After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot
Chapter 214: No Hope, King Hui and his Son Battle of Wits
Seeing Gu Fei's attitude, He Cong loosened his grip on the dagger with satisfaction.
Hearing this, he changed the direction of his horse and laughed mysteriously.
"Just let her become 'her' again. Just like you, maybe it's time to return to 'you'."
As soon as he finished speaking, he blew a whistle, and a group of men in black rushed out of the jungle and started fighting with Gu Fei's soldiers.
And he, taking Qin Xin as his hostage, rode away on his horse.
"If you don't want her to die, don't chase her!"
With just one word, Gu Fei used up his last bit of strength and hurriedly gave the order.
"Don't chase her, don't hurt the queen..."
After hearing this, a deep crease appeared between Suifeng's eyebrows and he gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, but the queen is the imperial master's servant, and she wants to assassinate you!"
So many eyes saw it, and at the command of the Imperial Master, the Queen stabbed His Majesty in the back!
Gu Fei held Suifeng's wrist tightly.
"Don't...touch her. She must be...manipulated."
Suifeng's gums were about to break. If he wasn't afraid of irritating Gu Fei's wound and causing it to burst, he would have wanted to say -
Wake up, she wanted to kill you and you still want to speak for her, you are really hopeless!
Gu Fei stared at Suifeng, and before he fainted, he was still worried about Qin Xin.
"Order someone to secretly...watch...and protect...the queen."
After saying this, Gu Fei, who had lost too much blood, fainted.
"His Majesty!"
Suifeng cried out in shock, and had no choice but to immediately help Gu Fei up and take him to the hospital for treatment.
"Do as your majesty commands!"
In a deep voice, he conveyed to his men the order that Gu Fei had given before he fainted.
"Yes!"
Let’s talk about Xu Changming.
He arrived at the capital of Huiguo.
Before meeting King Hui, he first settled Qin Ruzhu——
He hid her in his private residence and ordered her to be strictly protected, or in other words, kept under guard.
Then he bathed, changed his clothes, and entered the palace ready.
Prince Hui was waiting for him in the imperial study.
When Xu Changming, dressed neatly and elegantly, came in, a trace of fear flashed in Prince Hui's eyes.
This son really makes him puzzled.
Before Xu Changming returned, King Hui learned that Xu Changde led his troops to attack the outskirts of Yu Kingdom's Wangdu City, but was defeated and died.
He was so angry that he spat out blood.
If the attack is successful, Hui State will be able to annex Yu State and expand its territory, and will be able to further curb the continued growth of Chen State. Taking over Chen State and unifying the world will be just around the corner.
But, they were already outside the city gate. An old man as weak and incompetent as King Yu should have surrendered easily. Xu Changde was also an expert in fighting...
Unexpectedly, Xu Changde was defeated.
And dead.
The one who died was King Hui's most trusted son, a capable general who was almost invincible in battle and could shock the Three Kingdoms.
This made Prince Hui more upset than the death of a prince.
But even Xu Changde's death could not offset the loss of the defeat.
If they are defeated, it will give Yu Kingdom a chance to catch its breath, and the two countries will be enemies from then on. Once Yu Kingdom recovers, Hui Kingdom will have to be on guard against it in the future.
In particular, the Chen Kingdom has a marriage relationship with the Yu Kingdom.
Prince Hui had been keeping a cold face and suppressing his anger all day.
Xu Changde was greedy for merit and reckless, but he would not send troops without a reason. The intelligence he received said that he sent troops because of friction with the border troops of Yu State.
No matter how hard Prince Hui investigated, he could not find the cause of the crime.
But how did the prince, who was there to repair the river transport, end up in the Jade Kingdom? And how did he happen to catch up with this siege?
King Hui was suspicious by nature, especially towards his son who was the crown prince but with whom he was not close.
He looked at Xu Changming, who was kneeling there and shouting his apology, and asked in a deep voice after a while.
"After you finished repairing the river transport, you should have returned to the capital. Why did you change your route and go to the Jade Country?"
The biggest problem is not finding the problem.
As expected, Prince Hui did not believe Xu Changming.
