The wicked girl

Chapter 340 Unbelievable
"The Seventh Prince is dead?" Ye Kui murmured for a moment with a stagnant expression.

Pei Changge also felt that the scene in front of him was unexpectedly mysterious and unpredictable, and he couldn't figure out any clues at all.The day before, they decided during the discussion that Emperor Chengzhen had already been identified, and the prince who had the most hope of succeeding in ascending to the throne of the emperor would be the Seventh Prince born by Concubine Yu.

But the Seventh Prince would die just like that?
When the news reached their ears, Ye Kui and Pei Changge were both stunned.

There was no sign of it, not even the slightest sign.It was just a sudden autumn rainstorm, and when the rain stopped, the Seventh Prince Feng Qi died just like that?This doesn't make sense, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense!It doesn't make sense that the most important person in the incident would die like this.Leaving aside the other things, let's just say that with Concubine Yu's way of life and the seventh prince's low profile, she shouldn't die because of such an accident.

Ye Kui let out a long sigh, and said full of doubts, "Did we miscalculate something in this matter, or did we misread something?"

The death of the Seventh Prince was like a powerful injection that suddenly lost its effect.Ye Kui once used the fact that he had guessed Emperor Chengzhen's mind as a stimulant to keep going, but now this feeling is like being suddenly noticed that you have used illegal things at the moment when the competition is approaching. It's like forcing you to be kicked out of this game.

She even had a feeling that if she couldn't even see through this incident, there would be no need to talk about rebellion.

Hitting a stone with an egg, they can only kill themselves!

"Apart from the Seventh Prince, who else has the possibility of seizing the heir?" Pei Changge held his eyes and held his breath, and then suddenly said, "The Fifth Prince's time is probably running out!"

No matter how the two of them looked at the death of the seventh prince, they couldn't believe that the death of the seventh prince was really just an accident.But now that everyone is dead, how he died is not that important anymore.Not everything in this world needs a thorough explanation.All they can be sure of now is that someone really started to do it.

The target is not just the Seventh Prince alone.

Before the rainstorm fell, the Seventh Prince went hunting in autumn at the invitation of the Fifth Prince.

Not long after that, the torrential rain poured down, and amidst the roar of thunder, the crotch flatterer of the Seventh Prince was frightened and ran away.The runaway horse ran too fast, and the heavy rain at that time blurred the vision, and the visibility became much lower in an instant.So no one was able to find the Seventh Prince in time. When he finally found the trace of the Seventh Prince in the heavy rain, and chased after the traces of the horseshoes that were about to be washed away by the rain, the Seventh Prince had already fallen to the ground, covered in blood. with wet mud.And the horse had long since disappeared.

When the Seventh Prince fell off the horse, he smashed his head.

The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital tried their best, but they failed to pull him back from Huangquan Road.

After a few hours, the Seventh Prince lost his breath.Concubine Yu fainted on the spot, and she still hasn't woken up.

It is said that there happened to be a sharp stone where the Seventh Prince fell, and it directly pierced into the Seventh Prince's head.With such an injury, how could he survive in this era when surgery was not popularized and there was not enough medical equipment?
After hearing that the small stone pierced the Seventh Prince's head, Pei Changge gave Ye Kui a meaningful look.

This glance also immediately reminded her of the trap she set up on the ground with straw ropes and sharp stones when she and Pei Changge first met, in order to get rid of the trafficker Lao Hei who was following closely behind.

Although this method is too simple, it is easy to fail.

But also because it is too simple, sometimes it becomes the easiest way to succeed.Whether it's stones or grass, they are just things that can be seen everywhere. It really looks like an accident, a coincidence of bad luck.

However, they have long been paying attention to the Seventh Prince, and of course it is impossible to think that this is just a coincidence.

"The Seventh Prince only came out at the invitation of the Fifth Prince, so this matter was not done by him, and it is difficult to escape the responsibility." Ye Kui said.

Pei Changge nodded when he heard the words, and said in agreement: "So the fifth prince can also be excluded."

Without the Seventh Prince, without the Fifth Prince, among the remaining individuals, who would be the one that Emperor Chengzhen favored?But even though the matter was already in front of his eyes, Ye Kui still didn't believe it, and said: "After thinking about it, it is impossible for the Seventh Prince and Concubine Yu to spend so many years in the shadow of others for no reason. You Look, could the Seventh Prince's death be because someone, like us, has already determined that the Seventh Prince is the one who is most likely to ascend to the throne, so he simply didn't do anything, and just dealt with him directly?"

