Chapter 165: They are all pawns!



According to An Ruxue, it was the prince who created an opportunity for her to get to know him. An Ruxue originally thought he was a knight and they became friends.

Later I found out that he was actually the prince.

Afterwards, the prince pursued An Ruxue in various ways, but An Ruxue always kept a restrained distance from him.

After all, she is from the sect and doesn't want to be too involved with the court.

Afterwards, the prince promised that as long as An Ruxue became his, he would make her the Holy Maiden of the Snow Sword Sect!

There are many true disciples in the Snow Sword Sect, but there can only be one Saint!

The status of the Saint is even above that of ordinary elders, and is second only to a few chief elders!

According to the prince, he has a secret connection in the Snow Sword Sect.

This condition is naturally very tempting.

However, An Ruxue directly refused. She knew clearly that the prince did not like her at all and pursued her only to control her, and then to infiltrate the Snow Sword Sect through her, and even control the entire Snow Sword Sect in the future!

After being rejected many times, the prince became angry and humiliated, and he turned against An Ruxue and tried to forcibly take over her body.

An Ruxue naturally swore to die rather than obey, but she was no match for the prince and was seriously injured.

But fortunately, An Ruxue had the amulet left by her master, and she used it to escape.

The prince naturally chased her out and wanted to severely abuse An Ruxue's body before killing her, so that she would know the consequences of disobeying him.

Just when he was being chased, the chief eunuch of the imperial court came to see the prince with an imperial edict.

The chief steward was a peerless master at the peak of the martial arts realm. As soon as he entered the prince's mansion, he discovered something unusual and captured An Ruxue, who was trying to escape. Even though she had her master's amulet in her hand, it was useless.

The prince chased out and was shocked to find that An Ruxue had fallen into the hands of the chief steward.

His plan to use An Ruxue to infiltrate the Snow Sword Sect must be carried out in secret and must not be known to the court, especially the empress.

Otherwise, the empress will suspect whether he has the intention of usurping the throne!

By then, it would not be impossible to depose him as the crown prince!

Therefore, the prince turned the tables and said that An Ruxue was here to assassinate him, and he was glad that the chief steward came, and then he was about to kill An Ruxue.

However, the chief steward stopped him, saying that it would not be too late to kill him after the matter was thoroughly investigated, after all, An Ruxue was a member of the Snow Sword Sect.

If it was an ordinary person, they would just kill him and throw the body into a random mass grave. That would be the end of the matter.

But people from the Snow Sword Sect cannot be killed at will.

In order to avoid being discovered, the prince had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, the prince asked the chief steward to depose An Ruxue to prevent her from escaping.

The chief steward did indeed do so, destroying An Ruxue's cultivation, but he did not expect that the Snow Sword Sect's skills had the ability to recover, and as long as she was given time, she would be able to slowly recover her cultivation.

Afterwards, An Ruxue was thrown into jail.

Under the manipulation of the prince, An Ruxue was directly sentenced to death and was scheduled to be executed in the autumn.

Later, I don’t know what happened to the Chen family, but they brought An Ruxue here.

Also brought here was Princess Li Xiuning of the Tang Dynasty.

Because an elder direct descendant of the Chen family, the younger brother of the head of the family, is now the Minister of Justice of the imperial court.

At the same time, he is also Chen Tian’s biological grandfather!

So Li Xiuning and An Ruxue finally fell into the hands of the Chen family.

These two people are hot potatoes. If they die, whether it is the Snow Sword Sect or the Tang Kingdom, if they can't do anything to the imperial court, they may take it out on the Chen family.

But in any case, there is always someone to take the blame, right?

Therefore, the death sentences of these two people were planned to be carried out by the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Chen family made a bold move and asked Chen Xuan to choose these death row prisoners as his wives and concubines.

After the selection, they will be sent directly to the border. The Chen family will not care whether they are dead or alive. By then, no matter whether An Ruxue or Li Xiuning died on the road, the truth will be revealed. When the Tang Kingdom and the Snow Sword Sect find out and start questioning, the court will put the blame on the Chen family, and the Chen family will put the blame on Chen Xuan.

As for Chen Xuan, he is already dead, so he should just be the scapegoat.

This is the struggle among the top leaders, and things are far more complicated than they appear.

If it weren't for these reasons, how could Chen Xuan, a useless man who couldn't practice and was a criminal, possibly make Li Xiuning and An Ruxue become his women?

Besides, as one of the three top families in Dagan, how could the Chen Mansion not find out the truth about Chen Xuan being wrongly accused of stealing?

They deliberately didn't give Chen Xuan a chance to clear his name, in other words, they just wanted him to be the scapegoat.

After all, in the entire huge Chen family, only Chen Xuan has no background.

Although his bloodline is the purest, his parents have died many years ago and no one will support him, making him the best scapegoat.

Of course, An Ruxue knew limited information. She only knew that after she was caught by the chief steward, she was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Justice, and then she ended up in the Chen family. Chen Xuan only learned about these later events after he returned to the capital.

To put it bluntly, Chen Xuan, An Ruxue, Li Xiuning and others are now just pawns of these people sitting on the clouds!

In fact, that day, although the head of the Chen family ostensibly gave Chen Xuan the opportunity to choose a wife and two concubines.

In fact, Chen Xuan had no choice.

No matter who he chooses, the Chen family will give him all the women.

Because they believe that these women will die if they follow Chen Xuan!

Instead of wasting time on the execution, it would be better to let Chen Xuan take them to die.

The Chen family doesn’t care if he dies.

If I'm not dead...

Then, the Chen family would have to start considering whether Chen Xuan’s father, the youngest talented general in the history of the Chen family, had left him any good things!

After all, the death of Chen Xuan’s father was related to the late emperor!

The cause of the two people's death involved too many things!

"This prince is worse than pigs and dogs!"

After hearing An Ruxue's words, everyone present was immediately indignant!

"In that case, the prince should now know that you are still alive and have arrived at the Barbarian City safely."

"It seems that there is one more person in the capital who is hoping for our death."

Chen Xuan stroked his chin and thought.

An Ruxue nodded: "I was planning to leave in a few days, and I didn't want to implicate you, but then I thought, the prince is ruthless, even if I leave, he may not let you go, he is worried that I will tell you this secret, even if I don't tell you, he will kill you all!"

"Ah, then aren't we in too much danger now?"

Xu Ruolan's eyes widened.

Chen Xuan sneered and said, "If he dares to send people to kill us, I will make sure his people never come back!"

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away.

Capital city.

Tonight, the sky is covered with dark clouds and the wind is blowing hard, blowing sand and rocks everywhere!
