After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

The emperor didn't react before.

He seized the Night King's military power, but failed to properly handle this hot potato, so he was targeted by various forces.

He thought he had everything under control, but someone still had ambitions.

This assassination is a vivid example.

Nangong Yuan's words were full of righteous indignation, but what frightened the emperor was not how many people died.

But...someone actually covered the sky with one hand in this assassination.

This means that he is sitting on the throne with his head hanging in the air, which is unbearable for anyone.

So on the next day, the emperor suddenly ordered people to protect the Night King and used the best imperial physician to treat him, which made it obvious that he wanted to use him again.

"Your Majesty, we have finally come to an end of our suffering."

Li Jin was so happy that tears came to his eyes. His life had been too turbulent recently and his heart couldn't take it.

Hearing this, Xiao Heyun, who was lying in bed, sneered.

"It's not that easy. There are more tests to come."

Sure enough, his guess was not wrong at all.

After court that day, the emperor came to see him in person.

His Majesty Yasukuni was middle-aged, had a beard, was tall, and looked like a military-type emperor.

But this man's suspicion is even greater than that of the honeycomb briquettes.

"Father."

When Xiao Heyun saw him coming, he struggled to sit up from the bed.

"Don't move. The doctor said you are seriously injured. You need to take good care of yourself."

Before leaving, Nangong Yuan gave him a systemic medicine, which healed wounds very quickly. In order to prevent others from noticing it, she also used a concealing agent.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a disguised holy medicine. Even the imperial physician cannot see Xiao Heyun's true condition at this moment.

"It is my incompetence that has brought trouble upon my father."

The emperor sat on a soft couch nearby and asked casually, "Why are you going to Huaishan for no reason?"

"It is the day of my grandfather's death and no one is visiting his grave. I am so heartbroken that I have left the palace. I hope that the emperor will punish me."

After hearing this, the man was silent for a moment and said, "You are filial, which is naturally very good, that's right."

Xiao Heyun said, "I didn't expect to be chased by assassins on the way, and it only implicated those women."

"It's not your fault. These villains have no respect for the law. They dare to kill even the prince of the dynasty. What else are they afraid to do?"

This incident kept the emperor awake at night.

He looked at the ministers in the hall who were shouting "Long live the emperor!" and sometimes he felt that they were all here to take his life.

Although he seems so loyal, he is actually full of vicious schemes in secret. What would he not do for military power?

"Thank you, Father, for your consideration."

The emperor looked at Xiao Heyun's handsome face and thought that perhaps he shouldn't treat this child badly.

At least he has done a good job on the frontier over the years.

Unlike those powerful ministers, who took the military power and were eyeing their own throne!

Only then did the emperor remember how badly Xiao Heyun had been besieged recently.

The more miserable he was, the more the emperor feared the mastermind who wanted to seize military power, and the more he hated him!

"I'm sorry to have troubled you these days. The Night Prince's Mansion has not been repaired since it was built. I'll ask the craftsmen in the palace to repair it for you in a few days."

This was the king’s strategy of appeasement, which meant that everything that had happened before would be wiped out and he would be favored again from now on.

Xiao Heyun lowered his head slightly, making it difficult to see his expression.

"Thank you for your grace, Father. I will not let you down."

The emperor never paid much attention to this son.

He didn't care how miserable this man's life was, or how he got to this point, or the conspiracies and schemes.

But he still had to save face, so he let Xiao Heyun stay in the palace and asked his personal physician to treat him.

As for King Li, he looked ignored.

·······

"Mother, why didn't Xiao Heyun die?"

As soon as he entered the door, King Li began to question.

The queen frowned upon seeing this: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It is my fault, but I really can't sit still any longer. The Emperor has rarely seen me lately."

The Queen knew this very well. She was very annoyed, but she tried to be gentle: "The assassins who wanted to assassinate Xiao Heyun failed, and he came back alive. It was indeed a big mistake."

Prince Li clapped his hands anxiously and said, "He is now staying in the palace. Mother, it would be better for you to cut off the roots of the trouble."

"Ridiculous. If he died in the palace, wouldn't Your Majesty be even more angry?"

His son is spoiled to the extreme and sometimes does things without thinking.

"If you had completely eradicated him in the Northern Frontier, there wouldn't be any disaster today!"

The Queen held the teacup tightly and endured for a moment before she could no longer hold back. “I’ll ask you to act quickly. At least dying on the road is much better than now.”

King Li was speechless at this. Who knew that Xiao Heyun was so lucky that he wouldn't die like this.

"Mother, now is not the time to talk about this. What should we do next?"

Not only did he fail to obtain the military power, but he also lost the emperor's favor.

At this moment, King Li felt extremely regretful and hated Xiao Heyun for not dying quickly.

"We can't act rashly. The assassination case has not been fully investigated yet. His Majesty is unwilling to let it go lightly. If we act again, we will be courting death."

Recently, the emperor has sentenced a number of officials to death for assassination, some have been beheaded, some have been exiled.

Many of them were from King Li's faction, which made him feel heartbroken, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Because he feels guilty!

Many women were injured in the assassination that day. If it is found out that he was the one who did it, King Li will never be able to ascend the throne and become emperor in this life.

If a man who kills even innocent women in order to eliminate dissidents can become a king, wouldn't it be the most ridiculous thing in the world?

"But, are we just going to wait for Xiao Heyun to get up again?"

King Li was very anxious, and his expression was very ugly: "We will fight to the death with him, he will not let us go."

"Why are you in such a hurry? His legs are broken. He needs to be able to get up."

The queen curled her lips and sneered, looking extremely cruel.

Being able to stand firm in the turmoil of the harem, she is certainly not a soft-hearted person.

What she regretted was that she had allowed this kid to survive and grow up.

Now he is a disaster. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed him!

"Mother, mother, you have to find a way."

The queen glanced at him and felt that he was a hopeless case.

But I only have this one son. If I don’t support him, who else can I support?

"Okay, stop making such a fuss. I have my own plan for this matter. When you go back, clean up all those assassins and don't leave any evidence behind."

King Li nodded: "Yes, I will go now."

"Also, don't do anything recently. I need to plan this matter carefully."

Seeing this, Prince Li of course agreed readily. He was born into a noble family and was pampered all his life. The only setback he encountered was probably Xiao Heyun.

I want to kill but I can't, I want to harm but I can't.

This made King Li unable to swallow this humiliation. Xiao Heyun was like a thorn stuck in his throat.
