"It's Prince Pei! Prince Pei was chasing a roe deer and accidentally killed Lord Xu!" someone shouted.
Song Yue smiled and had someone hand over some pills: "Don't worry, this isn't a deadly medicine. As long as you do as I say, I'll guarantee you won't die!"
The others were somewhat fearful and hesitant. They knew without even thinking that the pills were definitely not good; they were most likely poison.
Suddenly, the guard slapped one of them hard.
Before the man could react, blood streamed down his face, and he collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Song Yue sneered, "You don't know what's good for you!"
Without further hesitation, the men swallowed the remaining medicine in one gulp: "Your Majesty, we will be cautious and will never betray the Crown Princess."
Song Yue held the reins and smiled fearlessly: "I am not afraid of your nonsense. More than half of the military power in Northern Chu is in the hands of the Crown Prince. Since you insist on opposing the Crown Prince, I have no choice but to deal with a few disobedient ones."
That's incredibly arrogant.
It leaves no room for rebuttal.
The Crown Prince holds military power and can mobilize tens of thousands of troops both inside and outside the city at any time. No one in the capital can compare to him.
They're deliberately going against the Crown Prince; aren't they courting death?
Song Yue turned and left.
"ah!"
A scream pierced the sky from the depths of the woods.
"Your Highness, Lady Shangguan's horse accidentally stepped into a trap, and both she and the horse fell into the water, sustaining serious injuries," the guard reported.
Song Yue hesitated for a moment, then stroked her chin: "Bring Madam Yun here as well."
"yes."
Half an hour later
Hearing Madam Shangguan's cries for help, Madam Yun quickly dismounted, lay down by the trap, and shouted. Madam Shangguan responded.
"It's me, Shangguan Jing."
Madam Yun said anxiously, "How could you be so careless? I'll get you up right away."
No sooner had she finished speaking than she was suddenly kicked hard in the back, and Madam Yun was caught off guard and kicked down from a height.
He landed on the ground with a loud thud, unable to get up for a long time, cursing, "Who was it? Who ambushed me!"
Shangguan Jing looked up and saw the person who had just arrived. She was furious and said, "Your Highness, you are truly despicable. You scheme against people behind their backs. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Song Yue wasn't angry: "Bring it up!"
The guards brought in a large black cage. When the cloth was lifted, countless rats with long tails were exposed, squeaking incessantly.
The expressions of the two people below immediately changed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, let's talk this out calmly, don't act rashly," Madam Yun said nervously, swallowing hard.
Song Yue bent down and squatted down, and personally opened the cage in front of the two of them. With a splash, countless rats fell into the trap.
"Ah!" The two screamed in agony.
