Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories
Chapter 89 The Maverick Traveler (89)
The sleeve arrow is small, but if used properly, it can take someone's life invisibly.
Especially when everyone's attention is on this chaotic situation.
Even a master like Huo Ying was a little slow to react as the sleeve arrow was shot out too fast.
He threw the long sword far away, but it only cut off the arrow feathers, and still could not stop the direction of the sleeve arrow.
Huo Ying's pupils suddenly contracted——
"Jiang Xu! Get out of the way!"
When Helan Jue rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, before he entered the hall, he heard these words. His breathing instantly stopped, and he took three steps at a time and stepped up the step. The corner of his white clothes was blown away by the wind.
This was the first time Jiang Xu heard Huo Ying's voice so high since he knew her. He raised his eyebrows and pulled out a long whip from his waist.
The long whip was like a dragon, and all the power was gathered at the tail of the whip. With a clang, the sleeve arrow was hit by the long whip and rolled up.
Jiang Xu turned his wrist and swung the whip again with his backhand. The long whip broke through the air and rushed towards Helan Yun with the sleeve arrow rolled up.
Now it was Queen Su's turn to lose her voice in nervousness, "Yun'er!"
The sleeve arrow brushed past Helan Yun who was trying to dodge, leaving a bloody mark on his face, and pierced into the dragon throne.
"It's not the behavior of a gentleman to hurt someone secretly. Helan Yun, are you going to pretend now?"
Helan Yun sneered and was about to reveal the biggest secret in court.
"Gentleman? Do you think Helan Jue is a gentleman? He——"
The angry words came to an abrupt end. Helan Yun opened his mouth, but found that his throat seemed to be grasped by something and no sound came out.
He realized something and looked at Jiang Xu with wide eyes; What did you do! ?
Jiang Xu looked at him, curled the corners of his lips, and showed a cold look. Some secrets can only remain secrets for a lifetime, and he would never let Helan Jue's life experience become a topic known to the world.
That kind of life experience was not what Helan Jue had imagined. Both Helan Jue and his mother were victims of imperial power.
Seeing that Helan Yun was safe, Queen Su rushed forward to check on him and was about to attack Jiang Xu, but she found that she could not utter a word because of her throat.
She then felt a slight pain in her shoulder. She reached out and pulled out a very thin silver needle. The culprit was obvious.
Jiang Xu's only chance to attack was when he swung the whip to counterattack just now.
She was extremely angry, but couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Xu looked at her coldly, and just as he was about to order the arrest of the traitor mother and son, he was suddenly embraced in his arms with such force that it almost melted into his bones and blood.
His alert radar only went off for a moment before he relaxed. He relaxed his body and leaned into Helan Jue's arms, whispering comfortingly, "I'm fine. You know, my skills are not that bad."
"I know," Helan Jue leaned against Jiang Xu's forehead, his voice a little dry, "but I will never feel at ease until I see with my own eyes that you are safe."
Holding the man in his arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, Helan Jue put his heart back into his chest and raised his hand to make a gesture.
At Wei Zheng's signal, the imperial guards rushed to the platform and took the traitor under control.
Not far away, Huo Ying gradually withdrew his gaze from them, looked in the direction of the long knife he threw, and bent down to pick it up.
He put the long sword into the scabbard, and also put away some other things.
The appearance of Helan Jue brought the confusion to a climax, and the court officials asked in unison:
"King Dingbei! You...shouldn't you be outside the capital right now?"
"Your Majesty! What on earth is going on? How could you rebel? You are a great hero who guards the border of our Southern Dynasty!"
When Helan Jue heard this, he curled the corners of his lips briefly. Only he knew the emotion that flashed through his eyes at that moment.
"Your Majesty fell ill after I went to war, and his condition worsened ten days ago. But I only learned about this news a few days ago. The palace concealed the news from the northern border. It was a young eunuch serving Your Majesty who risked his life to secretly spread the news..."
At this point, Helan Jue paused slightly, glanced at Jiang Xu, who was standing aside after being let go by him, and a smile briefly flashed across his eyes.
At the same time, the eunuch in charge who was being escorted widened his eyes upon hearing this, and immediately remembered the seemingly dull and honest little eunuch under his command, who turned out not to be honest at all, but a cunning one!
"I just found out that something happened in the palace, so I accelerated the attack on the Turks. I led my troops to raid the Turkic king's tent at night, forcing the Turkic prince to lead his troops to retreat from Peizhou. I also blocked this news."
Helan Jue raised his eyes and glanced at the embarrassed mother and son on the platform, looked at their expressions of sudden realization, and smiled slightly.
