The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yucheng was drunk after all. Xiao Yurong thought that he couldn't just leave him here. After thinking it over, he decided to send him back to his prince's mansion first.

Xiao Yucheng had just gotten drunk and thrown away all the servants. Xiao Yurong asked Cuicui to call a carriage, and now she could only support Xiao Yucheng and walk out of the palace gate by herself.

Passing by the Thousand Carp Pond, besides the sound of the whistling wind, one could also hear the whispers of one or two people.

I thought it might be some secret of the imperial palace, so I just eavesdropped when I had nothing to do and had fun.

"Fourth brother, do you want to hear some interesting gossip?" Xiao Yurong's eyes sparkled.

"I don't want to listen. Eavesdropping is not what a gentleman does!" Xiao Yucheng shook his head.

If there were any interesting stories on weekdays, Xiao Yucheng would pull Xiao Yurong aside to tell them early. Now that he was drunk, he acted like a gentleman.

Xiao Yurong sneered: "Don't come on."

"If you don't want to listen, don't bother me." Xiao Yurong dragged the staggering Xiao Yucheng to hide beside a tree, and then he moved closer to eavesdrop.

The sound came out vaguely.

"I want to recruit you. You said you would consider it, and the master will give you time. But now the master wants to accomplish something big, and Xuancheng is the only way from his fiefdom to Yujing. Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"This……"

"You also know that the master is a prince, and was personally appointed by the previous emperor as the King of Wen. When the time comes, it will be considered legitimate. Besides, the master has a strong army, so why should we worry about not being able to take over Yujing?"

"I know all this, but I also have to take my family's lives into consideration. Although His Majesty has been ill for a long time, the prince's prestige is growing, and all the court officials are obedient. If this matter is exposed, the whole family will be executed."

Xiao Yurong was stunned. One of the people in the conversation was Xu Chen, and the other person was hidden behind a tree and could not be seen clearly. He thought he should be King Wen's subordinate.

They actually planned to do this? Treason, betrayal, treason...

In the previous life, the rebels were powerful, and the Xiao family was already in decline under the siege of many groups. The empire was on the verge of collapse, and Xu Chen betrayed his old master at this time.

But in this life, it happened earlier. When King Wen rebelled, Xu Chen actually wanted to surrender without a fight, offer Xuancheng and deceive his former master.

Moreover, King Wen's rebellion in the previous life did not cause much waves, because King Wen's ambition was exposed by the Minister before he sent out his troops.

The Cui clan immediately gathered their troops and prepared to encircle and suppress King Wen. Cui Ci Ning even went straight into the enemy camp in the middle of the night and killed the defenseless King Wen.

Their lord was dead, and the soldiers under King Wen surrendered without a fight and submitted to the imperial court.

Could it be that at this time in his previous life, Xu Chen already had rebellious intentions?

Xiao Yurong didn't know how the Minister discovered King Wen's evil ambitions, but if Xu Chen really let the wolf into the house, then Yujing would be in danger.

I had originally thought of killing him another day, but now it seems Xu Chen wants to get rid of him first and then as soon as possible.

The night is long and dreams are many. She had to act as soon as possible, at least kill him before Xu Chen left Beijing.

When did Xu Chen leave Beijing? Xiao Yurong recalled anxiously that Xiao Yuxie seemed to have told her that Xu Chen was a garrison commander and could not leave Xuancheng for too long. It seemed that he would leave tomorrow.

Then we can only... Xiao Yurong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Chen. A bright light flashed in his eyes, extremely sharp.

"I say, sister..." A hand was placed on her shoulder. She looked over and saw Xiao Yucheng, who had just been hidden, sneaking over from nowhere. "You left your fourth brother alone to eavesdrop, didn't you? What good news is that? Let me hear it."

Xiao Yucheng was drunk when he spoke, and he had completely forgotten that he had just pretended to be a gentleman and was disdainful of listening to other people's affairs.

It so happened that the two men continued their conversation.

"We also understand your concerns, but you should also think that if the matter is successful, once the master takes over Yujing, he will definitely reward you well."

"May I ask how King Wen plans to reward his meritorious officials?"

"As far as we know, not long ago, the fourth prince Xiao Yucheng was ordered to go to Xuancheng to inspect and comfort the soldiers. He was very popular, and even you, the legitimate superior, were forgotten. There are even rumors in the army that you are not as good as him."

"...What do you want to say?"

"Xiao Yucheng is said to have the spirit of Emperor Gaozu. It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son. When he was in Xuancheng, he also found out a lot about you neglecting training and violating military discipline. He scolded you in front of all the soldiers and punished you with ten military sticks to serve as a warning to others, right?"

