Chapter 243: Killing the Wrong Person, Taking the Wrong Revenge
Such brotherhood is particularly precious in this ruthless palace.
But if people knew, they would know that they would never have thought that Guard Li had a relationship with Guard Liu who had been dead for many years, and that they had a very close relationship.
Because these two people have completely different personalities.
Guard Li was smart, enthusiastic, generous, and could get along well with the eunuchs and palace maids. Every time he received his monthly salary, he would treat these people to drinks. Over time, he gained the love of many eunuchs and palace maids.
However, this guard Liu is different.
He was serious and rigid, never knowing how to adapt, and certainly not one to treat anyone to a drink. Even people who had worked with him for ten years had never seen him smile or had a drink with him.
What's worse, he also earned the bad reputation of drawing a knife to someone's neck.
Once, a eunuch accidentally brought the wrong fruit to the prince, and he was dragged out by the prince, with a knife to his neck, intending to kill him.
It was just the wrong fruit, not a big deal. We were all in the palace together, so why not just turn a blind eye and let it go? At worst, we could just replace the fruit plate. Why would we put a knife to someone's neck and kill them? After much persuasion, it was finally the chief eunuch who came forward to bring the matter to light.
And from then on, this happened, and no one wanted to be friends with him anymore. Because of this, he incurred the hatred of many people.
But the funny thing is that they can't shake his position, and they can't do anything about him because he is close to the prince, and the queen likes the prince very much. If they act rashly against him, wouldn't it alarm the queen?
Later, Guard Liu died. No one knew how he died, and no one cared. Too many people died in the harem. Who would care about the cause of death of someone they hated? As long as he was dead, that was enough.
Soon, his death was lost in the long flow of time, and no one remembered this man's existence anymore. The only thing that could be remembered was that he had drawn his sword and put it to his neck.
It is precisely because their personalities are so different and so much time has passed that who would have thought that Li and Liu would have such a deep brotherly love?
Guard Li said.
"I can get here thanks to Brother Liu."
"I was just a young boy from the village, without a father or a mother. If he hadn't shown me the way forward, I would have died long ago."
"In the eyes of others, Brother Liu is unkind, but he gave all his monthly salary to me."
"I'm very happy to be a guard in the palace. Even if I'm just a lowly guard standing on the wall, I'm happy because I'm getting closer and closer to him."
"When the Crown Prince passed by the palace wall, Brother Liu and I looked at each other from afar, and we both saw in each other's eyes a bond that only we understood."
Having said that, he smiled happily.
In his life, those days when they looked at each other from afar were probably the happiest and most memorable days for him.
But for a moment, his face was filled with pain again. "But I will never forget the way he died."
"He was imprisoned in the dungeon. I had originally thought of finding a time to visit him. I had also prepared money to bribe him. I even pawned my only valuable jade pendant. I just wanted to rescue him. Even if I couldn't rescue him, I wanted to make his life in the dungeon easier."
"But who would have thought that he would be executed that very night."
"Do you know how he died? He was first scalded with boiling water and then the skin was peeled off alive."
"Finally, they chopped off his hand."
"When I arrived, I saw a bloody, inhuman-looking red flesh man with a red human skin."
A deep hatred flashed in his eyes.
"So, tell me, how can I not avenge him?"
"What's even more ridiculous is that Brother Liu did nothing wrong. He was simply doing his job, checking the gifts sent by his subordinates. He discovered that one of the gift boxes was very hot. He was afraid the prince would get hurt, so he had the eunuch in charge carry the gift down and inspect it carefully before bringing it back up."
So, is he wrong to do this?
He is doing this for the prince's own good and is loyal to him.
But who knew that he would suffer misfortune because of this.
He really didn't understand why this happened. Even now, he still didn't understand what was going on.
But it doesn't matter anymore. His good brother is dead, his light is gone, he is disheartened, and he has only one thought in mind, which is to avenge him.
then.
"I worked hard, pretended to be warm and generous, and within two years, I became a guard in the Prince's Palace."
"And I, in order to become the prince's attendant, worked hard for another four years."
"I originally thought I would have a chance to take action within these four years, but who would have thought he was so well protected, with no chance of escape."
"In a few months I will be leaving the palace. I am afraid I will never have the chance to seek revenge again."
"I also know that my actions today were too reckless, but I have no other choice. I can only take a gamble, even if it means losing my life. I will not hesitate."
And this is enough.
It’s a pity that the prince is still alive, and he just drank a few mouthfuls of dirty water.
After he finished speaking, he fell silent. He knew that his death was approaching, and he quietly waited for the verdict of the god of death.
"Prince?"
Qingshan Lushui once again understood the brotherhood between them and couldn't help but be moved.
move?
Ji Chenchuan laughed endlessly.
"What's there to be moved about? What's there to be moved about?"
"Guard Li, please stop bragging here."
"In fact, you haven't even found the real reason why he died, but you arrogantly think it's the prince's fault and want him to die."
"Huh, that's ridiculous."
Of course, although the prince was not a good person, his virtue was unworthy of his position and he was extremely disgusting, but this does not mean that Guard Liu was killed by his orders?
What's the meaning?
"Prince Ji, what do you mean?"
Guard Li was a little surprised when he heard this, but more excited.
"Sir, don't say that just because he's the crown prince and you don't dare offend him. How can it not be his fault? He was the one who ordered my brother Liu to be thrown into the water dungeon. He was the one who ordered my brother Liu to be executed. If it weren't for him, how could my brother Liu have died?"
Don't think he is stupid. Brother Liu has a very high status in the prince's guard. Who would dare to do this without the prince's personal order?
Now someone tells him that this is not the case?
Did he kill the wrong person and take revenge on the wrong person?
How could he believe it?
The irony in Ji Chenchuan's eyes became even stronger. "I, Ji Chenchuan, will never speak nonsense just because of his high status. I am not afraid of power. Even if His Majesty did something wrong, I will not say that he did the right thing."
"Hmph, you are so self-righteous. You deserve what you have today."