"After that day, I ordered people to pretend that I was the one who stayed on the border, but in fact I led the troops to the capital, waiting for the day when the crown prince forced the emperor to abdicate."
After this explanation, anyone with a little bit of common sense in the court could figure out that the prince had failed to rebel, but was instead trapped by someone.
"What about Commander Wei Zheng? Isn't he dead?" someone asked.
The person who answered this question was not Helan Jue, but a voice that sounded weak and old.
Along with it was the familiar sound of wooden wheels rolling.
"Wei Zheng faked his death. I deliberately let him go."
In just one month, the Southern Emperor's hair had turned white and he had lost all his weight, without any trace of his former energy and spirit.
His appearance shocked the court officials, and they all knelt down after realizing what was happening.
Helan Yun and his mother were unable to speak. Their eyes were as big as bells and they made grunting sounds from their mouths.
"Your Majesty! You have not——"
"I won't let these traitors plot against me so easily!"
The Southern Emperor glanced coldly at Empress Su and Helan Yun, without any mercy in his eyes. He would no longer show any mercy to this mother and son.
He was originally worried that this mother and son would attack Helan Jue who was back in battle, but he didn't expect that they would poison him again based on the example of the fourth brother, the rebellious son!
If Jiang Xu hadn't noticed this time, and disguised himself as a eunuch to get close to him when he fell ill and was under house arrest by that vicious woman Su Yin, he would have really died!
How could he witness with his own eyes the attempt to usurp power and throne?
As for Wei Zheng, it was Wei Zheng who risked his life to inform Wei Ting about the last time when Concubine Zhao and her son colluded with Wei Ting to assassinate him. In addition, Wei Zheng had indeed never done anything treasonous before.
His only fault was that he was the son of the criminal Wei Ting. His merits and demerits offset each other, so he could only let Wei Zheng die openly and exile him to the army secretly, and then make a decision when the time comes.
Only Helan Jue and Gao Shan who was beside him knew about this.
The Southern Emperor is now only thankful that he spared Wei Zheng's life at the reminder of Helan Jue. If he were not here now, it might not be easy to subdue the Imperial Guards.
His sight fell on Jiang Xu and Helan Jue standing side by side, and he felt relieved again. Helan Jue was different from them after all, and Jiang Xu was also a good boy. If it weren't for them, he would have been able to resist the two rebellions in succession...
This vast territory might have already fallen into the hands of those two evil beasts who dared to kill their father!
"The queen is immoral, the prince is unfilial, all their titles will be revoked from today, these two will be locked up in the prison, and they must confess all the evil deeds they have done!"
Empress Su and the Crown Prince struggled hard, but were held down by the imperial guards and could not say anything.
After the Southern Emperor finished speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed several times, thinking of the will he had secretly written when he thought he would not live long. Now, his body had been tortured by those two rebellious sons and the vicious woman, and he didn't have much time left.
He already owed Helan Jue a lot, and he would have to pay it back eventually, so he might as well settle it all today.
"I am in poor health and I am afraid that I don't have much time left. Looking around at my princes, I find that none of them is capable of taking on the responsibility. When I was in danger of dying, I issued a will to pass the throne to King Dingbei. This will is still valid."
"Order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the new emperor's coronation ceremony."
"His Majesty!"
Whatever the court officials wanted to say, whether they were opposing or agreeing, was stopped by the Southern Emperor with a wave of his hand.
"I have worked hard for half my life, but now I am exhausted and it is time to rest, lest anyone plot rebellion or cause trouble. Is there anything you are still worried about the character of the King of Dingbei?"
This……
From this perspective, there is indeed no one more suitable than King Dingbei. They are just a little confused by the continuous news.
Jiang Xu looked at Queen Su, who was as withered as a dead tree, and Helan Jue, who was sneering sarcastically. He curled the corners of his lips coldly. He thought, "It's your turn to experience what Helan Jue had experienced back then."
The Southern Emperor was pushed in a wheelchair by Gao Shan to the harem, leaving all the court officials in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.
So many twists and turns happened in less than a day. Even a storybook couldn't be so exciting, right?
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was in chaos. Helan Jue ordered all court officials to return home first as there was still a lot of finishing work to be done.
Wei Zheng didn't have any thoughts on this. After he finished what he was supposed to do, his eyes just followed Su Huai.
Seeing that Su Huai was about to leave with Prime Minister Su without even looking at him, Wei Zheng subconsciously chased after him.
Jiang Xu saw this and subtly raised his eyebrows, then turned to look at Helan Jue, who stepped forward and put his hand on his shoulder, saying calmly, "Don't worry about this kind of thing for them. Ah Xu, how many times have you looked at me since I came in? We've been apart for a month and ten days."
