I made the villain right.
Chapter 109: Xu Silently Enters the Palace
The palace was heavily guarded, with imperial guards and royal guards patrolling everywhere, which was very unusual compared to the past. In particular, a group of imperial guards were standing outside His Majesty's bedroom, guarding strictly and monitoring every move.
There was a strong smell of medicine in His Majesty's bedroom.
His Majesty was lying on the sickbed, looking pale and haggard, his face distorted by pain, and he was about to die.
Since Qin Yixian knew that he had the intention to resist, he had been secretly poisoning him over the years. In the past, he had used poison to fight poison to control the toxins in his body, but someone had put something else in the bowl of porridge he ate yesterday, which instantly disrupted his previous balance and caused him to suddenly suffer from the poison.
The eunuch kneeling beside the bed saw that His Majesty looked like he was suffering from illness, with tears in his eyes and a look of heartache. He couldn't bear it and said, "Your Majesty was fine the day before yesterday, how come you suddenly fell ill yesterday? I'm calling the imperial physician to you."
The eunuch was about to get up, but was stopped by His Majesty: "Don't go, it's useless. Qin Yixian has been secretly poisoning me over the years... A lot of toxins have accumulated in my body... Now my body is full of holes and I am afraid I won't live for many days."
His Majesty's voice was weak, he was breathing heavily, and it was difficult for him to utter a longer sentence.
Xiao Liuzi had been with His Majesty since he was a child and had served him for many years. Seeing how desperate and miserable he was, he choked up and said, "Your Majesty, how could you say such unlucky words? Take them back immediately. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and has the blessing of God. You will surely survive this disaster safely."
People only pray to God when they are hopeless, but he had already prepared himself to die, and his heart was calm at this moment.
His Majesty did not speak but looked at the roof. Suddenly he was distracted and looked back on his life.
His name was Xuzhou. Before he ascended the throne, he was an idle prince who yearned for freedom and had no intention of fighting for power. However, he had a powerful and ambitious father-in-law, Qin Yixian, so Qin Yixian always looked down on his non-confrontational appearance.
Until an accident changed his fate. His brother and father passed away one after another. For a time, he was pushed to the throne by Qin Yixian and became a puppet emperor.
Everyone says that he is lucky because he has a powerful father-in-law, which allowed him to ascend the throne, but he thinks it is a nightmare. In fact, no one knows how painful and depressed his life has been over the years. He should have longed for the vast sky like a bird, but he was trapped in this golden cage with broken wings. He lives a seemingly magnificent life, but in fact it is a dark life.
Originally, he thought that he would just pass by numbly, but suddenly one day he gained new hope and ideas. In order to get rid of his control, he was full of anger and he resisted. At first, there was not much splash, but fortunately, after years of hard work, there was some improvement. He got some military power from Qin Yixian, so he cultivated a force that could compete with Qin Yixian - the General's Mansion.
How could a person who raises puppets keep a puppet that is out of his control? Seeing that he was gradually getting out of his control, Qin Yixian secretly poisoned him. Although he was on guard against it on weekdays, he still couldn't escape.
Yesterday, Qin Yixian not only threatened him to order the arrest of Shi's father and son, but also sent a large number of troops to monitor everything in the palace. In fact, he just wanted to get rid of this puppet of his.
But he still had important things to do before he ended it.
His Majesty came back to his senses and told Xiao Liuzi, "Xiao Liuzi, please help me call Eunuch Hong."
"Yes." Xiao Liuqi ran out hurriedly.
Soon after, Xiao Liuzi came over with Eunuch Hong. When Eunuch Hong saw him, he immediately knelt down and asked, "What do you want me to do, Your Majesty?"
When he saw Eunuch Hong, he struggled to get up, which frightened Xiao Liuzi and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is weak now, so you should stay in bed. Just ask Xiao Liuzi if you need anything."
He ignored Xiao Liuzi's words and got up from the bed weakly. Xiao Liuzi came forward to support him, so he ordered Xiao Liuzi: "Pick up this quilt... then open a secret compartment under the bed... take out the imperial edict and a letter inside."
After hearing this, Xiao Liuzi quickly opened the secret compartment and took out the imperial edict inside according to his instructions. He immediately took the imperial edict and the letter, walked a few steps to Eunuch Hong and stared at him.
"Eunuch Hong, I have a very important mission for you. You must sneak out of the palace and deliver this imperial edict and letter to Feng Nanyi at the residence of the Second Prince. Remember not to let anyone discover your whereabouts."
Eunuch Hong met his gaze with a firm look: "Even if it costs me my life, I will deliver the things safely."
