First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 772

 Chapter 772 A family of drama queens (second update)

The Jin Yiwei retreated subconsciously. This was an instinctive crisis reaction, and they were unable to control it for the moment.

 The prince clenched his fists.

 He had witnessed the young man defeating the Shaolin monks in the knockout match. At that time, the young man was not so powerful.

 What exactly happened? The young man's strength increased so much?

Gu Jiao was actually surprised. After she finished the attack, she found that her strength had recovered a lot, and she was almost close to 50% of her previous life's strength.

 It seems that the fight with Han Ci was not in vain.

If there were six more Imperial Guards from the Prince's Palace, she would never be as embarrassed as before. She could defeat them all!

 The situation is not good. I never thought that this kid would become so strong. We don't have enough manpower to search...

 How abominable!

 The prince's fists clenched loudly.

At this moment, Zhang Dequan's voice suddenly came from behind: “The king has arrived—”

 Father is here? !

 The prince's expression changed.

 The next second, he secretly rejoiced.

His father came at the right time. As long as he said that an assassin broke into the house and might endanger the safety of Shangguan Yan, mother and son, his father would definitely agree to his search.

The prince winked at the leader of the Jinyi Guards on the side and whispered: "You will find it soon and you will know what to do?"

The leader of Jinyiwei whispered: "I know."

The prince looked at the direction where the monarch was coming and continued to lower his voice: "This is our only chance. If we don't deal with Long Aotian now, wait until they move Long Aotian to a safe place, then recover from his injuries and come back to expose us." At the end of the day, we are very passive.”

The leader of Jinyiwei understood: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will not give Long Aotian a chance to speak."

 When he finds Long Aotian, he will kill him with one knife!

 The king was provoked by the little princess, and the heavy rain could not stop the little princess from coming to the Imperial Master's Hall to meet her friends.

The palace people held a big oil-paper umbrella for the monarch, and the little princess was held in the arms of the monarch, with her small body hidden under the cloak.

 “Are you here?” Her cute little head emerged from under the cloak.

The monarch's face darkened as soon as he saw the battle at the scene. He did not let the little princess see it, but handed the little princess to Zhang Dequan: "Take the little princess in."

"Yes." Zhang Dequan hugged the little princess with her cloak.

"Where are we going?" the little princess asked, nestling in her cloak.

Zhang Dequan's expression was solemn, but his tone of voice contained a smile as if nothing had happened: "Go find the classmate of the little princess."

The little princess obediently said: "Well, okay!"

 Zhang Dequan took the little princess to Xiao Heng and Xiao Jingkong's house.

As the life-saver of the little princess, Xiao Jingkong also has the qualification to nurse his "injury" in the Guoshi Palace. The emperor's eldest grandson fell in love with him and was willing to let the little guy be his companion. This is well known to everyone in the Guoshi Palace. thing.

 In the room, the two little guys met. They faced each other and clasped their little arms, like two little chicks that had just emerged from the nest.

 “Xiaoxue, are you here?”

 “Yes, Jingkong, here I come!”

 Zhang Dequan gently closed the door from inside.

Outside the Qilin Hall, the monarch glanced at the tense prince and Xiao Heng, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Heng coughed weakly twice, changed his arrogance in front of the prince, and said aggrievedly and weakly: "Grandpa, your highness the prince bullied me."

The prince almost choked to death.

 He finally understood what was wrong with his nephew just now. How energetic and arrogant he was when the monarch didn't come!

The prince gritted his teeth: "Weren't you quite energetic just now? Why did you start to feel sick as soon as the father came?"

Xiao Heng did not deny it: "That's because no one supported me and my mother just now. If I don't work hard, am I going to watch you bully my mother?"

The corners of the prince's mouth twitched. What a shameless person he is!

Xiao Heng continued to complain. He looked at the Jin Yiwei who was beaten by Gu Jiao until he vomited blood and fainted, and said pitifully: "Thanks to Mr. Xiao for taking action in time, otherwise I would be the one lying there now. Mr. Xiao, don't be in the rain." You are still standing there, and you are still injured."

Gu Jiao walked to Xiao Heng's side.

The monarch looked at the fainted Jinyiwei, his eyes became cold, and he asked the prince: "Did your Jinyiwei attack Qing'er?"

The prince quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Father, please listen to my explanation!"

