I have a poisonous snake

Chapter 257
After a few moves, Nangong Chuchen was restrained, and the tip of the sword touched his throat.

Ye Baimian held the sword in his hand and looked down at him, "Tell me, who sent you here? For what purpose?"

Nangong Chuchen stiffened his neck and looked at her angrily.

"If you want to kill, kill it. Let me tell you, I, Chu Chen, are not afraid of death! Even if I die, the Southern Kingdom will sooner or later become the number one country in the world. Your Northern Kingdom will only bow down to the Southern Kingdom."

Although Nangong Chuchen babbled a lot of nonsense, she still pulled out useful information from those words.

Nangong Chuchen is from the southern country.

Chu Chen...

Chu?
Chu is the imperial surname of the Southern Kingdom, so this Nangong Chuchen is a certain prince from the Southern Kingdom?

Ye Baimian rubbed his chin, if Nanguo knew that she had captured their prince, he would definitely come to ransom him, and then he could happily knock... no, the ransom was accepted.

Recently, there have been many memorials saying that the national treasury is empty, and it is time for the Southern Kingdom to bleed.

Before that, however, steps must be taken.

The sword in Ye Baimian's hand moved to Nangong Chuchen's hand, cut off his meridian, opened his mouth and fed a medicine into it.

Immediately afterwards, she dropped the sword.

"Come on! Quickly escort!"

Jinyu and Yingyue, who were drowsy, heard her call for help, woke up in a jerk, and immediately opened the door and rushed in.

"His Majesty--"

After seeing the scene in the room clearly, Jinyu and Yingyue paused, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

I saw the "assassin" His Majesty called lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and there was still a pool of blood on the ground.

And their noble and elegant Majesty stood beside him with a calm look on his face, and he didn't panic when encountering an assassin at all.

Jinyu only paused for a second, then came back to her senses, walked quickly to the side of Nangong Chuchen, knelt down and turned over his face to have a look.

"Master Nangong?"

She stretched out her hand in surprise, touched Nangong Chuchen's breath with her fingers, and looked up at His Majesty again.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Nangong is the prime minister's son after all, what does Your Majesty plan to do?"

Jinyu said this not to intercede for Nangong Chuchen, but to remind His Majesty that once Nangong Chuchen is punished, he will definitely break with the prime minister.

When Ye Baimian knew the true identity of Nangong Chuchen, he roughly guessed that the prime minister had betrayed the North Kingdom, and he was not worried about it.

"Nangong Chuchen is the prince of the Southern Kingdom. You have someone notify the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, tell him that the Prince of the Southern Kingdom is in our hands, and ask him to send someone to redeem him. Ask for anything. Nanguo can't afford to lose this person, and will definitely come to redeem him."

There are some things that you know and I know, but you can't put them on the surface.

The prince of the Southern Kingdom was detained by the Northern Kingdom. If the Southern Kingdom did not redeem him, he would be looked down upon by the other countries.

Therefore, no matter how high the price is, Nanguo can only swallow the bitterness in his stomach.

"...Young Master Nangong is from the Southern Kingdom?"

Ying Yue's eyes widened in surprise, and after a while she realized that she was too excited and covered her mouth lightly.

But she was still shocked in her heart.

People from the southern kingdom have been lurking in the northern kingdom for so long without being discovered, and the prince of the southern kingdom is still in the prime minister's mansion...

"Master Prime Minister, is he treasonous?"

Yingyue realized the seriousness of the problem after belatedly reacting.

The prime minister is the old prime minister of the northern kingdom, he has been prime minister for decades, if even he is treasonous, what will the other civil and military officials think?
They would wonder if the emperor of the Northern Kingdom was really too incompetent to order the prime minister who had changed emperors of the three dynasties to treason.

Moreover, even the high-spirited prime minister has treasoned, how many people in the court also treasoned?
Simply terrified.
