Chapter 125 Assassination
After listening to this, Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Miss, I will tell the Prime Minister the truth."
Concubine Chen grabbed Li Wei's arm tightly and said, "Take me away. I don't want to stay here."
It's really scary here.
She hadn't eaten for several days, and when she was extremely hungry, she even picked up fallen leaves outside and ate them.
The harem is not a place for people to stay!
Li Wei was embarrassed. "Miss, the Prime Minister said that the Emperor is keeping a close eye on the Chen family. If you interfere in the affairs of the harem, it will be easy for them to find fault with you."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Chen was shocked.
"The Prime Minister told the young lady to take good care of herself and wait patiently for a while. The Prime Minister will definitely find a chance to rescue her."
Concubine Chen seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground.
Two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. She was abandoned.
Close your eyes, filled with despair.
Li Wei stood up and said, "Miss, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Wait." Concubine Chen said, "Let my father do one last thing for me."
"Please speak, Miss."
"Kill Liu Zhiyuan."
If it weren't for Liu Zhiyuan, she wouldn't have fallen to this point. Liu Zhiyuan must die!
"Okay, Miss. I will pass it on."
Prime Minister's Mansion.
After listening to Li Wei's retelling, Prime Minister Chen picked up a cup of tea, gently used the lid to cut across the rim of the cup, and his eyes gradually darkened.
"It was just for a woman."
He placed the Empress Dowager under house arrest and banished the Imperial Concubine to the cold palace, all for a woman.
Liu Zhiyuan and Xiao Yu are indeed special.
Li Wei hesitated and said, "Prime Minister, I feel that Liu Zhiyuan might just be a shield put forward by the Emperor. His rage for Liu Zhiyuan might just be a cover-up for the fact that he attacked the Chen family."
The current emperor has always been autocratic and does not seem like a person who would be blinded by lust.
It seems so inappropriate for the emperor to do such a thing as risking his life for a beautiful woman.
Prime Minister Chen put down his teacup and spoke slowly, "Whether Liu Zhiyuan is a target pushed by the emperor or not, we can no longer sit and wait for death."
The emperor has been obsessed with Liu Zhongyuan's case. If he continues to investigate and finds out something, the Chen family will be finished.
But now, it is impossible to stop the thorough investigation of the Liu family case, and going too far will arouse suspicion.
Then only...
A murderous look flashed across Prime Minister Chen's eyes.
Three days later, the sky was clear and cloudless.
Days like these are perfect for hunting.
Xiao Yu had someone prepare a carriage for Yan Ruyu, but not for Liu Zhiyuan, so she naturally had to ride in the same carriage with him.
But Liu Zhiyuan, who was dressed lightly, sighed and said, "There are so many people, it's so grand," then turned around and followed Yan Ruyu into the carriage.
Xiao Yu, "..."
He pulled her back with a cold face.
Liu Zhiyuan frowned, "What are you doing?"
"My beloved, you will ride with me."
"I want to sit with Xiaoyu."
"No." Xiao Yu's face darkened.
Liu Zhiyuan was unhappy. "Didn't you say that this is your carriage? If I want to ride, I can buy one myself. If I don't have money, I can walk."
Xiao Yu's face darkened.
It was indeed what he said. He was on the way to Yuzhou. He was just saying it in anger. He didn't expect Liu Zhiyuan to hold such a grudge and still remember it until now.
Please tell me, how can I deny what I said? Is it okay to hit my head with a hammer and lose my memory?
"I never said that."
"Do I need to remind you? I got a heat stroke on the way to Yuzhou."
"Really? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
Liu Zhiyuan choked. This is cheating, right? How can you, the emperor, pretend to be dead?
"Eunuch Liu can testify."
She had a heat stroke at that time, and Xiao Yu was too embarrassed to apologize, so it was Eunuch Liu who came to deliver the message.
Liu Dehai, who was suddenly called out, "..."
I looked up at the sky and heard nothing.
Another one pretending to be dead.
"Eunuch Liu, tell me, did the Emperor not allow me to get on the carriage when we went to Yuzhou?"
Liu Dehai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is this true? I don't remember it."
