witch chaotic country

Chapter 697

Looking at the flustered King Pengcheng, Jiuxi felt very disdainful.But it was just such a small matter, so he was at a loss, and Liu Song's court really had no successors.

But on the surface, she just smiled lightly and said: "Why do you need to be worried? Isn't the seed already planted? Now it's just up to you, whether you dare to pour a ladle of water on this seed, so that it will bloom and bear fruit."

King Pengcheng's eyes widened, hesitantly said: "I mean the prince..."

Jiu Xi smiled slightly, "Who else can there be besides him? Killing two birds with one stone, the prince can not only get rid of the Tan family, but also move one step closer to the ninety-five position."

King Pengcheng was still a little hesitant, "Is...is the time ripe? This king has not fully grasped the palace. If we launch an attack in advance at this time, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor."

"So what about jealousy?" Jiuxi asked back: "Without the prince, without Tan Daoji, he is a dying man, even if he sees through the ambition of the prince, so what can he do? It’s all for you to ascend the throne, my lord.”

King Pengcheng seemed to be awakened by Jiuxi suddenly. Yes, although he was not allowed to do whatever he wanted in the palace, the courtiers had already looked forward to him.As long as the prince is removed and Tan Daoji's military power is removed, the emperor brother will have nothing to contend with himself!

Jiuxi noticed the change in King Pengcheng's expression, and said again: "There is not much time left for the prince to make a decision. The emperor is so eager to send someone to summon, Tan Daoji is afraid that he will leave Beijing soon. If the tiger is released today, he will It will be even more difficult if I try to capture it again in the future.”

King Pengcheng slapped the desk when he heard the words, "Okay! That's what my concubine said! Whether it succeeds or not depends on tonight!"

Only now did Jiuxi show a satisfied smile, "Your Highness is wise. I'm going to make arrangements for my Highness now."

Two hours later, there was a sound of slight but hasty footsteps in the Eastern Palace, which had already entered the night.

The maid, Wang Parrot, carefully avoided the patrolling Habayashi guards in the palace, bypassed the servants and maidservants in the front hall, and arrived at the door of the prince's bedroom.

She gently knocked on the door panel three times, and then knocked it three times after a while, and the door of the bedroom opened a crack, revealing Prince Liu Shao's face.Liu Shao looked around to make sure no one saw him, and then he turned sideways to let Wang Parrot in.

Wang Parrot had just entered the room, before he even had time to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, he was dragged in by Liu Shao, asking as he walked, "How? Did you find out? Are the rumors true?"

Wang Parrot nodded, and whispered in Liu Shao's ear, "The emperor did indeed ask General Tan to invite a miracle doctor, the same miracle doctor who saved the Seventh Prince."

Hearing this, Liu Shao, instead of being happy because his father's condition was saved, fell down on the ground, "It's over...it's over for being lonely..."

Wang Parrot sighed, although she was sent by Jiuxi to Liu Shao, but Liu Shao treated her well, seeing that Liu Shao's heart was ashamed at this time, he couldn't help being moved with compassion.

She squatted in front of Liu Shao and advised in a low voice, "Prince, don't worry, even if the emperor recovers from illness, you are still the prince."

"Prince? Prince!?" Liu Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that as long as you haven't ascended the throne, the name Prince is just a nice title! Ever since the matter of Aunt Huang... Father has rarely summoned you. Alone..."

The more Liu Shao spoke, the more desperate he became. He circled his knees and wrapped his arms tightly around his own legs, "Father must have been disappointed in Gu. Who would want a prince with a bad moral character?"

Wang Parrot sighed, "Perhaps you are overthinking the prince. Didn't the emperor already deal with Princess Yuzhang Kangchang? Besides, you were deceived in this matter, and it's not true...the real relationship with Yuzhang Kangchang The princess has her own troubles."

