Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Hua Manman asked curiously.

"If they were looking for revenge, they should also be looking for us. How did they find the prince?"

Chen Wangbei first glanced at King Zhao, and saw that King Zhao didn't speak, so he explained truthfully.

"When we set the fire, we did not deliberately conceal our identities.

The bandits only needed a little investigation to find out that it was imperial officers and soldiers who set the fire. "

Hua Manman understood after hearing this.

The group of bandits had just robbed the disaster relief team led by the prince, when their lair was set on fire, and the people who set the fire were officers and soldiers.

Even if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the prince must have sent someone to do it.

Hua Manman continued to ask: "How did the bandits know that the prince is here?"

Li Ji smiled lightly and said in an unclear way.

"His Royal Highness is so pushy. Everywhere he goes, he has to personally appease the people affected by the disaster. It's hard for people not to know where he is."

Hua was speechless.

Perhaps the prince never thought that the one who killed him in the end would be himself.

If he could keep a low profile, maybe he wouldn't have the catastrophe he has today.

Li Ji yawned and said lazily.

"The play is over, we should go back."

They walked down the mountain road and returned to the entrance of the valley.

Bian Ziming was running around in a hurry.

Seeing that King Zhao came back safe and sound, he rushed over as if he had seen a savior, kneeling skillfully, crying in his mouth.

"My lord, fortunately you are safe and sound, otherwise I will really apologize with death!"

"My lord met bandits in the valley just now. Fortunately, with the help of Chen Shiwei, he was able to escape from danger."

Li Ji paused at this point, looked at the carriage surrounded by people not far away, and asked.

"What happened?"

Bian Ziming hastily explained what happened just now.

He is clearly a tall and thick man, but at this moment he is crying with snot and tears, very pitiful.

"Those mountain bandits were really daring. They not only ambushed the prince in the valley, but also brutally killed His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Ji showed surprise on his face: "The prince is dead?"

He walked quickly to the side of the carriage, and through the broken window, he saw the bloody scene inside the carriage.

The prince was lying in a pool of blood and had lost his breath.

Hua Manman also leaned over to take a look.

She clicked her tongue secretly in her heart, she never expected that His Royal Highness the crown prince would die at the hands of bandits in the end.

Such a noble background has come to such a miserable end.

But this is also his retribution.

Who made him think hard about plotting and murdering others on weekdays.

Hua Manman showed sadness on his face, he turned his head, unable to bear to look any further.

Bian Ziming looked at King Zhao helplessly, with a look of complete loss of opinion.

"My lord, what shall we do next?"

Li Ji sighed: "What else? Naturally, such an important matter must be notified to the saint as soon as possible, and those bandits must also be taken back for careful examination."

Bian Ziming stammered.

"But, but those bandits have already been killed by us."

At that time, they only wanted to save people, and they couldn't show mercy to those bandits who only wanted revenge and dared to risk their lives.

Because as long as the bandits are alive, they will fight desperately.

In the end they could only kill everyone.

Li Ji: "It's okay, we caught a few bandits just now, and we can take them back for interrogation."

Bian Ziming was overjoyed when he heard this.

If he can find out the reason why the bandits ambushed the prince, maybe he will be able to pay off the crime.

Bian Ziming was in a hurry to flatter.

"It's still the prince who is very powerful, not only escaped from the ambush of the bandits, but also captured the bandits alive.

Compared with you, Xiaguan is really ashamed! "

Li Ji was too lazy to listen to his flattery, so he ordered.

"Clean up here, and then send some people to clear the road in the valley, we have to continue on our way."

"Here!"

When the boulder was removed, the valley became unobstructed.

The convoy passed through the valley smoothly and continued towards Shangjing.

Hua Manman sits in the carriage, being shaken so that she falls asleep.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered something.

She turned her head to look at King Zhao sitting next to her, and asked the last doubt in her heart.

"How did you know that the bandits would ambush the prince near the valley?"

Judging from King Zhao's reaction at the time, he had already guessed that the prince would be attacked by bandits near the valley.

He can't predict the future.

Unless he had already received news that the bandits would attack near the valley.

Where did he get the news from?

Li Ji glanced at her.

Hua Manman looked very familiar with this look.

Before King Zhao could open his mouth, she said it wisely.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to say it, I understand that these are not things I should know.

The more you know, the faster you die. "

Li Ji pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "It's good that you know."

The news of the prince's death in an attack was rushed back to Shangjing by Babaili.

The ruling and opposition parties were shocked!

The queen couldn't bear the blow and passed out on the spot.

The emperor also suddenly aged several years.

Even though he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Cheng, the crown prince, Li Cheng was his legitimate son after all, and he had high hopes for Li Cheng, but he never expected that Li Cheng would leave early.

The most painful thing in the world is when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person.

The emperor was full of grief and hatred, and ordered people to go to meet the prince's body, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

He has been in a high position for many years and knows that many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

In particular, the life and death of the prince is also related to the succession to the throne.

There must be a lot of tricks hidden in it.

He must investigate this matter clearly so that the prince will not die in vain!

On the eighth day of September, the prince's coffin was sent to Shangjing, and the two prime ministers on the left and right led civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

They knelt in front of the prince's coffin and wept loudly.

Hua Manman followed King Zhao and shed two tears symbolically.

The Prince's Mansion has opened its doors long ago, and the mourning hall in the mansion has also been properly arranged.

The princess and the concubines stood guard at the door.

As soon as they saw the prince's coffin appear, they jumped on it and cried.

They are truly heartbroken.

Because the death of the prince means that their backer is gone, as if the whole world has collapsed, and there is no hope for their future life.

After the crown prince's coffin is settled, King Zhao and Bian Ziming will go to the palace to meet the saint.

Li Ji said to Hua Manman.

"You have been away for so long, you must miss your family very much.

You go back to Zhong'anbo Mansion first to have a look.

When I come out from the palace, I will go to Zhong'anbo Mansion to pick you up. "

Hua Manman looked at him eagerly: "Will the saint implicate you because of the death of the prince?"

Li Ji smiled indifferently.

"At most, it's just a few reprimands, and then go home and face the wall and think for a while, it's no big deal."

...

good morning everyone~

Grab the land with your head, kneel down and beg for a monthly pass! ! !
