Rebirth: I brought all the beasts to kill my husband from my previous life
Chapter 171 Killing the Emperor
That look of collapse startled Jueying and Anying who were standing outside the door.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you close the door and leave?"
A cold voice frightened the two of them, and they quickly closed the door to block out the devastating crying inside.
……
Late at night, everything is quiet, only a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, emitting a faint silver light, adding a touch of warmth to the cold night.
Under the hundred-meter-high city wall outside the Northern Kingdom Palace, a tall and straight black figure appeared here.
He looked up at the soldiers standing on the city wall, an evil smile appearing at the corner of his mouth under the black mask.
Then the black figure disappeared instantly.
A soldier guarding the city felt a gust of wind blowing past his eyes, and his mind instantly became clear.
"Quick, there's an assassin, there's an assassin..."
"You're nothing." A companion came up to him and gave him a slap on the face, interrupting his sudden madness. "Why are you shouting? Where is the assassin, huh?
"Do you know what will happen if you lie about military intelligence?
"Idiot!" His companion glared at him fiercely, then turned back to his seat and continued to look around.
When the others saw this, their nervous hearts immediately relaxed.
"Boss is right. Don't go crazy every time you dream. You have to hold on no matter how tired you are. Otherwise, we might lose our heads."
In the past month or so, they have been guarding the city without sleep, and even with their cultivation, they are already a little exhausted.
Today many of them were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes.
However, I still have to hold on.
Just to complete the task assigned by the superiors, capture the Sixth Princess, and kill her on the spot.
They knew very well that the Queen now had the final say in the Northern Kingdom.
The Queen is more decisive and ruthless than the Emperor.
I heard that she has killed a lot of people who disobeyed her recently.
But none of the ministers dared to say anything, because they had not only the token given by the emperor in their hands.
Even the most trusted eunuch Wang by the emperor's side stood on her side.
If an assassin really breaks in tonight and destroys the Queen's plan, they will definitely lose their lives.
Fortunately, apart from the companion's scream, he did not see any other strangers, nor did he sense any strange breath.
It is now certain that this place should still be safe and there is no enemy invasion at present.
After the screaming soldier saw the surrounding environment clearly, his uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
It was a close call, luckily it was just an illusion.
On the city wall, things seemed to calm down strangely again. Everyone returned to their positions, mustered up all their energy and spirit, and vowed to defend the place to the death.
Try not to let a fly in.
……
In a dilapidated palace.
A black figure passed the guards standing outside the palace and quietly appeared in the bedroom.
Even though this person was wrapped tightly, the two people in the hall recognized who he was at a glance.
This person was Di Yanlie’s clone, Xi Junyan. As soon as he appeared, he casually set up a small soundproof barrier.
Feng Xing's face lit up with joy, and he quickly went to meet him.
"Master, you are finally back. Feng Xing missed you so much."
Feng Xing couldn't help but tears up his eyes.
If you didn’t know, you might think he saw his beloved and that’s why he cried with excitement.
But only Feng Xing himself knew that he was afraid that the young master would never come back and abandon him.
Because this time the young master was out longer than ever before.
It lasted so long that he became panic-stricken and scared!
Xi Junyan's mouth twitched, he took off his mask, glanced at him with disdain, and asked Bai Ying: "What happened in the palace?"
Bai Ying, who was lying on the bed pretending to be Xi Junyan, was delighted the moment he saw his master. He quickly got out of bed and looked at him excitedly.
Now seeing the master asking about them, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, it was the Queen who rebelled. I don't know what she fed the Emperor, and the Emperor is still in a coma."
Feng Xing sniffed and took over Bai Ying's words, "Women have the most vicious hearts, sir. She took advantage of the emperor's unconsciousness, took out the emperor's token, and controlled all his men.
"The entire palace is now under the control of that woman Mu Wanrong. I heard that she called Bei Yuanling back today. She probably wants him to inherit the throne.
“Sir, please think of a way to save the emperor first.
"If the Sixth Princess knew that the Emperor was unconscious, she would be very sad."
Xi Junyan was silent...
A mere woman, yet she has such great ambition.
It seems that the rise of the youngest child has given this old woman a strong sense of crisis.
Seeing that several assassination attempts failed to kill her, he turned around and attacked the person next to him.
I have to say, this old woman's methods are quite clever.
When Xi Junyan thought of the emperor falling into a coma, he associated it with poison.
But he knew nothing about poison, so the youngest had to do it himself.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I will go and see the unconscious emperor first. The reason why he is unconscious is most likely because he was poisoned.
“If he is really poisoned, and I know nothing about poison, there is nothing I can do.
“You two will continue to stay here in the near future. Remember, don’t do anything. Leave the rest to me.
"I will contact Younger as soon as possible. As for that old woman, let her run around for a few more days. It won't be too late to deal with her when Younger comes back."
……
Five days later.
Bei Yaoer and his group finally arrived outside the gate of Kyoto.
At this time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they all changed their appearance.
Their looks couldn't be more ordinary. If they were in a crowd, no one would want to look at them for a second.
However, even so, they still could not enter the city.
"Why don't you let us into the city?" Bei Yaoer asked angrily.
A soldier replied impatiently: "We just don't allow you to go. Why are there so many reasons? Go, go, go, hurry up. Can't you see we are busy?"
Another patient soldier explained: "You are in the same group, otherwise the men would still be allowed in."
"Why can only men enter and not women?" Wu'er asked puzzledly.
As soon as Wu'er asked this question, the soldier suddenly stared at them with an unfriendly look.
It was as if they were all going to be tortured to death the next moment.
A kind-hearted woman nearby saw what was happening and hurried over to pull Bei Yaoer and the others aside.
Others followed.
Seeing this, the soldiers gave up.
The woman sighed and explained, "Girl, you are not from other places, are you?"
Bei Yaoer smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Yes, Auntie."
The woman then smiled and explained: "You don't know, the emperor suddenly fell ill and couldn't get up.
"Later, someone reported to the Queen, saying that the Emperor fell ill because he was poisoned by the Sixth Princess.
"The reason why she did this is that after she fell into the water, she not only became less stupid, but also no longer useless. Her cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds overnight.
"After she woke up, she didn't know who told her that her mother was murdered by the emperor, which was why she died so early.
“So she held a grudge against him, and before she left, she killed the emperor.
“Although she has escaped now, it is very likely that she has heard that the emperor is not dead yet, and has returned to continue to plot against the emperor.
"It is precisely because of this that the Queen ordered the city gates to be sealed and people entering the city to be strictly checked every day, and no women were allowed to enter.
“If you encounter a woman who behaves strangely, you must kill her on the spot.
"I saw that you didn't look like bad people, so I brought you here to explain the matter.
"You have no idea that you asked too many questions and behaved a little strangely, almost causing their suspicion. You might even lose your head, so the old lady pulled you over in time.
"Remember, don't act rashly next time. Alas, you guys are just like my disappointing son, equally impulsive and makes me worry."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Bei Yaoer and his group thanked the old lady politely.
Finally, Bei Yaoer also gave her a few pills.
After refusing several times, the old lady saw that she couldn't refuse anymore, so she gladly accepted it.
After seeing the old lady off, everyone looked unhappy.
