In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

Wang Qin did not ask Qi Wan who replaced the third prince.

He secretly speculated in his heart that perhaps General Qi sent people to the dungeon to replace the third prince.

Maybe it was Qin Gaoming who had his legs broken by the Third Prince.

His mother was a legitimate princess, and he was a third-rank official in the Zongzheng Temple. He had connections everywhere, and it was an easy task for him to order people to replace the third prince in the dungeon.

Thinking of this, Wang Qin smiled slightly and said to Qi Wan, "So it's him now. No wonder you insisted on going to watch the execution."

Qi Wan snorted and cursed softly: "That damn guy, giving him poison wine to commit suicide is too kind."

Wang Qin nodded repeatedly in agreement and said firmly, "The traitors who colluded with foreign princes to send troops should be punished most severely. Cutting them into pieces is not too much."

What's more, the third prince had been plotting against Awan for two whole years, which resulted in Awan being unable to get married.

Wang Qin couldn't help but feel a little confused. If the third prince had not plotted against Awan, then who would she be betrothed to?

He had learned from Wu Yi that three young men from prominent families had asked official media to propose to Awan.

Thinking of this, Wang Qin felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Qi Wan also remembered the guess in his heart: "Brother Qin is twenty-one years old, he should have a wife and concubines." He felt a little depressed.

She wanted to ask him in person, but felt it was inappropriate. Asking would reveal her true feelings, so she lowered her head and pulled at her handkerchief.

Wang Qin looked at her silently, with a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Silence fell over them, as if time had stood still.

Qi Wan felt awkward and uneasy, not knowing how to break the deadlock.

She decided to find an opportunity to talk to Brother Qin again and solve the mystery.

"If Brother Qin gets married, I will bless him." Qi Wan said to himself.

The carriage stopped at the left corner of the execution ground. Qi Wan lifted a corner of the curtain and saw a sea of ​​people in front of him. He could not see the situation on the execution ground at all.

Wang Qin stretched out his hand and gestured outside.

Wu Yi stepped forward, took out a piece of silver, and asked a man occupying a spot on an oxcart, "Can I buy the spot you're occupying?"

"Okay, no problem." The man took the silver and readily gave up the land he had occupied early.

The carriage went in and stopped, and the execution ground could be clearly seen from inside the carriage.

She saw Gou Fa being dragged up by the guards, and he was the first one to be stripped naked and tied to a wooden pillar.

He struggled continuously, his face filled with horror and fear, his mouth was stuffed with cloth, so he couldn't even make a sound.

Some of the imperial guards guarding outside the execution ground participated in the trial. When they saw Gou Fa's body, they were puzzled: "Gou Fa was beaten all over by us, but how come this man is white and clean without any scars except for his face?"

An imperial physician recognized him, "The way the broken leg is bandaged, it looks like it belongs to the Third Prince."

After the Crown Prince saw Gou Fa clearly, he touched the Second Prince with his wrist and said with a smile, "Look, this man looks like Qi Yigui, even the red birthmark on his chest looks like him."

The second prince looked at it carefully, his eyes widened, and his lips were pressed into a straight line. After a while, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "There are many people with birthmarks like this."

The Crown Prince used to go to the hot springs with the Third Prince often. They played and had fun together and had a very close relationship.

Therefore, the prince was very familiar with the physical characteristics of the third prince. When he saw Gou Fa's figure, he couldn't help but have a bold guess in his mind: Could this person be Wang Yigui?

After all, Gou Fa's figure was exactly the same as that of the Third Prince, which made the Crown Prince begin to doubt his true identity. Thinking of this, a gloating smile unconsciously appeared on the Crown Prince's face.

He muttered to himself, "That's better!"

He cursed inwardly, "Wang Yigui dared to plot against me to become the crown prince, he should be cut into pieces."

The second prince, who was standing aside, showed no emotion, but was extremely nervous inside. His hands were sweating, his back was cold, and he forced himself to remain calm.

He was extremely frightened and uneasy about the fact that the third prince was secretly swapped to the execution ground and was tortured to death. It was unbelievable that such a thing could happen in the royal family, that a prince was swapped and died so tragically.

The second prince guessed in his heart:

"Was it the prince's doing?"

"Was it Princess Changning who did this?"

"Is it Qin Gaoming?"

Whether or not anyone recognized him at this time, Gou Fa was actually the third prince.

Everyone held the view that less trouble is worse than more, and no one spoke out to doubt that this person was a scoundrel.

When the Third Prince was dragged to the execution ground and tied up to be skinned alive, he finally understood the real intention of the masked man in black last night who first beat him beyond recognition and then moved him to the big room.

He realized it was too late.

He regretted it very much, "I shouldn't have waited for dawn last night, but should have tried to attract people's attention, or someone could recognize me in time and rescue me."

He asked himself again and again in his heart:

"Who is he?"

"Who is he?"

The executioner cut the third prince with a knife, and he felt so much pain that he wished he could die immediately.

Compared to the leg pain he had before, it was not even one ten-thousandth of it.

It hurts when the knife cuts the flesh, and the place that is cut hurts even more. The pain is endless and lingering.

The third prince's life was cut off piece by piece.

When the Third Prince was about to die, a vision appeared before his eyes:

He listened to Military Advisor Ren's advice and joined forces with Lan Ting to successfully marry the eldest daughter of the Qi family as his princess. He did not even enter the bridal chamber, but directly imprisoned Qi Wan in the Buddhist temple, forcing the Qi family to work for him and help him ascend to the throne.

A few months later, taking advantage of his father's illness, he bribed the palace maids to poison his father to death and put the blame on the prince. With the support of Prime Minister Pei and the Qi family, he became the emperor.

The first thing he did after taking office was to send Qi's father to fight against foreign tribes and promote his own people in the court. After he became more powerful, he got rid of Prime Minister Pei and wiped out the entire Qi family.

His queen, Qi, was shot to death with arrows on a rainstorm day by his order.

"You let me be shot to death by arrows, I will let you be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."

When the Third Prince was dying, he finally understood the meaning of this sentence and guessed who had set him up to be executed.

"How did she do it?" He hung his head and died with this question in mind.
