A trace of hurt flashed in the eyes of the southern Xinjiang woman, and she nervously stopped Xiao Chengen. "Your Majesty, wait until everything is confirmed..."
"In case there is a scam..." The southern Xinjiang woman lowered her eyes. She had selfish motives and did not want Xiao Chengen to enter Kyoto.
But she also knew that she couldn't stop her. "Your Majesty, let Qingluan go investigate and wait for my news."
In order to make sure everything was safe, she wanted to go into the palace to investigate and see if Xiao Junze was really poisonous.
"Go quickly." Xiao Chengen nodded, it's better to be cautious.
…
Kyoto, Imperial Palace.
Xiao Junze woke up halfway and forced himself to get out of bed. "Chaoyang..."
"Your Majesty...General Mu Huaicheng has taken Princess Chaoyang out of Kyoto Station and headed for Shouyang." Mu Huaichen has been in the inner hall, waiting for Xiao Junze to wake up.
"I'll pick her up..." Xiao Junze felt severe pain in his chest. The more severe the mood swings, the greater the pain in his body.
"Your Majesty... This is your own choice and Chaoyang's choice." Mu Huaichen knelt on the ground and reached out to stop Xiao Junze.
"You want to stop me..." Xiao Junze breathed rapidly, and fell unsteadily in front of Mu Huaichen, his eyes red. "You obviously knew Chaoyang's identity a long time ago, but you refused to tell me, did you treat me as a child?"
brother!"
"Your Majesty, you and I are just monarchs and ministers, and those who serve as ministers should put the interests of heaven and earth first. I only know that if Princess Chaoyang does not get married, there will be a war at the border, and Prince Yu will take the opportunity to cause chaos. I am unworthy of the emperor." Mu Huaichen.
Kneeling quietly, his words were a little hoarse.
The air was so condensed that Xiao Junze's heart hurt more and more.
Is this the price of standing in this position? Brothers and sisters turn against each other, and monarchs and ministers stay away from each other...
Send away the person he cares about most with his own hands!
…
What do you care about most? Xiao Junze knelt on the ground helplessly.
He cares about Chaoyang, even if he doesn't know that Chaoyang saved him, Xiao Junze still cares.
With his eyes burning, Xiao Junze fell weakly to the ground and lay quietly.
From the moment he fell unconscious, his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"Your Majesty, you sent her away in person. She won't live long by your side. You don't want Chaoyang to make the same mistake as Bai Li, right?" Mu Huaichen asked quietly.
Xiao Junze didn't say anything, but his heart hurt like a knife.
"Your Majesty, you should have recognized her from the beginning. At least, don't be so cruel to her." Mu Huaichen's words were somewhat complaining.
"Your Majesty, I took it upon myself to issue an order saying that you were poisoned and fell into coma. Doctor Xue has been waiting outside the palace. Chaoyang left a bag of advice. Don't let her down." Mu Huaichen knelt down respectfully. This bow is the courtesy of a monarch and his minister.
.
Mu Huaichen felt sorry for Xiao Junze, really felt sorry for him.
He also wanted to be like a brother before... to comfort him and pat him on the shoulder.
But now, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him sitting in a high position, and also staring at himself as a close minister of His Majesty.
Mu Huaichen... and Xiao Junze can only be monarchs and ministers, nothing more.
The relationship between monarch and minister should have a certain degree of distance, but this degree is really difficult to grasp.
Xiao Junze closed his eyes, as if the world was spinning.
He didn't want to talk, he just wanted to think quietly about what went wrong and where he went wrong.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Xue will do his best to find a way to remove the poison for you. As long as you don't arouse the poison, you will be no different from ordinary people. Don't be too emotional." Mu Huaichen spoke again. "I'm leaving."
Xiao Junze lay on the ground, listening to the sound of the palace door closing, and smiled bitterly.
The throne...
What a joke.
I thought I could get everything I wanted by getting this position, but what happened? I couldn’t help myself...
Still can't help it.
Rights and desires will be infinitely magnified in this position.
He will want more and want to destroy more.
Chaoyang...
Whether Chaoyang was the one who saved him or not, it doesn't matter anymore.
