In the prince's palace, there was a dark cabin. Huo Yin sat quietly in it, and could only hear his own heartbeat.
Success or failure depends on one move tonight. If the plan can really succeed, then the position of lord belongs to him, and Shenyan will be exiled or even executed. In short, he will be stepped on forever.
At this moment, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the yard outside.
Huo Yin's heart trembled, but he did not move. He wanted to listen slowly, which would calm his heartbeat much more than knowing the result all at once.
There was a sound outside the door, and a figure stood outside. Shenyan suppressed his heartbeat strongly and realized that the other person was the person he was waiting for.
"How?" He felt his voice trembling slightly.
There was no talking outside, there was a crash, and then the only sound of something falling was heard.
Huo Yin was startled and quickly stood up and opened the door. He saw a body lying half on the ground and a large pool of red blood on the ground.
Seeing this scene, his trembling heart suddenly turned cold at the moment. Huo Yin didn't care about Yan Yue's injuries and asked anxiously, "What's going on? What happened? Was that thing...successful?"
After a long time, Yan Yue shook her head, "No."
Huo Yin's face suddenly stiffened, and although his heart had already had a premonition, he still couldn't help but twitch violently.
He turned his back and paced anxiously back and forth in front of the door. A few seconds later, he suddenly rushed to Yan Yue and said in a grumpy but deliberately suppressed voice, "What's going on?"
Yan Yue seemed to be seriously injured. After breathing for a few seconds, she slowly uttered a few words, "I was intercepted on my way to the assassination. Someone... knew about our plan."
"What!" Huo Yin was startled, then shook his head with a dark face, "Only you and I know about this matter. No third person has ever been involved, how could it be leaked?"
"I also find it strange..." Yan Yue's voice was weak, "And the person who intercepted me was none other than... His Highness the Third."
"Third brother... Shui Han?" Huo Yin's eyes widened instantly. He... how did he know? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. It wouldn't matter if it was someone else. But it was Shui Han. How could he know?
.
"Impossible." Huo Yin stared at Yan Yue, "You must be wrong."
"Although I don't have much contact with the royal family, I still recognize the appearance of His Highness the Third, not to mention... we even fought against each other." Yan Yue affirmed.
Huo Yin still couldn't believe it. He snorted and suddenly looked at the other party coldly, "I haven't told anyone about this matter. Even if someone knows, it's possible that you leaked the secret."
Yan Yue's mouth dripping with blood smiled, "This matter is not only related to His Highness, but also related to my life and death. Do you think I will publicize it?"
"What exactly is that..." Huo Yin couldn't think of it for a moment.
"So I suspect that there may be a mole around His Highness."
"The mole?"
"He's a spy."
Huo Yin frowned and said nothing. If there was really a spy, how could it be sent by Lao San?
"No, based on my understanding of Lao San, he would never do such a thing. Besides..." Huo Yin remembered that on the day of the conspiracy, everyone close to him had been killed by him, but he didn't expect that
, but still failed at this point.
"Your Highness, please think carefully." Yan Yue supported the wall and slowly stood up, "At that time, I really couldn't believe that the person blocking me was actually His Highness. Even if His Highness knew
It’s our plan, but this thing is a bit too strange.”
His expression slanted slightly, "Because, the only one who showed up at that time was the Third Highness."
Huo Yin's heart suddenly shook. Indeed, even if the third child was aware of his plan, if he just wanted to save his father's life, he only needed to report the matter to his father or any one of the high priest, knight commander, and grand marshal.
His actions were immediately frozen. However, he did not mention it to anyone before. Instead, he showed up alone to stop Yan Yue on the night of the incident. This move was obviously directed at him. If it was the former situation,
It was impossible for Yan Yue to come back alive.
At this moment, the image of Shui Han in Huo Yin's mind suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.
"Your Highness believes in the character of the Third Highness, but what if the Third Highness is on His Highness's side?" Yan Yue suddenly said with a strange expression.
This sentence suddenly reminded Huo Yin that various previous signs showed that Shui Han's closeness to his eldest brother obviously exceeded his own. If Shui Han learned that his plan was detrimental to his eldest brother and made such a move, it would be
It makes sense.
Thinking of this, the chill on Huo Yin's back became even stronger. If so, this matter must not be hidden from the eyes of the eldest brother. However, the other party has no evidence. Even if he knows, he can't do anything to him. But once the eldest brother ascends to the position of lord
, then you know what your result will be without even thinking about it.
"Your Highness, as a subordinate, rather than letting others take advantage of us in the future, it is better to do it all in one fell swoop now. After all, we have not lost everything yet."
Huo Yin was originally full of resentment towards Yan Yue. It was only after listening to this person's words that he fell into such a passive situation. But after hearing these words, his sinking heart was aroused again, and he couldn't help but
Turn to the other person.
"Do it to the end? What do you mean?" Huo Yin stared at the other party and asked in confusion.
"As the saying goes, if we don't do anything, we won't stop. Since the other party knows our plan and both parties know it well, there is no need to do everything in secret. As long as Shenyan can be killed, the position of lord will still belong to His Highness."
Yan Yue returned to her standing posture at this moment, her eyes flickering.
"Nonsense!" Huo Yin immediately shook his head and said angrily, "You are going to deal with eldest brother blatantly. Do you want me to be accused of treason?"
"As the saying goes, a teacher has a reputation, so of course we don't attack rashly directly." Yan Yue said, "At that time, we can fabricate a crime against the other party at will, such as deliberately plotting to assassinate the king. If the king is dead by then, it will be better.
Well, just say that the other party is plotting to kill the king. I think the other party will also use this matter to accuse us, but both sides say so. People can tell the truth from the lies. The fact is, whoever can kill the other first will die.
That one is the one who takes the blame and brings disaster to the country and the people."
"This..." Huo Yin's expression gradually changed, and he pondered for a moment, "But the men under my command are far from my eldest brother's opponent, and if we are the only ones facing each other, I have no confidence that I can defeat eldest brother."
Yan Yue suddenly smiled slightly, "This is easy to handle." As he said that, he showed something in his hand, but it was a black sign with white edges, with the word "order" faintly engraved on it.
"This is..." Huo Yin couldn't tell whether he was surprised or surprised, his eyes were fixed on the token, "This is... the army gathering token of the warrior tribe!"