At this time, Xiao Liuzi, who was standing by, heard the crime and said, "Now both inside and outside the palace are heavily guarded, with imperial guards and imperial guards everywhere. People in the palace can't leave, and people outside the palace can't come in. How can Eunuch Hong escape?"
He looked in the direction of the antique display shelf, his eyes twinkling: "I have a way. I have a secret passage here that leads directly to a small courtyard on West Street. You can go out through the secret passage. The switch of the secret passage is the green vase on the shelf. Just twist it to open it," he said, pointing to the vase on the antique display shelf.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hong immediately stood up, walked to the shelf and twisted the green bottle, only to see a secret door suddenly opened behind a wall.
When they were about to part, Eunuch Hong looked at him reluctantly, with a farewell look in his eyes. Suddenly he knelt down, kowtowed to him with tears in his eyes, and then left through the secret passage.
At this time, on the other side, Xu Wusheng rode his bike to the palace gate. Seeing that there was an interception gate set up by the imperial guards, he hurriedly pulled the rope to stop the horse.
Xu Wusheng frowned, his eyes full of displeasure: "I have something important to do in the palace, please let me in."
The leading imperial guard did not give Xu Wusheng any face at all. Hearing this, he did not even blink an eye and coldly refused, "Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace without an imperial decree."
After hearing the news, Xu Wusheng showed anger on his face, and quickly turned over and dismounted, staring at the imperial guard who was speaking with sharp eyes, with a strong murderous aura around him: "I must want to enter the palace today, and anyone who blocks me will die." After saying this, he instantly drew the sword on his horse and pointed the sword at the imperial guards.
Upon seeing this, the imperial guards immediately drew their swords, their eyes full of defensiveness, and said in a warning tone: "Fourth Prince, are you planning a rebellion? If so, don't blame us for being rude to you."
Xu Wusheng heard the tone of his voice and instantly became furious: "I think you are the ones who are plotting rebellion."
After finishing his words, he swung the sword in his hand and suddenly stabbed at a guard. His move was quick, accurate and ruthless. The guard staggered and dodged, but he swung his sword flexibly and cut the guard's arm. The rest of the guards raised their swords to attack him, but he dodged them all.
When the battle was in full swing, a carriage suddenly stopped not far from the palace gate. The body of the carriage was golden yellow. There was no other carriage like it in this dynasty. No one else except Qin Yixian dared to use the same color as Your Majesty.
The person driving the car was a woman with a calm temperament and a cold face dressed in green. This woman was the right-hand man of Wuji Sect, named Leng Yue, who had just followed Qin Yixian to Kyoto City.
Seeing this, he turned sideways and said to the people in the carriage: "Master, it's the Fourth Prince and the Imperial Guards fighting outside."
"Drive the carriage over here," a deep voice came from the carriage.
"Yes," Leng Yue said, driving the carriage over and stopping by the side of the road.
After a while, Qin Yixian calmly got off the carriage. When everyone saw that it was Qin Yixian, they suddenly stopped fighting. The imperial guards immediately greeted him with a servile look: "Prime Minister Qin!"
Qin Yixian did not respond to them, but looked at Xu Wusheng who was fighting to the death, with mockery flashing in his eyes, and then said in a persuasive tone: "This is the will of His Majesty. Why is the Fourth Prince making such a fuss? If the imperial guards accidentally hurt you, it will be more trouble than gain."
The Imperial Guards are under the command of Qin Yixian. How could they appear here without his order? Even a fool can tell who gave the order.
Xu Wusheng was furious, his eyes widened: "Whether it was the order of His Majesty or Prime Minister Qin, it is obvious, why bother to act like this?"
Qin Yixian didn't bother with a junior like Xu Wusheng. He just stared at him coldly and said majestically, "Your Majesty's will is mine."
Xu Wusheng felt like vomiting when she saw his shameless look. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and veins on her hands bulged.
After a while, Xu Wusheng's expression gradually calmed down. If he forced his way in, not only would he not be able to get in, but Qin Yixian would also convict him for this. Now he could only go back and think of other ways to enter the palace.
Thinking of this, he slowly unclenched his fists, put away his sword, mounted his horse, and rode away.
Qin Yixian looked at his departing back, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes. He thought that if Xu Wusheng used force again, he could convict him and trap him for a while, but he left.
Qin Yixian thought that this was a critical period and that there was no room for carelessness, so he immediately told Leng Yue: "Send our people to keep a close eye on him and don't let him do anything bad."
"Yes"
So they got back in the carriage and entered the palace. No one dared to stop them on the way. They had a smooth journey, regardless of wind or rain.
