The sudden reversal also caught Chu Zhao by surprise. She really didn't expect that a well-designed killing game would actually capsize here.

She thought that today was the first time she saw Wu Yunji. In fact, Wu Yunji had already quietly arrived in Yunzhou, and the day before yesterday he had pretended to be Magistrate Su to have the first round of confrontation with her.

Looking back now, she felt that Magistrate Su's eyes were big, bright and piercing, unlike what a civil servant in his 50s or [-]s should have.

It's just that she has never met Magistrate Su before, so it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.

Moreover, Murong Xiao had been hiding behind the screen and peeking, but Murong Xiao didn't notice anything strange, so she didn't think about it elsewhere.

No wonder she saw the eldest prince for the first time outside Zhenyunguan in the morning. She felt that he was right in every aspect, but he lacked a bit of the domineering look of a king. It turned out that he was the real Magistrate Su.

Chu Zhao stabilized his mind and praised Wu Yunji without hesitation: "The eldest prince is really good at planning. This move of building a plank road openly and secretly using Chen Cang is so wonderful. I must have spent a lot of time studying our Han people's art of war, right?"

Wu Yunji heard what she said and knew that she had guessed the truth. He laughed twice and said: "To each other, there is a knife hidden in the princess's smile. It is also very good to capture the thief and the king. If I hadn't exchanged identities with Magistrate Su in advance, this time The soul was already dead by your sword."

"You dare to hold Princess Jingnan hostage, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to die?" Murong Xiao had come to his senses at this time, pointed at him and said sternly, "If you know what is going on, let the princess go quickly. Maybe I can Spare your life."

"No, you can't let her go!" Su Nuanyu picked up the Zhaoxi Sword and handed it to Wu Yunji with a cry, "Your Highness, this bitch killed my father, you can't let her go no matter what."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Wu Yunji took the sword and placed it on Chu Zhao's neck, "The prince is really good at joking. The princess is the bargaining chip for us to leave Yunzhou safely. How can I be willing to let her go now."

Murong Xiao was angry and anxious, with veins popping up on his forehead, but because Chu Zhao was in his hand, he didn't dare to act rashly. In desperation, he directed his attention to Su Nuanyu.

"Nuan Yu, you are my king's concubine, why do you want to help outsiders plot against me?"

Su Nuanyu smiled sadly and said with red eyes: "It's already this time. Do you still want to pretend, Your Majesty? I'm afraid you already know the identities of me and my father, right?"

Murong Xiao was not embarrassed when she exposed him. He looked as usual and said: "Ever since your father wanted to give you to me as a concubine and promised to help me contact the eldest prince, I knew that he had something fishy, ​​but I didn't Don’t know his true identity.”

"Then why did you still agree to let me into the house and dote on me in every possible way?"

Su Nuanyu looked at him, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.

She still remembers that on the day they first met, Murong Xiao was attracted by her beauty at first sight, fell in love with her so much that he was so intoxicated that he promised her father on the spot to marry her into the palace as a concubine.

He also said that if she had not been engaged to the ugly daughter of the Chu family, the position of Princess Jingnan would have to be hers.

He said that he didn't want to marry Chu Zhao at all, but he just saved Chu Zhao's life from bandits out of kindness, so he was entangled by Chu Zhao and insisted on marrying him.

Now it seems that he never told her a word of truth from the beginning to the end. Those countless nights of love and affection were unclear how true or false they were.

Looking at Su Nuanyu's tearful face, Murong Xiao's eyes averted for a moment.

Although Su Nuanyu often cried in front of him, most of the time she was just acting out. He felt distressed on the surface, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

At this moment, he finally felt the inner sadness from her tears, but their relationship also came to an end.

"The reason why I let you enter the palace is to make your father believe that I trust him." Murong Xiao sighed, "King Wusul is still evil and is eyeing our southwest border. I am worried that they will take advantage of my departure from Yunnan. The state has made a comeback and has been looking for ways to suppress them.

Your father and the king said that they could help contact the eldest prince, so the king decided to use the trick to lure the eldest prince to the palace and imprison him, so as to frighten King Usul and make him use the rat weapon to avoid invading our border easily, so …”

He paused, raised his eyes and looked at Su Nuanyu, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.

Su Nuanyu suddenly realized, and before he could speak again, he continued: "I understand, I am just a chess piece, used to confuse my father and the eldest prince."

"If you want to say that, are you not a pawn used by your father and the eldest prince to confuse the prince?" Chu Zhao said calmly from the side.

Su Nuanyu had just been complaining to Murong Xiao, but when she heard her voice, she immediately gritted her teeth with hatred: "Shut up, I don't want to listen to you. If you hadn't disrupted my plan again and again, I would have She is already Princess Jingnan.”

"Then what?" Chu Zhao said, "When you become Princess Jingnan, will you help the prince deal with Wusul, or will you continue to help Wusul deal with the prince?"

"I..." Su Nuanyu choked for a moment and then said plausibly, "As long as the prince listens to me and doesn't fight against the prince, we can be stable for the rest of our lives."

"Oh, I said for a long time that I wanted the prince to be the puppet of King Wusuer." Chu Zhao clicked his tongue twice, "You guys are really good at calculating."

Su Nuanyu became angry and pointed at her and shouted: "So what, at least I really love the prince. What about you? You only have plans for the prince. How can you have any love for him?"

"..." Chu Zhao was speechless and turned to glance at Murong Xiao, "He doesn't care about me either. He almost sent me to see the King of Hell."

"..." Murong Xiao looked slightly embarrassed and said awkwardly, "You guys are quarreling with me, so don't take me with you."

He put a fist on his lips and coughed twice.

Everyone thought he was hiding his embarrassment. Only Beiyuan understood and silently raised his right hand.

Just a few soft "whoosh" sounds were heard, and several hidden arrows were shot from the curtain behind Wu Yunji and eight personal guards.

Wu Yunji was shocked when he heard the sound of breaking through the air. He swung his sword to block it without looking back. At the same time, he grabbed Chu Zhao and jumped into the air, hiding directly behind Murong Xiao.

The arrow was aimed at them, and the safest place was naturally behind Murong Xiao. Anyway, he had the princess in his hands, so he was not afraid that Murong Xiao would intercept and kill her.

However, as soon as he had this thought, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his thigh, and Chu Zhao pricked his flesh with the golden needle hidden in his sleeve.

"Woman, how dare you plot against me." Wu Yunji was furious, and after landing, he placed the Zhaoxi sword on Chu Zhao's neck again.

Chu Zhao smiled calmly at him: "The needle is poisonous, and I am the only one who can cure it."

Wu Yunji's eyes widened immediately, and he swung his sword to cut off the piece of flesh without thinking.

His thigh immediately started bleeding profusely, but he didn't even frown and sneered: "It is indeed a good sword."
