A lot of ice cubes were placed in the mourning hall, and when I walked in from the heat, I felt a chill all over my body, and I couldn't help shaking.

In the evening, it was dark.

The curtains fluttered, the room was white, and the coffin was placed in the middle.

Everything looked so horrible.

The prince's family, from wives and concubines to children, knelt on the edge to keep the spirit.

As the eldest son, the eldest grandson of the emperor welcomes everyone who comes to worship.

After all, the prince is not the emperor, so his funeral can't be done according to the standards of the emperor.

Gu Jiu worshipped with incense and performed the salute of the younger generation.

He said to the eldest grandson, Please mourn!

The emperor's eldest grandson, Liu Cheng, bowed slightly, Brother and sister have a heart.

Gu Jiu didn't want to stay any longer, so he left on his own after worshipping. Cry again tomorrow.

Leaving the mourning hall, the heat hits.

The body that had just cooled down became hot again, sweating profusely.

But everyone was happy.

In the mourning hall, the coolness is cool, but it is gloomy and has an ominous atmosphere.

The look in the eyes of the prince's family makes people feel panicked.

The family finally survived.

Ouyang Fu rubbed her arms, looking a little scared.

She murmured to Gu Jiu, I didn't expect that the prince would leave so suddenly, which caught everyone off guard.

Gu Jiu nodded, Yes, it was too sudden.

Maybe someone has long predicted that this day will be someone in the mourning hall?

The two came to one of the halls in the northeast corner of the palace, where Prince Ning and Mrs Pei lived.

They washed up first, changed out of their smelly clothes soaked in sweat, and went to visit the prince and princess in a comfortable manner.

Free gift!

Shi Pei called out, Have you all gone to the mourning hall to worship?

Gu Jiu nodded,

I have already worshipped. I will go to cry tomorrow.

Pei shi urged: In the next few days, you all should be careful, talk less and do less. If something goes wrong, this princess may not be able to protect you.

Ouyang Fu jumped, Mother, is the situation serious?

Pei Shi sternly asked, What do you think?

The prince died, and died before the will of the abolished prince was issued, can this be a trivial matter?

In the past few days, people are panicking up and down the palace, and everyone has a small abacus, which is beating loudly.

In addition, Jin Wuwei wanted to hunt down his fellow assassins, and the entire palace had reached the point of being in a state of turmoil.

Pei Shi looked at King Ning, Your Highness, please say a few words too.

In the past few days, King Ning was in a very bad mood, and his temper was also very short-tempered.

He was a little impatient, Say what? What else is there to say now.

When he thought that the emperor missed the prince every day, and talked about the prince every day, he almost died of anger.

The prince is really too treacherous. Even his death was so planned and tactful that it was enough to make a flowery article.

It doesn't matter if he died, what matters is that the emperor's mentality has changed accordingly. It seems that he regrets that he was too harsh on the prince in the past, and said that he took advantage of the prince.

What is even more disturbing is that in just a few days, the emperor has summoned the eldest grandson several times in a row, and every time he must say something about a cup of tea.

Moreover, he also rewarded the Crown Princess Sun, and praised her diligence and frugality.

God what does this mean?

The prince is dead, will he turn to hold the East Palace?

The most disturbing thing is that the prince is dead, but the establishment of the East Palace is still there.

The prince is gone, so what do you still keep the East Palace for?

Why didn't the prince's family move out of the East Palace immediately?

The East Palace without the prince is still prosperous, which is a dangerous signal.

Because there is no prince, there is still the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Because of these things, King Ning couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few days, and the cool Beimang Mountain Palace couldn't quench his anger.

He was anxious to get angry in his mouth, and several fire blisters grew, which made him uncomfortable.

He waved at Gu Jiu and the others, Let's all step back, do what you have to do according to the rules, don't cause trouble.

Gu Jiu pondered for a while, Excuse me, the father and the mother, have you seen my son recently?

Pei shi frowned: Are you confused, Zhao'er is locked in Zongzheng Temple, and this princess is in the palace, how can I see him?

Gu Jiu remained calm and looked at King Ning.

Mr. Pei didn't know, and it was impossible for King Ning to not know.

King Ning said with a blank face: When you should see him, you will. Go back to the room and rest, don't think about it.

Pei hurriedly asked, My lord, what's going on? Did the edict be released? Why didn't I know?

There are so many things you don't know, so please don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

King Ning was beating Pei Shi and Gu Jiu as well. Remind Gu Jiu not to talk nonsense.

Gu Jiu knew in his heart that King Ning really knew the inside story, but he refused to say it.

She got up, bowed and bowed, My daughter-in-law will follow the teachings of the king.

Back in the room, the maids were all worried.

Qingmei asked, Madam, will you be alright, my son.

Gu Jiu shook his head, It should be fine. It is estimated that His Majesty arranged some errand for him.

She didn't want to say more, and looked out the window, feeling the slightly strange atmosphere of the palace.

King Ning returned to the dormitory, still feeling restless. Walk around the house.

Chang En waited by his side, wanting to persuade, not knowing where to start.

King Ning asked, Is there any news from Shizhong Wu?

