The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

At night, at the end of the Yin hour.

The streets in Shengjing City had long been silent and fell into a deep silence.

I could only vaguely hear rumbling thunder in the sky; a storm was about to come.

Suddenly, a fire broke out in the prison of the capital not far from the city gate, and thick hot smoke billowed. The bailiffs guarding outside the prison were terrified and shouted "Put out the fire" while rushing into the prison with buckets of water.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly! The prisoners inside can't die!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Bring some water and put out the fire!"

"We can't stop! Putting out the fire is urgent! Everyone needs to take action!"

"..."

You know, the criminals imprisoned in the prison are all extremely vicious criminals. We can't let them take the opportunity to escape when there is chaos in the prison...

There was a lot of commotion at the prison. The two teams of imperial guards patrolling in the city noticed it and rushed towards the Jingfu prison.

The guest rooms on the second floor of Luoyang Inn are brightly lit.

Yan Ji stood in front of the window, her beautiful eyes fixed on the fire above the Jingfu prison. She felt a little relieved. Everything was just as General Li Zheng had planned. Soon, her husband would be rescued.

After not seeing each other for so many years, I wonder if Shi Weian still remembers her, the eldest princess.

Yan Ji is waiting.

Seeing the fire burning more and more vigorously, Yan Ji raised her eyebrows, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her beautiful face. Her fingers fell on the edge of the window, tapping it from time to time, and her red lips slightly parted: "If you dare to offend me, there is no need for the Li Kingdom to continue to exist."

I don’t know when my brother will reply to her letter.

She couldn't wait to see the moment when the Emperor of Li became a prisoner.

however--

General Li Zheng, who was highly regarded by Yan Ji, searched almost the entire prison, but failed to find Prince Consort Shi, who was somewhat similar to the portrait in his hand.

This time, Li Zheng took a huge risk to sneak in just to rescue Prince Consort Shi, but at this moment, he couldn't find anyone at all...

Seeing the fire getting closer and closer to the prison, the flames seemed to be about to block the prison door in the middle. At this time, bursts of thick smoke had drifted in. Li Zheng frowned, his whole body was tense, and he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart that something was not good.

It seemed he had fallen into a trap.

The guards following General Li Zheng were a little worried. One of them couldn't help but say, "General, I wonder where the prince consort that the princess mentioned is being held. If we don't leave now, we may never get out!"

When they set the fire, they had already calculated the time. It would not take much time to enter the prison and find someone. By the time the fire really broke in, they might have already left.

Everyone thought that they would be able to complete the task assigned by the princess quickly, but at this time, they realized that man proposes, God disposes, and things were not as simple as they imagined.

Before he finished speaking, he heard another person take over the conversation and said in a hurried tone: "Yes, General, Xiao San'er is right. Why don't we escape first and then have a good discussion?"

General Li Zheng looked at the brothers who had been following him. He pursed his lips, his face was a little pale, and he said in a calm voice: "We have fallen into a trap."

As soon as these words were spoken, many guards panicked.

"what?"

"What on earth do you mean by that, General?"

"What do you mean by falling into a trap? Didn't we send people in to investigate during the day?"

"General, say something!"

"Could it be that the princess's consort is not in the prison of the capital at all!?"

"clap clap"

A burst of applause suddenly rang out amid the noisy discussions, which seemed very abrupt. The leader of the imperial guards, Tang Shu, walked out slowly from the darkness. "Among so many people, there is finally someone who has some brains."

That day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, and the Emperor sent Tang Shu to investigate thoroughly to find out who had attacked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It took Tang Shu a whole day to finally find out that one group of assassins was sent by the eldest prince. As for the other group of assassins, he could only find out from the bows and arrows that fell on the ground that those arrows seemed to have some relationship with the State of Yan.

After handing over the results of the investigation to His Majesty, Tang Shu thought he could rest for two days. However, as soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace today, he had a new task -

He came to the capital's prison as a prisoner, waiting for his chance.

Unexpectedly, he could actually guard against a few ferocious "rabbits" tonight.

You can also see that they are like headless flies, looking everywhere, but in the end they can't find anything.

"Who are you!?"

