Chapter 273 I'm Here to Take Your Life
Before the jailers arrived, Xiangying quickly gave Xiang Yuande two injections of serum.
Although she didn't care about Lao Deng's life or death, if he died in the cell and died next to her, there was no guarantee that the South Vietnamese would not throw dirty water on her.
Xiangying's guess was correct, because the jailers were not at all panicked after hearing her shouting.
Instead, they walked over slowly and took a look at Xiang Yuande who was lying on the ground. They actually said, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel that you dared to kill your father. This is your biological father."
Xiangying scolded: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. He and I are both prisoners now. How can I poison him?"
"Who knows?" The jailer looked at her with contempt. "You Western Zhou people are extremely licentious and have no humanity. If you want to harm someone, you must have plenty of ways to do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangying rushed over, grabbed his collar through the cell bars, and then pulled hard, causing the jailer to hit the railing.
His nose suddenly bled in pain, and before he could even utter a curse, Xiangying pulled him hard twice, making him dizzy.
As soon as Xiangying let go of him, he fell limply to the ground.
She sneered: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will knock out your teeth next time!"
The rest of the jailers were frightened by her strength and brutality.
Other princesses are either good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting or gentle and docile. Why is it that this princess of a fallen country, in such a difficult situation, dares to be so arrogant?
They crowded over and helped the jailer up, and everyone pointed at Xiangying.
"Just wait, we will report you for killing King Ai right now, and you will not have a good ending!"
However, just as they finished their words, Xiang Yuande, who was already like a corpse, suddenly vomited and spit out a lot of white foam.
Several jailers looked at each other and stared at him with wide eyes.
After Xiang Yuande vomited out a lot of things, he gasped for breath and said with his dying breath: "Find... find the imperial physician..."
Seeing that the jailer didn't move, Xiangying sneered: "Didn't you hear? He's still alive and wants to find a doctor. You won't refuse to find one for him, right? Or did the Emperor of Nanyue lock him up just to secretly poison him to death?"
The emperor cared most about his reputation. He first accepted Xiang Yuande's flattery and accepted a large amount of treasures and soldiers from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It would not be good if word spread that he deliberately poisoned Xiang Yuande.
Several jailers hurried to call for the imperial physician. After a while, Xiangying saw the senior palace maid who had served her before coming with some people.
Still with a stern look on his face, he walked into the cell and took a look at Xiang Yuande's condition.
He had already taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and his breathing had calmed down and he had fallen asleep.
The head maid walked to Sang-yeong's cell and saw Sang-yeong leaning against the wall, weaving a bow with straw.
"How dare you attack your own father?"
Xiangying glanced at her and said, "Even you are so stupid? I don't understand how you became the emperor's confidant."
The senior palace maid paused for a moment and her eyes turned gloomy.
Then she turned her head and looked at the four jailers present, and suddenly said, "The emperor has ordered that they should be executed for daring to poison King Ai. Go ahead!"
At her command, the guards she brought stepped forward decisively and cut the neck of the jailer who was still kowtowing.
Blood spurted out, but Xiangying didn't even blink.
The head maid turned around and stared at Xiangying: "You'd better behave yourself, otherwise, the fate of you and your daughter will not be good either."
After that, she led her people away.
Xiangying found the right opportunity and followed her with a drone.
This is a great time to obtain intelligence.
Sure enough, the senior palace maid turned left and right and returned to the emperor's bedroom.
Ling Su was drinking medicine being served by two palace maids, and the eldest palace maid was kneeling in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the jailers have dealt with them all. Our people also found this on them."
The senior palace maid handed over a piece of silver with both hands.
Ling Su took it and looked at it, narrowing his eyes: "This is the money that was originally given to the Ministry of War."
The six ministries of Nanyue would pay expenses to the Ministry of Revenue every year. In order to distinguish where the money of each ministries was used, the Ministry of Revenue would mark the silver of the six ministries before giving it to them.
So Ling Su knew it at a glance.
He seemed to be thinking: "The Ministry of War is now in the hands of the Fourth Brother. Do you think that the Fourth Brother is the one who wants to poison King Ai?"
The senior maid bowed her head and said, "I am so frightened that I dare not speculate."
Ling Su sneered and threw the silver on the ground: "Deal with it cleanly, don't let the news that is unfavorable to the fourth brother leak out."
"yes."
Xiangying heard everything through the screen.
She couldn't help but frown.
For some reason, she seemed to have guessed Ling Su's thoughts inadvertently.
He is now planning and using Jie Chen as a gun, which shows that he has no fatherly love for Jie Chen at all.
The eldest prince seemed to be deeply trusted by him, and after the last landmine incident, he took away all his power and gave it to others under the pretext of letting the eldest prince recuperate.
Needless to say, even though he is given high hopes and important tasks, he does not have a strong maternal family to help him.
Xiangying suddenly recalled that the Fourth Prince was the only person who did not show up at the banquet that day!
Could it be that Ling Su had known that something would go wrong at the banquet, so he protected his most precious son in a safe area?
Xiangying recalled the fourth prince's residence, and she flew the drone directly there.
Fortunately, the princes still lived in the princes' palace complex. Based on the previous markings, she easily found the residence of the fourth prince.
Through the drone, we saw that the Fourth Prince was in the house, discussing with his three advisers how to take advantage of the Emperor's injury to completely control the government and make sure that the First Prince would not have the chance to return to the court after he recovered from his illness.
Xiangying took a closer look. The Fourth Prince didn't look outstanding, but he had the dignity of a royal family.
His palace is also the best among the surrounding palaces, worthy of being the legitimate son of the queen.
It seems that Ling Su wants to leave the position of crown prince to him, but the other princes and the court are all eyeing it, so Ling Su wants to let these forces fight each other first, and then leave the opportunity directly to the fourth prince.
Xiangying sighed, staring at the screen with sparkling eyes.
"How can I let you get your wish..." She used the drone to get closer to the Fourth Prince's teacup.
Then, while they were not paying attention, he threw in colorless and odorless powder.
It just so happened that the new biological poison in her medical room was originally used to deal with zombies. It was not lethal, but would gradually make the zombies lose their ability to move.
Let’s start with Ling Su’s favorite son.
At the same time, a secluded teahouse in the city was booked out today.
Prince Yong pushed open the door and walked into the dark room.
He looked around; it was dark and there were no lights.
And Jie Chen's figure was sitting right above him, wiping the sword in his hand.
When Prince Yong saw him, he frowned slightly and said, "Lan'er, what are you looking for Uncle Wang for?"
Jie Chen stood up holding the sword. His eyes were dark, but there were starlight shining in them, like will-o'-the-wisp.
"Someone has made a request for your life. I am here for this very purpose."
