Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 240: Announcement in a fair manner

Views:

The woman leaned over with a charming smile, but she didn't completely stick to the prince's body.

"Why are you so angry?"

The woman in front of him is not only his beauty, but also his clever staff and partner.

Therefore, the prince did not hide anything, and immediately said: "Xishan Jitian, you know that the leader of the royal family is a very important identity, and it is a kind of foreshadowing. Now, the old man has let the fourth leader lead the team."

"The fourth prince?" Zhu Qingzi raised her eyebrows. "Actually, it's normal. Last time the crown prince displeased the emperor, the emperor had made it clear that he would not hand over the team leader to the crown prince. Now the fifth prince can't tell whether he likes it or not, but. After all, the time back is too short, and the fourth prince He has made achievements in a period of time, and has not made any mistakes. In this way, it is normal for the title of the emperor to be the leader of the team to be placed on him."

When Zhu Qingzi said this, the Prince's expression did not get any worse, but he said in displeasure, "That old man should really abdicate!"

Zhu Qingzi chuckled. "Prince, I know you are impatient, but it is useless to be impatient, we must do something, otherwise..."

"Qingzi, tell me, what should we do?" the prince asked immediately.

Zhu Qingzi smiled slightly. "In my opinion..."

While Zhu Qingzi was making suggestions to the prince, on the other side, Zhou Suye also received the news.

He knew that he shouldn't expect him to lead the team this time.

But when King Zhou really chose Fang Shuoyang, he was still a little disappointed.

His father seems to really want them to compete...

Thinking of the most honorable position in the world, Zhou Suye couldn't help clenching the fists beside her.

Since he is now a prince, he may not have the qualifications to fight for it.

What's more, now that the second prince and the third prince are both dead, the possibility of him is very high, isn't it

As long as the prince and Fang Shuoyang both...

Thinking of this, Zhou Suye's eyes darkened.

Those who achieve great things do not stick to small details.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up, so if you want to climb to the highest position, you must pay. And, you have to be ruthless...

He didn't believe that the deaths of the third prince and the second prince were not done by those two!

And now that he is a prince, sooner or later, they will attack him too!

In this case, it is better to strike first!

After Zhou Suye thought about it, he already had a decision in his heart.

Then, Zhou Suye summoned his confidant's subordinates and let them go to work...

Late at night, Fang Shuoyang came back from the palace.

He was sent back by the carriage in the palace, and the carriage left after it was delivered to the mansion. The driver, Fang Shuoyang respectfully, Fang Shuoyang washed up and returned to the bedroom, Xu You had already fallen asleep.

Xu You drank a little wine at the banquet and fell asleep at this time, even snoring.

Fang Shuoyang felt cute when he saw the other person's appearance, so he couldn't help but pinch the other person's nose.

Xu You's nose was pinched, but he just turned over, and then continued to sleep.

Fang Shuoyang looked amused, then leaned over and kissed each other's nose.

Xu You didn't know that he was being taken advantage of, and was still sleeping soundly.

Later, Fang Shuoyang also went to bed.

He lay beside Xu You, very peaceful in his heart.

Today his good father behaved very kindly, as if he was about to pass on the throne to himself.

If you are a no-brainer, you will definitely be moved, even heartbroken.

But it is a pity that he is not a fool, and there are many military advisers around him.

Therefore, King Zhou's loving father didn't move him at all.

On the contrary, it made him feel even more chilling. The royal family really has no family affection.

Obviously they are all his sons, but this week, King Zhou's heart can be so biased!

Stop thinking about that hypocrite, Fang Shuoyang hugged Xu You in his arms... and fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, Long Xiaoyuan got up and yawned. Liu Suifeng was also in this room, but he was the one laying the floor.

After Long Xiaoyuan woke up, he also woke up.

Liu Suifeng yawned, then got up directly from the ground, and tidied up the bedding neatly.

Long Xiaoyuan yawned again, watching the other party tidy up.

After a while, Liu Suifeng cleaned up.

Long Xiaoyuan also tidied up, and then went outside.

There is another banquet tonight, but there are not so many people today compared to last night.

Only ministers and princes are going today.

Moreover, only ministers of the fourth rank or above can go. Moreover, guards are not allowed.

This is a gathering within the imperial court. During the banquet, King Zhou is expected to directly announce that Fang Shuoyang will lead the Xishan Heaven Festival.

Without Long Xiaoyuan and the others following, Long Xiaoyuan naturally relaxed.