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Zheng narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous look flashed across his eyes. He stared at the other party, his face gradually darkened: "It seems that you have already made a plan."

Xiao San'er bared his teeth and said fiercely: "Don't be afraid, General. He is only one person, and we are so many. Let's just kill him first and then escape!"

"What a loud tone!"

Tang Shu suddenly laughed.

He looked forward, his dark eyes reflected a flame, and the smell of smoke was not pleasant. Tang Shu said lightly: "Even if you kill me, you can't get out, right?"

"Unless you are not afraid of being burned."

Li Zheng and the others' expressions changed slightly.

As he spoke, Tang Shu casually pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist. He lowered his head and blew it gently, "Why don't you explain first, who are you, why did you set fire, and break into the Beijing prison?"

In Li Zheng's opinion, the current situation is indeed very tricky.

It's a dilemma.

However, the man standing in front of them seemed to be someone special. If they could hold him hostage...

"Do it, take him down!"

Li Zheng gave the order.

The guards listened to the order and responded quickly: "Yes, General!"

"Just you?"

Tang Shu's tone was sarcastic.

Seeing the guards rushing towards him with swords in hand, Tang Shu stood still without panicking. He was heard shouting towards a certain place in the cell: "Why don't you bastards come out? Do you want to watch the show?"

Li Zheng seemed to have noticed it and quickly said, "Quick, retreat!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

An arrow appeared out of nowhere, pierced through Xiao San'er's heart at lightning speed, and nailed to the pillar behind him.

There was a "bang" sound.

Xiao San'er suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"Xiao San'er!"

"Xiao San'er!"

The Yan State's guards suddenly fell into chaos.

All the "prisoners" who were originally in the jail stood up, holding bows and arrows in their hands.

Those arrows were all aimed at the Yan State guards.

Seeing this situation, what could the Yan State guards not understand?

Just as General Li Zheng said, they fell into a trap!

The people of Li State had long been hiding in the prison to ambush them, but they knew nothing about it and foolishly fell into the trap set by the Emperor of Li State...

Tang Shu sneered: "Take them all down!"

"Yes, leader!"

The imperial guards dressed in the clothes of death row prisoners responded in unison.

At the same time, the fire outside the prison had been put out, leaving only a mess.

Most of the people in the city were awakened and were talking about it.

……

I saw the faint dawn light rising in the sky, but after nearly a night, there was still no sign of General Li Zheng and the others, and the fire in the prison in the capital had long been extinguished.

Yan Ji, who had been standing in front of the window and had not slept all night, felt her heart sinking and her whole body was cold.

Yan Ji didn’t dare to imagine what kind of accident would happen to General Li Zheng.

Yan Ji closed the window, put on her cloak, and was about to walk towards the door.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the room, which seemed to be mixed with the voices of her maids and Tamu.

I felt very panicked when I heard the voices of those maids.

Yan Ji had a cold face and walked forward to open the door. She was about to say something scolding, but when she saw the situation outside the room, Yan Ji swallowed her words back.

Yan Ji raised her eyebrows and stared at the newcomers coldly: "Who are you?"

All the princess' maids stood on the other side, while the Yan envoy Tamu hid behind the Yan guards.

Although Yan Ji brought a thousand guards with her to the capital this time, Luoyang Inn could not accommodate a thousand people. So, Yan Ji asked the other guards who could not accommodate them to find a spacious courtyard to rent first.

The large courtyard was not far from Luoyang Inn and could accommodate more than 800 people.

This time, General Li Zheng led his men to break into the Beijing prison, and they selected guards from that large courtyard.

“It doesn’t matter who I am.”

Tang Shu said indifferently: "The important thing is that Princess Yan can enter the palace as she wished."

After locking up those Yan people, Tang Shu received an order from the emperor and brought a team of imperial guards to Luoyang Inn to invite the eldest princess of Yan to enter the palace.

Tang Shu: "Princess Yan, please don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

Yan Ji's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly guessed that what happened next might no longer be under her control.

As the eldest princess of Yan State, her every move outside can represent Yan State. Naturally, she would not be frightened so easily by the imperial guards of Li State.

