Poor children

Chapter 188

一
There were two rows of people kneeling on the execution platform. His Majesty the Emperor personally oversaw the execution, which was considered as giving the Fourth Prince a lot of face.

Several ladies and family members cried and almost fainted...

The prince turned his head to look at the poor boy beside him, and saw that she was calmer than usual, "Girl, you will be decapitated after a while, why do you look so ordinary?"

"If I cry like them, will I have a chance to survive?" the poor boy asked back.
"Of course not..." the prince smiled knowingly

"Then I might as well save some energy and save it for the road to hell..." Pao'er said, and couldn't help but look at the crowd watching the excitement.

The prince also followed her gaze and looked down, "Is the girl's person already here?"

The pauper was a little surprised when he heard this, so he turned his head and looked at the prince again, "What did daddy say?"

"I said the people from Qilin Village are already among this crowd?" the prince asked with a smile.
The pauper was about to speak, but was interrupted by the prince, "Do you want to ask me how I know this? Do you think I won't know anything after you come back and live in the backyard? What do you do every day, and who do you meet?" Everything is clear..."

"Why did you...?" Pao'er looked at the Fourth Prince but felt that he was strange.
"You are my daughter, I only care about you, what else can I do?" The prince asked again, "Did Chengda tell you the reason for the country's collapse? How do you think he, a lowly official with a clerical job, could read confidential letters?" "

"Dad specially arranged for my brother to see it..." Many questions in Pao'er's mind seemed to have answers at this moment. "But why did dad do this? Knowing that if I knew the reason, I would definitely want revenge. Wouldn't the Central Plains be turned upside down?" "

"Do you think that that fool sitting on the throne will not turn the world upside down? He is stupid, incompetent, and a drunkard. The Central Plains will soon be defeated by him. I must not watch him ruin it all." The prince said

"Daddy is really planning this," Pao'er sighed, "So daddy deliberately leaked the news that you knew the Tubo Imperial Master to me, so that I could plan how to plot against daddy?"

"Haha... Yes! Otherwise, do you think the old god will not come if you don't let him come? Although he is destined to you, his relationship with me is also not shallow..."

"How do you know?" Paoer already knew something in his mind before he finished asking, "Is the mistress yours?"

"Yes!" The prince was kneeling upright, but now he seemed to feel more relaxed, so he knelt down and sat down. "Don't blame your father for not caring about you since you were a child. The house seems peaceful, but there is a lot of chaos under the table. If I try my best to disobey you. My wife’s intention is to leave you in the yard, I’m afraid you are no longer alive..."

"It turns out that daddy is protecting me." The poor boy naturally didn't believe it.

"The mistress is a guard who does secret things for me. He is very loyal. If you think about it carefully, has he been working in the kitchen for as long as you can remember?" the prince asked.

"Why do you dislike me and protect me at the same time?" Pao'er didn't understand why he did this.

"When have I ever disliked you?" The prince smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't remember your mother, but when I saw you in the woodshed that day, I had a vague feeling that you must be no ordinary child. That day the third lady said something to the old man. I know what the god said, so I used a trick to prevent her from deliberately trying to kill you. Later, when you grew older, I asked the old god to hire the best teacher for you..."

"Even my master is yours?" Pao'er really couldn't believe it.
"No, Master Sanyang is not, neither is the old fairy, we are all elders who care about you..."

"Did you arrange to send me to the northwest?" Pao'er asked again
"This was an accident. I only said that I wanted our girl, but the people in my family mentioned you. I can't keep you. It might be a good thing to marry you. I didn't expect that there is a will in the dark." , everything seems to have been arranged. Today, you and my father and daughter were actually arranged to be put on the execution ground." After saying this, the prince laughed again.

"No wonder it was so easy for me to see the Tubo Imperial Master. He happily agreed to help my husband regain the lost territory..."

"He agreed happily because of your few Buddha relics."

Pao'er shook her head, "Daddy, you're kidding me. How can those few Buddha relics be as good as dad's?" Pao'er fell into deep silence after speaking. She was thinking and sorting out many things that happened in the past. The prince saw that she didn't He said nothing more

After a long time, Pao'er suddenly turned around and saw the third lady and Chun Ya crying together at the back from a distance...

"Did you inject the poison?" Paoer turned to the prince again and said

"Yes" the prince answered simply.
"Do you know...?" Paoer asked

"I didn't know it earlier. Later, she went to visit the prisoner on death row. It happened that there was one of my people there. It was an old acquaintance. But she died as soon as she left, so I asked someone to go and check it carefully. After checking, I found out that those two children have nothing to do with me..." The prince seemed to be talking about other people's affairs.

"Aren't you afraid that I might eat those snacks by mistake?" Paoer was a little unhappy.

"Your thoughts are so delicate. I moved their positions deliberately. How could you not see it?" The prince laughed.

"How did you know I was going to give it to Chengda?"

"I don't know..." the prince replied, "I thought you would feed it to that bitch..."

"You want to use my hand to kill her?"

"She deserves to die. She deserves to die in your hands," the prince replied.

"If you knew this a long time ago, why did you kill her now?"

"What do you think of the Second Madam?" The prince did not return the poor child's question, but asked her one

"Kindness, kindness, virtuousness, forbearance..."

"Do you ever think she is a little too forbearing? Why do you think she has only been nice to you since she was a child?"

"What does daddy want to say?" Paoer asked.

"If she didn't know how I feel about you, how could she treat you like this? If there hadn't been the Third Madam all these years, the world would have been hers. How could Master Sanyang teach you to be so innocent? In this world, apart from blood relatives, And who would treat you well for no reason?" the prince said with emotion
"Daddy is wrong! Daddy is too suspicious, that's why he thinks like this. The reason why my daughter can live so long is because these people who are not blood relatives are willing to treat her well..."

The sound of cannons suddenly sounded, drowning out the poor children's voices, and the crowd suddenly became commotion...

"Isn't your husband already at the city? Your brothers in Qilin Village can't stand it any longer. I saw a few of them have put their hands on their scabbards..." The prince laughed.

"Dad has long known that they are coming, and has also expected today, so when rumors spread in the capital, you could have controlled it in time but didn't. You still came to me to show your pain. You just wanted to make the matter bigger, because You know that only if something happens to me, they will desperately come to save me, right?" Pao'er asked.

The prince just smiled and said nothing
Pao'er turned her head and looked into the crowd. The first master and Wu'er had already squeezed in front of her, but the second master was nowhere to be seen. He must be outside the city with Tianxing now.
"How is this my plan? This is obviously dad's plan, and I am just a part of dad's plan. You must be doing this because you want something else, right?"
