Chapter 484: Accident
With just one glance, the man staggered Chu Yunsheng's gaze.
Who is this man?
Although Chu Yunsheng was sure that he had not seen this person before, the feeling of this person gave her was becoming more and more familiar, even if there was no verbal communication between them, even if they were separated by such a distance, this familiarity had already made Chu Yunsheng feel frightened.
"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know about this matter, it has nothing to do with the concubine, and I ask Your Majesty to believe the concubine. β
In the quiet hall, Concubine Jing's cry rang out suddenly.
But seeing her stumble up from King Wei's side as if she were an afterthought, and then fell to her knees on the ground, crying and explaining, while keeping kowtowing.
At this time, King Wei's expression was more than terrifying.
His eyes looked at Concubine Jing coldly.
If his eyes could kill like a knife at this time, he was afraid that Concubine Jing at this time would have already been cut by a thousand knives under his gaze.
"You say, this matter has nothing to do with you?"
King Wei's voice was also cold, with a suffocating murderous aura, like a Shura coming out of hell in this quiet hall.
It's getting weirder and more terrifying.
Hearing a bang, I saw him raise his foot and kick at Concubine Jing's shoulder, and directly kicked Concubine Jing down the jade steps, after this kick, he still felt unrelieved, and raised his hand to pick up the fruit plate on the table and threw it at Concubine Jing, and scolded: "You said that this matter has nothing to do with you?! Who just said that these dancing girls were the best music shops in the capital of the Wei Wang? Why does it have nothing to do with you now?"
Concubine Jing was hit by a fruit bowl, although she didn't see a wound, but it had already made her oath a mess, and she couldn't care about these at this time, she only kowtowed to King Wei vigorously, and begged for mercy: "The concubine is loyal to Your Majesty, this time someone must be trying to frame the concubine, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubine, if the concubine really wants to murder Your Majesty, how could she come up with such a clumsy way, and please Your Majesty to be clear, the concubine is wronged......"
Looking at Concubine Jing's embarrassed posture of kneeling there begging for mercy, where was there still a little bit of the look of spirit when she faced He Yueying and Chunxiao before.
But King Wei didn't seem to listen to her words at all, he raised his hand and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to come forward and hold Concubine Jing away, and then said coldly: "I was so fortunate to you before, but you secretly wanted to murder Gu, and someone framed you? In this palace, who else can frame you? Clumsy methods? Although it seems clumsy, as long as you succeed today, I'm afraid that it will already be as you want, and now Lone is a corpse lying here! You slut!"
As he spoke, King Wei stood up angrily, flicked his sleeves violently, and said to the two guards holding Concubine Jing: "Escort Lonely, go to death row, and behead in a few days!"
Hearing this, the two immediately took the order and dragged Concubine Jing out one left and one right.
And when she heard King Wei's order, Concubine Jing's whole person was like a pool of stagnant water, and she was paralyzed in place, and it was not until the two guards dragged her to the door of the main hall that she seemed to react, and cried out violently: "The concubine is wronged, please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, the concubine is wronged, Your Majestyββ"
She had been taken far away, but her terrible cries still echoed in the hall.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng's mood was also a little complicated for a while.
Although she had already been very disappointed in King Wei, she couldn't help but be more disappointed in him when she saw him disposing of Concubine Jing.
Because a discerning person saw it, he knew that this matter really had nothing to do with Concubine Jing, she was just trying to compete for performance in front of King Wei and wanted to invite credit.
After all, she is dependent on King Wei and exists, and her mother's family has gained infinite glory because of her, but they have no real power, and her younger brother is just Zhou Hou, and now Zhou Hou is dead.
If there is no Wei Wang, she will be like a silk flower without support, and the end can be imagined, so she will not be the mastermind behind the scenes, even if it is, then she will not be stupid enough to use this means, not to mention that if the matter is revealed, what will be the bleak end waiting for her, even if the matter is successful, Wei Wang dies, and the one waiting for her will not have a better end.
