Chapter 81: Which is more important, him or national affairs?
The torches flickered as the messenger returned in a hurry.
After he whispered to the commander for a moment, the commander's expression suddenly changed, "Tie them all up for me, especially the princess!"
Chu Yangyang put the golden hairpin against her throat and said, "Whoever dares to touch the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be killed on the spot with the secrets of the treasure trove!"
"Wait a minute." The commander quickly stopped the officers and soldiers who wanted to take action.
The secret guards surrounded Chu Yangyang and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Chu Yangyang looked at the number of people on both sides. The enemy was outnumbered and the number difference was huge.
Chu Yangyang took a step forward and looked directly at the commander: "Let them go, I will go with you to report."
She ripped open her sleeves, revealing the bruised, poisonous marks on her wrists. "Your Highness wants the victim alive. If you push me too far, don't blame me for taking your master's secrets with me to hell."
The golden hairpin on the fingertip suddenly pierced the throat.
The commander swept his scabbard quickly and shouted, "Wait, everyone, retreat!"
Chu Yangyang turned around and whispered to the secret guard, "Protect the people to the western suburbs horse farm. Don't return home until you see three red lanterns hanging from the eaves!"
This was the code word Luo Xifeng taught her. Three lights represented the time to detoxify.
The secret guards arranged for everyone to run straight to the back door.
Chu Yangyang looked at the direction they left and said, "If I knew that you would harm the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion later, I would not reveal any information about the treasury. Using their lives in exchange for the treasures in the treasury, I think your Excellency should know how to weigh the pros and cons."
The commander was undecided, feeling that Chu Yangyang was too difficult to deal with. "First, capture the princess and bring her to the master to discuss."
The officers and soldiers rushed forward and knocked the hairpin out of her hand.
The moment she turned around, Chu Yangyang casually swallowed a pill.
Afterwards, he was taken all the way to the palace by the commander.
The Golden Palace was filled with the stench of blood, and the tip of the sword of the third prince Li Rongjue was against the emperor's throat.
Luo Xifeng knelt at the foot of the altar, his official uniform soaked by the bleeding wound on his left shoulder, and a half-broken silver needle was still clutched in his right hand.
"Master, the princess is here." The commander was the first to enter the Golden Palace.
Chu Yangyang was pushed in, and the silver needle in Luo Xifeng's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
How could she fall into the hands of the Third Prince?
His pupils constricted as he saw that the wound on her wrist from the chain was oozing black blood, a sign of the poison taking effect.
"You've arrived just in time for the couple to be reunited." Li Rongjue threw the imperial edict at Chu Yangyang's feet. "Princess, please persuade our Imperial Physician Luo to stop blocking our father from affixing the imperial seal and to obediently produce the hidden seal."
The emperor was weak, but he could not hide his disappointment. "Third brother, you are too presumptuous. You are plotting treason!"
Li Rongjue sneered, "Father, you've never looked down on me, your son, and always given the best to the Crown Prince. Do you know that I'm the most like you? Please draft this imperial decree quickly, so I can avoid suffering and pass away soon, reuniting with your beloved son, the Crown Prince."
"What!" The old emperor coughed repeatedly upon hearing this, "What did you do to the prince?"
"What can the prince do? He simply fell ill and unfortunately, there was no cure, so he died."
Li Rongjue looked extremely proud.
Chu Yangyang picked up the imperial edict and chuckled, "Your Highness, do you want the imperial seal or the treasury?"
She suddenly threw the imperial edict towards the candlestick, and the flames wrapped around the bright yellow silk.
Li Rongjue's sword suddenly attacked and was against her throat.
"Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"
"If you kill me, the three hundred boxes of gold ingots in Dongling Mountain will be buried underground forever." She glanced at Luo Xifeng, her eyes flashed, and Luo Xifeng understood instantly.
Li Rongjue turned around and hit her in the abdomen with the hilt of his sword.
The moment Chu Yangyang coughed up blood foam, Luo Xifeng suddenly jumped up.
Three silver needles came through the air and accurately pierced into Li Rongjue's sword-holding wrist.
Li Rongjue stumbled back, "It seems that Doctor Luo doesn't have a bad relationship with the princess as rumored. On the contrary, he seems to care about her very much."
"The silver needle has been quenched with seven days of red." Luo Xifeng's voice was icy. "Without my antidote, Your Highness will never survive seven days."
He glanced at Luo Xifeng, then at Chu Yangyang, and Li Rongjue suddenly sneered.
He suddenly grabbed Chu Yangyang's throat again, and his five fingers suddenly tightened, and Chu Yangyang's neck turned blue in an instant.
"You can refuse to give me the antidote, but Chu Yangyang's life will also be lost. You can take a gamble."
Chu Yangyang stared at Luo Xifeng, it was all over now.
Her life was already in danger, how could it be compared with the overall situation of Dai Viet?
Give up this good situation for her.
Could it be that even after trying so hard for so long, she still couldn't escape the plot of the original book? She was still doomed to die. Yes, she died at the hands of Luo Xifeng.
Didn't Luo Xifeng always want to kill her?
How could he save her?
She lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, Luo Xifeng saw a hint of determination. "Third Prince, I'm afraid you've made a wrong bet. Lord Luo and I have always been at odds. He won't give in for me. You'd better think about how to collect your body."
Li Rongjue saw the despair in Chu Yangyang's eyes, and he felt a little panic again. Could it be that he really made a wrong judgment?
He tightened his grip again, and Chu Yangyang's breathing became increasingly difficult.
She was no stranger to this familiar feeling of being on the verge of death.
By the way, didn’t Luo Xifeng pinch her like this several times?
She walked slowly, as if she was almost out of breath.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, Luo Xifeng's loud voice sounded.
Li Rongjue suddenly relaxed the strength in his hands, and Chu Yangyang was able to breathe deeply.
Luo Xifeng hid the silver needle in his sleeve and said, "The antidote is in the secret compartment of my medicine box. Your Highness can take it yourself."
Li Rongjue sneered again. How could he have misjudged someone?
He signaled the commander to take the medicine box. The commander smashed open the secret compartment and took out a bottle of medicine.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."
Luo Xifeng protected the emperor, but his eyes were fixed on Chu Yangyang.
"Your Highness the Third Prince can choose not to believe me."
Li Rongjue followed his gaze and looked at Chu Yangyang in his hand, smiling meaningfully, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of your deception now."
Li Rongjue drank the antidote and felt a little lighter.
It’s true that what Luo Xifeng gave him was the antidote.
Having seized the opponent's weakness in the game, Li Rongjue became more and more proud. He stepped on Chu Yangyang's back, causing a sharp pain.
This bastard actually dared to abuse her.
Chu Yangyang raised her eyes to look at Luo Xifeng, and saw that he looked distressed.
She didn't have time to think about why he had such an expression, because the damn Third Prince actually chased her from behind again.
This is intolerable!
They are both cannon fodder supporting roles, so why can Li Rongjue step on her head so arrogantly?
It's simply rebellious against Tiangang.
She doesn't need to endure it anymore!!
