Just as Xiao Yun thought, even if she, the crown prince, relies 80% on the guidance of the imperial master and 20% on her own acting skills, many people think that her position is not right, her character is defective, and she is even willing to degenerate. Now everyone will not Will rub her face.
Besides, she called out all the princes, princesses and her own party members in Beijing, and the address she chose was a public place like Zhaixing Tower, so she wouldn't do anything too extreme.
He just wanted to show off his status and power and intimidate them.
However, Xiao Yun's approach still left them a little confused.
When they arrived at the Star Building, they were not welcomed in. Instead, they were asked to wait at the door.
Xiao Yun walked out holding an exquisite white jade Buddha and greeted everyone friendly.
The emperor did not have many daughters, only ten, but he had many sons.
Twenty-three survived to be sorted, and seventeen are still alive, two of whom were seriously injured and dying (the third prince and the tenth prince).
There was also a second prince born by the former empress who was demoted to a commoner because he opposed the emperor's pursuit of immortality.
The eldest prince and the eighth prince were from poor backgrounds, their mothers fell out of favor, and they themselves were not valued by the emperor, just like transparent people.
The fourth prince was born with a disability. Unless the prince dies, he will not be able to inherit the throne.
The fifth and sixth princes died again due to turmoil in the capital.
Among the top ten princes, apart from Xiao Yun, only the seventh prince born from Concubine Mei looks more promising.
The prince behind him is under fifteen and is not qualified to participate in politics.
People who don’t want to side with Xiao Yun, the evil prince, can’t help but think about the possibility of siding with him.
According to this logical development, he will become the biggest winner in Xiao Yun's assassination.
No wonder he looks like "Sooner or later something will happen to the prince, and I will ascend the throne sooner or later" in the book.
"Brother Three Emperors and Brother Tenth Emperor are still sick. I heard that they were not as seriously injured as me. I thought they could move freely now." Xiao Yun hugged the Jade Buddha and looked very surprised and worried, "Do you have any Those who have seen them, how are their injuries now?"
The princes who had the accident were not clear about it.
At least they all had done something to her, and after her accident, they were eager to divide their rights and compete for the position of crown prince.
After hearing that they were still lingering on the line between life and death, and that even if they were rescued, they would probably become useless, she felt reassured and expressed her urgent concern: "It's so, I will go see them later."
Everyone began to praise him.
The princelings, that is, the princelings in the past, were not very capable, and they used a variety of rhetoric techniques to flatter and displease.
Using this motto, they boasted about "the prince is blessed by the gods", recounted the past "miracles", and then focused on the recent "resurrection from the dead and recovery from serious injuries".
Even the younger princes and princesses, after hearing their words, looked at Xiao Yun from fear to admiration.
Immortals are the most respected people in the palace, and they are inevitably affected by this trend.
As the mastermind who failed to kill Xiao Yun as planned, the Seventh Prince endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but said: "Ninth brother suffered such a serious head injury, but he is still wearing the curtain as usual."
"Being hit by such a big piece of jade pendant made me miserable. If it hadn't been completely healed, I wouldn't have dared to wear a curtain." Xiao Yun seemed not to notice his doubts and smiled as he brought the topic to what he wanted to say. .
"Although I was lucky enough to survive, such luck will not always be there. The next person who is hit may die on the spot without waiting for medical treatment."
"I don't want to see anyone suffer this serious crime again, so I invite people close to me to come and see the consequences of a heavy object falling from the tenth floor of the Star Building."
"I'm worried that when I invite others, they might think I'm threatening, but you are all my relatives and friends, so you won't misunderstand me, right?"
Everyone: "..."
I wanted to say something but couldn't say it because I was kidnapped by morality.
I don't dare to run away.
In the end, I could only watch her holding the Jade Buddha as she turned and entered the Star Building, and then formed a circle at the door at the request of the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yun carried the Jade Buddha upstairs.
She asked the shopkeeper of Zhaixinglou to suspend business, but she did not stop the customers who had made reservations from coming.
People were looking at her all the way.
But no one came up to talk to her because her reputation was not good.
The original owner was worried that others would discover his secret, so he lived in seclusion and basically only interacted with people from the Imperial Master line, and the vassal was also introduced by those people.
With such a party member, it's no wonder that her reputation and popularity are so good.
Xiao Yun calculated with his fingers and felt that today was a good time to change his image and make new friends.
She stood at the stairwell of the ninth floor, ready to select two lucky audience members to be her performance assistants.
Putting the Jade Buddha into the hands of Yang Yu who was accompanying him, someone arranged his clothes and knocked on the door of a private room like a human being.
For no other reason than that people in other private rooms opened their windows to peek at her, but the owner of this room did not.
She must let the other party see her heroic appearance.
The room was quiet for a while, then a servant opened the door and asked politely, as if he didn't realize her identity, "What can I do for you?"
Xiao Yun was a little surprised.
Because this is Xie You's servant, he even gave her a gift in the morning.
She also pretended not to know the other person and said with a smile: "Some things require help from people who are not familiar with me. If you are a stranger to me, your master must also be a stranger to me."
The boy who deliberately pretended not to recognize her identity said: "...I will report to the master."
When he turned around, he saw that his master was already behind him, and he immediately stepped aside.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie You took his younger brother to salute Xiao Yun.
She nodded: "What do you call the young master?"
"Xie You, this is my younger brother Xie Heng."
"Oh, they are Mr. Xie's two good nephews. Mr. Xie has a good reputation. With your help, no one will think that I am deliberately retaliating against anyone."
