Chapter 152: Assassination and Murder
He didn't get tired at all, but the closer he got to the capital, the more physical strength he had, and his entourage was eating and resting, and he simply drank the porridge and leaned against the window to look at the map.
Fingertips constantly slide back and forth between the two capitals of Southern Xinjiang and South Vietnam, measuring the distance between the two places.
"Lord Wang, drink saliva, I just got it from the well, just to quench my thirst."
The subordinate brought a bowl of water, which was hot in summer, and it was very hot even in the evening.
King Wu Xuan raised his eyes, and sure enough, everyone drank all the water, he took a few sips and put it aside.
That night, the shopkeeper hurried everyone into the house, telling them not to come out no matter what they heard.
Several black shadows flashed back in the hall, and they entered the room of King Wu Xuan and a few people in a grand manner, and the movement was too loud, but the people on the bed did not react at all.
"The drug really works, and I sleep like a dead pig."
"Then let them become dead completely."
The leader took the lead in raising his knife and slashing at the quilt in an orderly manner, and he did not stop until blood came out of the quilt, and the same thing happened in several other rooms, and the whole inn was filled with the smell of blood for a while.
The next day, the emperor led his ministers to the Shili Pavilion outside the capital to wait for King Wuxuan, which was regarded as the highest level of courtesy, and it was enough to see the importance of this marriage.
General Chen was afraid that Chen Simiao would go crazy. specially begged Fu Rongxue to stay by her side, so as not to do anything to forcibly hug King Wuxuan in public.
"Don't worry, the general will definitely be optimistic about Si Miao."
Chen Simiao was dissatisfied with her father's worries about her, and dragged Fu Rongxue to a corner, although it was remote, it was the first place where people could be seen.
She proudly invited credit: "I already knew that the emperor was coming here to greet him, and I came here three days ago." ”
"If half of your mind were on studying, General Chen wouldn't be so worried." Fu Rongxue opened her mouth lightly, obviously not surprised at all.
In fact, she discovered this place early on, and it was still when she sent Ye Huiming, although it finally developed into two people walking together, of course, Chen Simiao would never know.
"It's okay, he can read."
Fu Rongxue's eyes became teasing: "If you haven't married yet, you will treat it as your own family, be careful that outsiders will hear and scold you, don't be ashamed." ”
Chen Simiao thought calmly: "Anyway, it's my person soon, tell me what's wrong in advance." ”
She shook her head helplessly, but she also hoped that Chen Simiao could always maintain this frankness.
The world is unpredictable, the sun is rising, the original agreed time has long passed, and the figure of King Wu Xuan has not appeared for a long time, and even Chen Simiao is panicking.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Ye Huiming what happened?" Fu Rongxue comforted softly, got up and found Ye Huiming.
He spread his hands, and his face was also a rare positive color: "I don't know, the spies sent haven't come back yet, but the emperor is not in a good mood." ”
Fu Rongxue subconsciously looked in the direction of the emperor, with one hand behind her back, her lips were pursed, her face was indeed not good-looking, and when she saw beside her, Queen Ning looked like she was watching a good show.
"No news yet?" The emperor asked in a deep voice, the public disc showed that he had entered South Vietnam, how could he disappear for no reason.
"Back to the emperor, I really didn't see King Wuxuan and his people."
Empress Ning waved her hand to let the palace maid who was in charge of the palm fan retreat, stepped forward calmly, and said coolly: "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, this southern Xinjiang has no intention of wanting to marry at all, after all, we took the initiative to marry a daughter, this is not a request, naturally I will not take it to heart, and it is understandable that I will not come for a long time." ”
Seeing that the emperor was somewhat relieved, she continued to add fuel and vinegar: "Maybe, it was Miss Chen's wishful thinking in southern Xinjiang at the beginning, if the emperor messed up the relationship between the two countries, people would naturally be able to say that they would have complaints in their hearts." ”
After speaking, he deliberately added: "This woman from Nanyue is still a pet of Nanyue men, and she will be sent to marriage, who knows what kind of life she will live in the future." ”
Fu Rongxue heard it all without missing a word, frowned tightly, and wanted to step forward to theorize that she was dragged by Ye Huiming, only to realize that the current occasion was not suitable for her to come forward.
The emperor completely believed Empress Ning's words, threw off his sleeves and left, leaving a sentence: "King Wuxuan despises the relationship between the two countries, and this marriage is canceled." ”
This news is like a bolt from the blue for Chen Simiao, the girl who didn't even cry when she fell off the horse when she was a child, her tears could no longer be controlled, tears flowed down her face, General Chen was distressed to see it, and he didn't know where to comfort him, so he was anxious.
"General Chen, leave it to me here, you go to the front to deal with other things first." Fu Rongxue took Chen Simiao and whispered to General Chen to the front.
Today's incident was originally for his daughter, but now that so many people have been delayed, just apologizing is enough for General Chen to have a headache.
General Chen looked at his daughter worriedly, so he had to sigh and leave quickly.
Fu Rongxue let Chen Simiao cry and cried, wiped her tears from time to time, and Ye Huiming also went to help General Chen, and did not forget to find a carriage to send them back.
She helped Chen Simiao into the carriage and did not go back to the palace, but went straight back to the general's mansion.
"Are you crying?" Chen Simiao's voice became quieter, Fu Rongxue asked softly, reached out to hold her palm, and silently transferred heat.
Chen Simiao shook her head slightly, lowered her eyes and didn't show her the red eyes, and the tears smashed on the back of her hand, which hurt a little.
Fu Rongxue pressed her head on her shoulder to prevent her from crying and fainting.
"He, he's not such a person, there must have been a misunderstanding in it." Chen Simiao's words were intermittent, sobbing and coughing, Fu Rongxue thought for a long time before she understood.
She didn't respond, but quietly listened to Chen Simiao's explanation with a little temper, what she didn't dare to say in front of so many people, she said it all to Fu Rongxue, the bits and pieces of her relationship with King Wu Xuan, and finally cried weakly, hugging the quilt and falling asleep.
Fu Rongxue stayed by the bed for a while, and made sure that she was already asleep, so she carefully stuffed her quilt and got up to leave the house.
The moment she turned around, she happened to bump into Chen Huan in the corridor, she patted her chest, and said in shock: "Come to find Si Miao?" She's just fallen asleep, so I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Who knew that Chen Huan shook his head, looked at the room, and then shifted his gaze to Fu Rongxue, and lowered his voice suspiciously: "I'm here to find you?" ”
"Me? This is not the place to talk, go elsewhere. ”
Chen Huan bowed his jaw and walked in front with his sword: "Follow me." ”
Fu Rongxue immediately thought that Chen Huan was looking for her for today's business, and after arriving at the location, she asked straight to the point: "Did you notice anything today?" ”
"Well, I think there is something strange about things, King Wu Xuan should not be so blatantly disregarding the two countries, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he will come over and make a show."
Chen Huan finished such a long sentence in one breath, and then stared at Fu Rongxue, he had never seen King Wuxuan, but if he could be favored by Chen Simiao, it would not be too bad, he believed that things were different.
