Chapter 150
150
There are usually almost no people in their alley, which is why the prince often comes to see him without being discovered by anyone.
Moreover, the merchant who lived next to the dead end was out of town to purchase goods, so he was not in the capital. No one saw the two of them carrying and dragging a sack.
After walking a few steps, the two men discovered bloodstains. If they dragged the body back home, someone would definitely find it by following the bloodstains.
The two men found a few garbage baskets on the roadside to cover the sack. The prince went home and drove a carriage over. He carried the sack onto the carriage and put a lot of cloth on the carriage to prevent the blood from sticking to the carriage.
Liu Ya also went home, brought out the clothes he had just worn, carefully wiped off the blood stains in the house, and told the maid that he would be going out and not coming back to live today.
He often didn't come back to live, so the maid thought he went to his cousin's house and didn't say anything. She also thought that since the master was not at home today, she could have some leisure time and rest.
"Where are we going now?" Liu Ya was still in a panic and nervous state. He did not expect that the prince would help him and help him sweep up the bloodstains on the ground.
"You're not a goblin, are you? Goblins should know some magic to make him go away." The prince used his not-so-smart little head to come up with a good idea, "Leave the city."
"Leaving the city? Yes, leaving the city." Liu Ya followed him into the car and said, "We have to come back. If we leave without making a sound, we will definitely be discovered. We can't let my cousin get involved."
"You only think about your cousin and not me?" The prince said aggrievedly, "It's really disheartening."
Liu Ya didn't have time to coax him now, "Get off the car now, I'll go by myself."
"What are you going to do?" the prince asked him.
"Drag him to the wilderness and throw him there, or just throw him into the river and let the fish eat his body." Liu Ya touched the dagger in his sleeve, wanting to cut him into smaller pieces so that the fish would be easier to eat.
"How are you going to leave the city? If we leave the city with such a large carriage, we will definitely be checked by the guards at the city gate. But because of my status as a prince, I can be exempt from inspection. You can't get out on your own." The prince was still a little proud.
Liu Ya looked at him. He was also a careless person. He was scared to death just now, but now it seemed as if he had forgotten everything. The third prince was still lying under the chair at their feet.
"I have a farm outside the city. Normally my father won't let me go there, but today is a special situation, so I have to go there once," the prince sighed, "I will inevitably be beaten by my father when I go back this time."
The prince said as he moved closer to Liu Ya, "I really helped you a lot this time, how are you going to repay me? How about asking me to do it last time?"
After he finished speaking, Liu Ya glared at him, and he immediately shut up. He kept talking like a little complainer, saying how difficult it was for him. He was a grown man, but he lost his dignity as a man in front of Liu Ya. He just wanted to regain his masculinity, but Liu Ya didn't even give him the chance. At the end, she added, "You don't love me at all."
Liu Ya usually gets annoyed by his talkativeness, but today, the prince's non-stop chattering beside him actually calmed him down.
They soon arrived at the city gate, and sure enough, there were guards checking every carriage, and they were checking very carefully. I heard that it was because the second prince was going back to the capital, and the emperor was preparing a welcoming ceremony to welcome him, so the inspections were more strict recently.
When Liu Ya saw that the curtains of every carriage were lifted and inspected, his heart began to tighten.
His fingers were clenched tightly, and he felt a little regretful. He might as well find a random place in the city to dump the body, farther away, so that no one would find it. Why did he listen to the prince and leave the city? The prince has never been smart.
Turning back now would be too abrupt and would arouse suspicion, but if I don't go back and keep going forward, I will also be exposed. It's like if I stick my head out, I will get hurt.
"Get off the car and leave now. I will leave the city by myself. If I get caught, it's my own business. You don't have to worry about it." Liu Ya said to the prince beside him, "I heard that your father doesn't agree with our marriage. If I die, it will just go along with his wishes. I just want to beg you. If my affairs have implicated my cousin's family, you can help plead with the emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone had already come to check on them. The prince had no time to reply and had to deal with the soldiers guarding the city outside.
The prince lifted the curtain of the carriage and threw a bag of silver to the gatekeeper: "I have something to do outside the city, you are not allowed to tell my father, understand?"
The soldiers guarding the city glanced inside through the gap in the carriage curtain and saw a handsome man sitting inside. They immediately understood what the prince was going to do.
