Chapter 1237 Killing with a knife
The guard replied: "King Ning is dead."

Rong Jiu was very surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "Dead?"

The imperial guards nodded. At that time, the hidden guards suddenly appeared, and the imperial guards thought they were here to save people: "Those people killed King Ning before they robbed King Lingnan."

Rong Jiu's eyes moved, and he understood.

No matter how powerful the Xiao family's hidden guards are, it would not be easy to rescue someone from the heavily guarded palace.

The King of Lingnan has fought in the battlefield for many years, and his martial arts are very strong. If he has the help of hidden guards, he will surely break out of the encirclement.

Therefore, the Xiao family abandoned King Ning, but King Ning also has the blood of the Xiao family. Even the discarded chess pieces of the Xiao family can only die in the hands of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family has always been ruthless and ruthless in their affairs, and the corners of Rong Jiu's lips curled up slightly, full of mockery.

After discussing state affairs, he withdrew from the court, and Rong Jiu ordered Chu Wei to sneak into Shoukang Palace and assassinate Empress Dowager Xiao.

The Empress Dowager Xiao lived in Shoukang Palace and was still able to contact Prime Minister Xiao secretly. It seemed that her life was too leisurely. No matter how many guards there were in Shoukang Palace, none of them would be left behind.

The defeat of King Ning and King of Lingnan has been decided, and it is time to take action and clean up the Xiao family.

In Shoukang Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao sat quietly under the window, her eyes fell to the void in the distance, she didn't know what she was thinking, the cup of hot tea on the table had already cooled down.

Nanny Zhang changed to another cup of hot tea: "Queen Mother,"

Empress Dowager Xiao was silent for a long time before slowly asking: "How is King Ning?"

"His Royal Highness Ning, he." Madam Zhang hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Your Highness, he is dead, he was killed with a knife, and there is no pain."

A gloomy look flashed across Empress Dowager Xiao's graceful face: "When Ruo'er died, the Ai family didn't save her. If she knew that the Ai family took King Ning's life, even if it was in the underworld, she would wish Ai family could die. .”

"The Empress Dowager will live a long and healthy life."

"So what if you live a hundred years?" Empress Dowager Xiao said sadly, "The Xiao family is in decline, and only Yu'er and Yan'er are left."

Nanny Zhang knew that Empress Dowager Xiao was thinking of Xiao Jue's death, so she comforted softly: "The empress dowager abandoned them for the sake of the Xiao family. Take care of your phoenix body, my condolences."

"The Ai family has never regretted what they have done, even if they hate the Ai family, if the Ai family is re-elected, the Ai family will do the same. They have always sacrificed themselves to die for the great cause, but never because of a single life. .”

Empress Dowager Xiao picked up the teacup in front of her, the tea soup was clear, reflecting the sharpness in her eyes.

In the dormitory, there was a slight knocking sound suddenly, a wall behind the screen was slowly opened, and Prime Minister Xiao came out from the secret passage.

Nanny Zhang knew that the two of them had something important to discuss, so she served tea, then bowed and retreated, guarding in front of the hall gate.

Prime Minister Xiao asked calmly, "Auntie, is Chu Xun back?"

The Empress Dowager Xiao lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea slowly: "Before, he was attacked and died in the first line of sky. Ai's family was still wondering how he could be plotted by King Ning so easily. It turned out that the golden cicada escaped its shell and sneaked into the It's Lingnan."

"I also asked Ruan Jing to test Rong Jiu. It's just that this woman has too deep thoughts and was deceived by her."

When Rong Jiu was mentioned, hatred flashed across Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes, with a cold smile on her face: "The Su family and the Xiao family have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, just to help Chu Xun take the throne. Now, His Majesty has appointed Rong Jiu as the empress dowager." Girl, there is a good show to watch."
