Chapter 113 Brother and sister turn against each other
The night enveloped the entire palace thickly. The Lihuo Palace, which used to be lively and noisy in the past, was now nothing but dead silence, and the tranquility was so disturbing.
In the past, the nights in Lihuo Palace were always brightly lit. The late king was locked in a dark cellar when he was a child, so he developed a fear of the dark.
Even at such an old age, he could not see the darkness, and ordered the Lihuo Palace to be filled with candles every night.
Later, it was said that because of the waste of lamp oil, Lihuo Palace purchased a lot of luminous pearls and decorated them in the palace. It was bright at night without lighting the lamps.
It's just that so many luminous pearls have been peeled off, and today's Lihuo Palace is still pitch black, and no other ones can be seen at all.
Jiang Huan put on a pair of night clothes and moved expertly through the Lihuo Palace, almost avoiding all lines of defense without using lights to illuminate it.
She went all the way south and found the seat in the main hall.
This is the king's palace. The eldest brother has never married, so the side palace is still vacant. He has never moved into the main palace and is only used to store coffins. He still lives in his own palace.
The guards in the main hall were tighter than during the day. They were all soldiers wearing Chen armor, holding spears and standing around the main hall, surrounding the coffin of the late king.
Jiang Huan glanced at the roof, then climbed up to the roof nimbly, took out a cigarette bomb, and threw it straight on top of the coffin.
The moment the smoke bomb exploded, the nearby soldiers came out towards the coffin. Even though they covered their mouths and noses, Jiang Huan's poisonous smoke still penetrated into their bodies through their ears and eyes, instantly putting them away.
fall.
Jiang Huan immediately jumped to the main entrance and opened the coffin to conduct an autopsy on the late king.
But before she pushed the coffin away with her hands, she heard a roar from behind her, "What are you doing!"
Before Jiang Huan even reacted, he saw Jiang Zixu walking behind him angrily.
He suddenly grabbed Jiang Huan's wrist. The force was so strong that it hurt. Jiang Huan's expression trembled slightly, and she felt that her wrist seemed to be broken.
"I told you not to come near this place and not to disturb father's peace anymore!" Jiang Zixu said angrily.
Because of his anger, his handsome face looked a little distorted. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his slender phoenix eyes were a little red.
Jiang Zixu was harsh to himself before, but he would not be like this now.
Jiang Huan looked at him so strangely that he couldn't see the feeling of Jiang Zixu in his eyes.
The man standing in front of him now, apart from having the same appearance as the elder brother he was familiar with, was not the Jiang Zixu he knew at all.
"Are you a spy sent by Chen Guo? Did you talk about my eldest brother and my father, and then pretended to be my eldest brother?" Jiang Huan said and stepped forward to reach out, wanting to see if there was a mask on this person's face.
Wearing a human skin mask, "Let me tear off your human skin mask and see if you are my eldest brother!"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Zixu slammed Jiang Huan's hand away, and because the force was too strong, he threw Jiang Huan's thin body away.
She couldn't keep her footing and hit the coffin hard. The pain made her whole body feel like it was falling apart.
Jiang Huan held her arms in pain and stood up. When she looked at Jiang Zixu again, there was only endless anger and disgust in her eyes.
She had always thought that the royal family of Jiang State would not engage in intrigues and intrigues like the royal family of Chen State. This was Jiang Huan's pure land and the last place she could rely on.
Only now, all this has changed.
In the previous life, I never lived to see the future, but in this life, the future would be better off dead.
"If you come to the main hall next time and bump into the late king's coffin, don't blame Gu Xin Cruel." Jiang Zixu said coldly, "You were spoiled, and your bad temper when you were a child will not change even if you are about to get married.
It fell. In that case, I will discipline and discipline you properly for your future husband! Someone—"
I saw many guards with swords waiting outside the door rushing in, surrounding Jiang Huan, and she was unable to escape.
This is not a good sign.
Jiang Huan took a step back in embarrassment, but Jiang Zixu's eyes seemed to be glued to her, and he chased her so closely, as if he was trying to force her into a dead end.
"The fifth princess collided with the late king's coffin and was placed under house arrest in the Xingyue Palace. She has no intention of being alone and is not allowed to go out."
-Xingyue Palace
Xingyue Palace is still the same as the day Jiang Huan left.
Everything Jiang Huan loved most was neatly placed, without dust. Even the mattress was neatly laid out, and it was impossible to tell that Jiang Huan had been gone for a month.
It seemed like her trip to Chen Country was just yesterday.
Jiang Huan touched the little golden rabbit on the dressing table with some nostalgia. This golden rabbit was given to Jiang Huan by his father. That year Jiang Huan had just come down from Kunlun Mountain and Salo had just died of illness. She was depressed all day long.
My father found this lifelike little rabbit.
Although it is made of gold, it looks as transparent and clear as jade, and the color also appears colorful under the change of light, which is very beautiful.
Back then, the late king spent seven months searching for the last forging master in the world to make this little rabbit.
But now, there is only one thought left in Jiang Huan's heart.
She blew on the little rabbit gently, and the moonlight outside the window illuminated the little rabbit, shining brightly.
It seems that looking at this rabbit, his father will return to him, and everything he has experienced will return to the original appearance.
if.....
If only I had never met Chen Du and experienced all this that day.
Jiang Huan smiled mockingly and couldn't help but shake his head.
I have already experienced it all over again, and this time, I can never let it go again.
How could there be a second person in this world who could seize another opportunity like myself?
Jiang Huan held the little rabbit and looked up at the moonlight outside the window again. The anger and impatience in her heart had already subsided a lot.
The death of his father has become a foregone conclusion. No matter how many times he tries, even if he proves that his father did not die of illness but that there was something inside, he will never be able to do anything meaningful under Jiang Guo's current royal rule.
Behavior.
Now that the Yue Chong City cavalry army has been expelled, what he should do is to return to the Chen Kingdom and support Chen Ruyi in his rise to power.
Then......
Jiang Huan put the little rabbit into her sleeve and quickly pulled up the bead curtain, blocking most of the moonlight.