The prince was famous for his lust, and he would be beaten by the old prince after being famous for his lust. They guessed that the prince had found a handsome guy to have some fun, but was afraid that the old prince would find him and ruin his good fortune, so he wanted to run away from the city.
The prince is not afraid of trouble for the sake of beauty, but the beauty inside is indeed beautiful and worth all the trouble.
The soldiers guarding the city took the silver and respectfully escorted them out of the city without checking.
Prince Jing was known for his arrogance and they were afraid of offending him and losing their jobs. Besides, they were mainly checking the carriages of people entering the city, and would be more relaxed when leaving the city.
After leaving the city, the two men breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster.
When they arrived at the manor, the prince arranged a room for Liu Ya and drove everyone out. He said he wanted to do something that no one else could see.
Everyone understood what he meant and thought that the prince was really playing extravagantly.
The prince looked out, and Liu Ya took the three
Nanxi
The prince cut the meat into pieces, and at night the two of them threw the third prince into the river.
Watching the pieces of meat float away along the river, the two men finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, no one should mention it again, and keep it a secret forever.
But things have already happened, and it will definitely leave a psychological trauma. Liu Ya lay in bed at night, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and her body couldn't stop shaking.
The prince felt his emotions, hugged him in his arms, and gave him support. At this moment, he finally felt like a man in front of Liu Ya.
"Don't worry, our family has a golden medal of immunity from death, but my father will definitely not give it to you. Let's hide it for a while. When my father dies, I will give it to you." The prince said with heartache when he saw how pitiful he was.
"You are such a filial son. Do you hate your father?" Liu Ya asked him.
"I can't say I hate him, but I'm just very afraid of him. I'm afraid he would beat me. I was very well behaved when I was a child, but no matter what I did, he would call me stupid. He would beat me for the slightest thing. When I was four years old, he taught me to write, but I couldn't write well, so he threw me out of the window. I thought that I would be beaten for everything I did, whether I worked hard or played around, so I might as well do whatever I wanted. This way, at least I would be happy half of the time, and the other half I would be beaten by my father." said the prince.
"You are really open-minded." Liu Ya didn't expect that he had such a noble status, but such a miserable childhood. Fortunately, he was broad-minded. If he had been beaten by his parents since childhood, he would have hated his parents to death long ago.
"What if I don't want to be happy? Should I work hard according to my father's ideas? Wouldn't I have to spend half of my time facing boring books and the other half being beaten by him? It's better to be free like now. I have a thick skin and I'm not afraid of being beaten by him." The prince also grabbed his hand and touched his skin, "Feel it, is your skin thick?"
Liu Ya wondered if the prince had been beaten stupid by his father when he was a child and therefore had a poor memory. The two of them had just dealt with the third prince's body, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the bloody image of the third prince appeared in front of him. However, the prince seemed to have forgotten it and even joked with him and made moves on him.
Liu Ya was so affected by this incident that she couldn't calm down, so she simply turned over and pressed on the prince.
The prince cried out, "What are you doing? I helped you a lot today, can't you let me be on top for once?"
"Do you still want to be on top? Who was the one who cried and shouted that he never wanted to be on top again?" Liu Ya asked him.
"I..." The prince pouted and said, "I mean on top, not the kind that's on top."
They stayed in the manor for two days before returning. After returning, they heard the news that the third prince was missing, which caused an uproar in the city.
The matter was not exposed on the day they left, but this morning.
The third prince kept a mistress in the capital. Sometimes he would stay there for a day or two without allowing the guards from his family to follow him. There were maids and servants there as well, so they did not need to be brought from the prince's mansion.
He also didn't like being disturbed by others. For this reason, the people in the Prince's Mansion thought that he had gone to his concubine's room again and did not disturb him.
This morning, a message came from the palace asking him to prepare and attend the welcoming ceremony in a few days to greet his second brother's triumphant return.
The servants in the house then went to the concubine's house to look for him, but the concubine said that he had never come here.
Everyone then realized that the third prince was missing. They first went to look for him among his acquaintances, but couldn't find him. They then asked the guards leaving the city, but they also hadn't seen the third prince leave the city. They thought the matter had become a big deal, so they went to find the emperor and asked him to order help in the search.
The emperor didn't believe that a prince could get into an accident in the capital. He thought the third prince was troublesome, but he still sent people to look for him.
