The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Cui Hao woke up. Although his face was wrapped in gauze like a big white bun, his eyes were still fine. When he saw Jixiang coming in, he became a little excited.

Jixiang gestured for him to calm down as much as possible: "You have too many wounds on your body now, try not to use too much force, so as not to tear the wounds, I will have to bandage you again."

A few words came out of Cui Hao's throat, "Thank you, my lady."

"Who beat you so badly?" Jixiang asked.

Cui Hao's eyes were gleaming with anger, as if he wanted to burn to death the person who had injured him.

"My lady, it's King Qiong's people."

"King Qiong's men?" Jixiang was surprised. "His men have also come to Beijing? How many people are there? Where are they now?"

Cui Hao moved his head slightly. "I don't know either. But the leader said that it was because I didn't keep my mouth shut that King Qiong had to take action against me."

"Then do you have any secrets of King Qiong that you haven't told me?" Jixiang looked at Cui Hao's face, where only his eyes were intact, and wondered something in his mind.

Cui Hao, who had been immersed in the imperial palace for many years and had controlled the army in the northwest for ten years, naturally knew what Jixiang was thinking.

He quickly said, "My queen, I have told you everything about King Qiong, and I have nothing to hide. I think King Qiong sent people to kill me because he knew that I told you about his control of the northwest."

"But even if you don't say it, this matter will be known sooner or later. Why should King Qiong do this?"

After hearing what Jixiang said, Cui Hao also became hesitant.

"But why did those people insist on telling me that it was King Qiong who told me to shut up? Could it be?" His eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"My queen, I'm afraid someone else has come to the capital!"

Jixiang laughed, "Lord Cui is indeed a smart man! That's right, someone has come to the capital, and it is Tuoba Hong, the envoy of Jie State."

"Tuoba Hong?" Cui Hao paused for a moment and looked at Jixiang. "My queen, I know who wants to kill me. It's Tuoba Hong!"

"Why did he want to hurt you?"

"Because they have close private contacts with King Qiong!"

Jixiang didn't say anything, just looked at Cui Hao, waiting for him to continue.

Cui Hao did not stop talking and continued, "This Tuoba Hong is the third prince of the Jie Kingdom and the most ambitious person in the royal family. A few years ago, he launched a coup and wanted to seize the throne, but was countered by the prince's people, so the plan failed."

"But because of this incident, his position in the court was obviously not as good as before. He was even robbed of his troops and territory by the crown prince's party, and became an idle prince."

"It was at that time that he met King Qiong."

Jixiang probably understood, "So, he wants to use the power of King Qiong to take back everything he has in Jie Kingdom?"

"Yes, his so-called envoy identity when he came to Beijing this time is probably fake." Cui Hao reminded.

Jixiang understood in his heart, "Lord Cui, take good care of your injuries. If you have any problems, feel free to call the doctor in the Xuanyi Pavilion." After saying this, he left without waiting for Cui Hao's response.

Since Tuoba Hong was sent by King Qiong, his original intention was probably to extort a sum of food and salt from them, and secondly, to make Jixiang and Tian Muyu fearful of the northwest and not dare to mobilize troops easily. In this way, Tian Muqiong would have more time to prepare, and would have a greater chance of counterattacking and entering Beijing in the future.

After Jixiang returned to the palace, he immediately wrote a letter to Maodan to report the situation and asked him to send it to the northwest.

She herself went straight to the prison.

When Tuoba Hong saw Jixiang coming over in person, he thought she was afraid, and even looked at Jixiang arrogantly, "Are you afraid now? It's not too late to be afraid now. If you wait until my Jie army forces its way to your northwest border, your northwest will be in danger."

"Tuoba Hong, your emperor probably doesn't know that you came to my capital, right?" Jixiang said to Tuoba Hong.

Tuoba Hong was startled, then immediately said, "How could my father not know? He was the one who sent me to negotiate with you."

"Oh," Jixiang said, still looking at Tuoba Hong quietly.

Tuoba Hong felt a little frightened by Jixiang's gaze, and he tried hard to maintain his composure.

"Let me out immediately! Otherwise, my army will definitely send troops!"

Jixiang suddenly laughed: "I want to see what the emperor of Ji Kingdom would do to our Great Saint Dynasty if he knew you were here. No, we will not tell your emperor about this, but we should tell the prince."

Tuoba Hong shuddered, and Jixiang saw it.

As expected, Tuoba Hong came to the capital without telling the Crown Prince. I'm afraid the Crown Prince of Ji State doesn't even know about his affair with Tian Muqiong.

It’s just right. Once this matter is passed on, Tian Muyu’s pressure will be relieved.

After thinking about it, Jixiang came up with an idea and turned to walk out.

Seeing that Jixiang no longer paid attention to him, Tuoba Hong panicked for a moment: "Your Majesty, let's talk again. I can reduce the amount of grain and salt by half."

Jixiang didn't stop, nor did he look back.

"I, I can just take 10%!" Tuoba Hong said again.

Jixiang still ignored him.

Tuoba Hong was really panicking now. He had indeed come to the Great Saint Dynasty secretly without telling his father and the crown prince. He came to the capital this time as a spy for Tian Muqiong, in order to find out the attitude of the Great Saint Dynasty royal family towards Tian Muqiong. At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to steal a batch of grain and salt from the Great Saint Dynasty.

However, he did not expect that the new emperor had already led his troops to the northwest border. He thought that with only the queen in the capital, there would be no twists and turns. However, the result was this, which really gave him a headache. Not only could he not get food and salt, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.

"My queen, I don't want anything, just let me out!" Tuoba Hong finally shouted when Jixiang was about to be transferred out of the prison and disappeared.

The footsteps finally stopped, and Jixiang turned around to look at Tuoba Hong who was looking at her intently.

"I also want to know the purpose of King Qiong sending you to the capital."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!" Tuoba Hong said hurriedly. He knew that if he insisted, the queen in front of him would really kill him. After all, he left the Kingdom of Qi secretly, and his father was not aware of it. If he died quietly in the prison of the Great Saint Dynasty, he was afraid that no one would ever avenge him.

Tuoba Hong reappeared in front of him and told him everything.

That’s right, he did have a purpose for coming to the capital this time, and it was Tian Muqiong who asked him to come.

"Is it also your mission to kill Cui Hao?" Jixiang asked.

"Yes, yes. Prince Qiong took away Cui Hao's troops, and Cui Hao has always been unwilling to accept this. So when Cui Hao came to the capital, Prince Qiong knew that he would definitely betray him, so he sent me to follow him and find a chance to get rid of him. But Cui Hao, this old guy, is like an old fox, very alert, and we didn't have a chance to kill him along the way."

"But you're already in the dungeon, why would you go and assassinate Cui Hao? I'm afraid the people you brought with you are not just the ones around you, there are also some hiding in the market outside, right?"

Tuoba Hong hesitated for a moment, "Yes, there are more than 40 people outside."

"Where are they hiding?"

Tuoba Hong knew that those people were not his people, but were arranged by King Qiong to be around him. So, he decided to hand them over, and he didn't feel bad about it.

"In a house on Chunxi Street."

Jixiang gave a wink to the guard Li beside him, and Guard Li immediately turned around and left.
