Chapter 1177: Assassination

Dai Boheng watched, but his smile was somewhat impudent, as if he was venting. One cup after another, he filled Prince Rong’s Cup.

When Prince Rong went out, he brought a lot of people with him. However, now, he had no way out and was not afraid at all.

At this moment, looking at Prince Rong’s drunken state, he suddenly took out a knife from his sleeve and stabbed it into Prince Rong’s chest while the guards were not paying attention.

Unfortunately, he was only a scholar and did not know martial arts.

With this stab, blood splattered. However, he knew that it was not deep enough to take Prince Rong’s life.

It was enough.

When Prince Rong’s guards saw that, they were shocked. Without saying anything else, they immediately took him down!

Prince Rong’s face was full of pain. He covered his wound and was in so much pain that he could not speak.

“The Dai family dared to assassinate the prince! How dare you! Men, detain this criminal and wait for his punishment!” The head guard’s heart turned cold.

He really did not expect that Dai Boheng would actually dare to act in such a manner!

The wine that Prince Rong drank naturally had to be checked in advance, so it was definitely not poisonous. In the beginning, they kept a close watch on him, but later on, the two of them drank one cup after another, and they drank happily. Who would have thought…

The guard immediately sent someone to call the imperial physician, and on this side, Dai Boheng had already been detained.

The people in the courtyard were thrown into chaos. The group of people immediately moved Prince Rong into the house, but there was not even a guest bed in this courtyard. They had no choice but to go to other small courtyards to recuperate and treat him.

The other members of the Dai family were trembling with fear and confusion, but the old master was well aware of this. At this moment, he could only clench his teeth and sigh.

As soon as these guards left, someone immediately went forward and collected as much fresh blood as possible from the table.

The old master ordered his men to speed up and immediately sent it to the Fortune Pavilion.

…

In the middle of the night, Xie Qiao was naturally at the Crown Prince’s residence.

It was only when she arrived at the Fortune Pavilion the next day that Shopkeeper Chang delivered the item!

This blood… was quite a lot?!

“I don’t know whose blood it is, but it smells quite fishy. A bottle was sent here in the middle of the night, and a lot more in the middle of the night. Boss, could this be black dog’s blood? Is it used to get rid of bad spirits?” Shopkeeper Chang had followed Xie Qiao for a long time, he became more and more curious about these things.

Usually, he would take a look at the strange things in the shop first.

Seeing his old bones, Xie Qiao was quite curious. She was worried that he might get some dirty things one day, so she even taught him a few protective spells and talisman-inscribing techniques. The little old man was quite interested in learning them.

“This is Prince Rong’s blood.” Xie Qiao opened the bottle and took a look.

“Prince Rong?!” Shopkeeper Chang’s heart shrank. “Why… did you buy His Highness’s blood? There’s so much. Was his arm or a leg severed?”

Xie Qiao smiled. “Actually, a few drops are enough. Who would have thought that Dai Boheng would be so ruthless?”

However, it was no wonder.

The whole family had been hiding things and never talked about it. They could still live their lives.

Who would have thought that Prince Rong would come, take the evidence, be on tenterhooks, and now that he had no way out, it would be strange if he did not go out of his mind.

Xie Qiao went upstairs to do some business. Shopkeeper Chang was curious, so he sent someone to inquire about Prince Rong’s situation.

When he did, he was shocked.

Prince Rong had been assassinated!

Not only that, the person who assassinated Prince Rong was actually Dai Boheng, who was supposed to be the prince consort. Oh right, today… was supposed to be Dai Boheng’s wedding day?!

He had just finished asking around when another wave of rumors came in the afternoon.

The engagement between Dai Boheng and the princess was broken off, but not because of Prince Rong’s matter, but because the Dai family… had deceived the emperor and worked with the enemy?!