However, under the rage, King Wei didn't seem to think so much, he wholeheartedly decided that it was Concubine Jing's fault, even if this woman was still deep in his heart before, he held her to the sky, and even promised her a full of glory, but in a blink of an eye, because of a suspicion, he directly beat her into the hell of Ah Bi.
How can such a person be worthy of Chunxiao's affection.
How can he be his little uncle?
Chu Yunsheng sneered in his heart, but at the same time, he was also thinking about who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
The first time she saw the dancing girl make a move, the figure of He Rong that first appeared in her mind.
After all, just today, He Rong is still discussing with Tang Duyun to join forces to destroy the country, if King Wei dies at this time, the country will be in chaos, and when the time comes, there is no need for the armies of Yan and Zhao to take action, and the royal family has withered Wei Guo will inevitably fall into a civil war for imperial power, and then Yan Zhao only needs to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Therefore, from the moment the dancing girl made a move, to the time when she fell in a pool of blood and finally died, Chu Yunsheng did not forget to observe the expressions of He Rong and Tang Duyun, but when he saw Tang Duyun make a move, there was also a trace of surprise in his eyes, obviously, he did not know about this matter in advance.
However, He Rong has been calm and calm from beginning to end, and he seems to be out of the way for the development of this whole thing. This made Chu Yunsheng very incomprehensible, whether he was the driving force behind the scenes, or whether all this was just a coincidence, and there was someone else behind it.
Also, who will be the one who came to the rescue at the most critical moment?
In this case, even if this matter was not planned by He Rong and Tang Duyun, but from their standpoint, they would be happy to see that King Wei was successfully assassinated, so even if the two of them have the ability to save King Wei from the hands of that dancing girl, they should not come to the rescue, then the rest are the envoys of Chu and the courtiers of Wei Guo.
At this time, if a certain courtier of Wei Guo rescued Wei Wang, then he would have stood up as soon as possible, and which would have missed such an opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service.
Therefore, even if Chu Yunsheng's intuition is put aside, according to the inference, the rest of the people who may make a move can only be the people of Chu State.
Because, at this time, the last person who wants King Wei to have anything to do with her should be Chu State.
Once the Wei Kingdom is in chaos, it will only be a matter of time before it falls into the hands of Yan Zhao, at that time, the Zhao State will dominate the world more and more, and it will be difficult for the Chu State to compete with the Zhao State.
Since Concubine Jing was taken away, the hall fell into silence again.
No one spoke at this time.
King Wei's anger also subsided a lot after disposing of Concubine Jing, and he waved his hand at the attendant next to him, so that someone dared to come forward and drag the body of the dancing girl down.
Since she was brought down, the blood infected in front of the jade steps was cleaned up, in fact, it was only a short period of time, and the courtiers in the main hall felt that life was like a year.
King Wei glanced at the ministers, at this time he was no longer interested in drinking and having fun, he looked at the prince of Yan Kingdom, and said with a little apology on his face: "I didn't expect such a farce today, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the envoys of various countries see the joke." β
Hearing this, Tang Duyun smiled and said: "Just now, it really scared me, fortunately, Your Majesty is fine, this is also a blessing, but this matter is not trivial, please Your Majesty strictly investigate and track down the murderer behind the scenes." β
King Wei nodded, then raised his hand and patted the armrest on the dragon chair and said: "This is natural, Lone will never let go of such a big and evil person, Zhou Fang, Lone is fully responsible for this matter, and you must give Lone a result within seven days, otherwise, you will come to see you." β
Before King Wei's voice fell, he saw a middle-aged man who was sitting on the seat of Wei Guo's courtiers stunned, and then he quickly got up and received the will.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of a report outside the hall, and the eunuch who came to play the report trotted all the way into the hall, and only after getting the answer of King Wei did he say: "Report to Your Majesty, General Wang Cheng has just gone." β
The voice was not loud, but the meaning in these words was enough to silence the people in the hall again.
Hearing this, King Wei was also stunned, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground with a fierce murderous aura and said, "What did you say? Say it again?"
