Chapter 430: Sour Plum
"You bastard!" Emperor Xingyuan took the case and was furious.
"Bastard?" King Xiu dragged Xin Yu into his arms, and the short blade against her pierced the padded robe and poked into the soft skin.
The pain made her frown instinctively.
Emperor Xingyuan's anger was suddenly frightened.
King Xiu's emotions came up, and his eyes were red staring at Emperor Xingyuan: "I was forced by you too!" I can endure the neglect of nearly 20 years, and I can bear being pressed by Chen Yi. Chen Yi is finished, your eyes are only on Xin Yu, I can bear it. But I didn't expect that I was going to establish a prince, and you were crowned a queen at this time in order to make Chen You the crown prince! Do you know how much sympathy and ridicule I have endured since the news spread? How much nasty gossip have you heard? You know, you just don't care!"
The more Xiu Wang spoke, the more he hated, and the hand holding Xin Yu became harder and harder.
"Yes, I ignored your feelings...... But Ayu is innocent—"
"She's not innocent!" King Xiu hissed and roared, "How could she be innocent? Didn't you choose Chen You because of her? She is kind to Chen You, in order to give her a worry-free future, you would rather choose a little doll than choose me, the eldest son!"
Seeing King Xiu's madness, Emperor Xingyuan was terrified: "No matter what, you put down the knife first, and I can do it today...... I will never coax you."
"Hehehe." King Xiu laughed, full of sarcasm, "If I cared about this life, I wouldn't have entered the palace today. Don't you understand at this time, I just want Xin Yu to die with me, and I want you to see you and Queen Xin's daughter die tragically in front of you, and you can also taste the taste of powerlessness!"
"I...... I have something to ask." Xin Yu spoke again.
For Xin Yu, Xiu Wang was patient: "You ask."
"Later, it was rumored that Mr. Songling was the queen's person, and it was the news from His Royal Highness King Xiu?"
"Not bad." King Xiu's tone was a little smug, "Jin Linwei took the portrait and looked for people everywhere, but unfortunately I recognized that the person on the portrait was the young man who entered the Qingsong Bookstore at night. At that time, Gu Changbo was suddenly killed by a rod, and hundreds of officials speculated about the cause of his death. Gu Changbo, Qingsong Bookstore, Jinlinwei...... Putting all of this together, it's not hard to have this inference, right?"
"His Royal Highness King Xiu is really keen and transparent." Xin Yu praised it, and then asked, "That said that Miss Kou controlled Mr. Songling, and you also spread the news?"
"Yes. Shouldn't Yuzu thank me for helping you make up your mind to get in front of people?"
"His Royal Highness, Zhang Shoufu, Sun Shangshu and those people are really helping each other."
"Don't tie me up with them." King Xiu seemed to be insulted, and pressed Xin Yu's hand harder, "It's just that Queen Xin wants to implement a new policy and offend too many people, and those people can't wait to crush her to ashes." I didn't have to do anything, just a few pieces of news, and they couldn't wait for all kinds of actions......
Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but open his mouth: "You colluded with those greedy silverfish, and you still don't admit it?"
"Why should I collude with them? They can use Chen Yi's biological mother, Concubine Shu, and uncle, Gu Changbo, and they don't care about the fate of these fools. Isn't I, a down-and-out prince with a humble biological mother and a father who doesn't love him, become a puppet? What's more, if the new policy can be implemented smoothly, the treasury will be full, the people will live in peace, and the Great Xia country will continue for a longer time, isn't this a good thing for me as a prince? Besides, those who work hard for the New Deal have their own Ayu, and those who offend the gentry have their own Ayu, hehehe-"
Xiuwang suddenly looked sideways at the door, and dragged Xin Yu back two steps, so that his back was against the vermilion lacquer column.
He Qingxiao walked in.
He was pale and cautious, lest he might provoke King Xiu, who had fallen into madness.
Xin Yu looked at He Qingxiao, and her face changed slightly.
Outside the palace, she "saw" King Xiu die under the sword of the guards, and thought that King Xiu had a conflict with the man, resulting in death.
But it turned out to be for her.
Her eyes never saw the picture of her presence, and there was no He Qingxiao in that picture. Was it his sudden decision to enter the palace that caused the picture to be different from reality?
The appearance of He Qingxiao raised Xin Yu's heart, which had always been calm.
King Xiu looked at He Qingxiao
, raised his eyebrows: "Changle Hou is here to find Ayu?"
"The minister has something to report to His Majesty when he enters the palace."