He stroked his forehead and said, "Oh, I don't know what's wrong with my brain. I always can't remember things. Oh, I need to let the imperial physician take a look."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Keep pretending.
hateful!
As expected, like master, like servant!
Xiao Yu remained calm, "My beloved, please get in the carriage. Don't miss the time."
Liu Zhiyuan snorted angrily, turned around and walked towards Yan Ruyu's carriage.
Xiao Yu's voice came from behind, "My beloved concubine, if you go to the imperial concubine's carriage, you won't be able to go to the hunting today."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Dog Emperor, I was right to call you a dog!
She glared at Xiao Yu fiercely and walked back angrily.
Liu Dehai quickly brought a tiptoe stool over and asked her to stand on it.
The carriage was a bit high, and Liu Zhiyuan accidentally stepped on empty air and almost fell down.
Just when she was about to shift into reverse gear, someone firmly held her body.
"careful."
Liu Zhiyuan was still frightened, “Thank you…” Thank you.
When he saw that the person who supported him was Xiao Yu, he swallowed the word "thank you" at the end.
"No thanks!" She snorted coldly and climbed into the carriage.
Xiao Yu curled his lips slightly and followed her.
This time we went to the hunting ground closest to the palace and arrived there that same day.
However, it was getting late, so they did not go hunting immediately today. Instead, they set up camp and rested for a day, and started again the next day.
After breakfast the next day, all the accompanying ministers and their families gathered outside the enclosure.
Liu Zhiyuan and Yan Ruyu had already changed into riding clothes and were standing behind Xiao Yu.
Wang Zheng was explaining the rules of today's hunt, which usually involves competitions and prizes.
Yan Ruyu was not interested in the prize and pulled Liu Zhiyuan to choose a horse.
She picked a black one, and Liu Zhiyuan picked a white one.
"Yuan'er, you go up first." She wanted to see first whether Liu Zhiyuan could really ride a horse, otherwise she would not feel at ease.
"Okay." Liu Zhiyuan stepped on the pedal, turned over and jumped up, looking heroic and neat.
Yan Ruyu raised an eyebrow, "Not bad."
Looks like there's no need to worry about her.
She also climbed up and grabbed the reins. "How about we have a competition to see who can catch more prey?"
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Well, she's good at riding a horse, but she can't shoot an arrow.
Private hunting grounds in Europe use guns.
"That's fine."
It’s just an ordinary competition anyway, it doesn’t matter if you lose.
"I will definitely beat you, hahaha." Yan Ruyu squeezed the horse's belly and rushed into the woods.
Zhou Kanggang came over on horseback and saw her rushing out, so he immediately spurred his horse to chase her.
Liu Zhiyuan also rode her horse into the woods. She didn't have as good riding skills as Yan Ruyu, so she didn't dare to ride too fast and walked slowly into the woods.
After walking a distance, I suddenly heard the sound of something flying past my head. I looked up suddenly, but saw nothing.
The next second, a man fell off the horse behind him.
Liu Zhiyuan was startled and turned her head to see Xiao Yu sitting behind her. He reached out and took the bow and arrow from her back.
"you……"
Before Liu Zhiyuan could say anything, a big hand appeared at her waist and hugged her tightly.
"My beloved, do you want to win over Yan Ruyu?"
"No, get off now."
Xiao Yu seemed not to hear her words. He hugged her with one hand and tightened the reins with the other. "Don't worry, I will help you win. Go!"
The wild horse rushed out at lightning speed. Liu Zhiyuan leaned back due to inertia, but was tightly protected by Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu rode his horse very fast, and the two of them soon went deep into the woods.
A tiger appeared in front of him. Xiao Yu stopped and drew his bow and arrow.
Liu Zhiyuan held her breath. It was the first time she had seen such a big tiger.
And it was wild, with sharp eyes fixed on them, as if it would pounce on them at any time.
Just as the tiger was ready to attack, Xiao Yu shot an arrow. The powerful force directly lifted the tiger up and nailed it to the big tree in front.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. Is it so powerful?
"My beloved, wait. I will go and catch the tiger."
Xiao Yu jumped off the horse and walked towards the tiger.
Just after taking a few steps, he heard the sound of breaking wind in the air. His ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head sharply, seeing an arrow shooting towards Liu Zhiyuan's back...
