Chapter 408 You're Going to Kill Him
The sounds of rituals and music outside the hall were one after another, giving Zhao Hua and Xiao Jingyan plenty of time to be alone.
Zhao Hua, who was joking with Jamel Xiao just now,
But at this moment, he first put on a serious expression and said in a deep voice:
"Brother, since you know that the emperor will not leave the Chen couple alive, then you send them away like this. The emperor can't find them. Who do you think the emperor will suspect? Brother, how many lives do you have? How much suspicion can you withstand?"
From the beginning, Xiao Jingyan understood that Zhao Hua did this to protect him.
But he is a person who is very inconsistent in appearance and reality.
Although he appears cynical on the surface, he is actually more stubborn and loyal than anyone else.
Therefore, he absolutely could not agree with Zhao Hua's approach.
"So, in order to save me, you have to sacrifice other people's lives? You have to sacrifice the lives of the kind people who helped you protect Cheng Yu and raised him healthily? What's the difference between you and Xiao Jingheng!?"
Facing his aggressive questioning, Zhao Hua did not retreat at all, but instead asked back with a stronger aura:
"What about my brother? What did he do? You sent the people to Yuncheng, but Yuncheng is your fiefdom. The whole world belongs to the king. How difficult can it be for the emperor to find two living people?
When the emperor finds them, he will tie you three up and take you to the execution ground, chopping off your heads neatly. Will that satisfy you, brother?"
Zhao Hua's question left Xiao Jingyan speechless for a moment.
After a while, he said absentmindedly: "I couldn't think so much at that time, I could only..."
"Brother has been inconsiderate for a long time. From the time you asked me to steal the Tianji secret order, and from the time you dared to have a fight with Sister Rong in the palace, I knew that you were a person who didn't care about your life."
Zhao Hua interrupted Xiao Jingyan angrily, and then said frankly: "Yes, I sent someone to pick up the Chen couple from Yuncheng, and I also advised the emperor to kill the Chen couple quickly to avoid more trouble."
"you......"
"If I don't do this, I won't be able to find out from the emperor how he plans to get rid of the Chen couple, and I won't be able to properly arrange the future."
Xiao Jingyan's eyes widened. From Zhao Hua's calmness, he seemed to have a glimpse of his own recklessness, and his voice became much weaker.
"What happened next?"
Zhao Hua rolled his eyes at him impatiently. "When I got the emperor to tell me that he was planning to burn the Chen couple alive, I asked Tianji to find some bullies in Hengzhou, disguise them as the Chen couple, and then throw them in the old house, waiting for people to burn them at night. As for the real Chen couple, I sent them from Yuncheng to Danzhou early in the morning."
She slowed down, clenched her right fist and punched Jamel Xiao's chest hard, then raised her eyebrows and said jokingly:
"Do you understand? My good brother who is stupid and unaware~"
After hearing what Zhao Hua said, Xiao Jingyan felt as if his cheeks were slapped several times by someone, and they were burning with pain.
He scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and his attitude changed instantly. He smiled with a bit of silliness in his ruffian spirit:
"Hey, I knew my sister wouldn't do that..."
"Stop." Zhao Hua put his index finger on Xiao Jingyan's lips and said jokingly with a smile, "I don't know who was so fierce just now, as if I took his money and was eager to confront me."
"Oops! I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Xiao Jingyan admitted his mistake quickly, and hurriedly approached Zhao Hua with a playful smile.
"I'm also afraid that you'll go down the wrong path and become the person you hate the most. And if I tell you the truth, you're the one to blame! Why did you hide this from me? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to..."
"Of course I can't tell you this early." Zhao Hua's eyes moved lightly over him.
"You are the person who can't hide your true feelings on your face. If I tell you, you will still look cool when you go in and out of the palace and think that no one is around. If the emperor's people see you in private, how can they not be suspicious?
You are a person who values friendship the most, and the Chen couple are your best friends. If you can't pretend to be sad about your best friend's death, it's better to let you believe it. The actors are so into the play, so how can the audience not believe it?"
After hearing what Zhao Hua said, Xiao Jingyan was dumbfounded, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He only knew Zhaohua was smart.
But he didn't laugh at her ability to plan and calculate, which was so superb.
At this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Hua had changed from shock to a hint of "admiration".
Hearing him exclaim repeatedly:
"Alas! It is really a blessing for Jamel Xiao to have you by his side."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Zhaohua and smiled frivolously.
"You...are you going to kill him?"
Zhao Hua smiled indifferently and said lightly:
"Die? Why would I let my husband die? The emperor has been so kind to me, I will remember it in my heart forever! I will repay him tenfold or a hundredfold in the future, only then will the relationship between us as husband and wife be fulfilled."
Even a fool can understand the metaphor in this statement.
In this way, Xiao Jingyan stopped talking.
Instead, he pointed at the statue in a scoundrelly manner and said with a smile:
"Then you can play with him slowly, I have to go back and hide first~"
Zhao Hua frowned slightly upon hearing this and followed curiously to take a look.
Only then did he realize that the space behind the statue was very narrow. Xiao Jingyan was tall and strong, so if he wanted to hide behind it, he had to curl up like a turtle.
Seeing him like this, she couldn't help laughing.
"Since you've come all this way and endured this, you should at least meet the person you've been thinking about day and night, right?"
"You mean..."
"Hush." Zhao Hua placed his index finger between his lips and gestured to Xiao Jingyan, who was curled up in the dark corner, to keep quiet. Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Hide well, don't let your tail show out."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and opened the palace door. Among all the concubines, his eyes fell on Rong Yue alone.
"Shunpin, you have good handwriting. I asked you to copy the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Have you copied it completely?"
Rong Yue said, "Your Majesty, everything is here."
Caiying was holding the Buddhist scriptures to show to Zhaohua, but Zhaohua waved his hand and said:
"No need for that. Let Shunpin go in and burn these Buddhist scriptures herself."
Hearing this,
Rong Yue looked at Zhao Hua deeply, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, nodded heavily and said,
"Your Majesty... obeys your order!"
