    The prince felt bad when he saw the human skin in the dog's mouth. Hurried over, only to see the princess's face haggard by the maidservant sitting on the chair, saw him coming, but also looked up at him with a smile, her face was three points whiter than the ghost.

    "what's going on?"

    The princess drooped her eyes, covered her face with a veil and cried, "I don't know, this animal suddenly broke in with something in its mouth, and my concubine ordered someone to catch it, only to find that what was in its mouth was a peeled human skin.". "

    The prince had a twitch on his cheek and stared gloomily at the sobbing princess, wondering whether it was a coincidence or whether she wanted to get back at him. It's just that he didn't tell anyone about that place, and the princess shouldn't know about it.

    "get rid of the beast, take the filth down and burn it clean, and send a team of guards to guard it, so as not to frighten the crown princess." The prince looked at the princess again and said, "the princess is weak. Let's go out less and rest more in the future."

    After saying that, was about to leave, but heard a burst of voices from outside. When went out to have a look, it was Ji Anmin who came in with the men of Dali Temple.

    "what's going on? Who allowed you to come in? "

    Ji Anmin saluted him from afar, neither humble nor arrogant and said, "your Majesty is afraid that there are filthy things hidden elsewhere, so he specially ordered the old minister to assist the prince in the search." In case there is any omission, the crown princess will be surprised. "

    Since it was the order of Emperor Anqing, even the prince could not stop it. We can only watch Ji Anmin and his men start searching.

    The prince gritted his teeth and looked at Ji Anmin with warning: "is Lord Ji too wild?" Even the Gu Donggong Palace can be searched as soon as it is said. "

    Ji Anmin bowed slightly: "I dare not, but I am under orders."

    What else did the prince want to say, but there was a cry from the other end. He strode over to search his subordinates, looked hesitantly at the prince, and replied, "I found a dark room in the princess's bedroom.". Inside. "

    When the prince heard that the eyelids of the darkroom jumped, he heard Ji Anmin ask, "what's going on inside?"

    "there are a lot of people who have been completely skinned."

    "go and have a look." Ji Anmin looked back at the prince whose face changed slightly and got up to check with his subordinates.

    On one of the walls of the inner room of the dormitory, there was a secret door, and down the steps, there was a small darkroom, and in this darkroom, there were multiple shelves on all four walls, or riding whips of various materials, or various styles of jade, or bottles and cans. Only on the shelf of one wall was the complete peeling off of a woman's face, a total of 19 pieces, all of which were held on a jade plate. Under the dim candlelight, it made people chill.

    "your excellency, there is another passage."

    "go and have a look."

    Everyone went down the aisle, walked about half a cup of tea, and saw the end. Turn on the switch to go out, but it is Cafang hospital.

    Ji Anmin looked at the desolate courtyard, sighed and said, "go back."

    All the objects in the darkroom were carefully sealed and taken away, and when he left, Anmin passed by the prince. Seeing that his face was pale, he said in a low voice, "take care of your Highness."

    ……

    All the objects found in the East Palace were presented to Emperor Anqing. Although Emperor Anqing did not say anything, he only looked very ugly.

    I heard that Emperor Anqing went to the Empress Dowager Palace to have a secret talk that night, and then the queen was summoned, but when she left again, the former dignified empress looked depressed, and there were several palmprints on her face.

    The matter of the East Palace was a royal scandal and was not much publicized. But at that time, many people, well-informed will know that looking at the gentle prince, unexpectedly like to torture and kill women for fun, and every time he kills a woman, he has to peel off the poor woman's face and collect it. What is even more frightening is that the pickled things are hidden in the darkroom of the princess's dormitory.

    For a moment there was a mixture of sigh and sympathy. wondered how the crown prince had developed such a feeling. The prince, who sympathized with the good princess, was frightened to be ill after that day.

    As for the crown prince, after being summoned into the palace by the queen, he was quietly placed under house arrest by Emperor Anqing.

