Chapter Twenty-Seven: Walking on the Water

As Xu Nankui presented the envelope in his hand, Zhenbei Hou realized that things were no longer out of his control.

After Xu Kangdi read the letter, he angrily threw the letter directly on the ground and said, "Okay! That's great! Zhenbei Hou, this is what you call Princess Xinyue Taiping? This is the design that the six girls said, you guys are really good! ”

Zhenbei Hou knelt and picked up the letter, and after reading it, his hands trembled slightly, and on the envelope was how he secretly communicated with the sixth princess and how he wanted to design Xu Nankui.

The Marquis of Zhenbei said: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, this is not the minister's note, this is someone who wants to frame the minister!" ”

Xu Kangdi looked at Zhenbei Hou without a trace of pity in his eyes, although he knew that this was just Xu Nankui's strategy, everything was led by Xu Nankui, but Xu Nankui did it seamlessly.

Receiving Xu Kangdi's eye signal, Xu Nankui slowly walked in front of Zhenbei Hou, picked up the two letters on the ground, and asked Zhenbei Hou: "Then if Zhenbei Hou thinks that someone is doing a game, then why did you hesitate when I asked you why you didn't want to enter the princess's mansion just now?" ”

Looking at Xu Nankui's smug look, Zhenbei Hou was angry and wanted to grit his teeth, but at this moment, he could only swallow everything into his stomach.

Where there is life, there is hope.

The Marquis of Zhenbei lowered his noble head and said weakly: "The minister is willing." ”

A farce, in the end, the six princesses died, accompanied the old concubine, and the Marquis of Zhenbei entered the princess's mansion, not even a concubine, as for the military power in the hands of the Marquis of Zhenbei, it was in the hands of Xu Nankui.

Now Xu Nankui has two military powers in her hands, respectively in charge of the side plug and the hinterland, as long as she raises her arms and shouts, then she can ascend to the supreme throne.

However, Xu Nankui didn't have that mind, after leaving the main hall, the other nobles hurriedly left the place of right and wrong, one of them, the old concubine, needed to tell her family to prepare.

Second, Xu Nankui is now in charge of two military powers, and there is an unstoppable trend.

After Xu Nankui and Emperor Xu Kangdi said a few words to the queen, there was no one else outside, except Princess Xu Huai, who was still outside, with a smiling face, as if waiting for Xu Nankui.

Xu Nankui walked over and said softly, "The imperial sister-in-law is waiting for me on a special trip?" ”

Princess Xu Huai nodded, and said casually: "Naturally, I am waiting for you, there is some good tea in the house today, I don't know if you are interested in going to my house to taste it?" ”

Xu Nankui confessed: "That's really unfortunate, today my father asked me to execute the sixth princess!" I guess I won't be able to go for a while, and it's contaminated with blood, so it's not good to go to the house to disturb again? ”

Princess Xu Huai glanced at the big eunuch who came out with Xu Nankui and the pot of poisonous wine in her hand and said, "Otherwise, the imperial sister-in-law will follow you to watch the ceremony, and I think I want to wake up those restless people in the mansion." ”

Xu Nankui smiled, turned around and asked the chief eunuch, "Father-in-law Zhang, I wonder if there is a problem with the imperial sister-in-law and me watching the ceremony together on this trip?" ”

Father-in-law Zhang bowed his head and replied: "It's all up to Princess Taiping." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Princess Xu Huai's eyes, she only thought that Xu Nankui was slowly taking power, but she didn't expect that even the people around the emperor had already intervened, but she didn't know if this was what Xu Kangdi meant, or Xu Nankui's wrist.

Xu Nankui pretended not to see Princess Xu Huai's suspicions, was silent, and said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, since this matter is up to me, then go with me." ”

The three of them went all the way to Yongning Palace, but it was just a while, Yongning Palace was already empty, and only two palace maids were guarding at the door.

Xu Nankui stopped, took the poisonous wine from Gonggong Zhang's hand, and said, "You guys just wait outside, the last bit of dignity still has to be left for the sixth sister." ”

When Gonggong Zhang got the order, he took the two palace maids and pushed them outside the Yongning Palace, and Xu Nankui said to Princess Xu Huai: "Imperial sister-in-law, let's go in." ”

Princess Xu Huai looked at Xu Nankui and nodded.

Entering the Yongning Palace, in the master bedroom, the sixth princess is now being tied, with a strip of cloth on her mouth, and her eyes are still full of hatred when she sees Xu Nankui, but when she sees the wine jug in Xu Nankui's hand, she knows her ending, and her eyes filled with anger finally show fear.

Xu Nankui put the poisonous wine on the mahogany table next to him, and stepped forward to take down the strip of cloth stuffed in her mouth for the sixth princess, Xu Nankui showed a satisfied smile and said: "Shh, sixth sister, don't be in a hurry to shout, now there is no one in Yongning Palace, only the three of us, shouting is broken, and when you can drink, it hurts!" ”

The sixth princess leaned against the huge Ziyun Jin Nanmu big bed, and said with a hint of disdain: "Xu Nankui! I'm not convinced! My father won't kill me, you're a personal vendetta! ”

Xu Nankui personally found two stools, pulled Princess Xu Huai to sit down, and said, "Oh? Then you can ask Princess Xu Huai! But what I'm saying is true? ”

Princess Xu Huai pretended to comfort her: "Little Liu, the emperor did give poisoned wine, and the imperial sister-in-law and your sister came to see you off for the last time." ”

The sixth princess looked up to the sky and laughed, then stared at Princess Xu Huai fiercely and said, "It's you, right?" Otherwise, how could Xu Nankui know about this plan! ”

Princess Xu Huai smiled slightly and agreed: "Little Liu, the imperial sister-in-law has always thought that you are a smart person, but you seem to be a little too late to be smart." ”

The sixth princess had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't expect that there was a problem with Princess Xu Huai's ring, Xu Nankui was the main anti-guest, but she didn't have any power to fight back.

