Chapter 130: Betrayal
Xiao Yu crouched outside the tent, listening to every move in the tent.
The maid poured the powder from the small paper bag that the black shadow had given her into King Xuan's daily night soup.
Xiao Yu waited and watched the changes, lest he startle the snake.
"Put it down." Xiao Yu heard King Xuan's voice outside the tent.
Immediately after hearing the sound of porcelain hitting the tabletop, the maid left the camp, but looked back with some weakness to confirm that King Xuan had not given a clue before leaving.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yu heard the sound of King Xuan holding the soup, and hurriedly rushed in and avoided the soup.
"White Feather? What are you....... What do you mean? King Xuan was startled by Xiao Yu who broke in in the middle of the night.
"There's something wrong with this soup. I just saw a person give a small paper bag to your personal maid, just now, I saw her pour the contents of the paper bag into your spoon, take the silver needle to try to know, not afraid of 10,000 in case not? Xiao Yu was a little anxious, for fear that King Xuan would not believe him.
King Xuan just nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and took out a silver needle from a small box behind him.
Xiao Yu opened the lid of the soup bowl and put it on King Xuan's table, King Xuan took out a silver needle and dipped it like a dragonfly in water.
Presumably, I don't want anyone to really plot against me.
Xiao Yu must have seen this, so he didn't say anything.
But with a simple dip, the silver needle turned jet black.
King Xuan's hand trembled clearly, but Xiao Yu just held King Xuan, "It's okay, I'm here." β
King Xuan's eyes seemed to be a little frightened, but he also seemed to have some habits mixed with helplessness, as if he still knew in his heart who was planning to kill him. "This is the second time Bai Yu has saved me, that is, Mo Xuan has thanked me here."
King Xuan knelt in front of Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu hurriedly helped him up, "You are the prince, this is not polite." β
King Xuan stood up and sat on the bed on the side, while Xiao Yu stood in the tent, "Does King Xuan know who you have a grudge against King Xuan?" β
King Xuan just smiled and shook his head, looking in the direction of the Empress Dowager's dormitory in the Imperial City.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and it turned out that Jingchen had captured the black shadow.
"Make it clear." After Jingchen came back, the way he spoke became concise and domineering.
The black shadow was just an assassin in a night robe, perhaps because of the dust, the assassin's abdomen was bleeding profusely, staining the floor of King Xuan's tent red.
King Xuan stood up and lifted the assassin's face, recognizing at a glance that it was the guard beside the Queen Mother.
King Xuan seemed to have expected it early, yes, besides the Queen Mother, who else wants him to die so much?
"Who is it that asked you to poison King Xuan?" Jingchen's aura was full, and it seemed to overshadow King Xuan, and his demeanor was full of coldness.
King Xuan only stared at Jingchen for a few moments, and then returned his gaze to the assassin.
Unexpectedly, the assassin looked like a dead man, so he didn't say anything, but bit his tongue and killed himself.
Xiao Yu frowned, and Jingchen removed him from the tent.
"Xiao Luo him....... How can you ......." The dust in King Xuan's eyes would never be so easy, he killed a person without any waves in his heart, and let his blood flow all over the ground, without even frowning.
Xiao Yu was a little weak-hearted, but he still didn't want to tell King Xuan the truth, "He...... Maybe it's because I have been with chivalrous people for too long, so I'm like this. β
King Xuan didn't suspect it, but nodded, "It's late at night, I'm afraid Bai Yu, you're so late at night, won't it be to help me?" β
Xiao Yu just lowered his head and smiled, "I have already placed the seal at the mouth of the camp tent of Deputy General Yu, and I asked King Xuan to deliver it on my behalf, thank you." β
"Naturally, there is no problem, go back quickly, it is late at night, I am afraid that I will be criticized." King Xuan kindly dissuaded, so he naturally took Xiao Yu as a benefactor.
Xiao Yu nodded, walked out of the tent, but stood still, and looked back, "If there is anything that needs me to do, I will definitely try my best to solve problems for you, King Xuan." β
"Thank you." King Xuan clasped his fists and saluted as a token of gratitude.
Xiao Yu walked outside the camp tent, and Jingchen was waiting for him at the door, "Settle down?" β
Xiao Yu was worried that the assassin would suddenly disappear, and the Queen Mother would come to trouble King Xuan.
"Rest assured, there will be no trace left." Jingchen smiled.
Xiao Yu looked at Jingchen's face, as if whenever he talked to Jingchen, Jingchen had a smile on his face.
Jingchen and Xiao Yu walked side by side and walked to the horse's side.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Yu suddenly remembered, shouldn't Jingchen be waiting for himself to deliver the seal back in Zishengxuan at this time?
Jingchen smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yu went out late at night, if I don't follow, if something happens, how can I save you?" β
"That'...... Are you following me? Xiao Yu smiled playfully at Jingchen.
Jingchen touched Xiao Yu's head and inserted the hairpin on her head tightly, "Yes, what's the matter, isn't Xiao Yu happy?" β
"Naturally not!" Xiao Yu threw herself into Jingchen's arms and rubbed it, but Jingchen's face quietly turned red.
Jingchen's hand took Xiao Yu and returned to Zisheng Xuan.
Xiao Yu lay on the bed and fell asleep, while Jingchen added a futon next to her bed to rest.
And at this moment, the Jingwei military camp is not safe for a moment.
The Queen Mother's repeated targeting has left King Xuan with no way out and is full of devastation.
