Chapter 244: Die with Unclosed Eyes
The green mountains and clear waters were also shocked.
Wrong?
Wasn’t it done by the prince?
This is impossible.
They also couldn't think of anyone other than the prince who would dare to give such an order to kill a very capable guard.
Guard Li panicked and shook his head vigorously, "No, it's impossible."
But he was going to be disappointed.
The real truth is enough to make the loyal and righteous guard Li collapse.
Ji Chenchuan said coldly, "The prince wouldn't even take a mere guard seriously."
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
There are tens of thousands of guards in this palace, and quite a few of them are highly skilled in martial arts and loyal.
To put it bluntly, if Guard Liu died, the Crown Prince could just get another guard. So what was the big deal? In the Crown Prince's mind, changing guards was as easy as changing shoes.
and.
As the crown prince, what he needs to do is how to make his position as the crown prince more stable, how to prevent other princes from taking the lead, how to suppress Concubine Ning and the eleventh prince, and how to gain the loyalty of more court officials so that he will have no worries after he succeeds to the throne.
He would never take a small guard seriously.
this?
When everyone heard this, they were stunned again.
yes.
Although they hated some of the prince's actions, they had to admit that the prince was right. How could the prince bother with such a trivial matter as guarding?
Could it be that there is really some misunderstanding here?
Ji Chenchuan continued, "You said that Guard Liu's incident was caused by a hot gift. Do you know what this hot gift is?"
this?
Everyone was shocked again.
If Guard Li's statement is true, Guard Liu sent the gift down for careful inspection in order to protect the prince from being burned, then Guard Liu's absolute loyalty was also for the prince's own good.
But they never knew what this hot gift was.
Ji Chenchuan said, "Actually, it wasn't a gift, it was a hot pot, but someone wrapped it up and presented it as a gift."
besides.
"This hot pot was not sent by someone else, but was specially made and sent by the prince."
Coincidentally, during that period, the prince suddenly changed his taste and wanted to eat food with a stronger flavor, but the queen was strict and would not let him touch any strong-flavored food.
The prince was quite clever. He took advantage of the gift-giving opportunity and ordered someone to secretly send the soup pot in a gift box in order to conceal the truth.
"But who knew that he would be accidentally stopped by the loyal Guard Liu."
The hot pot in the gift box was naturally hot, and Guard Liu was also very loyal, so how could he allow such a thing to be delivered to the prince?
Hearing this, Guard Li's head was buzzing and he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
But he still didn't believe it.
"Then, it was he who ordered Brother Liu to be imprisoned, right?"
This is not wrong, right?
Seeing this, Ji Chenchuan sighed.
"Guard Li, you've been with the Crown Prince for several years. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
His hot pot is gone, does he think the prince will swallow this?
Even though it was just a dish, even though it was an accident, given the Crown Prince's spoiled personality, how could he possibly swallow his anger when he didn't get what he wanted? Someone had to bear the brunt of the wrath, right?
"Whether your brother Liu did it intentionally or not, it's true that he angered the Crown Prince. Therefore, the Crown Prince punished him and imprisoned him in a water dungeon as a punishment. This seems to be in line with the Crown Prince's character, right?"
When Guard Li heard this, his body began to stagger.
He had been with the Crown Prince for four years, so of course he knew his temperament. He was favored by the Emperor and the Empress, and was supported by the ministers. His life had been smooth, and he had never left anything unfulfilled. Whatever he wanted, he would get it.
The same thing happened with the hot pot. Moreover, this was something he had secretly planned for a long time. So, how could he not be angry? How could he not punish Brother Liu?
"But, but he's dead, he's dead. What's the point of saying this now?"
"Even if, even if he is not the mastermind, he is still an accomplice."
He is not wrong.
Ji Chenchuan's sarcasm was even stronger. "If I tell you now that you've taken revenge on the wrong person, what will you do? The Crown Prince is an accomplice? But your elder brother Liu took the initiative to remove Li Zi's things. Do you think he's also right? And I've said before that the Crown Prince doesn't care about Guard Liu. The real murderer of Guard Liu is someone else."
"No, that's impossible."
"Impossible? Haha, nothing is impossible in this world. So listen carefully, I will tell you who really killed your brother Liu."
Ji Chenchuan directly gave his name.
But Guard Li was completely confused. Who was Huang Ligou?
Ji Chenchuan was full of sarcasm.
"You don't even know who he is, yet you're still obsessed with avenging your brother Liu?"
"Guardian Li, you really have a big heart."
"Then do you remember that time when Guard Liu severely punished a eunuch because of a fruit plate?"
Guard Li was stunned again and nodded. He knew this of course, and since then, Brother Liu was privately referred to as the guard who drew a knife and put a finger on someone's neck.
etc.
Guard Li suddenly thought of something and looked at Ji Chenchuan in disbelief again.
"You, you mean to say that he was the one who killed my brother Liu?"
Ji Chenchuan sneered, "You're not that stupid."
That’s right, it was this eunuch named Huang Ligou who did it.
The young eunuch had always held a grudge against this matter in his heart. Guard Liu had embarrassed him and made him a laughing stock among the eunuchs. How could he swallow such humiliation?
So he waited for the opportunity, waiting for the day when Guard Liu would fall into trouble.
Coincidentally, he actually waited for it, which was the incident of the scalding pot six years ago.
This Huang Ligou was quite capable. He bribed the jailer and lynched Guard Liu, killing him using the most cruel method in the world.
Afterwards, he made moves in other places again, and the news spread that Guard Liu died accidentally because he could not bear the suffering in the water dungeon.
In addition, the prince did not care about the life or death of the guards around him, so the tragic death of Guard Liu was covered up by a eunuch.
Thinking of this, Ji Chenchuan was so angry that he laughed.
This harem seemed incredibly majestic, yet someone was doing such a dirty thing right under the noses of the Crown Prince and the Emperor. A figure like Guard Liu was tragically killed over a small, scalding pot? This was simply unbelievable and even more chilling.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned again.
Especially Guard Li, he stood there as if he had been poisoned by someone, not moving at all.
I'm afraid he finds it difficult to accept this fact?
For the past six years, he had always hated the wrong person and taken the wrong revenge? He thought it was the prince who did it, but he didn't expect that it was actually done by a small eunuch?
He couldn't accept it, he couldn't accept it.
What’s more important is that he can no longer avenge Brother Liu because he is about to die.
How could he go downstairs to see the dead Brother Liu?
Guard Li's eyes were red and he finally couldn't help but scream.
"Brother Liu, I, I'm sorry."
Bu.
The blood in his chest surged and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. This kind of blow was not something a small guard like him could bear. He could not accept this fact.
When Qingshan Lushui saw this, he didn’t know whether to feel more sympathy or sigh more.
Guard Li's heart meridians were severed and there was no possibility of survival, but when he thought of his enemy still staying in the harem, he could not close his eyes no matter what.
With his last breath, he tightly grasped Ji Chenchuan's sleeve.
"I know I'm wrong, but I'm a villain, and I won't accept it."
"I would like to ask the prince to avenge my brother Liu."
He didn't know whether Prince Ji would help him, but now, he really had no chance and no other way. Apart from asking Prince Ji for help, he could not think of any other way.
All the mistakes were due to his self-righteousness. He acted on his own without understanding the situation clearly.
With a quick breath, Guard Li died with his eyes open.
