Chapter 168 The Delicate Little Emperor Is So Unruly (49)
After Wei Rong and Su He "opened their hearts to each other" that night, they became closer.
After that, he would either help her fetch water from the well and wash clothes, or she would come to the kitchen to help him cook and boil the pot. The two of them exchanged glances, each with their own ulterior motives.
Wei Rong spoke in high-sounding terms, but he deliberately picked a time to go to the front hall every night, and teased Su He in front of Xiao Xian again and again, saying dirty words one after another, which any decent person could not bear to hear.
There were also some insults to Xiao Xian mixed in, and the insults were particularly harsh.
He mocked Xiao Xian for occupying the toilet without doing anything, saying that Su He was a normal woman and how could he have the nerve to take out his thin needle tip and show it to Su He.
He also said that Xiao Xian was a complete waste, who not only knew how to prick people with needles, but also knew how to lie there and make people feel disgusted.
She said that Su He felt sick and wanted to vomit every time she saw him, and asked him why he didn't just die.
Su He couldn't stop him. Every time she tried to stop him, Wei Rong would act aggrieved and scold him even more harshly.
In the end, the smile on Su He's face became so shaky that it could hardly be sustained.
Because every night after Wei Rong left, Xiao Xian, who was almost mad with anger, would start to torture her deliberately.
The vital parts of Su He's body that were tightly wrapped by clothes were already swollen and bruised.
Su He can't hold on any longer.
Xiao Xian had already endured to the limit.
Five days later in the evening, Eunuch Fu arrived to deliver the final blow.
After Wen Luo drank another bowl of sugar, Eunuch Fu told him with satisfaction that His Majesty had basically investigated the matter of the Regent and found that there were some minor faults, but no major mistakes.
Moreover, he has been cooperating with the investigation these days and has never complained since entering the Xiyuan Palace, which shows his loyalty to Your Majesty.
Finally, Eunuch Fu said, "It will probably only be a matter of two days, and then His Majesty will let you return home to recuperate."
Eunuch Fu came in the evening, and Su He was poisoned during dinner.
There was no delay at all and the efficiency was incredibly high.
At midnight that day, Wei Rong's miserable and desperate cries echoed throughout Xiyuan Palace.
Xiao Xian, who had been waiting in the dark for half the night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once someone takes his poison, no one can save him.
Crying and shouting accompanied by crazy knocking sounds rang out at the gate of Xiyuan Palace, and soon torches illuminated the entire Xiyuan Palace.
The Supervisory Office quickly took control of Xiao Xian and the others who were standing aside with confused faces. Su He kept asking what happened?
No one answered her, and then the Inspectorate began searching everyone's rooms.
The search yielded nothing, of course. Even the bowls that the Regent and his men used after their meals were washed clean by Su He herself at the well.
As dawn approached, Su He and the others were driven back into the room which had been turned upside down.
Not long after, the torches that illuminated the Xiyuan Palace were removed. As the old palace door made an unpleasant sound and then closed with a heavy bang, the Xiyuan Palace once again fell into silence.
Xiao Xian laughed out loud in the darkness.
"It seems that Wei Rong really likes you. He doubted the bowl of medicine sent by the emperor, but he didn't doubt you."
"The master chose the right time."
"It's finally quiet. With Wen Luo, the roadblock, gone, the Liang army can now wash this filthy land with blood. I will tear those who bullied me into pieces!"
"Su He congratulates the master."
"You have done a great job in poisoning this time. I will remember it."
Su He said happily: "Thank you, Master."
.
Liang Guo.
Inside the palace with carved corridors and painted buildings, Duan Yingnan, the new king of Liang State, who had just been on the throne for two years, was sitting on the throne with a dignified look on his face.
Before he ascended the throne, he was the most radical of all the sons of King Liang.
If there is one person left in the entire Liang Kingdom who does not believe in evil and is not afraid of rumors, it would probably be him.