The eunuch who played the report was stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed his head deeper and deeper into the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The news just came from the General's Mansion that General Wang Cheng has gone. β
Hearing this, King Wei still seemed to be a little incredulous, his hands subconsciously clenched their fists, looked at the eunuch, and then said in disbelief: "What you said went, did you mean Wang Cheng...... Dead?"
Seeing that the eunuch nodded, King Wei suddenly let go of his fist and muttered: "Why is it so sudden, I went to see him alone today, and saw that although he was not in good health, his complexion was acceptable, and he was young and strong, how could he ......?"
He looked sharply at the eunuch.
And how did the eunuch know how to answer King Wei's words, and at this time he only knelt in fear and trembled.
Seeing this, King Wei raised his hand to signal him to stand down, and then sighed abruptly, he seemed to have something to say, but in the end, after scanning the whole hall, his eyes fell silent.
After a long time, he waved his hand and said to the envoys from the following countries: "The lonely king is a little unwell, so you should enjoy yourself today." β
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the seats of Yan State, Chu State and Zhao State respectively, and then he walked out of the main hall directly surrounded by the personal guards and palace maids around him.
It wasn't until King Wei walked away that the previously quiet hall suddenly became noisy.
"General Wang Cheng really went?"
"It's all reported, maybe it's fake?"
"Before, he was sick at home, and I thought he had some plans, but now it seems that he is really sick. β
"If you are sick, you are sick, can you still have a fake, haven't you heard that Your Majesty personally brought the imperial doctor to see him today?"
β¦β¦
The hall was full of discussions, and the courtiers were talking about Wang Cheng's death.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng's heart had also sunk to the bottom.
The sound of the person's announcement just now not only made King Wei at a loss for a while, and he couldn't believe that it was true, but also made Chu Yunsheng unbelievable.
General Wang Cheng went like this?
Even if he knew that the eunuch who played the report would not dare to lie, Chu Yunsheng still hoped that the news was false.
Until King Wei walked away, Chu Yunsheng couldn't recover from the shock caused by this news, she had just sneaked into the General's Mansion to visit him today, and after knowing his condition, she was still trying to save him.
Just now, she was still thinking about how to get the solution to the Gu worm from Chu Yunyi's hands, but she never thought that this news would come so suddenly.
And why did General Wang Cheng, who was obviously hit by a Gu worm, suddenly go?
Chu Yunyi also said before that this Gu worm would only attack under her urging, and there was another possibility that this Gu worm had left Chu Yunyi's range, and now the Gu worm was still sitting here, and he had not left Wei Wangdu, but Wang Cheng was dead.
Could it be that at this banquet, what means did Chu Yunyi use?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng looked down at Chu Yunyi in front of him, but saw that her eyebrows were slightly raised, with a look of pride in her eyebrows, and she was snuggling up to Tang Duyun's side at this time, as if she was not surprised by Wang Cheng's death at all.
Sure enough, it was her!
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng was almost certain, because since she had the Gu worm on Wang Cheng, then no one could know Wang Cheng's life and death better, and at this time, she didn't have the slightest surprise at Wang Cheng's death, which undoubtedly showed that this was the result of her urging the Gu worm!
But why did she do it at this time?
Chu Yunsheng was puzzled, the only thing she knew now was that she wanted to kill Chu Yunyi and avenge Wang Cheng.
Before this, although she no longer had any feelings for Chu Yunyi, she couldn't say that she hated it, she only hoped that the two of them would also return to the bridge, but she never thought that this woman would be so vicious, and her intentions were far more simple than what Chu Yunsheng saw, and it would be a disaster for such a person to stay sooner or later.
At this time, Chu Yunyi seemed to sense Chu Yunsheng's gaze behind her, she suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Yunsheng, Chu Yunsheng's reaction was also extremely fast, she quickly lowered her eyes and avoided Chu Yunyi's gaze.
Originally, it was a banquet of words and smiles, because the assassination of the dancing girl and the death of General Wang Cheng suddenly brought the whole atmosphere solemnly, however, although King Wei had left, because the envoys of Zhao and Yan of Chu were still present, especially the prince of Yan was still there, these courtiers of Wei had to cheer up and continue to carry out this banquet.
