Taking the blame for the fake daughter: After being released from prison, she went on a killing spre
Chapter 148: Encirclement and Murder of Xuan Mo
Su Yunling lay in the carriage for ten days, watching the scenery along the way become increasingly desolate and the wind grow stronger.
On the eleventh day, Prince Su received news from Shangjing:
Emperor Jing Zhao appointed the second prince as the crown prince.
This news surprised everyone except Su Yunling.
Especially the Prince Su and his wife, they had heard Su Yunling make a bet with them about this matter earlier.
Su Yunling actually made the right bet!
At noon, when the group was resting in the valley, Prince Su's eyes completely changed when he looked at Su Yunling.
"How did you know about this?"
The emperor's succession is a major national event and will not be leaked before the time is right.
If he had known that what Su Yunling said was true, he would have made other arrangements earlier and would not have been so passive.
It seems that I have to pay more attention to what my daughter-in-law says in the future.
Su Yunling used a wooden stick to dig out the sweet potatoes buried under the fire, and said nonchalantly:
"Of course it's because I have someone in the palace!"
Prince Su and his wife were horrified. "You have placed spies around Emperor Jing Zhao? How is that possible?"
The two said almost in unison.
Emperor Jing Zhao was suspicious by nature, and the people who served him were all his trusted confidants who had been screened through layers of screening and would be investigated thoroughly. Who could have the ability to place spies around the emperor?
Moreover, even his personal servants might not know the contents of his secret decree.
In other words, Su Yunling's spy is not only a close friend of Emperor Jing Zhao, but also has considerable power.
But how did Su Yunling do it?
Who is her person?
Su Yunling smiled mysteriously. She only said that there was an informant. Who said it had to be a human?
Her tone was slightly apologetic: "For the safety of that person, I can't tell you, but as long as I want, I can know everything that Emperor Jing Zhao does."
Although Prince Su was curious, he also understood the seriousness of the matter, so he naturally did not continue to ask questions. He just looked at Su Yunling again, and his eyes had already put aside all his prejudices and added a hint of obvious appreciation.
In addition to the news of Emperor Jingzhao's appointment of a crown prince, the spies also brought back two other pieces of news:
Prince Rui was deprived of his throne by Emperor Jing Zhao, who wanted to demote him to a commoner.
Rumors spread in the city that the national teacher Xuan Mo was transformed from a monster and would bewitch the emperor's heart. If one wanted peace and prosperity for the country, he must be killed.
"The capital city is about to be in chaos." Princess Su said helplessly.
Although the Second Prince has decent aptitude, he is too weak and has never thought about participating in the fight for the crown prince position. But now, he has suddenly received an imperial decree, and he may not be able to accept this great "blessing".
So whether it is a blessing or a curse remains to be determined.
The eldest prince and the third prince would never hand over the throne to a sickly person. They will definitely mobilize their own forces to achieve their own goals.
A bloody storm is inevitable.
Prince Su looked towards the direction of the capital, his eyes gradually firmed, "We must hurry up and deploy as soon as possible..."
"Eat your fill before continuing your journey!" Su Yunling distributed a roasted sweet potato to each of the people around him.
Princess Su took a sip and was immediately captivated by the sweet and soft taste.
"What is this? I've never tasted it before." She looked at the steaming orange-red flesh with surprise on her face.
There are currently no sweet potatoes and potatoes in Dayin, so it is normal that they have not been eaten.
Su Yunling also asked the golden eagle to bring back sweet potato vines from another country. She tried to plant them near her own medicinal field, and finally harvested a small pile.
"This is a vegetable brought from the outer vassal states. It can be used as a staple food and is even more filling than corn."
Prince Su was pleasantly surprised, yet helpless: "This is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that it won't survive without water."
"These sweet potatoes can survive in soft sandy soil. If the climate in the vassal state is not too bad, the people can fill their stomachs by growing this crop," said Su Yunling.
"I am very pleased that you have this intention. Even if this thing cannot survive in the vassal state, it can still benefit the people of Great Yin."
