Chapter Ninety-Six: Killing the King
The eunuch behind Xiao Huaijin reminded: "The emperor should go quickly, the empress dowager is in a hurry." ”
As soon as she saw that someone was leaving, Wanxiang grabbed Xiao Huaijin: "What about Jingjing?" ”
"Jing Jue has been found, go over first."
Hearing Xiao Huaijin's answer, Wanxiang walked with him in the direction of the city tower with peace of mind. Xiao Huaijin pulled over the incense, covered her cold hand and asked, "Is it cold?" ”
"It's fine."
The little eunuch and the guards next to him sent the group up to the city tower with their heads in their heads. Wanxiang followed Xiao Huaijin and stood a little far away from the emperor.
The imperial city is illuminated by lights as if it is day, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, and the shouts of worship of all the people, make people have to sigh the majestic atmosphere of the imperial city.
The scene was terrifying, but there was no wave on Juanxiang's face. Holding Xiao Huaijin's hand, he refused to let go.
The people around the prince next to him all glanced at these two hands with envy, and Bai Xiuzi, who was not far away, looked at the fireworks intently, but his mind had already drifted out of the clouds.
At this time, a little girl came over and stood beside Xiao Huaijin: "Your Excellency is the King of Pingnan?" ”
Wanxiang looked back at the green clothes, and then turned her head to continue to look at the flowing lights and shadows below. Because the emperor was not far away, Xiao Huaijin had to answer: "Yes." ”
"Don't you ask who I am?"
Xiao Huaijin was silent, raised his hand to take the incense, and wrapped the person in his brocade to watch the fireworks.
Gazan saw that he was bored, so he turned and went back.
Seeing that the people were gone, Wanxiang reminded in a low voice: "The princess of the Su clan asked you." ”
"I didn't hear that."
“……”
There was a row of guards standing behind the emperor, and Wanxiang watched Gazan walk back to the side of the Empress Dowager, and the two of them whispered silently for a while, and when they turned around, a silver light flashed in their eyes.
The man standing next to Xiao Huaijin shouted, "There are assassins!" ”
Xiao Huaijin heard the voice, and also saw the knife light in the dark rushing to the emperor's side in a few steps, raising his foot and kicking away the knife that stabbed the emperor.
Unexpectedly, a large number of people were mixed in the forbidden army at this moment, and they took advantage of the chaos to run to the emperor's side. The female dependents screamed in fright, and Wen Chen wanted to stop him, but he couldn't even grab the sleeves of other people's clothes.
Xiao Huaijin and Bai Xiuzi were busy protecting the emperor, and in a panic, a knife stabbed Gazan beside the Empress Dowager.
Gazan hurriedly shouted and hid behind the emperor, Xiao Huaijin reached out and grabbed the assassin's wrist, dodging the vital point but still getting scratched on his hand. Wanxiang took the opportunity to see that the person who was caught by Xiao Huaijin was Xiao Huaihui.
The world offered a reward for the capture of Xiao Huaihui, and he actually had the ability to return to the imperial city, and even mixed into the forbidden army.
Just as she was about to protect Xiao Jingyu on the side, Wanxiang saw someone not far away pull out a knife and stab Xiao Huaijin in the shoulder.
"Lord Wang!" Wanxiang couldn't care about Xiao Jingyu anymore, and reached out and pulled out the arrow in the quiver of the passing guard and threw it forward, just inserting it into the man's arm.
Seeing that his knife fell to the ground, Wanxiang rushed over and kicked the person off the city tower, scaring the Empress Dowager and almost falling.
The people under the castle tower fled in all directions, and those who fell down became bloody on the stone slabs.
No matter how capable Xiao Huaihui is, in the face of the 100,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, the assassination is just an egg hitting a stone. Probably because he had already expected that he would die, that was why he was so crazy.
Although the people he brought in could be ten at a top, they couldn't stand the guards around the emperor rushing up one by one.
Seeing that Xiao Huaijin was protecting the emperor, Wanxiang had no choice but to take off the fox fur and throw it on the face, snatching the big knife in the guard's hand and cutting his hamstrings while Xiao Huaihui was not paying attention.
The man immediately fell to the ground, and the guard threw the big knife over his neck.
Even if she was wearing a gorgeous costume, her movements were still so fast that no one could react, she habitually stood in front of Xiao Huaijin, looking at everyone like a wolf.
It seems that if someone comes up and moves Xiao Huaijin, she will tear people apart and swallow them into her mouth and chew them.
Gazan on the side was just about to move, but Juanxiang suddenly turned around and scared her so much that she didn't dare to move immediately.
Seeing that Xiao Huaihuo and the people who came in were all dead.
The panic has not yet settled down, and the city tower that was still lively just now became silent, and only Xiao Huaihui's laughter could be heard, and he began to go crazy little by little.
The emperor, who had been shrinking behind Xiao Huaijin, finally came out and faced Xiao Huaihui: "Nine Emperor Uncles, you actually came back by yourself." ”
"I'm not coming back? I still have to be forced to death by you! ”
"If Nine Emperor Uncle hadn't been so obsessed, I might have spared your life."
"Hahahaha...... Joke! Xiao Huaihuo continued to laugh: "It's a big joke, the emperor has wanted to kill me a long time ago, right?" So, here I am, I don't plan to live.
