Dressed as a noble girl, she wanted to lie flat

Chapter 277 277. Another assassination?
"Then...we give this witness to your father and let him deal with it." Wu Zhaoyi said anxiously again.

"Leave it to my father? Just based on the words of one of my staff? Do you think my father will think that I want to frame the prince?"

The fifth prince saw that his mother-in-law was really flustered, and she actually said such unreliable words.

Wu Zhaoyi also smiled bitterly.

Yes, Xiao Wu had participated in the assassination of the prince before.

Although there is no clear evidence of that.However, Emperor Qingping was also suspicious, right?
Otherwise, why are you reprimanding Xiaowu and the Xiaowuyi faction?Even suppressed it.

"Then, what do you want to do?"

"How to do it? Of course, it's a trick. Since I have no hope of the throne, I can just keep my life. As long as he doesn't ascend to the throne, the person who ascends to the throne in the future will have to let me do it for the sake of reputation and filial piety. Live. Haha, why is living not living?"

The fifth prince made up his mind to abandon the situation.

Anyway, sooner or later, you will fail, so just try your best.

The winter solstice of Qingping 21 is November [-]th.

The emperor needed to worship heaven on the winter solstice.

In previous years, Emperor Qingping would go out of the city to worship at Taiping Mountain, a hundred miles away on the outskirts of Beijing.

But in early November this year, Emperor Qingping fell ill in bed because of a cold.

Sacrifice to heaven is a big deal.

However, even if Emperor Qingping's wind and cold were cured, he still couldn't be tired from traveling hundreds of miles.

Since Emperor Qingping couldn't go, the crown prince had to go and offer sacrifices to heaven on his father's behalf.

The prince had vaguely guessed this outcome since he saw Emperor Qingping being ill.

Therefore, when Emperor Qingping told him about it in mid-November, he readily accepted it.

On November [-], the prince went to live in the national temple "Xiangguo Temple" at the foot of Taiping Mountain.

Wait until early the next morning, and complete the process of offering sacrifices to heaven according to the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

After offering sacrifices to the sky, everyone arranged for the servants to pack their bags in Xiangguo Temple and prepare to return to the capital the next day.

As a result, he got a message from the prince.

In order to show his filial piety, the prince had to bathe and fast in Xiangguo Temple for three days, chant sutras and pray for Emperor Qingping.

After hearing this, everyone praised the prince's benevolence and filial piety.

Xiao Muze and Xiao Qiyu, who were sitting at the bottom, had surprise in their eyes and couldn't help but look at each other.

Everyone in the hall was still praising the prince, and many even expressed their willingness to stay with the prince.

As a result, they were all declined by the prince.

Xiao Qiyu followed the crowd and said a few words that he was willing to accompany him.As a result, not surprisingly, he was rejected by the prince.

After Xiao Qiyu was rejected, he no longer persisted.

When all the ministers saw that the prince's biological brother was rejected, they naturally learned enough not to say that they wanted to accompany him.

Finally, the prince spoke and asked everyone to go back and continue packing their bags.

Xiao Qiyu left expressionlessly.Xiao Muze saw this and followed closely behind.

And just when the prince finished fasting and was on his way back to Beijing, he was assassinated again!

This time the prince was assassinated, it was different from the last time.

The prince was just frightened because of Ling Yi's sword attack last time.This time, the prince was seriously injured and his life was in danger.

When the news spread to various mansions in the capital, everyone was in an uproar with mixed reactions.

"Why was the prince assassinated again? Was it the fifth prince who did it?"

In Prince Zhan's Mansion, Liu Xinning was checking the gift list with Chun Nuan.

As a result, Xiao Muze walked in.

After he waved everyone away and asked Chun Nuan to guard the door, he mentioned the matter to Liu Xinning.

"Yes and no." Xiao Muze looked calm.However, Liu Xinning felt the complexity in his heart.

"Okay. Why do you have anything to do with me?" Liu Xinning asked anxiously.

The prince was seriously injured this time?Is this assassin more powerful than the last assassin?

"This assassination incident was planned by the prince himself. The purpose was to completely eradicate the fifth prince. However, he took it for granted and was actually assassinated by the fifth prince."

"..." Liu Xinning was speechless.

"The prince is in a good situation now, why should he bother?"

"Of course Madam is treating others with her own way. I heard that the fifth prince found a lot of chess pieces. Some of them were placed by other princes before. However, the fifth prince put them all in a safe place. The prince. Therefore, the fifth prince thinks that the prince has given him no way to survive, so he might as well kill him instead."

Xiao Muche explained in detail.

Liu Xinning listened to Xiao Muze's advice and did not dare to do anything.

After all, the prince is still the crown prince.If she's not careful, it's not just Liu Xinning herself who will be affected.

Therefore, she mainly spreads the news to the outside world.

As a result, the fifth prince believed it and went to investigate, thinking that the prince would not give him a way to survive.

And what about the prince?

He is now acting a bit extreme and cruel.I even feel that only when my opponent is completely trampled on his feet can I feel relieved.

Therefore, after the prince learned that he wanted to sacrifice his father to heaven, he arranged the long-planned assassination plan during this time period.

The fifth prince took advantage of the chaos and added his own men to kill the prince with all his strength.

Now, the fifth prince succeeded.

"You came back early, and you didn't go with the prince... Did you already know that something was fishy?"

When Liu Xinning heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes." Xiao Muze said in a deep voice.

He didn't continue, but Liu Xinning understood what he meant.

The way the prince treated her and Xiao Qiyu must have chilled their hearts, right?

"We all have some guesses. However, we are just watching from the sidelines this time." Xiao Muze's voice was cold.

That day, when they heard that the prince wanted to stay and pray, they felt something was wrong.

Because even Xiao Qiyu didn't know that the prince wanted to pray.Praying for blessings is a good thing, but is it kept secret like this?

Well, just pray for blessings.

However, even if the prince prays for blessings, it is normal for officials to accompany him.

As a result, the prince drove everyone away, leaving only those from the East Palace?

That shows that there is really a problem.

However, Xiao Qiyu left first indifferently, and he followed suit.

Later, the prince was assassinated and his life was in danger.

Some of the aides around the prince probably knew that the prince's life was hopeless.

Therefore, they secretly came to surrender to Xiao Qiyu and told the inside story.

Look, this is how people in the world seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

That's why the prince is so guarded against Xiao Qiyu, right?
However, it is not Xiao Qiyu's fault that people in the world seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Taking the lead in harming loved ones for unknown possibilities.

In the position of the prince, one cannot say that he did something wrong.However, in the end, he is also ruthless in nature.

Now, I just hope that Xiao Qiyu will never forget his original intention and not become ruthless.