 Oops, why is this guy so good at complaining?

The monarch looked at Xiao Heng, who was pale, and then at Shangguan Yan, who was holding a cane, and said in a cold tone: "Okay, I'll just listen to what you want to explain?"

The prince secretly thought something was wrong. It was Shangguan Yan who was touched just now, so he just returned it. Although it was rude, Shangguan Yan was a commoner after all, so he had someone touch the emperor's eldest grandson.

The king did not depose the emperor's eldest grandson!

 The prince has a headache.

 But he couldn't let go of the only opportunity.

 He can only take risks.

He said: "Father, there was a traitor in Erchen's house. He tried to assassinate Erchen, but was injured by Erchen's guards. The guards tracked him and found that he had fled into the Imperial Master's Palace. The reason why Erchen insisted on searching, I was also worried that that person would hurt Third Sister and Qing'er, but for some reason I was blocked by Third Sister and Qing'er in every possible way."

 “Is there any?” The monarch looked at Xiao Heng and Shangguan Yan solemnly.

 Mother and son both shook their heads: "No!"

 Prince: “…!”

Shangguan Yan sighed and said: "It turns out that we are searching for assassins. Can't the prince explain it properly? We have to do it as soon as we come up. Those who know will say that you are here to arrest the assassins, and those who don't know will think that you are here to arrest me. Please go ahead."

 Having said that, she moved out of the way.

 Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao also stepped aside.

 The prince was almost mad at this mother and son who were confusing right and wrong.

However, why did Shangguan Yan suddenly dare to let him search again?

 Has Long Aotian been transferred?

impossible, his people have guarded the front and back gates of Qilin Hall, Long Aotian must still be in Qilin Hall!

 The prince led the royal guards into the palace to search.

When he passed by Shangguan Yan, Shangguan Yan said lightly: "Prince, when we were young, we played the game of hiding things, and you never won."

The prince's pupils shrank, he clenched his fingers, looked at Shangguan Yan coldly, and whispered: "Don't worry, Third Sister, I will never lose this time!"

More than a dozen Jin Yiwei split up and searched from room to room.

 The monarch, the prince, Xiao Heng, Gu Jiao, and Shangguan Yan were waiting in the main hall.

 Not long after, the guards in royal robes came to the main hall to return their orders.

 “Didn't find it?” the prince asked with a frown.

 Everyone shook their heads.

The leader of the Jinyiwei said: "There are still two rooms that I haven't found. One...is the room where the little princess is playing, and the other is the secret room that was controlled by the dead soldiers of the Imperial Master's Palace."

The prince turned to look at Shangguan Yan and the other three, and keenly noticed that the expressions of the three of them had changed slightly, especially the fake Xiao Liulang. He had to rush out to stop the Jin Yiwei.

The prince asked the king for orders: "Father, please allow me to search."

The monarch nodded to the prince, turned to a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor Hall, and said: "Call your Imperial Preceptor to come, I want to search the secret room."

 Gu Jiao's fists clenched and her arms became stiff.

Xiao Heng held her wrist comfortingly.

 All this was seen keenly by the prince.

 When the Imperial Master arrived at the Qilin Hall, the room where the little princess and Xiao Jingkong were had been searched by the Jinyi Guards, but nothing was found.

The prince said politely: "Master, please allow the people from the prince's palace to search your secret room."

 The Master of the State said: "That secret room is guarded by dead soldiers, and no assassin can easily break in."

"In case something happens to them and they leave or are lured away, can the Imperial Master guarantee that such a thing will never happen?" The prince did not doubt that the Imperial Master would deliberately cover up and kill the Xuanyuan family, and the Imperial Master also had a share. , he and the princess are enemies.

It was only for the sake of the monarch that the concubine was allowed to recuperate in the Imperial Preceptor's Palace.

How is it possible to help her hide people?

"This..." The Imperial Master glanced at Gu Jiao and said to the prince, "Does the Prince not trust the dead soldiers of the Imperial Master's Palace? I can assure you that there is no one hiding in the secret room."

The prince smiled and said: "The imperial master has repeatedly blocked it. Is there something hidden in this secret room?"

 The Imperial Master opened his mouth.

The king said impatiently: "Okay, stop fighting. Master, tell your people to get out of the way!"

