Chapter 230: Concubine Xuan Gives Death
The genius was just slightly bright, there was no one on the street, Mu Lingyun paced back and forth at the gate of the palace anxiously waiting for Jin Shaoming to come back, if she didn't know that he was to help the emperor find out the inside story, and didn't want to destroy Jin Shaoming's plan, she would have rushed to the palace to find Concubine Xuan, and heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, she looked at the corner of the street, and the figure she was looking forward to appeared around the corner.
She saw that Jin Shaoming's eyes were shining, and the sound of the horse's hooves clattering stopped at the gate of the palace, Jin Shaoming turned over from the horse, and was hugged by Mu Lingyun, as if he was afraid that he would be blown away.
"But I'm scared to death." Mu Lingyun said angrily in his arms, she had been at the door since it was not dawn, and she had been waiting for half an hour, but she was tormented as if she had been waiting for several hours.
"I'm fine, don't you think I'm back now?" Jin Shaoming put his arm around Mu Lingyun's waist with one hand, and stroked Mu Lingyun's hair with the other, as gentle as a child.
Because the two of them gradually became lively on the street, the pedestrians around them looked sideways at their sweetness, Mu Lingyun reacted and blushed slightly, came out of Jin Shaoming's arms, and the two went back to the house hand in hand.
Back in the room, Jin Shaoming pulled Mu Lingyun to the seat next to him, Jin Shaoming looked at Mu Lingyun's clear eyes, and said first: "Yesterday I went to Concubine Xuan's banquet, and she really showed her feet. ”
"Your Majesty, do you believe it?" Mu Lingyun was worried that the emperor would blame Jin Shaoming for taking such a risky way to verify Concubine Xuan because of his feelings.
Jin Shaoming nodded slightly, and said with relief: "The emperor knows that this matter is about the country, and he will not let Cen Guo enter a crisis because of his children's personal affairs." ”
Mu Lingyun let go of the stone in her heart, but she said again: "But the emperor believes that Concubine Xuan has no evidence, how can he convict her?" ”
Jin Shaoming's eyes showed a twinkle: "The emperor has long been prepared for this, he will lure Concubine Xuan and the prince of the shadow country to meet, when the time comes, as long as we capture the two of them on the spot, the evidence will be conclusive, and Concubine Xuan will definitely die." ”
The next morning, Jin Shaoming had already inquired before, Concubine Xuan would walk around in a fixed place in the palace every day, he waited with the emperor early in the garden where Concubine Xuan would pass by every day, waiting for her to pass by to watch the play, and soon Jin Shaoming saw Concubine Xuan coming from a distance, he signaled the emperor with his eyes, and the two began to act.
Concubine Xuan walked through the garden along the road, and saw the emperor and Jin Shaoming from a distance, Jin Shaoming faced her, but did not notice that Concubine Xuan saw that he was eagerly whispering something to the emperor with his back to her, she pretended to hang out, slowly approached them, and eavesdropped on the conversation.
Jin Shaoming saw Concubine Xuan walk in out of the corner of his eye, the cat was behind a thick tree not far from them, only poked out a small head to watch their every move, he lowered his head and made a look at the emperor, then raised his voice, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the recent lack of armament, if the enemy country wants to invade at this time, I'm afraid we will not be able to resist." ”
Jin Shaoming's eyes were really anxious and slightly frowned, Concubine Xuan saw it in her eyes, and then she heard the emperor's low and helpless voice: "This matter is not trivial, you must not let others know, so as not to cause turmoil." ”
Jin Shaoming sighed before saying, "It can only be like this." The two of them walked off into the distance.
Concubine Xuan eavesdropped happily, and secretly rejoiced in her heart to get such good information, she really stepped on the iron shoes and had nowhere to go, and it was no effort to get it, she wanted to quickly tell the prince such an important news, by the way, she didn't see her for many days, and she missed it very much.
Jin Shaoming and the emperor walked around the corner, and saw Concubine Xuan walking back from behind the tree, the two glanced at each other, knowing that she had taken the bait, and now they just need to wait for Concubine Xuan to find the prince of the shadow country to pass on information.
Jin Shaoming said goodbye to the emperor, quietly followed behind Concubine Xuan, Concubine Xuan returned to her palace, there was still no one here, she returned to her room, and soon after, she changed into the clothes of the people and came out, looked around vigilantly, and only after making sure that there was no one, did she tiptoe away.
Jin Shaoming followed behind Concubine Xuan, bypassed the downtown area, walked more and more deviated, and arrived in a mountain forest, Concubine Xuan walked lightly on the ground without a road, all based on her understanding of this place, otherwise ordinary people would definitely get lost, and after quietly following Concubine Xuan for a while, Jin Shaoming saw that in the depths of the mountain forest, there seemed to be smoke rising.
Concubine Xuan also walked to the man's house, pushed open the door by herself, and when she reflexively wanted to close the door, she looked around vigilantly, but fortunately, Jin Shaoming was secretive and timely and was not discovered.
At this time, a man came out of it, dressed in white coarse cloth, who looked like a farmer, but Jin Shaoming had also seen him and knew that he was the prince of the Shadow Kingdom.
