Yan Ran never thought that Cui Jingyi would be so bold and dare to do something in someone else's house.

Cui Jingyi looked at Yan Ran condescendingly, her eyes were cold, as if a god from above was looking down on the ants on the ground.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Yu, the county lord of Min'an, looked at everything that happened in front of him in horror and said in disbelief.

Cui Jingyi hid the indifference on her face, and when she turned to Zhao Yu, she made a weak and worried look, and said, "I don't know what's wrong, let's go find someone to help!" ”

Zhao Yu did not doubt him, and hurriedly walked out with Cui Jingyi.

But as soon as he walked out of the door, a short dagger was against Zhao Yu's waist.

Cui Jingyi's cold voice sounded in her ears: "County Lord, let's talk." ”

Zhao Yu came to a corner under Cui Jingyi's hostage, and two maidservants helped Yan Ran to follow.

Yan Ran lost her ability to move and couldn't resist, so she could only be at the mercy of others.

"Ran'er!"

Zhao Yu exclaimed in surprise and wanted to get close to Yan Ran, but was stopped by the maidservant.

Cui Jingyi pointed the dagger at Yan Ran, and said to Zhao Yu gently and slowly: "County Lord, don't shout, don't try to escape, obediently listen to the words of this princess, otherwise you will ......"

Cui Jingyi didn't finish her words, she just took the dagger and slashed a few times on Yan Ran's face with the knife face.

Zhao Yu was terrified, for fear that Cui Jingyi's hands would be unstable, and Yan Ran's face would be ruined.

Yan Ran's disfigurement is still a trivial matter, and there is a room full of female dependents who are slaughtered, and their lives are in Cui Jingyi's hands, Zhao Yu has no choice.

Cui Jingyi selected a few more among the ladies and asked the maids she brought to help them out.

Zhao Yu took everyone out of the house, and when she met someone on the way, she said that a few ladies were too strong to drink, and she wanted to go out to see each other, and no one was suspicious.

The group went out of the house smoothly and got into the carriages that Cui Jingyi had prepared a long time ago.

Cui Jingyi wanted to control Zhao Yu, so she took her and Yan Ran to her carriage and watched it herself.

Zhao Yu hugged Yan Ran in her arms and said worriedly: "Ran'er, how are you?" ”

Unexpectedly, there was no answer.

The smile on Cui Jingyi's face was soft, but the sentence she said was extremely vicious: "Don't worry, I won't let her die, I won't let her die so easily and painlessly." ”

Zhao Yu was shocked by the hatred in Cui Jingyi's words: "Cui Jingyi, what are you going to do?" ”

Cui Jingyi smiled silently, stretched out her finger between her lips, and made a silent gesture to remind Zhao Yu not to shout.

Soon, the disappearance of the family members of many senior officials in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion spread.

Because Zhao Yu came forward to take people away, everyone pointed the finger at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and they came to the door to ask for people.

At this time, Cui Jingyi had already taken the ladies to a very remote house outside the city.

"Ladies, don't worry, get some sleep. After tonight, you'll be able to go home. ”

Everyone couldn't understand Cui Jingyi's words, but they couldn't move because of poisoning, and no matter how frightened and uneasy they were, they could only resign themselves to fate.

Yan Ran knew very well why Cui Jingyi kidnapped these female dependents, and why she said that she would send them home tonight.

Because, the crown prince will ascend the throne tomorrow, and if Xiao Zun wants to stop this, he will act tonight.

Emperor Sheng has been in a coma for many days, and he has not improved for a long time, and the atmosphere in the court has gradually become restless from the peaceful and stable at the beginning.

After consulting with Han Xiang and several other auxiliary ministers, the empress decided to let the crown prince ascend the throne, stabilize the government, and honor Emperor Sheng as the emperor.

In order to prevent someone from having different intentions, making an obstacle from it, and affecting the national throne, the matter of the crown prince's accession to the throne is very confidential, and it is necessary to surprise and solve it quickly.

Except for those who agreed on the matter, no one knew that the country was about to change hands, so everyone's life was still business as usual.

Yan Ran shuttled around the palace all day long, and naturally got first-hand news.

She was looking forward to it, she had laid down so many things before, just to wait for this day to come.

Although the crown prince's character and ability are not excellent, and there are rumors of an heir, it will not affect the succession to the throne.

Xiao Zun has been planning painstakingly for many years, but he was crushed by Emperor Sheng's sudden illness, and he will definitely not be reconciled, and he will definitely make a move.

What's more, Yan Ran also gave Xiao Zun a reason for "the prince borrowed the queen's hand to murder Emperor Sheng", so that he could become famous.

Of course, Wen Rongan has already made all preparations, and he will definitely not let Xiao Zun succeed.

Yan Ran set up this plan, just to lure Xiao Zun into the urn, and use the crime of murdering the king and usurping the throne to completely knock him down.

So far, all the developments have been in Yan Ran's expectations.

Yan Ran also thought that Cui Jingyi might not be at ease, but she didn't expect that she would abduct the courtiers' families in broad daylight.

Among the female dependents who Cui Jingyi kidnapped, several of them were courtiers who were very loyal to the prince.

Cui Jingyi did this, presumably to threaten those courtiers and get them to support Xiao Zun.

Among the female dependents, there are also several family members of Xiao Zun's courtiers, and they should be held hostage to confuse the public.

