Chapter 444 The King is also held hostage

"Madam Xu, why did the other party say that you are the owner of Qiansha Tower? And this person suddenly appeared beside the emperor before. The reason why the emperor trusts him so much is it because of you?"

Countless questioning voices swept in.

Madam Xu, who was standing in the crowd, had fallen into passivity just because of An Yunze's few words.

An Yunxi saw this scene in front of her, and a look of watching a good show flashed in her eyes.

He is worthy of being her third brother. What a trick to sow discord and let this group of people start to fight each other.

An Yunze said this in public, naturally he didn't think that everyone believed his words, but as long as he aroused the slightest suspicion from others, he would have succeeded.

Even the Southern Qi Emperor, who was being held hostage at this time, was already shaken in his heart. Looking at Madam Xu who suddenly ran in with people and said she wanted to rescue him, his eyes became deep. Could it be

that

An Yunze was right in one sentence, that he trusted An Yunze so much because of Madam Xu, but An Yunze still betrayed him.

If he said that this matter had nothing to do with Madam Xu, he would not believe it at all. Now that Madam Xu had let people rush up regardless of his life or death, the Southern Qi Emperor had deepened this suspicion.

Madam Xu had already become the target of public criticism.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her anger was even stronger: "The assassin said this in public in order to sow discord and make you doubt me. If you really believed his words, you would have fallen into the assassin's trap!"

Prime Minister Lin suddenly spoke from among the officials.

As the head of the officials, his words carried more weight.

"Please explain to us, Concubine Qing, why did the assassin call you the Master of Thousand Killings Tower?"

Madam Xu narrowed her eyes. "Prime Minister Lin, the assassin just wanted to smear me!"

Prime Minister Lin asked again, "But the assassin was planted by Concubine Qing next to the Emperor. The palace maids around you can testify to this. Now that he has rebelled, how could it be unrelated to the Empress?"

Madam Xu said sternly, "Prime Minister Lin, are you doubting me?"

"It's not suspicion, but determination. The assassin so brazenly revealed the plan of Thousand Killings Tower in public, isn't it because the Emperor's life is already in your hands and you think everything is settled?"

Prime Minister Lin spoke very logically.

He continued in a faint voice: "Empress Qing, please stop pretending. This must be your trick. You set up a trap to make the emperor trust you and bring your people around. Then you find an opportunity to hold the emperor hostage, and even use this matter to provoke the relationship between Nanqi and Beiling. Otherwise, how can you explain that Nanqi and Beiling have only been in alliance for a year and are about to have another conflict?"

It has to be said

that Prime Minister Lin is worthy of being the Prime Minister of Nanqi and the head of all officials. As soon as

such a well-reasoned and well-founded statement came out, it immediately attracted the approval of many people.

Even if they think that An Yunze's sudden exposure of Concubine Qing's identity is a bit abrupt.

But Prime Minister Lin said that these killer madmen think that the matter is a foregone conclusion, everything is under control, and they have nothing to worry about.

Who dares to assassinate the emperor if not a madman?

After hearing what Prime Minister Lin said, Madam Xu's body was trembling slightly. She gritted her teeth and said with red cheeks: "Prime Minister Lin, I am not the owner of the Thousand Killings Tower. These are all tricks of assassins and Beiling Kingdom. They are joining hands to murder the emperor. I am saving the emperor!"

Emperor Nanqi saw that these people seemed to be fighting among themselves, and he wanted to say a few words.

However, he had been mute, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

He could only be held and tied to the spot.

An Yunze made a timely response: "Master, it's already so late. There's no need to hide your identity any more. Although you don't have the special mark of a killer in Qiansha Tower, as the master, you have a token that can mobilize all the killers in Qiansha Tower. You always carry this important thing with you."

Mrs. Xu's heart suddenly stopped beating.

She stared at the cold and handsome man in front of her with her eyes wide open. At this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his lips.

That smile made his face look like a blooming flower, short-lived and charming.

However, it made her feel cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave!

Today, her past was exposed.

The people around looked at Madam Xu with more vigilance. Some people had already drawn their swords and pointed them in the direction of Madam Xu.

Madam Xu had been the owner of Qiansha Tower for so many years. She was ruthless and cunning. Naturally, she would not be scared by a few words from the other party. She just raised her eyes coldly and stared at An Yunze's face.

"I really didn't expect it."

She thought that a person as arrogant as An Yunze must be afraid of death.

He was also a disciple of Wei Chidu. Wei Chidu would definitely arrange for him to enter Qiansha Tower to repay her Xu family for their protection of the Wei Chi family.

As a result, Wei Chidu not only raised an ungrateful person, but also betrayed her!

However, Madam Xu was a little confused. She had no grudge against the White-haired Ghost, and his life was in her hands. Why would he betray her?

There was no antidote for the Seven Days Killing. He should know that once he left the Thousand Killings Tower, he would surely die!

Prime Minister Lin frowned.

"Although we cannot believe everything the killer says, we cannot be completely unprepared. Please allow us to search you, Empress Qing. If you do not have the token of the owner of the Thousand Killings Tower, then this matter will be cancelled. If you do..." Upon

hearing this, Empress Qing looked at Prime Minister Lin with murderous eyes.

What else did she not understand? It seemed that someone was instructing Prime Minister Lin from behind.

"I'll see who dares!"

Prime Minister Lin shouted, "Empress Qing, are you tacitly agreeing?"

Madam Xu bit her lip.

This white-haired ghost knew her too well. It was her fault that she didn't guard against him and never thought that he would be desperate!

In all these years, there has never been a traitor who didn't care about his life in Qianshalou, so she trusted people who took the Seven Days Killing.

Especially when she met a top master like the white-haired ghost, she would deliberately win people's hearts, give him a little trust, appease the white-haired ghost, and make him feel a sense of belonging to Qianshalou.

She even promised to let the White-haired Ghost be the deputy owner of Qiansha Tower!

The owner's order was on her at this time. Once she was searched, her identity would be exposed.

Madam Xu turned around and faced the people from Nanqi behind her, "Why don't you think about it? If the assassin was really my man, why would those two people from Beiling Kingdom sit there and watch the show calmly!"

Explanations were useless, and Madam Xu was speechless.

However, she was able to divert everyone's attention and direct the spearhead to Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ling Fengxun opened his thin lips and said, "Because this king has also been held hostage."