Obviously, compared with Emperor Jingzhao, Prince Su is more suitable to be the ruler of a country.
Because his vision and mind can accommodate the people of the world, but Emperor Jing Zhao is short-sighted. Instead of benefiting the people, he wants to use the imperial power to satisfy his own desires...
On the second day after Emperor Jing Zhao announced the candidate for the crown prince, Prince Rui escaped from prison.
He is now completely convinced that Emperor Jing Zhao has been bewitched by the imperial teacher and is no longer the brother who used to protect him in every way.
If that's the case, why should he remain loyal to him?
He decided to join forces with the eldest prince to force the emperor to abdicate, but before that, he had to kill Xuan Mo first.
Su Yueying knew that the forbidden technique Xuan Mo used to control Emperor Jing Zhao would hurt his foundation.
So he would go into seclusion on the fifteenth of every month, which means that the fifteenth of every month was when he was at his weakest.
If his practice is interrupted during his retreat, he will most likely go astray, his tendons and veins will be broken, and his internal organs will be damaged.
Even if we don't kill him, he might not survive.
These were all told to her by Xuan Mo himself in the past, and now she could use them to her advantage and put him to death.
And tonight is exactly the fifteenth.
According to the spies in the palace, Xuan Mo was not in the Sitianjian.
His whereabouts are unknown.
"I know where he is." Su Yueying remembered the secret room in the cave that Xuan Mo had taken her to when Su Yunling poisoned her.
So, Su Yueying took Xiao Nanchuan and fifty elite soldiers with high martial arts skills and set off for Qilin Mountain.
Although Su Yueying's sense of direction was not strong, with the help of the system, she found Xuan Mo's secret cave room in Qilin Mountain without much effort.
The cave is located about thirty feet above the stone wall. The stone wall is relatively smooth, and only masters with excellent lightness skills can climb up.
Among the elite soldiers brought by Xiao Nanchuan, more than twenty of them had good lightness skills, so he took Su Yueying and those elite soldiers with good lightness skills up together.
The rest of the people stayed outside the cave to provide support. If Xuan Mo escaped, he would be killed without mercy.
The bright moonlight shines on the entrance of the cave, and it becomes darker as you go deeper.
Xiao Nanchuan blew up the fire stick and the group continued to move deeper into the cave with the faint light.
Soon, three branch caves appeared at the end of the main cave. With the help of the system, Su Yueying accurately selected the cave entrance in the middle.
After walking a little further inside, a stone gate blocked the way.
Su Yueying pressed down a protruding brick on the stone wall and opened the stone door.
As the stone door rose, Xuan Mo was seen sitting cross-legged and flirting on the ice bed in the room.
Perhaps he was startled by the sudden noise, a few painful expressions appeared on his face, and sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Xuan Mo, surrender! You have nowhere to escape..." Xiao Nanchuan drew out his sword and stabbed forward, and the others were also ready to attack.
Just when the tip of Xiao Nanchuan's sword was about to touch Xuan Mo's body, the group was knocked over by a wave of air that suddenly exploded from his body.
Su Yueying was dizzy from the shock. When she stood up again, her mouth was full of fishy-sweet taste. She turned her head and coughed up a mouthful of blood foam.
Others only suffered minor skin injuries. This is the difference between practicing internal protective skills and not practicing internal skills.
When Xiao Nanchuan saw Su Yueying injured, he instantly became furious. He drew his sword and stabbed Xuan Mo again. This time, Xuan Mo finally opened his eyes, raised his palm to catch the sword and shook it away.
The others took the opportunity to rush forward and besiege Xuan Mo. Xuan Mo, who was already weak, had his cultivation interrupted, causing his meridians to reverse and causing him to suffer extreme pain.
So when faced with a round-robin battle with dozens of masters, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Su Yueying looked at Xuan Mo who was stabbed by several swords and couldn't suppress her excitement.
"You can't blame me for this. Who told you to be so ungrateful and refuse to help me? Then go die. You deserve it..."
