Chapter 26 The Princess Is Too Arrogant 13
Lian'er suddenly looked up at Qiu Chi, only to see that Qiu Chi was smiling. She curled her lips and said, "The princess really knows how to joke..."
Although Qiu Chi was laughing, what he said was like thunder to Lian'er: "I'm not kidding you, just tell me whether you are willing to do it or not."
Lian'er's face gradually turned pale, and now she couldn't even force a smile: "Lian'er, just pretend that the princess never said anything today. Princess, please go back."
Seeing this, Qiu Chi also restrained his smile: "So you are unwilling?"
"Princess, why do you have to force me?"
The emperor's favor and great glory are right before her eyes. How could Lian'er be willing to give it all up?
Even though Qiu Chi was the source of all this for her, it didn't mean that she could give it all up.
Qiu Chi glanced at Lian'er and left, as if he didn't force her to kill the emperor.
Lian'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But she forgot the means by which Qiu Chi gained her favor.
After Qiu Chi returned, Yun Jing asked, "How was it?"
"Just in these two days, you should have people prepare it."
Yun Jing was a little surprised: "She really agreed?"
"Of course not, but does it matter whether she agrees or not?"
It doesn't matter whether Lian'er agrees or not. It would be difficult to take action during the day because there are too many people around, and the emperor can't stay with Cui Mingyu all the time. On the second night after arriving here, the emperor stayed with Lian'er.
Lian'er was a little nervous because Qiu Chi had come.
But she thought about the heavy guards around the emperor, and even if Qiu Chi really wanted to do something to him, it would be unlikely for him to succeed.
The most she could do was not to tell anyone about this matter, but asking her to do anything else was definitely impossible.
After figuring things out, Lian'er began to serve the emperor with peace of mind.
But in the middle of the night, Lian'er, who should have been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes. Although she was still conscious, she could not control her actions.
For some reason, a silver hairpin suddenly appeared at the head of her bed. She took the hairpin and stabbed it directly into the emperor's neck.
The emperor was sleeping soundly at this time and was completely defenseless.
The hairpin pierced into the carotid artery in her neck, and blood spurted all over Lian'er's face.
The emperor woke up because of the pain, staring at Lian'er in disbelief.
Lian'er looked at her hands covered in blood in disbelief. She shook her head in panic and explained, "No, it's not like that. It's not me..."
But this explanation is really not convincing at this moment.
The emperor covered his still bleeding neck and shouted, "Come, come quickly!"
The door was pushed open and someone did come in.
But the person who came in was not the one the emperor wanted to see, because it was Yun Jing who came in, and Qiu Chi was also there.
When Lian'er saw Qiu Chi, she pointed at him and said, "It's her, it's her, she's the one who wants to harm the emperor, not me, it's her..."
Qiu Chi stood beside Yun Jing and said, "What Lian Zhaoyi said is really puzzling. I've been with the prince the whole time and I just came in. How could it be that I want to harm others?"
"Your hands are covered in blood, yet you still have the nerve to slander me?"
"No, it's you..."
No matter how Lian'er wanted to push the blame onto Qiuchi, the emperor at this moment simply didn't have the patience to care, because when he saw Yunjing, his eyes were already bloodshot, and he roughly understood what was going on in his heart, but what he didn't understand was why Lian'er would attack him?
But at this moment, he had no time to think about it anymore.
He glared at Yun Jing fiercely with his eyes and died before he could say anything. However, his eyes were still fixed on Yun Jing, and he died with his eyes wide open.
After the emperor's death, Yun Jing finally turned his attention to Lian'er. Lian'er was desperate at this point and had tried every possible means. She threw herself off the bed and knelt before Yun Jing, accusing Qiu Chi: "Your Highness, it was her, she was the one who wanted to harm the emperor..."
Yun Jing lowered his eyes, tore off the corner of his clothes that Lian'er was holding, and said in a cold voice: "Lian Zhaoyi murdered the emperor, her crime is unforgivable, drag her out and beat her to death in a chaotic fight."
The emperor's death happened so quickly that no one had time to react.
That night, Yun Jing took the emperor's body back to the palace and summoned a large number of officials to discuss the matter.
By the time the sun rose the next day, the matter was settled.
It was a foregone conclusion that Yun Jing would become the emperor.
Although those who followed Yun Jing did not understand why things had turned out like this, they knew that it was beneficial to them, so they naturally did not say anything more.
The emperor's followers were very confused. They didn't understand how the emperor died overnight and the country changed hands?
But Yun Jing would not give them time to react. Compared with the emperor, Yun Jing's methods were swift and decisive. He killed those who should be killed and demoted those who should be demoted.
Only the prime minister's family was not affected.
The Prime Minister and Cui Mingyu naturally did not think that this was because of Qiu Chi. They were self-indulgent and believed that Yun Jing still had some feelings for Cui Mingyue.
So Cui Mingyu couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
She also understood the words that Yun Jing originally said to her in a different way.
It turned out that he didn't want to break up with her, and he forgot the past only because they still had a future.
Cui Mingyu is now overjoyed. Lian'er died in Qingliang Palace, and she has finally vented her resentment towards Lian'er.
She didn't take Qiu Chi seriously, and as for Xin'er, she was probably just a tool to annoy Qiu Chi.
Thinking of this, Cui Mingyu couldn't wait to go to the palace to see Yun Jing.
But at this time, she and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion were locked up in the Prime Minister's Mansion and were not allowed to take a step out.
Although Cui Mingyu firmly believed that Yun Jing could not forget her and would come to find her, she still wanted to meet Yun Jing in person and tell him that she still loved him and they could finally be together.
Cui Mingyu went to the guard at the gate and said, "I want to see King Jing. Could you please let me know?"
The emperor died at the hands of Lian'er, and Yun Jing has now succeeded to the throne normally and has not been accused of treason.
Cui Mingyu was the former emperor's concubine. Although the prime minister was under house arrest, he was not demoted or killed. In addition, Qiu Chi was the prime minister's daughter, so the guards did not dare to be too negligent. After all, they were not sure of Yun Jing's thoughts.
He agreed to inform Cui Mingyu, and Cui Mingyu was secretly delighted.
In contrast, Yun Jing heard the guard say that Cui Mingyu wanted to see him, and his first reaction was to refuse.
He may really have no thoughts about Cui Mingyu now, and he doesn't even feel conflicted or hesitant.
However, Qiu Chi was there when the guard reported this. Before Yun Jing could refuse, Qiu Chi agreed on his behalf: "Since she wants to see you, bring her to the palace."
The guard looked at Yun Jing. Yun Jing nodded and motioned for the guard to leave. Then he looked at Qiu Chi and asked, "Why do you want to see her? The coronation ceremony will be in five days. Why don't you want me to make you queen?"
After handling the matter swiftly and decisively, Yun Jing told Qiu Chi that he wanted to make her the queen, but Qiu Chi flatly refused.
Now, when I ask Qiu Chi again, he still says the same thing: "I've already said I'm here to take revenge on you, how could I possibly stay here for long?"
