Chapter 333: Abandoning Her Without Leaving a Way Back
The people brought by Wolf Cub also drew their scimitars from their waists, but there were only about ten of them, and compared with the Yulin Army, they seemed like a mob.
Pei Yandu laughed, "Does Marquis Longfeng think that you can resist with just a few men?"
The wolf cub naturally knew that it was not enough, but he couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
Pei Yan's smile turned cold and he raised his hand to give an order.
"Deputy Commander Pei, we haven't reached the top of the mountain yet." Rong Huan suddenly spoke.
Pei Yan glanced at Rong Huan and did not take the Princess Regent of Dongyue seriously. He came here today to follow the orders of the Second Prince to kill Su Rui.
He would rather kill early than kill later.
Su Rui died, Yun Ji fell, and the Yue family lost their support, and Yue Heyun lost even more. In order to save the Yue family, she had no choice but to beg him.
Therefore, he chose to make this knife for the second prince.
As for Rong Huan, she is just the second prince's collaborator, not his own. She is a foreign prostitute, so why should he be ordered to do so?
Ignoring Rong Huan, Pei Yan waved his hand downwards and gave the order to attack.
Disgust and displeasure flashed across Rong Huan's round almond-shaped eyes as she said coldly, "What a disobedient dog."
Pei Yan frowned when he heard this, and was about to turn around to refute, but suddenly the world spun around him, and he fell uncontrollably to the ground. He lost consciousness before he even had time to see Rong Huan clearly.
The same goes for other Yulin Guards.
The wolf cub wanted to struggle, but he looked at Su Rui unwillingly and closed his eyes.
Su Rui covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief scented with spices, holding on so as not to collapse like the others, but her situation was not good either.
My head is dizzy and my legs are weak.
"Concubine Su, you are good at spices, so you should know how powerful this thing is. You can't withstand it." Rong Huan said as she walked towards Su Rui, and the faint strange fragrance became clearer.
Previously, it was covered by the perfume powder on Rong Huan's body that originally covered the stench of corpse. In addition, they were nervous and didn't notice much. By the time they climbed halfway up the mountain, they had already inhaled quite a lot. In addition, Rong Huan and Dong Yue and the others shook their clothes, and the fragrance suddenly burst out, causing Pei Yan and the wolf cub to fall down immediately.
And Su Rui really couldn't hold on for much longer.
His feet went weak and he fell down.
Rong Huan held her in her arms and said softly, "Don't worry, this princess won't harm you, at least not while you're still in this body."
Su Rui didn't hear the rest of the words clearly and fell into a coma.
…
The news that Su Rui and Rong Huan were kidnapped had spread throughout Shengjing. Important officials urgently gathered at the Grand Council to discuss matters. The city defense battalion, patrol battalion, and Dragon and Tiger Army urgently blocked all city gates and conducted a thorough search in the suburbs in the snow.
But after searching for most of the day, they only found a number of Yulin soldiers lying in the snow on a mountainside, frozen to death. Wolf Cub and Pei Yan were still breathing, but they were unconscious and had a high fever, so they could not ask anything.
Meanwhile, Yanzhou got the news from somewhere and had already sent troops. Most people in the capital were trembling with fear and could only wait for Queen Lin to speak.
But Queen Lin was helpless when she looked at the Second Prince.
She had secretly monitored the Second Prince and Prime Minister Lin. Since then, there had been no further movement from the two of them, and they seemed to have surrendered. However, Queen Lin knew that neither of them, the grandfather or granddaughter, were such people. She was careful and cautious, and had already prevented many things. However, she did not expect that Princess Dongyue would be involved.
But now, no matter how hard they look, they can't find any trace of Su Rui.
"Where is the person?" Queen Lin asked.
The Second Prince, kneeling on the ground, shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said helplessly, "Mother, I really don't know where Su Rui is. Before you summoned me today, I stayed in the Lin Mansion and never left."
"Pah!"
Before she finished her words, Queen Lin reached out and slapped the Second Prince in the face. The sharp tip of the armor instantly left two bloody marks on his face.
The Second Prince reached out and touched his beaten cheek. He looked at the blood on his fingertips and brought it to his lips. He licked it with the tip of his tongue. The fishy-sweet taste made him open his mouth and smile, "My mother is so anxious that she's not even afraid of getting her hands dirty."
Queen Lin ignored the Second Prince's provocation and simply extended her hand to Youlan. While letting Youlan wipe her hands with a silk handkerchief, she looked at the fool in front of her and said, "Do you think you can succeed?"
"Why not?" The Second Prince's arrogant nature needed no suppression. "Your Majesty, since I despise you, and I can't become what you want, why not compromise? Besides, since fate has made Su Rui disappear, my young uncle can seize the opportunity to send troops. We can respond. If we win, everything will be resolved, and Your Majesty won't have to worry. Then, you can just be the Empress Dowager."
Queen Lin's eyes, usually cold towards the Second Prince, showed anger, but before she could say anything, the chief eunuch outside rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Yong has arrived at the East Gate with an army of 120,000."
"One hundred and twenty thousand is quite a lot," the Second Prince sighed, but his tone didn't contain any panic, but rather excitement. "Mother, now that things have come to this, leave it to me to handle. The imperial decree must be issued soon, otherwise..."
The second prince did not continue speaking, but who could not hear the threat in his words?
Without waiting for Queen Lin's consent, the Second Prince raised his knees and slowly stood up from the ground. His figure gradually covered Queen Lin who was sitting on the phoenix throne. Then he bowed casually and turned to walk out of the palace gate.
After the people left, Youlan looked at Queen Lin worriedly and said, "Your Majesty, there's been no reply from Master..."
Queen Lin took a deep breath and did not answer.
The Lin family has always been a wolf pack. The alpha wolves compete for leadership rights, and the wolves below have no ability to fight for power and choose to follow obediently.
However, once the alpha wolf is replaced, no matter how loyal they were to the previous alpha wolf, they will wisely switch sides in an instant.
Prime Minister Lin is old, but Ke Xin is still as vicious as ever.
He actually chose to abandon her without leaving any way out.
Now that things have come to this, if the Lin family wants to gamble, move to a higher level, or protect themselves, they will naturally turn to Prime Minister Lin. As for whether the leader will be Prime Minister Lin or the second in command, they don’t care. They only care about whether the Lin family can continue to do better.
"No problem, bring me paper and pen, I will draft the decree myself."
When Youlan heard that Empress Lin really wanted someone to draft an edict and that she had to write it herself, she was shocked and felt mixed emotions, but she didn't say anything. She just obediently took out paper and pen.
While grinding for Queen Lin, he looked at the words written by Queen Lin. His eyes widened and widened, and finally his pupils trembled uncontrollably.
"Empress...this..." Youlan couldn't stop shaking.
Empress Lin was terrifyingly calm. She wrote the last line without being affected at all, put down her pen, and handed the drafted decree to the eunuch.
"Go and convey the order immediately."