Those cold and calm dark pupils now contained a hint of resentment.
[Some people appear calm as old dogs, but in fact: Wife, we haven’t seen each other for a month and ten days (dog eyes)]
Jiang Xu laughed and glanced at the imperial guards and palace servants who were cleaning up the mess in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as well as Commander Leng, who had excellent hearing and was now looking up at the sky. "With so many people here, what do you want me to do?"
"Then let's go home." Helan Jue took his hand very calmly and walked out of the palace.
On the way here, he had already told Commander Leng what to do. Now that he saw the person who had been thinking about the North for a long time, how could he control the desires in his heart?
This desire is not physical, but the desire to be closer to him, to look at him more, to touch him, and to kiss him.
"Don't worry about the palace affairs?" Jiang Xu asked, "His Majesty has announced that you will succeed him, and you will offend a group of people again."
"It's okay," Helan Jue's eyebrows were calm, "a group of people who have been spoiled by a life of luxury can't cause any trouble."
This is really arrogant.
But when Helan Jue said it, Jiang Xu thought he was so handsome.
However, in reality, there is indeed no one in the Southern Dynasty who is more suitable for the throne than Helan Jue.
After today, no one will be able to shake Helan Jue's position in the Southern Emperor's heart.
Since the Lingnan case, everything has been under the control of him and Helan Jue.
Wei Zheng wanted to break free from the confinement of Weibei Marquis' Mansion and the shackles brought to him by this identity, so he chose to cooperate with them. Long before the spring hunt, he had already met with the Southern Emperor and told him the plan of Wei Ting and others truthfully.
After the spring hunt, the game officially kicked off.
Even the Southern Emperor failed to realize that Helan Jue was the one behind the plot.
It is a long journey indeed, but the political affairs in the court cannot be solved by simply killing two princes.
To avenge the past, it would be too easy to kill Empress Su and her son and Concubine Zhao and her son, but death by one blow would be too easy for them.
It is easy to kill someone, but difficult to destroy his heart.
What they want is to destroy their hearts, to destroy everything that Helan Cheng and Helan Yun care about from the bottom of their hearts, and make them live in despair.
The two walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony together. Not far ahead, Jiang Zhili was waiting for them, supporting Princess Pingyang.
Jiang Xu suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Hey, if you really ascend the throne, the ministers in the court will urge you to get married, right?"
"Why are you urging me to get married? Don't I already have a princess?"
"You know what I mean. As the King of Dingbei, you may not have any offspring, but as an emperor..."
Jiang Xu seemed to glance at Helan Jue's waist inadvertently, and said in a slightly cold voice: "No matter what you think, I'm going to say this. I don't like it even if it's just a casual act. Who knows what kind of scheming little demon will come in and cause me trouble. If that day comes, I will just kick you out."
Helan Jue frowned, took a breath between his lips and teeth, and there was a hint of danger in his phoenix eyes, "What happened after the kick?"
Jiang Xu snorted and laughed: "I will open my own harem and recruit countless men with fair skin, beautiful looks, narrow waists, legs and eight-pack abs."
"you dare."
Helan Jue lowered his voice, sounding more dangerous, and tightened his grip on Jiang Xu's hand.
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Jiang Xu's strange desire to win was aroused, and he glanced back at the two guards, one tall and one short.
"Although Chen Xiao is young, he will grow up in two years. He looks like a handsome man. And Huo Ying is a little tall, but he feels safe—"
"hiss……"
Before Jiang Xu could finish his words, he was pinched by the hand that slid from his shoulder to his waist and suddenly tightened. It didn't hurt, but it felt numb and tingling.
Helan Jue knew his sensitive spots too well, and this pinch made his waist feel a little weak, because he had been doing nothing for too long.
"What?"
"Say less things that make me want to be rude to you." Helan Jue whispered.
Jiang Xu was just joking about Chen Xiao, but Huo Ying was really interesting, but she hid it well so Jiang Xu didn't find out. It's the same feeling when you like the same person, so he could naturally feel the information that Huo Ying gave off from time to time.
"Oh," Jiang Xu took advantage of Helan Jue's hug around his waist and stretched out his hand to hook his belt and flick it, "Then let me see how you can be rude."
Helan Jue lowered his eyes and looked at him without saying a word, but his eyes were much deeper.
After getting on the carriage and sending his father-in-law and mother-in-law back to the Duke's Mansion, Helan Jue pulled Jiang Xu onto the horse and headed straight for the Dingbei Palace.
