The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Jing Muyang took Qingshan towards the plum forest and saw Xifengxiyu's body at the edge of the plum forest. The two of them had some basic kung fu skills, and ordinary people could still fight against them, but the sharp sword wounds on their bodies showed that they were absolutely crushed by the opponent.

His heart sank again and he continued walking along the trail.

Not far away, he saw a green medicine bottle on the ground and the body of a guard with his throat sealed. Now he became even more nervous. Everyone in Prince Zhan's mansion knew what the green medicine bottle meant.

Going further ahead, there was a fighting scene. On the ground was the body of a man in black with his mask torn off. He was the chief guard of the Seventh Prince.

Walking further, he suddenly heard Qingmu's crying. Jing Muyang took a breath and flew over, and saw Qingmu holding Jinxiang and crying bitterly.

Jinxiang, the girl, had a limp neck at this time, obviously broken.

A shoe fell beside her and was picked up by the guard.

"They are the princess' shoes."

"And the princess's knife." Another guard picked up the dagger dropped by Chu Jian.

Jing Muyang tried to hold back, and his heart tightened even more.

"Prince! Prince!" Qinglin shouted outside the woods.

Jing Muyang rushed over and saw three figures lying on the ground. The one a little further away, wearing black clothes and covering his face, was the Seventh Prince, who was already dead. The other two fell together. One looked like a man from Nanbang, with many wounds on his body and a sword wound in the heart, who was also dead. Next to him was the Fifth Prince, who had several sword wounds and his face was dark blue, as if he had been poisoned.

"Your Highness, the fifth prince is still alive!" Qinglin took his pulse.

Jing Muyang quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. It went down his throat smoothly. This was the Hundred Poison Pill that Chu Jian gave him, which could cure all poisons. It should be able to relieve the pain.

"Send it back to the temple immediately!"

There were bloodstains on the ground. Judging from the distance, they looked like they were left by an injury to the sole of the foot, but Chu Jian was only wearing one shoe.

Jing Muyang followed the bloody footprints all the way to the cliff, and the bloody footprints disappeared at the edge of the cliff.

Did she jump?

She was so afraid of pain that she walked so far with so much blood on her feet?

She is so afraid of death, how dare she jump off such a high cliff?

But the surging river below the cliff swallowed up everything, and nothing could be seen.

"First time seeing you!" Jing Muyang knelt on the ground and shouted to the rolling river, "First time seeing you!"

"Your Highness, the princess may not have jumped off the cliff. Let's look for her again!" Qingshan pulled him back a little. "Your Highness, the fifth prince is still alive. Maybe he knows something. Let Qinglin take people to look for him again. Let's go back first. Maybe the fifth prince has woken up."

Upon hearing this, Jing Muyang immediately turned back to the temple and ordered, "Send someone to look for it below the cliff immediately!"

"Yes!" The guards who received the order quickly organized people to go down the mountain.

*

The emperor in the temple has heard the news.

"Chu Jian is gone? How could that be? She must have gone out to have fun somewhere again."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid something really has happened this time, and it's more likely to be fatal. Merlin found the body of her personal maid in the backyard, and Prince Zhan went there as soon as he returned to the temple. The Fourth Prince also brought people there just now." Eunuch Liu said softly.

"The personal maid was killed?" The emperor had already walked to the front yard, but he turned back and walked towards the back yard, "Let's go and take a look."

Along the way, guards kept reporting to the emperor: the Seventh Prince's subordinates were found, Princess Zhan's maid Jin Xiang was found, the Seventh Prince was found, the Fifth Prince was found, and there was a person from Nanbang.

It was not until he walked to the backyard that he actually saw these people. Except for the fifth prince, they were all lying on the ground.

"Little Seventh Prince?" The emperor strode forward. He did not believe that the man in black was the Seventh Prince. He pinched the Seventh Prince's chin and looked left and right.

"Your Majesty, this is the seventh prince." Eunuch Liu stepped forward and pulled him away.

