Chapter 113 Do you know what is in that brocade box?
This incitement did not produce any results, as people always think about their own life and death first.
The Imperial Concubine stood in the crowd and said, "My Lord, I am only here to avenge the King. If you let him commit suicide, I will immediately order the troops to withdraw. But if he does, all the guards in the palace will point fingers at him. Then it will be a fight to the death, and I will kill you as well."
He is really a person who cannot afford it. Xiao Yunjin saw the eldest prince's look and knew that he was going to hand himself over. "Royal Concubine is really good at tricks. You first killed the king's personal guards, and then forced the king to kill me. Since then, the king has been alone. Whatever the truth is, you can still make it up."
The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief. He almost did what the imperial concubine said just now.
The general of the imperial guard frowned. The night is long and dreams are many. There are external and internal troubles. If the roots are not removed, Qiwu's 200,000 troops may counterattack at any time. He signaled the imperial concubine with his eyes.
The Imperial Concubine also knew that this group of people were just trying to entangle her, so she took the initiative to say, "You are spreading rumors to confuse the people. In addition to the wounds on the assassin's body, hundreds of guards saw you take action. How can you deny it? I am concerned about the blood relationship, but the eldest prince does not care about my feelings. So I can only take action. When you go to the underworld, you can explain to the king yourself!"
As soon as the words fell, no one cared about the eldest prince's reaction, hundreds of guards surrounded them.
"General Qi, protect the king and lead me to fight my way out," Xiao Yunjin made a bold statement and rushed out with his sword. He just realized that he might like Su Muxi when he was hit hard. Murdering her own husband would not let her get what she wanted, but if his wife wanted to play, he could still accompany her.
He originally wanted to help a fool so that the Su family could live happily in the northwest for a few years. He thought Su Muxi also wanted this, to stay away from the court and live a stable life. It seems that he still doesn't know Su Muxi well enough.
"He is the murderer. He is the murderer who assassinated the king." When the king was assassinated for the first time, he was accompanied by a minister. His arm was stabbed by a sword at that time. He recognized Xiao Yunjin as the murderer who assassinated the king.
As soon as he shouted, some ministers who were protecting the eldest prince hesitated. The evidence for the imperial concubine seemed to be solid, but in fact, as Xiao Yunjin had just said, assassination and forcing the emperor to abdicate were all serious crimes of treason.
But now it’s different. Once someone testifies that the people around the eldest prince are the murderers who assassinated the king, the imperial concubine will become the side of justice.
As soon as they hesitated, the eldest prince's situation became more difficult. The royal guards were afraid to kill for fear of the ministers, but the personal guards around him did not have such treatment and they were killed or injured in an instant.
When the minister shouted that Xue Cheng was the murderer, the eldest prince was stunned. He stared blankly at the person who was protecting him, "Why? Why? You are an assassin? How is it possible?" The eldest prince had become incoherent, "Who are you? Why did you hurt me?"
"It is true that I assassinated the king, but everything I have belongs to the king!" Xiao Yunjin simply admitted that he could not hide the truth, "Don't worry, king, I will definitely lead you to kill them."
The eldest prince was dumbfounded. Qi Wu rushed out from beside him and said, "You forged the letter. Only you can bring the letter into the eldest prince's mansion. You framed the king. You are the imperial concubine's man."
Xiao Yunjin smiled bitterly. He couldn't refute what was said. Husband and wife are one. What Su Muxi did was what he did. So he nodded and admitted the crime.
Seeing that he had admitted it, Qi Wu took out his sword and chopped. Xiao Yunjin blocked it and said, "It's better not to fight among yourselves at this critical moment."
It seemed like a light move, but Qi Wu took two steps back before he could stand firm. He was terrified, and even his tone softened. "Since it was you who sneaked into my study that day, do you know what was in the brocade box? And how to open it?"
The relationship had already been torn apart. Xiao Yunjin wanted to find a chance to leave by himself, but he heard Qi Wu's words. He had never been to Qi Wu's study, so the person who went there could only be Su Muxi. Xiao Yunjin became interested, "Tell me, if it suits my taste, I will take you out, and then we can bring back 200,000 troops, and the king will still be the king."
Qi Wu didn't have his skills, and he was still at ease even when surrounded. "Take me and the king out first, otherwise you will never know the secret inside. I can tell you clearly that it is related to a prince of Yun Dynasty."
The Imperial Guards pressed on tightly, and Qi Wu finally realized that Xue Cheng was not the eldest prince's man, nor was he someone close to the imperial concubine. He was from the Yun Dynasty and was most likely a counselor to a certain prince. Naturally, he would be interested in the things in the brocade box.
Xiao Yunjin was really interested now. "Okay, you are familiar with the palace. Are there any secret passages or secret rooms? Or find a smaller palace."
Qi Wu understood what Xiao Yunjin meant. A small place would make it easier to hide, and secondly, no matter how many guards there were, they would just be decorations.
As it was a matter of life and death, the eldest prince trusted Qi Wu and knew that he was trying to win over Xue Cheng, so he took the initiative to say, "Go to the west hall, there is a secret escape passage there."
Xiao Yunjin let go of his hands and feet, focused on one position, and soon opened the way to the West Palace. Qi Wu protected the eldest prince to find the secret escape route, and Xiao Yunjin covered their rear.
The East Hall is where the emperor rests, and the West Hall is generally where ministers rest while waiting for court. There are also small lounges inside, which are specially provided for princes, princes, or chief ministers.
Who could have thought that the secret escape passage would be built here? Xiao Yunjin brought people here, and Qi Wu and the eldest prince disappeared as soon as they entered the room.
With a click, the secret passage opened. Qi Wu glanced at the eldest prince, and the two of them entered the secret passage. The eldest prince quickly closed the secret passage.
The two consecutive sounds made Xiao Yunjin frown. He chased two steps and just saw the door of the secret passage closed. Xiao Yunjin exclaimed. He had been scheming against people all day long, but now the situation was reversed. Not only was his own wife scheming against him, but even the stupid eldest prince was scheming against him.
Xiao Yunjin used several tricks in succession to drive away the imperial guards, then used his lightness skills to hide in a small house, leaving behind those few loyal remnants.
Xiao Yunjin did not see the mechanism that opened the secret passage, but he was certainly unwilling to be tricked like this. Before leaving, he cut off a corner of his robe and threw it next to the cabinet where the eldest prince disappeared.
Everyone gathered in the main hall, but there were few people in the back hall. It couldn't be said that the guards that Qi Wu wanted to greet in the main hall just now all died here.
Xiao Yunjin no longer wanted to care about how this farce in the palace would end. He just wanted to find Su Muxi, tie her up, and teach her a lesson, so that she would know what it meant that the husband is the leader of the wife.