    This time, Empress Dowager Zhao no longer came forward to plead for mercy, and there was no one among Zhao's henchmen in the court to plead for the prince. On the contrary, a few old courtiers began to fold one after another, saying that the prince was immoral, bloodthirsty and cruel, and could not bear to be a king. Please scrap the crown prince Anqing.

    Ji Anmin took the lead, followed by the henchmen of the three princes, followed by those who were close to the prince in the past, all of whom tried to distance themselves from the prince.

    The sound of abolishing the prince was higher and higher day by day. After thinking about it for several days, Emperor Anqing deposed the eldest son, Prince Xiao Qi Eucalyptus, and imprisoned the imperial mausoleum for life on the grounds of the prince's immorality.

    The Crown Princess and his family were not involved, but just moved out of the Eastern Palace. Still be able to retain the identity of the crown prince and concubine.

    This result is similar to what an Changqing heard in his last life.

    He sat on the swing made by Xiao Zhige himself, put his toes on the ground a little harder, then swung high, and his voice became erratic: "if you want to cut the grass and remove the roots, the abandoned prince will not be willing to imprison the imperial mausoleum." According to the track of the previous life, Prince Fei would secretly collude with Chu Anliang and Shi Lezheng and send troops back to Beijing to seize the throne.

    "isn't that better?" Xiao Zhige stood behind him to prevent him from accidentally falling: "I'm afraid he's too quiet."

    "Hmm?" An Changqing stopped and turned to look at him. "do you already have a plan?"

    Today, when he was dressed in light cyan clothes, his ink hair was tied up with a white jade crown, and he looked at people with a swing rope, his eyes seemed to reflect the bright sky and the beauty was burning. Xiao Zhige's Adam's apple rolled, squinted slightly, and gave a low "um".

    "what's the plan?" An Changqing was completely aroused by curiosity this time and reached out to tug at the corner of his clothes. But not Qiu Qianyi sloshing, his center of gravity is unstable will fall, the hand subconsciously grabbed Xiao Zhige's belt.

    Xiao Zhige firmly caught him, but took the opportunity to hold the person and did not let go, and his slightly hot and dry lips left at the tip of his nose: "do you want to know?"

    This deja vu tone. An Changqing immediately became vigilant, took it out of his arms and sat back on the swing, skimming her lips and saying, "now I don't want to know. Do you like to say it or not?"

    Seeing that people were not fooled, Xiao Zhige was not disappointed when he failed. He only said, "the scrap of the prince is good news. It is suitable to drink and enjoy the moon. I will talk to you when I enjoy the moon at night."

    An Changqing gave a light "hum" and thought that I was going to say it if I didn't ask you.

    It was only when he drank a few glasses of wine at night and was dizzy when he was held by a man on the swing that he repented. There is only a small twilight lamp in the courtyard, the figures overlap on the swinging swing, and in the quiet night, a voice with a shallow nasal sound scolds: liar, asshole.

    The other voice was low and hoarse, happily eating all these cursing words into his mouth.

    Xiao Qi eucalyptus was abandoned, but Emperor Anqing was no longer anxious to set up a new prince. But he does not stand, these courtiers always choose one side to stand in line, Anqing Emperor's body day by day, it is impossible to say how long it will last. But the only heirs left are the king of the Northern War and the third prince.

    The third prince is young, but the imperial concubine is favored, and the strength of the Shu family is not small. After the prince fell, a group of people turned to the third prince.

    And the rest of the people, after watching for a while, were biased towards the king of the Northern War.

    Since ancient times, emperors have set up reserves, and if they do not set up a brigade, they will be long. Although the king of the Northern War did not have a strong mother's family, he had military power, great meritorious service, and occupied the word "long", so it was obviously difficult to surpass him.

    For a time, the palace of the Northern War was full of people. It's just that after all, Anqing Emperor did not let out the news of setting up a reserve, and they dared not be too blatant, so they euphemistically sent the young children of the family to get acquainted with each other. If they were replaced by other princes, they might have to send their wives to make friends, but an Changqing was in charge of the palace in the Northern War, and it was inconvenient for the women to get close, so they simply sent children of the same age to invite an Changqing to dinner.

