Prince Li said with a smile: "I heard that when a pregnant woman is pregnant, the fetus and the mother will compete for nutrients. So I want to know, if the mother is in a desperate situation, will the limited nutrients be absorbed by the mother or stolen by the fetus? "
The Empress' pupils shrank when she heard this. She angrily glared at Prince Li. Her mind was spinning and many curses were on the tip of her tongue, but the Empress desperately held them back.
She couldn't be impulsive. What if she angered this evil thief and caused him to harm the child in her womb on the spot? She didn't have any hope for herself, but she had to do her best for the child. As long as Prince Li didn't immediately kill her, then she and the child still had hope.
Commandery Prince Li enjoyed the Empress's changing expression with interest. Seeing that she didn't beg for mercy in the end, nor did she fly into a rage, but instead silently lowered her eyes, Prince Li couldn't help but sigh.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't think imperial sister-in-law had this kind of personality. I didn't see through you in these years. But to be worthy of being Li Qitian's Empress, your personality naturally isn't bad. "He waved his hand and there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
"Junwang."
"En, do it. Do it cleanly. Don't alarm anyone. "
"Yes!"
The confidant immediately obeyed and led a group of people to bring all the palace servants of the Empress who had been forced to kneel on the ground and gagged, as well as the palace servants who had seen Prince Li come to the Empress' palace. They were all brought to a corner and executed with their mouths covered. Soon, a well was filled.
As for the Empress, all the food and water in the hall were taken out and thrown out. The Empress was pushed into the hall and then all the doors and windows were firmly sealed.
Prince Li stood outside the door with his hands behind his back. The sky was completely dark and the stars illuminated the scene in front of him. His confidants and guards were neatly nailing wooden boards to the doors and windows. There were many people and their hands were fast. In a short while, the room where the Empress was imprisoned was turned into a cage that outsiders could see inside, but the pregnant woman couldn't come out.
Prince Li moved closer to the window and looked at the silent Empress sitting on the warm kang by the window. "I really admire you for being so calm. I want to see how long you can remain calm. But you are much stronger than that old woman. The Empress Dowager was scared witless in the blink of an eye and knelt down to beg for mercy. "
The Empress almost blurted out a curse. But she told herself again and again that she couldn't be impulsive. She had to think about her child. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she had to seize the opportunity.
Therefore, the Empress still didn't provoke Prince Li. She just lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.
Prince Li laughs out loud, "Good, not bad, I like a calm woman like you. Forget it, just stay here. "
Turning around, he ordered his trusted subordinates, as well as his trusted aides who had infiltrated the Jinwu Guards and imperial bodyguards, "A Tatan spy has infiltrated the palace. You must protect the Empress Dowager and the Empress well. This King still has to go to the imperial study to read memorials. If you have any news, remember to inform This King."
"Yes. Wang Ye. "
Everyone responded in unison.
Prince Li glanced at the clear night sky, then walked quickly to the imperial study in high spirits.
After tonight, there would be no more Li Qitian, no more Pang Xiao.
Your Majesty and Prince Zhongshun? Weren't they trapped in the underground palace and buried alive?
If he was alive, he wanted to see him. If he was dead, he wanted to see his corpse. If it's easy, then I'll continue to excavate the underground palace.
As for those people in the Wangfu? Perhaps Prince Zhongshun's wife and Prince Zhongshun were deeply in love. In order to die for love, they set a fire and accidentally burned everyone in the Wangfu to death.
Don't believe it? Then perhaps it was the Tatan's doing. In any case, Prince Zhongshun's wife was the main culprit who killed A Nari Khan. It wasn't impossible for them to come to seek revenge.
Commandery Prince Li had calculated everything and felt that his arrangement was flawless. He went to the imperial study proudly to wait for the news.
At this time, the Wangfu had indeed fallen into a sea of fire.
On a mountain not far from the Wangfu.
Qin Yining was sitting cross-legged. He had already wrapped himself in a large fur cloak. There was a lot of dirt on his hair and body, but he was particularly spirited and didn't look out of place.
Qin Yining looked at the Wangfu in front of him, which was on fire. He asked with some worry, "There won't be any casualties among the people you arranged, right?"
Liao Zhibing's face was covered in dirt. The trusted subordinates of the Green Sky Alliance beside him were also covered in dirt.
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Liao Zhibing said, "Alliance Master, don't worry. Our brothers may have made mistakes in other things, but this isn't a difficult matter. There are enough corpses left in the Wangfu. The tunnel is also hidden. Our brothers are all good at escaping, so we'll find an opportunity to withdraw."
Qin Yining was relieved. "It's good that there won't be any casualties. Our brothers are all born and raised by their parents. There's no need for us to lose our lives for these things. "
They looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Liao Zhibing smiled and said, "Alliance Master, the night wind is cold. Why don't you go back first, so you don't get cold sitting here for too long."
