"I heard that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was attacked and was seriously ill in bed!"

In the corner of the inn, people were discussing.

"What's going on here? Didn't you feel fine some time ago? Why did you become seriously ill all of a sudden? Didn't you go to Long Ningsi to see the former queen?"

"I heard that I met an assassin on the way back! It was the third highness who did it! The attendants of the second highness went to the third highness to find trouble! Throwing out a token of the third highness, saying The Third Highness sent someone to attack the Second Highness, causing the Second Highness to fall off a cliff and be injured! The Second Highness was already weak, but after such a toss, half of his life was lost! He is still lying on the bed now!"

"The Second Highness was originally a sick child, and he didn't seem to live long! It must be too hard to suffer such a disaster now!"

"Not only that! I also heard that His Majesty was furious about this, so he imprisoned His Highness the Third Highness! This is so strange! That is His Highness the Third Highness!"

"Ouch! Your Highness has never been treated like this before! It seems that His Majesty is really angry this time!"

"Don't tell me, among the three princes, the prince is ignorant, the second prince suffers from long-term illness, and the third prince is healthy and talented. That's why His Majesty has been struggling, wondering whether to change the prince!"

"If the Holy Spirit ascends, it must be His Highness the Third Highness who will inherit the throne!"

"Bah, bah, bah! You can't talk nonsense! Be careful that someone will arrest you. The current crown prince is the son of Empress Li. No matter how powerful the third highness is, he is only born to a concubine after all... Although the second highness is the former The queen's son, but I don't know how long I can live!"

"Okay, don't discuss this between the two of you, lest you get into trouble."

"Hey - we're just talking! Let's break up!"

The man in the market yelled boringly, then left angrily, and ran to another place to continue reciting the same words.

A carriage was turning slowly, and the handsome man inside quietly lifted the curtain, listening to the occasional discussions of suspicious people outside.

"My lord, these people are..."

"Hush." ​​Li Qin calmly silenced Lin Zhu, his eyes signaled his attendants to follow.

The attendant followed the street boy to an alley and beat him up, but he didn't ask who was behind the scenes, nor did he get any clues.

"Master! Don't fight! The little one is just doing things for money, I don't know who asked us to do this!"

Seeing that the guy really didn't know anything, the attendant released him and returned to the carriage.

Li Qin frowned as he listened to the attendant's reply, and couldn't figure out what happened.

A few days ago, the second prince was injured in an attack, and Empress Li made a plan to point the finger at the third prince in order to cause disputes.

It's just...he didn't understand why the Third Prince didn't explain, but let the Holy Majesty confine him.

But secretly, let them prepare for the unexpected.

Seeing that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, I don't know what will happen next.

The carriage leisurely drove towards the governor's mansion, but before it arrived, he heard deafening cries, Li Qin lifted the curtain strangely, watching the governor's mansion in chaos, everyone was crying.

For some reason, I felt a bad feeling in my heart.

Li Qin quickly got out of the car, walked inside, grabbed the guard at the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Weeping and screaming are so noisy.

"Master Assistant! The Governor is dead!"

Li Qin was stunned, as if he had been hit on the chest by something, and he grabbed the servant's skirt in disbelief, "What did you say? What happened!"

"An assassin broke into the governor's room just now... He slashed at the governor's neck, killed him with one blow, and then ran away! He couldn't even catch up!"

The servant was crying and talking, obviously frightened.

"Now, someone has been sent to report to the Holy Majesty! What should we do now! Woooooooo—"

Li Qin's mind went blank, he suddenly pushed the servant in his hand away, and staggered towards the inside.

All the people around were kneeling on the ground and weeping, but Li Qin could no longer hear anything.

Every step was in a trance, and finally came to the governor's room.

Leng Xiurong hugged the person in her arms with a face of despair, as if she was already immersed in her own thoughts, completely unaware of what happened outside.

Han'er next to her was crying and comforting her princess, but it was completely useless.

"elder brother--"

Li Qin stared at the familiar figure in his arms, knelt down tremblingly, and probed the man's breath with his fingers, but he didn't breathe.

Reluctantly, he stretched out his hand to cover the man's chest. There was no heartbeat, and even the temperature began to slowly turn cold.

"What's the matter—why does this happen! Aren't you with him? Why does this happen—"

Impossible, impossible, impossible...

This kind of thing... is impossible!

"Wuuuuu... the princess doesn't know either! Don't blame the princess anymore! It's the county horse who doesn't want to see the princess! By the time we heard the cry for help, the princess had already...already... ..."

Han'er was crying out of breath, her tone full of shock.

Leng Xiurong had already collapsed, holding "Li Yu" in her arms, she suddenly laughed.

Recalling the time with this person, the scenes are replayed in my mind.

"But no one has ever asked if the princess is willing."

"I know, you are a man."

"You have always lived in the route planned for you by others, this time, live for yourself."

"Shen Yixuan is just using you!"

"Are you crazy? I dragged you out of the chessboard with great difficulty, why did you jump back?"

