Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 655 Zhao Defang is Dead

Zhao Dezhao didn't seem to notice Zhao Defang's abnormality, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty is a giant in the Ci circle today. Since returning to the palace, I heard that many new works have been circulated in the capital. Why don't you come to me to listen to the song? I met Li Yu once."

But Huarui hesitated and said: "I have also heard Li Yu's new poem, Chenqie, and it is beautiful, but it is too sad, sad and sad, it is unbearable to hear, let's change to another song."

Zhao Dezhao disagreed, and said: "Li Yu is a king of a subjugated country. How can he not be sad when his true feelings are leaked? In this world, who has no sorrow, who has no sorrow? But how many people can express their great sorrow and sorrow in lyrics and music? Between? I didn't know much about Li Yu in the past, and today I'm going to visit this former monarch and today's prisoner, how much grief is buried in his heart?"

After a while, a group of female singers rushed in and sat down. When the cloud board rang, the zither, zither, and reed sang in harmony, and the fairy music began to linger in the hall.

Mrs. Huarui patted the music and began to sing and dance.The first song is "Midnight Song" recently filled in by Li Yu: How can we avoid sorrow and hatred in life, and what is the limit of ecstasy alone.The return of the dream of the homeland makes me cry.Who will go up the tall building?Long remember Qiu Qingwang.The past has become empty, but also a dream.

While singing, Mrs. Huarui occasionally gave Zhao Defang a wink, which made Zhao Defang blush and gradually felt unable to control herself.

During this process, Zhao Dezhao kept his eyes slightly closed and tapped lightly on the couch with his fingers, as if he was listening and chewing intently.

Mrs. Huarui saw that the song was over, and Zhao Defang was able to control her emotions without any abnormalities. She was a little surprised that this little prince was indeed the apprentice of Xiangfu King Yechen, and his will was so strong.Thinking of this, Mrs. Huarui sang another song, but it was "Wu Ye Cry": Wu Yan went up to the west building alone, and the moon was like a hook.Lonely Indus deep courtyard, locked in late autumn.The constant cutting, the reason is still chaotic, it is the sorrow of separation.Don't be a taste, in my heart......

Mrs. Huarui's weeping singing had not yet ended, Zhao Dezhao sat there still motionless, and still slightly closed his eyes, as if he was immersed in the ocean of music.

However, at this moment Zhao Defang stood up suddenly, holding the wine glass, swayed off the table and walked towards Mrs. Huarui.And the latter showed a trace of panic at the right time, stopped singing and dancing, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, King Yan is too young to drink. Why don't you let someone help you down to rest!"

Only then did Zhao Dezhao slowly open his eyes, looked at Zhao Defang in surprise, smiled slightly, stood up, walked towards Zhao Defang, and said, "Defang is really drunk, someone helps King Yan go down to rest."

However, at this moment, Zhao Defang looked at Mrs. Huarui's pink cheeks, which were as delicate and charming as peach blossoms in March, and the few locks of black and shiny black hair hanging down, and couldn't help feeling agitated and unable to control herself.Out of fear, she suddenly rushed towards Madam Huarui. Madam Huarui screamed, staggered, fell to the ground, and then swung the pipa in her hand, hitting Zhao Defang's legs.

Seeing this, Zhao Dezhao felt a trace of guilt flash away in his heart.

According to Mrs. Huarui's plan of killing two birds with one stone, Zhao Defang lost his composure after drinking and molested Mrs. Huarui. The latter accidentally broke Zhao Defang's legs with a special pipa, making him disabled. It is absolutely impossible for a disabled prince to become emperor. In this way, the threat to him is completely lost. The process may make Ye Chen suspicious, but in Zhao Dezhao's view, Ye Chen should not kill him for this.Mrs. Huarui will commit suicide in shame and anger that night.Of course it was a feigned death, and Zhao Dezhao continued to hide him in the palace under another identity for his lustful pleasure.

For Zhao Dezhao, this is indeed a wonderful plan to kill two birds with one stone.However, the development of the following things was beyond Zhao Dezhao's expectation, and made him regret to death.

The special pipa in Mrs. Huarui's hand did hit Zhao Defang's leg, and the person who held it did indeed break her leg and fell backwards. Zhao Dezhao, who was catching up, held her in her arms.Zhao Dezhao quickly said the lines he had thought up a long time ago: "Miss Huarui, how could you strike so hard, hum! I will send you to Baihua Temple when I understand, so that you will be lonely forever."

Mrs. Huarui got up in panic, her face flushed with shame and anger, she covered her face and ran out crying, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Then Zhao Dezhao said loudly: "Come here, tell the imperial doctor to see the injury on King Yan's leg. Hurry up..."

However, before he finished speaking, several court ladies and eunuchs screamed, and one of the eunuchs who came over to take over Zhao Defang from Zhao Dezhao looked terrified, pointed at Zhao Defang, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... ...Your Majesty, the King of Yan, he...he seems not...to die."

Zhao Dezhao was taken aback when he heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, he quickly lowered his head to look at Zhao Defang's face, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Little brother, little head! What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you. You can't die! Come on, come on!" Chuan imperial doctor, you idiots."