"There's no rush. Let's take a look. The view here is very good. We can see the whole situation. If there's any change, we can remedy it. "
Liao Zhibing naturally knew that Qin Yining was right. He was only worried that Qin Yining's body wouldn't be able to take it. He lowered his head and glanced at her belly. It looked like she was about to give birth. If it happened on this mountain, who would be able to deliver the baby with a group of men and only two little girls?
Liao Zhibing thought a lot, but he also thought the same thing when he saw Qin Yining's body.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun were both wrapped in thick fur collars. Their faces were also like little kittens. They huddled close to Qin Yining to help keep her warm.
Compared to outsiders, Bing Tang understood Qin Yining's body better. If there were no accidents, the two little rascals would have to stay in the princess consort's belly for another month. With so many people protecting them and not letting the princess consort tire, there wouldn't be any problems.
Qin Yining didn't know what was going on in the minds of the people beside him. Qin Yining looked at the fire at the foot of the mountain. The three entrances and the garden of the prince's fu were all engulfed in a sea of fire. The surrounding commoners were shouting loudly and sounding gongs as they rushed to put out the fire. In the end, Qin Yining felt that it was a pity.
Such a good home was gone just like that.
Perhaps this was the first residence she lived in after getting married, so she had a lot of feelings for it?
Although Jing was large, news traveled quickly. The weather was dry, and the Wang Fu occupied a large area. After the fire, half the sky of the capital was red. The neighbors nearby all hurriedly evacuated their people. They watched as the people of the Warden's Office and the Water Dragon Bureau frantically tried to put out the fire, but to no avail. They could only watch as the fire grew more and more intense.
The late autumn night wind in the north was cold, but the people around the prince's fu only felt their faces burning hot from the fire. The cold sweat on their bodies was then cooled by the cold wind.
"What should we do? What's wrong with the court? So many things have happened in Jing recently! "
"Prince Zhongshun is a great contributor! Are all the family members of the Prince Yu's Mansion trapped inside? "
"I haven't seen anyone escape! I heard that the princess consort is still pregnant! "
… …
The surrounding people all sighed.
Wang Ye's family, who had so many military achievements, was too pitiful!
Although the imperial family didn't spread the news that Your Majesty was buried in the underground palace, it couldn't be stopped from spreading it outside. Who in the capital didn't know that Your Majesty was digging for some treasure? When he went to the underground palace to dig, the heavens punished him and the palace exploded.
It collapsed, and even many of the court's ministers were buried. Recently, almost all of the high-ranking officials in the capital had a funeral.
Prince Zhongshun was one of them. Not to mention that he was buried in the underground palace and couldn't be rescued, even his prince's fu was burned down.
Could it be that it was because this prince had killed too many people during his campaigns?
The sound of discussion couldn't hide the crackling of wood.
While people were putting out the fire and hiding from the disaster, a man quietly withdrew from the crowd. At this time, it was chaotic. How could they notice him when they were sleeping?
In the imperial study, Prince Li was pacing back and forth.
The polished marble floor made a clear sound when the soles of Commandery Prince Li's boots bumped against the polished marble floor. The sound of "tap, tap" was annoying.
Looking at the sky, it was already the third watch. Why hadn't there been any good news from outside the palace?
Just as Prince Li was anxiously waiting, the sound of footsteps came from outside, followed by a lowered male voice.
"Royal Prince."
"Come in!" Prince Li anxiously ordered.
That person accepted the order and came in. He knelt on one knee and saluted, saying, "Wang Ye, it's done."
Prince Li tightly clenched his sleeves, "Speak clearly!"
"Yes. Our people first tampered with the well water in the prince's fu and then killed their way in. There were only a few people who could resist. The rest were knocked unconscious and blocked in the room with a fire. Later … "
"Who asked you that!" Prince Li leaned forward and anxiously asked in a low voice, "I asked you, did that person get it?"
"Replying to the Royal Prince, he was already killed."
"Killed?"
"Yes!"
Prince Li slowly straightened his body. The smile on his face seemed to move in slow motion, slowly climbing to the corners of his eyes.
"Good, good, very good!" Prince Li took a few steps back and slumped into his chair. He only felt that his nerves, which had been stretched taut all day, suddenly relaxed. Only then did he realize that he was already drenched in sweat.
Li Qitian was dead?
Li Qitian, that self-proclaimed smart and arrogant guy, actually died like this?
Prince Li's heart was incomparably carefree, and he laughed loudly. In the spacious imperial study, his laughter echoed like the sound of a bell.
The subordinate half-knelt on the ground. Seeing Prince Li laugh, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
After a moment, Prince Li's laughter seemed to have been strangled by someone, and it came to an abrupt stop.
When the subordinate saw this, he immediately became nervous, "Wang Ye?"
"That won't do. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse. " Prince Li stood up, saying, "Li Qitian is sinister and cunning. This King will only be at ease after confirming that he's truly dead. Make preparations, This King wants to leave the palace. "
"Wang Ye, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. The palace gates are currently closed."
"With such a big incident happening in the capital, This King is concerned about the court officials. It's normal for him to be concerned about the fire in Prince Zhongshun's fu. Why can't he go? Stop being so long-winded and quickly go make preparations! "
