The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 112 Xu Zhao's Death
Concubine Rong immediately frowned when she heard the words: "Then why didn't you remind me?" As she spoke, her eyes fell on the coffee table in front of her. A few kinds of fruit.She immediately waved her hand and said, "Mother Xue, go and deliver these plates of fruit to the Crown Princess! Send more."

"Yes, I obey!" Madam Xue replied with a smile, and when she was about to walk to the door, she couldn't help but turn her head and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"Say!" Concubine Rong frowned, and said, "Don't hesitate, this palace hates such a person the most!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Madam Xue didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Today, when the slaves went to invite the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince was actually there too."

Concubine Rong was taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately asked: "Yu'er is here? Did he say anything?"

"The slave girl stood far away, listening vaguely, as if the prince was coming, but was stopped by the princess." Madam Xue racked her brains to think: "Later, His Royal Highness went out of the palace. I know what I'm going to do, and I brought a lot of guards..."

Concubine Rong was taken aback when she heard the words, but soon laughed: "This princess! She said she didn't care, but actually she cared a lot! She sent His Royal Highness to act secretly. I believe it will be soon. There are variables in this matter, I will just wait and see!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Madam Xue flattered quickly.

However, the next moment, Concubine Rong's face darkened: "This woman is so courageous! How dare she order my Yu'er to do something!"

……

It will be late, and the lights will be on.

Chunxiangyuan, the largest and most luxurious brothel in the capital, was already full of people coming and going.

In a super-large luxury box on the left side of the corridor on the second floor, dozens of beautiful girls walked back and forth, all covered in light gauze, their exquisite figures looming in the orange candlelight, making people's blood spurt.

On the main seat, sat a middle-aged man hugging left and right, dressed in luxurious robes, round face, smiling eyes with only two slits, and that chubby figure. Everything about this man is indicative of the identity of this man.

"Third prince, you are really bad..." A girl standing on the left side wrapped her slender arms around the man's neck, her whole nephrite and warm body was tightly attached to the man's body, giggling, The voice was as beautiful as a silver bell, and said: "The emperor has given you a marriage, why are you still looking for our sisters?? Aren't you afraid that the new princess will be jealous?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." The third prince said with a smile, pulled the girl over, leaned forward and kissed her, and then said with a smile: "But doesn't she have a month to pass the door? Now Is it too early to care about this king's affairs?"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the women around her immediately started giggling, the flowers and branches trembled wildly, and the fragrance of the powder was so strong, how can it be described as lively and heavenly fragrance.

"But, the new princess will be angry?" The woman who asked the question before giggled again: "I heard that she is a great beauty, and her own sister is also the princess of the dynasty. The background is tough, the prince be careful Kneel on the washboard when you get back!"

As soon as this remark came out, the women who provoked them giggled again.

The third prince's face changed involuntarily, but soon he laughed again: "So what if the backstage is tough? Is this king's identity so bad?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The third prince and the new concubine are a match made in heaven. They are both talented and beautiful!" When the women heard this, they knew that he was a little angry, and they couldn't stop praising him immediately.

The third prince's complexion improved after that, he took the wine glasses handed over by the women, and drank them all at once, his big fat palms couldn't stay idle, and began to move their hands up and down on the women.

The woman who was touched screamed, but she didn't dare to hide, but moved her body up a little bit.While they were having fun, suddenly the third prince pushed all the girls away.

"Third Prince, what's the matter with you?" There was a hint of shock on the faces of the girls.

The third prince did not answer, but stood up, closed the front of the clothes that had been ripped apart by the girls, hiccupped and said: "You guys play first, I'll go and relieve you, wait for me, I'll be right back !” As he spoke, he winked at the girls.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Then the third prince, go and come back quickly! Do you want us sisters to help?"

"Okay! Who will go with me?" The third prince said with a smile.

After the words fell, all the girls stepped back a little.

In the brothel, there was a experience where a prostitute accompanied a customer to go to the toilet, but disappeared out of thin air, so when the third prince mentioned this, everyone showed a trace of fear on their faces.

"It really is a group of whores!" The third prince sneered, turned around and left.

The guards at the door followed immediately.

In the room, all the girls had a look of embarrassment on their faces.

Guessing that the third prince had gone far away, one of the prostitutes suddenly said, "I don't know what he is proud of, but he has the nerve to laugh at us? He married a broken shoe, and he didn't know that he had been cuckolded for a long time. What a shame! ridiculous!"