The prince pretended nothing had happened and returned to the mansion, but was then beaten up by the old prince. "I heard that you went out of town with a boy and went to the farm? Who was that guy? And where did you steal him from?"
The prince dodged while saying, "He's not a stranger, he's my fiancé. He'll be mine sooner or later anyway, so what's wrong with me taking him out?"
"You are quite self-righteous, aren't you? You are so shameless that you can do such a shameless thing without getting married. He is also shameless. He actually went with you. He is so anxious to get the throne? I will not let a shameless guy like him enter our palace." Prince Jing grabbed his ear and said, "I will take you to see the emperor and cancel this marriage."
"It was me. I forced him. I tied him up and took him there. I'm glad he doesn't go to the emperor to sue me..." After the prince found out that Liu Ya was not a goblin, he was no longer afraid of Liu Ya and was reluctant to cancel the marriage.
If his father still didn't agree, he was prepared to lie and say that Liu Ya was pregnant with his child and they had to get married in a short time.
Prince Jing was so angry with him that he wanted to beat him to death right away, but soon someone from the Dali Temple came to look for him.
The emperor handed the matter of the third prince over to the Dali Temple for investigation. They found out that the third prince had followed Liu Ya on the day he disappeared.
And Liu Ya went out of the city with the prince again. They were suspicious and wanted to take her back for investigation.
When the prince heard that Liu Ya had been taken away, he became very anxious. He turned around and leaned over to his father's ear and said, "Dad, can you give us your gold medal of immunity from death?"
The old prince's eyes widened. He knew without even thinking that the Third Prince must have had evil intentions towards Liu Ya, and his son had killed him in a fit of rage.
He almost fainted and wished he could just beat his son to death, but there was nothing he could do because he was his own child.
"Old Prince, don't be nervous. We are just taking him for investigation. We will send the prince back after the investigation." The Dali Temple meant not to let the old prince go, but only the prince.
The old prince told him not to talk too much. It was not a good idea for him to get the golden medal of immunity from death to give to the prince now. If he did, he would be exposed. Besides, the one who died was a prince. If the emperor knew about it, he would not be able to save himself even with the golden medal.
Liu Ya had been taken away for questioning before him.
Liu Ya deliberately wore a gorgeous and brightly colored dress today, and also wore many red hairpins. She couldn't make any big movements, otherwise the jewelry on her head would get tangled together.
When the prince arrived, he saw Liu Ya pointing at the yamen runners with a coquettish face and scolding, "Don't dirty my clothes, they are very expensive. You also ruined my newly painted nails. How are you going to compensate me? There is so much dust on your side of the road, my new skirt is about to get dirty."
It was the first time that the prince had seen Liu Ya like this. She was such a good actress.
However, it was also because of this that the officials of the Dali Temple thought that he was just a delicate and cunning boy. How could such a boy kill anyone? The third prince could break his neck with one hand.
This preconceived impression made them focus their attention on the prince, but the prince was a fool and didn't look like someone who would kill anyone.
They asked what they had done that day and why they left the city.
The prince's face was full of shyness. "When we go out of the city, of course I will take him to my farm to play."
"What exactly did you do?" the interrogating officer asked him.
The prince blushed, "Do you have to be so specific? It was in the room, on the bed..."
"Oh~ You're so annoying. Why do you say such things?" Liu Ya covered her face.
The interrogating officials asked the soldiers guarding the city, and they said they saw only two people in the carriage, and the third prince was not there.
The two of them are suspects, but there is no evidence that they did it. There were no cameras in ancient times, and they don't have police dogs to smell scents, and there are no eyewitnesses. Even if it is the prince, it would be difficult to find him if he was lost.
When the Empress Dowager found out, she immediately sent people to pressure them to release the prince.
After the Dali Temple finished its questioning, they were released. However, the whole capital knew that the prince and his future husband had spent two days and one night in a farm outside. The emperor also heard about it and asked them to get married quickly, causing an uproar in the city and bringing shame to the royal family.
The prince was still not satisfied with Liu Ya, and told the emperor that the prince was used to being embarrassed, and this one time was nothing.
If it were someone else, the emperor would not care so much, but Liu Ya is the cousin of Cheng Yeran's husband, so how could he let people talk about it so casually? He asked someone to choose a good day and they will get married next month.
