Chapter 307: The Second Prince Died
"The men's eyes are red. They are like wild beasts. When the Royal Guards and we barge in, any normal person would hide or be disturbed. But the Second Prince and these men didn't notice at all. This is very wrong."
"Could it be that he took a poisonous drug?"
"Of course it is. It wouldn't be so absurd not to take the tiger and wolf medicine."
Everyone was talking about it.
"Everyone." The Royal Guards stood in front of the crowd, "Please leave first."
"Hey, hey, hey, young man from the Royal Guards, why are you chasing us away? Go and separate them quickly. There's something wrong with the Second Prince." Duke Shen said.
"That's right, there's no point in stopping us. Saving the Second Prince is more important."
The Royal Guards were all confused.
They are all masters!
They can't afford to offend anyone.
Things have gotten to this point and can no longer be hidden.
We can only rescue the second prince first.
The Royal Guards took great effort to separate the men from the second prince.
The second prince was covered in blood.
Especially below, blood was gushing out.
He was covered with wounds.
Every wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on the body.
When he was rescued by the Royal Guards, he was still breathing.
His eyes widened: "Thank you!"
"Thanks……"
The Royal Guards thought that the Second Prince was thanking them, and their expressions were very complicated.
The second prince usually didn't even look at them, but this time he actually said thank you to them.
It seems that he was really tortured.
"Second Prince, please hold on. I will call the imperial physician..."
Before the Imperial Guards could finish their words, the Second Prince dropped his hands and his head drooped.
"Second Prince."
"Second Prince, wake up."
"I have sent someone to call the imperial physician. Hello..."
The Royal Guard checked the Second Prince's breath and felt his carotid artery.
His expression suddenly turned extremely ugly: "The Second Prince has died."
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
The death of the prince is a big deal.
Yu Lingye has the highest status among these people.
After the death of the second prince, the Royal Guards asked Yu Lingye for instructions.
Yu Lingye said, "The Second Prince is a prince. This matter is of great importance and must be reported to the Emperor."
The Royal Guards looked at each other.
If this is reported to the emperor, he will be furious.
The emperor was furious and it was these people who suffered.
"I will personally write the memorial," Yu Lingye said. "Duke Shen will deliver the message on your behalf. You are responsible for surrounding the underground palace and detaining and guarding the relevant personnel to ensure that no one escapes."
The Royal Guards were very grateful.
The memorial soon reached the emperor.
It was marked with the words "Urgent".
The emperor opened the letter and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
The memorial was written by Yu Lingye.
It said that the Second Prince openly sent assassins to kill them during the Spring Festival, and also kidnapped Xie Yingmian. The Royal Guards were sent to track them down, and they discovered that the Second Prince had built an underground palace under the ruins of the Phoenix Palace, where countless women were imprisoned. The Second Prince and a group of people took a poisonous drug, and in full view of everyone, he died absurdly in the underground palace.
At the end of the letter, Yu Lingye pleaded with the emperor to seek justice for the woman who was imprisoned and even tortured to death in the underground palace and the frightened Xie Yingmian.
The emperor was so angry that he smashed everything at hand.
He knew very well that the Second Prince was being plotted against.
The person who plotted against the second prince was either Yu Lingye or Xie Yingmian!
His sons are all his tools, he doesn't care whether they live or die.
He just feels disgusted.
He was disgusted that Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian slapped him in the face in this way, killing him with a useful tool.
It would be fine if his son died in vain.
Being caught by so many people, he could no longer show favoritism.
The best way is to expel the second prince from the royal family and compensate the women imprisoned here.
In addition, he also had to appease Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian, who planned to kill the second prince.
He has to suffer this loss even if he doesn't want to. It's really disgusting.
The emperor became angrier and angrier, and he smashed a lot of things before he calmed down.
After calming down, he drafted the imperial edict.
The second prince knowingly broke the law, disregarded human life, had a violent temper, and killed countless people. He was truly a disgrace to the royal family. From today on, he was demoted to a commoner, his body was not allowed to be placed in the imperial mausoleum, his descendants and family were driven out of Shangjing and were never allowed to return to the palace. Moreover, his descendants could no longer have the surname Yu.
The deceased women were to be traced back to their hometowns and their parents were to be compensated with one thousand taels of silver.
If the women imprisoned in the underground palace are willing to return to their hometowns, they will be escorted back by special personnel and compensated with one thousand taels of silver.
If they did not want to return to their place of origin, they would be sent to the Charity Bureau and each would be compensated with 1,000 taels of silver.
Xie Yingmian was frightened and rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, as well as some head ornaments that looked good but were useless.
Once the imperial decree is issued, it cannot be changed.
Xie Yingmian had no satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
By killing the second prince, they got the second prince's privately hidden gold and the stone of immortality for free, and also got the emperor's gold, which was considered a great harvest.
The Royal Guards took over the underground palace.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye returned to the ground.
"Yu Lingye, let's go back to Lihua Temple." Xie Yingmian said, "I think I found Xiao Houzi."
Yu Lingye narrowed his eyes: "Someone who makes plain noodles?"
Xie Yingmian nodded.
The person who makes vegetarian noodles is also the person who wrote the words "Run away" on the chopsticks, and... the person who collects corpses in the underground brothel.
After Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye arrived at Lihua Temple.
In the kitchen, a hunchbacked old man was rolling noodles carefully.
There is broth boiling in the pot.
The broth is not made by stewing meat bones, but by boiling various mushrooms and medicinal herbs.
The whole house is filled with fragrance.
The taste is no worse than the broth made from meat bones.
"You're here." Xiao Houzi was not surprised at all when he saw Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye.
He greeted me like an old friend, and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, the noodles will be ready soon."
He put the rolled noodles into the pot.
After the noodles are boiled, the aroma becomes more intense.
After the noodles were cooked, Xiao Houzi served himself a bowl and started eating them seriously.
Xie Yingmian didn't urge him either.
Waiting for Xiao Houzi to finish a big bowl of noodles.
Xie Yingmian then asked, "When did you stop eating meat?"
Xiao Houzi paused.
He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yingmian.
After seeing Xie Yingmian's face, he froze.
Those cloudy eyes seemed to be looking at someone through Xie Yingmian.
"After becoming a corpse collector," Xiao Houzi said, "the first time I saw a corpse being eaten by fish, I vomited for three days and three nights. I haven't eaten meat since then."
As he said this, his eyes shifted to his hands.
Once, a close friend said that the barbecue he made was amazing and he could never get enough of it.
My best friend also said that the meat buns he made were unique and you would never get tired of eating them every day.
My best friend said...
With the praise from his best friends, he wanted to keep climbing to greater heights.
However, he still entered a bottleneck period.
During that period, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the bottleneck, and his cooking skills even showed signs of regressing.
He was extremely anxious.
Later, another close friend told him that the palace had collected cookbooks from all over the world, including countless rare copies.
He was moved.