Xie You smiled politely: "His Royal Highness invited his relatives and friends here. Isn't it a good intention to remind them?"
"As you know, Gu has always had a bad temper and is very domineering. Someone gave me a jade Buddha today, probably to persuade me to be kind. I thought about it and realized that a person should be positive and kind, and not indulge in hatred and resentment all the time. among.”
"But people are not saints, and sometimes it is difficult to control their emotions. I come with good intentions. If they refuse to accept my good intentions and still doubt and reprimand me, I will be very sad."
Xie You glanced at the man in front of him with a string of white jade beads hanging on his hand.
The texture is excellent and very new.
Winding around that slightly slender hand, it looked like a tame little snake.
It was rumored that the Ninth Prince was moody and overbearing.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
Not only that, she also has enough skills that others have no choice but to accept her appearance.
"What does Your Highness need us to do?"
he asks.
"It's very simple."
Xiao Yun wants to ask them to throw things down from the top of the Star Building.
She prepared gold nuggets, silver nuggets, iron nuggets, and the jade Buddha given by the Chen family, which were the same size as the jade pendant that hit her.
He took the iron nugget himself, gave the gold nugget to Yang Yu, gave the silver nugget to Xie Heng, and put the jade Buddha into Xie You's hand.
After the distribution, she teased the child: "Xie Wulang, how do you count?"
Xie Heng said with great pride: "I am number one in clan studies."
She: "Guess, if these four things fall from the same height at the same time, what is the order in which they will land?"
Xie Heng thought for a moment and gave his answer: "With the same size, the heavier one falls faster, and with the same weight, the smaller one falls faster. So the gold nugget falls to the ground first, followed by the silver nugget, the iron nugget third, and finally It’s the Jade Buddha.”
Xiao Yun smiled: "It's very thoughtful. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely think that the heaviest Jade Buddha will fall to the ground first."
The ancients lacked systematic study of physics and did not know certain laws. It is not bad to have such an awareness.
But in the face of objects with a certain density, air resistance is actually negligible.
Speaking of the Jade Buddha, Xie Heng said hesitantly: "This Jade Buddha is precious and it was a gift to His Highness. Do you really want my brother to throw it downstairs?"
Could it... involve his brother in some grudges?
In front of the prince, he still didn't dare to ask so directly.
Xiao Yun: "If the Chen family were smarter and more powerful, I would really look forward to Xie Yulang having to deal with them in a difficult way. Unfortunately, they are all useless and stupid people, and I don't intend to let them jump up and down and continue to be annoying. "
Yulang is praising Xie You for his good looks, which is also a very popular title in recent years.
Compared with those pretty boys who love to apply powder, Xie You is obviously more able to bear this praise.
Xie Heng felt her bad heart and felt a little angry.
Xiao Yun still felt that it was not enough, and further said: "If you don't mention these disappointing things, does Xie Wulang think that his judgment will be correct? What if I say that they will all fall into place at the same time?"
Xie Heng said firmly: "This is impossible."
"If I am right and you are wrong, how about you take back what you said when you left the city yesterday?"
Xie Heng's face turned pale and he apologized to her decisively.
"I am a person who only accepts sincere apology and correction. If they are just afraid of my power, I will only make them more afraid."
She smiled lightly and asked someone to help him up.
"Okay, the people downstairs have been waiting for a long time. Count to three and we will throw it down together."
Using the railing as a line, after three countdowns, the four people let go of their hands at the same time.
A loud noise came from downstairs.
They are not consecutive because they fall at the same time.
Xiao Yun held onto the railing and looked down to see the crowd of people screaming: "It seems someone was hurt."
Then quickly went downstairs.
Xie Heng looked at the fragmented Jade Buddha and the three bricks embedded in the bluestone, then looked back at his brother: "It seems..."
"Nothing." Xie You touched his head, "I hope you can grow through this career."
He calmed down a bit and said solemnly, "Yes."
Xiao Yun saw the seventh prince with bloodstains on his face in the crowd.
Thought: Things went more smoothly than I expected.
She deliberately asked Xie You to stand on the side close to the Seventh Prince, but she did not expect that the fragments of the Jade Buddha could really hurt people, and accurately only hurt the Seventh Prince.
If she hadn't known that this person was very protective of himself and didn't care about other people's business, she would have thought that Xie You was helping her on purpose.
"Brother Seventh Emperor, are you okay?" She approached with concern, "I thought you were standing far enough away, but I didn't expect it would hurt you."
Everyone downstairs knew that she was going to throw something down, so they didn't even stand close to her.
At the request of the guards, he only stayed at a distance "where he could see with his own eyes the power of heavy objects falling from high floors."
The seventh prince thought that he was setting an example for the royal family and did not want others to think that he was afraid of the prince, so he stood close to the front, as if he was protecting the disabled fourth prince.
I didn't expect that he would actually get hurt.
The injury wasn't serious, but it was on his face and he shouldn't go out until it healed.
Unless he wears a curtain like the prince, but compared to the curtain, who can have Xiao Yun's luxury?
He was full of anger, but he still wanted to look reasonable on his face. Just when he was about to say "I don't blame you," a cold object was suddenly thrust into his hand.
It's a dagger.
"As the saying goes, blood for blood, injury for injury, please forgive me if Brother Seventh Emperor stabs me in the face."
The curtain was lifted, and the Seventh Prince saw a familiar face without any sign of illness.
The expression on that face was also similar to what he had seen before.
Somber and cold, full of scrutiny.
It was so familiar, but it filled him with infinite fear.
