Jade of Rebirth

Chapter 189 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

Yu Li waited for a long time, but what he waited for was the news that Emperor Zhang Wu and the Queen Mother were under house arrest.

"How could it be? Even the Queen Mother is under house arrest?" Yu Li stood up excitedly, her eyebrows frowned, and she firmly grasped the corner of the case with one hand, "Yuan Ying is too daring and lawless. Is it? Usually, if the father makes a mistake, if there is any decision, they will twitter and twitter, and they will say "eating the king's salary, loyalty to the king", but now it's really critical, where are they all going!"

Seeing that he was excited, Bi Sheng stepped forward to support him: "Princess, don't be too excited..."

Yuli took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked Wu Yeti, "Huh? How did the civil and military officials react? Don't they know what happened in the palace?"

Wu Yeti had been busy for a day and a night, and he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, but he still cheered up and said: "My subordinates have inquired in the capital, and now the entire capital city is under martial law, there are soldiers at the gate of the capital city Strictly guarded, only allowed to enter and not allowed to go out... Civil and military officials must have received the news, but due to the turbulent situation, they dare not speak... Several officials went to see His Majesty this morning, but they were injured. People carried it home, so that no one dared to speak."

"Where are the princes?" Prince Qing, Prince Duan and Prince Ding, these people just watched their nephew's rebellion fail?

"There's no response, they're probably just waiting and watching..."

Hearing this, Yuli sneered, thinking, that's right, anyway, no matter which prince proclaims the emperor, it must have no effect on them, especially King Qing, who originally supported Jingwang Yuanmin, but now Yuanmin's fate is dismal, he Naturally, he had to curry favor with the next new emperor, and now that Yuanying was coming aggressively, a person like King Qing who was used to judging the situation would definitely not rush to confront Yuanying.

It seems that it is impossible to count on these people. He has to find a way to find opportunities by himself.

He said to Wu Yeti: "Wu Yeti, you go down to rest first, and you go tell Shui Yunyou and Su Muzhe to contact the people Yuanheng usually hides in the other courtyard, and see how many people you can contact in a short time , at midnight tonight, go to the palace to find out: first, where is Yuan Heng imprisoned, and what is it like now. Second, how is the layout of the palace, and see if we can find a chance to assassinate Yuan Ying."

"Yes!"

After Wu Yeti retreated, Yuli asked Bisheng to grind the ink, laid out the letterhead by herself, thought about the content, and was just about to start writing, when she heard a report from outside that the person from the front office of the palace had come.

Yu Li was startled, and with a shake of his hand, a drop of ink licked on the wolf hair fell down, leaving an ink stain on the plain letter paper.He looked at the plain white letterhead, feeling vaguely ominous in his heart, and was about to ask Bisheng to change one, when he heard footsteps walking into his room:

"Li'er, I'm here to see you."

Looking up, I saw Yuqing wearing an official uniform, standing not far away, followed by two imperial guards, one of whom was holding a wooden box with two hands square.

"It's you." Yu Li stood up slowly, looking at him with resentment in his eyes, "Brother Yu, did you help Yuanying put the father and queen under house arrest? Did you control the entire palace and martial law in the capital?" , do you know what you are doing? You are treasonous and immoral, it is a capital crime! You are helping the evildoers, Brother Yu, there is still time to turn around now..."

Hearing this, Yuqing smiled slightly, and the coldness in his eyes made people shudder: "So what? If I hadn't written to you, but you didn't even reply to me, why would I choose to take the risk? I don't know What a big treason, I only know that as long as I gain power, as long as I let Yuan Heng fall from the clouds, I can get you! Turn back? I can't turn back... Lier, in order to get you, I can do anything, It doesn't matter if you become a demon."

After hearing this, Yuli felt chills all over her body... Yuqing really went crazy!

"Li'er, it would be great for you to marry me, why would you marry Yuan Heng?" Yuqing looked straight at Yuli, his eyes were a little frighteningly affectionate, "You just like him to be powerful, right? It doesn't matter, when the new emperor ascends the throne, I will be the Great General to Protect the Country, or it's okay to have a king with a different surname, Li Er, when the time comes, you will be my princess, okay?"

As he spoke, he was about to step forward, but Bisheng at the side had quick eyes and quick hands, hurriedly stepped forward to protect Yuli behind him, and said righteously:

"General Yu, please respect yourself, otherwise, the servants will invite guards to come in!"

Yu Li also took a step back, subconsciously protecting her lower abdomen with one hand, and said: "Yuqing, be more sober, I have always regarded you as my elder brother, and I have never had an affair with a man and a woman. I married Yuan Heng, and it was not because I was greedy. His power and emotional matters cannot be decided by himself, even if you become the emperor and become the richest imperial businessman in the whole Daqi, I will not like you!"

Hearing this, Yuqing stopped in her tracks, but burst out laughing, as if hearing some funny joke, laughed for a while, and then said: "You like Yuanheng? Well, he's dead, I See how you still like him!"

As he spoke, he waved to a soldier behind him, and saw that soldier come forward and put the wooden box in his hand on the table in front of Yuli.

Yuqing glanced at it, the corners of her eyes were full of pride and cruelty: "Open it."

"Yes!" The soldier obeyed and opened the box.

Yuli glanced into the box suspiciously, but this glance made him startled, the hairs all over his body stood on end, as if the sky and the earth had changed color in an instant...

In that box was... Yuan Heng's head!

Bisheng screamed "ah", and attracted the guards in the mansion, all the guards rushed in, but Yu Li didn't seem to hear such a big movement, he seemed to be unbelievable, and seemed to be shocked Pole, staring blankly at the wooden box, walked forward step by step.

"Princess, don't look at it!" Bisheng exclaimed sadly, trying to step forward to hold him, but he threw him away.

Everyone looked at him in shock.

I saw Yuli walking slowly to the front of the case, stepping forward with trembling hands, as if he wanted to touch the head in the box, but when he was about to touch it, he paused, his eyes were moist, and even his lips were trembling , as if not daring or willing to touch... Finally, he stretched out his finger and touched the forehead of that head lightly. The cold touch made him tremble like he woke up suddenly. Holding the wooden box in his arms, like a lone wolf, he screamed in despair:

"Yuanheng...!"
