Chapter 195: Killing the Tyrant

"My Lord!"

When Si Sha rushed into the bedroom, he only saw two eye shadows flash past his eyes.

Just as he was about to chase after him, he heard Murong Ye on the bed holding his stomach and saying to him, "Go after the assassin!"

"yes!"

Si Sha pointed at the guards rushing in and ordered in a deep voice, "You two stand guard at the door, and the rest of you come with me to catch the assassin!"

Ada led Xuanming around the palace guards and hid behind a rockery. "Fortunately, we got rid of all the guards! I'm not saying anything bad about you, Ah Fa, but you were too ruthless just now. Madam specifically told us to just scare the virtuous king. If you accidentally hurt Madam's precious brother, Madam will definitely punish you severely!"

Xuanming had a black veil on his face. After listening to Ada's nagging, his eyes rolled around, and he slowly bent down, holding his stomach.

Ada looked at him and rolled his eyes in disgust, "You are such a lazy person! Go away!"

Xuanming said nothing. After going around the rockery, he jumped over the wall of Prince Xian's Palace at an angle that Ada could not see and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

When Ah Fa came out of the toilet, he heard the guards in the palace quarreling and looking for the assassin everywhere.

He quickly turned around, went back to the toilet and took off his night clothes before coming out.

After he tied his nightgown around his waist and hid it, he walked towards the guest room while muttering, "Why didn't this Ada wait for me and went to assassinate King Hyeon alone? Now the whole palace knows about it! I wonder if he was caught... Eh?"

Before he could finish his words, Ada suddenly rushed out and dragged him into the shadows beside him.

Ah Fa's eyes fell on Ah Da, and seeing that he had not taken off his nightgown, he curled his lips and said, "Why don't you take off your nightgown? I see the guards of Prince Xian's mansion are shouting and looking for assassins everywhere!"

Ada quickly took off his nightgown and said, "Alright, let's go back to the house. No matter what, we have successfully completed the task assigned by the Madam. Let's not talk about what happened tonight anymore!"

Ah Fa yawned and nodded, "I know, I know. I'm so sleepy. I have to go back to sleep!"

If he had known that Ada could complete the task alone, he wouldn't have bothered to change into night clothes. It would have been much better to go to bed earlier!

Imperial Palace, Hall of Eternal Life.

Xuanming knelt on one knee and reported to Murong Che that there were two waves of assassins in Prince Xian's mansion tonight. "Your Majesty, judging from the content of the conversation between the assassin and his subordinates, the other party should be the people brought by the princess from the northern border. They assassinated Prince Xian in order to frame you, provoke conflicts between you and Prince Xian, and force Prince Xian to rebel as soon as possible."

Murong Che curled his lips and smiled, "If I had known that Sister was so considerate of me, I would not have allowed you to take action tonight."

"Your Majesty, now that the King of Xian mistakenly believes that you sent someone to assassinate him, I'm afraid he may rebel at any time."

"It doesn't matter. I'm just worried that he won't rebel."

Murong Che pondered for a moment, walked to the closet, and took out a nightgown from the bottom drawer.

"I am going to visit General Yu. You will have to work harder tonight. Please come with me."

"It's my job, it's not hard!"

…

The next day, early morning.

Murong Ye didn't sleep the whole night after the assassination attempt last night.

He lay on the bed, thinking for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Sister, you are right, even if I don't make any moves, Murong Che will not let me go. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to burn my boats!"

At the beginning, he let Xue Qingyao enter the palace with the intention of letting her seduce Murong Che. After gaining Murong Che's trust, he secretly put drugs in the soup that Murong Che drank every day, gradually wearing down Murong Che's body.

In this way, he could seize the throne without bloodshed.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Xue Qingyao failed to gain the favor she wished for, and Murong Che's frail and sickly body became worse and better.

Murong Che had long regarded him as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Before, he was under house arrest, but now, they blatantly sent assassins to kill him!

Seeing that he had changed his mind, Murong Mian was very happy, "Aye, you finally figured it out! You must be right to believe in me. I won't hurt you!"

