Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 245 Another Kind of Bath
"Someone is here. The First Prince hasn't bathed for several days. Give him a bath."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several guards came with some salt water in their hands, facing the wound on the eldest prince's body.

"I didn't expect that the prince still has this kind of interest. This time, I have gained some knowledge."

Hearing what the First Prince said, His Highness the Crown Prince ignored him, and the only thing he showed was a smile on the corner of his mouth.When the prison head opened the cell door, the guards carried the water in, and poured buckets of water on the First Prince's body.

His Highness the First Prince tightly clasped the wooden board under his body with some weeds, and bit his mouth tightly with his lips, almost bleeding, but he didn't say a word.

A steady stream of salt water was sprinkled on the First Prince's body, causing unbearable pain, but the First Prince didn't cry out, and was still enduring it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no expression at all, and looking at the silent First Prince, he also had no expression at all.After the salt water was finished, only the eldest prince was panting heavily.

"It will be like this from now on. In the morning, you will be rewarded with a whip, in the afternoon, you will be rewarded with twenty barrels of salt water, and in the evening, you will be rewarded with a little ointment, remember?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to the guards behind, the few people behind nodded mercilessly, all of them were expressionless, only the Eldest Prince showed hatred on his face.

"I didn't expect my second brother to have such hatred for me. I thought you would kill me with a knife, but I didn't expect that you didn't do it, but tortured me in this way."

When His Royal Highness heard it, his face was about to turn into ice, and he walked over and grabbed the eldest prince's neck, and the eldest prince was already out of breath, if not for the reminder from the guard next to him, he would probably be dead.

"You think your fate is great, don't you? Ben Gong tells you that the matter this time is not over. In the next few years, you can bear it slowly!"

After His Highness the Crown Prince finished his speech through gritted teeth, he picked up the smelly First Prince and threw it against the wall like throwing a rag.

With a bang, the First Prince fell to the ground, coughing continuously, the Prince's Palace walked up to the First Prince step by step, picked him up again, and looked at the First Prince with bloodshot eyes.

"Damn you, but I won't let you die easily, you can atone slowly!"

"Are you sure it's you who won't let me die? According to my guess, you want to kill me right away, but, father won't let you kill me, right, haha...hahahaha... cough cough."

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's face suddenly turned ugly, the First Prince knew that he had guessed right, and was punched by the Crown Prince's fist and thrown to the ground again.

"Cough cough cough...hahahaha, you just hate me! But you can't kill me...the emperor won't agree...hahaha."

"I won't kill you, but I can imprison you. Even your women will probably find another lover because of you. At that time, who will be more miserable."

After His Royal Highness finished speaking, he saw that the eldest prince's face was ugly, but he didn't feel any pleasure in his heart. Without that woman, there was no need for him to do anything.

"Let me watch him carefully. If there is any accident, you all come to see him." His Royal Highness finished speaking, turned around and left.

When he came to the inner courtyard of the East Palace, he saw Hongchan and Cuizhu doing embroidery. The prince approached without saying a word, wanting to hear what the two of them would say.

While embroidering, Hongchan said: "For some reason, I always have the feeling that that person will not die, she is still alive."

Hearing Hongchan's life words, Cuizhu's eyes turned red, she put down the embroidery in her hand, and wept.

"I don't know if she will be alive, but I will always have her in my heart. If it wasn't for her, the two of us would probably still be in limbo."

"..."

Cui Zhu chattered softly, while Hong Chan and His Highness the Crown Prince listened, and occasionally, Hong Chan would also talk together, and His Highness the Crown Prince stood where he was, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.

After that, he went back. His Royal Highness thought that no one would know that he came here, but Hong Chan still found out.After Hongchan saw the prince leaving, she put down the embroidery in her hand and went to her and Cuizhu's room.

"Your Highness, are you having dinner now?" Xiao Dezi said while looking at the tired-looking His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Use it! It's too late."

Afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat alone in the seat, and he didn't know how to eat. When they were with that person before, they sat at the same table together, and then they picked her favorite dishes for her. Every time they saw how happy she was eating, He felt very happy.

But now, looking at the pile of dishes on the empty table, and which familiar location, His Royal Highness's eyes were red, and so was Xiao Dezi, his eyes were all red.

"Xiao Dezi, take it! I don't want to eat it."

