Chapter 143 Too Ridiculous
When Chu Yu approached the old concubine, she was almost slashed on the neck by someone.

He took two steps back suddenly and watched the old concubine being stabbed in the chest and spitting out blood.

The old concubine looked at Chu Yu with eyes full of love, slowly collapsed to the ground, and twitched a few times.

Chu Yu widened her eyes, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Ling'er!"

He shouted hoarsely and tried desperately to get to the old concubine, but was stopped by someone.

Seeing more and more people coming, he suddenly flew up, and when he was mid-air, he was suddenly covered by a fishing net.

"Oh!"

He fell to the ground with no chance of escape.

The second prince ordered his men to arrest him.

He squatted in front of the old concubine, watching his subordinates turning over the old concubine's body.

I don't know what I touched, but I felt something at the back of my head.

"found it."

The subordinate gently made an incision at the back of the head, and then took off the mask.

The mask was made of human skin, and the second prince seriously suspected that the mask was made of the skin of the old concubine.

He unconsciously took two steps back and saw a young woman's face under the human skin mask.

Maybe because of the glue, or the wrong way of removing it, several pieces of skin fell off the girl's face.

His head is completely bald, without even a single hair.

Next is the arm, which is also a mask made of human skin.

The subordinate placed the item on a tray and handed it to the Second Prince, "Your Highness, this is made of real human skin. I don't know what method the other party used, but it doesn't look corrupt at all."

"It sticks tightly to the skin and can make various expressions according to the person."

The second prince glared at him and asked, "Why go into so much detail?"
It gave him goose bumps. Thinking about being in contact with this skin day and night, the Second Prince admired the woman's courage. At least he didn't dare to do that for fear of having nightmares.

"Okay, take it. If there are any imperial doctors who would like to study it, give it to them!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The coup was halfway completed, at least the palace was no longer in danger.

If half of the enemy troops are killed, the remaining ones will react quickly and will probably launch a general attack by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

The fires in the capital were gone for one night, and the smell of burning corpses was everywhere, which was disgusting.

The soldiers had no choice. Although the weather was not too hot, the plague was bound to breed, so the bodies had to be burned.

As flames shot up into the sky, the enemies outside the city felt a little more at ease. After all, the louder the noise, the safer their people were.

The second prince interrogated Chu Yu overnight, but Chu Yu refused to speak. It was not until he saw the woman's body that he began to reveal some things!
A year ago, it happened that their country learned about the old concubine and deliberately approached her to gain her trust.

When the other party is not paying attention, kill the person and make a human skin mask.

The two of them returned to the capital as the old concubine and Chu Yu. Ling'er pretended to be the old concubine, and because he had learned martial arts since childhood, he could change his bones and body parts and pretend to be a woman to collect intelligence.

At the same time, he also revealed a secret, "Haha, you know? The courtesan from the Hong Kong Coliseum is me. You idiots actually spent so much money on me. Didn't expect that, did you?"

He said smugly that he just wanted to disgust them to death.

It must be said that many people present changed their expressions when they found out that the courtesan they liked was actually a man. He only said so much and was completely unwilling to speak any more.

That night, he held Ling'er's body and lit a fire on himself. The flames shot up into the sky and the prison was soon engulfed in flames.

The prison boss quickly ordered the prisoners to evacuate, but when he wanted to put out the fire, it was too late.

"Ling'er, I'll take you home. Wait for me on the road to the underworld..."

A man's shrill voice was heard, and he stood motionless in the firelight.

Suddenly, there was a burst of singing, a foreign song, and no tune could be heard.

The sound continued for a long time, and in the end only two charred corpses were left.

The prison boss looked at the ruins in front of him. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and did not spread to other houses, but this cell block was destroyed.

A prison guard walked up to the boss and said, "Boss, can we apply to build the cells in another place? This is really scary."

He couldn't help shuddering at the thought of someone being burned to death here, singing before dying.

There have always been rumors among the people that ghosts exist, ghost lights, ghost houses, and singing in the middle of the night...

Well, not only the jailers, but even the prison bosses were afraid.

The second prince released all the people in the Mu Mansion, sent a lot of things to the Mansion, and personally expressed his condolences.

Madam Mu had only lost a little weight, and the jailers were very polite to them, so no one was hurt.

After seeing off the second prince, she grabbed "Mu Qingqing's" arm.

"Is Qingqing okay?"

Mu Qingqing nodded, "Don't worry, Madam Mu, Xiao has sent the news that Miss Mu and King Han are already rushing back."

Madam Mu was relieved, but a new problem arose. The emperor was in a coma and the second prince was in charge of the government. If he wanted to succeed to the throne, could he still wake the emperor up?

Dynasties changed, court officials came and went, the Mu Mansion was already in turmoil, what should it do?
The second prince was also thinking about this question in his mind. Many of his aides were in audience with the emperor. Never mind the legitimacy. Even if there was no imperial edict to pass on the throne, there would be no problem in succeeding to the throne.

But what about the queen? Can the queen let him keep his position?
He was involved in the death of the prince back then, and I'm afraid many people know about this.

It seemed that the two were cooperating, but the Queen Mother had been guarding against him, especially his father, whom he hadn't seen for several days. The Queen Mother's secret guards had been surrounding the Emperor's bedroom and would not let anyone in.

It was called protection, but he knew in his heart that they were just guarding against himself!
The second prince's brows were still furrowed as he sighed softly. "Never mind, let's just leave it at that. Let's resist the foreign enemies first."

My father's health is very poor. In order to have a stable crown prince, the throne can only be his. My fourth brother is too young and cannot intimidate those old ministers.

I kept comforting myself in my heart. No matter how unwilling he was, what could he do?

Early the next morning, the second prince went to pay his respects to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen, as usual, and then handled state affairs and discussed tactics against the enemy.

The number of enemies outside was only half of the original number, which was only 30,000, but there were only 22,000 imperial guards left in the capital, and many of them were injured.

A war is certainly possible, but after the war, I'm afraid the capital's assets will be gone.

At this time, an official spoke up, "Second Prince, the enemy's commander is in our hands. How about we use him to threaten them? To buy some time?"

They knew in their hearts that King Han would definitely rush back. As long as they delayed for a few more days, King Han would definitely come back.

Another old minister also spoke up, "I think we can give it a try, but I'm worried that the enemy will not care about the life or death of the commander. What if they attack directly?"

"Moreover, I think the border failure is too strange. There has been no news for such a long time. Is it possible that the soldiers at the border have surrendered to the enemy?"

If you surrender to the enemy, you will become the enemy's accomplice. What if you end up helping the enemy in return?