When he was still a prince, he strongly advocated another northern expedition, and firmly believed that the Han Kingdom was not a monolithic entity. They were seriously divided between the north and the south, and they should take advantage of this power split to catch them off guard.
He claimed that Wen Luo, the war god of Han Kingdom, was not as powerful as the rumors said. Twenty years ago, Wen Luo was able to rescue the emperor of Han Kingdom only because of good luck and their own underestimation of the enemy.
Wen Luo is, after all, a human being, not a god. As long as he is a human being, he can be defeated.
However, Wen Luo's name was well-known in Liang State, and no one responded no matter how the prince ran around and called out.
In the end, he had to give up the idea of competing with Wen Luo on the front battlefield.
Since we can't fight head-on, let's move to the dark battlefield.
Duan Yingnan spent several years personally cultivating an all-pervasive spy network.
Externally, he used this network to successfully root dozens of spies in the land of Han State, collecting all kinds of intelligence bit by bit, sending it back to Liang State continuously, and successfully connected with the deposed prince of Han State.
Internally, in the battle for the throne among several princes, he easily grasped their fatal weaknesses, and almost always hit the mark with his blows, and finally successfully put himself on the supreme throne.
From the first day Duan Yingnan took office, he once again picked up the idea of a Northern Expedition.
After these years of management and growth, he has become much more stable than when he was a teenager.
He knew that he had only recently come to power and was still in the process of consolidating his regime. He could not afford to make rash mistakes at this time, otherwise he would be met with verbal criticism from powerful officials and the covetous eyes of his defeated brothers.
So he secretly adjusted the army of Liang State and slowly deployed all the main forces on the border of Dahan.
At the same time, he launched a series of assassination attempts on Wen Luo.
However, the spy network that had been invincible in the past, failed to return time and time again after it came to Wen Luo's side, and did not bring back any results.
On this battlefield, Duan Yingnan and his men suffered defeat every time due to the loss of their generals.
Of course he was unwilling to give up, and swore that he would cut off Wen Luo's head even if he only had one soldier left under his command.
When the news arrived that Wen Luo was imprisoned in Xiyuan Palace, he knew that he had obtained a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
These days, he was almost restless.
I look forward to receiving good news from Dahan day and night.
When the news of Wen Luo being poisoned finally came back, that day, he sat alone on the throne, slowly closed his eyes, and did not speak for a long time.
A long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled.
It turned out to be such a thrilling pleasure!
The caution he had developed from running a spy network for many years prevented him from hastily announcing the news to his generals.
It was not until the Regent's Palace kept the death a secret and the entire Kyoto pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened, while the troops in Southern Xinjiang began to receive orders to be frequently mobilized. He could tell at a glance that the defensive style of mobilizing troops was not from Wen Luo's hand. Only then did Duan Yingnan summon his most capable generals into the palace.
On the throne, his narrow eyes sparkled with shrewdness.
"Your Majesty, is there any good news today?" a general asked with a smile.
Duan Yingnan threw several secret letters in his hand into his hands.
The general took it with a smile and read each letter carefully. The more he read, the more shocked he looked. In the end, he suddenly stood up holding the letter.
"Is this, your majesty, true?"
Seeing this, the people behind him took the letter from him and passed it around one by one. Finally, all of them stood up with excited expressions.
"Wen Luo is dead?"
"The God of War of Han Country has fallen?"
"Your Majesty, is this true or false?"
Duan Yingnan had an icy smile on his face.
"Everyone, the Han Kingdom is about to end, and the God of Destiny is on the side of Daliang.
I have confirmed the death of Wen Luo through many channels. His death is an indisputable fact. However, the timid Emperor of Han Kingdom is afraid of causing panic in their southern border, so he probably never dares to make this news public.
But no matter what, no one can stop you on the road to the north.
The whole world belongs to the king. I want the territory of Daliang to be expanded all the way to the foot of the distant Lushan Mountain!"
