Chapter 478: Funeral
. .
"Xiao Xi'er, don't worry, I will do this seamlessly!"
The flower-skinned demon smiled mysteriously and left with the medicine bottle.
Su Ruoxi was naturally relieved of the flowery demon, otherwise she would not have entrusted such an important matter to him to do.
The poison she refined for Xuanyuan Yumo only temporarily killed him, as long as he could take the antidote in three hours, he could be saved.
Moreover, after Xuanyuan Yumo eats the antidote, she will not wake up immediately, it will take a while, if she is not mistaken, she will have a good show tomorrow.
After handing over the matter of sending the antidote to the flower demon, Su Ruoxi changed into a night suit and left the Chun Nuan Pavilion after him.
The palace has been occupied by Guogong's people, and Guogong is naturally very busy tonight, so no one will pay too much attention to her actions.
In this way, it is just convenient for her to leave the palace.
Su Ruoxi left the palace and went to General Huai's mansion as soon as possible.
She found that the outside of General Huai's mansion was guarded by Guogong's people, and the entire general's mansion was like a big prison, and the people inside were watching their every move.
So, Su Ruoxi went straight to General Huai's study and found that there was still candlelight in the study, and a tall shadow was reflected in the window.
Although she had only seen General Huai once, judging from that figure, she could still conclude that this person was General Huai.
Su Ruoxi quietly sneaked into the study, General Huai's martial arts were not weak, and she was discovered as soon as she entered.
"Who?"
General Huai snorted coldly, and his shot was a slash.
Su Ruoxi stood still in place, just showing a token, and let General Nahuai stop.
"The Emperor's Token? Who are you? ”
Facing General Huai's questioning, Su Ruoxi did not tear off the veil on his face, but turned into a voice and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that the general's family is now controlled by the Guogong. ”
"The entire General's Mansion is in danger of being wiped out at any time."
As soon as these words came out, General Huai affirmed the conjecture in his heart.
Tonight, when forcing the palace to be such a big event, Guogong not only did not let his men and horses go to help, but instead sent someone to put him under house arrest.
This means that Guogong is suspicious of him, no longer willful to him, and may even kill him at any time.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do? ”
General Huai looked at Su Ruoxi with wide eyes, the expression on his face was a little nervous, and it also showed the worry in his heart at the moment.
"I'm here to help the general! If the general wants his family to live, do as I say! ”
Su Ruoxi put away the token and said in a deep voice.
"You don't even dare to reveal your identity, why should I believe you?"
General Huai said mockingly, after all, at this critical moment, if you take a wrong step, you will die without a place to be buried.
"I originally thought that General Huai was a smart man, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
"Isn't the token in my hand enough to represent my identity?"
"Why do you think you should trust me? Does General Huai still want to rely on Guogong and become the first generalissimo of Cangyue! ”
As soon as he heard this, General Huai was so frightened that he took two steps back, slumped in his chair, and his expression became panicked.
"You...... Are you the emperor's man? What do you know? ”
"I know everything between you and the prince, and the emperor also knows. Now, the prince regards you as the emperor's person and no longer trusts you, do you think you will still have a way to live? ”
"If you want to live, you only have one choice, and that is to take refuge in the emperor and serve the emperor!"
After listening to Su Ruoxi's words, General Huai was a little moved, but he still asked with some worry and puzzlement: "But...... But isn't the emperor already ...... Already ......"
He wanted to say that the emperor was dead.
But as a courtier, he could not say such things, so he could only say half of the words, and he did not dare to continue.
Su Ruoxi sneered and said, "Do you think that the emperor is dead?" ”
"I can tell you that the emperor is indeed dead. But...... But the prince can't be the emperor, if you want to live, just ask me to do it! ”
General Huai thought about his situation at the moment, anyway, he might as well grit his teeth and fight!
"Good! What do you say I should do! As long as I can keep my family safe, I will listen to you! ”
Seeing that this General Huai was not a stubborn and rigid person, Su Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction, and then quietly told General Huai about his plan.
"You just have to do what I just said, and I promise that your family won't lose a single hair!"
After listening to Su Ruoxi's plan, General Huai's whole body collapsed in his chair.
However, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay! I Huai is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if I have any accidents, I also hope that you can fulfill your promise. ”
"Let's high-five and swear!"
After Su Ruoxi and General Huai high-fived three times, he left with peace of mind.
She believed that General Huai would not go back on her word because she pinched his weakness.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Su Ruoxi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Monk's Mansion again, and used the same method to persuade the Zuo Xiang Monk Shangshu.
When she was busy with all this and was about to return to the palace, the sky was already light, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
Back at the palace, Xuanyuan Yumo's funeral was already beginning to be arranged.
All the ministers, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt outside the Yixiang Palace.
Although they are all members of the country, they still have to do something for such a major event as the emperor's death.
Su Ruoxi walked straight into the main hall, and it happened that Guogong was also there.
After Xuanyuan Yumo's death, Guogong was no longer low-key, and at the entire funeral, he was the only one dressed brightly, and even had a joyful smile on his face.
Seeing the dress of a night walker, Guogong frowned unnaturally, and asked unhappily: "Lord Priest, where did you go last night?" ”
Su Ruoxi ignored Guogong, but gave Xuanyuan Yumo a stick of incense in a decent manner.
It was still dark outside, and she couldn't let her guard down until the last moment.
After she finished the incense, Guogong continued: "The emperor died in your hands, and the prince knows that you must be uncomfortable in your heart. ”
"However, the Duke of China has to remind you that since you are a subordinate of the Duke of China, you have to obey the orders of the Duke of the Lord!"
Hearing Guogong's words, Su Ruoxi sneered in her heart.
She raised her eyes to look at Guogong and said coldly: "Obey!" Emperor! ”
The title of 'Emperor' made Guogong feel happy immediately, and he no longer cared where she was last night.
"Good! Or the priest acquaintance! I'm very satisfied! ”
At this time, the prince of the country actually changed his name, and the ministers outside the palace also shouted in unison: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
The neat and loud voice echoed outside the hall for a long time.