At this time, Zhao Defang was vomiting black blood, his face was pale, his lips were purple, it was obvious that he had been poisoned.Looking at Zhao Dezhao at this time, gasping for breath, he said with difficulty: "Brother Huang, tell me, it's not you who want to kill me, it's someone else!"

Zhao Dezhao said with tears in his eyes, "Little brother, I never thought of killing you. I can swear to God."

Zhao Defang continued to vomit black blood, laughed miserably, and said, "I really don't want to die! I still want to marry Shui'er."

Not waiting for several eunuchs to rush out of the palace to ask for the imperial doctor, Zhao Defang tilted his head and remained motionless as soon as he finished speaking, but he was completely out of breath.

"Ah... what's going on here." Seeing this, Zhao Dezhao burst into tears, with a look of sadness and regret.Then he remembered that Zhao Defang died in his arms, and Ye Chen would return to court in four days.Zhao Dezhao suddenly looked terrified.

"It's the medicine that has a problem, it's the pistil... The medicine was given to me by the pistil, and it's that bitch of the pistil. Come on! Go and arrest that bitch of the pistil for me, only she can testify for me... I didn't kill my little brother."

At this time, Liu Shouzhong ran into the palace with a group of guards, seeing Zhao Defang who had died on the ground, his expression changed.

Zhao Dezhao, who was already in a panic, saw Liu Shouzhong coming in, and finally regained his composure, and said, "Liu Aiqing, quickly send someone to arrest Mrs. Huarui, he is the one who killed King Yan."

Liu Shouzhong hurriedly sent a pair of people to Huarui Palace, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please tell me the process carefully, so that I can help you solve future troubles."

Zhao Dezhao was terrified, glanced at the more than 20 panicked maids and eunuchs in the palace, and said, "They all saw that King Yan drank the wine I poured, and killed them all."

Liu Shouzhong did not order the killing right away, but ordered to arrest all the maids and eunuchs in the palace first, and then looked at the panicked Zhao Dezhao, full of disappointment, and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to panic, first of all The most important thing is how to deal with the aftermath of this matter. The minister thought that he must quickly let Zhao Xianggong enter the palace to discuss this matter."

Zhao Dezhao was indeed terrified at this time, and he was at a loss for what to do.When Liu Shouzhong said this, he also reacted, and quickly said to him: "Then please send someone to the prime minister's mansion quickly, and call Zhao Xianggong to the palace overnight."

Zhao Pu came soon, and Zhao Dezhao ordered all the eunuchs, court ladies and other people to leave the hall, leaving only him, Liu Shouzhong and Zhao Pu here to plot.And at this time, the guards who went to catch Mrs. Huarui had already returned, so naturally they were all in vain, and Mrs. Huarui had mysteriously disappeared.

After Zhao Pu heard Zhao Dezhao tell the whole story, he secretly scolded Zhao Dezhao for being stupid and didn't discuss such a big matter with himself, but in a blink of an eye, this matter involved His Majesty's desire to secretly hide Mrs. Huarui in the palace Of course, he would not tell himself.After pondering for a while, Zhao Pu sighed, and said: "From this point of view, Mrs. Huarui is probably the dark son of the Holy Church. The Holy Church colluded with King Jin, and the plan was very big. After the death of King Jin, the Holy Church planned to destroy it for many years. Once, how can she be reconciled. That's why Mrs. Huarui designed to kill King Yan and planted it on His Majesty, so that King Xiangfu was furious and shot at His Majesty. On the day King Jin died, Zhao Heng, the eldest son of King Jin, disappeared. Now it seems that most of them are in the hands of the holy hall. If Ye Chen really dares to do something outrageous, if something happens to His Majesty, the rebels of the holy hall will find a way to make Zhao Heng the emperor."

Zhao Dezhao heard the words, but his face became paler, and he said in a broken voice: "I also ask Zhao Xianggong and Liu Aiqing to save me."

Zhao Pu was speechless for a moment, Liu Shouzhong gritted his teeth, and said: "When Ye Chen returns to the capital, it is better to trick him into the palace, and lead five thousand cavalry to surround and kill him, but I can't do it. Ye Chen really has three heads and six arms. Even if he can really become three-headed and six-armed, I have the confidence to kill him to prevent future troubles."

Zhao Dezhao was a little moved, Zhao Pu shook his head, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, don't forget the three eunuchs who suddenly exploded into a cloud of poison last time, I was afraid that General Liu would kill Ye Chen, but Your Majesty also encountered an accident. What's the use of Ye Chen's death at that time. What's more, I think Ye Chen is not that easy to kill."

Speaking of this, Zhao Pu sighed, and said: "Besides, the Huaxia Weifu's spies' lurking disguise technique is really terrifying. I'm afraid of what happened tonight. Even if all the court ladies and eunuchs present were killed, Ye Chen might still be there." Knowing this, what's more, the Holy Hall will definitely find a way to spread the rumor that His Majesty killed King Yan. Therefore, according to my guess, Ye Chen has not returned to the palace, and even at this moment, people from the Huaxia Weifu inside and outside the capital have already started All kinds of preparations, even vigilance and precautions against His Majesty, even if the army is mobilized to besiege the Huaxia Weifu like King Jin did at this time, it is probably useless. Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult to kill Ye Chen."

Zhao Dezhao said as if mourning his concubine, "Then what should I do?"