The Imperial Master looked at Gu Jiao without leaving any trace, and Gu Jiao's little fists were tightened.

It's just that the king has issued an edict, and even if he is a national teacher, he cannot disobey the holy will.

 He said to the two dead soldiers: "Get back."

 The dead soldiers stepped aside.

 The Master of the State said again: "Ye Qing, Yu He, you go and open the door."

 “Yes.” The two of them agreed.

 The prince frowned and winked at the leader of the Jin Yiwei standing aside.

 The door opened after a while, remember to rush in immediately and kill Gu Changqing.

The leader of Jinyiwei understands. His Highness can rest assured that the younger one will not use the knife, but the younger one will use his internal power to shatter his heart.

 Ye Qing took the key from the hands of the two dead soldiers and brought Yu He to the door.

 When he went to open the copper lock, he suddenly found a drop of half-dried blood under the copper lock.

 Someone has been here!

 Ye Qing wanted to ask the two dead men, did you leave just now?

　　The words reached my lips and I swallowed them again.

He said nothing, inserted the key into the keyhole, made a big circle, and deliberately touched the iron door when taking off the copper lock.

“Is it so slow to open the door?” the prince asked calmly.

Ye Qing replied: "The door is very heavy, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince would open it in person?"

 The prince snorted.

 Ye Qing and Yu He worked together to push open the heavy iron door.

Yu He's skill is not deep, and Ye Qing uses little force, so the door opens slowly.

 No matter how slow you are, there will be times when you are completely pushed away.

When the empty room appeared completely in front of everyone's eyes, Gu Changqing's figure could no longer hide.

"It's you?"

 Yu He blurted out.

He never expected that there was actually someone here, and it was someone he knew.

Ye Qing also recognized Gu Changqing's face, but his temperament was calmer than Yu He's and he didn't make a sound in surprise.

The leader of the Jin Yiwei beside the prince was about to rush in to kill and silence him, but the prince raised his hand to stop him.

 The prince is a very smart man. If he remembers correctly, Yu He has never met Long Aotian.

 But why did Yu Hehui act like he was an acquaintance?

He turned back to look at Shangguan Yan and the other two people. Shangguan Yan and Xiao Heng were extremely nervous.

 Ah, it looks like something good is going to happen.

 Killing Long Aotian is the first choice, but it is not the best choice.

If it can be proven that Long Aotian colluded with Shangguan Yan, then his gains will be huge!

"This little master is called Yu He? Do you know this person?" the prince asked Yu He gently.

 Ye Qing closed his eyes with a headache.

How could he not see that Master wanted to protect Xiao Liulang?

 Yu He, this idiot, suddenly made Master's painstaking efforts in vain!

"I..." Yu He also felt the strong aura of his senior brother and was too frightened to speak.

The king said: "Just tell me, do you know this person?"

 Yu He bowed his head.

 “National Preceptor.” The monarch looked at the National Preceptor seriously.

The Imperial Master said: "Tell the truth."

Yu He received his master's approval and then spoke in a low voice: "He is a friend of the emperor's eldest grandson and Mr. Xiao, and has been to the Imperial Master's Hall several times."

The prince asked again: "When did he come here for the first time?"

 Yu He gave a date.

The prince laughed loudly: "This man only came to my house on the second day and said that he wanted to join me. The manager Pang Hai of the underground martial arts field can testify. Third sister, third sister, it turns out that he is your spy placed beside me!"

Gu Jiao stepped forward: "This matter has nothing to do with the former princess or the emperor's eldest grandson. He and I are both from the Zhao Kingdom. Just when His Majesty the King announced that I entered the palace to rescue the princess, I encountered a wave of pursuit. It happened that Mr. Gu arrived in time, and when there was an injustice, he drew his sword to help. Later, I learned that we were from the same hometown, so I became friends with Mr. Gu. I don't know why he went to the Prince's Mansion to work as an aide. He did come to the country afterwards. The few times we visited the master's palace, we were just communicating between fellow villagers."

 Prince: I believe you are the only one who has a ghost!

The prince wanted to say, Xiao Liulang, so this is how you got your position as commander-in-chief! There is Long Aotian secretly helping you cheat!

But the prince finally resisted rationally, because even if Long Aotian was a spy sent to him by Shangguan Yan, it was his idea to let Long Aotian participate in the selection on behalf of the Han family.

