Chapter 447 Pathetically Stupid
Xiao Can immediately went to the Crown Prince's side.
The prince frowned as he looked at Yun Que, who still had a slight smile on her lips.
"You weren't poisoned and rendered mute!"
Yun Que stepped in front of Qin Jinzhi.
"His Highness the Crown Prince isn't very well-informed."
The Crown Prince looked at Yun Que, who had spoken, and at Qin Jinzhi, who had not yet been poisoned.
"Your poison has been neutralized?"
Qin Jinzhi did not answer, but stood up and faced the Crown Prince.
"Xiao Chengqian, I'm so glad you were so clever and didn't get along with your grandparents, so you didn't receive their personal guidance. You're so stupid, it makes me feel sorry for you. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Qin Jinzhi's laughter echoed unrestrainedly throughout the room.
The Crown Prince's face turned completely cold. "Jinzhi, did your grandparents ever teach you that arrogant people often come to a bad end?"
Upon receiving the Crown Prince's signal, Xiao Can immediately called out, "Someone come here!"
The Crown Prince's eyes were filled with a delighted smile. "Jinzhi, so what if you've thought of everything? This is the Eastern Palace. If I want to kill you, it'll be as easy as turning my hand."
Qin Jinzhi gracefully twirled in front of him.
"Let me guess, are there swordsmen and archers lying in ambush outside the door? Why is there no movement?"
Xiao Can shouted urgently, "Guards! There's an assassin! Protect the Crown Prince!"
There was still no movement outside the door.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said to Yun Que, "Yun Que, open the window."
Lark pushed open the window, and a strong smell of blood hit him.
Xiao Can stared wide-eyed at the sight outside the window!
"Father!"
The prince looked over and saw the ground outside littered with the decapitated corpses of swordsmen and archers.
They were killed without even making a sound.
The crown prince took a step back almost imperceptibly.
"You dare to commit violence in the Eastern Palace, Qin Jinzhi, do you know that this is treason!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "Uncle is right, so I've decided to kill all your people. That way, who will know it was me who did it?"
Although Qin Jinzhi still had a smile on her face, Xiao Can's body was trembling uncontrollably.
To be able to make such a move in the Eastern Palace so quietly, has Qin Jinzhi surrounded the area?
The crown prince slowly moved towards the door, then shouted at Xiao Can, "Go!"
The two rushed out the door.
This was also the first time the Crown Prince had revealed his martial arts skills.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the commander of the Eastern Palace guards appeared with his men.
The crown prince was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Seize Qin Jinzhi!"
Upon hearing this, the guards of the Eastern Palace drew their swords in unison.
But he did not go to Qin Jinzhi.
Her sharp face pointed directly at the Crown Prince and Xiao Can.
The guard captain said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the princess has ordered that you and the Crown Prince are not allowed to leave the Eastern Palace alive today."
The crown prince glared at him with a ferocious expression, "You're Qin Jinzhi's man!"
Xiao Can was furious, "You actually betrayed your master!"
Qin Jinzhi walked out of the house laughing, tears even welling up in her eyes.
She looked at Xiao Chengqian with a mocking expression, "Do you really think your foolish tricks of hiding your talents can fool anyone? From the moment I began to suspect you, this Eastern Palace has been filled with my people. Even the guards at the gate, the palace servants serving tea, the cooks in the kitchen, and your bedmate are all my people."
It was as if the prince's nerves had finally snapped.
"Shen Liuying? Do you think I would really believe that woman? I have already ordered someone to poison her. She will die along with her unborn child. She will suffer the same fate as you."
Qin Jinzhi laughed even louder, "Are you sure the person I'm talking about is Shen Liuying?"
The expression on the prince's face gradually cracked.
The only woman who can speak up in the Eastern Palace now.
Besides Shen Liuying, there were only two concubines left.
They all come from prestigious families, how could they possibly help Qin Jinzhi!
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Qin Jinzhi put her finger to her lips, "Shh! Listen, it's a woman wailing."
She looked intently at the Crown Prince, “However, this is not the sound of Shen Liuying dying. Uncle, you are going to be a father again.”
The prince stumbled, and Shen Liuying was about to give birth.
The timing is wrong, the timing is wrong!
How could it be so fast!
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at him, "Don't worry, this is, after all, the continuation of the bloodline of the Emperor's grandfather and grandmother. How could I confuse it? I just asked Shen Liuying to postpone her pregnancy. The poison you sent didn't even reach her stomach. Uncle, the scene you were most worried about still happened."
The Crown Prince looked at Qin Jinzhi with a gloomy expression, "So your Qin family really has rebellious intentions. If you kill me, how will you explain it to Father and Mother!"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at the Crown Prince. "If we really have to give an explanation, then my grandfather and grandmother should have given me one nineteen years ago. Who gave me an explanation?"
Upon hearing this, the prince felt a ringing in his ears.
Nineteen years ago.
My father and mother knew nineteen years ago that he was the one who killed Qin Ziyi!
Now that they knew, why did they keep it a secret?
No wonder his aunt left for distant lands and never saw him again.
So they already knew.
The Crown Prince laughed maniacally, "Qin Jinzhi, you only have this power today because of the Emperor and Empress's favor. If this favor was just a means to an end and out of guilt, then I am the Emperor and Empress's only bloodline. Tell me, who do you think they would choose? If you kill me, you won't live either!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at the Crown Prince.
"Uncle, how can you be so old and still think like a child about who your elders love more?"
When my grandparents brought me into the palace, it wasn't because you wrote a letter to my grandfather, but because they knew their son was a ruthless person who wouldn't let me go even if I was just an infant.
Sixty percent of the assassinations I carried out in the palace were orchestrated by you. Every time I evaded one, your fear only deepened.
The Crown Prince looked at Qin Jinzhi's eyes, which were almost identical to Qin Ziyi's.
Suddenly, he laughed out loud, "Qin Jinzhi, do you think you've won? Liu Yiyi is looking for the Dragon Blood Vine to make heart-protecting pills for you, isn't she? The stuff made with that Dragon Blood Vine isn't just a simple tonic. If I die, you'll be buried with me!"
Yun Que immediately stepped forward, shouting, "Hand over the antidote!"
The Crown Prince laughed loudly, "Qin Jinzhi, you've been plotting for so long, but you're still going to hell with me!"
Qin Jinzhi took out a porcelain bottle from her waist.
He poured out the pills inside.
"So that's where the poison was put."
Just as the Crown Prince was looking smug, Qin Jinzhi suddenly threw the pill into her mouth.
While eating, he kept saying, "It tastes good."
The smile on the prince's face gradually faded.
Qin Jinzhi burst into laughter at the sight of the Crown Prince.
"Do you really think that Sun Mingru, who has served as the head of the academy for so many years, has no real skills or abilities?"
