The fall frightened the guards who rushed forward to support him, but the horse was suddenly startled and caught off guard. They saw the prince's nose suddenly become hot and two lines of blood flowed out. They felt embarrassed and angry at the same time: "What's wrong with this horse?!"
Without King Qin saying anything, the other guards immediately tried to control the horse. However, the horse struggled hard and looked like it was greatly stimulated. Seeing this, the guards drew their swords and slashed at it. In an instant, the horse fell down, twitched for a while, and then became silent.
"Your Highness, there are needles hidden in the reins. The driver just tightened the reins and the needles pierced the reins, causing the horse to lose control." The guard said cautiously after checking.
King Qin's face darkened: "Tie up the driver!"
His carriage should have been watched from beginning to end, but it was tampered with by someone. Even if it was not the driver's fault, he must have deserted his post. He deserves to die!
Prince Qin wiped the blood off his face, but he still felt a burning pain all over his face. Thinking that his plan today had failed and Xiao Cunyu was still alive, he felt even more upset.
"Your Majesty, please find out who did this..."
"Is it necessary to investigate?" King Qin sneered.
Who would dare to take action against him with such a large order? It must be his third brother!
No wonder, after getting off the boat just now, she was still holding on to him and talking so much nonsense. It turned out that she was deliberately delaying time and trying to harm him!
Prince Qin straightened his clothes, looked at his carriage, snorted, and turned to go to Prince Rui. Prince Rui saw his behavior and smiled a little: "What's wrong with Fourth Prince?"
"Brother Emperor, do you really not know?" Prince Qin stared at him coldly.
Prince Rui, however, remained relaxed. "I'm in a hurry to return home. If you, Fourth Prince, have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave. I have to go to the palace tomorrow morning to apologize to my father!"
"Then I'd like to trouble my royal brother to give me a ride." Prince Qin got directly into Prince Rui's carriage.
Prince Rui knew what was going on and did not stop him.
The two brothers have been fighting for many years, and they even know each other's habits very well. The person who assassinated Xiao Cunyu today is most likely related to the fourth brother, but the assassins hired by the fourth brother are the most loyal. He has caught a few of them in the past, but he couldn't get a single word out of them. So this time will definitely be the same, and no evidence will be found.
The fourth brother wanted Xiao Cunyu to die on his boat. Fortunately, nothing happened, but he was still frightened. It is only right to teach him a lesson now.
However, his move was obviously crude. He had thought that at most the carriage would have an accident to warn the fourth brother. He never expected that the fourth brother's luck was so bad that he actually fell down. It was really a pleasant surprise.
But this unexpected surprise is not over yet.
The two brothers got on the same carriage, but it was spacious and they didn't feel crowded. Because it was hot, ice was placed in the carriage to keep out the heat. The two of them were silent all the way. Halfway through the journey, a snake appeared from under the couch next to the ice stove, spitting out its tongue and biting the king directly!
King Qin subconsciously protected his face, but his hand was bitten, leaving teeth marks instantly.
Look at that snake again...
"This snake is poisonous! Call the imperial physician quickly!" Prince Qin was panicked.
For a moment, he felt as if his hands were paralyzed and his whole body was stiff with fear. Fortunately, the guards appeared in time and took the snake out, otherwise even King Rui would have been scared to death.
Although the two were princes, they had been treated with dignity since childhood and had learned riding and archery, but they were not good at them, and had never encountered many dangers. Now that they had suddenly encountered this incident, they were in complete chaos.
