I really became a king.

Chapter 352 Jiang Yi's Backhand

This night was no different for everyone. Just like any other night, they went to bed on time and woke up to start a new day.

But on the second day, almost everyone noticed the difference in the Dali Imperial Capital.

Although the day was prosperous, it was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Gradually, word of last night's events spread, and the entire Dali Imperial City suddenly became lively. There were three things that people talked about with great relish in the streets and alleys.

The first thing was naturally about Prince Yi Jiang Yi. Just last night, the entire lineage of Prince Yi's mansion disappeared collectively, and no one knew where they went.

This matter was widely circulated. Some people said that the entire lineage of Prince Yi's Mansion had been secretly wiped out by the Dali Dynasty because Prince Yi had been too aggressive in recent years.

Not only did he offend his empress and grandmother, he also contradicted the Emperor of Dali many times, and offended many other bad people in various ways, both openly and covertly.

Therefore, it is not impossible that multiple forces could join forces to wipe it out.

But in the eyes of most people, this statement is just a rumor. In a sense, Prince Yi has become a banner of secular martial arts and has a high prestige in the eyes of secular martial artists. Even the Emperor of Dali does not dare to erase him casually.

Another version is that Prince Yi Jiang Yi had rebelled against the imperial capital of Dali after a fierce battle with Queen Ye's faction last night.

After all, many people knew that hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched last night. Moreover, the troops were divided into two groups, one group went straight to Kongtong Yiwang Mansion, and the other group surrounded Wushengling.

Those who insisted on this statement were even more confident, because after the battle at Wushengling, only tens of thousands of people were left in the entire Yiwang Mansion.

After much difficulty, they managed to break out of the encirclement, but Prince Yi Jiang Yi, in a rage, led his troops to rebel against the Dali Dynasty.

However, not many people believe this statement. This is the capital of Dali, the core of the entire Dali Dynasty. There are heavy troops gathered around it, and mere tens of thousands of people cannot make any waves at all.

If Prince Yi really dared to rebel, he would probably be killed immediately.

Another theory is that Prince Jiang Yi of Daliyi is the reincarnation of a person with great supernatural powers. He was surrounded and killed by hundreds of thousands of troops in Wusheng Ridge. At the moment of crisis, he used his great supernatural powers to cross the void.

Logically speaking, this statement should be the most incredible one and the fewest people should believe it, but the result is just the opposite. The vast majority of people firmly believe it.

Compared with the first two statements, this one was the most credible. That night, Jiang Yi became more mysterious in the eyes of many people, and even made many people start to be in awe of him.

The following two events also indirectly proved this statement.

The second thing is that the Dali Palace was attacked last night, and the palace that was attacked was the Shuliu Palace of Queen Dali. I heard that the entire Shuliu Palace collapsed as a result.

The usually noble Queen Dali was suddenly attacked and fled to the sky above the Dali Palace in a miserable state. It was said that she stared in the direction of Wusheng Ridge with gritted teeth all night long.

As for who was responsible for the attack, although everyone remained silent, they all knew in their hearts that apart from Prince Yi, no one else would dare to do such a thing.

This was the first time that the Dali Palace had been attacked since the Dali Dynasty was founded, and it was the Queen's bedroom.

There was even news that the attack was launched by Prince Yi Jiang Yi on the Five Sacred Ridge. The attack was far away in the air and directly passed through the double formation of the Dali Imperial Capital and the Dali Imperial Palace, destroying the Queen's Shuliu Palace.

From such a long distance, he treated the city defense formation as nothing. How could he have done that unless he was the reincarnation of a powerful being?

However, people in the entire Dali Imperial Capital only dared to discuss this matter in private. After all, everyone knew that the always aloof Queen Dali was furious about this, and no one wanted to offend her.

The third thing should be the one with the least presence, but it is the one that people talk about the most. Whether it is the meritorious nobles or the common people, everyone is talking about it.

Because compared with the sensitivity of the first two incidents, although this incident is also a royal matter, it is a kind of gossip.

"Was the Seventeenth Prince's Consort really kidnapped by Prince Yi?" A passerby asked in disbelief at a teahouse in the market.

Another passerby at the same table took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth casually with his palm, and replied: "How can this be fake? It is true. Many people in the imperial capital have seen it with their own eyes!"

"Not only did I see it, but I also heard Prince Yi's roar..." someone said.

“That can’t be possible… If I remember correctly, the seventeenth prince should be Prince Yi’s uncle, right?” the man hesitated.

"Yes, the Seventeenth Prince and Prince Duan are brothers from the same mother, and are Prince Yi's uncle."

