Chapter 213 The Prince's Candidate

"How is the injury of the left protector?"

In the dark and gloomy room, Yin Tianhan asked in a low voice.

"Since last night, there has been no news about Zuo Protector. As for Zuo Protector's injury, I don't know."

Hei Wuya, the elder of the Hall of Bones, was half-kneeling, his voice a little hoarse and trembling, as if he didn't dare to raise his head and look at Yin Tianhan.

Hei Wuya was nervous, and his hands were sweating.

Since Yin Tianhan, the holy son, came to the imperial capital to take charge of the overall situation, he had a deep understanding of the means of this holy son who had become famous in the Hall of Bones.

Extraordinary!

In less than a month, he was completely convinced by Yin Tianhan.

What Yin Tianhan ordered, he did without compromise.

Last night, Holy Son Yin Tianhan ordered him to find out the whereabouts and injuries of Zuo Guardian.

After hearing Yin Tianhan's order, Hei Wuya's first reaction was what is the Holy Son going to do?
He didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to ask!
He just acted according to Yin Tianhan's order, but it's a pity that Zuo Hufa was very cautious. He searched all day, but didn't find any clues.

Yin Tianhan was not angry when he saw that Hei Wuya didn't have any clues, this was in his expectation.

If Guardian Zuo was really so careless, he wouldn't be able to fight his way out and ascend to the throne of Guardian Zuo.

Yin Tianhan changed the subject and asked again.

"How is the collection of the Heavenly Soul Breaking the Forbidden Bead?"

"Holy Son, I have collected ninety Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Beads, and there are only eighteen pieces left to make up one hundred and eight!"

Ninety Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Beads!

Yin Tianhan nodded slightly, which was almost as expected.

The Hall of Bones had two purposes in helping the prince raise troops against the Qing emperor.

First, it was the prince's promise to them that by assisting the prince to ascend the throne, their Hall of Bone Bones could become the state religion of Wu and get rid of the name of a cult.

But the premise is that the prince can kill Emperor Xiaoyuan and ascend to the Great Treasure.

Yin Tianhan is naturally aware of the difficulty of the Qing emperor's side, so he also has backup plans.

His second plan was to refine the Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Bead while the Qing Emperor was at his side.

The refining material of the Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Bead is the soul of a human being, and the stronger the martial arts strength of the deceased, the better the effect.

Due to the foolish actions of the ghost operator, the court of the state of Wu had their eyes on their Hall of Bone Bones, so that the collection and refining of the Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Bead has been in a difficult state.

This time, the incident on Prince Qingjun's side happened to help them a lot.

During the process of the Qing emperor's side, the Zhen Guo army attacked the imperial capital, and both the crown prince and Emperor Xiaoyuan suffered many casualties. The soldiers who died last night became the best nourishment for the Heavenly Soul Breaking the Forbidden Pearl.

The disciples of the Hall of Bones roamed the various battlefields, collecting the souls of the dead.

Just one night is equivalent to the results of three months on weekdays.

In short, no matter whether Prince Qing's side can succeed or not, their White Bone Hall will never lose money.

On Hei Wuya's face, there was a deep sense of regret, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Unfortunately, the souls of the great masters cannot be refined into the Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Bead."

After hearing Hei Wuya's words, Yin Tianhan shook his head and chuckled lightly.

"The corpses of several great masters are all under the eyes of Emperor Xiaoyuan, how could we allow us to do something secretly."

"However..." Hei Wuya changed the subject, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Your Highness, there is not much time until the winter hunting day, and we are short of eighteen pieces of Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Orb, what should we do? "

Hei Wuya's heart was full of worries.

He is very clear about the significance of the Winter Hunting Day plan to the Hall of Bones. This plan was carried out by the Hall Master himself, and even the Holy Son, who was regarded as a treasure by the Hall Master, was sent to take risks in the Imperial Capital. The importance of day hunting plan.

However, there is only half a month before the winter hunting day.

In half a month, it is not an easy task to collect eighteen Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Orbs.Among the difficulties, it is almost impossible to reach the sky.

This time, relying on the timing of Prince Qing Jun, he collected a large number of Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Beads.

But then, there is no second prince, and they will use it.

Hearing Hei Wuya's worry, Yin Tianhan still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking confident, without the slightest panic.

"Elder Hei, you don't need to worry!"

"This Holy Son has another plan!"

"Your Highness, if you want to refine eighteen Heavenly Soul Breaking Forbidden Orbs, at least a dozen grandmasters must fall, or thousands of ordinary warriors must die."

"How can this be done?"

"In the imperial capital, there is no such opportunity at all!"

"There is no chance, then create a chance!"