"Don't hide it." King Xiu sneered, "You're afraid that I shouldn't have come because I can see your feelings for Xin Yu. Since it's here—"
King Xiu paused, and his expression was playful: "Father, do you want your son to give it a try for you, how sincere is your prospective son-in-law to Xin Yu?"
King Xiu didn't wait for Emperor Xingyuan to respond, his eyes were undisguised evil: "Changle Hou, if you cut off your right arm, I will release Xinyu."
"Is that true?" He Qingxiao asked.
"Whether it's true or not, you have to try it to find out, who let Xinyu in my hands." Xiuwang smiled coolly.
He Qingxiao looked at Xin Yu fixedly.
"Okay." He held out his hand to one of the Praetorian guards.
The janissary with the long knife in his hand was momentarily at a loss.
"Give it to me."
As soon as the guard's hand was released, the long knife reached He Qingxiao's hand.
He looked down at the sharp knife and raised his eyes to meet Xin Yu's eyes.
Xinyu blinked lightly and bit her lip hard.
"Why, can't you do it?"
Looking at King Xiu's cold eyes, He Qingxiao said calmly, "I hope His Royal Highness King Xiu will keep his promise."
As soon as the words fell, he turned his left wrist and slashed at his outstretched right arm.
At this time, there was silence in the hall, and everyone's attention fell on He Qingxiao, including King Xiu.
And when He Qingxiao raised the knife, two words suddenly sounded in the ears of King Xiu, who was waiting for the result: "Sour plum."
King Xiu flashed uncontrollably.
And this short period of time is enough for both Xin Yu and He Qingxiao.
Xin Yu raised his foot and kicked back, using his strength to pounce on the left front.
Originally, King Xiu held her arm with his left hand and a dagger in his right hand. If she pounces forward to the right, Xiuwang, who is holding her with her left hand, will be carried sideways at that moment. And choose the left front, the amplitude of the body of the show king is the smallest in a very short period of time.
The long knife that fell without hesitation grazed the outstretched right arm, and at that moment it was thrown out of its hand, like an arrow stabbing straight at King Xiu.
All this is a long story, but it is actually a lightning and a fire.
King Xiu staggered back, looking down at the sharp knife that sank into his chest.
The knife pierced through the chest, revealing only the hilt.
The dagger smashed on the gold brick and made a sound of gold and stone, which woke everyone up.
Emperor Xingyuan stood up and shouted, "Take down King Xiu!"
The guards surrounded him, looking at King Xiu, who was spitting blood, and he didn't know whether to cut or tie it up for a while.
Emperor Xingyuan also reacted, walked down the steps quickly, and ordered the guards to retreat.
King Xiu's back was against the Zhu Zhu, supporting him without falling. His gaze crossed Emperor Xingyuan and fell on Xin Yu.
Xin Yu had already stood up and turned to look at King Xiu.
He Qingxiao was beside her, standing side by side.
"Yu-" Xiuwang shouted, and blood poured out as he spoke.
Just now, Xin Yu and He Qingxiao blinked their left eyes lightly, indicating the direction in which she was about to dodge, and the number of blinks represented the number of silent thoughts in her mind.
The tacit understanding between each other allowed her to successfully get out, but at this time, looking at such a show king, Xin Yu only felt uncomfortable.
This is not all because of King Xiu.
At the center of the whirlpool of imperial power, who can guarantee that they will not become another show king?
She walked over step by step and stopped not far from King Xiu.
"Yuzu." King Xiu shouted again, and Wen Sheng asked the girl whose face had become blurred, "What's wrong with Sour Mei?"
Xin Yu replied to him, "On the way back from Guangcheng, His Royal Highness King Xiu gave me the sour plum, and I always remember the taste."
At that time, she took the plums handed to her by the gentle young man, sweet and sour, and quenched her thirst.
For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder, could her alienation and vigilance be too much, and King Xiu really regarded her as a sister?
King Xiu curled the corners of his lips when he heard this, and although the face of the girl in front of him was more blurred, he kept looking at her, voice
Intermittently: "Ayu...... I've heard you're going to look at it...... Is it true?"
After a brief pause, Xin Yu nodded, "Yes."
"Advance...... Before entering the palace, you said that I should enter the palace another day...... Do you see that my time of death is near?"
Xin Yu watched the blood gushing out of the corners of Xiuwang's mouth condense into blood lines, and his throat was astringent: "Yes."
"Yuzu...... Thank you then......" Xiuwang raised the corners of his mouth, and his body slid down a little against the pillar.