If you drag the emperor to death, it will be worth it. It can be regarded as a revenge for Grandma! ”
"Auntie?" The emperor looked down at him: "Don't think that I don't know, you are conspiring with her behind your back, intending to rebel!" ”
"Has the emperor forgotten that I had a marriage contract with my concubine, and you forced Yuan Qi to send my concubine to the palace! It's you! Treat my precious concubine as mud!
On the surface, she is a favorite concubine, but she is worried every day like walking on thin ice, and you know everything better than me during this period, right? If you can treat her well, why should I go out of my way to take her away? ”
"Uncle Huang only hates me because of this?"
"Shouldn't you hold a grudge? You are a king, and you can take everything in the whole world, including wives. ”
Wanxiang listened to all this indifferently, and had no time to care about the grievances and grievances of those people, and looked back to see if Xiao Huaijin was injured. A person next to him picked up the fox fur on the ground, patted it twice and sent it to Wanxiang's side: "Imperial sister-in-law." ”
Listening to the man's voice, it should be the same person who shouted 'There is an assassin' just now.
Wanxiang looked up at the person who handed the fox fur, I don't know if it was because of the same father, this person's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xiao Huaijin, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Huaijin had said that it was his seventh brother Xiao Huaiyue.
So Wanxiang took the fox fur and replied, "Thank you." ”
Turning around and picking up Xiao Huaijin's hand, he saw a wound on the boss: "Lord Wang......"
"It doesn't matter."
Wanxiang picked up her hand and sniffed it, seeing that Xiao Huaijin's lips were pale and swaying, Wanxiang hurriedly tore off Xiao Huaijin's wrist in her clothes: "Lord, we have to hurry back to the house, the knife is ......"
The emperor looked back at Xiao Huaijin: "Is the sixth emperor uncle good?" ”
"Poison on the knife." As soon as Wanxiang said this, the Queen Mother was so frightened that she fell backwards, but fortunately she was supported. She pointed at Xiao Huaihui: "You kill the king!" You...... Execute this thief! Five horses split into corpses! ”
"Call the Imperial Doctor."
Wanxiang raised her head and said to the emperor: "This poisonous doctor can't solve it, I have to go back to the house, I have a way." ”
"Then take the Sixth Emperor Uncle back to the house."
Wanxiang helped Xiao Huaijin and was just about to leave, when Xiao Huaihui, who was not far away, suddenly shouted: "Brother Six Emperors! ”
Xiao Huaijin stood still and looked back at Xiao Huaihui who was pressed to the ground by a knife: "Huaihui doesn't mean to be your enemy, Huaihui just wants to live!" ”
Xiao Huaijin didn't speak, he raised his foot and was about to walk down the city tower with Wanxiang, and the people behind him were still shouting: "Brother Huang! Since ancient times, emperors are the most ruthless, today you protect him, and in the future he will kill you. Today is me, and the next one is you, Brother Huang! Before, it was Concubine, and then it was Pingnan......"
"Kill."
Someone around him advised: "Your Majesty, on the second day of the first lunar month, it is not appropriate to see blood." ”
"If I say I can see it, I can see it."
Afterwards, Wanxiang heard the sound of the blade cutting through the flesh and cutting off the neck bone, and could no longer hear Xiao Huaihui's mournful shout.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor executed the thief Xiao Huaihui, and blood splashed the city tower.
is so thrilling, but Wanxiang doesn't look scared at all. Bai Xiuzi saw Xiao Huaihui's head fall to the ground, and watched Wanxiang leave.
As soon as Wanxiang got in the car, she took out the medicine box that had been placed in the car, and Xiao Huaijin was already dizzy and her hands and feet were weak.
Wanxiang comforted him while stuffing the medicine into his mouth: "Don't worry, the prince is just a simple medicine." It's going to be fine. ”
"You're here, I'm naturally at ease, and I dare to swallow arsenic."
Wanxiang lowered her head and took out a silver needle and stabbed it into Xiao Huaijin's fingertips and squeezed out a little blood: "You can talk nonsense." ”
This poison didn't matter much to Wanxiang, but the city tower was in a mess, and he didn't want Xiao Huaijin to continue to mix in it, so he found an excuse to go back to the house to hide and be quiet.
Xiao Huaijin raised his eyes and took a look, and found that something was missing from Wanxiang's bun: "Your hairpin has fallen off." ”
"If it falls, it will fall, and the prince will buy me a shop for me another day, so why don't you just make hairpins for me?" Wanxiang wiped the black blood on the needle and received the needle into the box: "Is it because of today's situation, King Yi will definitely not make any big trouble, so the prince stepped forward?" ”
"I'm close to the emperor, Xiao Huaihui is too slow, if you don't step forward, maybe someone will make a fuss afterwards."
"The prince is too careful."
In fact, Wanxiang couldn't bear to say that Xiao Huaijin was too careful, so she was more likely to be remembered. However, the holy will is unpredictable, maybe Wanxiang guessed wrong.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Huaijin's mind still recalled Xiao Huaihui's last few words. Wanxiang helped him up the steps, but Xiao Huaijin turned his head to look in the direction of the city tower.
