Chapter 21 The prince is greedy and murderous
The annual "national relations" time has come. According to the old example, it was the turn of the third prince to send a trip to Da Liguo, but the prince took over this "heavy task" on the grounds that the third prince was frightened some time ago. Naturally, Cheng Zun was 100 promises. Originally, he was not enthusiastic about dealing with Da Liguo, and the prince of Da Liguo also named hope. The prince of Dacheng went to discuss how to govern the country in the future.
"Your Highness, some time ago, the emperor rewarded Cheng Jun with many tributes and property. It seems that the emperor still likes the third prince. Winter is coming soon. I don't know if the emperor can get through the cold winter, and his asthma attack is even worse. I think it's better for us to get rid of the third prince Cheng Zun first. General Li's words are right in Chengsha's mind.
"I'm going out. Let's discuss it when I come back. I also hope that the general will take care of the incident at home. There is no one in the princess's family, and she has no talent for governance and has been ill for many years. I should have handed over all the affairs to Rong'er, but unfortunately, Rong'er is still young, and I hope the general will take more care of him.
After Li Xiangrong married into the prince's mansion, Cheng Sha found that she was not as virtuous and capable as he thought and had no enthusiasm for him. He was dissatisfied, but due to General Li's face and "military strength", he did not express any great dissatisfaction.
"It's all because slaves are not disciplined, because I have few children and I spoiled them more, and because her mother died early, and many places of Rong'er has not done well enough, I will definitely urge her more in the future." General Li has obviously smelled the prince's dissatisfaction.
The prince nodded.
When he came to Da Liguo, Cheng Sha was a little puzzled. Almost all the streets were weak women, old people and children, and he rarely saw strong young people. There was no leisurely stroller on the streets and alleys. Everyone looked in a hurry, which was completely different from what he saw a few years ago.
The prince of Da Liguo is waiting at the gate, with a kind and humble expression, which is very different from before.
"I once heard that the prince Chengsha has an extraordinary appearance and is good at martial arts, and it is true at first sight today." The young man in red got off the horse and welcomed him with his fists. Cheng Sha was flattered and quickly got off the horse.
The two went to the prince's mansion together. The prince asked him to rest for a while and set up a banquet. The beautiful women, delicious food and wine dazzled the vast sand.
The two princes ate, drank and played like this for a few days. After being full of wine and food, Cheng Sha sighed. The prince of Da Li's face was full of suspicion: "I don't know why the prince sighed? Is it because of the poor hospitality in our country? Please tell us in detail, and we will correct them one by one.
Cyp> Cheng Sha laughed: "There's nothing wrong with it. It's already fine. I sighed because I was afraid that I would not be able to live such a life in the future, and I always remembered nostalgia.
"The prince laughed. Dacheng's territory is wider than us, rich in products and rich in beautiful women. Many of our things are still shipped from you through trade. You will only live a better life than us, and you will not be worse than us." The young man in red deliberately misunderstood the meaning of sand.
"Dacheng is good, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to sit on the throne in the future and enjoy things that others have used or don't use. You don't know my situation. Although I am the prince, the emperor doesn't favor me. His father died and the country fell into the hands of his brothers. I usually make it difficult for him. My situation can be imagined.
The young man in red laughed and said, "It turns out that this is what the prince is worried about. How difficult is it? Just remove the trouble of his confidants."
"To be honest, I almost rushed into the imperial palace to kill him, and many schemes did not work. Now he is married to the largest business family, which is even more powerful. Recently, he asked me to see him, indicating that he would never compete with me for the throne, but depending on his father's intention, he was more of him.
The young man in red clapped his hands, and the servants and the singer dancers retreated. He closed the door and handed Chengsha a glass of wine.
"If the prince can trust me, how about I settle this matter?" The young man in red has a serious and sincere face.
These words woke up a little from Chengsha's wine.
"Are you really willing to help me? How can you help? Cheng Sha thought he was just talking verbally.