"Then isn't the seventeenth prince's consort Prince Yi's aunt?"

"Yes."

"Then... isn't this a generation gap?"

"Yes."

"Why is Prince Yi so bold? Isn't he afraid of being drowned by the spit of the world?"

"Because it's exciting!" The second passerby slapped his legs hard, picked up the teacup and gulped down a large cup, then started talking again.

But before he said that, he stretched his neck to look around, but didn't find anything unusual around him, so he asked with a sly look, "Do you know who the seventeenth prince's concubine is?"

Seeing that everyone around him was shaking their heads, he whispered with a little pride: "This imperial concubine was the seventeenth prince's wet nurse..."

"Wet nurse? Isn't this a generation difference?" The passerby in front frowned.

"Hehe, I don't know yet... She is nominally a wet nurse, but it is said that her real identity is the aunt of the Seventeenth Prince, and the younger sister of the current Queen!"

"Fuck..." The passerby who had been looking serious all along exclaimed in astonishment, and without waiting for others to urge him, he immediately said with shining eyes:
"Is it so exciting? Tell me in detail..."

This caused a lot of contempt from the people around him. They thought he was a gentleman, but he turned out to be a serious and stuffy girl. However, no one really cared about this. Instead, they looked at him more favorably because he was a fellow traveler.

"Hehe, this is a secret, most people definitely don't know it..." The second passerby also started talking about it with great interest.

"The seventeenth prince's consort is also from the Ye family of Bailing, and is the younger sister of the current queen. However, there is a big age difference between her and the seventeenth prince, but she is only ten years younger than him..."

"What are you talking about? How can she become a wet nurse with only a ten-year age difference? Does she start breastfeeding at the age of ten?" The first passerby questioned dissatisfiedly.

But he was immediately met with angry glares from the people around him. The other party reacted immediately, slapped themselves hard on the face, and said with a smile: "Brother, please continue... please continue..." with a sullen look on their face.

"Speaking of which, this prince's wife is also a pitiful person. She originally had a child, but unfortunately the child died young. It happened that the seventeenth prince was already seven or eight years old at that time, so the queen brought this sister from her hometown in Bailing to the imperial capital to be the seventeenth prince's wet nurse."

"No way? He's already seven or eight years old and still drinking milk?"

The one who interrupted was the first passerby, but this time he was not glared at by the crowd. Instead, they looked at him with appreciation. Even the second passerby who was explaining the whole story looked at him with satisfaction, as if to say: Brother, you get the point... Then he said slowly: "This is where the peculiarity of this prince's consort comes from..."

Suddenly, everyone around pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"It is said that the current queen's sister has had a strange fragrance since she was young. It is not the ordinary body fragrance, but the kind of fragrance that makes people smell sweet and refreshing. Especially after giving birth to a child, this fragrance has become more mellow, especially the breast milk is even more mellow..."

"It also has a miraculous effect. It can help people keep their minds clear and alert. Drinking it is as sweet as alcohol, but drinking it is as poisonous as poison..."

"This is addictive..." The first passerby smacked his lips.

The people around nodded in unison when they heard this, and they looked at this passerby with even better favor. It was true that one cannot judge a book by its cover; he looked like a serious person, but his speaking skills were surprisingly high.

"Since her milk is so miraculous and she was born and raised in the Ye family in Bailing, how could her child die?" someone asked curiously.

"Hehe, who can tell the truth about such a noble family..."

"Yes, keep talking."

"Unexpectedly, within a few years, the Seventeenth Prince fell in love with his aunt, and then, with the support of the current queen, he married her as his imperial concubine."

"Over the past few years, he has always treated her as his precious child. He was afraid that she would freeze if he held her in his hands, and that she would melt if he held her in his mouth. Alas, although this imperial concubine is an unparalleled beauty, and has a well-behaved personality, she is the type who will hold back her tears and submit to others even if she clearly doesn't like them... I heard that the seventeenth prince fainted after vomiting a mouthful of black blood..."

"Is that so? She is truly a peerless beauty. I'm afraid no man can resist such temptation!" The first passerby smacked his lips again. "No wonder Prince Yi dared to risk the world's condemnation. I'm afraid he has been coveting her for a long time..."

"But this Prince Yi is too lustful."

"Yes, it's absolutely audacious."

"And he's really lewd!"

"But from now on, I'm afraid Prince Yi will never be able to take off the hat of a lustful man..." someone finally sighed, but no one took it seriously.

This small tea stall in the market is just a microcosm of the matter. Almost the entire Dali Imperial City is talking about this matter.

