The prince is more stable

Chapter 314 Chess Piece Murder

The one who understands women best is always a woman.

When a man is fascinated by all kinds of green tea and dead clips, a woman can tell her hidden attributes with just one glance.

This is a very magical skill, belonging to metaphysics.

If men cannot understand this magical skill between women, they might as well change their perspective.

When a man pretends to casually show off his muscles and financial resources in front of a woman, do you think he is doing it purely to show off, or does he want to gain priority in mating with the woman?
You see, the one who understands men best is always a man.

Especially Jiang Miaoxian, she saw through Niao Niao almost at a glance.

After all, she and Niao Niao had the same previous profession. Strictly speaking, after Jiang Miaoxian was redeemed, the position of the top courtesan was vacated and was filled by Niao Niao. She and Niao Niao were in a relationship of senior and junior.

No one understands what a prostitute should look like better than Jiang Miaoxian.

At least not the way Niao Niao looks now.

Although Di Ying is Zhao Xiaoqian's first wife, she is much less sophisticated than Jiang Miaoxian. Her observation of Niao Niao is limited to her superficial appearance, figure and clothing, and she doesn't think too much about it. It doesn't matter to her whether Niao Niao has a worldly air or not.

The important thing is that she was very unhappy when she saw this vixen. She disliked her in every way and wanted to order this vixen to be thrown into a pig cage on the spot, and to put the bastard in the house in as well.

After Niao Niao finished her song, she received a round of applause. Zhao Hao's concubines all praised her heavenly voice and beautiful lyrics.

At this time, Di Ying snorted coldly, which was heard by the concubines. The women looked at each other and dared not say a word.

In theory, Zhao Hao's concubines were Di Ying's elders, but their status could not be compared with Di Ying at all.

A concubine is only slightly higher than a maid, and men can buy and sell them at will. Su Shi did this.

Di Ying was Zhao Xiaoqian's first wife, who was married in a formal ceremony. She was granted an imperial title by the court and even received a monthly salary. As long as Di Ying was alive, it would be extremely difficult for Zhao Xiaoqian to divorce her. This was the status of the first wife in ancient times.

So when Di Ying snorted coldly, Zhao Hao's concubines suddenly fell silent. It had nothing to do with seniority, it was purely a crushing of status.

So after Niao Niao finished singing, the scene fell into an awkward silence.

Niao Niao naturally also heard Di Ying's cold snort. Her beautiful eyes glanced over quietly and stopped on Di Ying's stunningly beautiful face.

The two women's eyes collided instantly, silently but intensely.

After a long time, Niao Niao curled up the corners of her lips and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Is this his wife?

It is said that she comes from a military family, and her stunning appearance does indeed have a bit of heroic spirit, which is worthy of him.

Zhao Xiaoqian's face suddenly flashed through her mind. Her eyes dimmed and she sighed softly. She stood up, bowed to the women, excused herself for the inconvenience, and turned to change her clothes.

After watching Niao Niao leave, Di Ying's sharp gaze finally subsided. She raised her little face and snorted proudly.

"I won!" Di Ying announced solemnly.

Jiang Miaoxian and Yuan'er were stunned.

What did you compete in? How did you win?
"You don't understand. Just now we were competing silently with our eyes. Whoever avoided me first lost. So, I won!" Di Ying smiled proudly: "As expected of me."

…………

The backyard of the palace is very large, with many separate courtyards of different sizes.

Turning around the east wing of the backyard, Niao Niao came to a quiet bamboo forest.

A ghostly figure flashed by the bamboo forest, and a man in black appeared in front of Niao Niao.

There is a banquet at the palace tonight, and there are many guests. People are coming and going, and it is not difficult for a stranger to sneak in.

Niao Niao's body trembled. Every time she saw him, she would feel a fear from the depths of her soul, especially when she saw his sinister eyes like a poisonous snake, which made her tremble involuntarily.

The man said without further ado, "The King of Chu is having his birthday banquet today, and Han Song, the Chief of Firearms, is also here." "You've gained nothing from Zhao Xiaoqian. Tonight is your only chance. Find a way to get close to Han Song and lure him out of the palace after the banquet. I've arranged for someone in the Imperial Street to capture him tonight."

