First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 771: Tear the Prince to pieces (1st update)

Gu Changqing froze and looked at the shadowy man in front of him in astonishment.

The man was wearing a black robe and a black cloak. His face was hidden in the darkness, revealing only a pair of eyes that were colder than the sword.

The man's long sword stabbed in again, piercing Gu Changqing's chest.

Then the man coldly pulled out his sword, and the blood that splattered was blocked by his sword.

Gu Changqing fell to the ground like a puppet that had been drained of its strength.

The little mute slave was too frightened to move.

The man didn't even look at the little mute slave. He only ordered the guard who came behind him: "Get rid of the body."

"yes!"

　　The guards should exit.

One of them knelt down, reached out his hand and touched Gu Changqing's neck. He was really breathless.

The prince's palace could not accommodate such an unfortunate thing as a corpse, so a few people found a dilapidated trailer and threw Gu Changqing's body into the carriage.

　　A muffled thunder sounded in the sky that had been sultry all day.

 It looks like it’s going to rain.

The guards covered the body with a straw mat and walked out through the back door of the Prince's Mansion.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and I met many pedestrians in a hurry along the way, all trying to find shelter from the rain in advance.

“Oh, what a bad luck, why are we two again?” said one of the guards driving the carriage.

 Another guard said happily: "It's good to go out for a walk. Don't you feel bored staying at home all the time?"

“But I have to go to the mass graves soon. They are full of rotting corpses, and sometimes you can see severed hands and feet. If you are not lucky, you may come back with a bad disease.”

 “What you said scared me.”

 Half an hour later, several people arrived at the mass grave that exuded the smell of death and decay. The corpses here were not buried on the spot, but mostly just dumped on the ground.

The smell brought by the breeze is nauseating, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the crows are chirping, which is really chilling down the spine.

 “Throw it back quickly! This place is too **** scary!”

“Then, just stop here and don’t get too close.”

 The two of them parked the carriage near the mass grave, and then they jumped out of the carriage to carry Gu Changqing's body.

 But when the two of them opened the straw mat covering the body, they found that the body in the car was missing!

 The expressions of the two of them changed, and their first reaction was to look under the carriage.

The guard asked: "What's going on?"

 There is nothing under the carriage.

The companion said fearfully: "No, I don't know. Could it be a fake corpse?"

The guard frowned: "No, please notify His Highness immediately!"

-

“He was hit by my sword and he still didn’t die.” After hearing the report, the man in black robe glanced at the guard, put down the tea cup in his hand and said to the prince, “This guy is interesting, I’ll go and capture him.”

The prince stopped the man in black robes and said, "Wait a minute, he was hit by sir. He was seriously injured. He must not be able to escape far. Just leave the search to the guards. Sir, it is better not to expose your identity."

The man in black robe said slowly: "It's okay, my sword damaged his foundation. Even if he escapes by chance, he won't survive tonight."

The prince stared at him and said, "I have to watch him die with my own eyes before I can feel relieved."

-

"It's raining again." Gu Jiao pushed her wheelchair to the window and took the hanging rod to hook the pole of the window. Just when she was about to close the window, a wet figure fell from the sky, shook her body twice, and plopped He fell to the ground with a sound.

 Heavy rain poured down, scattering pedestrians on the street.

Wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, the royal guards of the Prince's Mansion ran wildly in the heavy rain.

When they rushed to the entrance of the Imperial Master's Palace, several people tightened their reins and stopped the running horses.

The Jin Yiwei headed by the leader said coldly: "Are you sure this is here?"

Another guard in golden clothes said: "Yes, sir, I followed him here and watched him climb over the wall and enter the Imperial Master's Palace with my own eyes. Sir, do we want to go in and search?"

The leader of the Jinyi guards looked at the majestic plaque of the Imperial Master's Palace in the heavy rain, and snorted: "Is the Imperial Master's Palace a place that can be searched casually? Lieutenant Guan Du was turned away when he came to search in person. You and I can't do anything. A few imperial guards are not even qualified to enter the Imperial Master's Palace!"

Jin Yiwei asked: "What should we do?"

The leader of the Jin Yiwei frowned and said: "You guys, guard all the entrances to the National Master's Palace, and guard the walls. Once he escapes, take it down immediately! I will inform His Highness!"

"yes!"

The Jin Yiwei led by him quickly returned to the Prince's Mansion and reported the truth to the Prince about Long Aotian's escape into the Imperial Master's Palace.

The prince was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table: "He knows how to hide!"

