After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

Chapter 187 The carriage from Prince Rong's Mansion blocked the road

Wu Lin, who had been waiting outside for orders, immediately entered the hall and said, "Here."

"The Second Princess has a domineering personality and lacks moral integrity. The Princess's Mansion is now temporarily sealed off and she is being handed over to the Queen to learn the rules. She can return when she learns to respect others."

Fu Yongxu suddenly looked up, "Father, my daughter is already married, and you're actually going to take back my princess's mansion for this woman?"

Fu Yuanhuai looked at her deeply and said, "I have spoiled you too much these years, and I have spoiled you to the point of lawlessness. These days, you should reflect on your mistakes with your mother."

Fu Yongxu was not the queen's daughter.

Moreover, his biological mother, Concubine Rou, has always had a bad relationship with the Queen.

When Concubine Rou died in ignominious circumstances, Fu Yongxu had suspected the Queen.

Unfortunately, she later told Fu Yuanhuai about her suspicions, but Fu Yuanhuai just laughed it off.

He even changed the subject and found a random favor to let her leave the palace and build a new residence.

This is how the Princess's Mansion came into being.

Later, Fu Yongxu herself thought about it and believed that her father was willing to be so "generous" at the time, most likely because he was afraid of the Queen's mother's family, and it was very likely that he had to rely on the Queen's mother's family.

So, there can't be any mistakes along the way...

The whole of Kyoto thought that Fu Yuanhuai had no limits in doting on his daughter, but in fact only she knew the truth.

All the graces were owed to her by her father, and the purpose was to make her stop investigating the cause of her mother's death.

And she shamefully exchanged her mother's life for several years of lawless wealth and glory.

Time passes.

The cause of my mother's death has been forgotten by most people.

So he could unscrupulously hand her back to the Queen when she made a mistake, and let the Queen torture her...

Fu Yongxu was suddenly filled with anger.

"Father, I will not stay in the palace."

If it really falls into the hands of the Queen, old grudges will be added to new ones.

Even if her father didn't do it himself, she would have no chance of survival.

It’s better to find a way to save your life now.

She thought beautifully.

But he ignored Fu Yuanhuai's actual thoughts at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I am not kidding. I cannot take back what I have said."

"But, Father..."

Fu Yuanhuai interrupted her, "Okay, I know what you want to say. If you have anything to say, tell your mother in detail."

After he finished speaking, Wu Lin came forward with a few guards and respectfully wanted to ask Fu Yongxu to leave, but Fu Yongxu dodged them.

"Father, I do not wish to remain in the palace."

Anger continued to burn in her heart, and Fu Yongxu was in torment.

Her eyes were red, and she asked aggrievedly, "Why can any woman you like be taken into the harem, but I, your child, cannot? This is unfair."

Everyone knows these words.

But if Fu Yongxu said it in front of everyone, it would basically be the same as slapping Fu Yuanhuai in the face in public.

Fu Yuanhuai immediately became angry and said, "How dare you! Who allowed you to say such nonsense?"

"Even if you take my daughter away in the name of protecting Beichen, I will tell you the truth. Father, you are a complete hypocrite. You want to take away my only chance of survival."

Fu Yongxu's voice was sharp and thin, rushing into everyone's eardrums domineeringly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Muxi and Murong Jingyan standing aside, indifferent to the matter. She pointed back and said, "If you just want your daughter to correct her mistakes, just let me into the palace and say a few words to me. There is nothing I won't listen to."

"But you didn't. Not only that, you even brought in 'outsiders' to watch this incident. Your sole purpose was to get the Hundred Years of Longevity Pill in my hand.

A cowardly and cowardly ruler is still pretending to be righteous and sacrificing his relatives. It is really disgusting."

As soon as she said this, not only Fu Yongxu herself was stunned.

Even everyone present looked at her in disbelief.

Fu Yuanhuai's face, which was originally a little ugly, turned ashen in an instant.

In an instant, the Yangxin Palace was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Father, your son... every word you say is from the heart... No, that's not right, your son..."

Fu Yongxu's eyes were filled with horror.

"These are not my sincere words..."

Fu Yuanhuai's patience was completely exhausted. "You dare to be so rebellious even if you are not telling the truth. If you are telling the truth, I don't know what you will think of me. With your lawless heart and courage, I give you a chance, and you don't know what kind of trouble you will cause."

"Come here, drag this rebellious girl away for me."

Fu Yongxu was originally very flustered, but when she turned around, she saw the coldness in Shen Muxi's eyes.

She finally realized it, "Father, this is a trap. I know it's Shen Muxi. Shen Muxi set it up to turn me against you."

