Chapter 29: The Return of the Spirit King
Seeing this, King Xiao raised his leg to be a flying kick.
The concubine Qiangui, who had not yet approached, was kicked away by him at once, and the person hit the wall and fell to the ground, and the dagger hit her heart.
watched himself plan for so long, but ended up like this.
The blood in his mouth couldn't help but spurt out, and then Qian Guifei stared at King Xiao and said.
"Don't think that if Hongu is dead, you can rest easy...... Wait and see...... Sooner or later, the rivers and mountains of Great Wei will be overthrown! ”
"The dying man is still so unclean in his mouth, and when the Spirit King is killed, he is not as hard as you."
"You!"
Concubine Qiangui was already seriously injured, and King Xiao kept stimulating her.
Then, he spoke.
"Speaking of which, the third brother of this king is also not smart, otherwise how could he be deceived by your self-directed and self-acting dramas? All day long, I fantasized about how my father and the crown prince were going to persecute you, and you said that if he knew that you had done all those assassinations, poisoning, and arson, what would he think? ”
"Hahaha, it's been now, this palace ...... What else is there to be afraid of in this palace? No...... If not, how can he be provoked to turn against him? ”
Hearing the words of Qian Guifei's admit, the corners of King Xiao's mouth rose.
He raised his head outside, "Carry in." ”
"Yes."
Seeing that there were four capable guards outside, the Spirit King who couldn't move his whole body was carried in, his eyes were full of disbelief and remorse after being deceived.
Hands and feet cannot move, and mouth cannot speak.
But I still saw that the humble concubine had a tingling scalp.
Lian Sheng said.
"No, it's not! Not ......"
As he spoke, he coughed up blood, and the color of the blood turned from red just now to a little black, and it looked like it had been poisoned.
King Xiao glanced at the short blade, and couldn't help but feel that he had done his own thing, and he couldn't live.
The humble concubine had the heart to explain, but she couldn't do anything.
The toxin spread too quickly, and she was too emotional, so she finally died in the Spirit King's resentment against her.
The eyes didn't even close.
A few cries occasionally flashed outside, revealing desolation.
After it was determined that the concubine was dead, King Xiao unlocked the acupoint of the Spirit King.
His body was able to move again, but the Spirit King did not react at all.
Mu Lengleng looked at his mother who died tragically in front of him, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
After all these years, he turned out to be a pawn in the hands of others.
I thought it was a desperate fight this time, but I didn't expect it to end like this.
First it was wooden, then it was sneering, and then it became a howling cry.
An adult man in his twenties cried more than a child.
King Xiao looked at it, and there was a moment of unbearable in his heart, but he also understood that the Spirit King had to die today, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
So he was silent and let him vent his emotions.
I don't know how long it took, but the night seemed to be a little whiter, and it was almost dawn.
The Spirit King's red and swollen eyes couldn't shed too many tears, and he was more sad than dead at the moment.
Looking out at the sky, he didn't know what was going on in his mind.
After a while, he whispered.
"What about medicine? Take it. ”
The voice was full of calmness, and unknowingly thought that he was going to drink a life-saving elixir, not a deadly poison.
King Xiao handed the medicine bottle from his arms, his eyes dark.
One last word.
"Third brother, let's go, your wife and concubines and children, this king will arrange it properly."
When the Spirit King heard this, he laughed miserably.
Success and defeat have been the same since ancient times.
What if you leave a single life?
Glory, wealth, fame and power are destined to be lost to them.
But at this moment, he looked at all of these very lightly, and in his heart, no one had ever walked in.
I threw my head up and drank it, and it didn't take long for me to feel unbearable abdominal pain.
When the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the Spirit King's Mansion, everything was back to normal.
Ten days later, Princess Ling went to the court, saying that King Ling had an emergency, and Yao Shi passed away without a doctor, and the humble concubine, who had been ill, heard the news and followed.
For a time, the mother and son both died, and the government and the opposition were discussing endlessly.
Some people suspect that there is something behind this, so they ask the prince who is in charge of the country to investigate thoroughly.
So an urgent order came from Shengjing City.
The commander of the Zhang Jiajun in Cezhou and the Taishou investigated thoroughly, and accidentally discovered the evidence of the deputy marshal in the army intending to rebel.
It turns out that the violent death of the Spirit King has something to do with this!
If the deputy marshal failed to win over, he sent someone to poison the Spirit King.
As a result, he didn't expect that he would show his feet so quickly, and when he was captured, his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, even if he wanted to shout grievances, he couldn't do it.
The evidence is ironclad, pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
The entire Zhang Jiajun followed up and down, and all those with dissenting intentions were singled out and sentenced according to their crimes.
The mighty rebellion in Cezhou has finally settled in the summer heat.
The Spirit King was "innocently killed", so he naturally wanted to be rewarded.
But everyone else is gone, so all the rewards have fallen on the Spirit King's Mansion.
The princess was grateful for the prince's benevolence, and the court helped their orphans and widows, so Dayi turned these rewards into all kinds of rice, flour, grain and oil, and distributed them in the name of the court and the prince in Cezhou.
For a time, the people became more and more grateful to Dawei.
In the East Palace of Shengjing City, the prince looked at the secret report sent by his younger brother King Xiao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"The third sister-in-law is a smart one."
In addition to Zeng Konghou by his side, there was naturally Lin Ying, who had returned from injury, and a few others.
They are all the ministers of the humerus of the future prince, so this matter is not hidden from them.
"Pass the order to the sixth brother, let the people of the dark guard camp keep an eye on the Spirit King's Mansion, if there is no change, this prince will ensure that they will have no worries for the rest of their lives, if there is any change, there is no need to show mercy."
"Yes."
The heart of an emperor should be as hard as a stone.
And what the prince is doing at the moment is just what he should do from his standpoint.
Lin Ying withdrew from the study of the East Palace, and after seeing the inexplicable atmosphere between the prince and Lord Zeng, the others also left.
Zeng Konghou still looked like he didn't want to say more, and the prince had changed from the seriousness just now with a new face, and said to Zeng Konghou with a flattering face.
"I've been busy dealing with the affairs of Cezhou these days, and this prince hasn't been on the door of Zeng's Mansion for a few days, and I don't know what happened to Ling Shuang?"
Zeng Konghou replied calmly.
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, my sister is very good."
"Well, that's good, my father and mother have sent a letter from Lushan Academy, asking when Prince Ben will be able to marry Ling Shuang into the East Palace, what does Lord Zeng think?"
"This matter is probably told to me by His Royal Highness, the emperor is wise and martial, and the concubine is empathetic, how can he ask such a thing?"
