Chapter 107 Bad News

Marshal Xue thought that when he met Xu Hu at the city gate who clamored to see Captain Xu, he would bring him back. Captain Xu would definitely accept his love, but he did not expect that he would do bad things with good intentions.

He said to Vice Admiral Cui calmly, "What did you find out?"

Vice Admiral Cui sighed and shook his head: "Xu Hu was tied up and taken away. The distance was too far to detect anything."

Then he said: "However, I saw that Miss Xu Er and Miss Xu San were also observing, as if they had some ulterior secrets."

Marshal Xue snorted coldly and said: "Is there any hidden secret? It's just that Miss Xu's mother was born as a commoner. In order to conceal this matter, Taifu Xu hid Captain Xu in the snow for more than ten years."

Vice General Cui opened his mouth as wide as possible and stared at Marshal Xue in surprise.

Marshal Xue sneered and said: "Do you think Taifu Xu is such a good thing? He can be cruel enough to kill his own daughter. I am afraid that only he and His Majesty are the only civil and military officials in the dynasty who can do this."

One wants to kill his son to consolidate his throne, and the other wants to kill his daughter to consolidate his position. These two really love each other and are a family.

It was such a coincidence that Taifu Xu's brother had been with His Majesty as a companion since he was a child. Half of Taifu Xu's success was due to his brother, and the other half was due to his good fortune.

Vice Admiral Cui originally wanted to please Captain Xu and Yeshang, but when Marshal Xue said this, he immediately put away his thoughts.

It has always been thought that the person who wanted to kill King Jin was the Queen, but many people said that the Queen was ordered by His Majesty, but because he had never heard his uncle say it himself, he was still dubious.

In addition to the previous letter from Taifu Xu, he had always thought that Captain Xu was Taifu Xu's goddaughter. Because it was rumored that the Xu family only had two legitimate daughters, he had not taken this matter to heart before.

"Then, uncle, can we escape this time?" Vice Admiral Cui suddenly thought about it. He will no longer wade into this muddy water, and the court is not suitable for him. Without uncle's protection, he will die no matter what. have no idea.

Marshal Xue was quite pleased to see that he had calmed down his thoughts.

"It depends on whether the Queen is willing." He was not completely sure. Now he was old and could not fight. If he had not been forced by the Queen, he would not have gone all the way to Xiaocheng.

Coupled with the reaction of the envoy who came today, he once guessed that the Queen wanted to leave the Yuecheng riots to him.

However, he just didn't want to go, for the simple reason that it was thankless.

He is not a royal relative and cannot enjoy the fiefdom. Even if Yuecheng is taken back, it has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, attacking Yuecheng will kill a large number of people, and these people are civilians serving labor.

If he fails to successfully retire and return to his hometown, then his fate will actually be not much different from that of a commoner. He is just a declining nobleman, not a nobleman with a civil servant background, so he was forced to accept the Xiaocheng incident.

Marshal Xue had a headache when he thought of this, but what he didn't expect was that the Queen would have an even bigger headache at this moment.

Inside the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

The queen was sitting leisurely on the couch. Next to her were a dozen maids who were beating her waist and squeezing her feet. The maid on the other side was holding a piece of freshly cut red melon and fruit and putting it into her mouth.

Her eyes were sleepy, and her white complexion was filled with comfort.

The messenger came in from outside the palace in a panic. Seeing the Queen's proud look on her face, he suppressed his anxiety and bowed before saying: "The Queen, something serious has happened."

The queen, who had been waiting for the good news to come back, suddenly sat up when she heard the words and looked at the messenger in surprise: "What's going on?" Because of the riots in Yuecheng, the queen's heart was in her throat when she heard the news from the messenger.

"The three princes are overly frightened and unconscious." The messenger choked and knelt down, looking like something terrible had happened. When the queen heard this, her face darkened, she quickly stepped forward with her bare feet on the couch and said, "What did you say?"

Even the maids who were waiting on the Queen's side paused for a moment.

"The three princes were too frightened. The assassin assassinated Miss Xu and her limbs were cut off by Miss Xu. The three princes were frightened when they saw the limbs on the ground. Now they are too frightened and they don't recognize people." The messenger's face was full of grief.

When the queen heard this, she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground. The palace maids and chamberlains beside her were even more frightened when they heard the words. When they saw the queen leaning back, they rushed forward: "Queen, queen, please be careful with yourself." Those who supported her, some cried, and some were so frightened that they knelt around her.

But the queen is rational. She has never experienced anything before. She was just confused for a moment and her rationality returned.

She took a deep breath, stood upright, then paused and said, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctors are all inferior doctors. I heard Marshal Xue say that they just prescribed some tranquilizers, but they didn't have any effect." The envoy looked depressed and lowered his head.

When the Queen heard this, her mind felt as if she was struck by lightning again, and her body began to tremble even more violently. Her mind suddenly went blank, and her body fell back. She was so frightened that the chamberlain quickly stepped forward to block her falling body. Her heavy body pressed against her body. The chamberlain trembled, and immediately a palace maid came over to support the queen. The group of people lifted the queen up and put her on her feet.

The kneeling chamberlain looked up when he heard the sound. The Queen's face turned pale. Not to mention the Queen, even he was shocked when he saw the look of the three princes.

Just for a moment, the palace was in a panic: "Mr. Xuan, M.D. Xuan." Immediately, the clever servants ran to the Imperial Physician's Office.

When the envoy saw that something was wrong, he immediately got up and ran to His Majesty's study.

He thought that the Queen would be irritated, but he didn't expect that the irritation would be so great. His Majesty didn't know about it yet, so he could only come and ask your Majesty to make the decision.

But, can His Majesty accept three foolish legitimate sons?

Especially the legitimate son who was frightened to death. Everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty preferred the legitimate son to inherit the throne, and the three legitimate sons.

The envoy's face turned green and white. Although he was not responsible for this matter, he was the envoy who went to report it, so he would inevitably be implicated.

His Majesty is the most snobbish in the palace, and he often kills people because of his temper.

When he got the throne, it was because he married the queen, and with the Xie family working behind the scenes, His Majesty had the opportunity to compete with Emperor Wei.

Therefore, he has a lot of reliance on the Xie family, but who is he? He is just an internal official. His Majesty will kill him if he is unhappy.

In the Jin State, the lives of slaves and maids were inherently lowly. Those who worked as civilians and were slaves with the lowest status lived worse than them.

Emperor Jin was in the imperial study at the moment. He also received the news, which was sent by the Fengcheng County magistrate. King Jin and Captain Xu killed more than a thousand assassins and scared the three princes. Moreover, the three princes were unconscious. Qing, as well as more detailed content, were sent by Marshal Xue.

Marshal Xue hinted in his words that the assassin was related to the three princes, so the three princes were frightened by the assassin he sent.

Xu Xiaowei and Jin Wang acted in self-defense.

His Majesty's hands were shaking violently as he held the letters.