Murong Ye looked up at Murong Mian who was standing beside the bed and nodded vigorously, "Sister, I can't wait any longer now. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. I plan to take action tomorrow and kill Murong Che by surprise!"

Murong Mian asked Afa and Ada to pretend to be assassins in order to strengthen his determination to rebel, but he did not plan to act immediately.

At this moment, after hearing Murong Ye's words, the smile on her lips froze, "Aye, isn't it too early to take action tomorrow? Or should we wait for your brother-in-law's 100,000 troops?"

Jiang Yuanshan's plan was to divide the 100,000-strong army into 20 teams and send them to the capital in batches.

But even if they were sent in batches, the officials along the way might not necessarily become suspicious if the Northern Frontier suddenly sent so many soldiers to Beijing.

Once one of them reports the matter to the court, Murong Che will receive the news. Once he becomes wary of Jiang Yuanshan, it will be difficult for them to do anything.

Thinking about this, Murong Ye's dark eyes slowly narrowed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Even my sister thinks it's fast, then Murong Che certainly can't think that I will act immediately! Now the palace is completely defenseless against Prince Xian's Mansion, we will have a greater chance of winning if we take advantage of the opportunity!"

Murong Mian didn't even think about it, and was convinced immediately, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Murong Ye slowly placed his hand on his abdomen, which was bursting open again, and his eyes were chilling to the bone.

Murong Che, you forced me to do this this time!

If you didn't want to kill me, why would I take the risk and rebel at this critical moment?

After Murong Ye finished talking with his sister, he called Si Sha to have a private talk.

"Send a message to the secret agents stationed in the East Camp tonight and have them pour this powder into the water source of the East Camp."

The only military force in the capital that could directly threaten them was the tens of thousands of soldiers in the East Camp.

As long as the Eastern Camp is abolished, Murong Che's reign as emperor will be over.

Sisha took the powder he handed over with both hands and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

After Si Sha left, Murong Ye turned the jade ring on his index finger and raised the corners of his lips faintly.

Long before he was crowned king, he had already placed many chess pieces in the palace, and now was the time to use his most hidden chess piece.

…

On the outskirts of the capital, Dongdaying.

After Si Sha handed the medicine powder given by Murong Ye to An Zhong, he left quietly.

The action will begin tomorrow, and he has a lot of things to arrange.

These operatives have lived in the East Camp for several years, so it would be safer to leave the drugging task to them.

Several dark soldiers, each holding a packet of medicine powder, went to the water source and kitchen of Dongdaying for drinking water.

However, these scheming people never expected that just as they opened the oil paper bag and before they had time to put the medicine into the water, they heard a cold shout from behind.

"Don't move!"

It turned out that Xue Youli had already written a letter to her elder brother Xue Wuji, informing him in advance that the hidden stakes in the East Camp would take action soon.

Xue Wuji had injured his leg during his previous fight with Night Crow, and had been recuperating at home most of the time recently.

After learning from Xue Youli that Murong Ye was planning a rebellion, he, Yu Minyan, and several other young generals not only took turns keeping watch, but also secretly sent people to keep an eye on the most suspicious people in the East Camp.

As soon as Si Sha left, they locked onto these hidden stakes and caught the man before the drugs were applied.

These hidden stakes were tied up and brought to Xue Wuji, who asked him, "General Xue, what should we do with these people?"

Xue Wuzhi stood in front of the tent. Even though he was still using crutches, the domineering aura he exuded made people dare not look directly at him.

He lowered his eyes and scanned the Anzhu who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "According to military regulations, kill him on the spot!"

The guards panicked and kowtowed to admit their mistakes. "General Xue, we won't do it again! We won't do it again! Please spare our lives!"

Xue Wuji's face was stern and he didn't waver at all. "If we hadn't been prepared today, the entire camp would have been in trouble because of the drugs you gave us! You betrayed the camp and your companions, and you still want to live. You are really delusional! Execute me immediately!"

With a swipe of the knife, several assassins were chopped to death on the spot.

Xue Wuji pointed at the body lying on the ground and ordered, "Find an empty area to bury the body."

