The Fourth Prince and Xu You were walking hand in hand in their own mansion, this scene is really beautiful.
Especially Xu You, it's rare that he didn't show his teeth and claws, but was led obediently, looking much cuter.
Of course, to the fourth prince Fang Shuoyang, Xu You is cute no matter what.
It's just that some servants couldn't help but think in their hearts when they saw them holding hands, these two people are so good for each other!
When night comes, Fang Shuoyang cannot stay at home.
As the prince's younger brothers, they need to guard the spirit.
However, Fang Shuoyang didn't need to watch the whole night. Because of the "punishment" of the fifth prince.
Fang Shuoyang didn't want to attract more attention at this time. In the middle of the night, when the palace man told him that he could go back, he went back.
Of course, brotherly love was not forgotten.
"Suye, if you can't hold on, tell the palace servants not to hold on."
Zhou Suye nodded. "Thank you, Brother Four, for your concern."
Fang Shuoyang didn't say anything more, nodded and left.
However, Fang Shuoyang, who was leaving, met an assassin on the way...
Fang Shuoyang's eyes turned cold.
Not many assassins came, only five. Moreover, Fang Shuoyang himself was not without people, so the five people were quickly stopped.
In the end, none of these five people could agree with each other. All killed.
However, who will come to kill him at this time? On the cusp of this
After being attacked, Fang Shuoyang went to the palace "beating gongs and drums".
"What! Assassin!" Zhou Wangnu's entire face turned black.
Fang Shuoyang smiled wryly: "Yes, father, those assassins were brought here by the servants, at the gate of the palace."
Zhou Wang's face was ashen, and there was another wave of unrest.
King Zhou immediately summoned the people from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate clearly.
This time, the criminal department was very efficient.
Because the Crown Princess...hanged herself in the Prince's Mansion.
The killer was also sent by her.
As for why Fang Shuoyang was killed? In fact, she wanted to kill Zhou Suye together.
However, Zhou Suye is currently guarding the spirit in the palace, and her people can't get in at all.
Moreover, after the prince died, she could not mobilize anyone.
Therefore, Fang Shuoyang can only be killed.
The Prince's Mansion is outside the palace, but the Prince's mourning hall is located inside the palace, and even though she is the Crown Princess, she is not qualified to guard the mourning.
The one who guards the spirit can only be a member of the royal family, that is, Zhou Suye.
The maid next to the princess recruited everything.
Fang Shuoyang deeply felt that this time it was an unwarranted disaster.
After returning to the mansion, Xu You immediately greeted him. "What's going on? Why did you meet an assassin when you came back?"
Fang Shuoyang smiled wryly. "It's the princess."
Xu You was slightly taken aback.
Fang Shuoyang patted each other. "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xu You nodded. "Okay, let's go to rest first."
The next day, Long Xiaoyuan woke up and found out that Fang Shuoyang was attacked last night, and the murderer was found not long after, it was the princess.
"That woman... is pretty smart, she probably thought, anyway, one of you two must be the one who killed her husband, so she wants to kill both of you, but Zhou Suye is hard to find in the palace, And she couldn't wait any longer, so she could only take you under the knife."
"Well, if I was killed, I guess she wouldn't commit suicide so early, and she would think about killing Zhou Suye again."
"Don't talk nonsense! You won't be killed!" Xu You said unhappily.
Fang Shuoyang smiled. "Well, what you're saying is, I won't be killed."
Xu You felt better now. "Well, now is the time when we are all fighting for our lives. Either you die or I die. I would rather we all be that villain, as long as we all live well."
"Okay." Fang Shuoyang nodded.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "Yo, everyone is rushing to be a bad guy."
"I learned from my elder brother." Xu You said immediately.
Long Xiaoyuan felt very innocent. "How can you say that you learned from me? I am obviously very good and kind."
Xu You rolled his eyes. "Yes, hello, if you are good, probably no one is bad."
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou aggrieved when he heard the words. "Qingzhou, he actually said that to me! It's too much!"
"Well, it's really too much." Shi Qingzhou nodded in agreement.