Xu Changming pursed his lips, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.
Then he replied respectfully.
"Father, please forgive me. I did go to Yu Country, but I didn't know that my fourth brother would attack Wangdu... I was also in Wangdu at the time, and when I found out, the fighting had already started."
The implication was that he was already in Wangdu City, and if a fight really broke out, he might not be able to escape, so he was even more likely to be unaware of the situation.
Prince Hui narrowed his eyes and threw a secret report at Xu Changming's feet.
"But you cooperated with the outside forces and almost took over Wangdu City."
Hearing this, Xu Changming was just a little surprised, then he took out the city defense map he got from Qin Ruzhu and presented it to King Hui with both hands.
"Father, please understand. My son's trip to Jade Country is indeed related to the cause of Hui Country, but I did not know that Fourth Brother would suddenly attack the city... If Fourth Brother could arrive later, then I would be able to adapt to the situation and take down Jade Country with the help of both inside and outside forces and give it to you, Father."
Prince Hui took the city defense map and looked at Xu Changming's annoyed expression, half believing and half doubting.
"How did you get it?"
"Father, please calm down. I... have a crush on the Sixth Princess of the Jade Kingdom. She is the legitimate princess and is deeply loved by the Jade King. I originally thought that I could kill two birds with one stone - if I could get the city defense map from her, we would all be happy to conquer the Jade Kingdom and strengthen the Hui Kingdom. If I can't get it..."
He raised his eyes and looked at King Hui with a bit of embarrassment.
"Then we cannot let Chen Country dominate by relying on marriage. I like the Sixth Princess a little bit. We can marry her to stabilize the relationship between the two countries. She is a legitimate princess. She is many times more noble and favored than the Queen of Chen who was brought back from the mountains..."
Xu Changming lowered his head, looking extremely submissive.
"I was so eager to be praised by my father that I acted on my own initiative."
After listening to Xu Changming's explanation, King Hui nodded thoughtfully.
"So you brought her back."
Prince Hui's calm voice exploded in Xu Changming's heart.
But he remained calm, raised his face in pretended shock, and looked at King Hui guiltily.
"Yes, yes... Father, please calm down! I just think that she might still be useful..."
"Snapped!"
King Hui was furious and slammed the table in an angry tone.
"You have a good plan, but you make mistakes at every step! That's why every move you make is a bad one!"
Prince Hui came out from behind the table, walked up to Xu Changming, and continued in a condescending voice.
"Prince, do you know that the precious pearls from the Jade Kingdom royal family that you brought back are now worthless fish eyes!
Her father and mother are both dead, and she has become a traitor to the Jade Kingdom. She is worthless and will only bring shame to you! If you had kidnapped the fifth princess Qin Jiao, you could have restrained the father and son of the Shen family of the Jade Kingdom, but you brought back a piece of trash!"
Xu Changming seemed to have just learned the news. He looked up, puzzled.
"The Jade King is dead? Then, what about the Jade Kingdom now..."
"You never thought that the Fifth Princess Qin Jiao, who was forced by Xu Changde to jump off the city wall, has ascended the throne! Now, you have planted the seeds of hatred and forced her to take revenge by letting a weak woman like her sit on the throne!"
Of course, Prince Hui did not think Qin Jiao was a powerful person, but she hated Hui State and became the new Prince Yu. From now on, she would target Hui State, whether openly or secretly.
In this way, you are in trouble and can't get rid of it.
All of this was caused by that reckless man Xu Changde! Unfortunately, that reckless man died, and now Prince Hui wanted to vent his anger, so he could only look for the prince.
Xu Changming kowtowed quickly, admitted his mistake and waited for punishment.
Prince Hui still disliked Xu Changming, but the doubts in his eyes were obviously gone.
"The prince is still too young to be of great use."
Xu Changming lowered his head, but the cruelty in his eyes became stronger.
"Father taught me that."
"Go and receive ten lashes as punishment!"
The moment the door closed, Xu Changming turned around suddenly.
There was no warmth in his eyes, only unresolvable hatred and murderous intent.
But he thought of something, and with a cold face and a slight raise of the corner of his lips, he went to accept the whipping.
