Chapter 519 Only the dead can keep secrets
Seeing Aunt Hua so excited, the Third Prince couldn't help but feel confused.
According to palace rules, princes and princesses would be handed over to wet nurses as soon as they were born, and the third prince was no exception.
Since he was a child, he has been particularly close to Aunt Hua.
His feelings for her were even better than his feelings for his biological mother, Concubine Yu.
Aunt Hua was extremely worried about the third prince's marriage.
Ever since she reached marriageable age, she has frequently been in and out of the socialite circles of the capital, wishing she could check every ancestry of those rich ladies.
After careful consideration, she chose Shen Yan, who had just been engaged to Xie Mubai.
Shen Yan is beautiful and comes from a noble family.
If he could marry her as his concubine, the Marquis of Xiangyang would definitely do his utmost when the Third Prince competes for the position of Crown Prince.
So Aunt Hua used a little trick and successfully fooled Aruo.
Between Xie Mubai and the Third Prince, Aruo chose the latter for her daughter without even thinking about it.
That Xie Mubai seems to be a good person, but how can a mere prince be compared with a dignified prince?
If she married Xie Mubai, at best she could become the wife of a duke.
But marrying the third prince is different, because there is a possibility of becoming the queen!
So Aruo didn't even think twice and immediately agreed to the marriage on behalf of Chen Yan.
Originally, she thought everything was going very smoothly, but Aunt Hua never dreamed that Chen Yan had gone crazy!
What is even more unacceptable is that she was once abused by a group of beggars!
How could such a withered and decrepit woman be worthy of the high and mighty prince of his family?
After learning about this, Aunt Hua directly deleted Chen Yan's name from the list of candidates for the princess.
But what shocked her was that the Third Prince, who had always disliked Chen Yan, was thinking of discussing marriage again, and even had his eyes on Ling Xiaoxiao!
For this, she almost wore out her lips.
"What happened to Ling Xiaoxiao?" The Third Prince stared into her eyes and asked calmly, "Ling Xiaoxiao is beautiful, and she has the Miao people as her backing."
"Auntie Hua, I really need Miaojiang's support!"
How important is Miaojiang? How could Aunt Hua not think of this?
"No, she absolutely cannot!" Aunt Hua refused without even thinking about it, "Your Highness, I'm doing this for your own good."
The Third Prince smiled coldly, his eyes fixed on the cup of amber tea in his hand. "If you can't give me a reason, I will never listen to you."
reason?
Aunt Hua opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You can go down." Seeing that she didn't say anything, the third prince didn't ask any further questions.
After hearing this, Aunt Hua had no choice but to retreat.
After she left, the Third Prince's gaze tightened, and a sinister light flashed across his dark eyes: "Someone come!"
Before he could finish his words, a man in black appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"I want to know the answer!" The third prince said sinisterly without even looking at him.
The lone wolf died and the scorpion "disappeared".
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though he has fallen to such a state today, he still has a few people under his control.
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately bowed and retreated.
After returning to the room, Aunt Hua was nervous and fidgety.
No, no, she absolutely cannot let this marriage happen!
If that happens, wouldn't that be incest!
Thinking of this, Aunt Hua became more and more irritated.
what to do?
Ask the old Miao King for help?
Out of a sense of indebtedness, the old Miao King had treated her well over the years and given her many good things.
But if he faces the Third Prince's army of tens of thousands, will he still have the courage to refuse the marriage?
While I was daydreaming, I suddenly felt a faint fragrance in the slightly cold air.
Oh no, someone poisoned us!
Aunt Hua was shocked.
Just as she was about to hold her breath, she felt her body go limp and her plump body fell heavily to the ground.
Then, a pair of big feet appeared in front of her.
The man didn't say anything, but just stretched out a big, skinny hand and stuffed a worm into her mouth.
"It's you?" Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, Aunt Hua knew exactly who he was. "Weren't you captured by the Miao King? How did you suddenly appear here?"
That man was none other than Ling Xiaoxiao's evil uncle!
Upon hearing this, the uncle sneered strangely and said, "Xiao Hua'er, so you still remember me."
"Since you remember, you should also know my methods, right?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua's expression suddenly changed.
In Miaojiang, everyone knows how vicious Master Uncle Ling Xiaoxiao is!
If he hadn't committed so many evil things, why would the old Miao King, who never liked to cause trouble, have sent people to capture him?
"What do you want to do?" Aunt Hua took a deep breath and asked calmly.
The uncle didn't want to hide it and said truthfully: "The prince wants to know why you don't agree with him marrying Ling Xiaoxiao."
"Of course, I don't approve of this marriage either."
It would be strange if he agreed.
Because of the incident of catching the girl refining the cauldron, he and Ling Xiaoxiao had already had a grudge.
If that girl really becomes the Third Prince's woman, will he still have a good life in the future?
When Aunt Hua heard that it was the Third Prince who sent him to ask, her expression suddenly changed.
It’s him, it’s actually him!
For more than twenty years, she gave him all her love.
She could be said to have been worried to death for him.
As long as he was safe, it didn't matter even if she died immediately.
She never imagined that in order to learn the secret, the son she had raised would actually send someone to attack her!
"If the Third Prince really wants to know, why doesn't he come and ask himself?" Aunt Hua asked with a pale face and gritted teeth.
The uncle raised his eyebrows and sneered with contempt: "Who can guarantee that what you say is true?"
"Of course, I promise!"
Before he finished speaking, he took out a drum from his waist and hit it hard.
When Aunt Hua heard the sound, she felt as if there were tens of millions of poisonous snakes in her stomach, gnawing at her internal organs madly!
She curled up in pain, and her smooth forehead was immediately covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.
A gust of north wind blew by.
Through the door curtain blown by the wind, she could clearly see a pair of big feet wearing koi-patterned boots.
She made those boots by herself after staying up all night for several days.
The weather was cold, and she was afraid that he would get cold if he went out.
She didn't know how many times her ten fingers had been pricked in order to sew these boots.
"Is he sure he wants to know?" Aunt Hua smiled evilly, with a strange cold light flashing in her eyes.
Since he can be ruthless, why should I be righteous!
I was able to lift him up to the sky like a phoenix, but now I can also drag him down to hell!
The uncle didn't answer, but just raised the broken drum in his hand again.
Aunt Hua looked at it and couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, if he's not afraid of incest, then go ahead and marry him!"
incest!
Upon hearing these two words, the color on the Third Prince's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What do you mean by that?" The uncle was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. "Is Concubine Yu having an affair with the old Miao King, or is the Miao King's wife and the Emperor having an affair?"
Either possibility sounds extremely absurd and ridiculous.
Aunt Hua smiled coldly.
She was about to speak when she heard a muffled sound in her ears.
Aunt Hua didn't even struggle before she died.
The uncle was stunned for a moment.
Looking down carefully, I found a shocking bloody hole on Aunt Hua's chest.
Looking at the clothes stained with blood, the uncle was so scared that every hair on his body stood up.
He was about to escape when he saw the black muzzle of a gun pointed at him.
"No, don't kill me!" The uncle's legs softened and he knelt on the ground in fear. "Your Highness, I swear to heaven, I will keep this matter to myself."
At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood the meaning of Aunt Hua's words.
No wonder I had a sense of déjà vu when I first saw the third prince. It turns out that he is the biological son of the old Miao King!
You know what, they do look a little bit alike.
"I only believe one thing." The Third Prince raised his gun, his eyes cold and terrifying. "In this world, only the dead can keep secrets!"