Long Xiaoyuan immediately found his bosom friend. "Look, my light boat can't even pass!"
Xu You: "..."
Fang Shuoyang smiled. "Let's have breakfast first."
With such an interruption, the dull atmosphere of the crowd just now improved a lot.
The crown prince was buried vigorously, and the crown princess, although she sent a killer, the king of Zhou still gave her a very decent way of death... burial.
For this reason, King Zhou asked Fang Shuoyang, the "bitter master", for his opinion.
And Fang Shuoyang agreed.
A woman, why should he be in trouble.
So, the princess was buried next to the prince.
And the prince is still living in the imperial mausoleum.
After the grand burial of the prince was over, there was a sense of turmoil in the court.
However, it looked very calm on the surface.
It's just that more and more ministers always come to Fang Shuoyang's side with excuses. Fang Shuoyang is very polite about this, but not everyone is close.
Moreover, even if there is Fang Shuoyang's "confidant", it must be someone on his side.
In front of these people, he would never say anything against Zhou Suye.
Now, Zhou Suye is still thinking about his past behind closed doors at home!
However, Fang Shuoyang knew that the other party would definitely be released. And, this day, it won't be too late. Because in another month and a half, it will be the emperor's birthday.
The emperor's birthday is naturally a grand occasion.
In this year, too many things happened.
Most of the sons died, and King Zhou also needed to change his mood.
In particular, the murderer who assassinated the second prince and the third prince has not been caught yet...
Of course, it was the real murderer, not the handed over murderer.
King Zhou always felt that there was something hiding behind him to plot against him, thinking that it would be bad for him.
His stupid sons are the proof.
For this reason, King Zhou strengthened a lot by his side and by Zhou Suye's side, almost to the point where even flies couldn't fly in.
On the other hand, Fang Shuoyang, King Zhou didn't make such an arrangement, and he made it up with Fang Shuoyang himself.
This is the difference between a son and a son!
Fang Shuoyang naturally noticed this, but he didn't mind at all.
On the day half a month before King Zhou's birthday, Fang Shuoyang was called into the palace, and was secretly called into the imperial study by King Zhou. This time, Fang Shuoyang stayed there for half an hour.
When Fang Shuoyang came out, although his face was calm, it seemed that there was something hidden in his eyes.
Is it joy? Is dignified? Or do you want to fight hard
None of the eunuchs and maids outside dared to look carefully, they all knew that the current fourth prince... might be their future prince!
For the gentle and polite fourth prince, the fourth prince who never puts on airs, in fact, they still like it very much.
Fang Shuoyang returned to the mansion and went directly to Long Xiaoyuan.
Long Xiaoyuan saw that the other party's expression was not right, so he immediately squinted his eyes. "What's wrong? What happened again?"
"Someone from the northern kingdom came secretly. My good father asked me to receive them."
"North Country?" Long Xiaoyuan frowned. "Who came from the North Country?"
"He is the prince of the Northern Kingdom, the future heir. The Northern Kingdom is different from the Dongye Kingdom. The prince of the Northern Kingdom has been determined and cultivated since childhood. Moreover, if there are no major accidents, then he will be the heir, the only heir."
Naturally, Long Xiaoyuan knew the basic information about the North Country, so he nodded.
"What is the prince of the Northern Kingdom here for?"
"On behalf of the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom, form an alliance and implement a plan."
"What plan?" Long Xiaoyuan asked immediately, with a bad premonition.
"Holy Object Project."
Long Xiaoyuan's eyes were cold. "Is it the evil plan?"
"That's right." Fang Shuoyang nodded. "Actually, although the poisonous and evil things that appeared in our place were written by the prince, they were actually the intention of the king of Zhou. We didn't know it before, and we only thought that some princes were doing it."
Long Xiaoyuan snorted coldly. "This old fox, there really is him."
