Cui Hao had not yet recovered from Fang Cai's shock, but he was suppressed by the powerful momentum of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and lowered his hands weakly, and the conspiracy he had planned for a long time was in that kneeling, and the clues were gradually revealed.

Even if he wanted to deny it now, it was already too late. What's more, he knew very clearly that in front of the eldest princess, any disguise or hypocrisy and mischief would be in vain!

"How does Her Royal Highness know that the poisoner is a criminal?"

Cui Hao wanted to know how he was defeated.

Xiao Wan lowered his eyes and looked at Cui Hao for a moment, as if he wanted to see something on his face, and then raised his head to look at the cigarette smoke and the bright lights in the treasure hall, and suddenly remembered the sentence: The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night.

Suddenly, time flies and is fleeting. Suddenly, after so many years, some things seem to remain the same, but in fact, they are long gone!

"You have the smell of agarwood......"

Xiao Wan spit out these words lightly, but Cui Hao's body was slightly stunned.

"This is the Yong'an Temple where incense is flourishing, and it should be a very ordinary thing for the guilty minister to have agarwood on him, right?!"

"The smell of incense permeating the temple does help you disguise, but the spices used in this Yong'an Temple are all sandalwood. It's not the same as the aroma of agarwood on your body. ”

Cui Hao couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could find out about the spices, and she knew that this plan had already been seen through by Her Royal Highness the princess.

What is there in this temple that doesn't attract the attention of others?

The answer is obvious, yes, incense.

In this temple, incense is almost everywhere, so accustomed to the existence of zài, no one will pay special attention to the strangeness of incense, and the fragrance is easy to diffuse in the air, if this is used as a counter-restraint, causing toxicity in the body, almost no one can be spared, no one can escape......

Xiao Wan knew that as long as the news of the imperial grandmother Feng Jia's imminent return to Luan was released, and the speed of their implementation of the plan was suddenly interrupted, there would definitely be people who couldn't bear the silence and took the initiative to jump into the trap set by Xiao Wan.

Cui Hao is also a meticulous as the dust of the lord, hidden in the Yong'an Temple during this time, almost every day in the middle of the day to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to sweep, rain or shine, the temple is almost known to everyone.

Even Xiao Wan was almost confused by his disguise, and almost missed his slip through the net.

Today, Cui Hao also came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall as always, doing things that he was accustomed to, trying to hide from the sky and the sea, and hide people's eyes and ears.

When the Empress Dowager Feng drove back to Luan to the Daxiong Hall for the last visit, she put the agarwood prepared in advance into the bronze incense tripod in front of the hall, at that time, the fragrance of agarwood will spread far away, whether it is a member of the royal family or a guard, will lose the ability to act in a moment!

The implementation of that plan is half the battle.

Without waiting for Cui Hao's reply, Xiao Wan continued:

"The aroma of agarwood is elegant and long-lasting, which is very different from the rich aroma of sandalwood, and because of the high price of agarwood, ordinary people cannot afford agarwood. Although this Yong'an Temple is a royal temple, it will not use this kind of expensive agarwood. You're just a cleaning monk, how can you have such a precious agarwood on your body?"

Cui Hao was suddenly dumbfounded and embarrassed.

"They gave you these seven days of drunkenness, right? And this agarwood is the object of seven days of drunkenness. ”

Originally, Xiao Wan didn't know that this "seven-day drunk" restraint thing was agarwood, and it was also due to fate, if this Cui Hao didn't still get up early to sweep in front of the palace as before, Xiao Wan wouldn't know that this agarwood was the "seven-day drunk" restraint thing.

Because when she smelled the aroma of agarwood, Xiao Wan found that her internal breath was disordered, and poisoning gradually appeared in her body.

Cui Hao couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the eldest princess actually said "seven days drunk", and also mentioned them, it is conceivable that he joined forces with Duguxin and others, and he was not able to hide it from Her Royal Highness the princess.

These seven days of drunkenness were indeed believed to him by Dugu.