"As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts. I don't believe that anyone will not be tempted by the inheritance of Venerable Fen Tian, ​​the most powerful master."

"As long as we secretly contribute to the flames, it will be enough to beat a few princes to death!"

"Let's not talk about a dozen grandmasters, maybe even one or two great grandmasters will fall!"

On the corner of Yin Tianhan's mouth, there was a cold smile, like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass waiting for an opportunity.

……

"What? Concubine Wan was tied up and sent to the gate of the palace?"

Ji Tianci suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, with a look of deep surprise in his eyes.

What he just heard made him so surprised that he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

Concubine Wan was tied up and sent to the gate of the palace.

Someone gave him such a big gift?
"Who sent it?" Ji Tianci asked hastily.

"His Royal Highness, the person escorting Concubine Wan is the butler of Da Si Nong's Mansion!"

Da Sinong, Zhou Qingchuan!

Ji Tianci raised his eyebrows, the horror in his eyes was almost overflowing.

It turned out to be Zhou Qingchuan, the chief minister, which was beyond anyone's expectations.

In the battle for the heir apparent, the peasant family has always been neutral, and none of the princes will help.

How could Zhou Qingchuan suddenly make a move and give himself such a big gift?
Is the farmer going to violate the ancestral precepts and place a bet?
Ji Tianci's eyes were full of doubts, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and then asked.

"Master Zhou's butler, did you say anything?"

"The housekeeper of Da Sinong said that Da Sinong gave Concubine Wan to your Highness for the sake of a junior."

younger generation!

Ji Tianci thought carefully, and a pretty figure immediately appeared in his mind.

The junior, and in Zhou Qingchuan's mind, he still has a bit of face, except for Jiang Ruoshui, a descendant of Shennong, Ji Tianci can't think of anyone else.

Ji Tianci took a deep breath, thinking to himself.

This time, I owe Jiang Ruoshui a big favor.

Ji Tianci said to the guards.

"Escort Concubine Wan into the palace... well, let's go alone."

Ji Tianci personally escorted Concubine Wan to the palace, but Emperor Xiaoyuan seemed to not want to see Concubine Wan, the woman who gave him a cuckold, and directly asked Liu Zhong, a great companion, to send Concubine Wan to the cold palace.

Yonghe Palace, the most secluded and deepest cold palace among the imperial palaces.

At this time, two people ushered in.

Besides Concubine Wan, an old client, there is another man with disheveled hair—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
The crown prince sat in the Yonghe Palace with a dead face, and seemed to have completely lost his fighting spirit. He looked like a walking corpse, and even his eyes were cloudy and dim, unable to see any brilliance.

Looking at the roof covered with cobwebs, the prince's eyes lost focus, and Mr. Dong's voice and smile appeared in his mind.

If I had obeyed Mr. Dong at the beginning, wouldn't I have ended up where I am now?

The prince's heart is full of annoyance and regret, why was he so obsessed with ghosts back then?

What Mr. Dong said is obviously very reasonable, why can't I listen to it?
Now he wanted to hear Mr. Dong's words, but he couldn't.

Thinking of Mr. Dong being easily handed over to Xu Guanhai by himself, the prince sighed for a while.

After Concubine Wan was imprisoned in Yonghe Palace, a strange ruthlessness suddenly flashed in the eyes of the motionless prince.

"Bitch, it's all you!"

"If you hadn't seduced me, how could Gu have ended up like this?"

When the prince saw Concubine Wan's figure, he was so angry that he jumped up from the ground, walked three steps at a time, grabbed Concubine Wan's hair, and slapped her down.

Clap!
On Concubine Wan's pretty face, there were five red and swollen finger prints, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding from the slap.

Concubine Wan was a little stunned by the prince's slap, and it took a long time before she recovered from the dizziness.

She gave the prince a hard look, cursing in a high-pitched voice, like a shrew.

"Prince, are you still a man?"

"Dare to do it or not to be it!"

"It's obvious that you are greedy for my body, why didn't you think that I was your father's concubine when you were in full swing?"

"Bah! Now you know you're afraid?"

"Why didn't you know before? You still want me to go to Xiangguo Temple every now and then to have a tryst with you?"

Concubine Wan's words hurt the prince's sensitive heart, and the prince looked gloomy and cursed.

"Bitch, how dare you quibble!"

"it was all your fault!"

"Bitch!"

"Bitch!"

"Bitch!"

The prince's slap was heavier than the other, and the force was so ruthless that it seemed that he wanted to kill Concubine Wan.

It wasn't until Wanfei's head was beaten up like a pig's head that the prince calmed down and let Wanfei go.

