It wasn't like this in my last life

It was getting late, and the servant dragged a corpse, avoiding people and heading towards the cold palace.He remembered that there was a well there, which had been abandoned for a long time, and the corpses were thrown there, and the custodian didn't know it.The night breeze was cool, and the maids and eunuchs who kept watch at night in each palace dimmed the lights.Walking on the path where you can't see your fingers, the servant's heart is beating loudly.

Fortunately, the well was not too far away. He threw the body aside and reached out to lift the stones on the well.It's really heavy. I heard that there are not ten but eight palace maids who die inside every year, so I sealed the mouth of the well on purpose.I don't want to be really unlucky today, and I have to get the stone down.

While moving, the servant was thinking, as long as this matter is done, he can be regarded as registered with King Jing, and when King Jing ascends the throne, he will be able to rise steadily from now on.Thinking about it this way, the timidity in my heart dissipated immediately, and it really moved the stone down for him.

Looking back again, I was frightened and stupid. Where is the corpse?

He groped around, even the back of the well, but he couldn't see the body.In the middle of the night, why did the good-looking corpse disappear?Could it be... a fraudulent corpse?

He took a deep breath, and when his crotch became hot, he peed out of fear, and he didn't dare to scream, and even crawled and rolled away.After he walked away, two figures emerged from the dog hole in the corner and quietly disappeared into the night.

On the second day, Princess Xinhui's accompanying guards and maidservants were suddenly seriously ill, and died not long after.The young eunuchs counted at random and then they were dragged out, which would cause infection and they were set on fire.

At this time, Prince Jing didn't know that he had left himself in a big trouble. He was worrying about the matter that Concubine Jing had entrusted to him.

The doorman suggested, "Since Prince Gong is hiding in the mansion and can't come out, let's just burn the mansion down. It's best to burn people to death. If you can't burn them to death, you can force people out. Then we can arrange assassination."

Seeing that King Jing was deep in thought and remained silent, another member of the sect also persuaded: "I heard that the crown prince has borrowed [-] troops from King Zhenxi, and they have already come to the capital. In charge of the guards of the capital, this person has long sleeves, is good at dancing, is exquisite in all directions, and is very slick. If we show any signs of weakness, this person will definitely fall to the prince's side immediately. Therefore, the most urgent thing is to deal with the matter of Prince Gong as soon as possible, so that you can free up your hands to fight the prince .”

Prince Jing finally stopped hesitating, "That's the matter. We'll arrange some good people to handle it. There can be no mistakes in this matter."

"Yes."

Speaking of the prince, Prince Jing thought of the family of the prince's adoptive parents who had been imprisoned before, "Hasn't the Song family's second child appeared yet?"

The people below hesitated, "Not found yet."

Prince Jing squeezed the finger on his thumb and gritted his teeth, "Then don't worry about it. When the prince's army attacks the city, throw the Song family out first. I want to see if our prince is really like the one in the legend. Like love and righteousness. Watch out for me, if something goes wrong, this king is the only one who asks you."

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was being missed by others, was joining up with Song Dan's team who had received the signal.Songdan brought 5000 vanguards, although there were only 5000, they were all cavalry, and they could definitely fight two against one when attacking the city.

"If you take these people out, what happened to Qiliang?"

Song Dan nodded slightly, "The people your Highness sent to investigate came back to report. As expected, the Yue Kingdom tried a little bit, and Qiliang's army immediately overwhelmed them. It can be seen that they were not the main force in Dingxi, and they did not He doesn't intend to start a war with us in Dingxi, it's just a bluff."

Song Xi sneered, "Then hit me hard, until they reach their capital."

"Yes." The lieutenant led the order and left.

Song Badai patted him, "This is not a place to talk. It's getting late, and this place is not far from the capital. Do you want to continue on your way or spend the night here?"

Song Xi glanced at it, saw that the terrain here was flat, and there were trees as a natural barrier, so he said: "Let's rest for a night, and continue on the road tomorrow, and we can enter the city just before dark." He raised his hand, "Give me an order , and set up camp on the spot.”

After being resettled, Song Dan took his bodyguards to hunt in the forest, and they harvested a lot. Several cows and two sheep were slaughtered on the spot, which was regarded as an extra meal for the soldiers below.He only kept two pheasants, boiled them to remove their feathers, cleaned the inner mansion, wiped them with salt and a little honey milk, roasted them until they were golden and golden, and the skin was crispy and smooth. After a meal.

While eating, there was a sudden commotion outside, Song Dan came out to look, and the guards pushed a man up, saying it was a sneaky spy nearby.

Song Dan glanced at it, then frowned, "I'll take care of it, you all go down."

After the soldiers went down, he untied them, and said in a bad tone, "Why did the princess come here alone late at night? It's tens of miles away from the capital."