The only place in the entire city that cannot be searched arbitrarily is the Imperial Master's Palace. Even if Long Aotian hides in the palace, it is not that difficult. After all, the reasons for searching the palace are easy to find, but the reasons for searching the Imperial Master's Palace are too few.

 Say you got an assassin?

The Imperial Master’s Palace will say that we will find out the assassin ourselves, so His Highness the Crown Prince will not bother.

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "He knows too many secrets, we cannot let him fall into the hands of the Imperial Master's Palace. Come here! Prepare the carriage! I am going to the Imperial Master's Palace!"

 Two quarters of an hour later, the prince's carriage arrived at the Imperial Master's Palace.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The disciples from the Imperial Master's Palace came forward to greet him.

The prince opened the car window and said to the disciples of the Imperial Preceptor Hall: "I want to see your Imperial Preceptor."

 The disciples of the Imperial Master's Hall were busy passing the news.

Not long after, the Imperial Master walked out calmly, with Ye Qing holding an umbrella beside him.

 “Your Highness the Crown Prince.” The Imperial Master greeted him calmly.

The prince was still sitting in the carriage, and his eyes fell on the stern face of the Imperial Preceptor. He had seen the young appearance of the Imperial Preceptor. He was a handsome man who was not inferior to An Guogong.

　　Time flies, and the years are wasted.

 There are lines and vicissitudes of life on the face of the Imperial Master.

 Rainy days always make people sentimental. Look what he was thinking about.

The prince gathered his thoughts and said to the Imperial Preceptor: "To be honest, there is a traitor in Gu's house. Gu's Jin Yiwei saw him fleeing into your Imperial Preceptor's Palace."

The Master said: "Really? Ye Qing, please take someone to search and see if there are any assassins mentioned by His Highness the Crown Prince in the Imperial Master's Palace?"

 Ye Qing: "Yes."

“Wait a minute!” His Highness the Crown Prince said in a deep voice, “You have to search by yourself!”

Ye Qing said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Your Highness, this is the Palace of the Imperial Master, not the Prince's Mansion."

 The implication is that you are not qualified to search this place.

The prince did not look at Ye Qing, but looked at the Imperial Master with blazing eyes: "What if I must search today?"

 The eyes of both parties met, and a strong murderous aura burst out from the prince's eyes.

His attitude is very resolute, he must search today even if he doesn’t search!

Even if he breaks up with him and is scolded by his father for being disrespectful to the Imperial Master, he still has to find Long Aotian!

 Finally, the Imperial Advisor gave in and said, "Ye Qing, take the Crown Prince to search."

The prince said arrogantly: "No need, the lonely man will search by himself!"

 The prince stepped out of the carriage.

 The guard on the side opened an umbrella for him.

The Imperial Master and Ye Qing stepped aside, and the Crown Prince walked past the two masters and apprentices with their royal guards in full majesty.

 Gu Changqing was seriously injured, and logically there would be blood stains along the way. However, the rain was too strong, and the traces on the ground had long been washed away by the rain.

The prince's royal guards were all-pervasive and almost turned the Imperial Master's Palace upside down, even the third floor of the Purple Bamboo Forest and the Library Pavilion.

 The Master of the State asked: "Has your Highness gained anything?"

The prince frowned and asked in a low voice the leader of the Jinyi Guards at the side: "Have you really entered the Imperial Master's Palace?"

 “Come in,” said the leader of the Jinyi Guards.

At this time, an older and experienced Jin Yiwei said: "Your Highness, there is still one place that has not been searched."

The prince said, "Where?"

 He said: "Qilin Temple!"

 …

 “You can’t go in!”

At the entrance of Qilin Hall, two guards in golden clothes were stopped by the disciples of the Imperial Master Hall on duty.

Jin Yiwei said coldly: "We are here to hunt down the assassins on the order of the prince!"

The disciple of the Imperial Master's Palace said: "We have no assassins here. His Highness Changsun and the Commander-in-Chief have taken a rest. Please don't disturb their rest."

Jin Yiwei sneered: "It's ridiculous, a mere grandson of the emperor dares to stop the prince's people!"

“A mere dog from the prince’s palace dares to criticize the emperor’s eldest grandson?”

Shangguan Yan's voice came unhurriedly from the back of the hall.

Although she was wearing a cane, her eyes were sharp, her aura was fierce, and she exuded a powerful royal aura.

The candlelight in the main hall was dim, only her slender and upright figure was illuminated, but suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire Imperial Master's Palace clearly.

At that moment, everyone saw Shangguan Yan Qingcheng's majestic face clearly.

 Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

They seemed to see the lady in the mighty capital come back—

Shangguan Yan walked out of the enthronement ceremony with her cane on her crutches. When she came to the door, her powerful aura as a queen made people instantly feel the pressure from her soul.