The crown prince and concubine Wan experienced the most difficult three days in Yonghe Palace.

During these three days, Emperor Xiaoyuan did not take care of the Crown Prince and Concubine Wan, but tried his best to eliminate the remnants of the Champion Hou in the Zhen Guo Army, and placed his own people into the Zhen Guo Army.

After this wave of cleansing, the influence of the champion Hou in the Zhen Guo army was completely washed away, and the Zhen Guo army also returned to Emperor Xiaoyuan's control.

Three days later, the crown prince and concubine Wan finally waited for their trial.

Liu Zhong came to Yonghe Palace with two glasses of wine.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, this is the royal wine that His Majesty gave you!"

Seeing the two glasses of imperial wine, the prince and concubine Wan's faces turned pale instantly, their legs trembled uncontrollably because of fear, as if they were in the cold weather.

Liu Zhong said it was imperial wine, but both the crown prince and concubine Wan knew in their hearts that these two cups were poisoned wine given to them by Emperor Xiao Yuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan, this is giving them death.

Although the prince was already in despair, his instinct to survive made him choose to resist and did not want to drink this glass of poisoned wine.

Even if he was locked up in the cold palace for a lifetime, he didn't want to be given to death like this.

"No—I don't want it!"

"I want to see my father!"

"I want to see my father!"

The prince was crying bitterly, shouting hysterically, like an unreasonable shrew.

As for Concubine Wan, she didn't even dare, she just slumped on the ground, her crotch filled with smelly smell.

When she was thrown into the cold palace before, Concubine Wan still had confidence in her heart, because her father was a champion, and she still had the capital to stand up.

But now, Concubine Wan is completely scared.

She knew that no one could save her.

Liu Zhong looked at the reactions of the prince and concubine Wan, and shook his head with a faint contempt on his face.

He ordered the little eunuch behind him, and said calmly.

"Go, serve wine to the prince and Concubine Wan!"

With that said, several young eunuchs were well-trained and cooperated very tacitly.

The two fixed the prince, one pried open the prince's mouth, and the other fed the prince wine, and the same was true for Concubine Wan.

"Don't...no...I want to see...Father..."

After a few breaths, the prince and concubine Wan were completely out of breath.

Liu Zhong checked the pulses of the two cautiously, and after confirming that the two were dead, he went to report to Emperor Xiaoyuan.

……

In the imperial study.

Emperor Xiaoyuan bestowed seats on Zhou Qingchuan and Zhang Jingzong.

"Zhou Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, which prince do you think can take on the important role of crown prince?" Emperor Xiaoyuan asked.

Emperor Xiaoyuan's light words brought great pressure to Zhou Qingchuan and Zhang Jingzong.

Which prince is suitable to be a prince?
This is a proposition!

Zhang Jingzong didn't think too much, he didn't want to participate in the matter of seizing the heir at all, so he said it bluntly.

"Your Majesty, the choice of the crown prince is a matter of His Majesty's family, and it is entirely up to you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Jingzong's answer did not exceed Emperor Xiaoyuan's expectations.

Whether or not the candidate for the crown prince is a royal family matter really depends on one mouth.

When ministers want to intervene, it's a matter of state.

If you don't want to interfere, it's royal family business.

Anyway, it makes sense.

After Zhang Jingzong made his statement, Emperor Xiaoyuan looked at Zhou Qingchuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan thought that Zhou Qingchuan's attitude would be the same as that of Zhang Jingzong, but what Zhou Qingchuan said next greatly shocked Emperor Xiaoyuan and Zhang Jingzong.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the fifth prince is benevolent and filial, with gentle and martial arts, so he can be established as the crown prince!"

When Zhou Qingchuan said these words, Emperor Xiaoyuan and Zhang Jingzong were all stunned in shock.

Zhang Jingzong's face was full of horror. He was curious, how could Zhou Qingchuan, who was like himself and never participated in the seizure of the heir apparent, support the Fifth Prince?

What ecstasy soup did the fifth prince pour Zhou Qingchuan into?

It can make Zhou Qingchuan give up his neutral attitude.

Emperor Xiaoyuan was also full of astonishment, astonished by Zhou Qingchuan's statement, and even more surprised that Ji Tianci was able to handle Zhou Qingchuan, an old man.

This was completely out of his plan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan's expression changed a few times, he cleared his throat and said.

"Whether it is talent, character, or strategy, Ci'er is the best choice."

"It's just that the other princes also have their merits, so they can't be killed with a single blow."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Zhou Qingchuan asked.

"After half a month's winter hunting, I will inspect several princes and make a final decision!"