    An Changqing looked at the accumulation of worship posts, selected a few can make friends to go to the banquet.

    They are all children of the same age, although they have different identities, but they are not rigid in talking and laughing. An Changqing went to several banquets and really got to know a few friends with similar temperament and hobbies.

    He used to see very few people in the prime minister's office, so he didn't have a chance to make any friends. Later, when he got married, Xiao Zhige was in a difficult situation, and it was even more unsuitable for him to make friends with others. The most comfortable and relaxing day is the time in Yanzhou. When got back to Beijing, could only live cautiously and seldom went out. almost caught up with the miss purdah who couldn't get out of the house.

    But after making friends, it is different. An Changqing has found a good book and can invite people to read it together. Or have a novel idea, can also discuss with people, brainstorming, but also broaden the mind.

    Of course, if there are many friends, it is inevitable that there will be more social activities. Originally, when Xiao Zhige returned home, an Changqing either enjoyed the cool in the pavilion or read in the study. Now in the lower dynasty, no one can be found in four out of five times. If you ask the princess where she is, the housekeeper will probably answer, "which little son has invited the princess to eat wine, visit the lake and climb the mountains?"

    The king of the Northern War felt like a resentful man in purdah.

    Asked the housekeeper which little Childe invited people today, Xiao Zhige rode a horse to find the past with his memory.

    This day was saved by the second son of the Xiaowenbo family. Xiaowenbo had no ambition. He took a false position under the shadow of his ancestors and had no real power. They seldom stand in line in Korea and live in peace and security. However, the brother of his wife is the minister of the Dali Temple.

    Being able to collect the evidence of the prince's guilt smoothly, the minister of Dali Temple made a lot of efforts this time. Although the minister of the Dali Temple did not show his closeness, it was already a signal that Xiaowenbo's second son took the initiative to get close to an Changqing.

    And according to an Changqing: this little Childe has a lot of wonderful ideas, and the two get along very well.

    Xiao Zhige found the lake and looked at a group of boys on the painting boat who were drinking and visiting the lake. After searching for the figure of an Changqing, he could not help but tilt up the corners of his mouth. But looking at an Changqing's high-spirited appearance, he couldn't help being a little sour.

    He watched sour, but did not take the initiative to go over. If he showed up on such an occasion, he would probably be in the doldrums.

    It's just that he didn't want to disturb an Changqing's mood, but the others didn't look so much.

    An Changduan delivered four or five posts to the palace of the Northern War, but Zhang sank into the sea. After waiting patiently for some time, he found out that an Changqing was visiting the lake today, so he couldn't help looking for it.

    An Changqing in the painting boat has been chartered, he can not get on, can only invite another group of people, chartered a painting boat, pretending to be a chance encounter.

    After the two painted boats gradually approached, he pretended to inadvertently see an Changqing, did not see the field raised a voice: "third brother?" Are you coming to visit the lake today? "

    When he called for the first time, an Changqing did not respond to him for a moment. After all, he has had no contact with Anjia for a long time, and has long been a stranger to the voice of an Changduan. Moreover, an Changduan had never called him so enthusiastically before.

    It was only after an Changduan called out again that he came to his senses. Turning slowly, he squinted slightly and asked, "are you calling me?"

    Anchang froze for a moment, then adjusted his expression and added, "Yes, how are you when you haven't seen your third brother for a long time?"

    An Changqing immediately wondered where his enthusiasm came from and replied, "as you can see, there's nothing wrong with me."

    An Changduan choked on him and felt his obviously alienated attitude, so he felt a little resentful. In the past, he would have been impatient. But when I thought of my father's advice, I could only squeeze out a warm smile: "good. Father and mother miss you very much and ask me to ask you when you are free to go home. Our family has not been reunited for a long time."

    Who knew that when he finished, an Changqing did not pick up his words and looked at him inexplicably and said, "what you said is wrong. Now the Northern War Palace is my home, and Prince and I are a family." I will naturally go home after swimming in the lake, so I don't have to worry about it. "

    With that, he ignored an Changduan and beckoned some of his friends to continue drinking.
