"You..." The spy grinned and struggled, feeling that the air in his chest was decreasing little by little, but because of Xuanyuan Hao's big hand on his neck, it was impossible to breathe a trace of fresh oxygen.
"Take what you found out and go to hell!" Xuanyuan Haosen made the final decision coldly. He suddenly added strength to his hand, "stuck" and directly broke the man's neck, and then
His body was thrown to the side...
The body that quickly collapsed and fell weakly to the ground, with blood still slowly oozing out from the corners of its mouth, its eyes turned white, and the look of death was miserable - he would eventually be buried in the land of the Xuanyuan Dynasty with the secrets of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
superior.
After finishing dealing with that person, Xuanyuan Hao frowned slightly, glanced at the blood on the back of his hand with disgust, picked up a few strands of dead grass nearby and wiped it casually, then turned around and left directly.
Chi Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at the bloody corpse on the ground, half a second of shock flashed through his mind. Subconsciously, he always felt that something was different! For example: Xuanyuan Hao seemed to be more ruthless than before!
He is becoming more and more bloodthirsty and murderous.
"What are you still doing?" At this moment, Xuanyuan Hao's voice came over. When Chi Feng turned to look over, he threw a riding crop in his hand to him and said, "Let's go to the direction of the imperial mausoleum.
Take a look."
Since the grass started to wither from the imperial mausoleum, it means that the toxin or plague also spread from there! We must investigate!
"Yes." Chi Feng responded quickly, looking away from the person on the ground and not looking at the person on the ground again.
He shook his head, suppressed all the strange thoughts in his mind, and silently explained in his heart - Xuanyuan Hao became so bloodthirsty, maybe it was because this person was unhappy after spying on the affairs of the dynasty today.
?Should be just a special case.
After all, the blood of the Xuanyuan Dynasty flows in his body, and he hates evil so much that he cannot tolerate the slightest stain on the dynasty! It is normal to get angry and kill people in this situation!
Jumping on the horse neatly, Chi Feng tightened the reins in his hands, kicked his legs hard, and chased in the direction where Xuanyuan Hao left on horseback...
************
While Xuanyuan Hao was trying to find the source of the poison, Xuanyuan Jin was reviewing some of the recent backlog of papers in the palace hall.
After all, the affairs of the country cannot come to a complete standstill just because of the death of the emperor. Things that should happen will still happen, so the troubles that will occur will still occur.
Nowadays, Xuanyuan Jin's power is almost everywhere in the court, and everyone inside and outside recognizes him as the next emperor. Naturally, in the name of "the second prince supervising the country," he is now allowed to handle the emperor's tasks.
For Xuanyuan Jin, whether he is an emperor or not, there is only a ceremony left.
"Your Majesty!" A eunuch's voice suddenly reached his eardrums, breaking the silence in the room and causing Xuanyuan Jin to stop drawing circles with his pen.
"What's the matter?" He frowned and turned around, looking sharply at the eunuch standing next to him, suppressing the faint disgust in his eyes.
This eunuch with a shrill voice was also the favorite of his father during his lifetime, and he was considered the most senior among the eunuchs! So he was always waiting by his side when he was reviewing the memorials!
Xuanyuan Jin disliked this eunuch very much. After all, he had not trained him himself! Under this eunuch's smooth smile, he had no idea whether he was an enemy or a friend. He didn't know whether he would be a stumbling block on the road to power, or...
Stepping stone?
"Your Majesty, it's almost noon, do you want to try on the dragon robe?" The eunuch's face was full of flattering smile, and he thoughtfully changed the herbal tea in front of Xuanyuan Jin to hot one, and then added, "What if?
If you are not satisfied, you can change it as soon as possible."
In the past few days, things have calmed down a bit, and it's time to prepare for the enthronement.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Jin responded, looking at the eunuch with consideration and testing in his eyes, trying to see a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but found nothing but flattery.
With a soft snort, Xuanyuan Jin looked away and stood up pretending to be nothing. He was about to bypass the big table and go out to try on the dragon robe, but before he could take two steps, the door was knocked open by several ministers outside.
There was a loud "bump", and Xuanyuan Jin's face darkened involuntarily. The eunuch next to him was so frightened that he screamed exaggeratedly. He rushed over and blamed him unhappily: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
?How can you be so rude to the prince?"
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!" The visitor glanced at the eunuch next to him and did not bother to say a word to him. He walked directly past him and walked in front of Xuanyuan Jin. He held up the paper in his hand and knelt down towards him, "Your Majesty, there is a report from the west of the city.
Come report urgently, there is a plague over there, and the epidemic is spreading rapidly!"
"What?" Xuanyuan Jin's heart trembled. When he heard the word "plague", his head suddenly got bigger. He returned to the big table irritably, stretched out his hand towards the minister below, "Bring the things up.
Let me see!"
"Yes!" the minister responded, and immediately handed over the statistical sheet with the symptoms of the epidemic and the number of patients. When Xuanyuan Jin lowered his head to look at it, he went back and added, "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial! According to the records in the history books,
There has been no plague in the dynasty for 23 years, which happened to be the time when the late emperor was in power. If an epidemic occurs at this time, it is very likely that some good people will connect the plague with the death of the late emperor. Then..."
He stopped mid-sentence. He still didn't dare to say it to Xuanyuan Jin about the worse ending he imagined in his mind, but everyone knew it well - by then, some people would say that the late emperor suppressed the plague.
After the late emperor left, there was no one in the dynasty, and the Xuanyuan dynasty was exhausted...
