Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 10 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (10)

After some explanation, the remaining three eunuchs who were supposed to deliver the imperial edict finally gave up and followed Zhang Huai to discuss how to escape from Prince Lu's Mansion. The final result of the discussion was that the four of them had to act separately immediately.

One of them went back to Fengxiang Palace to get the waist badge and token.

If one wanted to return to the capital to report to the emperor, it wouldn't matter if he didn't wear eunuch uniform. He could just go back and apply for another set of uniforms from the palace. However, without a waist badge, he couldn't use the official roads or stay at post stations on his way back to the capital. He might even be stopped at checkpoints, making it difficult to prove his identity. This was considered a high-level road permit.

Without the talisman, even if they returned to the capital, they would not be able to enter the palace, not even the first gate.

How can we talk about delivering the imperial decree?
Before they were called, they had no idea that this would happen, so they didn't bring these two things with them at all. Naturally, they had to send someone back to secretly bring these two things. Of course, it would be even better if they could bring the eunuch uniforms and other things together.

This is the most important thing in escaping from Prince Lu's Mansion.

So Zhang Huai went to do it personally.

He was not confident in leaving it to other people.

Of the other three eunuchs who were delivering the imperial eunuchs, he arranged for one to remain where he was, to keep an eye on the situation and help conceal their whereabouts. The other was to take half of the silver they had and go to the kitchen purchasing staff, who were still unaware of Prince Lu's misfortune but who were expected to know the path leading out of the palace, to inquire about a way to escape secretly.

There is another one who is responsible for strolling around the Immortal Palace.

Be careful about the flow of people in and out.

When the monks and Taoist priests invited by Manager Dong come in to treat Prince Lu, it should be the best time for them to escape. If they miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for them to escape.

Meanwhile, Ding Shui's plan to locate Prince Lu's trusted aides and, through them, learn the whereabouts of his former self's trusted aides' remains went terribly wrong. After searching the palace, Ding Shui couldn't find any of them, at least not the ones from his former self's memories. Ultimately, he chose to infiltrate the memories of a seemingly high-ranking guard captain.

Want to know where Prince Lu’s confidants went?
Ding Shui was even more speechless. My goodness, this was almost as tragic as the court during the later years of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, when he was plagued by swine fever. In Liu Che's later years, those who helped the crown prince were killed, and those who helped him deal with the crown prince were also killed. And on the Prince of Lu's side, those close associates who helped the original body deal with the prince were also killed by the prince, and those close associates who helped the prince commit evil were all killed by Emperor Wu.

The instigator was truly unharmed.

The rest of the people were killed without a single piece of armor left.

No wonder many people in Prince Lu’s Mansion now have no impression of their original selves and don’t know them. It seems that almost everyone inside and outside the mansion has been replaced. These people are really miserable. If they don’t listen to Prince Lu, they may be killed by him. If they listen to Prince Lu, they may be killed by him.

He was chopped to pieces by his own father afterwards.

Anyway, you're going to die anyway.

Both father and son have committed serious sins.

"Where can I find this? It's useless to search Prince Lu's memories directly. He wouldn't care about these trivial matters, let alone know. It seems there's no way to get the relevant information directly. I can only use the original body's memories and use exhaustive methods to check the memories of those people in the original palace who were not killed one by one. Maybe there will be some clues."

Many of Prince Lu's confidants, including the former chief steward of the palace, were killed by people sent by Emperor Tianwu, but that does not mean that everyone in Prince Lu's palace was killed or replaced.

There are still many survivors.

After all, the Prince of Lu was still alive, so there was no need for the entire palace to be buried with him. Some of the less important or less cared-for people were still alive and well. For example, there were people who emptied the chamber pots, gardeners who took care of the gardens, kitchen purchasers, and other small-time people.

But who knows the news and who doesn't.

I'm not sure about Ding Shui.

We can only use the stupid method and check them one by one by exhaustive method.

Ding Shui then worked tirelessly, relying on her original body's memories, to search for the people in the palace, examining their memories one by one, hoping to find some clues. While she was busy, the palace was also bustling with activity and chaos. News about Prince Lu spread rapidly. After all, Steward Dong had only forbidden the news from being spread outside, so how could telling his colleagues count as spreading it outside?
We are all from the palace.

When you are alive, you are a person of the palace; when you die, you are a ghost of the palace!
"Have you heard? His Highness Prince Lu is possessed by an evil spirit, and now his entire body is covered with ghost-faced sores."

"Isn't he being haunted by the princess's ghost?"

"Why is what I heard different from what you said? I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Lu turned into a pig. He was cast under a spell, a curse or something."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could you turn into a pig?"

"Oh, why don't we try to make some mistakes and get exiled, or even go to the palace farm to be the headman. It feels so dangerous to serve in this palace."

"It's over. I'm afraid something really happened to the prince. I just wanted to go out to buy something, but several exits were blocked. They said you can only go in but not out. I tried to play the emotional card, but they almost cut me down."

"There's no point in playing the emotional card. They've only been transferred here for less than a month. Who would care about you if you don't have money?"

"Forget it, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

"I'm telling you, the prince is definitely possessed by an evil spirit. I can't tell you who told me this, but she's serving in the Undying Palace.

The prince first rolled on the ground in pain, tearing his clothes and scratching his body. Suddenly, his whole body was covered with blue, purple and black spots. Then his tongue suddenly grew larger, blocking his mouth and he couldn't speak. Then, both of his hands turned into pig's trotters.

There are one big and one small.

Butler Dong and Doctor Wang were both present. Doctor Wang was giving the prince an acupuncture treatment when he was slapped by the prince.

By the way, it was after the prince beat Doctor Wang that his tongue suddenly grew larger, and his hands suddenly turned into pig's trotters."

"Could it be Doctor Wang who did this?"

"Forget it, Doctor Wang doesn't have that ability."

"Could it be that the prince is possessed by some demon? A wild boar demon? In the past, when the prince was refining elixirs, didn't he often use the heart blood of tigers and leopards? Since tigers and leopards are difficult to hunt, wouldn't he sometimes use the heart blood of wild boars as a temporary substitute?"

"It seems to be the case..."

"No wonder they sent people to invite Taoist priests and monks."

"It's over, it's over. I just noticed there's a pig missing from the kitchen. It was just slaughtered not long ago and it disappeared. Could these two be related?"

"What? A pig is missing from the kitchen?"

"Should we tell Steward Dong about this?"

"How could such a coincidence happen? A pig went missing from the kitchen, and at the same time, the prince's hands turned into pig's trotters. There must be a connection. Hurry and tell Steward Dong. If they find out, you'll have a hard time explaining it."

"Who's going then?"

"Whoever finds out will go. We are not from the kitchen."