King Xuan lived a life of fear all the time, even so, he never thought of rebelling, but the Queen Mother's aggressiveness again and again made King Xuan at a loss.
Maybe he should really be the enemy of the Queen Mother and Zijue......
If it weren't for the fact that I had to care about brotherhood, I am afraid I would not have ended up today.
King Xuan disposed of the maid who had been bought to drug him, but he was still flustered.
King Xuan paced inside the tent and accidentally caught a glimpse of the formation diagram on his desk.
This formation is the most core formation when Liao and Chaoge fight in a few days.
And this formation map is the only way to crack this formation, if you fail to solve this formation, Liao will be defeated.
King Xuan approached the Broken Formation Diagram, he picked it up and looked at it for a while, then he showed a vicious smile, this was the first time that his desire for revenge was so strong.
In fact, the Queen Mother targeted King Xuan so much, not only because King Xuan had the ability to shake Zijue's status, but because the death of Queen Xuan's mother was inextricably linked to the Queen Mother.
Although no one knows what happened back then, it is certain that if there was no queen mother, perhaps King Xuan's mother is still alive in this world.
King Xuan knew about it early on, but he kept these things in his heart.
But the Queen Mother's weak behavior again and again made these things that had no real hammer become a fact.
The Queen Mother is afraid that King Xuan will do what he will do after learning the truth about his mother's death in the future, so after guarding against it, it is better to cut King Xuan to the root now, this is what the Queen Mother thinks.
But what she didn't know was that King Xuan knew from beginning to end that this matter had nothing to do with her.
Although there is no evidence, as long as the Queen Mother targets King Xuan for one day, this matter will make King Xuan more convinced of his guess.
Now, it's time for King Xuan's revenge......
King Xuan summoned his personal guard to come and handed over the formation map to the guard, "You, day and night, be sure to hand over this formation map to the King of Liao before dawn tomorrow, and tell him that if you want to leave, it is best within three days, otherwise what will happen in the future, this king will not dare to guarantee." β
The guard was stunned for a while, "Lord, you can't do stupid things, this is going to kill your head, even if you are a royal family, you must not be in danger!" If you fail, you are discovered, and in the days to come, you ....... the prince"
Although the former guards all advised King Xuan to find a way out for himself as soon as possible, it was a pity that King Xuan was still immature and young, and he didn't know how many unexpected disasters his thoughts would bring to him.
But now that the Jingwei military camp is growing stronger and stronger, Xiao Yu and Yu Mo have poured their hearts and souls into the Jingwei military camp, if they choose to betray at this time, there will be huge changes and unbearable consequences for the imperial city and even King Xuan himself.
But now that King Xuan has made up his mind, if he wants to go to the court and to Zijue's death, no one can stop him, "Why, don't you even listen to me?" In that case, you can go to the king and visit me, and I will not stop you. β
The guard has followed King Xuan for many years, and is King Xuan's most trusted cronies, and the guards are fully aware of what the Queen Mother has done to King Xuan.
Although the guards also had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother's behavior, they did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.
Although Zi Jue was unruly in the past, he never owed anyone anything, and now King Xuan chose to betray Zi Jue at this time, as if he had given the entire imperial city a fatal blow.
But King Xuan must not be soft-hearted this time, otherwise what will be ushered in is only the unappreciative of the Queen Mother, and all kinds of cruel methods to his death.
The guard had no choice but to salute, "The little one doesn't dare, the prince is a person, for so many years, the little one couldn't be clearer, the little one knows that the prince is not a villain who stabs in the back, so the little one is willing to go to the soup for the prince, and also ask the prince to hand over the task to the little one." β
King Xuan stood up with relief, walked to the guard's side, handed the broken formation diagram to the guard's hand, and patted the guard's shoulder, "Do a good job, if this king ...... If you really win the world, you will be indispensable. β
The guard saluted and took his leave.
King Xuan is restless, although he has made up his mind to kill Zijue, and to make the Queen Mother regret his hardships for so many years, but Chaoge is also the place where King Xuan grew up, and naturally he also has a sense of guilt.
But it was also the Queen Mother who was ruthless and unrighteous to King Xuan first, and King Xuan did not need to blindly accommodate Zijue and the Queen Mother.
It was dawning, and Jingchen walked in with a bamboo basket and put it on the table.
Xiao Yu hadn't woken up yet, lying on the bed and snoring.
Jingchen sat on the bed beside Xiao Yu, looked at Xiao Yu's sleeping face, and couldn't help touching Xiao Yu's face, but he pulled his hand back suddenly, and Jingchen's face instantly turned red, and then became hot.
Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes, "What's wrong...... Why did you get up so early? β
"I ...... I...... I couldn't sleep, so I got up, and you have some breakfast, it's all on the table. Xiao Yu's sudden awakening made Jingchen a little at a loss, his face was flushed, but the naΓ―ve Xiao Yu thought it was due to the cold weather.
Since Jingchen returned, she didn't dare to think about whether Jingchen loved herself deeply, she was afraid of self-denial, and she was even more afraid of listening to Jingchen say the words she didn't want to hear.
Xiao Yu didn't think much about it, but stood up and walked to the table, but Jingchen grabbed Xiao Yu, "Don't you wash your face?" β
Jingchen dragged this, Xiao Yu didn't stand firm for a while, and fell into Jingchen's arms, Xiao Yu's face was so unparalleled in the world that Jingchen was fascinated.
Jingchen suddenly became nervous and hurriedly pushed Xiao Yu away.