"I can't see a friend die and still be indifferent."

"Xiurong—"

The eerie laughter made people shiver involuntarily.

I regard this person as a treasure, how dare...how dare--

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Princess... Princess, don't scare me... If you are sad, just cry, don't be like this..." Han'er pulled Leng Xiurong's sleeve, trying to calm him down.

But Leng Xiurong was already insane, and couldn't listen to anything.

Not only him, but even Li Qin finally came to his senses, his eyes were cleft, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth. He didn't know what he was thinking, only that the air pressure dropped a few degrees.

——Then I'll call you Li Qin, okay?

——I will protect you.

——Hey, from today onwards, I will be your brother.

——It's all right now.

Lin Zhu knelt beside his young master, not knowing how to comfort him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark thing in the grass next to him, which was particularly eye-catching on the white snow, so he couldn't help picking it up.

That is the shadow token of His Highness the Third Highness.

——Did the Third Highness kill the Young Master?

"This...how is it possible! Young master, look!" Lin Zhu moved the token forward in disbelief and showed it to Li Qin.

Li Qin had seen this token before, but the moment he saw this token, he still froze in disbelief.

Before he could take the token from Lin Zhu, he was snatched by Leng Xiurong.

Leng Xiurong stared at the token, there was no light in her eyes.

Thinking of what Li Yu once said to him, he laughed again, full of bitterness.

"...I should have listened to him."

Shen Yixuan is not a good person in the first place, his actions towards useless pawns and villains who get in the way are surprisingly consistent.

— to kill.

"Li Qin." Leng Xiurong called out, "Would you... cooperate with me?"

Li Qin raised his head, the ferocity in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"...I want it, those people pay the price."

I want, those who killed him, all - to hell!

"Coincidentally, I thought so too—"

All of them, shatter it.

"Hahaha……"

……

Within half a day, the capital was in chaos.

"The young master is dead!"

"What's going on! The Second Highness just had an accident, why even the Young Master died!"

"The young master is the son of the prime minister's mansion and the nephew of the current empress. What kind of person dares to kill him! Is this capital still safe? Could it be that the sky is about to change!"

"I heard that the thief fought against the young master, and the young master resisted to the death and tore off the token of the assassin, which turned out to be the token of the Third Highness!"

"These three highnesses are really vicious! They don't even let the young master off!"

"Just now there are rumors that the Holy Majesty is in a hurry, and now all the imperial physicians are treating you! My God! What a big event is going to happen! If the Third Highness wants to take the opportunity to seize the heir, wouldn't it be—"

"Stop it! It's too scary!"

Inside Mingling Palace.

"Your Highness! People outside are rumoring——"

Shen Yixuan listened to the attendant's report in silence, his fox eyes were calm, without any waves, until he heard the news of Li Yu's death, he paused for a moment, showing an expression of disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"Yes, the young master died, and there was a token left at the scene. It is indeed the token of his subordinates. It is the same as the token that the guard Feng brought when he came to make trouble a few days ago..."

Shen Yixuan frowned, and asked, "What did the person I sent to protect the Young Master do?"

When the attendant heard this, he quickly knelt down, "This...our people didn't have time to make a move to save the young master, and...we didn't catch up to that shadow."

"waste!"

The attendant was frightened by the roar and kowtowed again and again, "Your Highness, calm down! Your Highness, calm down!"

"Didn't Shen Haoran also send someone to protect him, even the people from the Xishu Kingdom stepped up inspections, the three waves of people can't protect even one person!"

This was the first time the attendant saw his highness being so angry, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, and hurriedly shifted the blame.

"Your Highness, forgive me! Your Highness, forgive me! This must be Empress Na Li who wants to blame us! The Second Highness suffered a conspiracy and is still sick in bed. It must be impossible to take care of the Young Master!"

"The Holy Majesty is extremely angry now, and the imperial doctors are still treating them! Some people are going to invite His Highness Leng who is good at treating diseases. The situation is... very unfavorable to us!"

If tonight, the Holy Majesty was assassinated and passed away, the Crown Prince would be able to succeed directly, and Empress Li would be in charge of power, and Shen Yixuan could be directly charged with crimes.

There are already too many trumped-up charges.

"Leng Yuanhan is here, Empress Li should not be so stupid as to poison his eyes."

But Leng Yuanhan is also the prince of another country after all, it is impossible for him to agree to treat the illness of the Holy One.

——What's more, as long as he goes in, he will find that what the Holy One suffers from is not a disease, but a poison.

Therefore, Empress Li probably won't do anything tonight, but...that day is not far away.

I wanted to sit back and watch the changes, so as not to fall into the trap, but I didn't expect that they would be planted one after another.

She wanted to take the dragon seat in advance, so that Shen Yixuan would not have a reasonable name to seize the heir, even if he did, it would be a wrong name and a bad word.

"Heh... Empress Li is here, forcing me to do it?"

I'm afraid those people will act in advance, success or failure... that's all in one fell swoop.

He wants to see how long this woman can continue to make trouble.
