Chapter 79: Murderous Heart

The emperor took the book that was sent by 800 miles in an urgent manner, his brows were tightly locked, and he was thoughtful. He opened the fold and read it again.

This book is from the hands of Yan Che, the personal guard of Yun Chuhan who joined the army in the Chu Palace. In the compromise, it is written that the assassins are tattooed with the totems of the Barbarian Kalk tribe. But these people seem to be from the Central Plains at all.

Also, the assassins were prepared to find Yun Chuhan's tent without mistake. And the assassination of Imperial Physician Zhao was not accidental. Yan Che guessed that their target was Yun Chuhan, and the assassination of Imperial Physician Zhao was for the sake of insurance. Obviously, they have an internal response.

Yan Che didn't know who Nei Ying was, so he had to ask the emperor to immediately send a reliable general to replace Yun Chuhan.

And Yun Chuhan is not in danger of life, the emperor knows it.

The emperor's move was very risky. Announcing to the outside world that Yun Chuhan is the future prince undoubtedly pushed Yun Chuhan to a more dangerous situation.

But the emperor still believes that Yun Chuhan will definitely come back, and no one is more suitable to inherit his throne than him.

"Xue Zhen, pass on my secret decree. Let Jin Fang take his people and secretly go to the north to secretly protect the king of Chu. Also, find out who the assassins are. The emperor's eyes were solemn, and his words were low.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Zhen hurriedly walked out.

The emperor put down the folds, and recalled the past in his mind. After he ascended the throne, he rewarded all the princes, thinking that they would be safe from now on. Unexpectedly, in exchange for the king, he intended to rebel. At that time he was young and vigorous, and in a fit of rage he killed him all over the house.

Later, every time I thought about it, I regretted it a lot. Over the years, he would copy scriptures every year to those who had lost their innocent lives in the palace, just to alleviate their sins.

The princes are fighting openly and secretly in private, and the emperor knows very well in his heart that they are all his sons, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he has no choice.

But this time, the assassin was running for Yun Chuhan's life. If it is found out that it is really the work of a certain prince, the emperor will not turn a blind eye again.

Qu Lingxue couldn't wait to open the letter sent by Situ Jing. She was originally happy to look at the content in her heart, the smile on her face gradually froze, and her eyebrows twisted into a pimple.

Qu Lingxue slapped the letter on the table hard, and at this moment, her eyes were full of anger.

"What's wrong with Miss?" Su Xin asked tentatively.

"Su Xin, bring me the letters that Situ Jing wrote to me a few times ago." Qu Lingxue didn't answer, her face was gloomy.

Su Xin hurriedly walked to the cabinet. She opened the cabinet door, and there was a drawer inside. Opening the drawer and touching the mezzanine inside, Su Xin took out four or five letters. These are all letters written by Situ Jing who was unable to come to visit after he was "injured" because he missed Qu Lingxue.

Su Xin put the letter in front of Qu Lingxue. Qu Lingxue opened them one by one and looked at the contents on them. Her face grew more and more ugly.

Su Xin looked at Qu Lingxue's expression, and she didn't dare to come out. Because over the years, even Yun Muqing's thin affection, she has never seen her face so ugly.

After reading the last letter, Qu Lingxue slammed it on the table. Together with the letter I just received today, there are a total of six letters, neatly laid out in front of me.

"Su Xin, come and read these letters." Half of Qu Lingxue's anger had turned into sadness.

Su Xin hurriedly walked to the opposite side of Qu Lingxue, picked up the letters on the table, and read them one by one in chronological order. Looking at the duty, she frowned.

Su Xin is very smart, she sees the clue.

Qu Lingxue raised her head, looked at Su Xin's gradually solemn expression, and sneered: "Su Xin, you see something wrong, right?" ”

When she said this, Qu Lingxue's hands were already shaking.

Su Xin knew that Qu Lingxue was sad now, so she decided to appease her first: "Miss, I said that Situ Gongzi is just worried about his big thing that has been ruined for a long time." ”

Qu Lingxue shook her head, and a line of tears flowed out: "A woman's intuition is naturally accurate to this kind of intuition. It's like Yun Muqing, in fact, I should have understood it a long time ago. However, I still lied to myself and believed it. If it's once, it doesn't matter. Two times and three times, it can be said to be a coincidence. But so many times, six times! What does this mean? The instructions are not a coincidence at all! I promise that next time, he will ask him in the letter about his long time. ”

Su Xin frowned and said, "Miss, why don't you just ask Situ Gongzi and see what he explains?" ”

"No, I'm afraid. I'm afraid to hear what I don't want to hear. I'm also afraid that he is just like Yun Muqing, hypocritical. Qu Lingxue was no longer angry at the moment, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Miss, since you can't ask or not, you can't do it. It's better to ...... it," Su Xin wanted to say and stopped.

But Qu Lingxue immediately understood what Su Xin meant, she wiped her tears, and said, "I don't understand, after a long time, his face has been completely ruined, what is his intention with such a metaphorical concern?" ”

"Miss, let's calm down first, and then think about it in the long run."

Qu Lingxue nodded. Her current mood is full of Situ Jing, and she can't think about what to do next.

