His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince had a dazed look on his face.
This was because a spear had landed in his courtyard.
"Reporting to your Highness, the sentries on the roof saw it very clearly. It did indeed fly over from over ten li away."
A group of retainers surrounded His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince as they observed the spear. Pei Ju was bold and stepped forward. After observing it for a while, he said with certainty: "This is the imperial guard's Frightening Qilin Spear."
Li Jiancheng frowned and said: "The Unclothed Emperor … … is the guard responsible for protecting Empress. Why … …"
A smile appeared on Pei Ju's face: "Today, Empress secretly summoned all of the officials into the palace to discuss the changes in the sun. Only your Highness was not invited. This official heard that the crown prince's imperial tutor claimed to be ill and could not come out. Thus, Empress led all of the officials to the Shentse General's manor. On the surface, it was a visit, but in reality, it was a coercion. When Empress left the palace, the Unclothed Emperor would definitely accompany her. Now, a spear fell from the sky.
Li Jiancheng heard this and fell into deep thought. He then excitedly said: "Sun Lang killed Empress!"
A series of violent coughs followed.
The crown prince's aides all had strange expressions on their faces. The strategists exchanged glances. It was over. Sun Lang had only been the crown prince's imperial tutor for a few days, yet he had already influenced His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince to such an extent.
Pei Ju had an awkward expression and pretended not to hear anything. He continued to explain: "Your Highness, please take a look. The spear shaft is burning hot. It was caused by friction at high speed. The sentries did not see it clearly either. This means that the spear was thrown from a great distance and accurately landed in the courtyard. There are not many people in the capital who have this sort of ability, and there is only one person in the world who would use this sort of method … …"
He flicked the shaft of the spear and heard a sound in the air. A smile appeared on his face. Not long after, he pulled out a piece of cloth and said with a smile: "As expected."
He then handed the cloth to His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince.
Li Jiancheng hurriedly opened it and took a closer look. There was a row of big words written on it.
"Come here, I've settled your mother."
I got your mom.
Take care of your mom.
It was done.
Here we go.
His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince's body trembled, and a scene immediately appeared in his mind. The dignified and noble Her Highness Empress's snow-white body was weakly supporting herself against the foot of the bed. Two lines of tears hung from her delicate, elegant, and beautiful face. She was desperately covering her mouth as she let out a suppressed cry. Behind her, the young and strong General Shentse was desperately charging forward with satisfaction and ferocity.
It was done.
Oh my god.
He let out a silent cry in his heart, "Father — — Emperor — —"
After that, he continued reading.
"Remember to bring some gifts to congratulate me."
Motherf * cker, legally speaking, I have to call Her Highness Empress' Mother Empress'!
You've already taken care of her, and I still have to give you a gift?
What kind of game was this?
You're a virgin from Jinling, yet you're asking your cheap son for a red packet?
This concerned the dignity of the imperial family, so he knew what to do. He immediately hid the silk cloth and didn't show it to anyone. He said directly, "We're going to Shinto Province now."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Mister Pei, quickly prepare some gifts."
Wang Gui frowned and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, did something big happen?"
Li Jiancheng nodded solemnly. "Yes, something big happened."
He was silent for a moment, then said, "The Crown Prince's Imperial Preceptor is amazing."
"…"
"…"
After preparing the gifts and packing up, everyone from the Crown Prince's residence hurriedly rushed to Shinto Province. Sun Lang had already mobilized his subordinates to guard the gate. The one on duty was Pan Mei. When he saw the Crown Prince, he smiled and cupped his fists in greeting.
The Crown Prince returned the greeting and asked in a low voice, "How is my mother?"
Pan Mei smiled foolishly. "Don't worry, Crown Prince. Empress is fine. She was just a little shocked and is resting inside."
— — What did she do!?
His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince almost shouted — — It was all Sun Lang's fault for not making things clear. He had been thinking about the wrong things since the beginning, so when he heard Pan Mei's words, his thoughts became even more perverted.