Chang En shook his head, Wu Shizhong has not heard any news for two days.

Ning Wang bared his teeth, Wu's surnamed Wu would not be a picky one halfway through.

Chang En did not dare to answer.

King Ning slammed his fist on the table, Is there any news from the eldest son?

Chang En nodded, The eldest son has already led people to take down all the people in Xinfeng County, and is escorting them back to the capital.

King Ning kicked the stool over.

This king has worked hard to plan for many years. Seeing that the dust has settled, the result is that he was defeated by an assassin. Although the prince died, he turned his back on death. This king knows that the prince should not be underestimated. It is said that a dog that bites does not bark. Don't deceive me.

Chang En reminded King Ning, My lord, all officials above the seventh rank of the East Palace will be buried for the crown prince. What should be done about this matter?

King Ning snorted coldly, Those people will die if they die, and if they don't succeed, they can't fail. It's a waste of food to live.

What a great opportunity for the chaos in Xinfeng County.

With the cooperation of Wu Shizhong, this time, the prince can be brought down 100%. They considered everything and planned everything, but they did not plan the variable of the prince.

Thinking that the prince was a puppet, he was powerless to resist. Unexpectedly, the prince was determined to beg for death and turned the tables with death.

Deceiving too much.

Damn assassin!

Where did the assassin come from?

If it weren't for the assassin's death, King Ning would really break the assassin's corpse into ten thousand pieces, which would be bad for him.

King Ning asked, Do you have any clues to track down the assassin?

My lord, the assassin came to the palace ten years ago as an errand. He has been diligent and diligent in his duties, and did not find any abnormality. Therefore, he was only ordered to serve at Ganquan Palace. I didn't expect this honest man to be an assassin.

That's all, nothing else? King Ning was very dissatisfied.

After checking for so many days, I checked this thing out, and I was incompetent.

Chang En lowered his head and said, The old man who recommended the assassin to work in the palace passed away last year. People familiar with the assassin have also passed away one after another in the past ten years. There is no one familiar with the assassin in the palace. matter.

This is the problem! King Ning slammed his fist on the table, They were prepared, so in the past ten years, they have used various means to cut off all the familiar people around the assassin. A few years ago, the planning and planning started. Is it possible that there is really a strength to kill the father and emperor?

Speaking of this, King Ning shuddered.

Could it be that there is really a gang of traitors lurking in the palace who are waiting for the opportunity to murder the emperor?

Who wants to murder the emperor?

Empress Ruizhen Cui?

No no no!

If Empress Ruizhen Cui really arranged all this, why didn't she do it while she was alive?

Doesn't she know that as soon as the emperor dies, the prince can justifiably inherit the throne?

King Ning screened suspicious people one by one.

For a time, he saw that everyone felt suspicious, but he could find reasons to refute.

King Ning was suspicious, and even suspected that someone wanted to kill him.

He immediately ordered, Su Wei's bodyguards have doubled, and they will do the same in the future.

Chang En was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly arranged it.

Looking at the number of guards outside, King Ning was still a little uneasy.

You have to quickly find the person behind the assassin, otherwise this king will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Is your lord thinking too much?

This king also hopes that he thinks more, but this time the assassin's affairs are too strange and there are too many coincidences. Sometimes this king can't help but wonder if the prince arranged all this, and deliberately fulfilled his life with death. Selfish.

If the prince really arranged all this, then there is no need for him to die.

Yeah! That's why this king felt that his idea was too absurd. The prince really had the courage to arrange an assassination, so he didn't have to block the assassin, and he didn't have to die. Afterwards, as long as one side of the Beijing camp was on his side, he would The identity of the prince can be successfully enthroned.

Based on this idea, King Ning denied the speculation that the assassin was related to the East Palace.

Tossing and turning all night, when the sky was about to dawn, the thunder roared, and it started to rain in an instant.

After so many hot days, it finally rained.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This rain, like a signal, relieved everyone's tense nerves.

In any case, the prince is always dead.

After so many years of planning, although the ending is not satisfactory, it can be regarded as a goal.

Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to the mourning hall with an umbrella and cried with everyone.

The prince's family members were all haggard and bloodshot in their eyes. Apparently, I haven't slept well these days.

The monks did things to save the prince.

Incense candles burn, the smoke lingers, making it hard to breathe.

Gu Jiu's heart was calm, kneeling on the futon, listening to the chanting.

Taoists are also doing things for the prince.

Monks, Taoists, do not interfere with each other, each do their own thing.

Gu Jiu inadvertently saw the third son of the East Palace kneeling behind the emperor's eldest grandson.

The third son of the East Palace is from the side concubine, and is the most favorite of the prince.

The Wei San girl of the Zhuguo Gongfu was accused of marrying the third son of the East Palace.

However, now that the prince has passed away, can the marriage between Wei San and the third son of the East Palace continue?

In the past, when the prince was still alive, the third son of the East Palace relied on his favor, so he could compete with the eldest grandson and the second son.

Now that the prince has passed away, even the side concubine has to rely on the breath of the prince concubine Sun, so what can the third prince do?

I'm afraid this marriage will not come to pass.