"Shut up! Who is Xiao Yucheng? He is just a dandy boy who relies on his father's protection! Do those people really respect him? Do they really love him? Are they still following the style of Emperor Gaozu? Tiger Ancestor? Haha! How ridiculous! But they only think of him because of his status as a prince!"

"It seems that you really hate him. If you can help the master achieve great things, you will be second only to the emperor in the future. What is Xiao Yucheng? He is just showing off his power. You can have a higher position than him!"

"Okay! Since King Wen has this intention, I am willing to serve him!"

The conversation ended and the footsteps became farther and farther away until they disappeared.

The two people must have gone far away. The only sound around was the bleak wind and the ripples caused by the fish's tails. It was quiet and lonely.

Xiao Yurong turned to look at Xiao Yucheng, who had just listened to the conversation. Xiao Yucheng was hanging his head and unconsciously pulling at the ring around his waist.

"Sister, am I really... that bad?" Xiao Yucheng asked in a muffled voice.

Xiao Yurong was stunned.

Xiao Yucheng continued, "I thought they all truly loved me and thought I was doing a good job. It turns out that they only valued my title of prince."

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "That's right. In the past, Emperor Gaozu fought against the barbarians and was called the Tiger Ancestor. How can I be said to have the spirit of Emperor Gaozu? I am too arrogant."

"I will report King Wen's rebellion to my father right away." Xiao Yucheng forced himself to cheer up. He was still drunk and was about to leave in a hurry when he was grabbed by Xiao Yurong.

"Brother." Xiao Yurong held him back.

Xiao Yucheng turned around and saw Xiao Yurong looking at his features very seriously. He said, "Fourth brother, you did a great job."

Xiao Yucheng was stunned, the blush on his face from the alcohol had not yet faded, he looked a little funny, and asked stupidly: "Am I, am I really okay?"

"Of course." Xiao Yurong said with a smile, "You are my brother."

She persuaded Xiao Yucheng: "Those two villains are just jealous of your talent, your wide circle of friends and your good popularity, so they are red-eyed and keep slandering you. As a prince, how could you lose confidence for such insignificant villains?"

Xiao Yurong talked incessantly, and Xiao Yucheng was stunned. Finally, he pressed Xiao Yurong's shoulder with sparkling eyes.

He said excitedly: "I said, I'm not that bad! Rongrong, you're right! I shouldn't give up on myself because of them!"

Xiao Yucheng had already regained his confidence with the comfort of his sister. He was free and easy by nature and was just sad for a moment. After being persuaded by Xiao Yurong, he quickly cheered up.

"I will go and tell my father about this right away!" He did not forget the important matter.

Xiao Yucheng was about to leave when he was pulled back by Xiao Yurong. He looked at his sister with confusion.

"You are drunk now and you can't even walk in a straight line. Why are you going to report to the emperor?" Xiao Yurong said, "Leave this matter to me."

Xiao Yucheng was a little worried, "Is it okay?"

"What? Fourth brother is doubting my ability now?" Xiao Yurong asked back.

"No, no." Xiao Yucheng waved his hands quickly and said, "Then let Rongrong handle this matter."

Seeing that Cuicui was already approaching from a distance, Xiao Yurong said, "Cuicui is right in front. I'll ask them to take you back home. You don't have to worry about me."

Since Xiao Yurong said so, Xiao Yucheng no longer insisted. He walked towards Cuicui obediently and went back home obediently.

Watching Xiao Yucheng walk away, Xiao Yurong calmed herself down. She had more important things to do now, so she decided to find a place to kill Xu Chen secretly.

Just now when Xiao Yucheng was there, she suppressed her anger and didn't show it.

So that's how it is. Just because Xiao Yucheng lost face for Xu Chen in public and punished him for violating military discipline, and he is more popular in the army than Xiao Yucheng, so he had to treat Xiao Yucheng like that.

Xu Chen had already betrayed the Xiao family without waiting for them to show signs of decline.

Just because of a few words of praise from the army, Xu Chen was going to sew the tiger head and Xiao Yucheng's body together and parade them through the streets for public display, so that Xiao Yucheng would not be able to die in peace and would not even have a complete body.

Xiao Yurong clenched his palms and forced himself to calm down.

Now there is no legitimate reason, no one would believe it without evidence, but Xiao Yurong can't wait any longer.

She summoned several Fuyang Guards from the Water Department and ordered them to lead a team out of the palace immediately to kill Xu Chen's family members who had followed Xu Chen to Beijing but were not qualified to enter the palace.

"Clear the roots, don't leave even a dog behind." Xiao Yurong ordered.

