The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Jealousy to the bone

Not far after Hou Qiyun walked out, he saw He Songning waving to him.

"What?" Hou Qiyun didn't care about showing off as a general, strode forward, and asked with concern.

He Songning lowered his voice and said, "If General Hou wants to escape from this matter, he must carefully protect my life."

Hou Qiyun's eyelids twitched heavily.

What does this mean?

Does this imply that there are still people in the army who will kill him?

Then...who else could it be?

Hou Qiyun wanted to turn back and look in the direction of King Xuan, but he held himself back.

A turbulent wave arose in his heart... Xue Ning's words were a direct reference to Prince Xuan's ambition to kill his brothers in an attempt to fight for power!

But...but isn't Xue Ning Princess Xuan's brother?

Hou Qiyun was confused, but He Songning had no intention of elaborating with him. He walked towards the carriage with the support of two soldiers.

After a while, Fang Chengzhong came to see him and said: "Your Highness means that since Mr. Xue has been so seriously injured, someone should send him back to Zicheng to wait."

He Songning knew that King Xuan wanted to kill him immediately.

He was so stupid that he agreed to return to Zicheng.

He Songning took a breath and said with a sad look: "I am the assistant officer of the King of Wei, and I have a heavy responsibility. The King of Wei is dead, but I am still alive. I am afraid that His Majesty will blame him. I'd better go with the army and wait for His Majesty's orders at any time."

Fang Chengzhong: "..."

He couldn't pull it by force.

After all, He Songning came with King Wei, and now he was walking with Hou Qiyun and others.

If He Songning was attacked forcefully, it would appear that King Xuan had an ulterior motive.

Maybe the death of King Wei will be blamed on King Xuan.

"Then I just hope Mr. Xue's body can withstand this rapid march." Fang Chengzhong smiled and retreated.

He Songning also smiled, closed his eyes, and leaned against the inner wall of the carriage.

The carriage jolted.

The tearing pain came from the place where Xue Qingyin pressed him.

But he was sober...it hurt well. Only in this way can we remember deeply and become more determined to do what we want to do.

The doctor sent by King Xuan soon came to find He Songning, but at the same time, the doctor sent by Hou Qiyun also came.

The two doctors bumped into each other and immediately looked at each other.

The old god He Songning was there and said: "Excuse me, Your Highness King Xuan and General Hou. Since you are both here, please treat me together."

In this way, there is naturally no place to do anything.

Half an hour later, the guards came to King Xuan and reported: "Hou Qiyun also sent a doctor."

Xue Qingyin heard the voice of the personal guard at the same time and said angrily: "What a bastard! You have so many evil intentions! No wonder it has caused trouble for thousands of years!"

After she finished speaking, she said unhappily: "Why is General Hou so easily deceived?"

"As you grow older, you become timid." King Xuan said calmly.

Xue Qingyin was helpless: "I don't know when I can kill He Songning?"

"It depends on whether the emperor wants to protect him." King Xuan said lightly, but he saw the situation clearly.

Xue Qingyin frowned.

Speaking of which, the most troublesome thing is the emperor...

"It's time for me to go." King Xuan trimmed her hair, "You eat first."

Xue Qingyin nodded obediently and watched King Xuan jump off the carriage, get on the horse again, and then walked to the front of the team.

His back was tall and straight, carrying an edge.

It makes people feel at ease for no reason.

She looked down at her hand and flexed it slightly.

Empty.

She leaned against the wall of the carriage, feeling as if she was suffering from... some sort of skin hunger syndrome. It was not very comfortable to have no one to lean on for a while.

When King Xuan said he was marching in a hurry, he meant that he was marching in a hurry.

That night they captured another city.

In the evening, Xue Qingyin was sitting in the carriage and had just eaten. Adhuo and Yunduo were helping her clear the dishes and eat some too.

"Yin Yin." King Xuan's voice sounded outside the car curtain.

Then the car curtain rolled up.

King Xuan's armor-clad appearance came into her eyes, but before she could take a closer look at him to see if he was injured. King Xuan suddenly lowered the curtain again.

"Huh?" Xue Qingyin leaned forward in confusion and lifted the curtain herself.

But he saw King Xuan taking a handkerchief from Fang Chengzhong and wiping his neck first.

He raised his head.

Xue Qingyin could clearly see his Adam's apple rolling.

Rub what?

Wipe... blood?

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before!

I just stabbed myself twice with my own hands...