"How could that be? What does he want to do dressed like this?!" The emperor was sad and angry, and seemed to remember something, "Where is Xiaowu?"

"The fifth prince is in the room. He is seriously injured and poisoned."

The emperor brushed aside Eunuch Liu and walked into the room, where Dean He was writing a prescription.

"Headmaster He, how is Xiaowu?"

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince has a fatal sword wound. Fortunately, the sword tip is only slightly off, so it's not too deep. He is under control at the moment, but he is poisoned. Although the War King gave him a hundred poison pills, it is still very dangerous. Your Majesty, I only have a 50% chance of success."

"We must save him even if we are 50% sure! He is my son!" Although he was the least capable and the most troublesome one, the emperor could not just watch him die.

At this time, Jing Muyang came back and looked at the emperor. Now he was sure that it was not his father who did it. It depended on what incident Chu Jian was involved in. Now only the fifth prince could understand clearly.

"How about our first meeting?" asked the emperor.

"We didn't find it. The last trace was at the edge of a cliff. We think he fell off the cliff." Jing Muyang said simply.

"Father, I have already given the order to go to the bottom of the cliff to search. I will be there soon. All matters in the temple will be handed over to the Crown Prince. If the fifth brother wakes up, please ask him if he knows the whereabouts of Chu Jian."

After saying that, Jing Muyang left. Now all he had in his mind was Chu Jian, and he just wanted to find her as soon as possible.

*

Other princes and several ministers also came one after another.

Liu Yiyi and Minister Liu were also among them. When she heard that Chu Jian was in trouble, she insisted on following to see what happened. When she looked up, she saw the Seventh Prince in black clothes lying on the ground, and the memory suddenly came back to her.

"Grandfather, it was the Seventh Prince who attacked us in the mansion!" Liu Yiyi panicked and whispered to Minister Liu.

The Fourth Prince just happened to think of this and looked over here. His eyes met Liu Yiyi's and he understood immediately.

The emperor was not told about the person falling into the water at Liu's mansion at first. Later, no trace of poison was found. This was related to the poisoning of King Zhan, which was something the emperor was already investigating. The suspects were several princes, so naturally it had to be reported to the emperor.

The emperor suspected this the first time he saw the Seventh Prince in black, and his reaction after seeing Liu Yiyi come in further verified this. It is very difficult to detect the Tianshui poison, but the Seventh Prince had contact with it but was not poisoned, which only means that he knew he was poisoned by Tianshui and he detoxified it as soon as possible.

It seems that Xiaojiu was poisoned by Xiaoqi, but why did he poison Xiaojiu? Was it his own plan or was it controlled by the prince? However, the prince took the golden cup but never used it. It is also very mysterious and hard to say.

The emperor looked at the princes who were trying to understand the situation.

The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were close, and asked Dean He in front of the bed, "Dean He, how is Fifth Brother doing?"

"The Fifth Prince is not in good condition. The antidote is difficult to prepare. The temple's pharmacy doesn't have enough. I have sent someone down the mountain to get the medicine."

"How could he be poisoned? Who gave him the poison? Could it be that Nanbang spy? Someone, search him for the antidote!" The third prince was angry and anxious.

How could Dean He not think of this? "We searched, but nothing."

"Has the Seventh Prince been searched? The three of them fell not far away, and the Seventh Prince is still wearing black clothes. Who knows what he is doing! Someone, search the Seventh Prince!"

"Third brother, all the sword wounds on fifth brother's body were inflicted by the people of Nanbang. What do you mean by this behavior? Are you suspecting seventh brother?" The sixth prince was close to the seventh prince and stood up to speak for the seventh prince.

"That's right! I am suspicious! We were all in the front yard in broad daylight, why was he wandering around the back hills alone in black?! I seriously suspect that he is colluding with the Nanbang spies! Fifth brother is still waiting for the antidote, search for me!"