After hearing this, Xiao Dezi originally wanted to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince, but seeing the appearance of the Crown Prince, he still didn't say anything in the end.Order someone to push all the food down.

"Your Highness, Miss Hongchan is here and she has something to say." Xiao Dezi said as he looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with his head propped on one hand and the memorial in the other.

"Let her in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Hongchan came in, holding a box in her hand, when she looked at the prince, she only found that the prince had lost a lot of weight after being very close.

"Your Highness, this is something left by the girl. This servant thinks that His Highness may need it." Before Hongchan could finish her sentence, the things in her hand were taken away.

Looking at the anxious His Royal Highness, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She originally wanted to keep this thing for herself, but after thinking about it, she realized that His Royal Highness needed it more than she did, so she took it.

Opening the box, most of the items inside were given to this woman by him, but His Royal Highness felt a little puzzled, so he dumped all the items on the table next to him, checked each item, and finally found that it was missing A thing.

That thing was the mahogany hairpin he gave her. No one knew about it except the two of them. It was the last time he asked her to leave the palace and he bought it for her.

Thinking of this, His Highness the Crown Prince's lifeless heart finally regained some vitality.

His Majesty the Emperor, Eunuch Gao, and Xiao Dezi have already told him all the things that happened before. Although it was very painful and he did not see the woman's body, at the same time there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

It's just a few days later, the hope in his heart is getting less and less, and he is almost occupied by despair. If it wasn't for the responsibility of the court to stop him, he might really abandon everything and leave with that woman .

But now when I see all the things in this box, except for the mahogany hairpin, what is there in my heart that I don't understand?The woman might have left temporarily to protect him.

Thinking of this, he felt a sweetness in his heart. This way, he felt a lot better, at least not so sad, and he knew that this woman was still alive.

Hongchan didn't understand at all why His Highness the Crown Prince was smiling and sad at other times, but at least His Highness had already shown some expressions, so she also breathed a sigh of relief. When she finally left, she got a whole bag of gold. peanut.

These were all given to her by His Royal Highness, saying that they were to make up for the things in the box she had lost. Although she didn't want them, she still didn't refuse when she saw the happy His Royal Highness.

After His Royal Highness knew that the woman was not dead, he secretly sent people to look for her. As long as the woman was not dead, he would definitely find her.

The next day, he went to the morning court, but as soon as he reached the court hall, he heard Eunuch Gao come over and announce that there was something wrong with the emperor's health.

Although the courtiers had many questions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was now the legitimate heir to the throne in the palace, so those ministers did not dare to say anything.

It's just that I am more worried about the situation of His Majesty the Emperor, so every day there are one or two ministers waiting outside the palace, asking those imperial doctors who have been rectifying the Emperor, about the situation of His Majesty the Emperor.

However, the final result was that the imperial doctor shook his head, and the ministers sighed every day. If it weren't for the high ability of the crown prince, everyone in the court would have sighed and sighed.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took charge of the government, he sent a large number of people to search for the Queen's affairs, as well as all the secret deployments of the First Prince.

It took more than ten days to clean up before it was considered complete, and some even retreated earlier, and the buildings were already empty.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't mind at all, after all, he was the one who won in the end, so he didn't need to care at all.

It's just that he has lost a lot of weight because he has been busy every day for the past few days, and his usual clothes are a bit empty now.

On this day, His Highness the Crown Prince had just left the morning court, so Eunuch Gao waited anxiously outside the hall, and when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince, he immediately dragged him to the emperor's bedroom.

Seeing Eunuch Gao's anxious expression, His Highness the Crown Prince did not ask any further questions. After arriving at the bedroom, he summoned many guards to guard outside the bedroom.

In the past few days, concubines who fell out of favor came to visit every day. His Royal Highness, in order to be on guard, there are guards outside the palace.

"Father, what's the matter?"

As soon as the prince entered, he saw His Majesty the Emperor leaning on the pillow with a pale face, obviously leaning on three or four pillows, but his body seemed to be weak and about to fall on the bed.

"Prince, you are here. Father knows that you have performed well in the past half month, so he rest assured that this court will be handed over to you."

"Father feels in poor health recently, and also feels that his time is approaching, and it may only be a few months."

Hearing what the father said, the prince felt a pain in his heart. He just lost that woman. Is he going to lose his father again so soon?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.
