The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 174: Death (1)
"Understood, Changhe asked you to protect me." Lan Jiu laughed in a good mood, squinting at Changlan, and said with great interest.

Chang Lan stopped talking, silence is golden.It's just that he didn't leave Lan Jiu's side, but stood next to her, as if he regarded himself as Lan Jiu's bodyguard, but now there are not many people outside the bedroom, so no one pays attention to Chang Lan.

"Where's my brother Lan Shi? Does he live in Wumuhou's mansion like Chang He?" Lan Jiu asked.

Changlan nodded coolly, without saying a word.

Lan Jiu was in a very good mood, so he didn't bother with him. Following the path where no one was around, Lan Jiu quietly returned to his residence in the palace.

Because Lan Jiu didn't live in the palace last night, there were not many guards here, so Lan Jiu easily passed these guards and came to the back garden, and then let the guards see him inadvertently. Own.

Let these guards see that they can wash away their suspicions in the garden, so that when everyone finds out that Emperor Wu has passed away, no one will doubt themselves.Because these guards can be used as evidence of their absence.

In fact, after the vengeance was avenged, there was no need for Lan Jiu to stay here.The reason why she stayed was just to confirm some things with the third prince, and more because she wanted to know whether the person who inherited the throne of Wu was the third prince.

In Lan Jiu's heart, she really hoped that the third prince could inherit the throne.

At present, the entire palace is surprisingly quiet, no noise can be heard anywhere, and the whole palace is filled with a sense of solemnity and turbulent crisis.

"The third prince has been imprisoned in his bedroom."

Seeing Lan Jiu leisurely walking in the garden, Chang Lan spoke again with a cold face.Changlan knew that Lan Jiu supported the third prince, but now that the third prince is imprisoned, shouldn't she do something instead of taking a leisurely walk here!
"If the second prince can imprison the third prince, then the second prince is indeed suitable to be the heir." Lan Jiu replied casually.

If the third prince can't handle even the second prince, then he is not worthy to be the heir.If you don't even have this ability, you don't want to fight for the throne, but Lan Jiu is considering whether to tell him the news of Wu Huang's death.

But soon Lan Jiu denied his idea, not to mention that no one in the palace had discovered the death of Emperor Wu, if he told the third prince now, wouldn't he be suspected by the third prince?It is still uncertain whether the third prince is Wu Huang's own son, and after so many years of nurturing, who knows what the third prince's attitude is towards Wu Huang!
Now, all I can do is wait quietly.

However, Lan Jiu did not have to wait too long.Because all the magic alarms in the palace sounded at the same time at this moment.The piercing long sound of the magic siren spread to every corner of the palace, and the sharp sound lingered over the palace for a long time.

This is the sound that will only sound after important things happen in the palace.There are also many kinds of magic alarm sounds, and the sound that is sounding now is the mourning sound that represents the death of the emperor.

"Miss Nine, it's not good! Emperor Wu has passed away."

At this time, Zhou Ning rushed in from the door in a hurry. As soon as he saw Lan Jiu in the garden, he rushed over and shouted.

This time, Zhou Ning did not come alone. Behind him were dozens of fully armed royal guards.

"Emperor Wu died? What's going on?" Lan Jiu asked anxiously after glancing at the guards behind Zhou Ning.

"It's the Marquis of Lanling! The Marquis of Lanling assassinated the Emperor Wu, but the Marquis of Lanling was not much better. He died with the Emperor Wu!" Zhou Ning looked at Lan Jiu with worried eyes after finishing speaking. , not for anything else, just because Lan Jiu is the granddaughter of the Marquis of Lanling, and assassinating Wu Huang is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Will this involve Lan Jiu?

"Is this matter confirmed? Who discovered it?" Lan Jiu pretended not to know, and continued to ask.

"It's confirmed, Zhou Dong discovered it. Now the second prince has rushed over with his guards. Miss Ninth, would you... go to have a look too?" Zhou Ning replied hesitantly.

"Where's the third prince? Has he gone?" Lan Jiu said while walking towards the door, looking very anxious.But she felt relieved, because Zhou Dong rang all the magic alarms at this time, which spread the news of Emperor Wu's death throughout the palace.

"The third prince is under house arrest in the palace and can't come out. The second prince seems to not want the third prince to know about Wu Huang's death!" Zhou Ning hurriedly followed Lan Jiu.

Now is the very moment, Zhou Ning understands that his future is in one fell swoop, if the third prince he fancy can win the throne in one fell swoop, then his future is boundless, but if the second prince preempts him, then his success will fall short.

"The third prince should know about Emperor Wu's death. Let's go and see Emperor Wu first." Lan Jiu pondered for a moment, and then made a decisive decision. The magic alarm in the palace rang for a long time, and there was absolutely no reason for the third prince not to know. .

It's just that whether the third prince can escape the surveillance of the second prince depends on him.It's useless for Lan Jiu to go, it's better to go to Emperor Wu's bedroom to see the situation first.

Zhou Ning quickly agreed, and only then did he see that there was a black-clothed guard beside Lan Jiu, and the guard was very young. More importantly, the relationship between this guard and Lan Jiu seemed not simple. It seemed that he should be Lan Jiu has been a guard for a long time.

Changlan noticed that Zhou Ning was staring at him with kind eyes, and he glanced at Zhou Ning impatiently, with warning and disgust in his eyes.Originally, Changlan was a little unhappy to be Lan Jiu's bodyguard, but now she is still hated by others, Changlan is not to mention depressed.

"Miss Nine, I have never seen this guard before. Could it be the guard you brought from outside?" Zhou Ning stared at Chang Lan seriously for a while, and finally realized that this guard was not a royal guard, so he asked road.

"Well, it's my entourage!" Lan Jiu agreed casually, seeing that it was Emperor Wu's bedroom in front of him, and at this time, the outside of the bedroom was already full of people, and all the ministers who had gone to Zhanghuatai gathered here After arriving here, the bedroom was completely surrounded, and a large number of royal guards rushed over to seal the entire bedroom.