Although the news spread throughout the entire Dali Imperial Capital, the Dali Imperial Family did not give any explanation. Even the Dali Emperor remained in seclusion from beginning to end, as if he was completely unaware of the shocking events that occurred that night.

But many people have already sensed that, although the Dali Imperial Capital looks calm on the surface, there are already turbulent waves secretly. Large armies are rushing out from the suburbs of the Dali Imperial Capital, seemingly searching for something.

And as time goes by, this trend will soon sweep across the entire Dali Dynasty.

After all, Prince Yi is still burdened with a series of charges, and now he has added the crime of treason, although all of this was decreed by the Queen.

But as long as the Emperor of Dali does not speak out, Prince Yi will have to bear the crime of treason forever.

"Investigate! Even if we have to turn the entire Dali Dynasty upside down, we must find him!"

"At the same time, an imperial decree is sent to all prefectures of the Dali Dynasty. Prince Yi has deceived the emperor and murdered his mother... His crimes are extremely serious and all military power and titles must be stripped away!"

"Anyone who dares to shield me will be killed along with his entire clan!"

In a luxurious palace in the Dali Imperial Palace, Ye Xinmei was no longer as noble as before, and gave orders with a ferocious look on her face.

As time went on, more and more news came out.

For example, besides the tens of thousands of trusted soldiers under Prince Yi's command, also disappeared with Luofu Kongtong Mountain and Prince Yi's Palace on Kongtong Mountain. It is said that they were captured by Prince Yi.

There is another thing. After Prince Yi disappeared mysteriously, the seventeenth prince Jiang Che went crazy and started arresting people on a large scale. Anyone who had any connection with Prince Yi, Jiang Yi, was among those arrested.

But after working for most of the day, he didn't catch anyone.

The Mi Mansion in the East City of the Dali Imperial Capital was now empty, along with all the maids and servants who had disappeared.

Prince Duan's palace was also empty, leaving only a huge empty shell of a palace.

The farm by the Lishui Lake in the imperial suburbs was also empty, and the Princess Shang, who always called herself Madam Mi, was nowhere to be found.

There were also several families who moved out to set up their own households after the Prince Duan's Mansion was divided, and all their houses were empty.

This left Jiang Che with nowhere to vent his anger. He thought of the Yun family in Heshuo, so he asked his mother for an imperial decree and sent a trusted eunuch to lead his troops to attack Heshuo City.

With the lesson learned from the Five Sacred Ridges, he now cherishes his life even more. Especially before he finds his imperial nephew, he will never set foot outside the imperial capital of Dali again.

Of course, there are some people he cannot touch even if he wants to, such as Jiang Huan, Ning Donglai, Yishan, Jiang Mo and others. Even their mother dare not act rashly against these people.

Just when he had no place to vent his anger, Jiang Che received a piece of news that the mother and son who were imprisoned in an oasis somewhere in the imperial suburbs by Prince Yi were not taken away.

He led his men directly to kill them. This time it went smoothly because there was no one guarding the place.

"Nephew greets the Emperor's uncle!"

A young boy of eight or nine years old came out and knelt down in front of Jiang Che. It was Jiang Zhongshuo, the seventh son of Prince Duan.

"You didn't follow him?" Jiang Che said coldly, looking at the small figure kneeling on the ground.

"Prince Yi openly disobeyed the Queen Mother and even attempted to commit murder on her. He and I are no longer the same kind of people. Moreover, since the day he imprisoned my mother and me, we are no longer brothers but mortal enemies!" Although Jiang Zhongshuo is young, he looks calm and composed, but his words are cruel and heartless.

At this time, a beautiful woman in Qing Dynasty clothes walked out of the courtyard, bowed to Jiang Che, and said pitifully: "Uncle, please make the decision for us mother and son..." After saying this, she was about to cry.

Looking at the mother and son in front of him, especially the identity of the beautiful woman in light clothes who looked tearful and pitiful, Jiang Che felt a surge of evil fire in his heart.

In any case, this is the only person he has found so far who is related to Prince Yi's Mansion, and the relationship is not shallow. Maybe he can vent his anger.

Seeing Jiang Che's sinister eyes, Jiang Zhongshuo clenched his hands tightly, but finally lowered his eyes. As for the beautiful woman in Qing Dynasty costume, her face was flushed with shame.

After all, being imprisoned is not a pleasant experience, and the mother and son don't want to live such a hard life anymore.

In the distance, two figures watched this scene silently, shook their heads, turned around and walked away, rubbing their hands gently, but the antidote left by the prince was no longer useful.

Not long after the two left, a piece of news quickly spread that the seventeenth prince Jiang Che, in order to vent his anger, came to Jiang Zhongshuo and his mother and forced them to death...
