The Tyrant Takes Love: Dote on the stunning fairy princess

Chapter 160 Preemptive Strike
"How's the situation over there?" In Fengqi Palace, the queen sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully drawing her eyebrows, and asked casually.

"Go back to empress, things are already being arranged, and the results will be available in two days." Gui Nanny picked out a ruby ​​screw and golden phoenix step, carefully inserted it into Queen Ruyun's hair, and looked at it, " This step is graceful and elegant without being too gorgeous, and it is just right for the empress to wear on the Lantern Festival."

Looking carefully at the bronze mirror, the woman in the mirror is dignified and beautiful, with creamy skin, hair like coiled clouds, dark red phoenix robe swaying with the golden phoenix, elegant and noble, without looking old, nodding in satisfaction , "Wear this on the Lantern Festival."

Nanny Gui smiled and said, "The empress will accompany the emperor to the viewing tower to enjoy the scenery that day, and she will surely overwhelm the crowd."

"My palace is the queen, the mother of a country, what I want is the ceremonies of the mother of the country, what is the use of fighting for such a false name." Having said that, the smile on the corner of the woman's mouth could not be concealed.

He took off the makeup on his body one by one and put it away, and said, "Where is Jun Xian's itinerary?"

"I have already passed Yancheng, and according to the report from the spies, in order to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, she has already thrown off the guards and traveled day and night at full speed. According to the speed, she will be able to return to the capital after the Lantern Festival."

"Then set the time on the night of the Lantern Festival. The emperor will go to the Observation Tower to have fun with the people. The clan mansion has no time to take care of it. This is our chance." Closing up her skirt, the queen smiled and got up and walked towards the phoenix couch. "Tell them that before Jun Xian comes back, Jing Li must die, and if it doesn't work out, they don't have to live."

"Yes." While serving the queen to go to bed, Nanny Gui considered and probed, "Ma'am, His Highness has been paying attention to the clan's mansion, and has made a lot of moves in recent days, but it seems that he doesn't intend to kill Jingli." , Do you want to let His Highness know about this matter first? The old servant is worried that if His Highness knows about it, it may cause His Highness to have a quarrel with His Majesty."

"No need." Narrowing her eyes, the queen flatly refused, "What His Highness is doing now is up to him to toss, you should pay attention to the side, don't let the emperor find out the clues. We are acting according to the plan, and don't let the prince know. , so as not to end up being wronged by him."

Nanny Gui was silent for a moment, and retreated after serving the empress to sleep.

There was a silent sigh at the corner of the mouth, the relationship between the empress and the eldest prince had already started because of Jing Li's matter, to be precise, because of the national teacher Jun Xian.

If it was in the past, how could the eldest prince make the queen angry because of outsiders, and how could the queen be wary of her own son because of outsiders.

The Lantern Festival is coming quietly.

Yuan Dehai waited on the emperor to bathe and set up his clothes, watching the emperor frown all the time, not daring to say anything.

Recently, no other useful clues have been found due to the attack on the fourth imperial daughter. Concubine Mei and the fourth imperial daughter killed Jing Li as the murderer. Convicted, the lights in the emperor's study room have not been extinguished.

The case was at a stalemate, and there was no new evidence to overturn the case. The emperor had not been able to re-argue, so he had to continue to imprison Jing Li in the clan mansion, and told him not to treat him badly.

I don't know when this thing will end.

Even though the old Prince Rui also showed up, all he could do was to suppress those who wanted to take the lead in the court, and to give the emperor some time to relax, it was really not of much use.

And the news came back from Beidi early in the morning that the national teacher Junxian left for Beijing on the third day of the new year, and he might arrive in the capital in less than two days.

At that time, the capital city will have to be turned around.

Not to mention the emperor, he, the servant who served from the side, felt a headache.

To describe it in one sentence, the current situation of the emperor is besieged on all sides.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming soon. The empress and the fourth concubine are already waiting outside, shouldn't it be time to go?"

Every year during the Lantern Festival, the emperor would take the queen and four noble concubines to the viewing tower in central Beijing to watch lanterns, enjoy fireworks, and have fun with the people.

This has been the practice over the years.

"Let's go." The emperor withdrew his expression, and walked out expressionlessly, "Today is the Lantern Festival, give the clan mansion an order to get some hearty meals, and don't treat them too harshly."

Yuan Dehai naturally knew who this harsh treatment was referring to, "Yes, the servant will order it in a while."

How could the people over there dare to treat Jing Li harshly if the emperor personally issued an order. If they were found out, they would be deceiving the emperor and would be beheaded.

Unless the prison head and jailer don't want to live, who would dare.

And ever since Jing Li was put into prison, the emperor has been ordering people to watch secretly, indeed no one dared to execute Jing Li privately, even the clothes on his body were the same as before, not changed into prison uniforms.

Except for the poor environment, Jing Li didn't suffer any grievances.

The order to go down soon spread to the clan's mansion, and shortly after the emperor and his concubine drove to the observation building, the cell door of the clan's mansion opened again, and several ragged and disheveled prisoners were thrown into Jingli the prison cell.

Several people got up from the ground without saying a word, glanced at Jing Li who was leaning against the corner, and each found a place to sit on the ground without talking to each other.

Seemingly no different from the prisoners around him, negative, decadent, desperate, counting the days to die.

In the dark, Jing Li's closed eyelids moved, and his body tensed up instantly, raising his guard.

Opening his eyes slightly, he glanced around unobtrusively, watching the movement of several people in his eyes.

It looked the same at first glance, but he felt extremely dangerous, especially when the first person looked at him alone, he felt the other party's probing and murderous intent.

He has always had a keen sense of danger, and after practicing martial arts with Jun Xian, that feeling became even stronger.

There were a total of five people who came in, all of different heights, all of them were grown men, their complexion was pale and unhealthy due to the sickness caused by long-term detention.

If it were another person, they would definitely not be able to detect the killing intent hidden under their appearance.

Quietly, Jing Li touched his waist.

The pills he could take the day before yesterday have been taken, and he has been relying on the medicine to support himself, and now he has been hungry for two consecutive days, his body has reached its limit, even if he raises his hand to touch the brocade bag now, it will exhaust all the strength in his whole body.

If these five people attack him, he can be said to be powerless to fight back and let others slaughter him.

That was not the situation he wanted.

Today is Lantern Festival, the emperor and empress must go to the viewing tower, these people were let in at this time, obviously the people behind it chose to kill him tonight.

At this time, these people did not act immediately, they were just waiting for the most suitable time and waiting for the opportunity to move.

If he didn't want to die, he could only strike first.

Two fingers had reached into the brocade bag and pinched a pill.

Jing Li lowered his eyes, covering the dark light flowing in his eyes.
