Chapter 392: Sharpening the Knife



Liu Yuxiu was almost amused by her shameless words, "Oh, that's a lie, even if the emperor doesn't pass the throne to me, it won't be your turn as a prince."

"Snap"

The eldest prince patted his chair and stood up.

Her face was twisted and her eyes were filled with madness. Pointing at the portrait of the late emperor hanging in the lobby of the Xianji Palace, he said hatefully:

"At the beginning, the Saintess of the Cui family left a prophecy that the Liu family's fate in three years would end. Even if they violated the law of borrowing luck, they could not survive for another year. Only if a woman was born could they turn the tide and continue the prosperity."

She patted her chest and said, "In our generation, the Liu family has reached a critical moment in the fourth year. The Queen is the eldest daughter of the Emperor and is the legitimate empress."

As she spoke, she laughed sarcastically: "That evil creature Prince Yin used the four maxims to make a fuss. In fact, it was the emperor who made it up on his own. He just felt that if his daughter became the emperor, it would be equivalent to the imperial power falling into the hands of others. Hahaha, but he didn't expect that Prince Yin was not his son. Hahaha..."

The Grand Duke pointed at the portrait of the late emperor with a look of gloating and laughed.

Borrowing luck is the biggest secret of the royal family. I didn’t expect that the royal sister also knew it, and even said it in front of so many people. The imperial sister is simply crazy.

Liu Xixiu looked very unhappy.

The Grand Duke continued, "The Saintess of the Cui Family has always been very accurate in her predictions. It has been almost four years since the Liu Family came to power, right? So, for the sake of the Liu Family's prosperity, the Emperor, please abdicate."

Liu Xiaoxiu sneered and said, "Is the throne passed to you?"

"No, I don't want it."

"Don't you want to be the empress? Don't you always say you want to be the empress? Why are you so hypocritical? Or do you know yourself well enough to know that even if I pass the throne to you, the generals guarding the border in Cangwu will not agree?"

The Grand Duke glanced at the portrait of the late emperor and said, "Humph! The Queen Mother really doesn't want to be an empress. What's the point of being an emperor? She's always busy and busy, and she can't even take a nap during the morning court.

But the Queen Mother was not convinced, and the Emperor was biased. He would rather pass the throne to an outsider of unknown origin than let the Queen Mother be the empress. Then the Queen Mother will be the Queen Mother of Cangwu.

The son of the Queen is the emperor, hahahaha, Queen Dowager, the Queen doesn't want to be the empress anymore, the Queen wants to be the emperor emeritus! ”

Liu Xiu sneered, "A person who disregards the lives of people all over the city and resorts to poison is worthy of being the emperor?"

The Grand Duke chuckled and said, "It's just a few diarrheas. It's their good fortune that the palace cleared their stomachs for them."

Emperor Liu Xiu looked at the Grand Duke and asked, "Can you really heal yourself after just two pulls?"

"Of course, what the Princess wants is the throne, not the lives of all the people in the city. When the Princess' son ascends the throne, the Princess will say that this plague is a punishment for your unworthiness and harm.

Then you realized that you were guilty of serious sins and were unfit to be a king, so you passed the throne to the eldest prince.

As soon as my son ascended the throne, the whole city was almost cured of the disease. They no longer needed to take medicine and their health improved. This also shows that my son is the chosen one and will benefit all people.

How about it? Are you satisfied with this result, brother? ”

Hearing this, a man in black behind the Grand Duke raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a cold smile.

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the incurable disease, he would have let it go.

Suddenly there was a "thump" sound and a person was thrown in through the window. Everyone looked and found that it was Zhu Beichen.

It turned out that Zhu Beichen was anxious to rescue the emperor, and when he saw that the gate of Xianji Palace was guarded by masked men in black, he went around to the window. Naturally, there were also men in black guarding outside the window.

Zhu Beichen knew that if everyone in the palace fell ill and couldn't get up, in order to save the emperor, he had to risk his life to lure away the masked man in black outside the window and let the guards escort the emperor out through the window.

However, he overestimated his body. His rapid running made his eyes go dark, and he fainted in front of the masked man in black, which was equivalent to walking into a trap.

If Song Jinxiu was here, she would know that he was dehydrated and had hypoglycemia due to the extreme speed exercise.

After a brief coma, Zhu Beichen found himself being picked up and thrown into the hall through the window. Lying next to Eunuch Hai.

Seeing Zhu Beichen, the emperor quickly asked, "What's going on outside the palace?"

Zhu Beichen was depressed that he had a bad start. Many people did not tie him up, probably because they were too disdainful to tie up a sick and fainted person.

Hearing His Majesty's question, he quickly said: "Everyone has been poisoned, but we have found out that the poison is called the haunted house."

"What? The poison of the haunted house?" Eunuch Hai, who was lying on the ground, screamed and then cried, "Your Majesty, I know that the poison of the haunted house has this symptom. I am afraid I have to go first."

An imperial physician exclaimed, "It's over, it's over. There's no antidote to the poison in the haunted house. We're all going to die now."

The Grand Duke sneered, "What ghost house poison? I didn't expect that Lord Zhu from the Imperial City Department was full of lies. My brother, I don't have time to talk to you, so just take out the seal."

At this time, on the road back to Beijing, a black horse came galloping, followed closely by ten black-clad guards.

This person is Song Jinxiu.

The reason why the thirty-six guards became ten guards was because the other fourteen guards and Su Chuan were all in the space.

After all, they were on the road, traveling without sleep, and with so many people working hard together, it would be better for Song Jinxiu to travel alone and let them rest in the space. They could be released when there was real danger.

But the secret guards disagreed. They were imperial guards, so how could they let Song Jinxiu run around outside alone? What if there is any danger and my son doesn't have time to summon them?

Under Song Jinxiu's insistence, both sides took a step back, and the thirty-six guards were divided into three shifts, taking turns to enter the space to rest. In this way, there were always ten guards accompanying the son, and they were also at ease.

Su Chuan frowned: "It's a pity that you can't go into the space to rest."

Song Jinxiu: "I entered the space from somewhere, and when I came out, I was still in the same place. There's nothing I can do about it."

The treasure-hunting rat Junjun sent a voice message: "If you can form a pill, the space may be upgraded, and then you can teleport."

Song Jinxiu: I don’t even dare to think about building the foundation, let alone forming the elixir? With the help of Su Mo's training, she and her friends had just reached the fourth level of the Qi training stage. If Ru꿷 and Su Mo were to separate, it would be unknown when she could break through to the fourth level of Qi training.

The thirty-six guards took turns to rest, but Song Jinxiu could not, so she was the most tired during these days.

However, a forced march was nothing to her standing body. What made her anxious was the safety of His Majesty and her family.

Song Jinxiu traveled day and night, regardless of wind or rain, eating and sleeping on horseback, galloping all the way, changing horses but not changing people.

The closer she got to the capital, the more uneasy she felt. I had a dream and when I woke up I had forgotten everything in the dream, but I remembered a passage:

The emperor star is swaying, and Mars is high up. Suddenly, a madman is sharpening his knife at night! Don't look at his mission to reform the country, the city is filled with wronged souls, which is unbearable to look at.

Song Jinxiu frowned, her spirit trembling.