Cui Jingyi calmed everyone a few words, then came to Zhao Yu and Yan Ran, and said quietly: "County Lord, you have to do one more thing." ”

Zhao Yu protected Yan Ran, looked at Cui Jingyi vigilantly, and made a defensive gesture: "What to do?" ”

Cui Jingyi lazily sat on the chair brought by the people below, and said casually: "Presumably, the news of the disappearance of the female dependents at the birthday banquet of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion should have been spread." Everyone saw that you were the one who left the Hou Mansion and left the city with these people. They will think that you have kidnapped the female dependents. So, what you have to do now is to commit suicide in fear of sin. ”

Zhao Yu listened to Cui Jingyi's words, she was not afraid, but felt ridiculous: "You want me to be your scapegoat?" ”

Cui Jingyi looked taken for granted: "Why not?" ”

Zhao Yu laughed mockingly: "There are so many people here, there are so many pairs of eyes, they all know that you are the real mastermind!" Even if I die, you won't be able to silence everyone! ”

Cui Jingyi said indifferently: "Yes, there are obedient people, and naturally there are disobedient people." So, wouldn't it be nice to dispose of the disobedient people with you? ”

Zhao Yu originally didn't take Cui Jingyi's threat in her eyes, she was the noble daughter of the Qinghe family, and she was the head of the housewife of the Yipin Hou Mansion in the current dynasty, and the power behind her was not something that anyone dared to touch.

But she looked at Cui Jingyi's calm and resolute appearance, and knew that what she said was true, and she would really kill her.

"Crazy, you're a madman!"

Cui Jingyi saw the fear in Zhao Yu's eyes, she was very satisfied, and said in a good mood: "In this way, this princess is not a vicious person, and she can give you a choice." ”

Cui Jingyi said, her eyes revolving back and forth on Zhao Yu and Yan Ran's bodies, and she seemed to smile and said, "If you kill her, this princess can let you live." ”

Zhao Yu was extremely angry, and refused without thinking: "You are dreaming!" ”

Cui Jingyi's smile cooled: "Since the county lord doesn't appreciate it, don't blame this princess for being ruthless." ”

As soon as Cui Jingyi's words fell, two maidservants stepped forward, clamped Zhao Yu's arm one left and one right, and dragged her out.

Zhao Yu struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all.

Cui Jingyi seemed to like to see Zhao Yu's dying and struggling appearance, as well as Yan Ran's angry and helpless desperate look, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

"Ahh

Cui Jingyi was full of comfort, when a figure suddenly pounced on her, the chair fell to the ground, and she also fell to the ground.

She didn't care about the pain in her back, she just cared about protecting her slightly bulging abdomen, but there was still a tingling pain in her abdomen.

The subordinates were taken aback by this sudden change, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, helping Cui Jingyi up while restraining the figure.

Cui Jingyi's face was pale, and she looked over in shock, it turned out to be Yan Ran.

The anger on her face turned to disbelief: "Can you move?" Is your poison cured? How is this possible? ”

Cui Jingyi's heart was as careful as hair, she knew Yan Ran's ability, so she took away her purse containing the medicine early in the morning and threw it away directly.

Yan Ran was pressed to the ground, her hair was scattered, her fair cheeks were covered with dust, and she was embarrassed, but she still smiled confidently and proudly: "I won't miss the same poison twice." ”

Yan Ran said that in fact, although she took measures immediately after discovering the poisoning, the poison on her body had just been unraveled.

Cui Jingyi was furious, and she didn't think about torturing Yan Ran, so she directly ordered: "Kill her!" ”

Yan Ran was not afraid, and laughed: "Okay, with the princess and the emperor's eldest grandson as companions, I am not alone on the Huangquan Road." ”

"What do you say......"

Cui Jingyi had just said a few words, and there was a heart-piercing pain in her abdomen again.

She could even feel the fetus in her womb desperately trying to get out of her body because of the pain, which made her panic.

Yan Ran reminded: "Don't get excited, princess, otherwise it will be easy to die twice." ”

Cui Jingyi took a few deep breaths, tried her best to calm down her emotions, gritted her teeth and said, "What did you do?" ”

Yan Ran said: "It's just poisoning." ”

There are many places to hide things on her body, what hairpins, bracelets, what's the use of just taking away a purse.

Cui Jingyi's eyes darkened, she thought that she had been extremely thoughtful, but she didn't expect to be careless.

On the one hand, she gave her personal maid a look and motioned her to find a doctor, but on the other hand, she was afraid that only Yan Ran could solve this poison, and she didn't dare to kill her immediately.

Cui Jingyi held back her anger and said to Yan Ran in a cold voice: "You hand over the antidote, and I can release the allergic county master." ”

Zhao Yu was happy when she heard this, and raised her voice: "No need, it is also my creation to die in the same year, month and day as the emperor's eldest grandson!" ”

The emperor's eldest grandson, dead, Cui Jingyi, who was stabbed by these words, felt a pain in her heart, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

Cui Jingyi naturally thinks that Yan Ran and Zhao Yu are cheap, but the lives of her and the flesh and blood in her womb are very expensive, why should they be buried with them?

Cui Jingyi sneered, with a ruthless look in her eyes: "Okay, every half an hour, I will kill a person in this room until you give me the antidote!" ”

Yan Ran blinked her eyes and said innocently: "It's not that I don't give you the antidote, the antidote is in the purse, and it was just thrown away by you." ”
