When Ji Shenjue and his wife were busy with food and grass matters, they saw Hai Long walking in in a hurry.
The moment they saw Hai Long, Ji Shenjue and his wife's brows tightened visibly.
"Hai Long has met the Regent and Princess Regent of Xiling!" Hai Long said as he stepped forward with a 'respectful' look on his face.
Ji Shenjue made a gesture to ask for a seat, and then asked, "I wonder what business General Hai has here?"
Looking at Ji Shenjue, Hai Long frowned, hesitated uneasily for a moment, and finally said, "I went back to Beipi not long ago, and on the way back, I heard something.
"
"Oh?" Ji Shenjue stared at Hai Long with a confused look.
"Because the matter is so important, I don't dare to speak lightly. However, my master has said that no matter whether it is true or not, I still have to speak to the regent and his princess." Hai Long still looked hesitant.
Seeing Hai Long's appearance, Ji Shenjue also knew that he should not be underestimated at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "General Hai, I just say it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Hai Long hesitated again before speaking. "I heard that not long ago, Xiahou Yexiu and Ruoshuiyue sent a large number of assassins to Xiling to assassinate the Xiling Emperor! And it is said that they seem to have succeeded."
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Ji Shenjue and Ji Shenluoyan stood up from their chairs and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Because I'm not sure whether it's true or not, I'm just...maybe someone is deliberately spreading rumors!" After looking at Ji Shenjue and his wife with complicated expressions, Hai Long said again.
Ji Shenjue did not rush to answer Hai Long's words, but gave Ji Shenluoyan a meaningful wink.
After Ji Shenluoyan left anxiously, Ji Shenjue clasped her fists and said politely to Hai Long. "Thank you very much for the kindness of the Crown Prince and General Hai. I still have some things to do, so I will see you off far away!"
Hai Long nodded. "Then I'll take my leave." After that, Hai Long stood up and walked out.
However, at this time, Ji Shenjue did not notice at all the vicious and proud look in Hai Long's eyes the moment he turned around.
Sure enough, Ji Shenjue and his wife had just sent someone back to check the situation, and the next day they received an urgent document from Xiling. It said that Xiling Emperor Ji Shenlin had been assassinated. At the same time, the prime minister and other ministers took the opportunity to plot a rebellion.
The situation is very pessimistic. I hope the regent and his wife will return home as soon as possible.
"Oh my god!" Ji Shenluoyan exclaimed when she saw the document in her hand, and fainted on the spot because she couldn't accept it.
As for Ji Shenjue, it was as if his acupuncture points were tapped in an instant. He was stunned on the spot and could not recover for a long time.
The letter was sent more than ten days ago, which means that it has been more than ten days since the incident happened. Now Ji Shen has not only lost his son, but also Xiling, whom he values more than his life, is shaken
It's so dangerous that it's even gone now.
Imperial Palace, Luanfeng Palace
Ruo Shuiyue sat lazily on the chair and looked at the latest information coming from Xiling.
"Sister-in-law, how is the situation?" Xiahou Yunjie asked anxiously when Ruoshuiyue remained silent for a long time.
Feng Mei raised her eyebrows, Ruoshuiyue smiled lightly and said, "If you follow my plan, what do you think the situation will be like?"
Hearing this, Xiahou Yunjie felt happy. "Is it possible???"
"That's right, Ji Shenlin is dead, and our people have successfully occupied the entire Xiling as the prime minister of Xiling together with the ministers of Xiling who were bribed by us." Ruoshuiyue twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a proud smile.
"What about Ji Shenjue and their confidants?" The person asking the question at this time was Xiahou Boxuan.
Pouting, Ruoshuiyue smiled proudly again. "Do you think that with my character, I would really leave them to cause trouble for myself? They? They were already killed by my Ruoyuelou killers before taking action.
It’s almost gone.”
Hearing this, Xiahou Boxuan was immediately overjoyed. "So, the entire Xiling is already ours?"
Ruo Shuiyue nodded. "That's necessary."
"But I still don't understand why, despite such a big incident in Xiling, there is still no movement from Ji Shenjue and his wife?" Xiahou Yunjie asked thoughtfully, pressing his chin.
"The reason is very simple. This is Nantuo. Do you think, with your royal brother's style of dealing with things, would he easily allow people to approach Xiling Station? In other words, he had secretly kept Xiling Station secretly before.
The people inside disguised themselves as his people. In this case, do you think Ji Shenjue and his wife could have gotten the information without his consent?"
Xiahou Yunjie nodded. "That's true! By the way, Mrs. Huang, since Xiling has been taken, what about Beipina?"
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Ruoshuiyue said calmly, "Don't you know? Your imperial brother has already given up Beipi to Dongmi!"
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Xiahou Yunjie exclaimed. "Brother, what is the difference between doing this and giving the meat to others?"
Raising her eyebrows, Ruoshuiyue smiled calmly. "You have to ask him about this."
"But if the emperor does this, do you, the emperor's wife, have no objection?" Xiahou Yunjie narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.
Blinking, Ruoshuiyue chuckled and said, "What can I say? By the way, speaking of Xiahou Yexiu, where did that guy go? Why didn't he come with you?"
"Brother Huang still has some things to deal with."
"What's up?"
"What else can happen? Of course it's the aftermath!" Xiahou Yunjie spoke hastily before Xiahou Boxuan came over.
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue's eyes immediately fell on Xiahou Boxuan's face. "The aftermath? What about the aftermath?"
"Of course it's about Ji Shen Huan'er and her son!"
"Um? What do they have to deal with?"
"Well! I don't know the details. Anyway, just wait and watch the show tonight!"
Hearing this, Ruo Shuiyue didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked him jokingly. "By the way, I heard that Shuiyao is going to follow Murong Tuomie back to Dongmi. Didn't you do anything?"
With a frown on his face, Xiahou Boxuan asked Ruoshuiyue very dissatisfiedly, "What does it have to do with me if she goes back?"
"Oh? It seems like you really don't intend to chase her back?" After looking at Xiahou Yunjie, Ruoshuiyue smiled again.
"She is not one of my people, why should I chase her back?"
"Hey! That's right! Besides, it might be too late for you to chase me now!"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you know? They set off last night, and now! Maybe they are far out of the city!" The person who answered him at this time was Xiahou Yunjie.
"What did you say?" Xiahou Boxuan immediately shouted as his eyes opened suddenly.
"I said they set off last night. If you want to chase them, I'm afraid...hey!"
Before Xiahou Yunjie finished speaking, Xiahou Boxuan suddenly rushed out like a gust of wind.
Ruoshuiyue and Xiahou Yunjie were made to laugh wildly for a while.
