I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 271 Assassination of the Crown Prince? !
"promise."

Yi Shuo lowered her head and responded, then walked out from behind Liu Ju.

At this time, everyone in the hall turned their attention to Yishuo. Before this, they had not even noticed that Liu Ju brought Yishuo with him this time.

After all, she was just a personal physician. She was usually quiet and behaved very low-key, so she could easily be ignored.

Not to mention them, even Guo Xuanzi, who had accompanied Liu Ju all the way, didn't have much impression of Yi Shuo. He just felt at the beginning that it was a bit inappropriate to have such a female doctor living with Liu Ju day and night, but later he almost forgot about such a person.

However, no one thought it was inappropriate to see this situation.

The prince's status is so noble that he always has his attendants to taste the food before eating out. Now that he has rashly approached a stranger who he has never met and is not wearing a mask, it is only natural to send someone to search him.

Moreover, the doctor Liu Ju sent was a female, so there were no issues regarding etiquette between men and women.

But one has to admit that although this prince looks young and his words and actions don't seem to be cunning, he is still cautious by nature.

As he spoke, Yi Shuo had already moved closer to Beitang Zhaohui, looked into her eyes and said:
"Could you please first raise your arms and stretch them out to your sides."

"Ah."

Beitang Zhaohui nodded slightly.

As she was doing so, she saw Yi Shuo just raised his hand and took out a jade hairpin that was inserted in her hair bun, and then started from the collar at her neck, gently patting and pressing down inch by inch.

Back, chest, armpits, abdomen, hips, legs...

From top to bottom and from back to front, Yi Shuo's inspection was very detailed. Even Guo Zhen, who often stayed by Liu Ju's side, felt that he was too perfunctory in normal times and that he still had a lot of room for improvement in the future.

However, Yi Shuo only kept Beitang Zhaohui's two arms until the end.

After checking other parts, she said to Beitang Zhaohui:
"Now extend your arms toward me."

Beitang Zhaohui still did as she was told obediently.

Yi Shuo started from the arms and searched carefully downwards, finally reaching the hands.

Then Yi Shuo lifted up Beitang Zhaohui's two wide sleeves, finally revealing her hands that had been hidden in her sleeves.

Those were a pair of white and delicate hands, which could definitely be called jade hands.

The fingers are slender and long, the nails are neatly trimmed, the knuckles are round and transparent, and every curve is just right. The sunlight outside the hall shines in, presenting a crystal clear beauty.

There is a world of difference between these hands and the hands of Zhang Jiaque that were previously presented by Prince Guangchuan Liu Qi.

But Yishuo's hands were no less powerful.

Anyone who saw Yi Shuo's hands would never be able to imagine how she could bear to mix such a pair of delicate hands with the rotten flesh and blood from the autopsy. They would only think that it was a blasphemy to beautiful things and a waste of nature's gifts.

In front of everyone.

Yi Shuo raised her hand and extended it to Beitang Zhaohui's hand.

Beitang Zhaohui's heart trembled slightly, and his clenched fists tightened even more.

Although it was just a body search, she had to be on guard. Her hands had to be pried open by the prince, and no accidents were allowed to happen.

"..."

Everyone in the hall was watching this scene silently, each with their own thoughts.

Even Guo Xuanzi did not close her eyes again. In order to implement this plan, she had taken the initiative to step forward. Once something went wrong, others might still have a chance to get away with it, but she had no way out.

But it shouldn't be a problem.

Yi Shuo was just a female physician who was only responsible for searching for the murder weapon. She should have known that Beitang Zhaohui's hand was to be pried open by Liu Ju.

What's more, just look at Yi Shuo's body shape and hands which are similar to Beitang Zhaohui.

As long as Beitang Zhaohui held it tightly, Yishuo would not be able to pry it open easily. She couldn't use all her strength to pry it open in front of so many people. This would also be an overreach to Liu Ju, the prince who urgently needed a "lucky star" to resolve the "lonely phoenix evil"...

Under the gaze of everyone.

Yi Shuo gently held Beitang Zhaohui's wrist.

Beitang Zhaohui felt relieved. If she just held the wrist to check, there would be no problem. However, just in case, she quietly clenched her fist a little tighter.

But the next second.

"what!"

Beitang Zhaohui suddenly let out a scream of pain, accompanied by an unbearable pain in her wrists, and her hands immediately stretched out uncontrollably.

"Clap!"

A thumb-sized dark green jade hook then fell from the palm of his hand.

It fell to the ground with a crisp sound and broke into two pieces.

"???"

"!!!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, and some even exclaimed involuntarily.

What's happening here? !

It was said that only the prince could pry open the hand of the lucky lady? !

Why did the prince stretch himself out before he could even get a chance to do anything, instead of just sending a female physician forward to search his body, and why did he stretch himself out without even touching his hands?
Those who were unaware of the situation at the scene were completely confused.

Those who were concerned had their hearts in their throats in an instant.

They didn't even understand what had just happened. Why did Beitang Zhaohui suddenly open her hands and break the jade hook that she had hidden in her palm? !

Even Beitang Zhaohui herself didn't understand what was going on.

She opened her eyes wide and looked in amazement at the equally beautiful female doctor in front of her.

She could feel that her wrist had just been firmly gripped by the female doctor, but she could not understand how her strength could be so overbearing that she could not move at all when she struggled reflexively after feeling the pain.

Moreover, Yishuo's thumb seemed to have pressed the inside of her wrist. It was that one press that caused her to feel an indescribable pain at the same time as the pain. At that moment, it was as if her entire hand was not her own. Even if she clenched her teeth, she could not continue to make a fist...