"At this time, at that time..." Liu Shao shook his head, "Father now has only one adult prince, so naturally he will not abolish the orphan easily. But as you can see, more and more princes are born in the palace. The emperor has just been able to speak, and he has already listened to his mother and concubine reciting "The Analects of Confucius" every day. If the father's illness is really cured, in another ten years... where will there be a shelter for the lonely?!"

Wang Parrot heard the words and squeezed the thing hidden in the cuff, she hesitated for a moment, finally gritted her teeth, took out the thing, and handed it to Liu Shao.

"Look at this, Your Highness."

Liu Shao looked up listlessly, saw Wang Parrot handing over a bundle, and asked, somewhat confused, "What is this?"

Wang Parrot looked nervously at the empty bedroom, and moved closer to Liu Shao, then covered it with her body, and opened the bag in her hand, revealing half of the snow-white puppet.

After just a glance, Liu Shao turned pale with fright. He pressed Wang Parrot's hand, quickly wrapped the puppet up again, and shouted in a low voice, "Bold! How dare you put the witch gu Brought into the palace?! Are you trying to kill the orphan?!"

Wang Parrot hurriedly knelt down, and tears flowed out of fright, "My maidservant, this is all for His Royal Highness! Think about it, if the emperor really recovers, you will have to compete with other princes for what should belong to you." The throne. The servant girl is incompetent, so she can only think of this method.

The servant girl heard that as long as the date of birth is written on it with the blood of a close relative, and then buried under a willow tree, it can be cursed.As long as you are careful and bury the puppet in the dark, you will be able to hide it without anyone noticing, and your wish will be fulfilled too, Prince! "

Liu Shao looked at the bundle in Wang Parrot's hand, as if he saw the snow-white puppet inside through the thin wrapper.At this time, the soft puppet is as sharp as a sword, and as hard as the imperial seal...

Liu Shao stretched out his hand, slowly opened the bag, took out the puppet, looked at it carefully, but squeezed the puppet tighter and tighter, "Go get the knife."

Soon, Song Huang's horoscope was written on the puppet's body in bright red blood.Wang Parrot found a few embroidery needles from nowhere, and the two of them seemed to be really killing people, picked up the needles and stuck them on the puppet.

The needles in their hands became more and more ruthless until all the embroidery needles were pierced on the puppet's stomach, and the two looked at each other with madness in their eyes, and then looked at the puppet full of embroidery needles.

Liu Shao pushed the puppet towards Wang Parrot, "Go! Hurry up and bury it! In the dead of night, bury it under the willow tree by the lake outside the East Palace!"

Wang Parrot was a little timid, but thinking of the benefits that Jiuxi had promised her, she gritted her teeth, carefully wrapped the doll, held it in her arms, and slipped out of the bedroom quietly.

Liu Shao dismissed the palace servants before nightfall, and the East Palace was completely silent at this time.Probably the palace people were all asleep, and even the candles in the courtyard that were supposed to be burning were extinguished, and no one came to change them.

The king parrot didn't dare to light the lantern, so he could only use the moonlight to carefully touch the willow tree by the lake outside the palace.

She didn't have a shovel for digging, so she could only dig a hole under the tree with her hands, and looked around while digging, for fear of being discovered by the night guards.

Because I was too nervous, I almost dropped the puppet several times.Finally she dug deep enough, and hurriedly took out the doll and buried it in.In the end, a stone was found and pressed on the new soil to cover people's eyes and ears.

Seeing that the clothes he made were perfect, Wang Parrot was deeply relieved. Just as he got up and wanted to leave, countless torches suddenly lit up all around.

A group of servants appeared out of nowhere, stepped forward and tied Wang Parrot without even asking!
A servant stepped forward, grabbed Wang Parrot's hand and looked at it. Seeing that the gap between her fingers was full of mud, he said to the people behind him, "Dig it out."

Wang Parrot panicked, she said incoherently: "No, that's not the case. My lord, please listen to the maidservant's explanation, the maidservant is serving..."

But before she finished speaking, she was tied up and pushed into the lake.