Before nightfall, Fang Shuoyang left in his family's carriage.

Long Xiaoyuan and others stayed behind, Xu You pulled Long Xiaoyuan over to have dinner together.

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it, but he didn't refuse.

The two brothers also drank wine in the inner room, which meant that they would not go home until they were drunk.

Although Liu Suifeng said that he wanted to follow Long Xiaoyuan with him, he didn't have to look so closely.

So, Liu Suifeng came over and took a look before leaving.

The two brothers drank for a long time, and both of them were a little bit drunk.

until…

"assassin!"

When the turmoil broke out outside, Long Xiaoyuan immediately sobered up a little.

"Xu You, there are assassins outside!"

"Huh? Assassin? Where is it?" Xu You was obviously more drunk than Long Xiaoyuan, and he couldn't even speak fluently.

At this time, Liu Suifeng came in from the outside. "There are assassins, and there are a lot of them. Come with me."

Long Xiaoyuan dragged Xu You and followed Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng didn't take people outside, but ran from inside the inner hall.

Soon, Liu Suifeng brought them to a room and pushed them in together.

Long Xiaoyuan was almost pushed and staggered, and Xu You was even more unlucky because he fell directly to the ground.

Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly helped him up. "Be careful, are you okay?"

Xu You's head was still a little groggy, "Brother?"

Long Xiaoyuan pulled the other party to his side. "Well, it's me. There are assassins outside, so be careful."

"What is an assassin?" Xu You was a little puzzled.

Long Xiaoyuan didn't bother to pay attention to a drunk, but just listened attentively to the movement outside.

The sound of swords came from outside.

Long Xiaoyuan frowned.

At this time, Liu Suifeng came in again.

Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Zhu Qingzi is here." Liu Suifeng whispered. "I'll stay with you inside. Tell Xu You to be quiet."

Long Xiaoyuan nodded, expressing his understanding, pulled Xu You over, and covered his mouth.

Xu You didn't struggle, and fell asleep directly leaning against Long Xiaoyuan!

At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan really wanted to say, you are a pig! I can sleep at this time!

However, Long Xiaoyuan didn't bother to pay attention to this pig anymore.

The sound of fierce fighting outside seemed to last longer and longer.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng worriedly, "It's been such a long time... It seems that Zhu Qingzi is very difficult."

"En." Liu Suifeng nodded. "That woman's poison technique is very high."

"Compared to you?"

Liu Suifeng shook his head slightly. "It's not the same, she always walks by the side door."

"What's the meaning?"

Liu Suifeng said lightly: "I don't understand even if I tell you."

When Long Xiaoyuan heard the words, he immediately turned black.

Liu Suifeng said again: "It's more appropriate to use Tianxiangzi to deal with her, because they know each other well."

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "What if you treat Shangtian Xiangzi?"

Liu Suifeng looked at the other party. "If we really match up, she is not my opponent. However, I have to prepare in advance. If I am successfully attacked by her, then the outcome is hard to tell."

"Is that so..." Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "alright, I got it."

During the conversation, Long Xiaoyuan heard the sound of fighting outside seemed to have stopped, so he said, "It's over?"

Liu Suifeng shook his head. "Don't go out. When it's really safe outside, the shadow guard will come and notify you."

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "ok, I get it."

The two of them plus a drunk waited for a while, and finally, a shadow guard came over and said. "It's time to come out."

Liu Suifeng opened the door, but Long Xiaoyuan didn't go out first, but said: "Send Mr. Xu back to his room first."

Liu Suifeng nodded in agreement.

Then, Long Xiaoyuan carried Xu You back, and left three shadow guards watching closely.

Afterwards, Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng went out together.

Zhu Qingzi brought about ten people over, and all of them had good strength values.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince's Mansion was severely damaged.

However, not many people now know that Zhu Qingzi is the prince.

Besides, the second prince and the third prince were all assassinated and died, so it's not surprising that it's the fourth prince's turn

What may be the remnants of the previous dynasty at work

Or some anti-imperial organization

If it's the prince, it's impossible, right? So blatant! Is the prince so stupid

Therefore, when most people think this way, it is obviously the truth, but if something happens, it will look like they are setting the blame! At that time, it will be unfavorable to the Fourth Prince!

"The damage is quite serious." Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows.

The damage was indeed serious, especially, many doors were knocked open.