 It was he who broke the rules.

 Forget it, this is all a trivial matter. As long as it can be proven that Long Aotian does have contacts with Shangguan Yan and the other three, then Shangguan Yan will not be able to escape the charge of murdering the prince!

The prince sneered at Gu Jiao and said, "Don't take everything from yourself just because you are close to the emperor's eldest grandson. Do you know what crime this man committed just now? He assassinated the Crown Prince of Yan, which is a capital crime! The mastermind behind him Make it difficult for them to escape the heavy responsibility!"

Gu Changqing looked at the prince solemnly: "I didn't assassinate you."

The prince said: "Stop pretending, do you dare to have your injuries examined?"

Gu Changqing took a step back: "I'm not injured."

The prince sneered: "You will know if you are injured or not!"

After saying this, he turned around and bowed to the monarch, "Father, this man was stabbed with a sword by the guards of the son's house, and the wound was on his right chest!"

The king took a deep look at Gu Changqing and raised his finger.

The prince was overjoyed and said seriously: "Check the injury!"

The leader of the Jinyiwei stepped forward. Gu Changqing tried to resist, but was ruthlessly held down by the leader of the Jinyiwei.

 The prince thought to himself, after being struck by Mr.'s sword, do you think you still have the strength to resist?

The leader of the Jinyiwei swung open Gu Changqing's coat. However, as soon as he opened his coat, a confidential letter fell out.

Gu Changqing hurriedly stepped on it with his feet.

  The Chief of Guards in Jinyi picked up the secret letter one step ahead of him!

The leader of Jinyiwei opened the secret letter, took out the drawings inside and looked at them. His face suddenly changed color: "The map of the Prince's Mansion, the Han family's military camp defense plan..."

Hello, Long Aotian, you actually stole so many confidential things from Gu's hands!

However, you are really good at stealing!

You never expected that you would be searched out on the spot!

The prince just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times. It was not easy to prove that Long Aotian and Shangguan Yan were colluding at first. Now that the irrefutable evidence is out, there is no need to say more. His father will not believe that Shangguan Yan is innocent, right?

 After all, besides Shangguan Yan, who would be so deliberate in dealing with the Prince's Mansion?

 “Father!” The prince looked at the monarch emotionally.

The monarch's eyes fell on Shangguan Yan's lowered eyebrows: "What else do you have to say?"

Shangguan Yan said lightly: "I didn't. Anyway, you never believed me."

The king became angry and said, "Did you do it? I want you to say a word!"

Gu Changqing hurriedly said: "No! It's not the princess! It was my own idea! Everything has nothing to do with the princess! Your Majesty, if you want to punish, just punish me! I am willing to bear all the blame!"

The monarch ignored Gu Changqing and looked at Shangguan Yan sternly: "So it's really you?"

Shangguan Yan turned his face away.

The king was filled with anger: "Shangguan Yan, you have disappointed me so much!"

Gu Changqing said anxiously: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with the concubine. It's all my own actions! The concubine didn't know about it!"

The prince chuckled and said, "You are still trying to exonerate her even when you are about to die. You are really loyal to my third sister."

The king didn't want to see this detail again: “Take him off! He will be executed in Lingchi!”

 “Wait a minute!” Xiao Heng said.

The king looked at Xiao Heng angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't mess with it!"

Xiao Heng's tone was calm: "Grandfather, I just have a doubt. Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince clamor for an injury examination just now? Why didn't he continue after dropping this secret letter?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Well, it seems that they forgot to continue checking the injuries.

The main reason is that the evidence is irrefutable, and Gu Changqing himself indirectly admitted it, so it doesn't matter whether it is verified or not.

Xiao Heng walked toward Gu Changqing step by step, and Gu Changqing dodged backwards.

Xiao Heng stretched out his hand, and Gu Changqing suddenly broke away from the two Jinyi guards and hit Xiao Heng with a palm!

Gu Jiao pulled Xiao Heng away, grabbed Gu Changqing's shirt with her other hand, and pulled it all the way down.

Gu Changqing's gauze-wrapped chest was exposed. Gu Jiao showed no mercy and removed the blood-stained gauze.

 However, there were no wounds on his skin.

 The blood on the gauze is fake.

The prince was startled, wait, how could this happen? Where is his injury!

