Chapter 269: Protect Princess Xiao at all costs

"I see."

The emperor leaned back on the back of his chair, and his whole body seemed to relax.

"Since you don't have any special skills, does that mean there is no need to keep you?"

An Yueli seemed to be indifferently and silent, but in fact, the fingers hidden in her sleeves were already tightly curled, once the emperor really had murderous intentions, she could only fight hard.

The two sides were silent for a moment, but it was the emperor who spoke first.

"I heard that the Queen Mother has agreed to let Lao Qi marry the daughter of the Song family. If she happens to be killed because she broke the process of poisoning me, I don't know how Lao Qi will react? ”

An Yueli took a deep breath when she heard this, "Does the emperor have to be like this?" ”

"I have said that as long as you are obedient and do what I tell you, the whole family will survive. But if you are stubborn, if you have to delay time for the sake of long-cherished Xiao and my emptiness and grievances, I can only cut my love. ”

The Emperor said and ordered the so-called evidence on the table.

"Princess Xiao tried to poison the king in vain, and was killed on the spot by the guards. After a search, the superstition of colluding with King Xiao to kill the king was found from his body.

You see, whether you cooperate or not, I have a way to make Su Huai subdued. It's just that if you can admit to his crime of rebellion and kill your relatives in righteousness, I will be very pleased. ”

Speaking of which, An Yueli knew that she would not be able to escape today no matter what.

Either drag Su Qi and Song Hanxiao to die together, or betray his dreams.

After a moment of silence, An Yueli sighed helplessly.

Su Huaixiao was jealous of missing the position of the prince because of his broken leg in his early years, and often cursed the current saint and His Royal Highness the prince in the mansion. Although the courtiers are princesses of Xiao, they are also indignant and frightened of what they have done, and they report it to the emperor today! ”

Seeing that An Yueli finally relented, the emperor finally hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction.

"Very well, remember what you just said. Tomorrow in the palace festival, I want to hear you speak in public. ”

At the same time, the empress secretly summoned the crown prince and the third prince in the palace.

"The queen mother suddenly summoned our brother to the palace, but what are your orders?"

The queen glanced at Mama, who alertly dismissed all the palace attendants in the palace.

When the door of the palace was closed, the queen spoke with a serious expression.

"Do you know that Su Qi and An Yueli entered the palace today."

The third prince didn't know why, "Didn't you say that the Dharma will invite Doctor Su into the palace again?" Why did the Queen Mother bring them now? ”

"It's not the will of the palace, and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother."

The prince shrank his pupils keenly, "Could it be...... Father? ”

The queen clenched her fingers, nervous and at the same time faintly excited.

"These days, your father and emperor are not in good health, and I don't see anyone except the imperial doctor, let alone the concubines of the harem, and even the main palace is not allowed to enter the dormitory.

Now that Su Qi and An Yueli have been recruited into the palace in advance, do you know what this means? ”

The third prince thought of a possibility and gasped in fright.

"Could it be that the father ...... him?"

The queen stretched out her hand and nodded at the other party, "Although the situation is unclear at the moment, we must be fully prepared." Regardless of whether the emperor can survive this catastrophe smoothly, you two brothers must support each other and stabilize the position of the crown prince. ”

The third prince stood up straight and responded with a spirit of 120,000 points.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the sons will do their best to assist the prince."

The prince was also so nervous that his palms were sweating, but his eyes shone with expectation. There is no prince who does not want to succeed to the throne, even if it means that his father has to pay with his life.

"Queen Mother, what are we going to do now?"

The queen looked directly into the prince's eyes, "Over the years, our mother and son have worked hard to finally send the second, fourth, and sixth children out of Beijing. Now there is only one of the five princes in the city who can't support the wall, and the crippled Xiao Wangye. ”

Speaking of which, the prince already has a score in his heart.

"Erchen understands, as long as he stabilizes his dreams, everything is under control."

Who knew that the queen suddenly became ruthless, gritted her teeth and ordered.

"Kill him!"

"What!?"

Rao is the crown prince is ready to give it a go for the throne, but he was still shocked by the queen's words.

The queen's eyes were cold, and she unabashedly displayed her killing intent.

"If it weren't for your father's efforts to destroy his legs, the crown prince would not have fallen to you. However, even so, there are still voices in the market over the years, thinking that long-cherished Xiao is orthodox.

Only by killing him can you inherit the great unification without worries. ”

The mother and son looked at each other quietly for a moment, and the prince's expression gradually became firm.

"The queen mother is far-sighted, and the sons are taught."

The queen bowed her head with satisfaction, and instructed separately: "Go, Su Huaixiao will be handed over to the prince to do it, and you don't have to show mercy to your subordinates, let alone let him see the sun tomorrow." As for the third child, take this time to contact Su Qi and find a way to find out the news of your father from him. ”

"Yes!"

"The retainers take the order."

……

……

Xiao Wangfu.

"What did you say!?"

Su Huaixiao got up, but he couldn't even maintain the illusion of injury.

On a cold day, Xie Yuxi was sweating in a hurry.

"I originally wanted to come directly to the Xiaowang Mansion to ask you for help, but as soon as I left the Mengdan Tower, I saw four or five guards approaching.

I hesitated for a moment and decided to stay and check on the situation first, only to find that they had taken everyone away, including the master and Miss Song! ”

"Where were they taken?"

"Look at the direction, it should be entering the palace."

“!!!”

The next day is the day of the festival, and it stands to reason that An Yueli should be edicted into the palace tomorrow. But now the guards forcibly took it away, which is really suspicious.

Su Huaixiao took off the wrench finger representing his identity and threw it into Jiang Chen's arms.

"Go to see the Seventh Prince and find a way to tell him that there is a change in the palace, the emperor may be in danger, and the prince has the intention of usurping power and seizing the throne."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chen immediately entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

"Then Lord Wang, should we also prepare other countermeasures?"

Su Huaixiao was noncommittal, and just whistled at the empty courtyard. A few seconds later, more than a dozen masked guards silently landed at his feet.

"See Lord Xiao."

Shu Huaixiao commanded in a deep voice: "Go to the camp of the Meng Hu army outside the city and find Deputy General Liu, he knows what to do." Also, find a way to inform the people in the palace to protect Princess Xiao at all costs. ”

"Yes!"

At the command, the guard disappeared from view in an instant. If it weren't for Su Huaixiao's face still gloomy, Xie Yuxi would have thought that what he saw just now was an illusion.

"Lord Xiao, what are we going to do now?"

Su Huaixiao took a deep breath and held back the anxiety in his heart.

"Wait."

If An Yueli was really taken away by that person, then even if he rushed into the palace rashly now, he might not be able to find anyone.

When the time comes, not only will An Yueli not be rescued, but he will also put himself on board.

It's wiser to gather your forces first and then snatch them back!