Seven days of drunkenness is extremely rare, with the principle of mutual restraint of all things, refined by the poisonous hand in the hundred poisons, this thing is colorless and odorless, itself is non-toxic, but can accumulate in the human body, the longer the accumulation of days, the more severe the consequences of the poison.

If the poisoned person has convulsions, spasms, and a staggering gait, it is like being drunk, and if the toxin accumulates in large quantities for seven days, he will die and have no way to recover.

Cui Hao knew that this poison was powerful, so he also controlled the weight. What he wants is to make everyone temporarily lose their ability to act, and Dugu Xin has also promised him that he will never touch the royal family, and they have only one purpose, that is, the Qingjun side and the minister!

"Cui Hao, are you guilty?"

Xiao Wan glared angrily, this person was so bold that he dared to murder the Empress Dowager, he really deserved death. Even if she wanted to spare his life out of compassion at first, it would be impossible.

Cui Hao hurriedly kowtowed to make amends, and said busily:

"The sinner knows the guilt, and the sinner knows in his heart that such an act is a crime and a heinous crime. But the guilty minister will never regret it, as long as he can get rid of the courtiers and sink the grievances for His Royal Highness the Prince, even if the criminal ministers are pierced by thousands of arrows, they will not regret their death!"

Who is the courtiers in Cui Hao's mouth?

"Shut up, it's just a strong word. You keep saying that you want to avenge the prince's brother, but you are in adultery with the governor of the state and town, committing rebellion, and committing this disloyal and unrighteous act, is this also for the prince's brother?"

Xiao Wan spoke sharply, and she would never forgive such a disorderly act, no matter who dared to do something dangerous to the court and society, she Xiao Wan would never tolerate mercy under the sword!

Cui Hao knew that he was at a loss, but he was weak and guilty, and he wanted to get rid of the traitors in the court, and hate His Royal Highness the prince and his family, so he had to join forces with Dugu Xinxu and the snake for the time being.

Cui Hao himself also knows that this move will definitely lead the wolf into the house and harm the court, but Cui Hao knows that his time is short, so he has to make a desperate gamble to make a last ditch, even if he dies, he will pull the culprit who killed His Royal Highness the Prince and his brother back then, the shameless man who should have been cut with a thousand knives and betrayed the lord to seek glory, go to Hell Yellow Spring together!

Cui Hao slammed his head to the ground, remembering the hatred of His Royal Highness the Prince, the killing of his clansmen, and the pain of being wiped out.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the guilty minister knows that he is innocent of his death, and the crime cannot be punished, the criminal minister is already a dying person, how can he take care of the life of a family, but this kind of national hatred and family hatred, do not revenge, vain as a minister, not snow, ashamed of the son of man. The guilty minister dared to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, has Your Highness forgotten the eternal grievances of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Presumptuous!"

Xiao Wan was furious, only a sound was heard in his ears, and half of the sword was taken off the scabbard, and there was a burst of cold light, grinning coldly, if it wasn't for Xiao Wan's good self-control, otherwise it would not be impossible to kill Cui Hao on the spot in a fit of anger.

Cui Hao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his body couldn't stop trembling, such a compelling momentum and death-shrouded breath suddenly made Cui Hao's soul fly away, shocked on the spot, and even forgot to kneel on the ground and ask for forgiveness.

Looking at the slender and thin figure who had been kneeling at his feet and still trembling, Xiao Wan vaguely remembered that Cui Hao, who followed Cui Tingyou all day long, was originally a slightly rounded young man.

At that time, several important Cui Tingyou of the prince's brother would consult Cui Tingyou whenever there was a major event, and this Cui Hao was also relied on by the prince's brother because of this reason.

What a high-spirited person it was then, but now......

Xiao Wan can see that now Cui Hao is obviously only in his twenties, but he is no longer human. Skinny and gray-faced, it is conceivable that he should be sick for a long time, and he does not enjoy his life, he does not hesitate to join forces with the governor of the state and town, knowing that he is seeking skin with the tiger, but he is also resolute, and he is unwilling to think about it, and the hatred is difficult to eliminate!

Cui Hao kept accusing himself of forgetting the grievances of the prince's brother, how did he know how she, the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had lived all these years?