"The secret of firearms is known to only two or three people in the world, and the Firearms Supervisor must know it. Since we can't find a way to break into Zhao Xiaoqian, we can only change our target. After capturing Han Song, torture him severely and ask him to find out the secret of firearms as soon as possible."

Niao Niao lowered her eyebrows, and a sarcastic smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That Director of the Firearms Bureau, Han Song, is a eunuch. Don't you know? How to approach a eunuch? I really haven't learned..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud slap on her cheek.

Niao Niao covered half of her face, lowered her head and said nothing, but a strong hatred flashed in her eyes imperceptibly.

The man didn't notice her gaze, but stared at her face sinisterly and said, "I really don't like the tone of your voice."

"Don't you have any self-awareness of who you are?"

"I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. After the birthday banquet tonight, I want to see Han Song's carriage passing through the Imperial Street. How to make him pass through the Imperial Street is your business. If you fail, you know the consequences."

The man swept his cold eyes over Niao Niao, said no more, and disappeared into the bamboo forest in a flash.

Niao Niao was still standing there, and the deep hatred in her beautiful eyes had gradually changed into a cold murderous intent.

She knew that she was just a chess piece, always in the hands of the chess player, and she could only land wherever the game required her to.

She cannot have her own thoughts or ideas. Even if the chess player feels that he should give up on her, she can only accept the fate of becoming an abandoned piece and disappear silently on the chessboard.

After living this life, it seemed like she had lived it in vain, even worse than a dog.

Why can't we live for ourselves once?
She hated this cruel and cold-blooded world. If she had to live like this for the rest of her life, death would be a relief.

She took a deep breath and turned around, revealing that pretty face with a charming smile, her eyes moving and full of emotion, making countless men willing to die drunk in her eyes.

In the Chu Palace, guests were still coming and going, and it was as lively as a bustling market that never sleeps all night.

Niao Niao walked through the crowd and came to the front hall alone. She swept her eyes around and quickly locked onto Han Song, the Director of the Firearms Supervisor, who was sitting high in the Yin'an Hall.

Niao Niao stared at Han Song in Yin'an Palace and smiled sweetly.

…………

In the palace crowded with guests, no one noticed that the King of Chu's only son, Zhao Xiaoqian, had disappeared at some point.

Just as Zhao Hao was inviting guests to gather together and toast each other, Zhao Xiaoqian appeared in a shop next to the Imperial Street.

At this moment, not only him, but also Wei Jie, Zhao Xin and other people from the Imperial City Bureau were in the shop.

Zhao Xiaoqian's face was flushed. He had just drunk a lot of wine at a social gathering in the palace.

Wei Jie handed him some tea to sober him up and reported to him in a low voice.

"According to your instructions, Lord, we have ambushed troops at every street and gate in Bianjing, including the Imperial Street, East-West Street, Daxiangguo Temple, Lijing Gate, Wangchun Gate, and other streets. No matter which way they go, we will not miss them. I will make sure they can't escape."

Zhao Xiaoqian hummed, then suddenly asked, "What if they really flew away from the sky?"

Wei Jie paused, his eyes speechless.

"It's hard to escape even with wings" is just a metaphor. You are just arguing. If they really have this ability, it would be the Imperial City Division that should escape.

Seeing that Wei Jie was speechless, Zhao Xiaoqian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll just have some daily banter. I feel uncomfortable if I don't. Just think of me as a bad mouth."

Wei Jie's cheek twitched slightly. What do you mean by "just consider it"? You are just a mean person.

"My Lord, the spies in the palace reported that Niao Niao saw a man in black in the bamboo forest in the palace's backyard. He left the bamboo forest an incense stick of time later and began to approach Han Song..."

Zhao Xiaoqian's eyes darkened, and he sighed, "She... really isn't surprising at all."

"Send someone to tell Han Song to use his trick against us and see how many big fish we can lure out tonight."