They betrayed their companions and deserved to die, but there was no need to humiliate their corpses after death.

The next day, just after dawn, Xue Youli was awakened by the noisy noise outside.

"Banxia, ​​what's going on outside?"

When Xue Youli called Banxia to comb her hair, her eyes were still half closed.

Banxia leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My lady, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Xian has rebelled and is leading more than 10,000 people to attack the imperial city! The rebels have surrounded the four palace gates and are banging on them. I'm afraid they will break in soon! Many people in the harem are scared. The emperor has ordered Concubine Rong and Concubine Li to take charge of the situation! They have ordered everyone to stay in the palace and not to move around! Everyone in Lingyun Palace has gathered in our courtyard to discuss Prince Xian's rebellion, which has caused panic!"

"Then why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Banxia put down the comb and took out a golden swing from her dressing table. "The emperor said that even if the sky falls, he will not allow us servants to disturb your sleep."

Murong Che suddenly confronted Xue Youli yesterday and mentioned Murong Ye's rebellion.

So Xue Youli did not hide anything and stayed up late last night to discuss many ways to deal with the problem with him.

It was not until the second half of the night that she fell into a drowsy sleep because she was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes.

Murong Che did not sleep all night and left Shuiyuexuan at dawn.

Before leaving, Murong Che reminded Banxia not to disturb Xue Youli's rest.

At this moment, Xue Youli raised her hand to stop Banxia from pinning her hair, and casually picked up a jade hairpin to tie her hair up, "That's all, come on, follow me out to take a look!"

At times like this, the harem must be stable to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to create chaos.

Murong Ye was not a reckless person. He dared to set the day of rebellion today, so he must have made preparations for a desperate fight.

And in the harem, there was only one place where he could do something, and that was Cining Palace.

Queen Mother Yin is Murong Che's biological mother. If Murong Ye threatens to force Murong Che to give up his throne by threatening Queen Mother Yin's life, Murong Che will not be able to do anything freely.

And as far as she knew, Murong Ye's last trump card was in Cining Palace!

Xue Youli walked out of the bedroom, glanced at the people gathered in the courtyard, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Pingzi, Xiao Anzi, pass on my order. All the palace servants in Lingyun Palace should go back and do their respective duties. If anyone takes advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, they will be immediately sent to the prison and punished for treason!"

"yes!"

When the maids and eunuchs who had come from Jinghua Pavilion to inquire about the news heard this, they hurried away.

In the crowd, Lu Luo glanced at Xue Youli, her eyes flashing, before she followed the others and left.

She came here to gather information for Xue Qingyao, but the Shuiyuexuan guys were as tight-lipped as if they had locked their mouths, each one more strict than the other.

She learned nothing except what everyone knew.

Xue Youli naturally noticed Lu Luo, but there was no need for her to take action against this kind of idiot, as someone would naturally take care of her.

"Xiao Zhongzi, come with me to the Ci Ning Temple!"

…

Outside the palace gate.

Although Murong Ye had a wound in his abdomen, he still rode on a tall horse when the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

At this critical moment, momentum is more important than anything else.

Since he had seized the initiative to win, he naturally had to attack in one go and go straight to the Xuan Zheng Hall!

At this moment, he was wearing a battle robe, holding the reins tightly with his left hand, and pointing the long sword in his right hand straight to the sky. "My fellow soldiers, Murong Che not only killed the Princess of Nanzhao and attempted to provoke a war between the two countries, but also plotted against me. In addition, I also found out that the eldest and third princes also died at his hands. He killed his brother and was cruel. He is unworthy of his position! Everyone has the right to kill him! I will obey the will of heaven and kill the tyrant today!"

The people who followed him to attack the imperial city also raised their swords and guns, and shouted in agreement, "He is unworthy of his position! Kill the tyrant! Kill the tyrant!"

"Brothers, let's break down the palace gate! Charge in! His Highness said that whoever can take the tyrant's head will be rewarded with a huge sum of gold! Charge!"

"Go!"

Seeing the soldiers' high morale, Murong Ye pulled up a sinister sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Murong Che, your death has come!

This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!
