Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 171 Murder of the Prince
The next day, Prince Chao and Xiaoluzi disguised themselves as the most common people, dressed in homespun clothes, and they couldn't find anything unusual among the crowd.

After the two dressed up, they sneaked out of the palace. The prince didn't want the people in the palace to know that he went outside to find someone.

They continued to go outside the city, and when they reached the hill outside the city, what they saw before them were the same farmer households from yesterday, this time the prince no longer searched randomly, but pretended to be passers-by.

The prince and Xiao Luzi led the horses along the path in front of the farmer's house, and saw a farmer chopping firewood in front of the door.

Xiao Luzi stepped forward and asked nicely, "Uncle, I'm thirsty from the journey, can I borrow a bowl of water?"

"Wait a moment." The farmer is also a simple and honest person, and he often helps people who pass by for water, and do things that are convenient.

He put down the work at hand, got up and walked into the house, and when he came out, he had two porcelain bowls with green edges in his hand, the workmanship was very rough.

Xiaoluzi and the prince couldn't see the rough porcelain bowl, and they didn't dislike drinking tea because they were thirsty.

Xiaoluzi chatted with the farmer while drinking tea, and he asked with a smile, "Uncle, are you a hunter?"

"Yes, our family has been hunting for generations, my little brother has good eyesight." The hunter replied proudly.

"The uncle is hunting in this mountain. Have you ever seen a manor? That is my uncle's house. I visited it once a few years ago, but this time, I forgot the way and didn't know how to get there." Xiaoluzi frowned. , with a frowning look.

"There is a manor in this mountain. It looks not small, but it is built in a valley between two mountains. If you want to walk, you have to go on the path on the side of the mountain and go around from behind. Walk in the direction of this hill, and you'll be there." The hunter lamented the little brother's difficulties, and said eagerly.

After listening to Xiao Luzi, his brows relaxed, he was in a good mood, put down his drinking bowl, and sincerely thanked: "Uncle, thank you, we are in a hurry, goodbye!"

"No thanks, no thanks, it's just two bowls of water, go slowly." The hunter replied briskly, two bowls of water are really nothing.

When the hunter turned to set the bowl, Xiaoluzi nimbly put a tael of silver next to the job the hunter was busy with just now, to express his gratitude.

Xiaoluzi and the prince inquired about the way, and they followed their advice. After a while, a manor appeared in front of them.

At this time the sun was about to slant to the west, the prince thought for a while, seeing that the manor was so secret, he might as well go in and check it out quietly.

The two walked along the manor wall and passed a lower house. The path nodded towards the prince, and the two jumped up to the house, lying on the eaves and looking down.

Below is a back garden. At this time, the garden is quiet and there is no one. There is a rockery in the garden, which can be used as a temporary cover.

The two looked at each other, reached a tacit understanding, jumped down together, and stood against the rockery.

The boudoir is usually set up in the inner courtyard of the back house. The prince pointed to the back door, and Xiao Luzi understood. The two of them were just about to lift their feet to the back door when there was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps.

The prince retreated in a hurry, but he didn't want his foot to slip a stone and made a slight sound.

"Who!" A guard shouted.

The prince and Xiaoluzi hurriedly hid behind the rockery, both very nervous, this was the first time for such a thing.

They looked at each other nervously, Xiaoluzi held his heart with one hand, hoping to slow down the heartbeat, shook his head at the prince, and put his hand to his mouth to silence the sound, signaling to stay still and not to speak.

The prince nodded nervously. At this time, he didn't know what to do because he was nervous. Xiao Luzi was more experienced than him. At this time, it was wiser for him to choose to listen to Xiao Luzi.

Xiao Luzi was also thinking about it, if he couldn't hide later, it seemed that he had to go out and show his identity, so as to save the prince, thinking like this, his heart was settled.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a gust of wind, and the trees in the garden slowly swayed from side to side, and there was a sudden "rustling" sound.

"It's just you who are suspicious, it's the wind, let's go." Another guard stretched his brows tightly, and said with a smile to the man standing in front of him who had just opened his mouth to scold.

As he spoke, he pulled the person in front to continue patrolling. The person being pulled walked forward while looking back at the rockery. He was still puzzled in his heart, and finally shook his head and followed the person in front.

The prince and Xiaoluzi hid behind the rockery, looked at the guards who had gone away, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Standing behind the rockery, the prince gasped for breath a few times, calmed down, and then walked resolutely to the backyard.

The prince and Xiaoluzi searched for each room in the backyard under the cover of trees and railings. After searching for a long time, they almost searched all over the backyard, but they did not see Miss Yun Zhaoranyun.

When the prince was at a loss, two maidservants walked with snacks in their hands and said, "Let's hurry up, lest the sweet-scented osmanthus balls get cold. Miss Yun has a good appetite these days, and she always needs something to eat at night... ..."

When the prince heard the word "Miss Yun", he was pleasantly surprised, as if he believed that the "Miss Yun" mentioned by the maid was the "Miss Yun" he was looking for.

The prince and Xiao Luzi quietly followed the two maidservants, and walked into a small courtyard.

The prince thought to himself, no wonder he didn't find it just now, it turns out that there is a side courtyard here, so it would be better, with fewer people.

The prince watched the two maids enter the door, and sneaked to the window to have a look.

I only saw a woman sitting with her back facing him at the round table in the room. This woman was wearing a pink gauze dress, with a graceful and exquisite upper body curve, which was extraordinarily charming under the dim candlelight. People feel extremely slender and lovable.

Especially there was a big red crystal hairpin on her head. Seeing this, the prince's heart almost jumped out, and he looked at her with blurred eyes. Isn't this the Yun Zhaoran he was thinking about day and night!

The prince was about to call out, but Xiaoluzi was always paying attention to the movement of his master and the surroundings. At this moment, Xiaoluzi covered the prince's mouth, with a nervous expression, and whispered: "Someone is coming!"

The prince and Xiaoluzi held their breath and hid outside the window. Fortunately, the night of the crescent moon was dark, and there was a large plantain plant next to the window to cover it. This place is naturally secluded and a good place to hide.

A person wearing a black cloak and a bamboo hat pushed the door and entered. Yun Zhaoran saw the person coming, the trembling hands under the sleeves showed her emotions, but her face remained unchanged and she bowed down.

The prince looked surprised, what's going on?How could Xiao Zhao worship this person?Who is this guy with the black hat?

"How are you preparing? Be careful these two days, the prince will come out of the palace to look for you at any time, once you see the prince, immediately attack and set off fireworks after you succeed." The man in the black bamboo hat ordered Yun Zhaoran in a low voice.

Yun Zhaoran said coldly: "Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will not disgrace his life, and will definitely let the prince come and go."

The prince was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help taking half a step back in fright, but accidentally stepped on half of a dead branch, making a small crisp "click".

The sound of broken branches was particularly harsh in this silent night, Yun Zhaoran suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Who is it?"
