Chapter 239 The Third Prince Died with His Eyes Open

The prince's question made Wen Mingzhu's heart skip a beat, for she knew how cruel the third prince had been at that time.

The bruises on her body were definitely not caused by the prince, but she knew him very well.

Knowing how deeply he loved her, she thought that as long as she cried a few times and said a few flattering words, she would be able to dispel the prince's suspicion.

"Your Highness~ You know that the baby's skin turns purple when touched, but you still... wuwu... Your Highness doesn't know how to be gentle with women~"

Wen Mingzhu's delicate voice was filled with tears, as if a feather had passed through the prince's heart.

"Haha...was I so brave just now?" Although the prince knew his own limitations, which man would say that he was incapable?
The prince would never dream that Wen Mingzhu would dare to betray him, so he quickly let it go.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't you know it yourself?" Don't you know it? Wen Mingzhu didn't dare to say the latter part.

At this moment, she looked at the prince with seductive eyes, her eyes were filled with tears, and her cheeks turned red with anxiety.

Although she despised the prince in her heart, she absolutely could not let him become suspicious.

The prince looked at Wen Mingzhu's tearful face, and a strong sense of pride rose in his heart, "Baby, let's do it again..."

Wen Mingzhu was very upset. The prince was not capable enough but he loved to make trouble. It was over just when it began. What was the point of making trouble?
But she didn't dare show any dissatisfaction and had to pretend to enjoy it.

Fortunately, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside. The prince frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The chief guard of the Eastern Palace walked to the window and reported in a low voice.

"The chief eunuch of the emperor's side led 500 imperial guards to surround the East Palace, and the third prince and his men were sandwiched among the imperial guards."

"Hmph, I was just worried that I didn't hurt him. Since he's here to die, I'll give him a ride." A cold light flashed in the prince's eyes.

"Go and gather all the secret guards. This time, we must kill the third prince no matter what." The prince said fiercely.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The captain of the guards immediately withdrew, and the prince saw that the people outside quickly dispersed.

She shouted loudly towards the door: "Hurry up and bring in the hot water so that I can bathe and change my clothes."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, his personal eunuch came in with a group of young eunuchs and palace maids, carrying hot water and clothes.

Wen Mingzhu hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. She was extremely tired and just wanted to have a good sleep.

The commander of the Yulin Army is the Third Prince’s uncle, so the Third Prince and his guards were able to blend in.

The third prince even wanted to take the opportunity to cripple the crown prince. In his eyes, apart from the crown prince, no other brother could compete with him.

As long as the crown prince is disabled, he will not be able to ascend the throne, and there will be no better crown prince than himself among the other princes.

The secret guards of the Eastern Palace received secret orders from the crown prince. They wore black night clothes, held sharp blades, and stared at the third prince with cold eyes.

They have only one goal: to kill the third prince.

The moonlight shone through the leaves, illuminating the faces of the secret guards, outlining their grim silhouettes.

The secret guards silently shuttled back and forth on the roof of the East Palace, their steps light but determined, and every secret guard's eyes were searching for the figure of the Third Prince.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and the secret guards of the Eastern Palace instantly became alert, ready to resist the Yulin Army.

However, the person who appeared before them was an East Palace guard, gasping with fear on his face.

"What's wrong?" a secret guard asked quietly.

"Hurry up and tell His Highness that the Emperor has learned about your assassination of the Fifth Prince today. A large number of palace guards have been ordered to capture His Highness." The young guard said in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, the secret guards looked at each other, and one of them ran to find the prince. Suddenly, a sharp whistle cut through the night sky, and the secret guards looked up.

The third prince jumped down from the air with a sword in his hand, and his fierce eyes pierced the guards of the East Palace like a sharp blade.

Swords flashed, and the guards of the Eastern Palace and the Yulin Army raised their blades and started a fierce fight.

The secret guards of the Eastern Palace hid in the dark, seemingly attacking the Yulin Army with hidden weapons, but in fact they wanted to kill the third prince.

Swords flashed and blood splattered, and the East Palace suddenly turned into a chaotic battlefield.

The Third Prince sneered, his sword skills were agile, and every strike of his sword was full of deadly murderous intent. His guards depended on each other for life and death, and vowed to defend their master to the death.

The whole scene was extremely intense, and every swing of the sword was a test of life and death.

Although the Third Prince and his guards were strong, they were outnumbered and were quickly defeated.

The secret guards took advantage of the victory and attacked the third prince like crazy, risking their lives.

Suddenly, the third prince jumped onto the high wall. He snorted coldly with a smug sneer on his lips.

"Do you think you can kill me with just this little bit of strength? Dream on! Hahahaha..."

As soon as the Third Prince finished speaking, a large number of guards rushed out from all directions and surrounded the walls of the East Palace.

The guards are all highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained, and they all obviously have combat experience.

At this moment, everyone in the Eastern Palace had a distorted look on their faces. It turned out that the Third Prince had already set up a trap and trapped them.

As soon as the third prince finished speaking, the archers who were hiding nearby shot their sharp arrows.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, four sharp arrows shot at the third prince at the same time. His secret guards rushed forward but were still a step too late.

Xiao Jin has been able to shoot an arrow through a target at a hundred paces since he was fifteen, and he is also full of anger.

Two of the four arrows hit the third prince's legs, and the other two hit his wrists.

When Xiao Jin saw the Fifth Prince off, he held his wife's hand and walked the Marquis of Zhenxi and his wife to Yingchun Hall to find his grandmother.

Before they entered, they heard Old Madam Fan scolding his aunt fiercely. They went up to persuade her and wasted quite a bit of time.

Before the problem was completely resolved, they heard the eunuch in the palace delivering the emperor's order, summoning them to the palace to discuss matters urgently.

Xiao Jin could only leave his wife to deal with it alone in the mansion, and then he went home to consummate the marriage with his wife.

He had just started eating meat and was addicted to it. How could he bear to see such a good time go to waste? However, he dared not disobey the emperor's order, so he directed his anger at the third prince.

Xiao Jin didn't want to kill the third prince, he just wanted to teach him a lesson, so he shot at the third prince's limbs.

When the prince rushed out, he saw the third prince fell to the ground after being shot by an arrow. Not only did he not go forward to help him up, he also went up and stab him with a sword.

When the Third Prince saw his brother, the Crown Prince, walking towards him with a sword in hand, he knew that something was wrong, but he did not expect the Crown Prince to be so cruel.

At most, he only wanted to cripple the prince, and never thought of killing him, but the prince ruthlessly stabbed him with a sword.

The third prince took his last breath, his eyes still wide open in disbelief.

When the commander of the Yulin Army saw the prince stabbing his nephew in the chest with a sword, his eyes were bloodshot and his handsome face was distorted with anger.

"I am here to arrest the crown prince on the orders of His Majesty. You are not allowed to stop me. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be killed without mercy."

The look in the Yulin Army commander's eyes seemed as if countless knives were fiercely cutting the prince.
