Junior sister took first place again

Xue Wuying, with the help of his inner demon, escaped death from Ji Tang's sword. While treating his wounds, he immediately made arrangements to return to Beijing.

The shadow guard sent to inform the princess reported that Princess Zhaohua was not in her tent, and there was no one around. Qi Sha and others were also missing. The shadow guard searched everywhere, but found that the princess was not with the tribal elders either.

After the elders knew his purpose, Elder Hu Zhuo stood up and secretly followed the shadow guard to see Xue Wuying.

After hearing what Elder Hu Zhuo said, Xue Wuying suddenly threw away the things at hand and shouted angrily:

"What did you say? Tell me again! What do you mean the princess is missing?"

Elder Hu Zhuo dodged slightly, standing in a corner, and said, "Fourth Prince, it was Prince Zhaohua who suggested we go to the Imperial Mausoleum to investigate the situation before discussing anything. We didn't expect you to leave so easily. The Imperial Mausoleum is rife with traps, and finding you right now is incredibly difficult."

How could Xue Wuying not know that this group of people were still watching the game between the royal family and the general, and they would not personally intervene until the outcome was decided.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about these people right now, and his anger was so intense that his wounds hurt. He finally raised his hand and demanded, "How do you do things? Don't you understand the importance of passing on information? Even if you don't follow them, can't you send someone outside to monitor the situation?"

“. . . . . .”

Elder Hu Zhuo did not argue, but just lowered his head slightly and stood silently in the corner.

Xue Wuying was annoyed just by seeing him. There were many follow-up matters to deal with on the border right now. He raised his hand and pointed outside the door, "Get out!"

Elder Hu Zhuo half-bowed, turned decisively, put on his cloak and left.

Xue Wuying had been beaten by Ji Tang before, suffering severe internal and external injuries. After returning, he spent even the brief moments between doses to take his medicine attending to follow-up matters. Ji Tang's men guarded all the surrounding exits, further delaying the transmission of information.

By the time the shadow guards who were investigating the imperial mausoleum sent back the news, the sun had already set and night was deepening.

When Xue Wuying first heard that there were several corpses at the entrance of the tomb and that they were confirmed to be secret guards from the General's Mansion, his heart sank. He guessed that this might be a trap set by Ji Tang.

When news of the situation at the door of the central coffin chamber came, Xue Wuying made a prompt decision and ordered everyone to evacuate.

Ning Zhao, I'm afraid you're in grave danger. If you go back like this, it'll be hard for you to get past the Emperor.

Xue Wuying didn't care whether Emperor Ning hated him or not, because he had long been planning to usurp the throne and would never let Emperor Ning live too long.

However, everything in this world has its cause and effect. Xue Wuying, possessing Ning Yuan's body, could not personally take the Emperor's life. Therefore, Ji Yuan became the most suitable executioner.

What Xue Wuying had to do was to ascend the throne at the most opportune moment. Only in this way could he trigger the thing that created the illusion to react, and then he would know how to break it.

Now that things have come to this, he might as well take advantage of the situation and make Emperor Ning's anger even more intense, causing further chaos in the capital. Afterwards, he would definitely take the lives of Ji Yuan and Ji Tang as a memorial for Emperor Ning and his daughter.

Thinking of this, Xue Wuying immediately picked up his pen and started writing a letter, and then sent someone to issue several instructions to Ning Yuan's confidants in the capital.

After sending the letter, Xue Wuying leaned back in his chair and gently rubbed his brow. He had thought everything was under control, which was why he changed his mind and decided to keep Ning Zhao, but he hadn't expected something unexpected to happen.

Ji Tang, it was his negligence.

Now that Ning Zhao's life or death is unknown due to Ji Tang's harm, Xue Wuying sneered. Don't blame him for following the original plan.

The emperor and the general who lost their beloved daughter will surely go all out to make a decision.