"Father, you must understand clearly that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. You must not be taken advantage of by those who have ulterior motives."

She tried hard to change the outrageous words that were on the tip of her tongue.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat.

There is no trace of arrogance and domineering behavior of riding a horse and waving a whip.

"Princess, please be careful with your words," Shen Muxi couldn't help but speak, "I gave you the Hundred Years of Longevity Pill back then. In your eyes, isn't this enough to prove my sincerity?"

"Hundred-year life-extending pill?"

Murong Jingyan obviously didn't know what Shen Muxi had done. He looked at her in shock and said, "That was the life-saving medicine the miracle doctor gave you. How could you just give it away like that?"

Shen Muxi shook his head. "Nothing is more important than your health and the friendship between Nanyuan and Beichen."

Murong Jingyan looked at Fu Yuanhuai with a pained expression, "Your Majesty, that Hundred Years of Longevity Pill is worthy of being used as the national treasure of Nanyuan. Now that we have given the Pill away, I wonder..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but it was obvious that he wanted to recover the value of the longevity pill from other places.

"Father."

Fu Yongxu reacted the most, fearing that Fu Yuanhuai would suddenly agree to some conditions.

She has already taken half of the longevity pill today.

If you make any demands now, what's the difference between that and putting your neck in someone else's hands and letting them strangle you?

Fu Yuanhuai didn't expect Murong Jingyan to bring up such an inappropriate thing at this time.

"Xiao Jing just woke up, so he definitely needs to rest and recuperate first. As for other matters, we can discuss them another day."

Murong Jingyan had never expected to get anything from Fu Yuanhuai today.

In fact, as long as he could stay awake and enter the palace today, he was destined to win this test.

As for the rest...

During the brief negotiation between Fu Yuanhuai and Murong Jingyan, Wu Lin was not idle either.

Several people stepped forward and worked together to "ask" Fu Yongxu to leave.

"No, I'm not going to the Queen."

During the struggle, a dagger fell from her sleeve.

The sound of the metal knife tip hitting the marble floor was particularly harsh in the quiet Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Everyone's breathing was slightly hitched.

Including Fu Yongxu.

She was shocked and shook her head repeatedly.

"Father, this is not my dagger. I was wrongly accused."

First there were some rebellious remarks tonight, and now he's carrying a sharp weapon.

Fu Yuanhuai was very disappointed with Fu Yongxu.

"At this point, what else can you say?"

"I really didn't expect that you would do such a thing at this critical moment."

"Come, throw her into the prison."

Thrown into the sky prison.

That basically means that she has been identified as a suspect in the assassination.

Fu Yongxu's body was only holding on after taking half a longevity pill.

Now, she was so angry that the familiar heartache appeared again, and she actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

A hint of concern flashed in Fu Yuanhuai's eyes, and he was about to step forward.

I took a step and saw Murong Jingyan and Shen Muxi were still there.

He quickly retracted his steps and waved his sleeves at Wu Lin.

"Take it down."

He didn't say where to take it.

There was no mention of continuing to seal off the princess's mansion.

Wu Lin naturally decided to take the person back to the princess's mansion.

Along the way, Fu Yongxu kept yelling and cursing.

Wu Lin said indifferently, "If I were Your Highness, I would definitely not make random accusations at a time like this and waste my time."

"Have I given you permission to speak?" Fu Yongxu shouted angrily, "You good-for-nothings! The envoys from other countries are almost sitting on your heads, and you're still here, unable to distinguish between friend and foe."

Wu Lin pursed his lips and stopped talking.

However, his pace increased a lot.

He had no good feelings towards the cruel and domineering princess.

He diverted her attention by saying something just to make things easier for his subordinates.

If the other party doesn't listen, then he will just mind his own business.

After all, no one knows when His Majesty will calm down.

It’s better to stay away from people like the Second Princess.

"I'm talking to you, are you mute?"

Fu Yongxu's shouting and cursing continued to be heard from behind.

Wu Lin turned a deaf ear to everything.

When they were about to pass through the second palace gate.

A eunuch came back in a hurry.

He whispered a few words in Wu Lin's ear.

Wu Lin looked at the eunuch who delivered the message in disbelief.

"Is this really what Your Majesty intended?"

The eunuch was embarrassed. "We are just giving you a reminder. All I can say is that the emperor's heart is hard to predict."

Wu Lin nodded, "I understand. Thank you for the message, eunuch."

After parting with the eunuch, Wu Lin asked his guards to change direction.

