Emperor Jin

Chapter 66 Conspiracy
He Yuan knelt down on the lapis lazuli tile floor, hearing the queen's praise, his heart felt even more anxious, and he replied humbly: "I can't wait to do my best to repay your mother's love."

"Although there was a side issue this time, it's a matter of course."

The queen smiled, blowing away the fragrance of the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's better to drink Liu'an tea, which is astringent and refreshing."

She glanced at He Yuan, and said again: "If you look dejected, you will lose a talent. Now that the world is peaceful, you can pay attention to the appropriate ones in this year's martial arts."

He Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling dry in his mouth, and pulled himself together and said in a low voice, "I'm still a little worried—he is now lying dead in the palace, if someone discovers some clues, it will be a disaster!"

The queen was still smiling, but her disapproval was evident. Her voice was clear and clear, as if glass was broken, "This is really unfounded—I searched my whole body carefully before I set off, and there will be nothing that can reveal my identity. If you don't tell me, who will know that this assassin in the Palace of Death is your newly selected bodyguard?!"

He Yuan could hear the displeasure in her words, and kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to speak again.

The queen glanced at him, feeling unhappy again, thinking of the results this time, but couldn't help smiling happily.

"Nantang, there are no traces, right?"

she continued to ask.

"According to the will of the empress, I sent someone to contact them in disguise - until now, this group of southerners thinks that we are the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

"That's good. Now that the evidence is solid, the emperor is really angry with them. Once the army goes south, it will be destroyed."

The queen said leisurely, thinking of all the obstacles she had encountered a while ago, she couldn't help but sneered and said: "They relied on the support of the cloud, and dared to persuade the emperor to suspend the southern expedition-now that the general situation of the world is clear, are these southerners still allowed to cross the river?" Treat it?"

She looked in the direction of the front hall, and said slowly: "Now that the sword is on the string, it has to be fired. The emperor's sacred heart is arbitrary, and the southern expedition is unstoppable."

Amid the sound of falling snow from the eaves, her voice was crisp and clear, but it brought a savage and tragic meaning, as if countless blood and blood were about to wreak havoc in this world.

"Now, the southern expedition is imperative."

Baojin sighed and came to a conclusion.

"It's the New Year's Eve, and the assassins came out. No matter how open-minded the emperor is, he can't tolerate such provocations... But, the origins of these assassins are really worth pondering."

Shen Haojing sat on the round stool, choked by the charcoal in the room, feeling very uncomfortable. Hearing this sentence, he raised his eyebrows and wondered, "Is there something strange about it?"

"I don't dare to say if it's strange or not, but I experienced it personally at the time. The scene after scene was like I experienced it myself-there was chaos in the palace at that time, and the three assassins with the strongest martial arts were not like the same people at all."

"First, to fight against the emperor, with fierce moves, body shape and voice, exactly like a eunuch - that is probably the Southern Tang Neiwei Wujian [-]st Road, another sword dancer, also a person in the Southern Tang Jianghu, but the only one who followed Those who were fighting in Yunshi seemed unwilling to help them, and only reluctantly stepped forward to save them in the end."

Bao Jin recalled thoughtfully, with glints in his eyes, he sneered decisively: "If you want to talk about assassination, but you just hang around Yun Shi's table, ignore the emperor, and in the end, you actually hold me hostage. "

She sneered even worse, remembering the bloody chaos that night, and said quietly: "When the sharp blade was resting on my neck, I felt the murderous aura seep through my skin——this man, he intends to take my life!"

The bleak moonlight cast mottled white shadows on the window. Hearing her words, Shen Hao was terrified, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"No matter how much the Southern Tang people hold grudges, they shouldn't behave in such a strange way—killing Concubine Yun Xian, Xu Yinghua, Yun Shi, and me, what good will it do them?"

Baojin stared at the flickering candlelight, and a weak sentence leaked from his red lips——

"In this harem, someone wants to take advantage of the fisherman..."

"You mean, it's the queen?!"

Shen Hao just couldn't believe it.

"It's killing three birds with one stone."

Bao Jin talked in a calm and eloquent manner, "First, it can prompt the emperor to make up his mind to make a southern expedition; second, he can take advantage of the chaos to weaken the Yun family; third, he can take my life in a grandiose manner, so the emperor resents him even more and throws his weapon at him." Under the circumstances, Nantang will be wiped out in ashes."

Hearing these words, Shen Hao felt a thorn in his back - the palace is so dangerous, Bao Jin is already the last bit of flesh and blood of the royal family, if there is a mistake, what should we do? !
"You don't have to worry about me, at least...I've improved a lot recently—not to mention, Ji Xin is with me in the palace!"

Bao Jin smiled casually, and when he mentioned his maid, a deep light flashed in his eyes.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, when the emperor received the envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty again, the thunder burst into rage, and he threw the watch on the ground, saying: "If the lord of your family does not personally apologize, he will inevitably meet with soldiers."

So there was an uproar between the government and the public, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials cheered up. Before the New Year's Day, they actually started to check the inventory, vaguely put on a posture of conquest, and the world was full of discussions. When the news spread, the courtiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were even more ashamed .

"You still need to apply ointment to your wound, don't be careless."

The emperor stroked the light red mark on Baojin's throat with his fingers, and said with pity.

"Yes……"

Bao Jin kept rubbing the ink in his hands, as if he was still in fear, he said: "These southerners are so brave and foolish, they actually use me as a bargaining chip—God, what am I worth?"

She suddenly snickered slightly, the emperor saw it, and said displeasedly: "What are you thinking again?"

"I'm thinking about that benzene thief... With such a charming empress in front of him, he can't see gold and jade, so he has to use me, a lowly servant, as a substitute!"

Bao Jin leaned over laughing, the emperor laughed too, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Queen..."

He murmured the title, as if telling Baojin, or talking to himself——

"She was also frightened..."

The voice was soft, as if carrying uncertainty. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.QIDIAN.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
