Chapter 224 Evil Spirit
The Western Region spies lurking in the capital city hurriedly sent letters to their monarch to inform him that the capital city was about to be disrupted.
Western Regions, inside the Imperial Palace.
The monarch of the Western Regions sat on the dragon throne and read the letter sent by the spy from the capital. He glanced at the people in the audience and asked calmly, "What do you think we should do?"
The ministers below were discussing the matter.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, now is a good time to attack Shangjing."
"Yes! While they are facing external and internal troubles, we can take them down in one fell swoop."
"Yes, they are currently resolving internal conflicts and are too busy to handle everything. If we catch them off guard, then it won't be easy for us to capture Shangjing, right?"
……
When the monarch of the Western Regions heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction. The ministers shared the same idea.
"Okay, then let's do as you say. We will discuss and prepare, and then we will start attacking Shangjing today."
The monarch of the Western Regions said impatiently.
"Your Majesty is wise."
……
Inside the palace.
Breakfast, early meal time.
Xu Yingying looked at the table full of dishes and asked the waiter beside her, "Where is your prince?"
"My lord, the prince went out early in the morning. It seems that he went to do something important." The servant replied respectfully.
After listening to this, Xu Yingying nodded to indicate that she understood.
No one knew what Li Siqi was busy with during this period. He went out early and came back late, so she and Li Siqi never saw each other.
When she got up, Li Siqi had already left the mansion. When she rested, Li Siqiyou had just returned to the mansion.
Seeing this, the maidservant beside her quickly added: "Reporting to Lord Xu, the prince is investigating the case of the imperial concubine's rebellion. The emperor, out of consideration for their old friendship, has temporarily detained the imperial concubine and the prince in their respective bedrooms."
"But the Imperial Concubine's mother's family is not so lucky. The Imperial Concubine's mother's family will be executed in the next few days. The Emperor asked the prince to preside over it."
"Ah? When will the beheading take place?" Xu Yingying was a little surprised.
"Reporting to the master, it is noon today." The maid replied.
"Okay, I'll go take a look at noon."
Anyway, she didn't have anything to do today, and she still wanted to see the evildoers get their comeuppance.
After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she continued to have her breakfast.
noon.
Looking at the crowds of people on the street, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that if you do too many bad things, you will be punished.
When the common people learned that the imperial concubine and her family were going to be executed, they spontaneously took to the streets to witness the traitors being beheaded.
"The auspicious time has come!"
"cut!"
After saying this, the token in the judge's hand was thrown to the ground.
At the same time, the executioner raised his knife and the traitor's head rolled off his neck and rolled several times on the ground.
After seeing the traitors getting the punishment they deserved, the people cheered happily and couldn't help but applaud.
"it is good!"
Xu Yingying, who was hiding in the crowd, frowned when she saw this and had a bad feeling in her heart.
She witnessed the entire process of their beheading, but she found that after these people died at the execution ground, black smoke would come out of their bodies, like evil spirits.
The rising murderous energy actually flew straight towards Fang Haoyuan's residence.
When Xu Yingying saw this, her eyelids jumped and she had a bad feeling.
At the same time, Li Siqi, who was supervising, also noticed Xu Yingying in the crowd.
After dealing with the beheading matter, everyone dispersed. Li Siqi immediately asked Xu Ruohao to bring Xu Yingying to him, for fear that something might happen to Xu Yingying.
After Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi, she couldn't wait to tell him what she had just discovered.
Li Siqi frowned slightly after hearing this. He felt that there was something weird about this matter.
"Do you need me to do anything for you?" Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying and asked.
Xu Yingying nodded, "I want you to sprinkle black dog blood around Fang Haoyuan's mansion, and then find a way to prepare more peach wood swords."
Li Siqi nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
The residence of the Imperial Preceptor.
Fang Haoyuan gathered the wronged souls of the imperial concubine's mother's family who had just been beheaded, and tried to create a ghost.
At the same time, a pretty voice appeared behind him.
"Master, how are you preparing?"
This person is the imperial concubine who should be confined in the palace.
Yes, she changed clothes with her personal maid while the official was not paying attention, and then sneaked out disguised as a maid.
The moment Fang Haoyuan saw the Imperial Concubine, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you have lost a lot of weight recently."
After hearing this, the Imperial Concubine shook her head helplessly. "My family was executed, and Siming and I have lost most of our support. How can all the bad things that happened during this period make me feel good?"
"Oh, by the way, how did you do the thing I asked you to do? You can't mess it up again this time!" The imperial concubine looked at Fang Haoyuan with a serious face.
Fang Haoyuan touched the Imperial Concubine's chin with his finger and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to this national teacher to ensure that it will be foolproof. Now everything is ready, and we are just waiting for Xu Yingying to take the bait."
Inside the palace.
Xu Yingying was rummaging around in the study because she was worried that she would not be able to beat Fang Haoyuan in a fight.
After all, the other party was a very cunning and scheming opponent, so she had to be on guard against him.
So for the following period of time, Xu Yingying hid in the study and concentrated on studying countermeasures.
Li Siqi saw that Xu Yingying had basically spent the whole day in the study room, and she looked very nervous, so he comforted her, "It's okay, it's just Fang Haoyuan. If you are so afraid of him, then I will get rid of him for you."
Li Siqi said lightly, and his tone was very casual, as simple as what he had eaten today.
Xu Yingying was amused by his appearance, so she nodded in cooperation, "Okay! Then please help me get rid of him, Your Highness!"
Xu Yingying thought Li Siqi was joking, but she didn't expect Li Siqi was serious. He sent people to assassinate Fang Haoyuan that night.
As the incident happened rather suddenly, Fang Haoyuan was completely unprepared and was caught off guard.
Early the next morning, the news that Fang Haoyuan had been stabbed to death in his own mansion the night before spread throughout the capital.
Everyone was shocked after hearing this, even Xu Yingying seemed particularly surprised after hearing the news.
She had never expected that she and Fang Haoyuan would die without even fighting, and the news of his death was so sudden that he was not prepared at all.
The emperor did not feel too much about Fang Haoyuan's death. Instead, he even applauded, because Li Siqi also submitted evidence of Fang Haoyuan's treason in the court.
As soon as this incident happened, the wind direction in the court changed instantly.