Several Fuyang guards looked at each other, hesitant.

There is no legitimate reason, no conclusion, just based on Princess Zhaoyang's words, they are innocent and they are going to confiscate the whole family of the guard. If the truth is revealed, they will be blamed...

Most of the Fuyang Guards in the Water Department are children of aristocratic families. They are responsible for guarding the royal family and handling official affairs. They all have a bright future.

Cui Ci Ning used to be the emperor's guard, always close to Yan. If he were to be put in the present, he would also be a member of the Water Department, but the most outstanding one.

If you want to guard the emperor, you have to rely on your parents for military and literary skills, as well as your looks. Family background, talent, martial arts, and appearance are all indispensable. In the future, you will naturally be a dragon among men.

Precisely because most of the members of the Water Tribe are from such clans and are of noble birth, they are also the least obedient to Xiao Yurong among the four tribes of Fuyang Guard.

"Don't you understand what I said?" Xiao Yurong's expression suddenly turned cold, his eyes were like cold stars, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry. "Don't forget who Fuyang Guard listens to."

"Princess, please forgive me!" The men immediately knelt down, carefully raised their heads to observe Xiao Yurong's expression, and asked, "It's just a confiscation of property... What's the charge?"

Xiao Yurong sneered and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Plotting treason."

“Princess…” Mizube Fuyangwei raised his head tremblingly.

"Isn't what I said clear enough? Find out who your master is." Xiao Yurong's cold voice came from above his head, his eyes cold and beautiful.

"Yes." They lowered their heads and stood up to do what their master had told them to do.

As for Xu Chen... Xiao Yurong took a deep breath and did it herself.

Xu Chen walked around the garden and was about to walk through the corridor pavilion when someone called him.

"Lord Xu." The voice sounded like the sweet and long-lasting aftertaste of mulberry wine, or the nectar of eternal spring.

The inky night swallowed up all the light, leaving only a long row of palace lanterns and an eerie crescent moon hanging alone on the bare branches, emitting a cold and bleak light.

In such a situation, the voice coming from behind was strange and contemptuous, making people feel slightly dizzy and as if they were in another world.

Xu Chen turned his head and saw a girl in moon-white clothes standing under the bright lights.

When the wind blew, she seemed as if she was about to fly away with the wind, her stunning beauty was unmatched, like a beauty lamp as bright as daylight.

Xu Chen quickly bowed, "General Xu Chen greets Princess Zhaoyang."

"I just chatted with my drunk brother for a while, which delayed my departure from the palace. I didn't expect to run into Lord Xu here. Isn't this a coincidence?" Xiao Yurong said as she gradually approached.

Xu Chen was about to say something but was interrupted by Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong approached, still talking to herself: "My fourth brother has a kind nature, is straightforward and free and easy, and will repay anyone who treats him well with all his heart. He is drunk, and I was afraid that he would be cheated, so I asked Cuicui to keep an eye on him and send him back first."

Xu Chen suddenly had a strange illusion. Xiao Yurong did not give him a chance to speak. She kept talking to herself, as if explaining why she was here alone, and was getting closer and closer.

"Princess Zhaoyang..." Xu Chen subconsciously took a step back.

"Why did Lord Xu take a step back? Are you dissatisfied with me, so you don't want to talk to me more?" Xiao Yurong smiled.

"I dare not, but... um!" Xu Chen was about to explain when a dagger suddenly stabbed into his chest.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the dagger that was stuck in his chest, then looked along the hand holding the dagger to the person who killed him.

Xiao Yurong pulled out Ye Xing and thrust it into Xu Chen's chest again. This time the target was clear: Xu Chen's heart.

Blood splattered on Xiao Yurong's face, leaving bloodstains all over it, but she seemed not to notice anything and pulled out Ye Xing again.

Ye Xing is a family heirloom passed down from the head of the Wang family. The blood on it did not stick to it and just slid along the blade to the tip and fell directly down.

A secret smile finally appeared on Xiao Yurong's pale face, which, against the bloodstains on her cheeks, made her look even more eerie and beautiful.

Blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth. Xu Chen knelt on the ground with his eyes open, then fell to the ground again, without a breath.

Until his death, Xu Chen never thought that he would die in this way, nor did he understand why Xiao Yurong wanted to kill him.

Seeing Xu Chen falling to the ground with his eyes open in death, Xiao Yurong laughed happily as if he had gotten his revenge, having dealt with his enemy so cleanly and neatly.

She kicked Xu Chen with the tip of her shoe and began to think about how to destroy the body.

Xiao Yurong squatted down and confirmed for the last time that Xu Chen had died at his hands.