Similarly, Yan Ji was certain that the Emperor of Li would not dare to do anything to her.

Yan Ji flicked her sleeves and snorted coldly: "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to the palace."

Tang Shu: "No need, Princess Yan, please move, there is a carriage outside."

Yan Ji: “…”

How could she, a princess of Yan, ride in a carriage of Li?

Seeing that the maids and guards were all standing still like wood, Yan Ji frowned and angrily kicked one of the maids, "Are they all dead? You dare not even listen to my orders?"

The maid was kicked out defenselessly and fell to the ground with a pale face.

Seeing this, the other maids immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, Princess. I will go and prepare the sedan chair..."

Tang Shu frowned, and drew his sword from his waist instantly, holding it in front of Yan Ji. He said expressionlessly, "Princess Yan, please move outside and get on the carriage. Don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

"If Princess Yan refuses to cooperate, then I can only use other means to make Princess Yan cooperate."

The last sentence was Tang Shu’s threat.

Yan Ji heard it: "How dare you!?"

"Princess Yan, this is Shengjing of Li, not the capital of Yan."

Tang Shu said calmly.

"you--"

Yan Ji's face changed and she wanted to say something harsh, but Tang Shu was no pushover and had no patience to continue wasting time here with the Princess of Yan.

He came here on orders, and everything was based on the emperor. In Tang Shu's eyes, a princess of Yan State was nothing.

Tang Shu: "Princess Yan, please think carefully about this."

Yan Ji: “…”

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and Yan Ji had to step back first. She stared at Tang Shu with a sinister look and said in a deep voice: "Tamu, let's go into the palace."

In addition to Tamu, Yan Ji also brought her eight maids and all the Yan State guards.

However, the Yan State guards were not allowed to enter the palace, they could only guard outside the palace gate.

Two carriages slowly left the door of Luoyang Inn, and behind the carriages was a guard team of nearly a thousand people.

The crowd marched towards the palace in a mighty procession.

At this hour, there were not many people strolling on the street. When they saw so many Yan guards passing by them, they all whispered to each other, wanting to know what had happened.

As a result, the incident of the fire in the Beijing prison was brought up.

……

At one o'clock in the morning, in the court.

The Emperor of Li sat on the throne with an expressionless face. His eyes were cold as he casually swept over the ministers below.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince were all present.

The third prince Xie Ning was born with a limp, and precisely because of this, the emperor felt a little more pity for him and could not bear to let him work too hard, so he only let him serve as a secretary in the Hanlin Academy, which was a relatively leisurely position.

However, the Third Prince usually behaves very low-key. Apart from the official duties assigned by the Emperor, the Third Prince rarely steps out of the mansion.

"Your Majesty, there was a fire in the prison in the capital last night, and a group of arsonists were caught. During my interrogation, one of the arsonists claimed to be General Li Zheng of the State of Yan..."

Lord Tang, who was in charge of the capital, stepped out first. He sighed softly, frowning, "I don't know whether this is true or not. Your Majesty, please let me know."

"Is there such a thing?!"

The Emperor of Li Kingdom's expression changed slightly, and he shouted sternly: "How dare this man set fire to the capital under the feet of the emperor? Does he want to destroy my Shengjing?"

Lord Tang quickly agreed, saying righteously: "Your Majesty is right. The arsonist has ulterior motives and is definitely not a general from the State of Yan!"

"I heard that the Princess of Yan is in Shengjing City. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to send someone to invite the Princess of Yan to come so that she can recognize the people?"

Everyone in the court was silent.

In fact, the ministers had already known the emperor's plan for a long time, and none of them wanted to say a word, just waiting to see what Lord Tang would do.

"Tang Aiqing is right."

The Emperor of Li nodded slightly and gave Eunuch You a look: "Ask the Princess of Yan to enter the palace."

Eunuch You nodded and said loudly: "Send——"

"The Princess of Yan enters the palace—"

The door of the Golden Throne Hall, which had been tightly closed, was opened again.

Yan Ji, wearing the palace dress of the eldest princess of Yan State, walked in slowly.

Following behind Yan Ji was Tamu.

Behind the two of them was General Li Zheng, who was tied up tightly with ropes.
