Chapter 8: Traveling through time and becoming the wife of a prefect whose family was exterminated, she destroyed all her enemies (VIII)
"This prince seriously suspects that you were planted by other princes beside me.
It was just to stab me in the back and make Miss Liu and the others misunderstand me."
Thinking of the conversation he had heard before, the Fifth Prince blamed everything on the three of them.
It’s a pity that he is now powerless, otherwise he really wants to strangle Yang Yi to death first.
One of his royal brothers had actually placed a chess piece next to him for so long without him noticing.
"Xue'er, I am sincere to you. I have never done anything to harm you or your people.
For the sake of our marriage, please untie my acupuncture points first, and then we can talk things over."
Yang Yi secretly signaled to Li Wu and the others that now was not the time for internal strife and they had to find a way to leave the mountain.
After hearing this, Liu Bing looked at her sister with concern, fearing that she would be deceived by this man.
“Yang Yi, don’t talk about those fake husband-wife relationships.
I know who you're waiting for.
Don't worry, I'll let you wait for him.
Since he is also one of the masterminds behind this, I certainly won't let him be alone.
How could I possibly let the Third Prince, who provided the murderous drug, go free?"
Seeing that Yang Yi still had unrealistic expectations at this time, Hu Xiaomeng directly stopped him from thinking about it.
"What? Are you the Third Prince's man?"
Upon hearing this breaking news, Cui Kun and Li Wu looked at Yang Yi in shock.
In this case, doesn't it mean that the Third Prince knows everything that the Fifth Prince asked them to do?
Privately training troops and mining are all crimes punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.
Cui Kun was terrified when he thought about his elderly mother and other members of the Cui family who might be implicated by him.
Li Wu had no relatives, so he was not as scared as Cui Kun.
"You are actually my third brother's man? The prince that everyone thinks is least likely to take that position?"
The fifth prince thought that the person behind Yang Yi might be his eldest brother or second brother.
I didn’t expect it was the low-key third brother. He hid really well.
Often, the dog that doesn't bark is the most ferocious when it bites. This sentence is very appropriate when applied to his third brother.
"Fifth Prince, my wife is joking with us. How could I possibly have second thoughts about you?"
Yang Yi explained calmly, glanced at the sky, and hoped that dawn would come soon.
As soon as day breaks, he will have a chance of being rescued, as the main force should be arriving.
Before his real master arrives, he must never admit that he has betrayed the Fifth Prince.
Before daybreak, everyone on the mountain could hear the sound of fighting echoing through the sky coming from halfway up the mountain.
It seems that the two groups started fighting, and the fight was very fierce.
Hu Xiaomeng asked Ling Guoguo to guard the mountainside and fly back from time to time to report the latest situation.
[Master, silver is so useful!]
The general from the Fifth Prince's side, who was bribed by your 100,000 taels of silver, brought his private soldiers and fought fiercely with the Third Prince's men.
The two sides are equally strong, and the situation is currently a draw.]
Ling Guoguo flew back and reported the latest situation to his master. Now he could stay about five kilometers away from his master without any problem.
"Where's the Third Prince? The people I sent to the capital said he's already left the palace and should be in You'an City now.
Is he hiding in the army?"
Hu Xiaomeng's target is not these soldiers. She does all this just to lure the third prince to Canglan Mountain.
Based on her analysis of the Third Prince, this person is likely to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Fifth Prince.
After all, this is a great opportunity, and it won't be easy for his father to find out about him.
[Master, you are really a prophet. The third prince is indeed in disguise and mixed in with the army.
He kept looking up the mountain, and he would probably sneak up the mountain soon, escorted by the secret guards.
Fortunately, her master had emphasized to her that they should pay attention to the Third Prince's every move, so Ling Guoguo noticed that among the soldiers, there was one person whose movements and expression were particularly different.
That Fan looked like a leader, and after careful identification, it was confirmed that he was the third prince.
"Li Wu, the men you trained are quite good. They are on par with the Third Prince's elite troops.
They are now fighting fiercely halfway up the mountain, and it is unclear who will win in the end."
Hu Xiaomeng told the latest news to the four men who were forced to kneel in front of the tombstone of the Canglan tribe members.
Seeing the joy that appeared on their faces at the same time, he changed the subject and directly shattered their hopes:
"But no matter who wins in the end, it won't matter. I heard that the Emperor has already sent the First and Second Princes with troops to deal with you, the private soldiers who have been secretly training.
The emperor, who is far away in the capital, must be sitting on the dragon throne with his heart hanging in his throat.
I never expected that his good sons had already secretly planned to force him to abdicate and kill him."
The facts will be just as Hu Xiaomeng said. At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall of the morning court in the capital is extremely solemn.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the court officials below with an expressionless face.
He was wondering in his heart who were on the Third Prince's side, who were on the Fifth Prince's side, and how many of the other neutral people were truly loyal to him.
All the civil and military officials lowered their heads, you looked at me secretly, I looked at you secretly, and no one dared to say a word.
All this was thanks to Hu Xiaomeng who spent a lot of money to send someone to deliver a letter to the palace, which allowed the emperor to know so many of his sons' private actions.
Since ancient times, open and covert struggles within the royal family have been common, and examples of emperors killing their sons and brothers killing each other are not uncommon.
He was aware of the undercurrents in the capital, but he hadn't expected it to develop to the point where it would bring him down.
Because the things described in the letter were so detailed, the emperor sent his people to investigate it thoroughly in one day and found that everything was true.
No matter what the purpose of the person who sent the letter was, he had to capture all the private soldiers of his two sons first, and then deal with those two daring sons.
That's why the eldest prince and the second prince led their troops to rush over and capture those private soldiers.
But they didn't expect that they would come back empty-handed, and both groups actually went to Canglan Mountain.
"How is it possible? How could my father know about this?"
The Fifth Prince was forced by the people from the Jueqing Valley to kneel in front of the tombstone, listening to the familiar sounds of weapons halfway up the mountain.
He was thinking that he would be able to leave here soon, and when he did, he would tear the little daughter of the Liu family into pieces.
Unexpectedly, she reported bad news to him one after another, which made all his thoughts collapse.
This woman is simply a devil. She kills people by tearing out their hearts, skinning them, and ripping out their hearts and lungs.
He was so skilled that even he, who grew up in the palace where killing was done without bloodshed, felt inferior to him.
Isn't it said that she grew up in Canglan Mountain and was protected so that she looks innocent?
Unexpectedly, these stupid subordinates brought back false information.
