Fortunate Young Gentleman

"Snapped!"

King Xin slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "I tried to take all precautions, but I still failed to take precautions!"

"What's wrong?" Princess Xin looked at him, suspicion flashed in her eyes, and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"It's okay." King Xin shook his head and said, "Something happened in the court, and I have to deal with it now."

He strode out of the door, and someone came forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is something fishy about the prince's assassination. Do you want someone to investigate?"

"Learning the bitter meat trick can be regarded as a skill." King Xin waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about him, let him do it on his own."

He looked at the man and said, "Take people to find the princess and bring back the people who are with her."

The man cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Prince's Mansion.

The prince of Chu State had gauze wrapped around his head and was lying on the bed. A maid beside him peeled the chilled grapes and put them into his mouth.

A young man walked in from the door, walked to the bed, waved to the two maids, and they immediately stood up, saluted, and slowly withdrew.

The young man looked at the prince and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the news has been released. The news of your assassination has been known to everyone."

The prince spit out the grape seeds and asked, "What did they say?"

The young man said: "Your Highness's trick is really clever. There are only the Crown Prince and the Regent in the capital. Even if the Regent doesn't want to bear the blame, he still has to bear it."

The prince sneered and said, "Isn't he famous? I want to see how he explains it."

The young man smiled and said: "If King Xin did not explain, the people would think that he acquiesced in the matter. If he forced an explanation, people would also think that he was trying to cover up. They would never have thought that His Highness would assassinate him..."

The prince waved his hand and said: "Okay, keep an eye on what's going on outside at all times. If there is any news, report it to me immediately!"

Not long after the envoys from Chen Guohe Grassland arrived in Kyoto, they were completely overshadowed by an incident before it aroused enough heated discussion.

The prince's car was assassinated on the street, killing several guards and even the prince himself was slightly injured.

This can be said to be the most serious case that has occurred in the capital in recent years. The current emperor is seriously ill, and the prince, as the crown prince, is also the only heir to the throne. If something goes wrong, the government will be in chaos. Therefore, as soon as the case comes out, it attracts enough attention. , Jingzhao Mansion Yamen and the Ministry of Punishment started investigating as soon as possible.

Jingzhao Mansion Office.

A few corpses were placed in the hall, all of which were the guards of the Prince's Mansion who had been killed this time. The policemen in the Yamen had already left in full force.

The governor of Jingzhao walked around the hall with a suspicious look on his face. He looked at the corpses and murmured: "Is the prince planning to start an uprising?"

A man hurriedly walked in, looked at the corpses on the ground, and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Jing Zhaoyin looked at the Minister of Punishment and said, "I was just about to ask you, is it the prince's side..."

"No one told me, and this doesn't seem to be the prince's method." The Minister of Punishment shook his head and said: "You and I both know that if the prince had wanted to, he would have been able to dominate the world long ago. Why wait until today?"

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head and said: "Today is different from the past. There is a close friend of this officer in the imperial hospital. He only revealed a piece of news to me two days ago."

The Minister of Punishment's eyes moved and he asked: "What's the news?"

Jing Zhaoyin took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's body may not be able to survive this year."

The expression on the face of the Minister of Punishment suddenly changed, "Seriously?"

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head and said: "If Your Majesty hadn't taken a few doses of life-extending medicine, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to survive now. The medicine is three-thirds poisonous. After the effects of those few doses of medicine have worn off, it will be hard to save him. "

The Minister of Justice looked out the door. The sky was clear and cloudless, but in his eyes, what he saw seemed to be gathering dark clouds, getting lower and lower and lingering for a long time.

He let out a long sigh and said: "The rain is coming, and the sky is about to collapse. How are you and I going to deal with it?"

Jing Zhaoyin clenched his fists and said: "There is a strong enemy watching on the grassland. Although Chen Guo and we are in alliance in name, they are actually on guard against each other. It took great difficulty for Chu State to reach this point. Do all the courtiers and people in the world have to watch Chu today?" The country was destroyed?"

The Minister of Justice looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"If the prince is not deposed, then Chu will be deposed!"

…

"If the world falls into the hands of the prince, will the people still have a good life?"

"The prince has done so many evil things over the years. God has no eyes to see. Why didn't he let the assassin kill him?"

"If the prince dies, King Xin will definitely not stand idly by and let Chu State do nothing. It is ten times better for the prince to be the emperor than to be the prince!"

As Tangning and Li Tianlan walked on the street, they heard countless similar remarks.

The prince of Chu State has long been called a beating among the people. This kind of statement is treasonous anywhere, but it is so popular in the streets and markets of Chu State.

Li Tianlan seemed to be used to this. He turned his head, looked at him and asked, "So you came to Chu State to prevent the marriage?"

Tangning nodded.

Li Tianlan looked into his eyes and asked: "Then are you stopping Princess Pingyang from marrying the prince, or are you stopping me from marrying to Chen Guo?"

"Both." Tangning thought for a while and said, "Both the Crown Prince and Prince Duan Kang are not good people. If you marry them, your life will be ruined."

Li Tianlan looked away and asked: "How can you stop it on your own?"

In fact, before arriving in Chu, Tang Ning did think it was difficult to stop the marriage, but only two days after arriving in Chu, he realized that this matter seemed easier than he thought.

He did not answer this question, but looked at Li Tianlan and asked: "If the prince really becomes the emperor, what will you do?"

Li Tianlan paused and did not speak.

The prince regarded Prince Xin as a thorn in his side, and he was afraid that the first thing he would do after ascending the throne would be to get rid of them. Tang Ning looked at her and said: "If you can't stay in Chu, you can come to Chen. No matter how long the prince's hand is, it can't reach Chen. I can protect you."

Tang Ning is very experienced in hiding people. Hiding a princess is hiding, and hiding more princesses is also hiding. There is not much difference.

And this is only the worst case. If Prince Xin thinks it through, he will call for the prince to be abolished, the princess will not have to marry, and the princess will not have to marry. This trip abroad at public expense can also come to a perfect end.

Li Tianlan glanced at him and said, "With your mediocre skills, protect yourself first."

Tang Ning was about to speak when a team of guards came hurriedly from the back and walked in front of Li Tianlan. The leader bowed and said, "Princess, the prince asked you to go back. There is something important to discuss."

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "You go back first. We will see each other another day."

The leader looked at Tang Ning again and said, "The prince said that this young master should go with him."

…

Laixin had visited the prince's mansion several times, but it was not until today that he could enter through the main gate.

Tang Ning waited in the living room for a long time and drank two cups of tea before a servant came in and said, "Young master, the prince is waiting for you in the study."

Tang Ning followed him to the door of the study. The servant stopped and bowed, saying, "The prince is inside."

Tang Ning knocked on the door and walked in.

In front of the desk, a figure was writing with his back to him. Tang Ning walked up to him, bowed, and said, "Tang Ning greets His Royal Highness Prince Xin."

Prince Xin looked back at him, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and blurted out, "It's you, you are Tang Ning?"

"So it's you, you are Prince Xin?" Tang Ning looked at the middle-aged man he met while fishing with Zhao Man yesterday, and spoke in surprise.

Prince Xin looked at him, frowned, and asked, "Who was the girl with you yesterday?"

For some reason, being looked at by Prince Xin with such suspicion and scrutiny, Tang Ning's mind inexplicably appeared the shadow of another person.

The way Mr. Tang looked at him on weekdays was exactly the same as Prince Xin's at this moment.
