"Stop!" Xiang Hua shouted while running, and she shouted herself tired before she even got tired.
The third prince ran away without caring about anything, and a group of people followed him and started a palace marathon.
Xiang Hua was tired from running and stopped to catch her breath. The crown prince and the second prince who were following her almost bumped into her.
In order not to hit her, they turned sideways at the same time, and then the two of them collided perfectly.
The people behind saw the Crown Prince and the Second Prince falling to the ground and failing to take emergency shelter, and they all bumped into each other.
A group of people fell down one after another like dominoes.
There were screams, sounds of people falling down, and the sounds of people shouting in panic.
Some people sprained their ankles, some had broken faces, some had their clothes stepped on, and some had messy hair like Sadako.
Eunuch Liu went to support the emperor, but he stumbled and fell in the crowd.
Xiang Hua turned around and saw a sea of people lying on the ground. For a moment she thought she had traveled through time again.
Oh my god, what is going on? Is this a large-scale werewolf killing scene?
The third prince heard the noise and looked back. It would have been fine if he hadn’t looked, but when he did, he was shocked.
The people who had just fallen to the ground got up and started chasing him again.
"Oh my god, oh my god, are they zombies?" The third prince screamed and ran back to his room and quickly locked the door.
The maid in the room asked, "What happened to the Third Prince? Why do you look so unhappy after coming back from court?"
The maidservant next to him whispered, "Don't ask. The emperor must want to kill him. I know this script well. Our prince is being pushed down by everyone. Maybe we will be dragged to be buried with him. It's like the tomb of the living dead, you know."
Upon hearing this, Maid A's legs went limp and she sat down on the ground. She was still young and she didn't want to be buried with the dead, let alone enter the Tomb of the Living Dead.
When the Third Prince heard the conversation between the two little palace maids, he became even more speechless.
"Both of you, close all the doors and don't let anyone in."
The two maids nodded obediently. Maid B continued, "I told you, my guess is correct. Our prince is going to rise up in rebellion. If he succeeds, he will be the new emperor. If he dies, he will just be a corpse."
…
The third prince was in a state of confusion at the moment, as all the civil and military officials had already caught up with him.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince knocked on the door and shouted, "Third brother, open the door, we know you are in there, don't hide and don't come out."
The emperor hid in the crowd and enjoyed watching the fun.
Civil and military officials also imitated the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, knocking on the door and shouting.
"Third Prince, please open the door. We know you are inside. Don't hide there."
The third prince looked at the shadows of the people shining through the door and the shouting words, and sat on the ground, not knowing what to do.
He repeatedly recalled what he had done wrong. Did he betray his teacher and ancestors? No!
Killing his father and usurping the throne? No!
Rape women? No!
The third prince couldn’t figure it out and felt like he was going to break down.
At the same time, Palace Maid B started talking again, "Why do I think those people outside are insane? You know what insane means? It means people have lost their reason and look like zombies."
Palace Maid A looked at the people outside with a pale face. It seemed to be true. The more she looked, the more similar it was.
Those people are simply a bunch of zombies. Is today the end of the world?
The conversation between the two little palace maids was suddenly interrupted by a clear female voice.
"Third Prince, you run really fast!"
Xiang Hua found a fan and tried to cool herself down, but it was so exhausting.
The Third Prince's nerves jumped rapidly when he heard the voice. "How...how did you get in?"
Xiang Hua pointed at the door breathlessly: "I came in...from the door."
After she finished speaking, she quickly poured herself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.
"The door was just locked. You couldn't have gotten in there."
"Little fool, I came in before you locked the door."
After Xiang Hua drank enough water, she began to search the third prince's room.
[Xiaogua, where are the precious books in the Third Prince's collection? ]
System: [Are you talking about the spring...that...picture? ]
[Yes, where? ]
[It was hidden among the Four Books and Five Classics in his study.]
Xianghua rubbed her hands excitedly, wow wow wow, spring...that...picture is coming!
The two palace maids nearby looked puzzled.
"My lady, you may have misunderstood. Our Third Prince is kind-hearted. He would never read those things."
"Yes, our Third Prince is the purest and kindest prince in the world. He only knows the Four Books and Five Classics. How could he read those books?"
The third prince looked embarrassed. Actually, he was not that pure. No matter how pure he was, he was still a man.
Xiang Hua was confused. Could these two palace maids hear what she was thinking?
How did they know what she was looking for? Never mind, finding the thing was more important.
"Two beauties, where are the pure books that your pure prince reads? They are those thick books of the Four Books and Five Classics."
Xiang Hua asked with a smile, and the two palace maids took a step back unconsciously. Why did this woman in front of them smile so creepy?
Doesn't she have a knife hidden behind her?
In order to protect themselves, the two palace maids betrayed the third prince without hesitation.
"Go forward, at the very back of the study, on the back wall are all the Four Books and Five Classics."
The Third Prince hurried to stop him. He opened his arms and said righteously, "Master Xiang, you cannot go in."
"Have you hidden some evidence of treason in there?" Xiang Hua smiled smugly.
"I didn't, I didn't."
"Then why are you so nervous?"
The third prince wanted to make a few more excuses, but Xiang Hua dodged and slipped under his arm, and gave him a soul-stirring kick in the crotch.
Ahhhh-
The third prince screamed to the sky!!!
Xianghua quickly got the thick, spring...that...picture.
The scale of this scene shocked Xiang Hua, who had seen many big scenes.
The more she looked, the more excited she became, and the redder her face became...
The third prince stood aside and suddenly found that the things he had carved that could not be seen by the light were neatly arranged in a row behind the bookshelf.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this girl would not find out.
What you say will come true, Xiang Hua's eyes lit up.
"What are these? Wood carvings! You have this skill." Xiang Hua exclaimed and threw away the book in his hand.
Compared to the flat things in the book, the carvings behind the bookshelf are so lifelike, it's like a 3D version of the spring picture.
Xiang Hua picked up one and took a look. Although it was made of wood, it looked exquisite and lifelike.
“Did you carve this?”
"Yes, I'm going to die, I'm so ashamed!" The third prince sighed.
The sound of people knocking on the door outside was getting louder and louder, and the door was shaking so much that it was about to fall apart.
"Third Prince, let's make a deal." Xiang Hua suddenly said.
"What deal?" The third prince lowered his eyes, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
