Absolute protagonist
56 The world is a chess game7
Bang——
The door of the bedroom was shut tightly, and a group of guards surrounded the entire hall tightly.
The fourth prince stood with his hands behind his back, and explained the emperor's plan clearly like a storyteller.
The prince stood in the hall in shock when he suddenly learned the truth, with a complicated expression on his face and full of regret. If he had known this earlier, how could he have attacked the emperor, and now the fourth prince took advantage of it?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously began to blame Chu Si who provided him with poison, and blamed those staff members who did not dissuade him, and even secretly resented the emperor who never told him the truth, but sat behind the scenes and let him fight with the fourth prince like a jumping clown.
The prince, who threw all the responsibilities on others, completely forgot that the idea of patricide was originally from his heart, and others were just following the flow.
The emperor's face was even uglier. After all, he had a good reputation all his life, otherwise he wouldn't have to work so hard to disguise himself, but now his true face was exposed mercilessly. Maybe it has been recorded in the emperor's daily notes by the historian, leaving an absurd mark in history. But now he couldn't even open his mouth to refute. He noticed the strange eyes of the ministers in the palace falling on him, and his hateful eyes were fixed on the fourth prince.
Facing the emperor's cold eyes, the fourth prince raised his eyebrows and laughed heartily.
He slowly stretched out his tone: "Father, don't be too grateful. If it weren't for your son to expose the truth, I'm afraid you would have passed the throne to the prince in a daze, and you wouldn't know who harmed you until you died."
"Hehe——"
This reminder once again ignited the emperor's anger, and the unspeakable feeling of frustration made his chest feel stuffy, and he felt that a sullen fire in his chest was burning more and more vigorously.
He wanted to struggle, but his body didn't obey. Yue Xiong's mouth kept rising and falling, and finally a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes widened, and he lay straight on the couch.
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
The ministers exclaimed a few times, and the prince was even more guilty. But they didn't bother to check on the emperor's condition, because they themselves were imprisoned and could not make decisions.
"In order to make father not lonely in the underworld, you, the third brother of the prince, go down to accompany him."
The light words blurted out, and the guards guarding the prince swung the butcher knife mercilessly.
The prince's body fell softly to the ground, and the splashing blood dyed the white jade carved beams red.
The three dukes and nine ministers in the palace witnessed this bloody scene, and their eyes looked at the fourth prince with more horror.
The fourth prince was indifferent, and there was even full of appreciation in his eyes. He turned his eyes to the ministers with interest, and his face was full of smiles looking forward to the start of a good show.
"Well, the court is still too crowded now. I thought only half of the people here would be enough."
As he said this, he threw the dagger in his hand and it fell to the ground with a clang. The blood on the dagger was hideous and cold.
The ministers in the palace looked at each other, their bodies trembling slightly. What a ridiculous request is this?
However, looking at the guards carrying swords and sabers in the hall, and the fourth prince surrounded by many guards, they dared not utter a word of no.
There is great terror between life and death. When life is in front, civility is lost, and all friendships and interests are empty talk.
On this day, blood flowed like a river in the palace. Many ministers who escaped death still felt immersed in a nightmare and could not wake up when they thought of what happened on this day many years later.
If they had framed their political enemies and stabbed them in the back before, it was just a light touch of the lips, and naturally there were others to carry out the execution. Then this time they were really fighting in person, facing the blood and terror of death.
From then on, this group of people were trembling with fear and treading on thin ice under the high pressure of the tyrant. No matter what unreasonable demands the other party made, they dared not disobey the other party. It was really because the fear left in their hearts was too deep.
Outside Yongjing City, by the Lushui River.
Princess Xinhua woke up slowly, and the sky was slightly pale as far as her eyes could see.
"... What happened to me?"
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have been knocked unconscious in the palace. She looked around in a daze and found herself lying on a piece of wasteland, and a familiar figure was standing not far away from her.
The sky-blue robe was like a mountain dyed in black, and the ebony-like hair was scattered behind him. The young man's elegant profile was not clear in the hazy mist in the morning, and only a beautiful and moving outline was vaguely revealed. Like a bright moon hidden in the mist.
Princess Xinhua looked infatuated, as if she was in a dream. She completely ignored her tied hands and feet.
Until the young man's clear voice woke her up: "Tell me clearly about your origins."
Princess Xinhua was stunned: "What, what origins?"
"You are not from this world."
Princess Xinhua keenly noticed that the other party's tone was not a question, but an affirmation.
She was completely frozen, and her previous obsession and admiration were swept away, replaced by a look of vigilance. After waking up, Princess Xinhua noticed that her hands and feet were tied. She looked even more terrified.
"I, I don't know what you are talking about..."
Seeing that the other party was still trying to perfunctorily pass it over, Chu Si smiled and shook his head. In the original body's memory, Chu Si had already discovered many flaws of this person.
For example, at first, this Princess Xinhua was a talented woman famous in Yongjing. The poems she wrote made the original body Chu Yuzhi admire her. The thoughts and artistic conception in them coincided with Chu Yuzhi, making him feel like a confidant. So he did not resist the approach of this Princess Xinhua.
However, after contacting her for a period of time, Chu Yuzhi was disappointed to find that this princess didn't even understand the most basic rhythm of poetry. How could she write such a masterpiece?
He suspected that the real author of these poems was someone else. After several euphemistic attempts, Princess Xinhua did not confess the truth. This made Chu Yuzhi extremely disappointed with Princess Xinhua's character, and his original enthusiasm faded.