"Hongliu! Don't say a few words! If you have no evidence, don't say a few words!" As soon as this remark came out, the room fell silent, and then other people spoke one after another to stop the woman.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Not only did Hongliu not stop talking when she heard everyone stop her, but she became more and more enthusiastic: "What I said is true! It's just that the third prince doesn't know it himself! He thought he was marrying a pure and pure celestial being, Who would have thought that this celestial being had already communicated with others about the music in secret!"

With a sound of "啪!", the rooms were pushed away from the outside, and the third prince stood outside the door with a livid face, his eyes glistening with bloodlust!
"Ah!" The girls exclaimed, and the prostitute named Hongliu rolled her eyes in shock when she saw this scene, and immediately passed out.

The third prince stood there with a livid face. When he was halfway there, he remembered that he had forgotten to take the most important piece of jade pendant on his body, so he went back to get it. Unexpectedly, he heard this explosive news.

Ye Xiangwan is no longer a virgin?Did Li Yu attack her?

A monstrous anger hovered over the third prince's chest, and he looked at the women standing in front of him with cold eyes.At this moment, in his eyes, these people are already dead.

But before dying, he must ask the truth.

"Go get water! Splash her awake!" The Third Prince said coldly.

"Yes! My lord!" A guard responded, and immediately turned and went to the outside room. A quarter of an hour later, he came in with a large bucket of ice water, and splashed it on the fainted Hongliu.

With a cry, the woman lying on the ground slowly opened her eyes.

"Close the door." The third prince said with a blank expression, walked in, and sat down again in the seat above him.

This time, all the girls huddled together and stood against the wall, no one dared to take a step closer to the Third Prince.

The red willow lying on the ground finally realized what a stupid thing she had done. She suddenly got up from the ground, walked up to the third prince, hugged his feet and begged: "Third prince! I just It's hysterical, it's nonsense! Please don't believe it!"

"Hysteria?" The third prince said with a half-smile, a bloodthirsty gleam appeared in his eyes, and suddenly he flew up, Hongliu's whole body was like a kite with a broken string, and it landed on the doorway, making a noise. One sound.

"Bring her here." The Third Prince said flatly.

A guard immediately walked over, picked up Hongliu like a chicken, and threw her in front of the Third Prince.

Seeing this scene, all the girls were so frightened that they almost fainted, and none of them dared to make a sound.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on, I may let you go." The third prince slowly bent down, took out a snow-white handkerchief, and twisted it with his fingertips. , gently wiped off the bright blood at the corner of Hongliu's mouth, and then said word by word: "If not, this king will make your life worse than death!"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly made a sharp move, and clamped Hongliu's chin fiercely!

"Ah!..." Hongliu let out a painful scream, and hurriedly said: "I say! I say! Please spare my life!"

"It's impossible to spare your life." The third prince heard the words, and said in a cool tone: "But this king can consider leaving you a whole body."

After Hongliu heard this, a trace of despair immediately appeared in her eyes!Both left and right are dead, so what's the difference between whether she said it or not?
Seemingly guessing what Hongliu was thinking, the Third Prince said in a leisurely manner: "With this king's identity, it is easy to find out your family members. If you are willing to say it, this king can guarantee to save your whole family's life, if not... "

The meaning of the words is full of menace.

Hongliu shuddered all over when she heard the words, and couldn't help but glance at the third prince. In the past, this prince always liked to sneak around in their flowery streets and willow alleys. He was kind and generous, so the girls in the brothel liked him very much. I can't wait for him to come every day. Everyone feels extremely honored to serve the Third Prince.

But now, she finally saw clearly the appearance of the Third Prince.It turns out that no matter how affectionate and flirtatious he pretends to be, the haze in his bones still can't stop him!Sure enough, the royals are ruthless!

Can she not speak?If she doesn't say anything, her family will die because of her!

Although those relatives did not consider her a relative for a long time, otherwise she would not have stayed in the brothel to greet customers with a smile.

"I said, I said..." Hongliu shouted with all her strength.

The hand holding her chin finally loosened.

Hongliu fell heavily to the ground, she raised her eyes and glanced at the cold-blooded third prince in front of her, and said in a trembling voice: "What I just said is true..."

"Who told you?" The third prince immediately asked back: "You are just a lowly prostitute, how could you know such a secret thing? With your status, there is no way you can enter Ningguohou's mansion!" He said with a sneer : "Don't use words to deceive me again! I don't have time to listen to you..."