I can't forget it, how can I forget it!

Xiao Wan's fingers holding the hilt of the sword gradually showed a bit of whiteness, and after struggling for a while, she still withdrew the sword from the scabbard, and under her Xiao Wan's sword, she only killed two kinds of people, one was the enemy who fought against herself, and the second was the rebellious person who dared to endanger the people in the world.

This Cui Hao colluded with the governor of the state town, and the law of the imperial court was indeed intolerable, but he was also the old department of the prince's brother, and their Cui family was indeed punished for the rebellion back then.

In terms of the law, Xiao Wan can't deal with Cui Hao in private, and in ethics, Xiao Wan doesn't want Cui Hao to lose his life, after all, what happened back then, Xiao Wan still wants to find out from Cui Hao's mouth.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Wan sighed and said softly:

"You, you shouldn't have come back......"

At that time, the three clans of the Cui family were wiped out, and they were miserable, although I don't know how Cui Hao escaped death, but just being able to survive is already an incredible thing.

Looking at his current appearance that no one recognizes, you know that he must have suffered a lot over the years, he is hiding so secretly, even the secret agents can't find out his whereabouts exactly, as long as he is content to be quiet in this Yong'an Temple and does not ask about the world, and spends the rest of his life in an ordinary and peaceful place, it may not be a good destination for him.

However, sometimes obsession is a double-edged sword for a person, it pushes you forward, fearless, unrepentant, but when you follow its guidance on the road, the price you need to pay is extremely heavy, along the way through thorns and thorns, bloody to the end, but in the end you find that the end of this road is a bottomless abyss......

If you take a step back, you will be infernal hell, and if you take a step forward, you will be shattered.

Xiao Wan only said lightly, and Cui Hao couldn't cry anymore.

"Your Highness, Cui Hao died a few years ago, and now kneeling in front of you is just a walking corpse......

Cui Hao's sentence expressed the infinite sorrow in his heart.

In that year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was martyred, and Cui Tingyou, the clan brother who has always supported His Royal Highness the Prince's reform and change, was also implicated and imprisoned.

Cui Hao still can't forget that night, a group of officers and soldiers broke into Cui's mansion, killed people when they saw them, and left no chickens and dogs. If it weren't for the loyalty and sacrifice of his life to protect him, he would have survived by doing this trick of Li Daitaozhuang, reversing his identity with him, and hiding him in the toilet dung pit to escape.

But the hoarse and low-sobbing cries for help that night, the hysterical shouts, and the terrible screams of dying and the sound of knives and axes all made Cui Hao constantly intrude and eat away at his heart and the only remaining sanity every day and night after the catastrophe.

In the end, he had to force Cui Hao to death with his own hands, and now he is still alive and walking around, just a walking corpse for revenge.

Cui Hao knew that he had killed His Royal Highness the Prince, exterminated the three clans of the Cui family, and slaughtered the enemies of the heroes of the revolution, not only those noble lords with prominent powers, but also those sanctimonious royal relatives, but the most hateful thing was the spy who betrayed them and lurked among them!

Although he Cui Hao couldn't shake the imperial power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he had to find the spy among them no matter what, pull him to the Huangquan Hell together, and give an explanation to the group of like-minded people with lofty ideals who were generous and went to righteousness.

Xiao Wan's eyes sank, and she had some calculations in her heart, she still knew too little about the things back then, and the people involved back then were either dead and had no proof, or they were tight-lipped about this matter, not saying a word, and keeping it secret.

It was even more difficult for Xiao Wan to find out what to hear from it. Now that Cui Hao has finally been found, she will definitely not let go of this great opportunity.

"Cui Hao, you tell Sù Bengong, ...... back then"

Before Xiao Wan finished his question, in the gray night sky, a red light suddenly pierced the sky in an instant, making a muffled sound, sparks were everywhere, and it was gorgeous and dazzling.

It was Yu Linwei's emergency fireworks, and if it weren't for the enemy, he would never have released this red fireworks.

There is an attack!

Xiao Wan's heart sank, it seems that what should come will always come.

