Chapter 870 Something Happened to the Prince
The Fourth Master held the hand that was warming the wine and took her to sit down.
Thirteen said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother and I just briefly discussed the situation on the way. Yesterday, I carefully noticed the scent of that person. If I remember correctly, Master Guangci also has a similar scent. A while ago, we met Master Guangci in Khalkha, and he mentioned that he came from the Western Regions."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Jiu frowned deeply: "Sure enough, there is something wrong with this master, sir?"
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Don't worry. I have already sent people to keep an eye on him. His whereabouts are unusual this time, so he must have a backup plan. Let's not alert him for now."
"That's right. But Fourth Brother." Thirteen frowned slightly, "There's also some not-so-good news."
The Fourth Master and Wen Jiu subconsciously turned their heads to look over.
Thirteen frowned and said, "That mountain monster has appeared in the capital too!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them looked solemn.
Thirteen continued, "Yesterday, I was captured alive by those around me, and now I'm being held in your dungeon, Fourth Brother. This is why I haven't dared to leave here these past two days. I always feel like something big is about to happen."
"Isn't that mountain monster only found in the woods near my Khalkha? And it has been eliminated. How come it appeared in the capital as well? Could it be that there are also people from my Khalkha in the capital?" Zhan Dagumi's face did not look good either.
Thirteen heard this and shook his head: "No, I checked these two people, they are both born and raised in Kyoto. Moreover, they have been in the capital recently and have never left the city."
"How could this happen?" Prince Zhan Dagumi was surprised.
"Then there is only one possibility." Wen Jiu suddenly said with narrowed eyes.
Several people turned their eyes towards her.
Wen Jiu raised his thin lips and said, "That is to say, the person who created the mountain monster followed us back to Beijing."
After hearing this, Prince Zhan Dagumi nodded immediately: "Yes, it must be like this!"
After saying this, he realized that everyone around Zhou Shen was looking at him. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Besides Guangci, you're the only one who followed us back to Beijing, right?"
The Thirteenth Master glanced at him and said.
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhan Dagumi immediately jumped up and said, "Hey, stop accusing me! I'm with you guys every day! How could I have the chance? I'm a Crown Prince after all, why would I want to harm those common people?"
"That's hard to say!"
"Hey! Are you slandering me? Let's fight!"
"Alright, alright, he was just teasing you. How could he really doubt you? There's another person besides you." Wen Jiu said soothingly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He then pushed two cups of tea in front of them and said, "Guangci."
"Guangci." The Fourth Master also said these two words with her.
"This master has a very big plan. What exactly does he want to do?" Thirteen also frowned and said.
The Fourth Master subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table lightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly became stern.
"Quick, go to the palace and send a message to my second brother. Tell him to be careful these days. Be sure to be vigilant against those around him."
"yes."
"Fourth brother, are you worried that their target is second brother?" Thirteen instantly understood what the Fourth Master meant.
"I hope it's not too late." The Fourth Master said this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Buyu came into the room with a very unhappy look on his face: "Master! Something happened."
"What happened? Could it be something happening at Second Brother's house?" Thirteen asked anxiously.
"Thirteenth Master, your guess is correct. It's about the Yuqing Palace." Bu Yu said, "Master, urgent news just came from the palace. It says that the Crown Prince has severed his own arm and has been in a coma ever since."
"What did you say?" Thirteenth Master stood up in disbelief. "Who did you say cut off his own arm?"
Without saying a word, he continued, "Thirteenth Master, you heard correctly. Heavy snow had been falling in the northwest before, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to go to the Huguo Temple to pray on behalf of the Emperor. When he came back, he seemed fine, but early this morning, news arrived that His Royal Highness had broken an arm.
I asked the messenger who brought the message, and it seems that the prince was poisoned because of yesterday's prayer, and he cut off his arm to protect his reputation."
"Cut off one of your own arms..." The Fourth Master's expression was extremely ugly at this moment.
Thirteen's face was not looking good. "Fourth brother, we have fallen into a trap. These past two days, we have all focused our attention on your house, but we never thought that something bad had happened to Second Brother. Why did Second Brother cut off his arm? Does Second Brother know what he is doing?"
As Thirteen spoke, his face turned pale, and he was obviously quite frightened.
He naturally knew that his second brother would be deposed sooner or later, and he was deposed twice.
But in the previous life, my second brother's were intact from beginning to end. What happened in this life?
The Fourth Master subconsciously stroked his finger ring and said with a cold expression, "Jiu'er, I must go to the palace."
Wen Jiu nodded: "Go quickly, and be careful on the road."
The Fourth Master nodded and quickly went out with Thirteen and the other two.
Wen Jiu looked at their backs as they left, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
how so?
The crown prince actually cut off his own arm. According to common sense, the crown princess was born in the 47th year of Kangxi's reign. Now it is only the 40th year of Kangxi's reign, and Suo Etu has not stepped down yet. How could the crown prince lose the opportunity to compete for the throne just like that?
If the prince really cut off his arm and became disabled, it would be impossible for him to ascend the throne.
Although some ministers have been dissatisfied with the Crown Prince over the years, His Royal Highness is the only Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty. His reputation is extremely high, and his status is legitimate.
If he fell, the other princes would surely be ready to make a move. Does this mean that the battle for the throne among the nine princes would begin early?
However, Wenjiu really couldn’t understand what would make the prince make such a choice?
In other words, what kind of poison could make him cut off one of his arms to save his life?
Almost subconsciously, Wen Jiu also thought of the dark aura. For a moment, he felt completely unsure.
[Master, something is wrong. It's terribly wrong! I just realized that the Fourth Master's Darkness Level has reached 75%. Look!]
As soon as these words were spoken, Wenjiu's eyes widened in shock, and the next second, he quickly turned around and entered the space.
After checking the Fourth Master's attribute values, he was also shocked.
"How could this happen? The Fourth Master's Darkness Level was clearly only 10% left! And it's gone after he woke up from his sleep?"
Xiao Jin also shook his head slightly: "I don't know. His martial arts value has also changed. Look, his martial arts value was about forty points before? Now his martial arts value has reached 60%, which is really incredible." Xiao Jin couldn't see through it for a moment.
