Chapter 3114 - 3115: The King’s Blessing

Chapter 3114: Chapter 3115: The King’s Blessing

Not all white doves fly away permanently. Some will fly to ordinary folks’ homes, symbolizing that they have received the royal blessing from the former king, thus benefiting their descendants.

Of course, these are just legends with a favorable meaning.

Today is the fifth day of releasing white doves, and after seven days, a national funeral must be held to lay the king to rest. Thus, the second prince sent a pigeon message, declaring he would definitely return to Gaochang on the seventh day.

"Look, why are all these white doves flying in one direction?" Someone in the market pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

"Is this direction heading to someone’s home?" Another person widened their eyes, "Quick, let’s see whose household is so favored. There must be at least twenty or so doves."

"Hurry, let’s go catch some good luck."

"..."

In a corner of the bustling market, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged knowing smiles; they could continue watching the spectacle.

They followed the crowd heading in the direction the doves were flying. They knew the way because Ruozhu had sent Jianqi to place things on the mansion’s rooftop.

It’s not quite poison, precisely speaking, it’s two kinds of mutually attracting poisons.

The drug is called Lovestring, and Ao Song and the Astrologer fed it to the doves before dawn. The rooftop was sprinkled with a substance called Attracting Love, which targets those affected by Lovestring and is also effective on humans.

Attracting Love functions like an antidote to Lovestring, possessing a fatal attraction to those who are affected. Consuming it neutralizes Lovestring, and even through thorough investigation, no traces are found.

Very soon, the white doves settled on a mansion’s rooftop, cooing and refusing to leave.

A large crowd of curious citizens gathered at this location but quickly discovered this mansion was sizable, yet no plaque was hung, suggesting it belonged to a wealthy family, but why was there no plaque?

This location was precisely the Chai Family’s West Garden. Because it was on the west side of the main mansion, the Chai Family’s steward referred to it as the West Garden, but also because it was a secret private estate of the Chai Family, outsiders did not know.

"Reporting to the Second Prince, many citizens have arrived outside to see the doves." The Second Prince’s guard hurriedly came to report in the backyard.

The Second Prince pushed away the beauty beside him, causing her to fall to the ground with a frightened scream.

"Shut up!" The Second Prince flipped off the bed, his tone icy, as he stepped on the beauty’s back.

This time, the beauty dared not make another sound, biting her lip hard to endure the pain in her back. She knew that even if the Second Prince was as gentle as water last night, the next moment he might chop off her head, like the previous Lady Liu.

The Second Prince donned his clothes, opened the door, and looked out. Indeed, white doves had landed on the rooftop of the main courtyard not far away.

His eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Why did they fly here?"

"They, they say it’s His Majesty’s divine manifestation..." The guard hadn’t finished speaking when he let out a cry of pain, kicked in the chest by the Second Prince and sent flying.

"Nonsense! If he could manifest, how could he be murdered?" The Second Prince’s expression turned fierce, "It’s clearly the work of an intentional person. Have Chai Chen investigate!"

"Yes, I will go immediately." The guard clutched his chest, got up without making a sound, and turned to leave.

The beauty in the room had already dressed, trembling and retreating to the side.

"You may go now." The Second Prince’s tone softened quite a bit; he was very pleased with the beauty’s quiet demeanor.

"Yes, your humble servant takes leave." The beauty said in a soft voice, performed a bow, and withdrew.

Unexpectedly, she had just left the backyard when she was suddenly intimidated by the scene ahead...
