Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 53 Who instigated it?

This somewhat outrageous assassination of the third prince was soon brought to light.

The person behind the scenes is the eleventh prince of the royal party!

Seeing that the third prince has become the person with the greatest chance of succeeding, the princes are really anxious.

The inventory deficit caused heavy losses to the eleventh prince, which made him hate the third prince deeply.

Therefore, the eleventh prince took a desperate risk and wanted to assassinate the third prince.

There was a wealthy businessman named Wu Shensong who was a disciple of the Eleventh Prince. This man not only made money for the Eleventh Prince, but also secretly trained many dead soldiers for the Eleventh Prince.

This time Wu Shensong received the order from the Eleventh Prince and mobilized hundreds of dead soldiers to sneak into the western suburbs of Shenjing.

Because the prefecture where Shenjing City is located strictly controls weapons, especially firearms, the hundreds of dead soldiers who sneaked in did not carry weapons. Their weapons were secretly prepared for them by the Eleventh Prince, and there were no firearms.

According to the eleventh prince's plan, the assassination was faked as the third prince was retaliated by his enemies due to a deficit in inventory.

However, the assassination attempt failed.

Someone reported a rebellion. On the morning of the assassination, Tao Quan learned the secret report, and Tao Quan urgently reported it to Emperor Jing'an.

Among the hundreds of dead men, only two leaders knew that the assassination was ordered by the Eleventh Prince and Wu Shensong. The other dead men did not know that the Eleventh Prince and Wu Shensong were the instigators behind the scenes.

Fortunately, one of the leaders was captured alive and confessed under severe torture.

Emperor Jing'an suspected that the incident was not only instigated by the eleventh prince, but also a conspiracy among the princes. At least the fifth prince and the seventh prince knew about the assassination in advance.

However, the Eleventh Prince insisted that this matter had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince. Neither of them knew about it beforehand. The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince also insisted on this.

Emperor Jing'an wanted to kill everyone in Wu Shensong's family, among whom Wu Shensong was Lingchi.

The eleventh prince was temporarily detained.

On the night after the truth was found out, the third prince drank alone in the inner study of Yuanzhao Garden.

Among the many princes of the old father's emperor, the one whom the third prince hated the most was not the fifth prince, the seventh prince, nor his brother the twelfth prince, but the eleventh prince.

In the eyes of the third prince, the eleventh prince was a greedy and profit-seeking person. He was also a person who looked honest on the outside but was cunning on the inside. He was also a person who bribed villains and praised him everywhere.

This time, the eleventh prince actually ordered hundreds of dead soldiers to assassinate the third prince.

The third prince was sincerely happy about the fall of the eleventh prince.

What's more, the third prince knew that based on what the eleventh prince had committed this time, it should mean that the princelings had lost the possibility of being succeeded by their father, unless they rebelled and seized the throne.

……

……

The prince of Emperor Jing'an and the grandson he raised by his side had to go to school before reaching a certain age, and the school schedule was tight.

Usually, I go to the study room at school to read early in the morning. After reading early, I go to class, rest for an hour at noon, and practice martial arts in the afternoon.

Since Yuan Qingbai was raised by Emperor Jing'an, the three years have generally been spent like this.

There were also holidays and special circumstances. For example, Emperor Jing'an asked Yuan Qingbai not to go to school one day.

Since Yuan Qingbai won the first prize in martial arts, Emperor Jing'an ordered him not to go to school as he had already completed his studies, but he still told him to keep studying and practicing martial arts.

In the early morning of that day, Yuan Qingbai woke up from his sleep, reached out and gently pushed Youshi away from his arms, sat up, and heard Youshi's sweet voice in his ears: "Third Master, are you awake?" Youshi said as he spoke. He also sat up. She had already opened her face three days ago and became red that night. Yuan Qingbai also let the body of this life break out. Last night was the third night that the two of them had been in the same room.

Yuan Qingbai turned around and said, "You woke up before me again?"

Youshi said "Yes": "I know that Third Master has to get up early to study, so he wakes up early so that he can serve."

After saying that, she got out of bed, put on her clothes, and lit a lamp. The sky outside the window was still dark and not even bright.

Yuan Qingbai took advantage of the light and looked at Youshi. Youshi became more and more handsome because of her open face. Although she had just fallen asleep and was naked, Yuan Qingbai felt that there was something special and attractive about her.

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "Last night I told you not to get up early this morning and sleep for an extra hour. You are a new wife, so you can't sleep well."

Youshi helped him get dressed and said with a smile: "It's more important to serve the third master. As for me, I can't sleep well at night, but I can still rest during the day."

Youshi added: "Third Master, don't blame me for talking too much. You are already the number one scholar in martial arts. The Holy One doesn't even ask you to go to school. Besides... besides, I am just your roommate."

"Why don't you take a break, why are you still studying and practicing martial arts so diligently?"

Yuan Qingbai stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "Studying and practicing martial arts are not business matters that need to be delayed. If your third master is greedy for pleasure because he has someone in the house, the Holy Father will not be happy when he finds out."

"Once you become greedy for pleasure, you may become rich and idle."

Without waiting for Youshi's response, Yuan Qingbai then asked with a smile but not a smile: "What, is it possible that you are not satisfied enough? Do you still want the Third Master to work more on you?"

Youshi let out a "poof", her blush spread, and her cheeks were slightly ashamed: "I just care about the third master. I don't want the third master to be tired. If his body is compromised because of this..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, feeling that the words were unlucky.

But Yuan Qingbai understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm in good health and I won't get sick easily."

This is not a boast, but a fact. Since time travel, he has only suffered minor injuries due to martial arts practice, and has never had symptoms such as colds or fevers, let alone serious illnesses.

Youshi said "Yeah": "As a person who lives in the third master's room, I actually hope that the third master is a diligent, studious and capable man."

At this time, Lingxue's voice came from outside the window: "Is Third Master up?"

Yuan Qingbai gave Youshi a look, and Youshi smiled knowingly and responded: "The third master is up."

Jindie, Youshi's personal maid, walked in first and helped Youshi get dressed.

Lingxue walked in after a while and brought some hot water for washing.

Just as Lingxue was serving Yuan Qingbai to wash up, a lonely eunuch suddenly ran over.

The eunuch said respectfully to Yuan Qingbai: "Mr. Bai, the Holy One was ill last night and said that he would send you to serve this morning."

Hearing this, Youshi and Jindie sighed in unison. Today's Holy Emperor really loves Mr. Bai Sanye, the grandson of the emperor. He even summons Mr. Bai Sanye to serve him when he is sick.

Lingxue was used to this.

Yuan Qingbai hurriedly asked the eunuch: "What are the symptoms? Is it urgent or not?"

The eunuch said respectfully: "Last night, the imperial doctor took a look at it and said it's nothing serious. It's just that the fever is severe."

Yuan Qingbai nodded, asked Lingxue to fetch ten taels of silver and rewarded the eunuch, then hurriedly left the residence and rushed towards Dansettlement.

　Updates will not be interrupted on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. I wish everyone a happy New Year.