"Yes, it was the son of the Marquis of Ningguo who told me." Hongliu said anxiously: "Two days ago, the prince of the Marquis of Ningguo, Ye Yuzhen, came to our Cuiyu Building. ..."

Hearing this, the third prince couldn't help being taken aback: "Ye Yuzhen?"

Afraid that he would not believe it, Hongliu immediately turned her head and said to the shivering sisters who were hiding aside: "You saw it when the prince came that day, right? If the third prince doesn't believe it, you can call Mama Hua to ask , she must know..."

Mama Hua is the old bustard of Cuiyulou.

After hearing this, all the girls nodded their heads one after another: "Ningguo Hou Shizi really came!"

After hearing this, the third prince believed it a little.

Ye Yuzhen, the eldest son of Marquis of the Ning Kingdom, is also a coquettish master who will die under the peony flower and be a ghost. It is not unusual for him to come to this Cuiyu Tower.There were a few times when the third prince came here to look for flowers and ask willows, he also met Ye Yuzhen.He also knew that when a man was drunk, it was indeed easy to reveal some secrets that he would never tell outsiders.

In this way, what Hongliu said is very likely to be true.

The third prince felt a deep sense of shame. He spent his whole life in the flowers, but the most despised women in the brothel were the most despicable women. However, it was these prostitutes who discovered that he was cuckolded.For a moment, he felt ashamed.

After that, there was a mad desire to kill.

Those who know the secret must die!
"Then did he say, who is the person who broke Ye Xiangwan's virginity?" After a long time, the third prince asked slowly.

Hong Liu shook her head and said: "The son didn't say his name, he just said that he is a servant in the Hou's mansion..."

servant?

Hearing this, the third prince's pupils suddenly shrank!
servant...

This shameless woman, looking at her innocent face, is actually such a lecherous woman behind her back!

He felt nauseous as if he had eaten a mouthful of feces, and almost vomited.

"I'll leave it to you here, so act quickly and don't make too much noise." After finally calming down, the third prince turned his head to the guards around him and said, "Remember, no one will be left alive!"

The guards have long been familiar with this, and they responded crisply when they heard the words: "Yes! Your lord!"

The third prince nodded in satisfaction. He didn't look at any of the trembling women in the room, turned around and strode away.

There were screams in the room behind him...

That night, the third prince entered the palace overnight.

I don't know what he said to the emperor, but I only know that when the third prince came out of the imperial study, his face was as black as ink.

……

"Then the third prince, did you ask my elder brother to clarify?" The next day was sunny, Ye Zhaoqing was sitting in the room, looking at Li Yu who was reporting the situation to her with joy, and asked slowly.

Li Yu immediately laughed when he heard the words: "Qing'er, you still don't know my third uncle well. As a person, the more he believes in something, the less he will ask someone to make it clear in person. He will only ask someone behind his back. Only my father and the people of the world were deceived by his chubby body, thinking that he is an idle prince who only knows how to eat, drink and enjoy himself, but this palace will not be fooled by this appearance to deceive."

"Really?" Ye Zhaoqing glanced at Li Yu when he heard the words, and said helplessly, "Look at your shy look! But having said that, the third prince went to see his father last night, and he must be talking about retiring the engagement Bar?"

"You're right this time." Li Yu nodded immediately when he heard the words, and said, "He was cuckolded for no reason. This is something a man can't stand, let alone my third uncle? He likes women. He was so happy that he went crazy, but now he just found out that the daughter-in-law he was about to marry is a broken shoe, he absolutely can't bear it!"

"I guess, he will definitely not tell the emperor about this." Ye Zhaoqing thought for a while, and said: "I will only try to get the emperor to agree to the dissolution of the engagement. However, the emperor will never agree, and will reprimand him!"

Li Yu smiled and praised after hearing the words: "You are right! Let's guess again, what will Uncle San Wang do next?"

"He won't go to the emperor again." Ye Zhaoqing thought for a while, and said: "The third prince is a smart man, and he won't do it a second time to offend the emperor, but he has already decided in his heart that Ye Xiangwan is not a virgin. body, then this tone, he will definitely come out on her. "

"Yes, in this way, your good sister will not have a good life!" Li Yu smiled and clapped his hands.When he was pestered by Ye Xiangwan in the Hou's mansion, he was really tired. Now that he finally has the chance to take revenge back, he feels so much more at ease.

If Ye Xiangwan knew that Li Yu thought this way, he might want to die, right?

"The third prince will definitely ask my elder brother to clarify." Ye Zhaoqing thought for a while and said, "Now we will wait and see how he will explain it to the third prince."