After the words fell, Pei Changge suddenly reached out and picked up a hair that was stuck on Ye Kui's shoulder at some point, and said in his mouth: "It's not sure. But in my opinion, it's possible that you and I guessed wrong. A bit bigger. Previously we only focused on the Seventh Prince, but forgot to think carefully about Concubine Yu’s family background. The Fifth Prince has strong support from his mother’s family. Bring out that kind of strength."

Hearing this, Ye Kui suddenly raised her head and said: "In this way, Concubine Yu really doesn't want the Seventh Prince to be in danger, so she will live carefully and low-key for ten years?"

Pei Changge nodded, but then shook his head again, and said, "Maybe it is, maybe it's not. But we can be sure of one thing now. The emperor never really cared about the Seventh Prince."

Ye Kui's two eyebrows were tightly knit together, and her voice was a little lower: "If he is the candidate, the fifth prince should be disposed of immediately. But the fifth prince is still fine, even one None of the vellus hairs was injured, so it can be seen that the emperor didn't intend to touch him at this meeting. It's just that the fifth prince's life is like a piece of tofu suspended in the air. As long as it sticks out With a single finger poke, he'll fall down and be smashed to pieces!"

"That's right, so the fifth prince is too busy to take care of himself now, and he must not be in the mood to meddle in other people's affairs." Pei Changge spoke, and his slender, white fingers touched her eyebrows, "Stop frowning, don't tell the child to come out Then I can see the wrinkles on your forehead."

Ye Kui was teased by him and stretched his brows, forced a smile, and said: "The things during this period of time are really endless. Before one thing stopped, the other one started again. By the way, the government Have the people here started looking for the second master?"

Because the matter of the Seventh Prince stood in the way, it was too eye-catching. For a while, no one in Pei's house noticed that Second Master Pei was gone.

But the most critical point must be the second lady.

The mistress of Pei's second bedroom is gone, and how many people will notice Pei Erye.

On the contrary, Pei Wei, the eldest daughter of the second room, seemed to have sensed something was wrong, but all she could think about was how to save her mother from Shuiyue Nunnery, and how to trade her own sister's marriage for her bright future.

If the second wife doesn't come back for a day, it will be difficult for her to find a good marriage.

In this way, Pei Wei, who only cared about herself, would never find out that something happened to her father.

As soon as Third Master Pei woke up, he asked where Second Master Pei was, but no one saw him, and he was severely reprimanded by the third lady, saying that he only cared about looking for his concubine all day long. Brother, activities are like a child. If you have this spare time, it is better to teach your son more homework.Mr. Pei was wronged by the scolding, so he wanted to tell the third lady what happened earlier, but before he could say a few words, he was scolded by the third lady again.

It was raining so heavily, and I didn't know where to meet or whom to meet, but he passed out in the garden, and the people in the mansion saw all the jokes!

No matter what Mr. Pei said, he would be stopped back by the third lady with contempt, and he lost interest in speaking after a while.In addition, his whole body was uncomfortable and his throat was burning like fire, so he simply didn't say anything.

As a result, when the Pei family finally realized that Second Master Pei hadn't appeared for many days, four or five days had passed since the incident.

In the past four or five days, the situation has changed, and one thing has already overtaken another, and the changes are unpredictable.

Because of the Seventh Prince's matter, Pei Changge and Ye Chongwu's "funeral" was changed from a big one to a pre-burial.Everyone knows that it's just a tomb, so most of the people who come to express their condolences are acquaintances and relatives of the two families, and there are not many visitors.

The third lady is so heartless, she first secretly regarded the missing Second Master Pei as a lazy person, scolded him for a while, then turned around and went to drag Ye Kui to meet the guests.

Chi Po was trembling with anger, and didn't care that she was just a servant, so she reprimanded in a cold voice in front of the third madam: "Third madam thinks this is a happy event, and still wants to invite my wife to treat guests in person? My family Madam is pregnant with Liujia, and she is inconvenient to move, and these days are even more sad, how can I let you make troubles at will! Forgive my wife for not being with you!"

"Old Diao Nu!" The third lady also turned blue with anger, but after all she was at fault, she muttered a few words and then led her away with a shake of her sleeves.

With such a person in charge of the house, it is true that even a funeral should be turned into a happy event by her.

In the eyes of the third lady, those who offer condolences are all here to curry favor with her, she is very happy, how can she remember that this group of people are here to express condolences!

"This time, I don't know how many people saw the Pei family's joke." Pei Changge said with a self-deprecating smell as he smelled the increasingly strong smell of incense ash in the air.

Ye Kui caressed her belly, waved to him, and said, "Come on, come on, the monkey boy is moving!"

Pei Changge rushed to her side with big strides, and while quickly bowing his head to listen, he said, "Obviously it's my child, why is it a monkey child!"
