Chapter 25: Xiao Baojuan framed Xiao Yan
Xiao Baojuan was watching the folds in the palace, and suddenly, the eunuch Xiao Fangzi said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou, has come to Jiankang City." He's staying at the inn now. ”
"Xiao Yan really dares to come! Did I blame him? If he really wants to rebel. How dare you come to meet you? Xiao Baojuan said suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, not necessarily! The old slave felt that Xiao Yan might be trying to stabilize His Majesty, and he was afraid that His Majesty would go to attack Yongzhou. Think about it! Since Xiao Yan can arrive at Jiankang City so quickly. Then, he will definitely be able to attack Jiankang City at the same speed. and even a usurper of kings. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said.
He thought to himself: Although I have taken a lot of benefits from Xiao Yan on weekdays. However, now Xiao Yan is about to fall. If I continue to speak good things for him. Am I not going to be doubted by Your Majesty?
So, I can only slander him.
"yes!" Xiao Baojuan suddenly realized.
He thought to himself: It's terrible. It seems that Xiao Yan has long been disobedient to me. I just don't know it.
"The old slave heard that Xiao Yan reused the children of the Han family in Yongzhou, and even the children of the scholar clan had nothing to do. Isn't such a history of thorns buying people's hearts? The people on the street said that Xiao Yan was a saint. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said.
Xiao Baojuan suddenly became angry, he slapped the table and said, "Xiao Yan is a saint, so, what am I?" ”
"Your Majesty, now Chen Xianda has colluded with the Wei State and rebelled. Moreover, Chen Xianda wrote on the text of the rebellion: Xiao Yan also united with him. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said with a smile.
"I must get rid of Xiao Yan." Xiao Baojuan scolded.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou, has arrived." The palace maid said.
"Let him get in." Xiao Baojuan scolded.
His eyes were already a little furious, and his eyes were still bloodshot.
At this time, the concubine Pan Yunu walked in and asked, "Yo." Who provoked His Majesty to lose such a big temper? Could it be that the subordinates are not considerate enough? Or did that concubine make His Majesty angry again? ”
"Neither. I'm just annoying Xiao Yan. Recently, Chen Xianda rebelled. In his article, it was said that Xiao Yan was also involved in the rebellion. But I don't know if it's true or not. Xiao Baojuan said angrily.
"Really? Not really, right? Xiao Yan may not be a real rebellion. He has a heavy army, and if there was a real rebellion, he could have raised an army a long time ago. Why do you need to come to Jiankang City? Pan Yunu said with a smile.
"That's not right! Aifei, how did you know that Xiao Yan came to Jiankang City? Who told you that? Xiao Baojuan asked.
"The people in the streets, and the people in the palace, spread the word all over the city. said yes, Xiao Yan recently came to Jiankang City, and he was wronged. Your Majesty cannot harm the faithful. Concubine Pan Yunu said with a smile.
Xiao Baojuan thought to himself: What a reason. Xiao Yan actually took the opportunity to mobilize the people, did he hope to rebel against Jiankang's people?
It seems that he came to Jiankang City for a purpose. Not for the sake of the so-called clarification of the facts. He may have a bigger conspiracy!
"If that's the case, is Xiao Yan going to let the people say that I am a faint king? It turned out that he had long hoped for a rebellion. He's been hoping that I'll make a mistake! Xiao Baojuan scolded.
Pan Yunu thought to himself: This time Xiao Yan is definitely going to die. As soon as Xiao Yan died, Wu Shuyuan was a beauty offered by Xiao Yanjin, and she must be dead.
At the same time, Xiao Yan and his wife Xi Hui talked about Chen Xianda's rebellion in the hotel?
"Husband, Your Majesty has long wanted to get rid of you. Now Chen Xianda rebelled. The hearts of the people in the DPRK and China are fluctuating. At this time, if you summon the old department to attack Jiankang City, you will definitely be able to capture Xiao Baojuan and get the Jiangshan Sheji of Qi State. Mrs. Xi Hui said with a smile.
"That's not right. General Choi Hye-kyung is not a vegetarian. He won't be defenseless. And, if it fails. Our Yongzhou Thorn Mansion will not leave chickens and dogs. Xiao Yan said worriedly.
"But if that's you. Instead, it failed even more. Because, your life and death are completely in the hands of Your Majesty. Mrs. Xi Hui cried.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: We are not His Majesty's opponent at all now. If you rebel, you will be dead. It can't be like this.
Mrs. Xi Hui thought to herself: My husband is so indecisive, I am afraid that he will be plotted by His Majesty! However, it is up to me to protect my husband. There's really no way around it.
"So what? If we rebel now, it will be a dead end. There is no chance of winning. Xiao Yan cried.
"Husband, you will definitely regret it." Mrs. Xi Hui scolded.
The next day, Xiao Yan and his wife Xi Hui went to the palace to meet Xiao Baojuan, the faint monarch.
"Isn't this Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou? How can you do that? Xiao Baojuan smiled.
"The minister heard that the rebel leader Chen Xianda actually framed the minister as their accomplice. The minister was terrified, so he hoped that His Majesty would be able to see the situation and not be fooled by Chen Xianda's words. Xiao Yan cried.
"Really? Then I will give you a cup of imperial wine today, and you can drink it. I believe in your faithfulness. Xiao Baojuan smiled.
The eunuch Xiao Fangzi brought the imperial wine.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: It seems that Your Majesty wants to poison me. Madame was right.
Just when Xiao Yan hesitated, Mrs. Xi Hui suddenly snatched the imperial wine and drank it.
Xiao Baojuan was dumbfounded, and thought: Could it be that Xi Hui knew that it was poisonous, and she wanted to die for Xiao Yan. Never mind. I still won't kill Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan didn't want to rebel in the first place.
Hopefully, after his wife dies, he can be loyal to the court.
A few days later, Mrs. Xi Hui and Xiao Yan returned to Xiangyang.
"For so many days, Madame has been fine. Could it be that His Majesty didn't poison him? Xiao Yan asked.
"I hope so." Madame Xi Hui said with a smile.
However, she then vomited blood.
She said to Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty has put chronic poison in the wine. To drink it is to die. Husband, after I die, you have to take good care of our three daughters. By the way, there is also Ding Lingguang, she is not bad in nature, and she can be a good wife and mother. When I'm dead, let her continue the strings for you. Hopefully she can give you a son. ”
Xiao Yan cried: "Madam, I don't want you to die. You are my only one. You are my eternal wife. I don't want you to die. ”
He hugged Mrs. Xi Hui tightly, and said bitterly: "Madam, you must be well." I'll call you Langzhong. ”
"It's useless. Your Majesty's poison cannot be detected. A few days ago, didn't you ask Lang Zhong to show me? Your Majesty is like that. He already knew you were wronged. However, he has long wanted to kill you. So that's it. Mrs. Xi Hui cried.
"Madam, I don't want you to die. You will always be my only wife. Xiao Yan cried.
"One more thing. Who are you? Mrs. Xi Hui cried.
"I am your husband, Xiao Shuda!" Xiao Yan cried.
"No, you're not. After you came back from that time to resist the Wei State, it has changed. I'm sure you're not Xiao Yan. You're someone else. Mrs. Xi Hui cried.
"Okay, madam, I'm actually Xiao Lu. I am a man of the future, a man of the 21st century. Xiao Yan cried.
"Okay. Although I already knew that you were not Xiao Yan. But it's been a pleasure to be with you. You didn't even touch the concubine Ding Lingguang for me. Mrs. Xi Hui cried.
