Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

East Palace, Jiale Hall.

The sound of stringed instruments and music began, and the dancers' skirts drew dazzling arcs.

Liu Mei was surrounded by dancers in the middle, spinning quickly on her toes. She looked like a blooming horseshoe flower, graceful and eye-catching.

The hand of King Zhao holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, he was already staring in a trance.

Until the end of the song, King Zhao stretched out his tongue to lick the remaining wine at the corner of his mouth, with a look of intoxication on his face.

Liu Mei looked at the undisguised aggression in King Zhao's eyes and blushed instantly, looking unconsciously towards the prince.

Ever since she had sex with the Prince of Zhao all night on the night of his wedding, Liu Mei finally realized what it was like to be a woman. The life she had led with the Prince was truly not a human life!

Unfortunately, after Liu Mei came back, the prince was satisfied that she had an affair with Prince Zhao, but at the same time he was jealous that his woman was taken by Prince Zhao.

Liu Mei was naked and was whipped by the prince for a whole day, and she almost died.

Fortunately, the prince thought she was still useful, so he let her rest for a few days and then started to host a banquet for King Zhao in the East Palace.

Almost every few days, the prince would invite Prince Zhao to the East Palace, and Liu Mei would dance for him every time.

But she felt it was a pity that she would never have the chance to meet Prince Zhao again. But when she thought of the prince's whip, she was afraid of such an opportunity. Liu Mei felt that she was about to be torn apart by the torture.

Seeing the interaction between Prince Zhao and Liu Mei's eyes, the prince was furious but showed no sign of it on his face.

"I offer a toast to Uncle Wang."

King Zhao raised the cup heroically and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Highness entertains me every day, and I have no way to repay you. A few days ago, Your Majesty asked me who is suitable for the position of Chief Instructor of the Imperial Guards. I made the decision on my own and nominated Wang Meng."

The prince's sickly pale face suddenly lit up when he heard this.

Wang Meng was his subordinate, and the chief instructor of the imperial guards was not a high-ranking official. Such an arrangement would not easily arouse Emperor Ming's suspicion, but it would make it convenient for the prince to cultivate his own confidants in the imperial guards, which would be of great help to him.

"Thank you for your care, Uncle Wang. I will definitely repay you generously in the future."

King Zhao smiled without saying anything, only glancing at Liu Mei who was beside the prince.

After that night, he became addicted to Liu Mei and could not stop thinking about her. He didn't even look at his newly married lame wife again. He only wanted to come to the East Palace to find Liu Mei.

The prince immediately understood what Prince Zhao meant. Just as he was about to turn around and ask Liu Mei to serve Prince Zhao, a guard suddenly came to report.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince requests an audience."

Upon hearing that Nan Huaishuo was coming to see him, the prince frowned slightly.

Ever since he heard Nan Rongjing's talk about the Assistant Minister of War at the New Year's Palace Banquet, he immediately went to investigate, but he did not expect that things were exactly as Nan Rongjing said.

That assistant minister of the Ministry of War is Nan Huaishuo’s man!

It was as if the dog he had raised for many years suddenly started speaking human language, which made people feel cold in their bones.

So in recent times, he hasn't seen Nan Huaishuo again, but has been busy looking for more evidence of his betrayal in private, but he has never found any.

This made the prince hesitate for a moment. It seemed not worthwhile to kill the dog he had raised for many years just because of the incident of the Minister of War.

Moreover, he didn't want to alert the enemy before the prince dispelled his suspicion of Nan Huaishuo.

"Let him in."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I greet your uncle."

"Get up. I am hosting a banquet for my uncle today. You have come at the right time. Go and add a chair for the fifth prince."

Nan Huaishuo sat down with great trepidation, looking nervous and uneasy, as if he had something to say.

"Does Huaishuo have anything to say?"

Only then did Nan Huaishuo dare to look up at the prince, his eyes sincere and fearful.

"Your Highness, a few days ago, the Minister of War came to see me..."

Nan Huaishuo knew that his identity as the Minister of War had been exposed, so he simply pushed him to the surface and made him the prince's man.

He made up a play about a reunion of old friends and told it in a very sincere manner.

"I didn't expect that he was the scholar I met in Songshan County. After so many years, I didn't recognize him. Now I have persuaded him to join His Highness."

The prince examined Nan Huaishuo's expression calmly. He acted flawless, but the prince's suspicion was not so easy to dispel. He waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Since he is your old friend, you cannot use our old friendship to coerce him into working for me. It is unsafe to work with such a person."

Nan Huaishuo was startled by the prince's words, which seemed to have profound meaning. Before he could continue to express his loyalty, the prince's voice rang out again.

"But he is an old friend after all, so keep him in the dark and don't reveal your identity."

The prince's explanation made Nan Huaishuo feel relieved. The prince's willingness to employ this person showed that he basically accepted Nan Huaishuo's words.

Because Nan Huaishuo was present, Liu Mei could not dance anymore, nor could she serve King Zhao in front of him.

As a result, only the dancers were left twisting their slender waists and continuing to pose on the stage.

Just as the Crown Prince and King Zhao were toasting each other and the banquet atmosphere was getting lively.

Clang!

There was a sudden sound of gold colliding. Before anyone present could react, the guards beside the prince drew their swords and rushed towards the dancers on the stage.

The dancers who had been dancing hard just now suddenly pulled out daggers and soft swords from their waists and rushed towards the prince.

However, the guards reacted too quickly, and the dancer, who had just approached the prince, was instantly hacked to death by two guards.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the warm scarlet blood sprayed all over the prince's head and face.

It was not until this moment that everyone saw the situation clearly and immediately screamed.

"There's an assassin, protect the prince!"

Nan Huaishuo was the first to react. He rushed to the prince with a heroic look of sacrificing his life for justice, but Nan Huaishuo's eyes kept quickly scanning his surroundings. As long as there was deadly danger approaching, he would definitely protect himself first.

The musicians and maids were in chaos, screaming and running around.

Some people accidentally ran onto the stage in the panic and were instantly pierced by the swords of the dancers and guards. Their broken limbs and blood were splattered on the stage, and the scene was in chaos.

The prince was already frightened silly at this moment. It's not like he had never encountered assassination attempts before, but no assassin had ever gotten close to him alive and splattered blood on his face!

Now his physique was weak, and after being frightened like this, he felt an excruciating pain in his heart.

"Hurry, help me back and call the imperial physician!"

Nan Huaishuo immediately helped the prince up and walked towards the nearest house through the chaotic crowd.

At this moment, Liu Mei was also frightened and stunned. When the prince just stood up and prepared to leave, a dancer saw that the prince was about to leave, and regardless of the guards swinging their swords at her, she desperately threw the dagger in her hand towards the prince.

Unfortunately, the dancer’s aim is not good.

The dagger cut through the sky and flew towards Liu Mei!

Seeing that there was no escape, Liu Mei could only close her eyes and wail in her heart.

My life is over!
