My husband is a traitor

Chapter 459 Entering Beijing, Assassination
Outside Lin'an City.

"Your Majesty, we're almost here." The envoy's eyes were black and blue, and he bowed his head in awe and stood outside the carriage, his voice contained a bit of joy that he didn't realize.

It can be counted as Lin'an City in the Northland!
Along the way, the emperor rushed day and night, and several horses ran to death. The accompanying officials and guards couldn't bear it, but the emperor insisted on hurrying.

It seems that the emperor is bound to win this trip to the north.

Even if there are complaints in their hearts, the officials dare not speak out.

Rong Jue stretched out a hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, his eyes were slightly lowered after the camouflage, reflecting the towering city gate in front of him, his eyes were dim.

Finally, I'm back here.

"Go into the city." He put down the curtains of the car, hiding the complex emotions that flashed in his eyes, and ordered.

The accompanying officials hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and asked for instructions, "Your Majesty... I'm afraid it's not right to go directly to the city and enter the Northern Palace..."

After all, this is within the territory of the Northern Kingdom. The emperor dared to go deep into the tiger's den with this small team. I really don't know whether to call him brave or stupid.

"Go to the post house first." Rong Jue patiently explained a few more words.

Ximen Han's officials are also quite stupid.

In front of the city gate, he was stopped.

When An Yi showed the token symbolizing Ximen Han's identity, the city guards were quite embarrassed, unable to make decisions for a while, and immediately sent someone to the palace to deliver a message.

"Ximenhan?" The imperial physician was changing the medicine on Qi Rui's hand. After hearing this, his complexion darkened a little, his eyes flickered with murderous intent, and after a little thought, he said, "Order the prime minister to settle them down, and they will be in the post for the time being." Stay in the hotel."

When Zhu Jinsong heard that the emperor of the Western Kingdom had arrived outside the city of Lin'an, and the emperor ordered him to greet him immediately, he couldn't help but be surprised. This Ximenhan came from the Western Kingdom to the Northern Kingdom without a sound, and he was already outside the city gate!

Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, worried that Ximenhan's visitor was not kind this time, but he also kept in mind that he was welcoming the envoy at this time, so he hurriedly changed into his official uniform, put on his official hat, and rode to the city gate to meet him.

"The new prime minister of the Northern Kingdom?" An Yi and An Er, who were pretending to be ordinary attendants, raised the curtain to reveal Rong Jue's thin "Ximen Han" chin. The unique deep meaning words and sentences of watching the excitement.

Zhu Jinsong could hear the malice in his words, but at least he was the prime minister of a country. Of course, he bowed his hands without changing his face, and spoke modestly, "It is the official. The Lord of the West came from a long way, and the emperor specially ordered the official to come. Welcome to the post house."

"Stop rambling, let's go." With a cynical and mocking tone, Rong Jue disguised Ximenhan perfectly.

Zhu Jinsong knew that Ximen Han had a strange temper, so in order to avoid getting angry, he chose not to speak too much.

When they arrived at the post house with the team of "Ximen Han", there was already a team of imperial guards guarding the post house.

Rong Jue twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Qi Rui wants to be placed under house arrest?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the expressionless and extraordinary guards, his brows and eyes were slightly raised, and there was a slight sarcasm.

Zhu Jinsong frowned slightly, but his face remained calm and calm, and he cupped his hands, "The Western Emperor was joking, and my emperor is also concerned about your majesty's safety, so he sent someone to protect you."

Rong Jue shook his purple clothes, snorted softly when he heard the words, and said lazily and critically, "Okay, you can speak for Qi Rui and lead the way. I'm tired, I need to take a bath and change clothes to rest .”

"Yes. Please, Your Majesty." Zhu Jinsong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, wishing that the master would go in quickly and not come out to choke others, he made a gesture of welcoming guests with one hand, and brought Rong Jue into the post house.

Outside the post house, the common people couldn't help but stop and discuss when they saw the formation, but the iron-blooded and majestic existence of the imperial guards made them dare not speak loudly.

After Zhu Jinsong completed the task of welcoming Ximen Han, he went to the palace to meet Qi Rui.

"How, what's the difference?" Qi Rui's hands were wounded, although he was in the imperial study, it was rare that he didn't review the memorial, but there was a book in front of him, and he occasionally turned a page with his fingers.

He asked without raising his eyebrows.

"Reporting to the emperor, the old minister has negotiated with that Ximenhan, and he has not found anything unusual." Zhu Jinsong recalled, but did not find anything suspicious, and said, "Then next..."

"Next," Qi Rui rested his fingers on a few words on a certain page of the book of war, and there were four words "cut grass and roots", and he snorted softly, "I will deal with it myself."

The implication is that Zhu Jinsong is not required to participate.

Zhu Jinsong was slightly taken aback, then cupped his hands, respectfully, "The minister will retire first."

"Wait." Qi Rui closed the book, and suddenly remembered something, "How are the preparations for the empress appointment going? On the day of Qin Tianjian, you also urged me. You have chosen an auspicious day, but there has been no reply."

He didn't raise his head and say so much about Ximenhan's matter, but because of Qin Tianjian's order to choose an auspicious day, Zhu Jinsong's worry about Jiang Linlang's status came to his heart again.

But on the surface, he didn't dare to reveal what was going on in his heart. We all know how much the emperor cared about Princess Nan'an.He doesn't have to be fussy.

"Yes. The old minister will do it now."

This is also the reason why Qi Rui reused Zhu Jinsong, he nodded, his complexion became a little warmer.

That night.

"emperor."

"Is everything arranged?"

Xuan Huang appeared behind Qi Rui in night clothes like a ghost, heard the words and replied, "It's all arranged according to your wishes. It's just——why does the emperor want to go in person?"

Isn't it troublesome to expose your identity like this?
Qi Rui pulled up his hood, covering most of his forehead, his eyes were particularly bright and amazing in the dark night.

"It's hard to feel at ease if you don't watch him die in person."

After the words fell, he raised his hand, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Outside the post house.A few men in black on the roof jumped from the trees not far away, stepped on the bricks and tiles, stooped, and slowly moved towards the post house.

According to what the spies reported, Ximen Han really took a bath and rested early, only the lights in the few rooms remained, indicating that there were still followers in twos and threes who did not fall asleep.

Qi Rui landed lightly, took a few steps forward, raised his hand slightly, and ordered his men to stop ten feet away from Ximen Han's house.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the man in black behind him held his bow and set his arrows, waiting for his master's order at any time, and with a single order, he could shoot the people in the room into sieves.

"Shoot the arrow—"

Qi Rui swung his hand down cleanly, and the shadow guard behind him ordered to release arrows, and immediately they fired several arrows, piercing through the doors and windows, and shooting into the room.

There seemed to be screams from inside, and then there was movement in the room next to him. Ximen Han's accompanying guards and officials came out after hearing the news, and just after they came out, they were pierced through the heart by an arrow.

Pointing at Qi Rui, he collapsed in shock.