Fu Yongxu, who was already tired of scolding people, immediately protested when she saw the newcomers, "Isn't this the way back to the Princess's Mansion? Where are you taking me, you wicked slaves?"

Wu Lin said calmly, "Princess, I am only following your orders. I hope you will not make it difficult for me."

After saying that, he stopped being polite and directly signaled the guards to gag Fu Yongxu and tie her hands.

He was escorted all the way to the Dali Temple.

The moment Fu Yongxu saw the plaque on the door of Dali Temple, her eyes widened.

But she couldn't struggle free.

Until they went to a secret prison behind the Dali Temple.

Her usually bright and arrogant eyes were suddenly dispelled by fear.

"Well..."

"Hmm..."

She struggled to break free from the ropes that bound her hands.

However, the rope seemed to have life. The more she struggled, the tighter it became.

In the end, she could only watch Wu Lin communicate with the jailer, and finally she was placed in a dirty and smelly cell.

The cell was completely light-tight.

Not far away, from time to time, one could hear the sound of a sharp blade cutting bones and the sound of a branding iron burning flesh.

The screams continued.

Fu Yongxu could even smell the odor of burnt flesh and the rotting smell of corpses floating in the air.

She shuddered, unable to bear the dual physical and mental stimulation, and flew to the cell and banged hard on the door, "I don't want to stay here, let me out, let me out."

No one paid any attention to her.

...

royal palace.

Ever since Fu Yongxu was taken away, Fu Yuanhuai seemed to be lacking interest.

He casually asked Murong Jingyan a few questions, and after Murong Jingyan answered, he sent him away.

The two of them kept silent all the way.

It was not until they saw He Hong and Xia Chan at the palace gate that they looked at each other and got on the carriage at the same time.

Wait until everything is settled.

"you..."

"you..."

They both spoke at the same time.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

Shen Muxi smiled, "When did you come back?"

Murong Jingyan coughed twice and said, "Tonight."

"On my way back, I happened to encounter a fire in the palace, and I guessed that someone had become suspicious..."

"Luckily you came back in time," Shen Muxi breathed a sigh of relief. "There was a fire in the palace tonight, and I guessed it might be the emperor. I just didn't expect him to call both Gu Shi and Fu Yongxu into the palace."

"From the beginning, his goal was to test Fu Yongxu. He first gave her a piece of candy to punish Gu Shi, and then made his own request to Fu Yongxu. He made many assumptions, but he didn't expect Fu Yongxu to choose the most unlikely one."

"The most unlikely... request?"

Suddenly, he remembered the attitude Fu Yuanhuai showed when the two of them first entered the Yangxin Palace.

Shen Muxi smiled sarcastically, "Your Highness is very charming. I am not surprised at all that he has caught the Second Princess's eye."

This sound.

This smile.

This tone.

Murong Jingyan felt a chill on his back and quickly changed the subject.

"Besides this, isn't entering the palace tonight also a test?"

Test?

Shen Muxi looked at him in confusion, "Hasn't your sobriety already been discovered?"

"No," Murong Jingyan shook his head slightly, "He wants to test King Xian?"

"King Xian..." Shen Muxi gasped for two thousand, "Did he guess the relationship between King Xian and you?"

Murong Jingyan nodded and chuckled, "Unfortunately, King Xian and I have already prepared a response plan. Even if the other party dies, he will not succeed if we don't look at him."

This is why Fu Yuanhuai was disappointed tonight.

King Xian never showed up, and there was no news of any unusual movements from him.

"You and King Xian are really adaptable." Shen Muxi smiled awkwardly, "It's rare for King Xian to cooperate with you so well."

"Even if we cooperate well, our partnership is only temporary."

Murong Jingyan reminded, "No matter what Prince Xian asks you to do or what he asks you, don't pay too much attention to it."

"Why?"

A smile appeared on Murong Jingyan's pale lips. "Guess why I was injured?"

"It's him?"

Murong Jingyan did not continue the topic.

Obviously it has been accepted.

Shen Muxi clenched his fists tightly, "But if you cooperate with such a person, what if..."

That person said he would turn against us...

A hint of coldness flashed across Murong Jingyan's eyes. "Unless he doesn't want Beichen's kingdom, otherwise..."

"otherwise?"

"It's okay. You just need to know that as long as he wants the Beichen Kingdom, he won't touch us at all."

Shen Muxi wanted to ask something, but Murong Jingyan had already closed his eyes.

There was fatigue between his brows.

She swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

The carriage moved forward a short distance again and suddenly stopped.

Shen Muxi lifted the car curtain, "What's wrong?"

He Hong replied, "It seems that the carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion is blocking the road ahead."