When the prince saw Concubine Xuan coming to him again in such a short time, he was a little surprised and asked, "What happened in such a short period of time?" ”
Concubine Xuan closed the door and turned around, looked at the prince and nodded slightly, stepped forward and walked in front of the prince, she was also wearing a coarse cloth coat, which was pure black and the same as the prince's body, like a husband and wife, she said categorically: "I overheard the conversation between Jin Shaoming and the emperor today, Cen Guo is now short of troops, if we raise troops to attack now, we can easily take Cen State." ”
When the prince heard this, there was no joy on his face, he was slightly stunned, as if he couldn't believe the news, and he asked suspiciously: "Can this be believed?" ”、
Concubine Xuan nodded vigorously, looked at the prince with firm eyes, and pressed his shoulders with both hands: "This is what the emperor and Jin Shaoming said privately and said extremely carefully, I believe this is true." ”
When the prince heard Concubine Xuan's affirmation, he believed it with confidence, and his eyes released the greedy eyes of a hunter when he saw his prey, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly: "I will return to the Shadow Kingdom immediately to regroup, and the Cen Kingdom will be ours in the near future." ”
Concubine Xuan laughed with the crown prince, and her mind was full of beautiful imaginations of the future of the two of them, but this imagination was broken by the voice behind her, it was Jin Shaoming behind her, and his cold voice came: "Concubine Xuan, is there anything else to justify?" Jin Shaoming held a long sword in his hand, looking at the prince of the shadow kingdom who looked confused on the other side, and Concubine Xuan, who had a stiff body.
Concubine Xuan turned around slowly, and saw Jin Shaoming's already cold eyes, and the sword in his hand, the clothes on his body were blown up with a gust of mountain wind, and there was also a sense of coldness, Concubine Xuan looked at Jin Shaoming with resentful eyes and said coldly: "Is it still meaningful to say what I say now?" I'm a turtle in an urn now, am I? ”
The prince of the shadow kingdom reacted at this time, but not to be outdone, he took out a dart from behind him, held it in his hand, and with the other hand, pulled Concubine Xuan behind him to protect him, looked at Jin Shaoming with cold eyes, and said: "Jin Shaoming, I haven't seen you for a long time, since you already know it, then only one of the two of us can walk out from here today." ”
After speaking, he took advantage of Jin Shaoming's inertia to throw a dart at him, the dart flew straight towards Jin Shaoming's head, Jin Shaoming looked at the dart, did not dodge, and looked at the opportunity, he raised the scabbard in his hand, just a light grid, the dart pierced the ground next to him, and the entire blade was buried in the soil, Jin Shaoming was still fixed there, only because of the wind brought by the dart just now and the hair that was blowing slowly drooped.
"Prince, take advantage of people's unpreparedness, is this the style of the Shadow Kingdom?" Jin Shaoming looked at the prince with disdain, if he was hit just now, then he was afraid that he would be a corpse now.
The prince smiled sinisterly, and he took out a dart from his body again: "So what? Another dart was thrown at Jin Shaoming, Jin Shaoming saw that he was stubborn, the scabbard came out of the sword, a cold light flashed, the dart was split into two, and a red line as thin as a hair appeared on the neck of the prince, he opened his eyes, and before he could figure out what was going on, he fell down with his head up.
The trickle of blood on the prince's erect neck on the ground flowed wantonly, soaking the land, and Concubine Xuan's expression was frightened, she couldn't believe what was in front of her, she suddenly raised her head and laughed, laughing, and crying: "This great country has lost another Ming Jun." As if she was crazy, she walked upside down in front of King Ming, who saw her like this, but struck her neck with the scabbard, and Concubine Xuan fainted to the ground.
When Concubine Xuan woke up, she was in the emperor's palace, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at her condescendingly, Jin Shaoming was standing next to her, her hair was scattered, her face was pale, and she looked lost and depressed.
"Concubine Xuan, do you have anything else to say about it now?" The emperor looked at the people below, and his tone was calm, without the previous compassion.
"Now it's up to you, if you want to kill it, you can kill it." Concubine Xuan stood up from the ground, at this time she was very backbone, squinting at the emperor, the hatred and ferocity revealed in her eyes, and she was full of anger.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan's collaboration with the enemy and treason, the evidence is conclusive." Jin Shaoming took a step forward, looked at the emperor with a firm tone and bright eyes.
The emperor nodded slightly, motioning Jin Shaoming to take out the things, Jin Shaoming took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Concubine Xuan, Jin Shaoming said coldly; "The emperor remembered the old feelings, let you take poison, and protect your whole body."
Concubine Xuan sneered, took the bottle, glared at the emperor, and said contemptuously: "Dog Emperor, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" After saying that, she opened the cap of the bottle, tilted her neck, and fell to the ground like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Seeing Concubine Xuan's miserable end, the emperor sighed heavily, stepped off the dragon chair, came to her, and said softly: "I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place? ”
He left the palace, Jin Shaoming followed out, he also glanced at the people on the ground before leaving, only felt pitiful, the sunset shined in through the window lattice, but it was warm Unexpectedly, this palace, the next day, there was news in the palace that Concubine Xuan died of a violent illness because she stayed in the cold palace for a long time.