Looking at the doors that were knocked open, it was not difficult to guess that the assassin was looking for someone.

But unfortunately, the assassin failed to find anyone.

Eleven assassins came, three escaped, and the others died.

Those bodies were on the ground in the mansion.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at the corpses and touched his chin. "Go and report to the government."

"Yes." One person took the order and left quickly.

Liu Suifeng stepped forward and shook Long Xiaoyuan's hand. "Husband, let's go back to the room."

Long Xiaoyuan knew that the other party had something to say, so he nodded.

Leaving everything here to the housekeeper, Long Xiaoyuan followed Liu Suifeng back to the room.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

"I want those corpses for research."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "Why?"

Liu Suifeng looked at Long Xiaoyuan speechlessly. "It's just for research. My poison and antidote, etc., actually need corpses for research."

"But after reporting to the police, these corpses will definitely be taken away."

"I don't need so many, just two or three."

"The two can still be kept." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "Just go and talk to the shadow guard yourself."

"Okay. I'm just telling you. Besides, I thought of something."

"What?" Long Xiaoyuan looked at the other party.

"It's a sacred object I left at the border." Liu Suifeng lowered his voice.

Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. "How did you come up with that?"

"That's something from Dongye Kingdom... Also, I wonder if Tian Xiangzi and Zhu Qingzi know about that thing."

Long Xiaoyuan frowned upon hearing this, "It's hard to say, what do you want to say?"

"Haven't we always suspected Tian Xiangzi's motives? Although what she said seems to be true, but...

… We never believed it, did we? "

"Do you suspect that she may have something to do with that holy object?"

"I'm not so skeptical, I just suspect that she may know something. The same is poisonous, there is no reason for her not to know anything, right? Moreover, if the sacred object belongs to the Eastern Ye Kingdom, then it is very likely They all know that, don't they?"

Hearing this, Long Xiaoyuan began to think in the room.

"Tianxiangzi came to Fang Shuoyang immediately after he appeared, and told him his life experience directly. Then, maybe it can be understood that, in fact, she has been paying attention to Fang Shuoyang for a long time. Fang Shuoyang has been in Yuelong Dynasty. His father rebelled and rebelled. If she had been staring at Fang Shuoyang, how could she not know about it? At the beginning, we all knew that Fang Qiuhua was cooperating with people from Dongye Kingdom. For this reason, Fang Qiuhua said when he died that he was the only one who was sorry in this life. His wife and son, we know that Fang Qiuhua is cooperating with people from Dongye Kingdom, and the information we found shows that Fang Qiuhua is one of several princes, but what if he is not? What if those princes are just a cover?"

Liu Suifeng paused, he didn't expect Long Xiaoyuan to think of so much at once.

While shocked, Liu Suifeng couldn't help but said: "You mean, maybe... it's Tianxiangzi?"

"Not necessarily impossible, isn't it? You know, Tian Xiangzi knows Fang Shuoyang's identity, so it is very likely that he has actually had contact with Fang Qiuhua a long time ago!"

"The only one who doesn't know that Fang Shuoyang is Fang Qiuhua's son is Zhou Huan, the mother, isn't he?"

Liu Suifeng took a long breath, "If that's the case, Fang Qiuhua, what is he planning?"

"We shouldn't ask Fang Qiuhua what he wants. He was just lured or threatened. The real one should be Tian Xiangzi. What is she trying to do! Revenge?"

"She's a woman, so she can't really be a queen, right?" Liu Suifeng frowned.

"It's impossible to be an empress. But... if she has ambitions, she might be able to coerce the emperor to make the princes."

Liu Suifeng frowned. "She's just a girl, isn't it possible?"

Long Xiaoyuan shrugged. "Who knows? We don't know each other well, and I just speculated about her with the greatest malice. However, you mentioned the sacred object, which made me suddenly enlightened, Tian Xiangzi, she must know about it!"

Liu Suifeng paused, and said slowly: "Since she knows, maybe we can ask directly."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. "A direct question?"

"Yeah. Just ask. See if she's hiding it or something..."

Long Xiaoyan touched his chin thoughtfully when he heard the words, this has almost become his signature action when thinking. "Your idea is good. When nothing is clear, this is the best way to try."

Liu Suifeng smiled slightly. "If that's the case, then do it."

"Well, but I have to think about the details again, so as not to expose my hole card if I fail to test something."

"I don't like to use my brain, so I'll leave it to you to think about it. I'll go out quickly, otherwise the experimental corpse I want won't be able to be kept."

