Chapter 345 Chapter 343 [The Secret of Founding the King]

When Lu Chen was summoned by the emperor in the palace, in the front hall of a secret house in Xicheng, a man in his thirties was sitting upright with an indifferent look.

This person's name is Xu Ruqing. He is a junior of Queen Xu's natal family and one of the most trusted people of the Third Prince. He is usually responsible for protecting the safety of His Royal Highness King Jian.

After sitting there for a long time, Xu Ruqing couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the back house. His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood today. There was obviously anger in his eyes when he came from the palace. It seemed...

He did not continue to think about it, like a silent puppet statue.

At the same time, in the bedroom of the back house, the third prince sat at the table with a sword and a golden horse. A weak beauty sat shyly on his lap, holding a wine cup in both hands, and carefully handed it to the third prince's lips, whispering Said: "Your Highness, please."

The third prince drank the fine wine from the glass under her service, stretched his left hand majestically into her lapel, and said with a smile: "I told you last time that it is rude to toast like this. For the sake of being so well-behaved, I won’t punish you this time, but you should think about how to make up for it.”

The woman didn't dare to resist at all. There was a trace of sadness in her heart, but she had to maintain a sweet and shy smile on her face.

Her name is Yun Niang, and she is the wife of a merchant in Xicheng. Although she is not from a noble family, she is still a good woman who abides by her duties.

However, she was glanced at by Li Zongjian half a month ago, and she was kidnapped here when she went shopping the next day. Her innocence was ruined.

Yun Niang wanted to seek death, but Li Zongjian only said one word to stop her from continuing.

"If you die, I will let all the more than 20 members of your family and your natal family be buried with you."

Yun Niang was filled with grief and indignation and did not dare to speak to anyone, nor could she muster the courage to fight. After all, the other party was a prince standing on the clouds, and her husband was just an ordinary small businessman. A single sneeze from the other party could crush them to death. The whole family.

She only hoped that the third prince with a human face and an animal heart would just have a whim and forget about her existence. However, when she was forced to come to this secret house again today, she realized that she was in a hell where she could not reincarnate.

At this moment, looking at the cold smile on the lips of the third prince, Yun Niang did not dare to refuse. Her hands were trembling slightly as she held the bottle to pour the wine. Then she opened her lips slightly to hold the drink, then closed her eyes and leaned over there.

"open one's eyes."

The third prince's calm but extremely oppressive voice came to her ears, and Yun Niang could only open her eyes.

The third prince drank the wine from her mouth, and then sighed: "In ancient times, there were beauty pots, but today there are only beauty cups. It can be said that the ancients are not as beautiful as before."

Yun Niang couldn't understand the allusions in his mouth. She just felt that time passed so slowly, and she wished that this nightmare could end as soon as possible.

The third prince looked at her uneasy expression, his left hand continued to rub her clothes, and his right hand held the pot to pour wine, and said leisurely: "I know you are very reluctant."

Yun Niang quickly shook her head and said, "Your Highness, I don't dare to do this."

"Whether you dare or not is two different things, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm not worried."

The third prince smiled, rubbed the handle of the wine pot with his right hand, and said slowly: "I just want to tell you that no one in this world can be satisfied, not even Gu's father, let alone you, a nobody. The little lady who takes care of you?"

Yun Niang remained silent, not daring to answer the question casually.

The third prince chuckled and said: "Maybe you think Gu is lying to you, so don't drag your father out to talk about it, just talk about Gu yourself. Do you know what Gu wants most?"

"I don't know what I mean..."

Yun Niang lowered her head, wanting to pull that hand out, but she was afraid of offending the moody nobleman next to her.

The third prince seemed to be muttering to himself: "I want to be a prince, I want to ascend the throne and sit on that dragon chair, I want to be the emperor of the Qi Dynasty."

These words struck Yun Niang's mind like a thunderbolt.

The third prince looked at her fearful expression with great interest, and said with a smile: "What, you think I am not worthy?"

Yun Niang shook her head repeatedly and said with a hint of tears: "Your Highness, I didn't hear anything."

"That won't work. I have no interest in talking to a deaf person."

The third prince finally took his hand away, but deliberately put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. This scene made Yun Niang's face turn red, and she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

When the third prince saw this, he said, "I tell you, no one wants to sit on that dragon chair."

"The idiot, the boss, thinks he is pretending to be perfect and no one can see through his mind, but he doesn't know that I have planted nails around him a long time ago. He always pretends to be kind and kind outside, but in fact he is always in trouble. The prince was so angry that he secretly sought out masters to learn martial arts."

"You said that he is a noble and eldest prince who will become the crown prince as long as he doesn't make a big mistake. Why would he waste time learning martial arts? I guess he is worried that his father will change his mind one day. Then he might Kill the king first, then kill me and my second son, and then ascend the throne leisurely."

The third prince put his arm around Yun Niang's shoulders and held a wine cup in his other hand to fill himself with wine.

Yun Niang's eyes widened when she heard this, and her body couldn't stop trembling.

Even though she was just a woman from a small family, she had always lived at the foot of the emperor and in the most benign place in the capital. She could hear some rumors from time to time. Nowadays, there are not many heirs, there are only three adult princes, and the position of the crown prince has not been determined. However, it is said that the eldest prince will definitely become the crown prince, and the other two princes have no intention of competing for the crown prince.

