Chapter 725 No matter who she is, she won't kill me
The fake emperor gradually couldn't parry, broke out of the window, but crashed into the net, the fine and flexible net was embedded with copper wires, as soon as the two heads were tightened, the people in the net were firmly locked, he knew that the emperor had made preparations early in the morning, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief, as soon as he looked up, Ning Jiu stood in front of him, and shot like lightning, sealing several of his major acupuncture points, so that he could not move. He was taken away and held in secret.
The emperor interrogated Princess Wuyang and Ruzhu overnight. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Where is Bai Qianfan?" ”
Princess Wuyang was very surprised, thinking that he must be asking about plans or something, but she didn't expect to ask Bai Qianfan in the first sentence, and the corners of her mouth pulled up a sneer, "I am Bai Qianfan." ”
The emperor glanced at Ning Jiu, he walked over, grabbed Ruzhu's arm and pulled it, Ruzhu screamed, and his arm hung down in a strange posture.
The emperor's face was calm, "You'd better cooperate a little, my guards are not people who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and the women also do the same." ”
Princess Wuyang bit her lip and looked at Ning Jiu angrily, Ning Jiu's hands were forced, the dislocated joints rubbed against each other, the bones rubbed out an ugly sound, screaming like beads, there was no trace of blood on her face, and her sweat rolled down like rain, this was a torture that even an iron man could not bear.
"Stop," Princess Wuyang finally spoke, "Why don't you believe that I am Bai Qianfan?" ”
"Bai Qianfan will not kill her husband."
"But I'm now the princess of Wuyang in Nanyuan, and I'm carrying the mission of the whole country, so I can't help but kill you."
The emperor insisted, "No matter who she is, she will not kill me." Don't go around in circles with me anymore, speak quickly. ”
Princess Wuyang glanced at Ruzhu and hesitated, "Okay, I said, she is married to General Lan." ”
The emperor's face sank, "When did it happen?" ”
"Married on the same day as me, I came to Dongyue, and she married to the General's Mansion."
The emperor got up and walked to the window, looking gloomily at the dark night outside, and after a while, he turned around, "Who is the real Princess Wuyang?" ”
"She, she is."
The Emperor came over and sat down again, "Who are you, and why do you look exactly like her?" ”
"I am ......"
"Can't say," Ruzhu shouted in pain. "We're going to die."
"I won't kill you, but I'll make your life worse than death," his tone was flat, but Princess Wuyang shivered coldly.
Ning Jiu didn't know what tricks he used, Ruzhu's tone changed, and when he heard it, people panicked, Princess Wuyang bit the back of her teeth, "If I say it, will you let us go?" ”
"Not necessarily," the Emperor casually stroked his robe, "but it will only be worse if you don't say it." ”
Princess Wuyang looked at Ruzhu, Ruzhu had passed out, Ning Jiu's chin was raised, and a guard immediately brought in a bucket of water and poured it on Ruzhu's body, in the late autumn night, the chill suddenly rose, cold to the bone, Ruzhu was so excited that she shivered, and slowly opened her eyes, Ning Jiu didn't know when there was an extra sharp knife in her hand, pinched Ruzhu's chin, and stroked it without saying a word.
"Stop, I'm a thousand-faced person, my name is Ruyu," Ruyu cried, "don't touch her." ”
"What is a Man with a Thousand Faces?" The emperor asked.
Ruyu completely lost her arrogance, and twitched and shook, "The Thousand Faces Man is a kind of witchcraft in Nanyuan, raised with medicine since childhood, and whoever is with the Thousand Faces will look like whom, will imitate each other's character and mannerisms, and then take the opportunity to replace them." ”
"So you want to kill me and replace me?"
Princess Wuyang was silent, but the answer was obvious.
The emperor sighed, "The Empress of Nanyuan has been planning for a long time, starting from sending Zhuge Jinyu to Murong Yuan's side, step by step to today, so it is still her credit that I can be this emperor." He paused, and a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "She has set up such a big game, and I have waited patiently for so long, thinking that there will be such a wonderful scene, but it is actually like this, thinking that with the three of you can subvert my Dongyue, the brain of the Empress of Nanyuan is under the footboard?" ”
He sneered and spoke disrespectfully, Ruyu couldn't bear it, "You are not allowed to insult our majesty, she is doing this for the people of Nanyuan." ”
"Really?" The Emperor sneered, "Say it, I'm listening." ”
Ruyu wiped her eyes, "Our Nanyuan is a beautiful country, there is no dispute with the world, in our country, there are countless exotic flowers and plants, all kinds of beasts are friendly with us, we have a large number of rich gold mines underground, everything is so beautiful, but we are also a cursed country." From ancient times to the present, our number of people has never decreased, not increased. In our country, there is only the palace guard, and if another country invades, we will not be able to send troops to fight it. We rely on natural barriers to protect ourselves, but every few years, someone will try to invade and kill our people, take away our gold, medicines, spices, weaving, ......"
"So he wants to find someone to replace me, control Dongyue in his own hands, and become his backup country, so that he is not afraid of other countries attacking?" He pondered for a moment, "But even if this is the case, can you break the curse on Nanyuan?" Does she have other plans? ”
Having already said this, Ruyu has no need to hide it anymore, and said, "Your Majesty plans to immigrate the people of Nanyuan to the territory of Dongyue after taking control of Dongyue. Then some people moved from East Vietnam to live in the southern plains. ”
"I see." The Emperor said, "She thinks that Nanyuan is uninhabitable, so she wants my people to be substitutes for the dead, to watch over the gold mines and resources for her, and to let her people live and work in peace and contentment in my territory in Dongyue." For this unbelievable and whimsical plan, the Empress Nanyuan began to plan many years ago, "But the emperor still didn't understand," Could it be that he left Bai Qianfan in Dongyue just for today? ”
"No, it was a last resort for His Majesty to leave the princess in Dongyue, His Majesty's previous target was the former crown prince Murong Yuan, but later, when the reputation of the emperor's beloved wife spread to Nanyuan, the plan changed."
The emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that the culprit of all this was himself. Loving someone is well known and has become a weakness that everyone in the world knows.
"She later used the portrait to lure me to Nanyuan, did she want to kill me?"
"No, if the emperor dies in Nanyuan, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world and cause trouble for Nanyuan."
"Wouldn't it be okay to quietly kill me, block the news, and let the Thousand Faces return to Dongyue instead of me?"
"At that time, the thousand-faced man pretending to be the emperor was not ready, and the thousand-faced man needed to stay by the emperor's side often, have the opportunity to contact the emperor's body, and there must be a process to transform."
The emperor glanced at Ning Jiu, and Ning Jiu immediately went out and whispered a few words to Hao Pingguan, and Hao Pingguan's face instantly turned pale.
The emperor continued, "I probably know, your empress led me to Nanyuan just so that I could see Qianfan and Lan Wenyu together, so that we could create a gap between our husband and wife, and only by letting me distance myself from Qianfan will you not show your flaws, right?" ”
Ruyu nodded, "Although people with a thousand faces can be exactly the same in appearance, for people who are familiar with and are close, there will still be loopholes in some behaviors, and distance is the best way." ”
The emperor had conceived all kinds of things before, but he didn't expect the empress's plan to be so groundbreaking, and without anyone knowing, using a fake emperor to control Dongyue, in his opinion, this plan is too ridiculous, even if he pretends to be his appearance, can he pretend to be his heart?
He didn't kill Ruyu and Ruzhu, but locked them up in Xihua Palace, which was very large but very remote, and rarely arranged for people to live in it. For the concubines of the harem, it is almost equivalent to a cold palace.