 The two Jin Yiwei took a step back unconsciously.

"Third sister, long time no see. How are you?"

 The prince came from behind with a stern face, followed by more than ten guards in royal robes. The pomp was huge, unlike Shangguan Yan who was acting alone.

Even so, there was no trace of fear in Shangguan Yan's eyes: "My father is not here, so there is no need to act like a brother and sister."

The prince smiled sarcastically: "Third sister, do you admit it? Your amnesia is just a fake."

Shangguan Yan said confidently: "If you have evidence, go to the king and report me."

The prince smiled and said: "Gu and Sanjie are brothers, how could Gu do such an unkind thing? In fact, Sanjie doesn't have to go to such trouble if she wants to return to Sheng. As long as Sanjie tells Gu, Gu will take care of Sanjie. Sister, take it back."

Shangguan Yan sighed: "Oh, you still like sweet potatoes so much."

The prince frowned.

I didn't respond to where this sentence started, and the next second he saw Jin Yiwei beside him and laughed.

 “Why are you laughing?” the prince asked with a frown.

Jin Yiwei whispered: "Your Highness, if you eat too many sweet potatoes, you will fart. She is saying that you like to fart randomly."

 Prince: “…!”

“After so many years, Third Sister really hasn’t changed at all!”

 Still so irritating!

Shangguan Yan spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that you have changed and become a lot older. Those who know know you are my brother, and those who don't know still think you are my uncle."

 The prince fell back in anger!

His management of state affairs has indeed gone through a lot of vicissitudes in recent years. He is not as carefree as Shangguan Yan cooking salted fish in the imperial mausoleum. What he was like more than ten years ago is what he is like now!

The prince clenched his fist tightly: "Third sister, don't worry about him. Today I am here to catch the assassin. If the third sister is blocking me like this, could it be that the third sister is harboring the assassin?"

Yes, if Long Aotian had nothing to do with the concubine, how could he take refuge in the Imperial Master's Palace at a critical moment?

 It turns out to be you, Shangguan Yan!

Shangguan Yan's eyes flashed and he said bluffingly: "Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, don't spit on people here!"

The prince narrowed his eyes. Are you feeling guilty, Shangguan Yan?

He said coldly: "Gu is here to catch the assassin today, and I don't have time to argue with you! If you don't want to get hurt, you'd better get out of the way!"

Shangguan Yan said: "What if I don't give up?"

The prince smiled coldly: "Then I have no choice but to offend you! Someone! Pull the third sister away!"

 “Stop!”

 Xiao Heng shouted sharply.

 He walked out of the corridor, walked through the lobby and came to the door. His tall body stood in front of Shangguan Yan.

 A disciple from the Imperial Master's Palace pushed Gu Jiao out and followed him.

The prince looked at Xiao Heng and then at Gu Jiao in the wheelchair, his eyes gradually became cold.

Wang Xu tested it out and found out that the person who lived in the Imperial Master's Palace was the real emperor's eldest grandson.

 But why does he always feel that there is something strange?

Xiao Heng glanced at everyone and said to the prince in a nonchalant manner: "Is the prince's hand stretched too far? My mother is here to recuperate in the Imperial Master's Palace. If you dare to let those servants take it, Touch my mother with dirty hands! Aren’t you afraid that the emperor’s grandfather will blame you!”

The prince said sternly: "Shangguan Qing, don't use your father to oppress me! As a prince alone, it is only natural to arrest the assassin. Even the imperial master has agreed. If you are wise, please get out of the way, otherwise I will arrest you as well!"

Xiao Heng showed no fear: "Then try it!"

The prince narrowed his eyes: "Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Jin Yiwei fiercely grabbed Xiao Heng's lapel.

 Gu Jiao’s eyes froze as she sat in the wheelchair, she quickly took off the gauze on her right hand, held on to the armrest and dodged forward, hitting Jin Yiwei like a cannon barrel!

She grabbed Jin Yiwei's neck, knocked him out of the Qilin Hall, and threw him **** the rain-watered bluestone floor!

There was a loud bang, and the rainwater on the ground was splashed three feet high, and drops of water were visible!

The man didn't even have room to fight back. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot!

 Everyone was stunned.

 The heavy rain pounded on her body, her black hair was wet, and her body in a young man's gown was thin but exuded terrifying power.

She turned around in the heavy rain and looked at the prince and the royal guards with ferocious eyes like a blood wolf: "Let me see, who dares to touch him?"

  Have you got a monthly pass earlier?
