Empress Chu

They appeared under the city gate and were immediately spotted by the guards.

"Open the door."

Before the guard at the city gate asked, the leading eunuch shouted loudly.

"East Palace attendant."

After shouting this sentence, the eunuch ignored the guards at the city gate and turned to talk to the eunuch beside him: "After seeing the third son later, just stay and go together tomorrow—"

The other eunuch nodded, and then couldn't help but look at the city gate. According to the usual practice, the city gate will open immediately after hearing the words "East Palace servant", and the city gate officers will greet them respectfully——

But the door—

He looked over, the tall and heavy city gate was closed and motionless, what's going on?Didn't you hear?He looked up, and just about to open his mouth to shout again, he saw a group of soldiers appearing, holding bows and crossbows in their hands——

At the moment when the line of sight collided with the bow and crossbow, the sound of buzzing pierced the night sky, and cold lights flew over.

The two guards and eunuchs under the city gate didn't react, and fell off the horse with a scream, and more arrows rained down the next moment.

……

……

In the capital behind the high and deep city walls, in the courtyard of Xie's house, the sleeping Third Young Master Xie suddenly opened his eyes.

The black shadow outside the tent swayed, and someone's voice was low and urgent.

"Young master, something seems wrong."

Chapter 98 The Mountain Moves

The Wangchun Garden is brightly lit, but unlike the hunting ground, the hustle and bustle here is much more elegant.

The sound of music, dancing and dancing, looming among the pavilions, towers, pavilions and waterside pavilions, is like a fairyland on earth.

In front of the main hall, there were hundreds of scholars on the tables. At this time, the wine and dishes were in full swing, and many of them were already full of drunkenness. However, the drunk scholars did not fight and make noise. Splashing ink to paint, someone holding a flagon and singing poems loudly as a counterpoint.

Under the porch in front of the hall, the third prince was also sitting on the ground, without the slightest arrogance of the prince, splashing ink and reciting poems with everyone.

"Third Highness, you are a model for us scholars." Many people shouted in unison.

The third prince laughed and raised the pen in his hand: "I would like to read it with the people of the world."

A eunuch smiled and came forward to refill the wine for the third prince, and said in a low voice: "The road has been cut off, you can do it now."

The third prince picked up the wine glass and nodded with a smile to a scholar who was toasting to him, then drank it all in one gulp, stood up, shook the wine glass, swayed his sleeves, and sang poetry as he walked.

The scholars laughed and sang along, overshadowing the singing and dancing music, soaring straight into the sky, the onlookers and the scholars in it were all drunk, such an elegant and grand scene is rare.

The third prince was singing and walking, and when he reached the back of the hall, his uncle, Mr. Zhao, waited with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness's poem is excellent." He praised, and then asked, "Do you want to do it now?"

The third prince smiled and looked up at the night sky. The night sky was as dark as ink without moon or stars.

"It's really a dark night to kill people." He sighed, and turned to look at Mr. Zhao, "The prince must have a feast all night tonight. He really enjoyed himself before he died."

Mr. Zhao responded with a smile: "Your Highness is so caring, you brothers are not in vain."

The third prince tied up his sleeves and said: "Let's go, I will personally go see my brother off."

The eunuch next to him stepped forward and wrapped the belt around the third prince.

Uncle Zhao clasped his hands beside him and said with a smile, "This farewell, I will never see you again in the next life."

The third prince laughed.

Uncle Zhao said: "It's just that not everyone accompanied the prince, and there were quite a few people left in the city."

According to the original plan, the action is inside the city, once the door of the house is closed, surrounded by bows and crossbows, and once the fire burns, no one can escape.

But at this time, the prince's family went to the hunting ground, and they had to divide their forces. In this case, they could only deal with the main party members.

For example, Young's and Xie's.

"That's enough." The third prince didn't care, "After the prince is settled, the rest are nothing."

That's the only way to go, Uncle Zhao thought about it, and he still needs to add one more person.

"Remember to light a fire in Chu Garden by the way." He ordered to his followers.

It's all that little girl who got in on the act. If it wasn't for her, there would be no Chuyuan Wenhui, and there would be no prince who could get the handle to arrest people at will. mess up their plans.

At this moment, the third prince's long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, he is in a good mood, and he is not so angry with the little girl anymore.

He smiled and pointed his gray chin: "Uncle, don't worry, this little girl will not be able to ask for her death in the future, but now it will be easier for her to die."

After finishing speaking, he took the cloak handed over by the eunuch and threw it over his body.

This cloak has a big hood that covers his head and face.

The whole person instantly merged into the night.

……

……

The night was thick, but the hustle and bustle outside was also thicker, and the thick camp tents couldn't cover it.

Fortunately, the children were tired after playing all day and slept soundly.

The princess put up the thin quilt that her son had kicked away, and her eyes fell on the quilt, and she saw that the bamboo tube was also there - she didn't know what good things were in it, and the eunuchs quietly told her that the little highness was going to give it to the prince.

Even though the crown prince ignored the son, the son was still very attached to his father, and the crown princess could understand that, and she had always educated and raised the son in this way—after all, this father was not only a father, but also the emperor.

She didn't move the bamboo tube again, and carefully looked at her son's sleeping face, her eyes were full of pampering.

The maid laughed softly at the side: "Your Highness is still more like you."

The princess smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is not ugly either."

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, without the prying eyes of the palace, the master and servant spoke more casually.