After calming down, Qu Lingxue persuaded herself to be too careful. Maybe it's really as Su Xin guessed, Situ Jing's inquiry has been away for a long time, but it is because it involves Xiaomen.

Su Xin also kept persuading Ling Xue, because she was thinking too much. However, reality still dealt Qu Lingxue a heavy blow.

In the evening, Yun Muqing came here, and Qu Lingxue tried to ask about the situation of Lijiujiu's disappearance.

Originally, he didn't have any expectations, but he didn't expect Yun Muqing to know the reason. Qu Lingxue pretended to be curious and asked. Somehow, Yun Muqing was so good-natured that she answered them one by one today.

Yun Muqing told Qu Lingxue that Situ Jing had deceived him for a long time. In his words, he was very dissatisfied with Situ Jing.

Because, Yun Muqing wanted Situ Jing to help kill Lijiujiu. Anyway, Liangzi with Xiaomen has already been settled, and he doesn't care about another blood debt. When he was in King Mu's mansion, he played himself for a long time, and he couldn't swallow this breath. In addition, if he dies for a long time, Yun Chuhan will be sad, which is what Yun Muqing wants to see.

The reason why Yun Muqing is dissatisfied with Situ Jing is that he always avoids killing things that have been gone for a long time. After a few times, he understood that Situ Jing didn't want to kill Jiujiu at all. He must have had a real affection for her.

After listening to Yun Muqing's story, Qu Lingxue almost fainted. She just wanted to know where she had gone and what she had done during the time she had been away for a long time. I didn't expect Situ Jing to be involved.

If Jiujiu was just a chess piece of Situ Jing, Qu Lingxue wouldn't mind. But right now, Yun Muqing thinks that Situ Jing is sincere about leaving Jiujiu.

It's just that in this moment, Qu Lingxue has a murderous intent towards Lijiujiu.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. The emperor's decision to establish Yun Chuhan as the crown prince soon spread in the capital, and he also stabbed Yun Muqing in the heart. Since then, he has been unable to sleep and has been thinking about what to do next.

Tonight, the reason why Yun Muqing came to find Qu Lingxue was because Gu Jingyue asked her to come.

Gu Jingyue's meaning is to kill for a long time. Because this is Qu Lingxue's last use value. This woman has been staying in the Chu Palace, which is a hidden danger for Yun Muqing.

If she defects one day, it will definitely be very unfavorable to Yun Muqing.

Yun Muqing felt that it made sense, although she was troubled in her heart, she still came hard.

Regarding Gu Jingyue's behavior of saving Jiujiu and killing Jiujiu in turn, Yun Muqing didn't think much about it, she just thought about herself.

"No matter what method you use, this king must kill for a long time! Also keep this thing in an inconspicuous place. After speaking, Yun Muqing took out something and threw it on the dresser.

Qu Lingxue walked over and saw that it was a delicate jade pendant. Small and delicate, it is worth a lot of money.

"What is this?" Qu Lingxue didn't know who Bai Yun Muqing wanted to blame, but she could still recognize that it was not Yun Muqing's thing.

"Don't ask." Yun Muqing didn't want to say anything more, so she left.

Qu Lingxue sat down in a chair at this time.

"It's been a long time, I don't want Yun Chuhan, I don't want to compete with you. Why do you want to rob Situ Jing with me! Qu Lingxue gritted her teeth and said.

Su Xin, who was hiding in the closet, walked out. It was Qu Lingxue who asked her to hide there, so that she could hear Yun Muqing's words as they were and give her an idea.

Su Xin was also very surprised, the long-term "running away from home" actually had something to do with Situ Jing, and he didn't keep his duty at all and tried to elope in vain.

However, Su Xin didn't dare to say this. I was deceived for a long time, but Qu Lingxue was really willing!

However, this Situ Jing was also quite unlucky, and he was really emotional. Su Xin finally understood why he didn't let himself attack Lijiujiu.

The opportunity I was waiting for, I didn't expect it to come so soon.

Su Xin walked to Qu Lingxue's side, and Di Sheng said, "Miss, now we have no choice, take advantage of Situ Gongzi's inability to come, and hurry up to kill Lijiu." ”

Qu Lingxue's eyes were full of hatred: "Su Xin, you help me think of a foolproof way, I must kill for a long time!" ”

Watching Qu Lingxue fall from the clouds to the mortal dust, Su Xin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, love is really blind, making a quiet lady turn into a resentful woman full of jealousy.

Su Xin couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately he was not interested in men.

***

"Why did the young lady persuade the prince to kill Princess Chu? You and Princess Chu are friends of life and death! Wan Tao didn't understand how that kind-hearted Gu Jingyue could become like this.

Gu Jingyue looked back at Wan Tao and said, "My purpose is not to kill Lijiujiu, the point is to blame the prince of Qi." ”

"King Qi? What Miss means ......" Wan Tao suddenly understood.

Gu Jingyue smiled faintly: "When I went to the Qi Palace, I let you come to the Princess of Qi with the exquisite jade pendant that can finally come in handy." This time Yun Chuhan was assassinated, and the emperor will definitely pursue it. Transfer the suspicion to the King of Qi, and the prince will be safe. In the past few days, the prince has been restless and always in a daze. He can't think of a way, I, as a princess, can't ignore my husband. ”
