Chapter 154 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (50)

Suddenly, a white light flashed in her mind.

Although she couldn't find the whistleblower, this golden monkey was brought back by Prince Jing and was definitely related to him.

She immediately looked at Prince Jing and noticed that he was staring at Huo Haochu with a sinister look.

Shen Qingjiao understood instantly.

Prince Jing wants to take action against Huo Haochu.

The next moment, the golden monkey suddenly jumped up, stretched out its sharp claws, and was about to stab Huo Haochu's neck.

At this moment, Huo Haochu was discussing important matters with Anling King Ye Junhong and was unaware of the attack coming from behind.

When Shen Qingjiao saw this scene, her face turned pale.

In a moment of desperation, she pulled out a small bottle from her sleeve, unplugged the cap, and poured out all the pepper inside.

At this moment, the golden monkey was very close to Shen Qingjiao, and it was not at all on guard against Shen Qingjiao's actions.

When the wind blows, the spicy pepper powder goes straight into the golden monkey's nasal cavity.

The golden monkey accidentally inhaled a large amount of pepper and paused. Its sharp claws stopped just an inch away from Huo Haochu's neck and then fell down softly.

Huo Haochu already felt a strong wind coming from behind.

He turned around suddenly and saw a golden monkey with bared fangs and claws, less than half a fist away from him.

He immediately understood what had happened and raised his palm to hit the golden monkey hard on the shoulder.

The golden monkey wanted to dodge.

But its nose and eyes were full of pepper, which was itchy and painful, making it slow down its dodging movements. It was immediately hit by Huo Haochu's fist and flew far away.

Seeing this, Shen Qingjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Ye Junhong also felt relieved.

Every time he went on a secret visit and encountered an assassin, it was General Huo who risked his life to stand in front of him, and he was able to avoid several crises.

It can be said that it was with General Huo that he had the confidence to go on a secret visit. Such a powerful general must not get into trouble.

Ye Junhong was frightened and thought: Fortunately, my beloved concubine reacted quickly and stopped it for General Huo.

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, he couldn't help but speak.

"General Huo, just now, thanks to the cleverness of my beloved concubine, she threw something at the golden monkey, which slowed down its movements. Otherwise, you would have been scratched on the neck by that monkey."

Huo Haochu then realized that it was Concubine Shen who saved him.

A warm current surged in his heart, and his emotions increased a little more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help." He bowed to express his gratitude, with a hint of sob in his voice that was imperceptible to others.

Born into a family of military generals, he has always been accustomed to protecting others.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his safety was protected by a young woman.

It made him feel warm all over, as if he was bathing in the extremely rare sunshine in winter. The road ahead was clear and he was no longer lonely.

He looked up at Shen Qingjiao, the light in his eyes gradually becoming thicker, like ink that could not be dissolved.

But when the corner of his eyes touched the emperor beside her, the tenderness in his heart was filled with bitterness, as thick as a swamp in spring, trapping him in it and making him unable to struggle.

The glory of the Huo family, with three generals in one family, held him back, making him hesitate and unable to free himself.

What's more, if he had an affair with the imperial concubine, once it was discovered, it would be a serious crime that would implicate all nine generations of his family.

The lives of countless clansmen reminded him all the time that if he took even half a step out of the taboo, his entire clan would be destroyed, blood would flow everywhere, and he would be deeply sinful.

Between him and her, there will always be the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water, beautiful but out of reach.

When Prince Jing saw that Huo Haochu was safe and sound, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but this golden monkey was brought here by him, so he had to expose the matter as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty is truly smart and clever. She was able to react so quickly in such a short time." He smiled carefully.

Ye Junhong also became interested. "My dear, what did you sprinkle on the monkey? Why did its movements slow down? Was it poison?"

"It's the pepper I use to cook. The smell is too pungent and the golden monkey can't stand it, so its movements slow down." Shen Qingjiao explained with a smile.

"My beloved concubine is truly my pride." Ye Junhong laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, but that golden monkey..." Shen Qingjiao frowned slightly and looked timidly at the golden monkey struggling to get up not far away. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke.

"That beast is inhumane. I think it should be tied up with a rope to prevent it from hurting people again."

Ye Junhong's expression froze and his face instantly darkened.

He turned his head and looked at Prince Jing unhappily, "Uncle, why didn't you tie up the golden monkey with a rope? General Huo was almost injured."

Prince Jing gritted his teeth, he thought the matter was over, but Concubine Shen brought it up again, causing him to be scolded in public by his nephew and lose all his face.

But facing Ye Junhong's anger, he could only endure the humiliation and bowed, saying, "It was my negligence, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ye Junhong snorted coldly, "This evil beast cannot be kept. Uncle Emperor, please take care of it."

"Yes, I understand."

Prince Jing's face turned pale and he could only vent his anger on the golden monkey. He walked forward and kicked it hard, breaking its cervical vertebrae.

The golden monkey whimpered miserably a few times and then died completely.

Shen Qingjiao felt uncomfortable. The golden monkey, who had an elf-like beauty, became an accomplice of Prince Jing in hurting people and could only die in pain. She hoped that it could have a better life in the next life.

Prince Anling Ye Junchen quietly gazed at Shen Qingjiao's flawless profile, thinking of the scene where she had heroically rescued Huo Haochu just now, and waves of emotion surged in his heart again.

Only a woman who is so smart and has such a kind heart is worthy of being his wife.

He had been planning for today's event for a whole year. As long as the plan succeeded, he would be one step closer to the supreme imperial throne.

If one day he could ascend the throne, he would marry Shen Qingjiao as his empress and let her stay by his side forever.

"Eight hundred miles urgent report!"

Not far away, a horse was galloping towards this side, and the soldiers on the horse looked extremely anxious.

As soon as he got off the horse, he immediately ran to the outskirts of the hunting ground, bowed to Ye Junhong, and used all his internal strength to make his voice reach Ye Junhong's ears.

"I am Jin Wenfeng, the deputy general under General Xue Yongyu. General Xue accidentally fell off his horse seven days ago and broke his leg. He is unable to personally go into battle against the Turkic army."

"Therefore, I have been ordered to return to the capital to report this news to Your Majesty. General Xue has ordered me to convey this message on his behalf. I hope Your Majesty can send someone to temporarily replace him to stabilize the morale of the army."

Everyone went into the tent to discuss the matter.

Eunuch Wang Mingqing took the letter from Jin Wenfeng's hand and handed it to Ye Junhong.

After receiving the letter, Ye Junhong read it quickly, his face showing a hint of worry.

According to General Xue's letter, his leg injury will take three months to heal.

In other words, he would not be able to lead his troops into battle for three months, and the Turkic army would soon be at the gates of the city.

At this moment, Ye Junchen strode forward, half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to temporarily replace General Xue, lead the troops to fight, and drive out the Turkic army."

When he said this, his eyes were firm and he looked brave enough to sacrifice his life for the country at any time.
