: Falling into a trap

Is the second prince the most likely to ascend the throne among the many princes?

Although Prince Diandong has been with the emperor for the longest time and is the emperor's first son, Prince Diandong was not born by the current queen, so the title of the prince is weaker.

Once the former queen died, there was no support for her. Except for some old Confucian scholars who knew how to study but still insisted on standing up, the court did not have much support.

The second prince is different.

As the first son born to the current queen, he had been praised by the emperor many times during his youth. Although he did not have the title of prince, he had an independent fiefdom and was even known as being quite intelligent.

The emperor once sent the second prince to do several things, and he did them very well. Even the veterans who were present at the court said that the second prince behaved in a sophisticated manner and had the style of the emperor back then.

That compliment was not said casually.

Whether he can be of this type has always been the key to the emperor's choice of successor.

If the emperor feels that the second prince has the same demeanor as he did back then, he might find a time to give the crown prince's position to the second prince.

Because of this, several other princes regarded the second prince as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

Unless the second prince falls, no other prince will have a chance.

The butler who was holding an umbrella heard the sixth prince's first question about the second prince. He glanced around consciously, and then whispered beside the sixth prince:

"The spy said that it was not the blind man that the second prince hired at the beginning, but that the blind man spread the words to the second prince's ears through some legs, and then the second prince went out to greet him in person."

"After welcoming the blind man outside the palace, the second prince immediately kicked out all the servants and chatted with the blind man alone for a long time."

"Their spies didn't dare to get too close, but they could barely hear that there seemed to be a discussion in the room about Shopkeeper Li, the richest man in the capital."

"When the treatment started, the two of them shut up so quietly that they couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. Later, I heard the blind man say, "I beg you, do you dare to kill him?" His junior brother will immediately tell Tiandong the news."

"The voice he shouted was quite loud. Many guards outside the door heard it."

"After the second prince went out, their people found a way to get close to the blind man and learned the news from him using a bit of his calf."

"The blind man said that Shopkeeper Li has the destiny of a luan bird. If anyone asks for Shopkeeper Li's sincerity, the luan bird will turn into a phoenix."

The butler's voice became lower and lower as he shut up, carefully avoiding the gaze of everyone around him.

"In other words, whoever Shopkeeper Li is willing to marry will become the emperor!"

After saying that, there was a thunder in the sky.

That thunder seemed to have struck directly on the top of the imperial city, and the rumbling echo made everyone feel a little panicked.

After the sound of thunder, the housekeeper could clearly feel that the Sixth Prince used 100% of his strength to hold down his arms and legs.

"Other than the second prince, very few people know about that matter."

The sixth prince's words were neither sad nor happy, as if he was not shocked at all.

The butler continued to lower his head and said:

"have no idea……"

"After hearing the news, the spies immediately thought of killing someone to silence him, but the blind man seemed to have some real abilities."

"The spies saw blood when they directly applied the knife to his throat. The blind man could still fly out from the circle surrounded by two or three people!"

"There was nothing left on the ground except a scarecrow with its throat cut."

"Their man wanted to go after him, but I don't know if there were other forces involved, but he couldn't be found at all!"

When he said that, the housekeeper had already entered the same room with the sixth prince.

In the room, some maids had prepared clothes and were waiting to bathe and change the clothes of the sixth prince.

"Check again."

The Sixth Prince whispered three words, and the housekeeper immediately bowed his head, turned around and exited the room.

Close the door.

The housekeeper raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already dark clouds covering the sky. Although it was in the evening in terms of time, it was already so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

The blind man seems to have some magical powers in his legs. If Mingren has been lost, it is easier said than done to check again.

The housekeeper sighed.

Forget it, since I have decided to follow the Sixth Prince, I can do my best no matter how troublesome it is.

In the palace.

There were only two or three candles lit in a remote room. The wind blowing in from the crack in the door kept swaying the small candles. As the candles swayed, several figures outside the room also changed, making

There was an inexplicable sense of terror in the whole room.

Fang was walking on the chair and felt a little toothache.

He raised his head and glanced at the old housekeeper standing next to him.

The old housekeeper spread his legs and made a helpless expression.

Both of them took a wrong look, and then looked at the other blind man lying on the ground.

Fang Xing sighed:

"Didn't I just bury one?"

"I told him, did that blind man pop out from somewhere?"

The old housekeeper felt that he also had a toothache.

While it was raining in the east and the sky was dark, I just asked the two more loyal Dong people in Zai to bury the blind man in Wu.

Even the holes have been dug.

Suddenly a person flew out from outside the wall!

He was dressed like the blind man who was about to be buried!

This situation shocked the old housekeeper, and he thought that the dead blind man was swimming in Anhui!

The blind man who flew in from outside the courtyard wall, for some unknown reason, made a fool of himself after entering.

But there is nothing we can do now, just dig a hole big enough to bury one person. Besides, if I am an accomplice with Zai Wu, I have to leave it to the prince to decide how to deal with it.

So the old housekeeper decided to bury what should be buried first, and then took the half-dead one to the prince to see what should be done.

After hearing the prince's question, the housekeeper hesitated for a while before speaking:

"He really doesn't know how he got here. Please take advantage of Dongyu to bury that one too?"

"Anyway, you can bury one, you can bury two. If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry. If you have too many lice, you don't need to itch..."

Fang Xing raised his leg to interrupt the housekeeper's speech, and directly looked at the blind man who had been tied up like a rice dumpling and said:

"Let's wake him up first."

"He begged the blind man's senior brother before, and he happened to have something to ask him."

The old housekeeper nodded, picked up the bucket placed at the door, and poured the entire bucket of cold water on the motionless blind man.

Then the blind man seemed to be dead and motionless.

Seeing that scene, Fang Xing couldn't help but laugh.

"Then he is already dead?"

"Find a few people to cut the blind man into pieces and bury them separately!"

As soon as I heard that.

The blind man who had been motionless suddenly started walking!

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

I'm so sleepy that I want to die. Let me post a chapter to prove that I'm alive. The rest will be here soon.
Chapter completed!