She rushed up and hugged King Xuan.

Then he turned his head sharply: "... ugh."

The thick smell of blood penetrated straight into his nose.

It was completely different from the blood she had smelled from He Songning before.

It was so thick that she could almost feel the sticky, moist feeling in her pores.

Xue Qingyin turned her head, looked at King Xuan with some embarrassment, and stammered: "I-I don't dislike you...it's just that I have never seen so much blood..."

King Xuan helped her wrist to help her sit up again, and then whispered: "I know."

Fang Chengzhong also consciously took two steps back at this moment, for fear of offending their princess.

"Are you dizzy sitting in the carriage?" King Xuan took a step back and asked her.

Xue Qingyin felt a little uncomfortable, why was her heart still so fragile? Can't even smell the smell of blood.

But she still sat down obediently and responded to his words: "I'm not dizzy."

"Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"Is there any pain somewhere?"

"No." She shook her head.

King Xuan's expression suddenly softened, and he said, "I'll see you later."

Xue Qingyin said softly: "Okay."

Seemingly sensing her lack of interest, he added: "The bearded man has been caught. Are you going to take a look later?"

Xue Qingyin became more energetic: "Yes."

King Xuan nodded, then turned and left.

When I saw King Xuan again later, he had already changed his clothes.

The white robe is wide and elegant, and he wears a jade crown, which makes him look completely different. As he got closer, the overwhelming aura dissipated a lot.

Xue Qingyin took a sniff and only smelled a little scent of sandalwood.

There's something soothing about it.

He came closer, but did not hug her immediately.

Seeing that her expression was normal, he reached out to pick her up from the carriage, and then went to see the bearded prisoner.

He Songning, who was sitting on another carriage not far away, stared at their departing figures intently.

There were pinpricks in his eyes.

After a long while, he lowered the car curtain heavily.

He covered his chest and laughed in a low and cold tone: "Stab me twice, it will make him love you more, right?"

The slender needle pierced deeply into his heart.

He Songning suddenly woke up and realized that he was jealous to the core.

…

Another secret letter was quickly sent back to Beijing.

The ministers were summoned to the palace again. They lowered their heads and waited for an unknown amount of time before the emperor finally arrived.

Emperor Liang De looked even more tired and haggard.

He held the chair with one hand and said: "The military situation in Yizhou... King Xuan captured Zizhou again."

The ministers were overjoyed: "His Royal Highness King Xuan is indeed very brave!"

It's just that... this seems to... make King Wei even more incompetent.

I'm afraid that when he returns, he will be greeted by His Majesty's thunderous wrath.

But immediately afterwards, Emperor Liang De spoke again, saying: "The King of Wei... has passed away."

There was silence in the hall for a while.

Everyone thought they heard wrongly.

But after waiting for a long time, they didn't even wait for the emperor's next words before they realized... King Wei is dead, really dead!

"But it was the murderous hand of the Meng people?"

"These damn Meng people! How vicious!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, my condolences."

As they spoke, they all knelt down and kowtowed. Before Emperor Liang De could shed tears, they all rushed to shed tears, as if it was their own son who died. No, it seemed like it was his father who died.

Emperor Liang De took the various expressions into his eyes, pressed his eyebrows, and said in a trembling voice: "Although the Xu family has all kinds of faults, Wan Concubine was also punished for arrogance. But now that the King of Wei is dead outside... Wan Concubine must be feeling like ten thousand things in her heart. Heartbreaking pain..."

The ministers understood this and took advantage of the situation to ask Your Majesty to forgive Wan Concubine for her past sins.

"Right now, it seems that with King Xuan here, the Meng tribe will never be able to invade our Daliang." Emperor Liang De waved his hand and said, "You can go down, I will be alone."

Many ministers did not dare to say anything, for fear of getting into trouble at this time, so they all retreated.

After they left, the same guard from last time came to the temple again.

The guard said: "Xue Ning is back. He said he escaped from death and was seriously injured."

Emperor Liang De's eyebrows were furrowed and he didn't relax at all.

Could it be King Xuan’s hand?

Was he going to kill all his sons?

But then the guard said again: "The Yao Minghui whom Your Majesty ordered the villain to keep a close eye on is no longer here."

"What does it mean to be gone?"

"My throat was cut by His Majesty King Xuan."

Emperor Liang De's frown suddenly relaxed.

What he worried about didn't happen.

King Xuan... is still his son.
