On how cannon fodder became a group favorite [Transmigration Book]

Knowing that the emperor was assassinated the night before, the court was in a panic, and they all yelled in the hall that the assassins would be ransacked all over the house as a warning to others. Xie Yuanjia didn't sleep well all night, and his chin was resting on his head. Please don't argue anymore.

"The assassin is still being interrogated in the prison now, and we still have to wait for the results. My lords, please be at ease. The emperor is not feeling well. Today's morning courtiers think they can leave first."

"Uncle Huang is right. I do feel a little uncomfortable. If you have nothing to report, please go to court." Xie Yuanjia waved his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. His face was pale and his eyes were black.

The ministers thought that he was frightened last night, and the regent was presiding over him, so they hurriedly knelt down. Xie Yuanjia stood up from the dragon chair and walked outside. He almost fell, causing the little eunuch to follow behind. Exclaimed again and again.

Back at Jingying Palace, Chunyuya and Ji Shaoyan arrived. Both of them were a little worried. After all, they also saw how Clinique was in front of the emperor. They knew that the emperor's affection for Clinique was not just a simple master and servant. , Now that such a big incident has happened, the emperor must be in a bad mood.

"Teacher?" Xie Yuanjia was drinking tea, when he heard that Chunyuya had arrived, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "There is still a while before morning class, teacher, won't you go have breakfast first?"

Chunyuya shook his head, looked at Xie Yuanjia and said, "After hearing about what happened last night, I didn't feel like eating and worried about the emperor's dragon body, so I'm here."

"I happened to meet a great general on the road, so I came with the general."

Ji Shaoyan is usually used to being careless, but occasionally when he is careful, he noticed that the emperor was not in good spirits when he went up to court today, and after thinking about it after going down to court, he felt that he could not stay out of it, so he came to Jingying Palace in a hurry, "Your Majesty, you Don't think too much, the facts will have their own conclusions."

Seeing that both of them were worried about him, Xie Yuanjia couldn't say he wasn't moved. He was indeed worried about Clinique all night, but Ji Shaoyan and Chun Yuya were also worried about him, so he should cheer up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, I'm fine." Xie Yuanjia gave a relieved smile, "It's just a little hard to accept."

"This kind of thing is not unusual, the emperor should not take it to heart." Chunyuya said the same thing as Fu Jinghong, "Clinique won the emperor's favor but is not arrogant, and even harbors evil intentions to murder the emperor. Such a serious crime is never over. In 1000 years, the nine clans will also be punished, the emperor should keep his mind steady and not be fooled by past love, once you forgive him, he will no longer have prestige in the future."

Xie Yuanjia also knew that what he said was right. Fu Jinghong had told him all the dangers last night. If he treated Clinique leniently, his situation would be even more difficult in the future, and there would be more people who wanted to kill him. If you want to deter potential dangers, you must make an example.

"Teacher, don't worry, I...know it well." Xie Yuanjia forced himself to show a decent smile. He didn't want Chunyuya and Ji Shaoyan to worry about him anymore. If you say it, you will have your own conclusion."

Chunyuya nodded reassuringly. He was afraid that Yuan Jia would be too kind and would be confused about this matter. He didn't expect that this child was also growing up. Knowing the seriousness of this matter, he would not let his own temper do it.

Inside the prison—

Fu Jinghong sat idly on a chair in the middle of a dark, windowless stone room. There was no light around him, only a few candles were lit in the four corners of the room. He couldn't see clearly in the room, except for the reflection on the wall. Interrogation tools, occasionally mixed with a few painful moans, revealing a penetrating gloom.

Opposite Fu Jinghong was a wooden frame, on which only a man chained with iron chains could be seen, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body, but his face could not be seen.

"Unexpectedly, you really have a bit of backbone." Fu Jinghong was still leisurely in such a terrifying prison, as if he was not facing a prisoner at the moment, but drinking tea in the front hall of Jingying Palace. He held a black gold long whip in his hand. Even in a dark room, one could feel the power of the whip. The whip was covered with tiny iron hooks. If it was beaten down, it would only take one whip to tear people's skin open.

Clinique laughed a few times in a hoarse voice, as if Fu Jinghong had said some funny joke, her voice was no longer as clear and bright as it was when she was in the palace, and only one night turned him into what he is now.

"Fu Jinghong, I still say that, I won't say anything."

"Heh." Fu Jinghong's face was covered by the dim light, and he couldn't see clearly, only the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "If you don't tell me, this king can probably guess it. Up to now, I just want to make sure if there are any other accomplices."

Clinique obviously didn't believe it, and he spat disdainfully, "If you really knew my details, you wouldn't talk nonsense with me here, what about your usual tricks? Why don't you use it? Either you kill me now I can't say anything."

Fu Jinghong chuckled lightly, and was not irritated by his words, "After all, he came from my house, so he's not too stupid."

"This king says he can guess it, so he can guess it. Why lie to you?" Fu Jinghong looked at him with his chin propped on one hand, "If you don't insist here, are you trying to hide that you are Xie Yuanqi's person?"

Clinique sneered and said, "Even if I belong to Xie Yuanqi, do you have evidence?"

"Don't panic about the evidence, I will show it to you naturally." Fu Jinghong looked at him leisurely, "Rather than saying that you belong to Xie Yuanqi, it is better to say that you belong to Yuhu?"

Clinique coughed twice, "I won't admit anything without evidence."

