Chapter 325 Who is behind this?
"Oh no, OP, King Xuan... King Xuan has found out about us!"
Yan Hongyue rushed into the room anxiously, and before she could even catch her breath, she brought the bad news.
"How could it be so fast?" Yi Ziyan stood up suddenly, his face looking so depressed that it seemed as if ink could drip out of it.
Didn’t they say that the imperial physicians in the palace searched for a long time but couldn’t find the cause?
Yan Hongyue gritted her teeth and said, "Emperor Zhaowen sent Prince Xuan over. Who could have expected that he would see through the clues at a glance! OP, Prince Xuan has repeatedly ruined our plans. If we don't get rid of him, there will be endless troubles!"
Yi Ziyan was of course aware of this matter, but Xiao Jinxuan's martial arts were superb, and the guards around him had their own magical powers. It would not be easy to find an opportunity to attack him.
And no matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem right. "No, I handled this matter myself and cut off all the clues. It's impossible for King Xuan to find out about us so quickly."
Either that or Xiao Jinxuan is a god who can predict the future and knows everything.
Otherwise, there is a traitor among them!
He personally came to clean up the aftermath, so there was no way anything could have gone wrong. The only problem was when the poison was administered.
His aura suddenly faltered, and he shook his wrist, causing the soft sword to slide down and stab straight towards Yan Hongyue.
Yan Hongyue quickly stepped back, looking a little angry, "Owner, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? Hongyue, I trusted you so much, but you betrayed me. I'm so sad." Yi Ziyan said as he tilted his head inconspicuously and listened carefully to the direction of her voice.
"Betray?" Hearing these two words, Yan Hongyue looked incredulous. "Master, my loyalty to you is known to all, how could I possibly betray you? Did you misunderstand something?"
But before she could finish her words, the sword was already there.
Although Yi Ziyan couldn't see, his moves were still fast, accurate and ruthless. "Oh, just because I'm blind doesn't mean my heart is blind. If you hadn't leaked the news today, how could Xiao Jinxuan have found out about us?"
Yan Hongyue dodged it narrowly and wanted to explain, "Maybe something went wrong and left some clues?"
"Really? What about the time before, when you bought Xiao Jinxuan's guard into the building as a prostitute and brought him to the manor? Was that also a mistake? You have been working with me for so many years, how could you not even recognize Xiao Jinxuan's guard?"
"It was just a mistake."
Mistake?
Just this one mistake caused them to suffer heavy losses and also killed the Minister of War Huo Wei!
He had always suspected that there was a traitor inside, but he was reluctant to suspect her.
But she keeps playing me like a fool!
Pushing Yan Hongyue to the corner, with the tip of the sword across her neck, Yi Ziyan's voice was chilling.
"Tell me, who do you belong to?"
The prince's men?
Not likely.
If she was the prince's person, how could she possibly lay a hand on the little prince?
Just when he was thinking hard, Yan Hongyue suddenly raised her hand to cover her red lips and giggled.
"Oh, you are really amazing. You actually figured it out. But it's too late now. King Xuan must have brought people to the door. You can't run away."
As she spoke, she shook the silver bell in her hand, and a poisonous snake suddenly jumped out and bit Yi Ziyan.
Yi Ziyan covered his neck and squatted down in pain.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Yan Hongyue smiled and said, "Looks like I should leave now."
This Yi Ziyan, let’s consider it as a great gift from her to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan.
"If you want to leave, it's not that easy!" Yi Ziyan took his last breath and slapped the mechanism under the table.
There was a loud rumbling noise, and countless poisonous arrows were shot out from all directions, densely packed and intertwined like a net, leaving no way for people to escape.
"This bastard!" Yan Hongyue suddenly wanted to curse him. If she had known earlier, she would have just killed Yi Ziyan.
She didn't dare to delay and dodged quickly.
Before the arrows were shot, Yi Ziyan rolled over and rolled into the tunnel, disappearing in an instant.
It was a pity that no matter how fast Yan Hongyue dodged, she couldn't hit everything, and soon she was hit by several arrows.
The Feiyun Guards arrived and caught her red-handed with almost no effort.
Soon, she saw a man in a black python robe walking towards her.
He had sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, and he had a fierce aura. When he looked over, there was a heavy, oppressive feeling.
Yan Hongyue raised her lips and smiled sweetly, "Hey, Your Highness Prince Xuan, we meet again. You broke my heart so much before, and it hasn't healed yet. You have to take responsibility."
To be honest, if Xiao Jinxuan hadn't injured her last time, she wouldn't have been trapped to death in a trap just now.
Xiao Jinxuan glanced at her calmly, "Antidote."
"What antidote?" She blinked and pretended to be confused.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Xiao Jinxuan turned and left, "Leave it to Wei Zhao."
Wei Zhao was in charge of the interrogation and had his own ways to make her confess.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan did not even give her room for negotiation. Yan Hongyue bit her lip and said quickly, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, I can give you the antidote, but you must agree to my three conditions."
Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyes coldly, "Too much."
Yan Hongyue gritted her teeth, "Two! Two conditions!"
But the man's expression did not waver at all. "I only give you two choices. Either hand over the antidote, or die immediately."
Yan Hongyue laughed angrily.
There is really no room for negotiation.
Sometimes she found it strange that Xiao Jinxuan had two different faces when facing Xie Zhuoning and other people.
What? Don’t you consider yourself a woman?
She closed her eyelids and said, "I put the antidote on a boat moored on Jincui Lake. Only you, Your Highness Prince Xuan, can go with me to get it. Do you dare?"
"Master, let me go." Ling Feng stood out with a worried look on his face.
This woman obviously came with a purpose, and she must not be trusted easily.
As long as I go with her, I don't think this woman can cause any trouble.
Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand to stop Ling Feng, then turned around and agreed, "Okay, I'll go."
After reaching the shore, the two took a small boat all the way to the center of the lake.
A pleasure boat was quietly docked there, deserted and without any human figures in sight.
The two flew onto the deck and entered the cabin. Yan Hongyue bowed through the screen and said, "Sir, I have brought the person to you."
Xiao Jinxuan narrowed his eyes, a little surprised.
Isn't she the Prince of Yong's woman? Then who is the person behind the screen?
Just as I was wondering, a man's voice came from inside, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, I have long heard of your great name."
Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyes and asked, "Who are you? Why do you have to hide your head and show your tail and dare not see anyone?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, Your Highness Prince Xuan, do you really want to use this antidote to save the little grandson?"
"What do you mean?"
A light laugh, and the words from inside came out clearly -
"Don't you want to aspire for the throne, Your Highness?"