One incident after another completely broke Chu Yuzhi's impression of Princess Xinhua. My cousin's family went to Beijing and stayed temporarily in the prime minister's house. Chu Yuzhi accidentally discovered that Princess Xinhua had a deep dislike for her cousin Lu Yingying, and warned Lu Yingying several times behind his back not to get involved with him - this was completely slandering his character and his cousin's reputation. After Lu Yingying died unexpectedly, Chu Yuzhi even discovered that it was written by Princess Xinhua. From then on, he had a deep dislike for this princess.
The Chu family has been married for generations, the prime minister has a high position, and Chu Yuzhi's displeasure with Princess Xinhua is clear. The emperor, who on the surface wants to portray the image of a wise king, will naturally not force a marriage.
However, as a pure native, Chu Yuzhi did not notice anything was wrong with Princess Xinhua, but Chu Si, who had obtained her memory, noticed it immediately.
…After all, these routines are so familiar.
He leaned forward slightly and met Princess Xinhua's evasive gaze: "Stop pretending, if you really like Chu Yuzhi, haven't you noticed the difference between me and him?"
Maybe others would only think that his temperament had changed due to deep hatred, but how could someone who truly loved Chu Yuzhi not discover the truth?
The corners of the young man's lips were slightly curved, and his clear and deep eyes were cold, as if he could completely cut open the person on the ground inside and out in an instant.
This feeling of lying on the operating table in a laboratory and being slaughtered made Princess Xinhua uncontrollably tremble.
At the critical moment of life and death, her IQ is above the line, and her heart is as clear as a mirror——
This mysterious man was so clever that he could take him out of the heavily guarded palace without leaving a trace. He must also be able to find out what she was doing to deal with the Chu family behind the scenes. Even if I confess and be lenient, I'm afraid it will be a dead end. If he refuses to say anything, he might still have a chance to survive.
So she said nothing.
On the distant river, a small boat sailed up through the mist, and the boatman docked the boat.
"Sir, let me come!" Qin Yi volunteered to jump ashore, his tattooed face cold and ferocious, "This kind of person is not worthy of your dirty hands."
He skillfully reached out and grabbed Princess Xinhua's feet, dragging her all the way to the shore, directly to the bank of the Lushui River.
Princess Xinhua's face was rubbed all the way on the grass, and there were blood marks scratched by the stones, and she kept screaming. After finally stopping, a pair of big palm-like hands suddenly picked up her head and pushed her head down into the river. A cold suffocating feeling surged over me.
After pressing for more than ten breaths, Qin Yi let go. Wait for the other person to take a breath and then press it again.
After several times of this, Princess Xinhua couldn't bear it any longer. She burst into tears and screamed, "I said, I've done anything! I'll tell you everything!"
…
"It turned out to be a time traveler..."
I learned all the truth from Princess Xinhua, and also seized a strange jade pendant - according to Princess Xinhua, she had such a jade pendant on her body no matter a thousand years ago or a thousand years later - Chu Si's curiosity My heart is greatly satisfied.
He threw the jade pendant into the system space and told Qin Yi, who was not far away to avoid suspicion, "Give her a good time."
After all, he took over the body of the original person. Although Chu Si could not empathize with the other party or even feel the hatred of the original person, but he could avenge the original person, so why not?
Qin Yi, who had stayed in the Chu family for ten years, felt a hundred times more hatred than Chu Si. Following the order, he kicked the woman prostrate on the bank into the cold river water.
After doing this, he felt extremely resentful and looked in the direction of Yongjing City with an unwilling expression: "Sir, those people...should we just ignore them?"
The morning light shines slowly in the sky, and the mist on the riverside is misty. The young man who seemed to be melting into the clouds smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, in my script, they have their own way back."
The water rippled and the boat floated leisurely down the river. Their figures disappeared into the early morning twilight.
royal palace.
One night passed, and the smell of blood permeated the dormitory. In the cold and calm atmosphere, the fourth prince stretched lazily. His face was full of satisfaction, as if he had enjoyed a big show or tasted a delicious meal, and his face was radiant.
But in the eyes of other people present, this evil smile was more terrifying than the monsters in myths and monsters.
"How's it going? Has he been caught?" The fourth prince asked in a good mood.
He was still very interested in Chu Si who came to him and expressed that he wanted to use each other.
The secret guard who suddenly appeared respectfully replied: "My subordinates are incompetent and let that man get away."
"Oh?" The fourth prince wasn't angry either. In his opinion, that kind of smart person would not easily put himself in danger.
He turned his eyes and looked around the hall, his expression suddenly changed.
Not long ago, the young man who took the initiative to come to his door to trade with him, his cold and determined voice like judgment, once again echoed in the mind of the fourth prince.
"Those who are ruthless and unjust will betray their relatives and friends, and they will die of illness and collapse."
——On the messy bed, the emperor's cold corpse showed convulsive and twisted features.
"Those who kill their brothers in pursuit of power will never succeed because of their power."
——Not far from the bed, the body of the prince, pierced by a sword, was lying on the ground. Not far from his hand was the unfolded bright yellow imperial edict.
"Those who are greedy for profit and forget righteousness will fight for no profit and eat each other to survive."
——The white marble floor was covered with blood, and corpses were everywhere. Those who barely survived were trembling and shivering among the corpses in the hall.
"Hehehe..."
The fourth prince suddenly lowered his head and let out a series of crazy low laughs. His handsome and almost weird face became more and more dazzling in the bright palace lanterns.
His laughter stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a sudden strong interest on his face.
"Is this the script you wove for them? You have already predicted my plan..."
The fourth prince's eyes passed through the door of the bedroom and looked outside the palace city. He seemed to see the leisurely back figure on the Lushui River.
"...I really don't know what kind of script you have written for me again?"
The author has something to say: Good night, my little cuties, see you tomorrow.
