Chapter 231 The assassination of the prince

The servant replied as if he had been pardoned: "The prince was assassinated!"

Mu Tangxi paused holding the chopsticks and looked over with surprise.

Ji Qichen was also shocked by this incident. How could someone dare to assassinate the prince?

Who is so bold?

"say clearly."

Ji Qichen glanced at the servant.

The servant's eyes were a little vague: "Yes, when the prince was leaving the palace, a group of masked men suddenly rushed over, and they rode horses from nowhere and rushed towards the prince's carriage!"

Mu Tangxi looked a little strange, rushing towards the carriage?

Why does this scene give her a sense of familiarity?

"Then, the guards protecting the prince drew their swords and started fighting with the group of people. But they didn't expect that the group of people were not afraid of swords at all. The masked man in the front row directly stepped forward and used his body to restrain the guards' swords."

Ji Qichen was a little confused. What did it mean to use his body to restrain the guard's sword?

Wait! This shouldn't be what he thought, right?

When did someone appear in the capital who dared to attack the prince right under the emperor's feet? !

He didn't even dare to let Tangxi stay in the capital alone!

Mu Tangxi thought that this group of people were not afraid of death and looked like death warriors.

Ah, what a coincidence, it seems that the eldest brother also has a group of death warriors!

What’s even more coincidental is that when the carriage accident happened, the real culprit behind it was the prince!

So many coincidences put together are no longer coincidences.

The servant probably sensed the Third Prince's confusion and explained, "The masked men in the front row used their bodies to restrain the guards' knives, which meant that the guards' knives stabbed into their bodies, and then they held on to the handles tightly."

"In this way, the guards could not use their weapons and were trampled to death by the masked men riding horses behind them."

"The prince's carriage was also trampled back and forth by those men's horses, and then those masked men killed both the horses and themselves before the soldiers arrived."

"The scene was like hell, with corpses all over the ground and blood flowing everywhere, dyeing the street red."

The servant became more and more frightened as he spoke, and his voice began to tremble.

Mu Tangxi's thoughts were stuck. So the horse's body was also there? No wonder there was so much blood!

Ji Qichen listened for such a long time, but his main attention was still on Tangxi. Once Tangxi showed a look of fear, he would take the servant away.

But Tangxi was not afraid.

After the servant finished speaking, Ji Qichen said, "I understand, you can go down."

The servant paused and looked up at the Third Prince in disbelief.

That's it? !

That was the prince being assassinated!

Can't the Third Prince give some reaction? !

At this moment, the servant suddenly felt a strong desire to complain.

Even if you can't show a sad expression, at least you should show some happiness, right?

How come the Third Prince had no expression at all, just simply said "I know", and then... that was it?

And don't think he didn't notice just now!

The Third Prince's attention was on the Third Prince's wife the entire time!

No matter what he talked about, the third prince always had expressions of "ah", "oh" and "hmm"!

He had never seen such a strange person!

Don’t think he didn’t see it. The Third Prince just smiled at the Third Prince’s wife!

The servant swallowed and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, don't you want to ask how His Highness the Crown Prince is doing?"

The Third Prince glanced at him in confusion and said casually, "Oh, then tell me what happened to my eldest brother."

Mu Tangxi was amused by Ji Qichen, and when Ji Qichen saw Tangxi laughing, he also started to smile foolishly.

Then, the two of them looked at each other's faces and smiled for a while.

Boy:......

I'm still here!

Please don't pretend I don't exist, okay?!

The servant suddenly felt tired. He didn't know what the Second Prince was thinking. He felt that the Third Prince would be a threat to him.

is it possible?

Just this bit of not caring about the big things...

The servant felt that it might be difficult to make the Third Prince a threat to the Second Prince.

But it’s also good that the third prince is greedy for beauty.

It won't hinder the Second Prince's way.

In order to quickly end the topic, the servant spoke faster, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also trampled by the horses. Although there were two servants protecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the front and back, he was still seriously injured and is now lying unconscious on the bed."

Ji Qichen said "hmm" perfunctorily to get rid of the servant.

Boy:......

"Your Highness the Third Prince, how about you go and visit His Highness the Crown Prince?"

If the third prince doesn't go, how can the next plan succeed?

Or should we just tell His Royal Highness the Second Prince that the Third Prince is obsessed with beautiful women?

I believe His Royal Highness the Second Prince will understand, right?

After all, His Majesty the Emperor also...

Ji Qichen was a little impatient. His elder brother was assassinated, and he was very busy now!

Can't you tell he's busy cultivating his relationship with his new wife?!

Mu Tangxi looked at Ji Qichen, then at the servant whose face showed a speechless expression, and just thought it was very funny.

"Qi Chen, shall we go visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The servant only thought that the third prince was abnormal, but fortunately the third prince’s wife was a normal person!

He ignored the curiosity in Mu Tangxi's eyes.

Ji Qichen was stunned for a moment when he met Tangxi's eyes, then decisively agreed to visit the prince.

Watching the fun is what he is best at!

The servant's face was filled with joy; he had finally gotten the Third Prince's consent!

It's not easy for him!

As a result, the next second, the servant fell into an icy cave.

"Come here, drag this boy away for interrogation. Don't let him die."

Ji Qichen said something lightly and pulled Tangxi to change clothes.

I wore this dress when I first entered the palace, and now is a good time to change into another one.

Actually, Ji Qichen really wanted to wear moon-white clothes with Tang Xi. This was the first time he saw Tang Xi wearing such clothes in the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

It’s a pity that this color can be easily misunderstood, so let it go.

And because the prince was injured, he couldn't wear clothes with bright colors.

So in the end, Ji Qichen’s choice is... to see what color Tangxi is wearing.

Mu Tangxi glanced at Ji Qichen, who was following Dong Zhu and peeking at the color of clothes, and sighed.

The last two were wearing ice-blue clothes, with the breeze blowing their hems, just like the snow gradually melting on the mountains, a light and clear blue.

However, Mu Tangxi took off several hairpins on her head, leaving only a simple jade hairpin.

Ji Qichen also replaced the pearl crown on his head with a simple jade crown.

When the two arrived at the East Palace, the emperor, empress and the second prince had already arrived.

They looked into the house with worried faces and waited.

After they arrived, they all turned around and looked at Ji Qichen.

Ji Qichen:?

Just take a look, why are they still staring at him?

Did they notice that he and Tangxi were wearing the same color clothes?

What a discerning person!

Mu Tangxi sensed something was wrong and tugged at Ji Qichen's sleeve.
