Chapter 148: It turns out that he wanted to replace the corpse



Zhao Wanqiu also had the same concerns as Song Qingxue.

But her concerns were different from Song Qingxue's.

Song Qingxue was afraid that there was someone in the tomb, but she was extremely afraid that there was no one in the tomb.

She sat in the carriage, feeling extremely anxious.

"How did Xiahou Chongyuan find out that Mo Weixin was not dead? Didn't you say that we did it very carefully and no one would know?"

Zhao Wanqiu looked at Xiahou Chun anxiously, and when she saw that he didn't say a word, she immediately reached out to shake him.

"Speak up! What's going on? What should we do now?"

Xiahou Jun was also very upset, and now he was even more annoyed when he heard her muttering. He shook her hand away, glared at her fiercely, and said unhappily:

"You ask me? Who should I ask? It's because you insisted on making a scene in the palace today! I feel ashamed for you!"

"You're just blaming me?"

Zhao Wanqiu stared with eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on her face.

"If it weren't for you staring at that vixen Song Qingxue, would I be like this?"

"Why are others like vixens? Only you are suspicious every day." Xiahou Chun said impatiently, "Zhao Wanqiu, don't you know why I like you? Why have you become so unreasonable!"

"I'm unreasonable? You changed your mind and you blame me for being unreasonable?"

Zhao Wanqiu was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Xiahou Chun in the face.

Xiahou Chun was obviously not a person who would tolerate being bullied. After Zhao Wanqiu slapped him, he slapped her back twice without hesitation.

Two loud "pa pa" sounds made Zhao Wanqiu's mind go blank.

"You hit me? How dare you hit me?" Zhao Wanqiu's eyes were filled with tears and her eyes were wide open.

Xiahou Chun narrowed his eyes and stared at her, his face full of displeasure.

"It's really because I've been too indulgent to you. You can't even tell east from west, south from north. Go back and learn some etiquette."

"I think it's you who can't tell the difference between east, west, south and north! Xiahou Chun, don't forget, who is responsible for your current situation!" Zhao Wanqiu said hatefully.

Xiahou Jun ignored her. Even though they had a quarrel, he still had a lot to use from her, so he would not say anything absolute.

Zhao Wanqiu was a person who was particularly good at making excuses for her lover, so after Xiahou Chun remained silent, she spontaneously started to scold Song Qingxue.

"I know you have been bewitched by that vixen. Don't worry, when we gain power in the future, I will kill her. If you like her, I will peel off her skin and make a scroll, and then draw my portrait on it."

She adjusted her mood, smiled slightly, approached Xiahou Chun, and gently hugged his arm.

"Do you think it's good, Your Majesty?"

"madman."

Xiahou Chun was too lazy to pay attention to her.

He always knew what kind of person she was, but it was precisely because he knew it that he chose her.

He needed a knife like this that looked weak on the surface but was actually very sharp.

Zhao Wanqiu, just right.

"Humph, even if you think it's not good, it doesn't matter, because Song Qingxue must die."

After that, she turned the topic back to the princess's tomb.

"Tell me, now that Xiahou Chongyuan is going to check Mo Weixin's tomb, what should we do?"

Now that Mo Weixin was being held by the Imperial Guards, they couldn't openly snatch her away and send her back to the tomb. But by then, everyone would see with their own eyes that there was no one in the princess' tomb, and then everything she had done during this period would be in vain!

"Have you ever heard of disguise?"

"What?"

Xiahou Chun chuckled and reached out to pat her face.

"Wanwan, you are still too naive."

Who is Xiahou Chun?

Since he had been able to hide for so many years in a place like the palace where people were cruelly treated without being discovered, he certainly would not be the type of person who would immediately back down to anyone he formed an alliance with.

Even though he and Zhao Wanqiu were already married, Zhao Wanqiu's understanding of him was only the tip of the iceberg.

But Zhao Wanqiu was so naive that she thought everything he had now was a gift from her, the Shangshu Mansion.

It's really ridiculous.

However, although he was so confident, he actually fell flat on his face in front of the princess' tomb.

There is indeed a person in the princess's tomb who looks exactly like Mo Weixin, and even has a similar height.

But the man was not in the coffin. Instead, he was kneeling outside the coffin, being escorted by a man in black.

Xia Houle walked closer and asked, "What's going on?"

Mo Weixin was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth when she looked at the person who looked exactly like her.

The man in black heard this and looked at Xiahou Chongyuan. Seeing him nod, he said, "It's a disguise technique."

After saying that, he touched the man's ear and tore off a thin layer of skin from his face.

A strange face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Xia Houle lowered his head and looked at the person's face carefully, then asked, "Who is she?"

"In the martial arts world, she is known as the Thousand-Faced Lady."

"If you are a Jianghu person, why did you appear in the county lady's tomb?"

Although he asked this, he knew it clearly in his heart.

The man in black was honest and answered every question.

"When I came down, I saw her lying in the coffin."

Xia Houle cast an admiring look at the man in black, and then followed up with his words and said, "Oh, it's obvious that he wants to play a corpse substitute."

As he spoke, Xiahou Le turned around and looked at Marquis Anding.

"Marquis Anding, do you still want to quibble?"

The facts were before him, and even if Marquis Anding wanted to argue, he could not do so. He had to bend his knees and kneel in front of Xiahou Le.

"Your Majesty! I really don't know why this happened! I really thought Wei Xin was dead!"

What he said is true.

No one had ever informed him about Mo Weixin's fake death. When he saw that Mo Weixin was still alive today, he was truly shocked for a moment.

Xiahou Le actually knew this very well, but he and Xiahou Chongyuan allowed this matter to ferment today just for this opportunity.

This is an opportunity to completely eliminate the power of Marquis Anding.

Marquis Anding has been rooted in Shangjing City for too long, so long that he is about to shake the imperial power.

When the late emperor was still alive, he was always worried about the power of Marquis Anding, but he had never found a chance to eliminate it.

This matter had always been a concern for the late emperor. Before he died, he would call Xiahou Le and Xiahou Chongyuan to his bedside and repeatedly remind them of this.

Later, Xiahou Chongyuan came to power in Dongyue, and Marquis Anding's arrogance was suppressed by him. He became much more obedient, both openly and secretly. Xiahou Le no longer cared about it.

It was not until Mo Weixin faked his death that he heard from spies that Marquis Anding and Xiahou Chun had been getting very close in private recently.

Although Xiahou Chun looked cowardly and seemed not to be feared, as an emperor, he could not trust appearances too much.

This was the idea that Xiahou Chongyuan had begun to instill in him a long time ago.

Moreover, in the past few years, Xiahou Chun has done so many things behind his back. On the one hand, he has his own spies, and on the other hand, he has Xiahou Chongyuan's advice. Naturally, it is impossible for him to be completely unaware of what kind of heart Xiahou Chun has hidden beneath his honest appearance.

Now that Xiahou Jun has not yet shown his true strength, he can't do anything to Xiahou Chun, so he can only use this method to weaken his power.

Since Xiahou Jun intended to form an alliance with Marquis Anding, he could only take this opportunity to deal with Marquis Anding first.

In any case, the power of Marquis Anding will be eliminated sooner or later.

I really have to thank Xiahou Chun and Mo Weixin, my filial daughter, for being able to find this opportunity so quickly.

Xiahou Le put his hands behind his back and spoke in a dignified voice: "I believe that Marquis Anding must know that deceiving the emperor is a capital crime, but considering that your Mo family has followed the late emperor in battle for decades, although you have no merits, you have worked hard, so I will give you a lighter sentence."