Fu Jinghong nodded knowingly, "Since all the evidence I have shows that you are from Yuhu, then I will treat you as a spy sent by Yuhu and ask you a few words."

"Did you do what happened at Yubachang?"

Clinique remained silent, Qing An frowned, "My lord, this person doesn't seem very cooperative, why don't my subordinates..."

"No need." Fu Jinghong waved his hand, "He was interrogated all night, and he would have been recruited long ago. The punishment was too harsh. People died before he could say anything. That's exactly what he wanted."

"You also want to die with all your heart, and this king will keep you for a few days."

"The spy Qing An of Yubachang has also been interrogated, and he is indeed from Yuhu." Fu Jinghong stood up from the chair, walked slowly to Clinique, lifted Clinique's chin with the handle of the black gold whip, and looked at The bloodstains on his face could not be seen from the original delicate appearance, and he said softly: "Although I didn't find your shadow at that time, but I still left some doubts in my heart."

"It's just that I didn't notice you at that time, but you happened to be there when the emperor was assassinated several times. No matter how stupid this king is, I should have found out."

Clinique gritted her teeth and looked up at Fu Jinghong, "Since you have all the evidence, what else can I say? Yes, I am from Yuhu."

"Our king made a deal with Xie Yuanqi. As long as there is civil strife, we can take the opportunity to send troops directly into the capital to help Xie Yuanqi ascend the throne."

Clinique looked at Fu Jinghong fiercely, "When the time comes, don't say it's you, everyone in the capital, don't even try to run away."

Fu Jinghong loosened the restraint on him, and seemed to be in a good mood: "So, you have admitted your identity?"

"A spy from Yuhu Kingdom... makes sense." Fu Jinghong nodded, "The traitor Xie Yuanqi is indeed in Yuhu, and Yuhu's ambitions for me are indeed not small, so it makes sense for them to send you here as an undercover agent. "

Fu Jinghong glanced at Clinique, and asked a question in confusion:

"But this king doesn't quite understand. Does killing Yuan Jia do you any good?"

"Since you admit that you are from Yuhu, why don't you explain it to me?"

Clinique coughed twice, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and forced out a mocking smile: "It is really useless to kill Xie Yuanjia, he is just a useless wimp, without him, naturally there will still be another puppet .”

"But apart from him, there is no suitable heir to the throne in this world. Prince Chen is not far from death, and the sixth prince is a cripple. Except for Xie Yuanqi, no one is orthodox."

"Why are you so sure that the surname must be Xie in this world?" Fu Jinghong looked at him with interest, "Everyone knows about my king's ambitions, how could Xie Yuanqi not know? Without Xie Yuanjia, there is no other suitable candidate in the court. Why can't I call myself emperor?"

These words were like a thunderbolt still in this small secret room, directly exposing Fu Jinghong's ambition, Clinique snorted, "You are considered an emperor, can you sit still?"

"It's true that the power in the court is in your hands, but it's not always what you want." Clinique said coldly, "At that time, as long as you dare to proclaim yourself emperor, Xie Yuanqi will have a reason to borrow troops from the jade pot to rehabilitate you. If you return to the capital under the banner of the banner, you can guarantee that there is no one in the capital who supports him?"

Fu Jinghong nodded, "What you say makes sense."

"It's a pity, Yuan Jia always thought you were a good kid." Fu Jinghong sighed softly, "A few days ago he told me that he wanted to let you go on vacation for a few days so that you could go back to your hometown to visit, and he watched you all day She frowns, and seems to have lost some weight."

"Pity."

The flash of pain in Clinique's eyes was only for a moment, and he put on a proud face again: "I don't care for such weak and stupid people."

Fu Jinghong glanced at him meaningfully, "You really think so?"

Clinique tried her best to force a smirk, "Fu Jinghong, have you become a long-winded person after being with him for a long time? Even if I die, Yuhu will continue to send people to kill him."

"You just watch your beloved die at the hands of others."

Fu Jinghong's expression remained unchanged, and he ignored his provocative words. He walked back to his seat and sat down again. He put the whip on the table, "Your words are also reasonable."

"But unfortunately, I don't believe a single word."

"You said that you are from the Yuhu Kingdom, it is all false."

Fu Jinghong looked at Clinique, and said word by word, "Maybe I can explain it in more detail. It is true that you are the secret agent of Yuhu, but no one knows that you have another identity at the same time, and that identity is what you are really trying to do." Hidden reasons."

"You always imply to me that you are from Yuhu, and your words deliberately intensify the conflict between Dacheng and Yuhu. It sounds like you expect our two countries to fight, which is unreasonable."

"I believe that the king of Yuhu isn't stupid enough to confront him again just after losing a battle. Xie Yuanqi doesn't have the face to let him take this risk."

"You must have something to hide."

Clinique's face remained unchanged, but her hands were slightly clenched, concealing the huge waves in her heart.

"I heard that in the northernmost part of Yuhu, near the desert, there is a very small country called Liuli, a beautiful oasis known as the desert's leftover pearl."

"Have you heard of it?"

Clinique's pupils shrank suddenly, no matter how much he tried to hide his heart, his face still revealed three points.

The Liuli Kingdom is so small that ordinary people would not notice this small country at all. Fu Jinghong would not mention it for no reason. Now that he has mentioned it, he should be quite sure.

"You hide it well." Fu Jinghong said in praise, "It's just that you are too young, sometimes you can't hold your breath."

Clinique suddenly raised her head, "Fu Jinghong!"