"That's not what we're worried about." Li Yu chuckled when he heard that, glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, and asked with concern: "Isn't Mother and Concubine making things difficult for you today?"

"No." Ye Zhaoqing immediately laughed when he heard the words: "Your mother and concubine just asked me to go over and talk, nothing else."

"Really?" Li Yu asked suspiciously.

"Can I still lie to you?" Ye Zhaoqing asked back, smiling, "Your Highness, may I ask you to do me another favor?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and just when Ye Zhaoqing thought he was unhappy, Li Yu said, "Qing'er, do we need to be so polite between you and me? If you need anything, just tell me, why bother?" How about saying thank you?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth." Ye Zhaoqing smiled at Li Yu after hearing this, and said, "I need your Highness to lend me a few people..."

……

The back residence of the Lin Mansion is located at the entrance of Changshun Street. It seems to be lively, but it is actually remote, and few people usually come.

When it was getting dark that afternoon, the corner door suddenly opened, and a handsome young man walked out, wearing a long indigo blue coarse cloth gown. After he went out, he looked around with his eyes. After confirming that no one was there, he touched his bulging waist, lowered his head and left quickly.

Turning across the long street, he blended into the lively crowd. It was dusk, and the street was full of ordinary people rushing home. The young servants kept their heads down and their waists bent, shuttling among the crowd, and soon disappeared.

An hour later, he appeared in a remote alley in the northwest corner of the capital, looked around furtively, and made sure no one noticed him, so he walked into the alley.

The terrain in the alley is a bit low, because it rained only two days ago, there are still some small puddles that have not dried up on the ground, the man panicked and only looked behind him, not paying attention to his feet at all. Splashing, especially loud in a quiet alley.

Suddenly, the young servant stopped and stared ahead with a wary expression.

A moment later, in the originally empty alley, dozens of masked men in black suddenly leaped down from the roofs of the houses on both sides.It was encircling, surrounding the young servant in the middle.

With a sound of "Shua!", everyone pulled out their sabers from their waists, and the young servant who was frightened by the cold and sharp blade was almost fainted. Said: "All heroes, why do you stop me?"

"Your name is Xu Zhao, right?" The leading man in black glanced at him indifferently, and said expressionlessly, "I heard that your wife just died?"

Hearing this, the young servant named Xu Zhao suddenly had a weird look on his handsome face. Instead of answering the man in black's question, he asked instead: "Are you sent by the princess? I knew she wouldn't let me go!"

"You're wrong, we are not from the Crown Princess." The leader of the man in black smiled sinisterly and said, "We are from the Crown Prince."

"It's all the same!" Xu Zhao's face was full of horror, but he still pretended to be calm: "The world says that the princess is virtuous and generous, but I don't think so! Ling'er just died, and she came to kill me. Isn't she afraid that Ling'er is in the sky? Do you want to die with peace?"

"You really like to argue." The leading man in black glanced at Xu Zhao's trembling hands, smiled mockingly, waved his hand, and the masked man standing behind surrounded Xu Zhao.

"You... what are you doing?" Seeing this, Xu Zhao turned pale with shock, and suddenly let go of his voice and screamed loudly: "The princess concubine bought a murderer! Come help me..."

He was only halfway through speaking when he abruptly interrupted.

A guard standing behind Xu Zhao slammed his hand and cut Xu Zhao's neck fiercely. When his eyes went dark, he passed out.

"Idiot!" The leading masked man cursed in a low voice, and said expressionlessly, "Take it away!"

The next moment, this group of people quickly disappeared into the night just like when they came.

"Bang!" A basin of cold water poured down, and Xu Zhao, who was unconscious in the corner, trembled twice, and then opened his eyes.

The house was brightly lit, people were standing in all directions, and the doors and windows were nailed shut.

This is an unknown basement on the long street in the capital. If he dies here, no one will know.

With just one glance, Xu Zhao understood his current situation, and a trace of despair suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Aren't you pretty good at talking just now?" A middle-aged man with a scar on his left cheek walked up to Xu Zhao slowly, and said slowly, "Come on! Now I'll give you a chance, let's talk!"

Xu Zhao trembled when he heard this, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"You said it!" The man with the scar became impatient, and suddenly shot, slapped Xu Zhao's face several times like lightning, and said angrily: "When you seduce other people's maids, you are so bold. You are still shouting so loudly outside, I thought you were quite brave? I didn’t expect you to be a wimp!”