It's just that Duke Zhu's government wants to break off the marriage, and it's not that easy.

Especially now, the emperor's attitude has changed, and he is especially kind to the East Palace.

Wei San will continue to suffer.

As for Miss Cui, who was accused of marrying the second son of the East Palace, her situation was much better than Miss Wei San.

After all, the second son is a direct descendant, and he has the crown prince's concubine Sun's family and the Sun family as his backers, so he is much stronger than the third son of the East Palace.

Gu Jiu thought wildly, wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief from time to time.

Ginger juice was smeared on the handkerchief, and when it touched the corner of my eyes, tears kept coming out of my eyes. It looked like she was crying very sadly.

During the noon break, Gu Jiu was too tired to eat.

In the big summer, funerals are held, the dead are hard, and the living are even harder.

She found an unmanned wing, and was going to rest for an hour, so that she could recharge her strength and continue in the afternoon.

She was a little dizzy, probably stimulated by the smoke of the incense candle.

She rubbed her brows and opened the window halfway. Inadvertently, she saw an acquaintance.

An acquaintance who almost died together, Fang Shaojian.

Fang Shaojian also noticed Gu Jiu.

The two looked at each other, neither of them said a word, nor did they make any extra moves.

Fang Shaojian suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and showed Gu Jiu a smile that was not a smile.

Gu Jiu frowned.

She felt that Fang Shaojian had bad intentions.

Fang Shaojian walked straight to the wing.

Gu Jiu settled down and ordered someone to guard the door.

Fang Shaojian walked into the wing, We met again. Now it's time to call you Mrs. Zhao.

Fang Shaojian is a rare guest, please take a seat.

Fang Shaojian sat opposite Gu Jiu.

Fang Shaojian's complexion has improved a lot, and his body is fine. Gu Jiu pretended to be concerned.

Fang Shaojian nodded, Mrs. Laizhao is worried, our family's body has recovered.

Gu Jiu poured the tea himself, I heard that you are working in the East Palace now, and the prince passed away, please mourn.

Fang Shaojian took the teacup, Mrs. Zhao does not mean to be sad when she mentions His Royal Highness.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and asked, Then are you going to file a complaint?

Fang Shaojian shook his head slowly, Many people say that His Royal Highness died in the right place. The people in the East Palace should not be sad, they should be happy. If the Prince hadn't passed away, how could hundreds of people in the East Palace survive.

Fang Shaojian doesn't need to test me, I won't say a word of extra words. Gu Jiu pointed it out directly.

Fang Shaojian shook his head, Our family is not testing Mrs. Zhao.

Gu Jiu looked at Fang Shaojian with a half-smile, You and I stand opposite each other, you say, can I trust you? Or should I ask, do you trust me?

Fang Shaojian stared at Gu Jiu, Mrs. Zhao's suspicion is getting worse.

Gu Jiu snorted, My other party is less to supervise you, but he is very afraid.

Why are you afraid?

Because you are a man with a big strategy and a ruthless heart. I'm afraid it's in your hands, and I don't even know how to die.

Fang Shaojian narrowed his eyes, and there was an unidentified light flashing in his eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, he restrained his emotions again, and his face was calm, Greet me the Young Master Zhao.

Gu Jiu nodded slightly, It must be brought.

Do you have anything else to say? Fang Shaojian seemed to have unfinished words.

Gu Jiu shook his head, Tao is different and not mutually exclusive.

Fang Shaojian shook his head, Actually, it's all for survival.

Gu Jiu pointed at him, You have lived enough.

Fang Shaojian wanted to laugh, but found the timing was not right. The palace is having a funeral, how can he laugh.

He shook his head, Whether a person has enough to live does not depend on his age. The damned person will die naturally when the time comes. This is true for the old man, and the same is true for the young boy. Tell Gongzi Zhao, I will wait for him.

Gu Jiu frowned.

Fang Shaojian did not explain, got up and left.

Gu Jiu stood by the window and watched him leave.

Fang Shaojian and Liu Zhao, what's the entanglement between the two?

Mammy Fang stood behind Gu Jiu, Madam, Shaojian Fang should not be underestimated. This man has fought against Jianzheng for most of his life, and he is still alive and well, which shows that his ability is extraordinary.

Gu Jiu nodded, I know, I have already experienced his power.

Fang Shaojian has no children or daughters, no family, and is not very greedy for money. It seems that he can't find any weakness in his whole body.

Gu Jiu shook his head, How can a person live in the world without any desires and ideas. Fang Shaojian is no exception. He also has his own weaknesses, but it is difficult for ordinary people to find them.

Fang Shaojian's weakness is his ambition.

If he is really loyal and loyal, when the prince dies, he should make it clear that he will die.

Yet he did not die.

After he was sad, he rekindled his fighting spirit.

He wants to assist the eldest grandson of the emperor to be the grandson of the emperor, and then ascend the throne and become emperor.

Such big ambitions and desires, isn't this a rare weakness?

If Fang Shaojian was not allowed to display his talents for the rest of his life, he would probably die of suffocation.

Gu Jiu smiled.

In this game, Fang Shaojian won by half.

But the next round, the result is unknown.