"You don't have to worry about this. Naturally, I have a way. What should I do then? I will naturally send someone to give you superstition. If the matter is exposed, I will never say the prince. If there is half a lie and the sky thunders, it will be bloody today.
Cung Sha didn't expect that the prince of the neighboring country would be willing to help him. Naturally, he was extremely happy.
"The man is one word, and it is difficult to chase, and there is no need to be an alliance with blood." After saying that, the two took a high-five.
On the fifth day, the prince quickly returned to Dacheng Kingdom and was still at the gate. He received the news of the violent death of the princess. He opened his mouth and did not want to believe this fact. Although the princess was not strong, she would not die so young. He felt so unreal that he told himself that he had heard it wrong.
When he returned to the prince's mansion, he really experienced that the crown princess had really passed away. Seeing the princess lying safely in the coffin, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"It's all the slave's fault. The slave was not strict, and the slave did not do a good job. That day, the princess somehow wandered in the yard and accidentally fell into the ancient well." General Li knelt down and his eyes were as red as rabbits.
Cung Sha helped him up.
"She has a life and death. Since she came to the prince's mansion, she has been in poor health. The young and old in the family have died and disappeared for no reason. This is all fate. No wonder others." Cheng Sha said in a hoarse voice that all the goodies of the princess in the past came to her.
Li Xiangrong next to him saw all this. In the past, Chengsha was very indifferent to the crown princess. She didn't expect that the death of the crown princess could make him cry. For a moment, there was a trace of guilt in my heart.
The prince didn't know that he left the prince's house, and General Li and his daughter began to plan how to take this opportunity to remove the princess.
Although the crown princess is weak and kind, and she is like a sister to Li Xiangrong, after all, her status is there and will always be superior to Li Xiangrong, which cannot but cause the hatred of Li Xiangrong and General Li.
The father and daughter discussed for a long time and finally decided to drug her pastry. The poor princess was so young that she ate a piece of yam cake before taking a nap and never got up again. Lixiangrong did not allow his servants to go in on the grounds that the crown princess was tired. That night, when it rained heavily, General Li threw the princess into the ancient well. The next day, the servant found it and picked up the body. General Li bought all the relationships, and the crown princess was identified as falling into the well and died.
"Prince, please be sorry. Your body is important." General Li helped Chengsha into the house and motioned Li Xiangrong to come and take care of him. Lixiangrong was already guilty, and at this time, he worked harder to please Chengsha.
That evening, General Li had a long talk with Li Xiangrong.
"Rong Er, I have done all the good and bad things for you, and the rest is up to you. Originally, I didn't want to poison the princess, but I'm afraid that she will make things difficult for you in the future. Dad is all for you. General Li said earnestly.
"Now you say it's for me? It's for yourself." Li Xiangrong knew that his father was bent on Li Jiaguang and Yaozu. If she blocked his way, even she might be killed.
"Why are you so ignorant? Well, let's not talk about it. Since we have reached this point, it's useless to say anything. We have to move forward. In the future, you should treat the prince well and make him think that you are the best woman. Naturally, the position of the crown princess will be yours. And don't be lazy and be diligent, so that people have nowhere to be picky. Otherwise, if the prince falls in love with other women in the future, you will regret it. If you become a princess, you will be the queen respected by thousands of people in the future.
Hearing this, Li Xiangrong smiled. She did want to be the queen, but not the queen of Chengsha, but the queen of Chengzun. Unfortunately, Cheng Zun doesn't like her, and she will never have any hope. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth at Ji Liunian: I want to be a queen, a queen, angry with you, angry with you...
When General Li saw that his daughter had understood his meaning, he quietly left. When I came to the corridor, a cold wind blew, which made people feel creepy. Thinking that the princess had not been buried and her scalp was numb, she quickly ran back to her room. After decades of fighting, there have been countless grievances under the knife, and he has never been timid on the battlefield, but now he is extremely afraid because the crown princess died too miserably.
