Chapter 689: Prince Zhong Li
Chapter 689: Prince Zhong Li
The royal guards outside the door did not move, and still pointed their knives at the people in the hall.
The Ninth Prince shouted to the people behind him: "Are you deaf?"
Xia Wanniang looked at the Ninth Prince who was about to jump up and down: "You are being used as a gun, but you are still jumping around like this. You are really stupid." After saying that, she looked at the Seventh Prince who had been silent the whole time: "Am I right? Seventh Brother."
The Seventh Prince looked at her in confusion: "I don't quite understand what my sister means."
Seeing him like this, Xia Wanniang could only shrug helplessly: "Since Seventh Brother doesn't understand, there's nothing we can do." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to return to the previous team.
Just at this moment, the Seventh Prince moved, reaching out and grabbing Xia Wanniang who had her back to him.
"Mother."
"Miss Wan."
"Princess."
When Xia Wanniang turned around and he was grabbing her neck, a gun was pointed at his heart.
There was no fear on her face, and she was even smiling: "Seventh Brother, guess which is faster, strangling me to death or me killing you?"
The Seventh Prince looked down at the strange thing against his chest and said, "You want to threaten me with such a strange thing? Do you think I was scared?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to the imperial guards behind him and said, "Go ahead, don't leave any one alive."
The royal guard raised his knife and was about to chop at the nearest minister's wife and daughter.
"what!"
"boom!"
There were screams of fear in the hall, and the figures of the Royal Guards falling down.
The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince knew better than anyone what that "bang" sound just now meant.
Xia Wanniang held the gun in one hand against the Seventh Prince's chest, and in the other hand, she pointed the same weapon at the Imperial Guard who had just fallen.
"It seems that the weapon in my hand is faster. Let me see who is next?"
She pointed the gun in her hand at the royal guards.
The Seventh Prince looked at the gun on his chest. If it were that speed, he would be the first to die before killing her.
"Royal sister, my taking the throne does you no harm, why do you have to ruin my good fortune?"
Xia Wanniang turned to look at the Seventh Prince: "Seventh Brother, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If there is no benefit, will the other countries unite to help you take the throne?"
The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you help me, I will give you whatever you want."
Xia Wanniang smiled faintly: "It's a pity that you can't give me what I want."
Zhuo Li was also startled by the gunshot. He looked at the gun in Xia Wanniang's hand. With the speed she attacked just now, even he would not be able to dodge it.
It seems that this plan will end in failure.
After all the calculations, he actually missed out on a princess who was the guardian of the country.
While everyone was still confronting each other, shouts and screams were heard outside the hall.
Xia Wanniang looked at the Seventh Prince in front of her and said, "Seventh Prince, are the people outside yours or His Majesty's?"
The Seventh Prince looked at Wu Xiao in disbelief: "Impossible, how could he know?"
Xia Wanniang raised her hand and waved away his hand that was pinching her neck: "Do you think your plan is perfect?"
The Seventh Brother looked at her and said, "You have no chance of knowing."
Xia Wanniang: "Indeed, if it weren't for the banquet I hosted, it would be unlikely for His Majesty to know that the commander of the Imperial Guards and the generals defending the city had betrayed him."
"You're talking nonsense. We didn't say anything. How could you know?" The commander of the royal guards and the generals defending the city looked at her.
Wu Xiao: "You didn't say anything, but your wife told you everything, including the Xiangyun yarn, jewelry that is worth countless times more than your salary, and ivory hairpins."
After hearing this, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Cai's legs went weak and they fell to their knees.
When Lord Guo and Lord Cai heard this, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They had never imagined that their own wives were behind their failure.
Xia Wanniang spoke slowly: "So sometimes showing off your wealth is really not a good thing. It can expose all your problems to others."
She smiled at Mrs. Cai and said, "You think you are very smart and dress properly, but you wear an ivory hairpin. The more inconspicuous it is, the more suspicious it is."
