Chapter 126 Did I hear wrong?
Shen Liuzhen saw that this made sense, and immediately seemed to be enlightened. He straightened up and was full of rejection. He opened his eyes and said:

"Send me a letter from such a long distance, just to ridicule me?! Ah?!"

After he finished speaking, there was another flash of inspiration, and he remembered the content of the last letter he sent.

The meaning of his last letter was that he hoped that the two of them could get married, meet and be together as soon as possible. He missed her very much.

She came back to this - doesn't that mean that she can't shoot arrows well and can't even hit a rabbit, so she hates him and doesn't really want to see him?

After figuring this out, Shen Liuzhen immediately became wilted, and his heart was hurt...

He puffed out his cheeks and took a few deep breaths, feeling sad. After a while, he turned his head to look at Liu Qinbing and asked, "Brother Liu, I'm working hard on archery, is there still time?... as long as I can shoot rabbits."

Liu Qinbing weighed Shen Liuzhen's laziness... He had never been patient with martial arts training, and every time he thought about it, he squatted on horseback for two days and then gave up.

So Liu Qinbing shook his head honestly and said, "I don't think so..."

Shen Liuzhen lay down in disappointment, knocked his chin on the table, looked at the rabbit in the painting, and sighed.

He had just come out of the palace, it was already dark, people without privileges in the palace were not allowed to ride horses, he was tired enough walking out like this every day...

Suddenly, in the night outside, the bell rang loudly, ringing one after another, Shen Liuzhen was startled, listened with pricked ears, and counted the number of times the bell rang in his heart.Liu Qinbing is also like facing a big enemy.

Listening to Shen Liuzhen's complexion getting worse and worse, the bell finally died down.Shen Liuzhen's immature face was distorted by shock and grief, and said:
"Brother Liu, did I make a mistake in counting? Did the bell strike twelve times? The bell rings in the morning and the drum in the evening, and the bell rings at night. It's the death knell, not the time. Did I hear it wrong?"

Liu Qinbing was also shocked, but still said with certainty:
"It's twelve, you heard it right, it's the death knell... Does this mean... the crown prince is dead?"

Shen Liuzhen clenched his fists and asked through gritted teeth: "How could it be? How could it be such a coincidence that the letter from His Highness the Crown Prince was delivered today, and the Crown Prince died? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is so cruel that he can't tolerate the life of his son?" ?!"

As he was talking, he stood up abruptly and said, "No... I want to go into the palace, I want to see it with my own eyes, I don't believe the crown prince is just gone!"

Liu Qinbing hurriedly stopped him, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, wake up, it's getting dark, and the imperial city is under martial law! No one can enter!"

Shen Liuzhen looked at the vast night outside, and kept flashing through his mind every scene he had seen Shi Yu innocently, as if it happened yesterday.

He cried even harder, and kept saying: "Why... God is not fair... He is such a good person, why?"

At this moment in the East Palace, Wu Lei, who was sleeping, had already been awakened by the sound of the bell. He was stunned for a long time as if he lost his soul, before he lifted the quilt and ran out without his shoes on.

The door of the prince's bedroom was wide open, and the room was full of people, but he couldn't see it, but ran all the way to the edge of the bed, looked at the person lying flat on it, and suddenly stopped, not daring to Step forward.

The person on the bed was dressed in white, with well-combed hair, and a little maid was wiping his face with a handkerchief. When she saw Wu Lei rushing over, she quickly stepped aside and knelt down.

He lay there so quietly, so quietly as a dead man.Ulay couldn't help shivering, and called softly:
"Father?"

No one responded... The person who always smiled at him gently, and then turned to him with a little kindness and sadness, didn't move any more.

Ulay's tears fell down, and he rushed over, hugging his father's body and weeping bitterly:
"Father... wake up... wake up, don't leave me... Father!"

On his side, weeping sadly, Zong Ai, who had been standing aside with others, stepped forward and said in a shrill voice:

"Emperor's grandson, don't break your body from crying."

Hearing this, Wu Lei turned around at once, seeing Zong Ai's mind spinning non-stop, with sharp eyes, and questioned:

"My imperial grandfather is not here, why are you here?!"

The displeasure in Zong Ai's eyes flashed past, and then she said pitifully: "Oh...the emperor's grandson, our family must be here to deliver the decree to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"What decree! People are gone!!! Your majesty won't come to see his son?!!!" Ulei was so angry that he uttered such wild words that all the maids and eunuchs in the room couldn't help but look up. With a glance, he was terrified.

Zong Ai didn't respond, and rolled his eyes in disdain, and said with a cold snort:
"Your grandson, you have to be careful with what you say. Your majesty is your majesty after all. How can you arrange it at will. Our family came to deliver the decree when the prince was alive. Who knew that the decree was half-determined... and he died suddenly. .”

Wu Lei frowned, looked at Zong Ai's arrogant and disapproving face in disbelief, stood up from the bed, and asked:
"It's you?... You killed my father? Didn't you?!"

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness and Zong Ai are at odds...he said that again.Wu Lei became angry all of a sudden, and rushed forward to kill Zong Ai.

Zong Ai was so frightened that he ran away quickly, and shouted: "Hold him! Hold him! The emperor's grandson is so sad that he is going crazy, why don't you hurry up and hold him!"

Upon hearing this, the maids and eunuchs rushed up and grabbed Wu Lei.

The prince is dead, and the grandson of the emperor is the son of the prince. No matter what, he is not as powerful as Zong Ai, the eunuch who is now deeply trusted and favored by His Majesty.

So no matter whether it was the one in the uterus or the one brought by Zong Ai, they all ran over at once, knelt down beside Wu Lei, surrounded him, crying and persuading him, hugging his legs, holding hands... Everything is available.

Only the little maid who wiped the cheeks of His Royal Highness looked up at the scene, and immediately lowered her head, looking terrified, without moving.

Seeing that Wu Lei couldn't move anymore, Zong Ai stood up calmly and explained with a wry face:

"Emperor's grandson, if you give our family the courage, our family would not dare to murder the crown prince! When our family came to announce the decree, so many people watched! If you don't believe me, ask them, how could it be that our family killed His Highness the crown prince? !"

"Then why did my father leave like this suddenly?!" Ulay's voice resounded throughout the hall, his voice was broken and hoarse.

Immediately afterwards, Zong Ai said helplessly in his sharp eunuch voice:

"...Then how does our family know? While repeating His Majesty's oral instructions, His Highness the Crown Prince vomited blood all of a sudden, and lost his breath after fainting. You should ask the imperial physician about this!"