There were also soldiers in the residence to receive them. Along the way, they chose a clever route. First, they passed by the continuous wall of murals. The wall was half-covered. Everyone's martial arts skills were outstanding, and their eyesight was amazing. What entered their eyes was a pair of plump thighs and perky breasts. His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince's heart skipped a beat — — This crazy Sun Lang not only did he do that, but also painted the entire process to humiliate his father?
Was it necessary?
His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince was even more shocked when he saw the messy willow catkin pond and the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince was even more shocked — — Damn it, why was it so intense?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, it was immediately extinguished.
No matter how intense it was, there shouldn't be so much blood.
As if a bucket of snow water fell on his head, the messy thoughts in his mind immediately dissipated. His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince was shocked and immediately thought of the correct answer.
Empress was assassinated!
Pei Ju came forward and said in a low voice, "His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince, it seems like Her Highness was assassinated?"
The Crown Prince nodded slightly.
Pei Ju said again, "It's just a coincidence, could it be …"
His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince didn't say anything this time.
But he already had an idea.
'I've settled your mother.'
If it wasn't that kind of method, then it must be this kind of method.
'Settled' meant that he had roped her to his side.
So, probably …
He took a deep breath and calmed his slightly rapid heartbeat. Sun Lang was indeed very efficient. A few days ago, Her Highness Empress was still looking at him coldly, but today, he had settled it.
If this goes on, His Imperial Father will soon become a loner.
Even Empress …
His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince thought of this and felt a faint sense of wariness in his heart. As the Crown Prince, he was the future Emperor. With this position, the thoughts of an Emperor were born. His Imperial Father was so talented and bold, but he was defeated by Sun Lang. After becoming the Emperor, would he have to live under his shadow and be his puppet for the rest of his life?
Once this thought was born, it spread like wild grass.
But now wasn't the time to think about this.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, they passed through the messy crime scene. Their hearts were full of doubts. In a luxurious guest courtyard, they saw Sun Lang.
"Her Highness is resting inside. His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince can go and take a look."
Sun Lang's tone was relaxed. He looked at everyone's hands and said, "Also, I'm moving to a new house. As a disciple, did you bring a gift?"
His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Of course, this is what a student should do …"
The two of them exchanged glances. Then, His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince bowed and called out, "Mother Empress." After Empress agreed, the Crown Prince entered the room. Soon, the sound of a mother and son crying could be heard.
Facing the curious gazes of Pei Ju and the others, Sun Lang explained, "Today, Her Highness the Empress specially came to visit me, an old soldier. She gave me money and warmth. As for me, I was very touched. Just as I was conversing with Her Highness the Empress, a deranged assassin brazenly attacked. He instantly killed those eunuchs who were loyal to the Empress. If it weren't for my quick reaction, Her Highness would have died under that person's sword …"
"What?
Who is that person? "
"I'm not sure. I don't know. The crime scene is there. You can go and see for yourselves. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I don't dare to believe it …"
After dealing with this group of curious babies, Sun Lang went to another room to rest. He was still paying close attention to the movements in the room next door. It was not only to prevent the mother and son from causing trouble, but also to ensure their safety.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful. After all, it hasn't reached that stage yet. If the Emperor wantonly sent assassins and even wanted to kill His Highness Empress and the Crown Prince in the same room, it means that he's desperate. It hasn't reached that stage yet," Sun Lang said. "But after all, there's nothing wrong with being careful."
There was another person sitting in the room.
"Congratulations, your plan has succeeded again."
Shen Yaohua was sitting opposite Sun Lang. Her expression was calm and her tone was cold. "I really didn't expect that Her Highness Empress would be persuaded by you. She was originally the last person to betray His Majesty."
Sun Lang said lightly, "There's no betrayal. It's just that the price isn't enough."
Shen Yaohua lowered her eyes. "In addition, you've killed a few innocent eunuchs."
"They're not innocent."
Sun Lang's voice didn't have a trace of fluctuation. "The only innocent person in the world died two years ago."
Shen Yaohua was silent. Then, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still asked, "The thing you said about His Majesty and … The Devil, is it true?"
Sun Lang revealed a bright smile. "It's true. Except for the gender, everything else is true. The reason why I feminized The Devil was to take care of Her Highness Empress's self-esteem. You see how considerate I am …"