After speaking, Liu Suifeng went out and left directly.

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a long time in the room.

This time, Fang Shuoyang didn't come back until midnight, but he became angry immediately after he came back.

He has already reported to the official, and even, on the way back, he has actually reported to the emperor.

It's just that Fang Shuoyang just came back at that time, so he staggered.

After Fang Shuoyang came back, he went to Long Xiaoyuan's room. After hearing Long Xiaoyuan say that he had a plan, the two discussed the assassination again.

Afterwards, Fang Shuoyang immediately went to the palace.

Say, what is he going to do? Crying, of course!

In addition, he also took away one thing, which was Zhu Qingzi's portrait.

Why? Because that's what the assassin sees when he drops the veil!

This is what an assassin looks like!

Zhu Qingzi and Tian Xiangzi look the same. What Tian Xiangzi said now is that she is working for Fang Shuoyang on the surface. Fang Shuoyang just took Zhu Qingzi's portrait and went to the emperor. If you want to say, this is too rude to Tian Xiangzi, a partner up.

But Long Xiaoyuan now suspects that Tian Xiangzi's ambition is actually in Yuelong Dynasty! And it started many years ago.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan didn't care whether Tian Xiangzi would be "harmed" or not!

Fang Shuoyang arrived at the palace and was summoned immediately.

The king of Zhou showed great anger at the fact that the fourth prince, his beloved son, was assassinated in the mansion.

At this time, Long Xiaoyuan was already fast asleep in the bed.

Then, the next day, Zhu Qingzi's portrait was wanted all over the country.

Zhu Qingzi never thought that Fang Shuoyang would do this!

Isn't her good sister working with Fang Shuoyang

Even if he went to assassinate himself last night, so what

Shouldn't this kind of thing be tacit to each other

Why did you publish this portrait like this

Zhu Qingzi was very surprised, and then angry.

The prince's eyes flickered again and again, it was no secret that Zhu Qingzi was in his mansion.

On the contrary, no one knew about Tianxiangzi's cooperation with Fang Shuoyang, at least they couldn't grasp the evidence.

Now, Zhu Qingzi is wanted, if Zhu Qingzi is sent high, she says she is with her.

So, wasn't he the one who attacked the Fourth Prince's Mansion last night

The prince gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

At this time, Zhu Qingzi was coming to look for the prince, but the prince gave the order immediately.

"Come on! Assassin! Get it for Ben Gong!"

Zhu Qingzi's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Hehe, His Royal Highness is really cruel..."

"You are the most poisonous woman! I was deceived by you. You live in my palace relying on your beauty, but you still want to assassinate my younger brother. You are so brave! Come on!" Ah! Quickly bring this assassin down to Ben Gong!"

The crown prince ordered, and the people in the crown prince's womb naturally dared not to obey.

So, soon, several guards surrounded Zhu Qingzi.

How could Zhu Qingzi be caught without a fight

So, a good fight started like this.

Zhu Qingzi always carried a lot of poison with her.

Therefore, during the battle, a handful of poisonous powder was immediately sprinkled out.

"Ah!" The person who was touched by the poisonous powder immediately exclaimed.

Then, Zhu Qingzi smiled coldly, and sprinkled another handful of poisonous powder on the prince.

The prince was terrified, and desperately hid back. Fortunately, he hid fast enough, and there were two death guards standing in front of him, so the poisonous powder did not reach him.

Even so, the prince was so frightened that he fell to the ground, really losing his image.

And Zhu Qingzi, at this time, has jumped onto the high wall and left in a cool way...

The prince knew how powerful Zhu Qingzi's poisonous skills were, so he couldn't help being frightened when someone ran away.

In addition, the prince is more angry.

She was the one who came up with the attack plan last night, and now there is such a big mistake! How dare you assassinate him? Really looking for death!

The prince was very angry, and then sent people to chase the murderer.

And he himself... put on the clothes of the prince, and hurried to the palace.

He has to "plead guilty."

Because I "do not know people clearly..."

It didn't take long for the changes in the Crown Prince's palace to be known to almost the entire imperial city.

After all, the Taiwo palace dispatched a lot of guards to "search" for the assassin!

Moreover, the prince himself hastily went to the palace... So, can the people in the imperial city not know

After all, Zhu Qingzi was a threat from the prince, so it was solved so easily, it would be good for everyone...

Long Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with the result!
