Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

When encountering an assassination, the first thought in Murong Jiu's mind was whether Jun Yuyan had also been assassinated.

He left all his men behind his father and brother to search for his eldest brother, and one man rode a horse to send her back and then back again. The assassin would not let go of such a good opportunity.

The sound of fighting outside was fierce. Hongyi sealed the windows and doors. From time to time, hidden arrows were released, heavily nailing the outside of the carriage.

I don't know who sent this wave of people. This was a strategy to kill her, not just to capture her.

Is it the second prince or the third prince?

Boo!

The horse suddenly screamed, as if it had been hit by an arrow, and it swung wildly and ran forward.

At this time, the rope of the carriage was deliberately broken by an arrow. Under the huge inertia, the carriage turned around and became uncontrollable!

"Princess! Jump down quickly, there is a moat below!"

Chang Chonghai shouted, and Hongyi immediately kicked the carriage door open and pulled Murong Jiu down to jump down.

But the horse rushed too fast, and in the flash of lightning, Murong Jiu thought that Chuntao was not able to handle water, and if she fell in like this, she would probably die.

Chuntao protects the Lord loyally, is innocent and kind, but she is watery. In an instant, the choice has been made in her heart. She grasps Chuntao's hand, pushes her to Hongyi, and then pushes the two of them away.

There was a loud bang and the carriage fell into the moat!

Murong Jiu's water quality was indeed very good, but no one expected that the moment she fell, her head hit the inner wall of the carriage and she fainted.

Murong Jiu fell into the boundless darkness, as if countless hands were pulling her down.

She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and even her bones were frozen into ice slag.

She opened her eyes and was in the darkness. At this moment, she thought she had reached the underworld, but soon, she felt that her hands and feet were shackles. As soon as she struggled, a voice came from behind.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

At this moment, Murong Jiumao was horrified.

The Fourth Prince... is the voice of the Fourth Prince!

If he hadn't fallen into the moat with the carriage, why would the fourth prince be here?

Could it be that there are people from the fourth prince hiding in the moat?

Are you still in the capital now?Or was it that he had been taken out of the capital overnight?

Wait, isn't the fourth prince in the mountains with his father, brother and the others?Then there was no way he could return to the city so soon. In other words, he was in the suburbs, and he might even be very close to Jun Yuyan and his father and brothers.

Thinking of Jun Yuyan, she immediately thought of the assassination. The assassination she suffered did not look like the work of the fourth prince. Was the fourth prince a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind him?And Jun Yuyan, has he been assassinated?Are there any injuries?

However, she was so cold that she couldn't say a word.

Her whole body was soaked, and the ground was also very wet, which meant that she had just been brought here not long ago. It was so dark here, it must be night, and she could still faintly hear the wind and rain, and the branches of the trees. Swinging sound.

"Why doesn't the royal sister-in-law say anything?"

The fourth prince's voice was cold, and Murong Jiu heard the sound of clothes rubbing together, and he seemed to have stood up.

Murong Jiu took a deep breath in his heart and said, "Fourth Emperor brother, where are you? Did you save me?"

The fourth prince seemed to chuckle.

"Yes, Sister-in-law, I saved you, otherwise, you might have drowned in the moat."

"Then why are you tying me up? Can the Fourth Emperor brother loosen my tyings for me?"

<divclass="contentadv">"How can that be done?"

The fourth prince came to squat in front of Murong Jiu and blew out the fire stick in his hand.

The weak firelight illuminated the fourth prince's face. There was not a drop of rain on his head, and his clothes were dry. His handsome face had the same smile as usual, but the evil in his eyes was not concealed.

"The emperor's sister-in-law is so smart and can turn the entire situation around with one person. If I let you go, wouldn't it be all in vain?"

Murong Jiu felt strange in her heart: "I don't understand what you are talking about or what the situation is. I am just a weak woman with some medical skills."

"Why should the emperor's wife be modest? If others don't know it, how can I not know it? Do you know? I had a dream. In the dream, the eldest and the third emperor brother died early, the second emperor brother became the prince, and the second prince wanted to regicide and ascend the throne. I falsely conveyed the imperial edict, was exposed by hundreds of officials, and was hacked to death in the Golden Palace. As the only orthodox royal bloodline, I ascended the throne. However, before I sat on the dragon throne, I woke up from my dream..."

The fourth prince's words sent chills to Murong Jiu's bones.

It turns out...it turns out that she is not the only one who has been reborn in this world. The fourth prince is actually the same as her?Or did he just really have a dream?

She didn't even dare to think about it.

"Sister-in-law, you said it would be great if everything went according to plan. Why did something unexpected happen to you?"

Under the flickering light of Huo Zhezi, the eyes of the fourth prince were full of murderous intent.

Murong Jiu also understood why he felt strange when he saw the fourth prince's eyes during the last sacrifice.

Everyone was deceived by the fourth prince. He was the real one who pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. His mother's family background was poor, so he stood still and let the other princes fight to the death. He secretly arranged it and wielded the sickle at the last moment to reap the fruits.

In the end, the second prince failed to get on his favorite dragon chair. He had been plotting for half his life and spilled blood in the Golden Palace.

But the fourth prince couldn't sit on it, because he woke up from his "dream", and he went from being a confirmed new emperor to being a high-spirited and mediocre prince again.

It's strange to feel happy.

Murong Jiu didn't know how long ago it was when the fourth prince "awoke" from his dream, and there was no need for her to ask. In the current situation, it was useless for her to say anything.

It just depends on whether the fourth prince wants to kill her or use her for something.

If he wanted her dead, he wouldn't have taken her out of the moat and stabbed her several times in the water. She would have died long ago, so why bother with this anymore?

So she didn't need to speak at all.

The fourth prince's eyes lingered on her face, and suddenly he reached out and touched her smooth side face:

"Without this birthmark, the emperor's sister-in-law really feels like a different person. The second emperor brother regrets it now. If he had married you earlier, the crown prince position would have been his, and his legs would not have been chopped off." .”

Murong Jiu wanted to break free, but his hands were tied tightly and he couldn't move.

"Don't worry, Sister-in-Law, you are very smart and know that I will not kill you. I have always cared for you."

These words made Murong Jiu feel cold in his heart.

The bullshit talk of pity and pity for jade is simply ridiculous!

She didn't believe that the fourth prince, who had never even interacted with him a few times, would have that kind of interest in her.

The fourth prince rubbed his thumb on her face:

"What's the expression on the emperor's sister-in-law's face? Why don't you believe me? You make me love and hate you at the same time. When I knew that you had changed the situation, I wanted to kill you, but I couldn't help but be curious about you. You don't know that I secretly How long have I been observing you, sister-in-law?"