"Well. Now the king of Zhou told me that the plan can still be carried out. Because what we have removed is most of the forces of Dongye Kingdom over there, but the people in the ambush of the Northern Kingdom have not moved yet. Although the people of the Northern Kingdom over there are not There are many, but most of those people are at the two border gates. Therefore, it is best to use that kind of poison among groups of soldiers. As long as the soldiers are poisoned, then the border defense of Yuelong Dynasty will be vulnerable. If Dong Ye Kingdom and Beiguo join forces again. Then... the Yuelong Dynasty will definitely be able to make dumplings. This is what King Zhou told me."
Long Xiaoyuan's eyes were extremely cold for a moment. "It's pretty beautiful to think about."
"Yeah, that's a pretty good idea... The King of Zhou gave me the task of contacting Prince Hu and Huang Cheng of the Northern Kingdom first, then confirming the detailed plan, and then asking me to go to the border to cooperate with him. Let Yue Bad luck for the army of the Dragon Dynasty."
Long Xiaoyuan clenched his fists.
Fang Shuoyang continued to speak softly: "It is said that this time Huhe Huangcheng came secretly, one is to show his sincerity, and the other is to bring over something newly developed by Beiguo, which is a very rare virus. This kind of virus can be poisoned through water sources, and then, as long as people come into contact with others, it can be transmitted. The most important thing is that when you first get poisoned, you won’t find anything. When you find out, you will feel that you If you get a cold, then, after three to five days, you will have no strength at all. At the border, if soldiers have no strength, how can they fight?"
With every sentence Fang Shuoyang said, Long Xiaoyuan's face became more and more ugly.
"Huhe Huangcheng said that the people in the northern kingdom who were stationed in the border gates are all dead soldiers. Once they receive the order, they will be the first batch of people who are poisoned. After the King of Zhou asked me to discuss with Huhe Huangcheng, After finding out the background of Huhe Huangcheng, it is best to know his deployment at the border, and then let me follow him to the border. Time is running out."
Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath.
At this time, Shi Qingzhou came in from the outside.
Long Xiaoyuan was not there when Fang Shuoyang looked for him just now, so he only came here now.
As soon as Shi Qingzhou came in, he found that the faces of the two were not right, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Long Xiaoyuan told the story of the prince of the Northern Kingdom.
The pale blood light flashed in Shi Qingzhou's eyes.
After a while, Shi Qingzhou said slowly: "We must find a way to get the poison first, and then send it to Liu Suifeng so that he can research the antidote."
Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Fang Shuoyang was silent for a while, "It's a bit difficult. The medicine is a secret security brought by Huhe Huangcheng. He won't hand it over so easily. King Zhou said that Huhe Huangcheng insisted on seeing the effect on the battlefield. King Zhou also accepted."
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou frowned at the same time.
After a while, Long Xiaoyuan said: "Then we can only resort to dangerous tactics."
Fang Shuoyang and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other together. "How do you make a risky move?"
Fang Shuoyang also said: "Steal?"
"Stealing is definitely not acceptable. This time the king of Zhou entrusted this matter to you must be tempting. Perhaps, he still wanted to attack you. Once you know, the prince of the Northern Kingdom will have less poison. This will work." ?"
Fang Shuoyang frowned. "Then what should we do?"
Long Xiaoyuan said slowly: "Let's go to King Zhou in an upright manner and tell him that you doubt the sincerity of Huhe Huangcheng, and you can use the envoys from the Northern Kingdom to my palace."
Fang Shuoyang paused and understood a little.
"We just need to doubt under King Zhou's nose, and ask for verification reasonably. King Zhou will not refuse. Isn't he afraid that the Northern Kingdom's coming here is a trap? In fact, is it us that the Northern Kingdom really wants to form an alliance?"
Shi Qingzhou thought about it and nodded. "This is a way, but the details need to be perfected."
"Well, let's think about it carefully." Long Xiaoyuan also said. "There must be no flaws, especially you, Fang Shuoyang, when you go to see the King of Zhou, you must be confident and look directly at him to let him know that you really think so, not playing any tricks."
Fang Shuoyang nodded. "Okay, I see."
So, the three of them got together and discussed the details in detail. After discussing for two hours, Fang Shuoyang immediately went to the palace to meet the saint.