"This is the army of His Highness the Crown Prince, right? I knew it...you let me in, I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince." Princess Xinhui had a pale face, looking a little crazy.

Song Dan was hesitating when Song Xi's voice came over, "Let her in."

As soon as Princess Xinhui entered, even Song Badai gasped. Her originally delicate face was covered with dust and filth, and there was even blood oozing from her forehead. The instinct of a doctor made him slow down his tone. , "The princess is injured?"

Princess Xinhui burst into tears when she heard the words.

There were no maids to accompany them during the march, and the three big men looked at each other. In the end, it was Song Badai who boiled hot water and left her wound medicine, "Groom up and get some medicine. Let's go out and wait."

After a stick of incense, Princess Xinhui finally calmed down, and the four of them sat down again, and she told the whole story.When she was about to die, she couldn't help crying again, "I was just out of breath and suffocated for a while, but the eunuch wanted to sink my dead body to the bottom of the well. Thanks to my maid who came out to look for me, after she found out, she would I got out."

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, Song Xi was very curious about her motives alone, "Since the princess is out of danger, why don't you leave the city and return to Zhenxi Wangfu as soon as possible, why did you come to me?"

Princess Xinhui's eyes turned red, and she knelt down immediately, "I know, because of me, the father and His Highness have already had a grudge. This time I came to look for Your Highness, in order to make up for one or two things, I beg His Majesty to forgive my father. Sin." She raised her head with resentment in her eyes, "Secondly, it's for revenge..."

How much I loved at the beginning, how much I hate now.

Princess Xinhui was obviously planning how to get revenge along the way. Although what she said was confusing, it was logical.

"You rest first, we will talk about this tomorrow."

The general's account was left to Princess Xinhui, and Song Xi, Song Badai, and Song Dan changed the other.

"Is her word believable?" Song Badai spoke first.

Song Dan and Song Xi looked at each other, "Looking at her expression, there are eight out of ten. But it's not urgent. Didn't she say that her maidservant had already heard about it, and Concubine Jing ordered Prince Jing to deal with Prince Gong? If the prince sends a letter, he should pay him back the favor of protecting the Song family, and we can also see if what Xinhui said is true or not."

So that night, Prince Gong standing in the study had an extra knife on his desk, and the knife and the letter were shot into his study.After reading the letter, Prince Gong rubbed his nose. It seemed that Prince Jing's stumbling block was a little less, but Concubine Jing finally had some brains.

Is it an assassination again?

Prince Gong smiled, called the guards to give instructions, and soon disguised himself and left the mansion. It seemed that it was time to have a talk with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In the early morning of the second day, without disturbing Prince Jing's guards, Prince Gong quietly left the mansion with his guards, and left the city. He rode fast all the way, and walked for nearly two hours before reaching Song Xi's army.Dare to ask him out like this, are you really so confident that you don't take him seriously?

"Order, let's rest where we are." Seeing him, Song Xi waved his hand.Approaching on horseback, the two looked at each other, making no secret of their respective ambitions.

"Where's Xiao Ba?" Prince Gong provoked first.

Song Xi had a good time, "He's still asleep, he was exhausted after a whole night of tossing around."

The words were not speculative, and the two turned their faces away from each other.

Song Dan clasped his fists, "What is the prince's purpose here?"

Only then did Prince Gong look at Song Xi again, and took a step closer, "The crown prince reported to me, I thought His Highness had something to say."

Song Xi gave him a squinting look, "You and I know it well."

Prince Gong smiled, "Ming people don't speak dark words. Since His Highness is straightforward, I will also say that I don't want to be your enemy, no matter it is for Xiao Ba's sake or for the sake of the people of the world. Presumably His Highness is also the same." Think about it? Now I just want to hear His Highness's thoughts, whether to fight or not, it all depends on His Highness's words."

Song Xi took a deep breath and said after a while, "Xiao Ba wants to go back to seclusion with me."

"Is Your Highness showing off?"

Song Xi finally smiled, making this decision was not as difficult as he imagined, "Get lost."

While talking, suddenly a fast horse came galloping ahead, "My lord..."

Prince Gong turned his head, "What's wrong?"

The guard got off his horse and saluted, "The house is on fire."

Prince Gong's face suddenly changed, "Which position?"

"From, it started burning from the study." The guard was still explaining, "The prince immediately caught fire. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time, and there were no casualties. It was the things in the study..."

study!

His portrait, the only portrait of him left in the world!

Prince Gong had a gloomy face, and flew far away with a flick of his horsewhip, "Zong Jue! Very good, very good!" The guards didn't hear the words clearly, and shivered for a while without coming—the prince seemed to be a different person. Bad luck!