Cui Hao saw the fireworks blooming in mid-air, and knew that it was the Yulin Guards who were in charge of the outer guards that had changed, it seemed that those people couldn't wait for their signal to reply, so they took matters into their own hands and launched an attack in advance, did they want to storm Yong'an Temple?

Cui Hao was horrified in his heart, the plan that could have avoided a sword and soldier disaster, in the eyes of that group of greedy wolves, human life was so humble that it was insignificant, since they chose to attack Yong'an Temple, they would definitely slaughter all the people in the temple, which was very different from what they promised themselves before.

Cui Hao suddenly realized that he was also used by that person, and now he dares to assassinate the current empress dowager, it is already a rebellious act, how can he tolerate the name of a person who knows the truth of the matter and is a rebel in the court?

It was already too late, Cui Hao knew that he had lured the wolf into the house, and there was no redemption for a hundred deaths, and the only thing he could do now was to drag those people as much as possible, so that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could escape from Yong'an Temple with the Empress Dowager as much as possible.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the great mistake of the guilty minister has been made, and it is difficult to turn back. The only thing the criminal minister can do is to swear to protect Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and beg Her Royal Highness the princess to leave Yong'an Temple with the empress dowager as soon as possible, otherwise if you are one step too late, a catastrophe will come!"

Even though he heard Cui Hao's warning, Xiao Wan did not see half a look of horror on his face, and he had the spirit of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face, which made Cui Hao secretly surprised when he saw it.

"Cui Hao, do you know that this ambush soldier has been lying in ambush near Yong'an Temple?"

Hearing Her Royal Highness the Princess's rhetorical question, Cui Hao looked ashamed, knowing that there was no need to hide it for a long time, so he nodded and said frankly:

"You know, the sinners are their inner ones. Originally, according to the plan, they would wait for the signal from the criminal ministers to attack the Yong'an Temple......"

Xiao Wan heard the meaning of Cui Hao's words, those people attacked Yong'an Temple before they received Cui Hao's signal, thinking that Cui Hao's life and death had already been put out of the way, and Cui Hao was just a pawn used by others.

With a sneer, Xiao Wan immediately asked:

"Who does this troop belong to?

I don't know why, Cui Hao was made to shudder by Xiao Wan's sneer, how dare he hide it, and hurriedly responded:

"That army is not a regular army, it is a group of reckless people, about 300 people. ”

"But they all belong to your 'Panlong'?"

When she heard the princess ask, she actually said the name of 'Panlong', and she knew that the princess must have found out the relationship between Panlong and herself, not only was she sweating, but she hurriedly shook her head and denied it:

"He didn't trust the criminals very much, so the people he used were the dead men they had privately recruited......"

Also, if it is the people of Panlong, their leaders are still in Yong'an Temple, how dare they act rashly and attack Yong'an Temple like this.

"Charm. ”

No longer looking at Cui Hao, Xiao Wan turned around and shouted, and then a strange figure wearing a black hood and cloak, and the whole person was shrouded in the cloak, suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Wan, kneeling on one knee, looking very deferential, only listening to this person's words:

"The subordinates are here. ”

"How many ambushes are there at the bottom of the mountain?"

"Three hundred people, indeed the rivers and lakes are reckless, not generals in the army, a radius of 100 miles, there is no backup. The five hundred Imperial Forest Army on the periphery couldn't resist for long, and the chaotic army that attacked Yong'an Temple used agarwood ......"

Hearing this, Cui Hao was as silent as death.

Her Royal Highness the Princess obviously knows everything, but she still has to ask herself, if she hides it a little, probably Her Royal Highness the Princess will deal with him mercilessly.

And Xiao Wan just looked at the direction where the spark gradually disappeared, and said:

"The five hundred Imperial Forest Army can't be used anymore, and all the people you have gathered have already arrived?"

"All of them have been ordered, and they are waiting in the outer court, and they are only obeying the orders of the Lord. ”

"Good. Yong'an Temple has been besieged, with this small team to break through the fear of halfway change, the Imperial Forest Army fireworks warning, want to come to the DPRK will soon send troops to respond, now only to static braking, to the same response to all changes is the best policy. Mei, you immediately go and tell Aunt Luo Xia that the Imperial Grandmother and several princesses will retreat to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and close the door to defend themselves, and I and the generals will escort you outside the palace, and we will never let the enemy army enter the Debao Hall for a single step. ”

"Yes!"