Now that she heard what the third prince said with her own ears, and suddenly heard such top secrets, how could Yun Niang be able to hold on.

The third prince hugged her limp body and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Gu likes you very much, so you just need to be quiet and listen."

"Let's talk about the second child. He is a little smarter than the eldest brother, but he is also very limited. After all, he will inevitably show traces of the axe. The second child knows very well that compared with the eldest brother, he does not have the status of eldest son, and compared with me, he does not have the status of a queen. His biological mother, Concubine Shu, has the temperament of a Buddha, so she can't do anything to help him in front of his father."

"He has pretended to be carefree and carefree in these years, just to dispel his father's suspicion and show that he has no intention of competing for that position. At the same time, he used his image of glory, wind and moon to make friends with many courtiers, openly or secretly, hoping that those who People can help him in the future. Tsk, it’s really a conspiracy, I’m afraid it will cost you your life in the end.”

"The second brother is not as good as me in this regard. If you want to pretend, you have to pretend more thoroughly. As long as the vast majority of people think it is impossible for you, you will be able to reverse the situation unexpectedly. He spends all day working on those literati. , it is completely a dead end. Only people like me who recognize the facts and have been wooing the Jiangnan family represented by the left prime minister for a long time can control the overall situation in the future!"

Yun Niang's initial shock and fear gradually turned into confusion.

Although she was already in her twenties and had given birth to a son and a daughter, her naturally timid demeanor was even more attractive in the eyes of the third prince. In addition, she had already drank half a bottle of wine, and the third prince felt the blood surge in his body. , then he nuzzled his lips towards the bed not far away, and said with a smile: "I didn't have enough fun last time, so you are not allowed to show off your temper today, otherwise..."

Yun Niang was so ashamed and angry that she was dying of shame. However, facing the prince's explicit threat, she did not dare to do anything. She could only stand up and walk over there with difficulty.

The third prince looked at her graceful back leisurely and couldn't help but let out a burst of wanton laughter.

The curtain fell quietly.

The third prince was not in a hurry. He lay next to Yun Niang and said, "Guess what I plan to do?"

Yun Niang suppressed her sadness and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I don't know, I don't dare to make random guesses."

The third prince twirled her spread black hair with his left hand and said with a smile: "In a few days, the second prince will hold a Lao Shizi literary party. It will still be the same as before, using the opportunity of dancing and writing to win people's hearts. This time he went out of his way to Invite Lu Chen, the Marquis of Shanyang who is returning to the capital with the soldiers from the border army today. I am planning to arrange a group of dead soldiers to sneak in when the cultural conference is held, and even if I cannot kill Lu Chen, I will seriously injure him."

Yun Niang became more and more nervous and swallowed her saliva involuntarily. She didn't understand why the other party told her so many secrets.

The third prince raised his hand and brushed her cheek, and said slowly: "You don't understand, I'll tell you why I did this. Lu Chen is the representative of the border army, and there have always been conflicts between the border army and the central court. I can tell you this." Put the blame on the Jiangnan family in the center."

Yun Niang remembered what he said before and finally asked: "Didn't Your Highness say that Your Highness has good relations with those noble families... Your Highness..."

The third prince stood up, showing no pity for the poor little woman. His movements were extremely rough and savage, and he said excitedly: "Idiot, of course those noble families will only suspect that the second brother is putting the blame on them. Is this the case?" Killing two birds with one stone, it can not only punish Lu Chen, but also completely cut off the second child's wishful thinking."

Yun Niang endured it sadly and silently.

The third prince suddenly frowned and said, "I told you so many top secrets today, you won't betray me, right?"

Yun Niang was shocked and said quickly: "This concubine will never tell anyone."

She didn't notice that the third prince's hands quietly touched her throat.

The third prince looked at this soft face, put a little pressure on his hands, and said with great regret: "It's a pity, it would be better if you were deaf."

Yun Niang didn't react at first, but when she realized it, those big hands were already squeezing her throat.

The third prince kept moving. Seeing the little woman's eyes gradually bulging and her limbs struggling desperately, he suddenly laughed and said gently: "Actually, I don't want to do this. I really like you. But there are some words It has been hidden in my heart for too long. If I don't talk to someone, I will hide my problem. In order to let me continue to wait patiently, I have to aggrieve you. Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon. "

Yun Niang's eyes were stained with blood, and her face changed from reddish to red, and then gradually turned blue and white.

The third prince took a deep breath and climbed down from the bed with satisfaction, without looking at the little woman who had lost her breath on the bed.

After about half a stick of incense, the refreshed third prince came to the front hall, and Xu Ruqing immediately stood up to greet him.

The third prince walked up to Xu Ruqing, raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder, and said with approval: "The matter was done well. I'll keep looking like this in the future. By the way, you can tidy up the place later."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the villain will handle it properly."

Xu Ruqing said respectfully.

The third prince smiled, stretched his arms and twisted his neck, and then strode away.

Xu Ruqing sent him to the corridor, looked at the other person's retreating figure, his eyes were obscure and unspeakable, and three words quietly appeared in his mind.

"sixth."

Xu Ruqing couldn't help but shook his head.

　There is nothing at night.