The sixth princess leaned weakly, and after a while, she asked, "Why?" ”

Princess Xu Huai fiddled with her nails and said, "Oh, the imperial sister-in-law praised you just now, why did you show your original form after a while, is the reason so important?" ”

The sixth princess said vigorously: "Important! At least let me die to understand! ”

Xu Nankui took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist, shook it in front of the eyes of the sixth princess, and said, "That's the reason!" ”

When the sixth princess saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant, her face was full of disbelief and said, "How come! How could the Father give this to you! ”

Xu Nankui took back the jade pendant, put it back in his arms and said, "How could it not?" The only proof of the Son of Heaven Sword, Panlong Jade, seeing this jade pendant, all the soldiers in the imperial city must obey the order, my father handed over the Son of Heaven Sword to me, which side do you think the emperor's uncle and sister-in-law will stand on? ”

The sixth princess sneered and said, "Xu Nankui, it's okay, I'll go first, when I go down, I will definitely wait for you, I think this day is not far away." ”

Xu Nankui nodded, quite agreeing with the words of the sixth princess, and said: "That's right, I have a lot of blood on my hands, I'm afraid it's deeper than your sins, but so what? ”

Xu Nankui pinched the chin of the sixth princess with one hand, and reached behind with the other, Princess Xu Huai was very aware of the current affairs and poured a cup of poisonous wine and sent it to Xu Nankui's hands.

Xu Nankui looked at the fear in the eyes of the sixth princess more and more, and her mood became more and more comfortable, as the poisonous wine entered her throat, Xu Nankui re-stuffed the cloth into the mouth of the sixth princess.

The sixth princess wanted to struggle, but her whole body had been tied up, and she had no strength at all, so she could only slump on the ground and look at Xu Nankui directly.

Xu Nankui got up slowly and said, "Actually, this palace has never understood, why do you hate me to this extent, why do you need to hate me?" ”

Xu Nankui sat down next to Princess Xu Huai again and said, "Is it because of Li Xiuren?" Asking you to betray your homeland? ”

As soon as Xu Nankui said this, not only the six princesses, but also Princess Xu Huai were shocked.

Princess Xu Huai didn't understand the relationship, but thought that it was the sixth princess who had an affair with Li Xiuren, and the sixth princess thought that Xu Nankui knew her secret.

The effect of the medicine had already begun to kick in, and the sixth princess began to convulse, but she still struggled to hear what Xu Nankui had to say, and sure enough, Xu Nankui did not disappoint her.

Xu Nankui took off the hairpin from his head, took out a note from it, and read it word by word: "Today, it has been ascertained that Li Xiang and his son Li Xiuren are both from Liao, and Li Xiang's son is the prince of Liao. ”

Xu Nankui put the note on the dragon and phoenix incense candle and lit it, the flames were everywhere, and the eyes of the six princesses were full of horror, she didn't understand why Xu Nankui knew.

Xu Nankui left the note that was about to be burned to ashes on the ground and asked, "Isn't it strange, why do I know this?" But I didn't deal with Li Xiuren? ”

Xu Nankui paused and said: "Actually, it's the same as I don't understand why you can do this for Li Xiuren, but in the end, I'll tell you one thing, I don't know if you can go to the underworld with a guilty heart." ”

Xu Nankui stood up and said: "Three years ago, our army fought against the Liao State in the border fortress, the military rations were intercepted, and there was no rescue, if I died there that day, maybe no one would know, but it was bad luck, just find a few substitutes for the dead ghosts, but unfortunately, I survived, I have been checking for three years since I came back, what went wrong, until I found Li Xiang, in the first battle of the year, it was Li Xiang who took the lead in killing the envoys, resulting in the war, and it was also him, who drew his salary at the bottom of the kettle, and did this hand, so that the vitality of both sides was greatly injured, so, the blood of the 100,000 soldiers, It has to be repaid by him and Li Xiuren. ”

Xu Nankui fiddled with the pot of poisonous wine and said, "As for you, go down and explain to those innocent people and soldiers first." ”

After speaking, Xu Nankui no longer looked at the death struggle of the sixth princess, sometimes, a mistake is a mistake.

The sixth princess felt that Xu Nankui was pressing her in everything, and she was unwilling, so after getting the news from Lin Wanwan once, she took Li Xiuren's line.

It's just that Xu Nankui really doesn't understand what a man who can leave his hometown and endure for many years for the sake of power can promise you? Lin Wanwan Yes, so is the sixth princess.

When there was finally no movement behind him, Xu Nankui saw that the sixth princess was bleeding from seven orifices, and she was still staring at Xu Nankui before she died.

Xu Nankui took off the strip of cloth in her mouth, slowly untied her, then helped her up and put her on the bed, and said to the sixth princess: "In the next life, polish your eyes a little." ”

Then Xu Nankui got up and said to Princess Xu Huai: "Imperial sister-in-law, let's go to your mansion to taste tea?" ”

Although Princess Xu Huai had a thousand guesses, this was her most chaotic one, and she paused for a while before saying, "Oh, okay, go to my house!" ”

Xu Nankui picked up the red candle on the table, and when the two of them went out, they threw it behind him, and the tung oil on the ground was ignited, and the blazing fire ignited behind him.
