Chapter 166: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

The second princess wiped away her tears, took a deep look at her father again, and then got up and gave way to the bedside.

Ripple took a step forward, sat down gently, and said:

"Don't worry, if you have something to say, I'll listen!"

After speaking, he took the initiative to shake Zhao's hand.

The corners of Zhao's lips hooked, looking at the second princess who was standing still, the second princess knew what her father meant, so she could only retreat out of the room, and then closed the door, and she herself sat on the steps of the door, her face full of remorse.

The room was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of the emperor's slightly heavy breathing, he looked at the empress in front of him, and said with some difficulty:

"Empress, Second Empress. If it is done. Something wrong, I hope you give her a chance to correct it. ”

"Am I giving less chance?"

Ripple looked at Zhao Qian, whose face was like gold paper, and said.

Zhao Qian's eyes opened, his heart ached, and he unconsciously withdrew the hand he was holding to cover the injury, and his speech became weaker and weaker:

"The Empress. You. Got it all? ”

"What are you talking about? Did you use spices and special incense burners to bring down my body? Or is it a private agreement between the second princess and the Panlong Kingdom? Or today's rescue scene, or maybe your bitter plan? The fate of seeking skin with the tiger is that she herself is gnawed and there is not even scum left, and even take your life! ”

Ripple's words were very direct, which made the imperial husband Zhao Qian's eyes widen, he didn't expect the empress to know everything.

"The Empress."

"If you want the throne under my ass, she also wants her to have real skills, but she is far from meeting the standard of being an emperor, she is still self-righteous, and wants to use the Panlong Kingdom to remove stumbling blocks for herself, but she was instead used by the Panlong Kingdom to lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot."

"The matter. It has nothing to do with the second princess! It's me. Curated by me. It's already taken. on your own. 's life, please forgive Huan'er! ”

Ripple's face was pale, he looked at the other party for a while, did not respond, just silently accompanied the other party, and when Zhao Qian's breath weakened, he raised his voice and said:

"Huan'er, come in and talk to your father."

With a "bang", the door was pushed open from the outside, and the second princess rushed in three steps and two steps, holding Zhao's hand, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Ripple turned and walked out of the room, and said to the crowd outside the door:

"You guys get ready, let's go back to the palace, I'm afraid."

Before her words fell, the mournful cry of the second princess came from the room:

"Father's !!"

"Prepare for mourning!"

Ripple commanded with a faint face.

"Yes!"

The courtyard has been cleaned up, and the people who knelt on the ground, the faces of these people are very solemn, these black-clothed dead soldiers are too rampant, and they actually killed the imperial husband of Fengqi Kingdom, no matter who they are, they can't swallow this breath.

Xian Shijun kept hanging his head, he always felt that this scene was familiar, he had been hunted down before, perhaps, he had already guessed.

The next day, the people of the entire Fengqi Kingdom knew that the imperial husband Zhao was assassinated in Zhuo Xiuyuan, and the empress was safe and sound and had returned to the palace.

This news also spread to the other three countries, and the new emperor of the Panlong Kingdom had a pity on his face, why was it not Wu Lianyi's old witch who died, if he missed this opportunity, there would be no second time, after all, it was they who took the initiative to break the cooperation.

The Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom also received the news, their sensitive nerves were stirred again, and now even the Fengqi Kingdom has not been spared, who is so bold that he actually wants to shake the imperial power of the Three Kingdoms at the same time.

With the investigation, all the spearheads are pointed at Panlong Kingdom, the enterprising new emperor, who plays cards out of common sense, like people who will do this kind of thing.

After Fengqi Kingdom finished the funeral of the imperial husband, Ripple received letters from the other two countries, hoping to join forces to deal with Panlong Kingdom.

After reading the national letter, Ripple sneered and said:

"It seems that the emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom has woken up?"

"Yes, it is said that he used the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and when he woke up for a stick of incense, he gathered his ministers, passed the change to the second prince, and asked all the harem concubines to accompany him to the funeral, and the harem of the Xuanwu Kingdom should be angry now."

Hui Zhi handed the sorted out message fold to Ripples.

Since the funeral of the imperial husband was completed, the second queen daughter left the court in the name of filial piety, eating fast and reciting Buddha every day, copying scriptures, praying for the imperial husband, everyone said that she was pure filial piety.

Ripples naturally returned to the court, and the ministers looked at the empress with a ruddy face and high spirits, and they were all a little surprised, it was difficult to associate her with the person who had fainted before.

"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be so surprised, far away from the court, there are no endless excerpts to see every day, I eat well, sleep well, my body is naturally good, and I have a daughter who can share the responsibility, otherwise I will be the one who will hold the national funeral this time."

Ripple played with the white jade phoenix pendant on his waist and said lightly.

"Empress, you are the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Fengqi Country, with the blessing of God, you will definitely be able to become auspicious in trouble, and everything will go well! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Immediately, the courtiers of the organic spirit came out and offered rainbow farts.

Ripple didn't bother to listen, and directly threw the national letters of Xuanwu and White Tiger to everyone and let everyone have an idea.

"What if there's a fraud?"

"If we send troops, but the two countries stand by and watch, will they not fall into their trap"

"Then let them send troops first, and we will send troops at a critical moment to contain the Panlong Kingdom and let them suffer from the enemy on three sides."

"If that's the case, won't you get any good land when you divide the territory?"

This person has already begun to think about dividing up the territory.

"Connected to our Fengqi Country is the Panlong Kingdom, before we unexpectedly captured five cities, they are still thinking of retaking them, the distance is so close, naturally there is a time when you can't prevent it, it is better to do it once and for all."

General Feng Di of the military department came out and said.

This one is in favor of joining forces with the other three countries to take down the Panlong Kingdom.

"General Feng Di is right, but we have just experienced the flood, and the current grain depot is empty, and it looks like the autumn harvest is coming, and I don't know how this year's harvest will be? Now that the army is mobilized, grain and grass are a big problem. ”

The old ministers of the household department only cared about silver and food.

"Ge Aiqing is reasonable, since this is the case, then push back the time to next year's spring sowing."

"Would the other two countries be willing?"

"If they don't want to, they can strike first, and we didn't stop them."

Feng Di spread her hands and said.

"The Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom will never let us watch from the wall, and they are afraid that we will reap the benefits of the fisherman, they will definitely wait for this time."

Ripples said.

Sure enough, Feng Qiguo's reply reached the ears of the emperors of these two countries, although they were a little unhappy, but they could only accept it, after all, Feng Qiguo said that they had not yet found out the truth about the assassination of the imperial husband Zhao, and they did not want to rush to send troops, even if they sent troops, they would have to be famous.

At the same time, the eldest princess came to beg for ripples with a heavy face, and wanted to ask her to tell Mei Yuanzheng, who had returned to her hometown, that Rong Shijun's cough had turned into tuberculosis.