For a while.

The county government's guest hall was completely silent.

Guo Xuanzi, Hejian County Magistrate Wei Chen and his subordinates, Hejian King Liu Shou and his followers, Houjing County Magistrate Jia Xun and some county officials all seemed to be petrified, staring blankly at the jade hook that was broken into two pieces on the ground.

Liu Ju's voice, half-smile, rang out immediately:
"Lord Guo, can you explain to me what is going on?"

"Old, old me..."

Guo Xuanzi shuddered and came back to his senses. His pupils, which were much smaller than those of ordinary people, trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said,
"Maybe I was mistaken. I'm afraid this girl is not your lucky star."

"But I just confirmed with you that you have approved it in public. You can't just brush it off by saying you made a mistake. Not only did you deceive me, you also betrayed my father's trust. You can't escape the crime of deceiving the emperor. Wait for your entire clan to be exterminated."

Liu Ju sneered and stopped questioning Guo Xuanzi. Instead, he looked directly at Beitang Zhaohui, who was bound to be the last to join this plan and the most likely to become a breakthrough point.

"Beitang Zhaohui, you have also committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. It is not easy for the Beitang clan to survive the calamity of Qin II and survive to this day. I am afraid that today it will be extinct because of you."

"Your Highness...I, your humble lady..."

Beitang Zhaohui is only about fifteen or sixteen years old now. Although she has undergone intensive training for several months and has been included in this plan, she has obviously not experienced any storms. How can she withstand such pressure?

At this moment, she was so frightened that her legs went limp, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"But considering that you are probably being used by someone, I can give you a chance to redeem yourself by making amends."

Liu Ju changed the subject and his eyes became even colder.

"Tell me everything you know, and don't hide anything. Otherwise, when you and your clansmen are imprisoned, the cruel officials in the court will probably not be as easy to talk to as I am."

"Your Highness, please spare my life. I am willing to bring all of them here..."

As Liu Ju expected, Beitang Zhaohui's psychological defenses were broken almost instantly. However, before speaking, she turned around timidly and glanced at Jia Xun, the magistrate of Houjing County, who was not far away.

This one glance was enough to tell the truth; Jason was definitely involved.

However, this is far from enough. Liu Ju has reason to believe that a mere county magistrate does not have such great power and is not even qualified to cooperate with Guo Xuanzi.

When Jason saw this, his face turned pale, and then a look of determination flashed across his eyes.

Suddenly, he pulled out a short knife that he had hidden under the table next to him and shouted:
"Do it!"

While speaking, he did not rush towards Beitang Zhaohui, nor did he rush towards Liu Ju, but rushed towards Guo Xuanzi, who was already pale and at a loss.

He knew that he had been completely exposed, and was determined to risk his life to silence Guo Xuanzi!
Obviously, Beitang Zhaohui didn't know much, and basically didn't know the core. But Guo Xuanzi was different. If her mouth was pried open, the person behind the scenes would probably be seriously injured!
But what Liu Ju wanted to know more at this moment was, who was Jia Xun shouting "take action" to, and who was he going to attack?
at the same time.

"When you touch your mother, your father is not around!"

With a loud shout, Gongsun Jingsheng had already flashed in front of Jia Xun and rushed forward with the dagger in his hand.

He twisted his fat body nimbly, narrowly avoiding the blade, and grabbed Jason's arm, then turned around and threw him over his shoulder.

"Oh!"

Before the people in the arena could be shocked by Jia Xun's sudden attack, they were instantly stunned by Gongsun Jingsheng's calm and sophisticated fighting style.

However, this is not the end.

Gongsun Jingsheng, who had once crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, knew very well that he should not give the enemy any chance. At this moment, he had snatched away Jason's dagger. While holding Jason's shoulder with one hand, he chopped down fiercely with the knife. With a "swish" sound, one of Jason's arms was cut off at the shoulder in an instant.

"what!"

Along with Jason's heart-wrenching screams, blood splattered all over Guo Xuanzi's face, as he stiffened all over.

"!!!"

Feeling the warmth on his face, Guo Xuanzi's body shook violently and his pupils trembled even more violently.

As a "goddess face" who was highly respected even by the emperor, she had to admit that she had made a mistake again, a mistake that had nothing to do with physiognomy.

It would have been fine if Liu Ju was very different from what she had imagined, but she had no idea that even this seemingly unreliable fat man was definitely not an ordinary person, and it was no coincidence that he achieved three feats in one battle.

When he started to fight, he was like a god of death, killing people like butchering dogs.

The reason Jason still had his head was probably because he wanted to keep him alive for the time being...

However, there was no time to think more.

"Dangdang!"

The two rows of wooden floorboards behind the main seat where Liu Ju was sitting were suddenly blown away.

A dozen strong men holding sharp blades jumped out from the secret passage hidden underground. They were stunned at first when they saw the bloody scene in the hall, but they also realized that there was no way to retreat since they had already exposed themselves.

"Kill the prince first!"

These people immediately made up their minds and attacked Liu Ju from behind with their swords. At this moment, only Wei Kang and Guo Zhen had time to protect him!

"???"

"!!!"

Seeing this situation, the Hejian County Governor Wei Chen, who was already shocked and almost in a state of confusion throughout the whole process, was even more horrified. He picked up a seat and rushed to Liu Ju:
"Help, help, help!"

crazy!

They're all fucking crazy!

These people were so bold that they even dared to assassinate the prince.

If the prince really died in Hejian State, all the officials and their families in Hejian State would definitely be plowed by the current emperor, and he, the county magistrate, would be the first to bear the brunt!