"Let your highness sleep." She whispered, helping the princess to get up.

The two of them walked out of the tent, and the noise came. Looking at the flames and dancing figures in front of them, the princess couldn't help but reached out and pressed her forehead.

"Your Highness." The maid said in a low voice, "Go and rest first, the prince must be staying all night today."

This hunting will be three days, all night on the first day, rest on the second day, and banquet on the third day, the husband and wife can probably talk a word or two.

What is the difference between inside and outside the palace?

A look of sadness flashed in the eyes of the crown princess. Although she was used to it, she still had some expectations when she came out this time, hoping that the family of three could talk together.

She shouldn't have high hopes.

The Crown Princess lowered her eyes and turned around, and the next moment she thought of something, she turned her head again.

"Why hasn't the person who went to Yanfang's place come back yet?" she asked.

Although Yan Fang didn't come to see her very often, but she sent people over, and there must be a reply.

The maid said: "It's so late, the third son should stay with them overnight, and come together tomorrow morning."

That's fine, anyway, Xie Yanfang has explained the matter, so she doesn't have to worry, the princess smiled and regained her energy, it doesn't matter if the prince accompany her or not, but the prince will not ignore Yanfang's arrival.

that's enough.

The crown princess didn't look at the prince again, and entered the tent with a smile.

Although Xie Yanfang was not there at this moment, the prince was talking about him.

The prince was talking about the past with the people around him.

"At that time, Xie Yanfang was still a child in Guyan's eyes, but the strength of that arrow was really not small." He laughed.

The wrestlers around shouted, "The prince really cherishes talents", "The prince is broad-minded and can tolerate the world." "As long as you have real skills, the prince will be lenient." "With a prince like this, I will have no worries in the summer."

The prince waved his hand, he heard too many compliments, everyone must think so, his eyes swept over everyone, his eyes were drunk, but more clear.

"Actually, when Gu was young, no one praised Gu for his strength." He smiled and said, "Especially my father, whenever someone said that Gu was strong, he would say, ha, I raised a son who is a fool! "

Most of the Lishi are reckless people who don't know the big characters. Someone asked curiously, "What is the son?"

The people next to him hurriedly motioned him to keep a low voice, and explained in a low voice what gongzidang meant.

The prince continued to laugh.

"Father waits all day long to see me being crushed to death." He said, standing up as he spoke, "Today, the third younger brother is holding a literature meeting, and let Father watch him read, and I hold a hunting meeting, just to let Father watch , I will not be crushed to death."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and drank.

"Come on, carry it up."

Everyone hurriedly got up and saw four wrestlers carrying a tripod into the arena.

This - is to -

There was an uproar in the arena.

Eunuch Qi raised his foot and was about to rush to the prince. As the emperor's servant, he is the most qualified person here to stop him.

"Prince, don't—"

But Eunuch Zhu stopped him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness has a sense of proportion." He lowered his voice, "Your Highness has been practicing for more than a year, and the tripod is the most suitable one that can be lifted and the safest—"

However, that was also a tripod carried by four people!Eunuch Qi frowned: "Don't be reckless!"

Eunuch Zhu held him tight, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you understand this? There are many people lifting it, so it looks heavy. In fact, it only takes two people to lift it."

But——Eunuch Qi still had a hidden worry on his face, and there were applause from all around.

"The prince is mighty!" Everyone cheered, "The prince is mighty."

Eunuch Zhu smiled lowly: "Everyone knows it too, they have practiced it before."

So, these are just for him to see?Eunuch Qi seemed to understand.

The crown prince also looked at Eunuch Qi at this moment, and shouted to him: "Eunuch Qi, look at it, go back and tell the emperor, Gu, it's not that you are a prince, and there will be no Qinwu King in Daxia."

Alas, this child, Eunuch Qi is helpless, he is still holding his breath at such an age.

The prince had already stood in front of the tripod, unbuttoned his shirt, naked and majestic upper body, bent his knees and stretched out his hands to grab the tripod, the surroundings were silent for a moment, and the next moment, he heard a roar, and the tripod was lifted up by the prince.

The prince raised the tripod with both hands and stood firmly on the ground like a mountain.

There was silence all around, and then there was a tsunami.

"The prince is mighty!" "The prince is mighty!"

Eunuch Qi smiled helplessly, then hurriedly raised his hands and shouted: "I saw it, I saw it, Your Highness, put it down quickly."

His voice was inconspicuous amidst the roar of mountains and tsunami.

The prince was holding the tripod, but he didn't hold on to it, he strained his strength and let out a haha, then turned his steps, ready to put it down.

But at this moment, among the cheering crowd all around, a wrestler squatted down, flicked his finger, and a stone flew towards the prince against the ground.

The prince raised his foot slightly and turned it around. There seemed to be no sound, and then there seemed to be a bang, and the stone hit the prince's sole.

The prince was stabbed like a heart, and the script could be crooked, and it was like being struck by lightning instantly, and his whole body was split open.

No, he sprained his ankle!

No, it's not bad, it's even worse——

The prince raised his head and looked up, and the sky fell down as if the sky had collapsed.

Finished!

……

……

Eunuch Qi stood where he was, watching this scene with his own eyes, like a landslide, and at that moment, he couldn't hear anything.

There is only one thought in my heart.

Who is to blame for this, the emperor's poisonous words to provoke the prince to show off his power, or the prince's narrow-mindedness?

Chapter 99 Ground Shake

The night seemed to be torn apart.