Chaoyang was his Xiao Junze's woman, and he had already put his stamp on Chaoyang as early as the day of the substitute marriage.
He does not allow Chaoyang to belong to others, let alone Chaoyang escape too far.
Like a kite flying in the sky, he gave her the freedom she wanted and let her fly far away.
But the other end of the kite must be firmly held in his hand...
He doesn't allow the rising sun to fly for too long.
Even if her wings are broken.
Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Junze's voice was hoarse. "Ah Fu..."
Ah Fu walked in nervously from outside the palace and tried to help Xiao Junze up from the ground in panic. "Your Majesty..."
"Pass my decree, keep an eye on the Su family, and keep an eye on Prince Yu's Mansion. If there is any trouble, inform me as soon as possible." He wanted to restore the entire Fengtian as soon as possible and firmly hold the power in his hands.
…
Outside Kyoto.
Mu Huaicheng's people surrounded the post station and were on alert all night long.
"Not even a fly." The deputy general whispered.
"Don't be careless."
Before leaving, Mu Huaicheng took a thoughtful look around the inn. He had a hunch that the surrounding area was surrounded by dangers and that there were masters who wanted to kill Chaoyang.
But for some reason, they didn't take action at the entrance to Kyoto.
"Princess, this road is dangerous and hard, so I have to bear with you in every possible way." Mu Huaicheng helped Chaoyang get into the carriage and signaled the soldiers who were seeing off the bride to be alert.
"Brother, don't follow the official path." Before getting into the car, Chaoyang took Mu Huaicheng's wrist with his backhand and shook his head at her meaningfully.
Chaoyang's hearing is natural, and she can hear very subtle noises.
Although she was safe and sound last night, she heard the faint sound of bells all around her.
The four major poison sects are all accustomed to using copper bells, silver bells, etc. to trap Gu insects to carry poisons. The people who want to kill her are either people from Southern Xinjiang or people from the Rakshasa sect.
Mu Huaicheng nodded, signaling Chaoyang to rest assured.
The carriages and horses began to move, and footsteps could be heard outside the carriage window.
Chaoyang slowly closed his eyes, not caring about life or death in this journey.
"Princess, this is the bag of tips that Your Majesty asked your servant to hand over to you before leaving." The maid named Xiu'er, who was serving Chaoyang personally, spoke in a low voice.
What Xiao Junze meant was that as soon as the carriage and horse left Kyoto, he would hand over the first tip bag to Chaoyang.
Chaoyang's fingers stiffened for a moment and he slowly took it.
"If you don't take the official route after leaving the capital, it means Chao'er is still not smart enough. They are waiting for you. If you don't take the official route, the people in the five official houses on the small roads are mostly refugees and bandits, so it is not advisable. If you take the official route, you will be attacked.
Our troops stationed outside Kyoto can provide support as soon as possible."
Chaoyang gritted his teeth, Xiao Junze!
She has to leave, and I still have to control her everywhere.
Crushing the kit in his hand, Chaoyang looked out the window.
She preferred to take the narrow road.
"Self-righteous..." Chaoyang said softly, his eyes wandering a little.
What she wanted to hide from was not these killers.
No matter if you take the big road or the small road, these killers are not easy to deal with.
Even if he takes the official route, Xiao Junze's people may not be able to arrive as soon as possible.
Missing the best rescue time is no different than taking a small road.
The rising sun has to take a small path...
The one hiding was Xiao Junze.
…
Suddenly, Chaoyang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, like heart palpitations or panic.
Raising his hands to cover his chest, Chaoyang whispered, "Xiu'er, can you smell the fragrance of flowers in the air?"
Xiu'er cautiously grasped the sword she carried and shook her head. "Princess, Xiu'er didn't smell it."
Chaoyang suddenly froze, and his heart beat faster and faster.
All around...the sound of bells disappeared.
The whole environment became quiet...
Chaoyang could no longer hear any killer voices.
That floral scent is very familiar.
The familiarity made Chaoyang's heart ache.
"It's strange, it's eerily quiet this way." Someone outside the carriage muttered in a low voice.
"Report! General, there are hundreds of corpses of black-clad killers a mile away. They seem to have been eliminated by experts in advance, killing them with one blow! The signs of death are strange..."