Xiao Heng showed an expression of sudden realization. He turned his eyes to the prince and said sadly: "Uncle Prince, you performed this play really well. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong in time, I might have let you get through. What did you do for You really went to great lengths to frame my mother!"

 “I'm not alone!” The prince was completely surprised and couldn't figure out what happened. Where did Long Aotian's injury go?

 It's definitely not a different person.

It's impossible. They searched the Imperial Master's Palace and found no hiding place.

What's more, this man clearly looks exactly like Long Aotian and has the same voice. How could he be a different person?

Just as the prince's thoughts were racing, Gu Changqing suddenly came to the door, activated his inner strength, and closed the iron door with a bang!

 The Imperial Master, Ye Qing, Yu He and others were all locked out.

 Only the monarch, Shangguan Yan, Xiao Heng, Gu Jiao, Gu Changqing, the prince and the leader of the Jinyi Guard were left in the secret room.

 “What are you going to do?” The prince looked at Gu Changqing warily.

Gu Changqing curled his lips evilly: "Master, haven't you seen it yet? This bad old man doesn't have you in his heart at all! The person he loves the most has always been Shangguan Yan! Shangguan Yan used a cruel trick to frame you in the palace. He Didn't you see the clues? But he just wanted to favor her! He just wanted to protect her! Today's plan was exposed. With this bad old man's extremely biased behavior, you can't be easily forgiven! In this case, simply Don't stop until you do it again! Kill them all! Then blame Shangguan Yan!”

Xiao Heng made a seamless transition, not giving the prince a chance to speak: "You are crazy! Are you going to regicide!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　No!

It's a pity that Gu Changqing didn't give him a chance to interrupt: “So what! Take the move!”

Gu Changqing pulled out his long sword and stabbed the monarch with one sword!

The king was still immersed in the anger of the "bad old man", and this **** boy actually called him a bad old man! !

The sword flew into his body, and the king was shocked.

However, the pain he imagined did not come - Shangguan Yan rushed over to block the sword for the monarch.

 Gu Jiao kicked Gu Changqing away!

 The long sword was also pulled out from Shangguan Yan's body!

Blood splattered all over the monarch's face mercilessly.

The monarch froze, and he hugged Shangguan Yan who fell in his arms almost instinctively.

Shangguan Yan was vomiting blood.

The monarch squatted down with her in his arms and used his hands to cover her wounds. She was stabbed through, and blood was pouring out of her back and chest, and he couldn't even cover it.

 The calm king also began to panic unconsciously: "Yan'er... Yan'er..."

 He hasn't called this name for more than ten years.

Shangguan Yan looked at him dying, tears welling up in his eyes: "I... don't want to block the sword for you... I haven't... forgiven you yet... but... you are... my father... I have... lost my mother... I can't… no longer have… Father…”

The monarch's heart suddenly clenched into a ball, and he felt severe pain: "Yan'er..."

Shangguan Yan's body temperature was rapidly decreasing, and her tears and blood were shed together: "I hate you...I hate that you always don't believe me...I waited for you in the imperial mausoleum...the imperial mausoleum...for so many years...you never...never come to see me …I hate you…hate you…”

 She cried sadly in the pool of blood.

 Most of the things in the world cannot be cherished until they are lost.

The king had never felt Shangguan Yan's death so clearly as before. He suddenly realized that he was losing her, losing the only flesh and blood between him and Xuanyuan Hanyan.

All the unpleasant past memories disappeared, and all that was left in his mind was Shangguan Yan's good deeds.

He held Shangguan Yan in his arms and couldn't help but feel a bit of swelling and pain in his throat: "I thought you hated me... didn't want to see me..."

On one side, father and daughter are separated for life and death. On the other side, Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing are fighting hard to separate each other.

The prince was completely stunned.

One after another, he was confused.

 Reason tells him that it is false.

 But everything is too real.

Gu Jiao kicked Gu Changqing again, sending Gu Changqing flying into the wall. Gu Changqing stayed on the wall for three seconds before falling down!

 Gu Changqing... To be precise, it was Gu Chengfeng who covered his chest and complained crazily in his heart.

 No way, you stinky girl, it's just a play, do you want it to be so realistic?

 Gu Jiao: Humph, I am very dedicated!

Today I updated 10,000 words, and my claws are almost useless. I need a ticket to continue coding~
