to make Sun Ziyun fall into a coma, and for so many days he has been treating Sun Ziyun like a corpse, he Put Sun Ziyun, who did not die, in the coffin, and outside the coffin, he played the image of the infatuated species.
How cold-blooded and terrifying is this
According to what Wu Zuo said, when people are hungry to a certain extent, they will wake up for a period of time, but because they are too weak, even if they wake up, they can't see or speak, but she can hear clearly. to outside sounds.
Thinking about it in the same situation, as long as His Royal Highness thinks of that situation, he will feel horrified.
He was still alive, but he was treated like a dead person, and the person who did all this was the man who kept saying that he loved her. How terrible pressure did Sun Ziyun endure during the period before his death
In that case, perhaps true death would be the release.
"Facing a woman who loves you, how can you do it? Even if you don't love her, why can you do such a cruel thing to her?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke in a deep voice, and asked King Qinghe a question.
After hearing His Highness the Crown Prince's words, King Qinghe raised his head to look at the other party. He hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a slightly ferocious smile on his face.
"She loves me? What she loves is just the name Qinghe King. If this king is not Qinghe King, it is impossible for her to love me. What's more, this king asked her before, and she said it. She is willing to do anything."
Sun Ziyun kept saying that she was willing to do anything for King Qinghe, since she was willing to do anything, then she was just following her wishes.
"Winner and loser, His Royal Highness, since you have already won, why do you have to show off your power in front of this king? What's the point?"
After saying these words, a strange smile appeared on King Qinghe's face.
"The king lost, the king admits defeat, but I don't think that you are the best, His Royal Highness, but because you have too much help, and even the father is on your side, With your father as your backer, Your Royal Highness, you are already invincible."
To this day, King Qinghe does not think that he lost at the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince. The reason why he underestimated the enemy this time is entirely because the Emperor stood behind His Highness the Crown Prince. King Qinghe did not believe that the Emperor did not know what His Highness the Crown Prince was doing. All of this, now that I think about it, I am afraid that everything today is a game set up by the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He was not wronged when he lost to his father.
After saying these words, King Qinghe didn't speak again, he lay down slowly, closed his eyes and refused to communicate with His Royal Highness.
Even though the true face of King Qinghe had been exposed by His Royal Highness, even if all his actions were made public, King Qinghe still didn't feel any guilt, and he didn't even say a word of apology to His Royal Highness.
Seeing King Qinghe like this, the last trace of softness in His Highness's heart disappeared. He raised his voice and called the guards outside to come in, and ordered the guards to drag King Qinghe off the bed, and looked at Qinghe who was forced to fall to the ground. King, His Royal Highness said coldly.
"Li Chengyu, don't you think that after doing so many outrageous things, you can still be your King of Qinghe?"
Not to mention King Qinghe's calculations against him, just because of the fact that Sun Ziyun was killed, King Qinghe has no way to get out of the way like before.
The Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, King Qinghe murdered, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. With this one, he can be thrown into prison.
It was only at this moment that King Qinghe panicked. He looked up at His Highness the Crown Prince. When he saw the indifferent expression on the other side, King Qinghe clearly realized that this time he was really all over.
This farce ended temporarily with King Qinghe being pushed into the sky prison, but in just half a day, the news of King Qinghe's murder spread throughout the capital.
Originally, this kind of thing should be a secret, after all, it involves the face of the royal family, and it will be suppressed no matter what, but under the instruction of His Royal Highness, this matter spread in the capital at an unimaginable speed.
***
"Sun Ziyun is dead?"
After more than half a month of cultivation, Qi Wang's health has improved a lot. At this time, he was sitting on the bed and drinking medicine when he heard Qi Shengkun say this.
Qi Huang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Qi Shengkun: "Sun Ziyun is dead?"
Qi Shengkun nodded, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