"And ...... Protect Cui Hao, don't teach him to be injured, otherwise, I will ask you. ”

"Honorable Order!"

After Mei respectfully clasped her fists and saluted, she wanted to take Cui Hao to a safe place, Cui Hao was grateful for the protection of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and all the words came to her mouth but she didn't know what to say, so she could only bow her head in shame and be silent.

"Cui Hao, I have never forgotten the wrongful death of the prince's brother, and I still have a lot of things to ask you personally, so no matter what, you can't die, can you hear clearly?"

When Cui Hao heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and when he heard that Her Royal Highness the princess had the intention of clearing the unjust case of the year, Cui Hao had mixed feelings, and was so excited that he kowtowed, and said earnestly, saying:

"The sinner doesn't dare to die lightly, but it will be disposed of by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Xiao Wan waved his hand, only said one sentence, and said:

"With the charm, go down......"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Cui Hao looked at the resolute and upright figure of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she was obviously just a woman, but her bold decision-making and strategic martial arts were the first person he Cui Hao had seen in his life.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, it was nothing more than that.

Cui Hao unconsciously gave birth to a little hope, if Her Royal Highness the princess is willing to thoroughly investigate the case of the prince's rebellion, then the day when Her Royal Highness the prince clears his grievances will not be too far away, and the blood and sacrifice of their Cui family and other heroes will become valuable.

Turning around, he left the front of the palace with the shadow guard named Charm, and when a person dressed like this appeared in front of him, Cui Hao guessed that this might be the shadow guard unique to the royal family, because back then, he had also seen the shadow guard who guarded His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was also dressed in such a black robe, he couldn't see his face, and his behavior was strange and unpredictable.

After staying far away, Cui Hao was a little worried about whether Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would be able to deal with this reckless group of 300 people, this group of people is not only from the rivers and lakes, but all of them are exiles, killing people without blinking, murderous and without conscience.

Originally, the five hundred forest guards on the periphery were enough to deal with this enemy army, but they all fell into the poison of "seven days drunk", and this poison was originally prepared by that person and handed it to him, and now I think that this person's strategy and calculation are far beyond the reach of ordinary people, so the ghost plots and hates, if you don't make a move, you will be killed, and if you make a move, you will be killed, just with his Cui Hao's cleverness, how can the fire of fireflies compete with Haoyue?

So far, Cui Hao can only pray that today's catastrophe can be spent safely, and when the dust settles, no matter what Her Royal Highness the princess wants to do with him, he is willing, bows his head and confesses his guilt, and dies calmly to apologize for his crimes.

Cui Hao remembered that Mei had said that he had brought a group of men and horses for Her Royal Highness the Princess, thinking that Her Royal Highness the Princess had urgently recruited reinforcements from outside, and to deal with three hundred enemies, at least five hundred men and horses standing like the Royal Forest Army had to come to the rescue to stabilize the shape.

But the question is, if there are really 500 rescues, how can they break through the Yong'an Temple that the hundreds of people and horses who are besieged outside, and since they are here, why not kill the thieves on the spot and sneak into the Yong'an Temple in advance, isn't this a superfluous move?

What's more, this group of people came quietly, and if there were really so many people, it would be impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of the besieged people, and it stands to reason that someone should have come to tell them a long time ago......

Cui Hao couldn't suppress the uneasiness in his heart, hurriedly stopped the charm in front of him, hugged his fists and saluted, and asked:

"Lord Mei, I wonder if you can tell me how many reinforcements Her Royal Highness the Princess has?"

Cui Hao was worried about the princess's comfort, but it was inconvenient to ask too much about other things, so he only asked about the number of reinforcements.

Mei was silent for a moment, thinking that it would be okay to answer this question at this time, and continued to walk forward without stopping, and then said lightly, saying:

"Fifty ......"

......
