The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

Eunuch Hong looked at the tip of the sword that pierced his chest in disbelief. When everyone else stopped, someone actually dared to attack him.

Eunuch Hong, who was standing on the eaves of the palace, fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Aunt Jinning was stunned. This was the palace guard of Cining Palace, the one who was truly responsible for protecting Empress Dowager Xie. Unlike Aunt Jiang, who had a strong will and a bad temper, Eunuch Hong obeyed Empress Dowager Xie's every word.

And now, he was killed right in front of her.

The secret guards of the Cining Palace were also dumbfounded. After all, they all stopped obediently, but they didn't expect that the Xiaoying would take action instead.

Su Jixue glanced coldly at Eunuch Hong, who died with his eyes wide open, and warned him lightly, "Aunt Jinning, don't take this man's body. I suspect he is in cahoots with Madam Jiang."

"Walk."

After saying that, Su Jixue rushed to the Golden Palace first.

Twenty-one brought the Owl Camp and followed directly.

They quickly disappeared into the night.

Aunt Jin Ning looked at the situation in front of her in confusion. She didn't expect that Su Jixue and the others would just kill someone and leave, and even throw dirty water on Eunuch Hong.

Soon, Aunt Jin Ning's face turned pale. She had already thought that Empress Dowager Xie would be furious when she knew about this.

But Su Jixue didn't care about Aunt Jinning's reaction or the reaction of Cining Palace at all.

Su Jixue just wanted to meet the King of War as soon as possible and tell him this crucial news.

Before reaching the Golden Palace, Su Jixue saw King Zhan and his entourage from afar. Not only King Zhan, but Emperor Ming was also rushing here at this moment.

"Jun is innocent! Zong Kui ran away!"

Originally, Su Jixue didn't want to say this and wanted him to send someone directly, but when he saw Emperor Ming and the Dongchu officials, Su Jixue directly dropped a heavy bomb.

"What did Miss Su say?! Zong Kui ran away?!"

"real or fake?!"

"... "

Discussions arose.

Emperor Ming's face suddenly darkened. He knew that Zong Kui could use that confidential matter to threaten him, but he didn't expect that he would be so careless when it came to him. How did Su Jixue know that he had run away?

If the War King knew about this, it would be understandable, after all, his men were guarding the city gates.

But now it was Su Jixue who talked about this.

Su Jian's expression was particularly grim. His way of being an official was to be moderate and low-key. However, Su Jixue alone had overturned everyone's opinion.

Especially in the matter of Zong Kui, for a rich lady like her to get involved like this is not good for her reputation or anything else.

Fortunately, there are no other young ladies in the Su family now, otherwise it would bring shame to the reputations of all the sisters.

"Your Majesty." After Su Jixue finished speaking, she turned her gaze directly to Emperor Ming. She could guess that if Empress Dowager Xie hadn't intervened in Zong Kui's departure, then Emperor Ming would have been the one.

Now, Emperor Ming can't expect to stay out of this trouble.

"Please light the signal smoke and mobilize the Qianji Division to notify all towns along the way to surround Zong Kui. We absolutely cannot let him return to Nanqing!"

In a moment, Su Jixue had thought of all the countermeasures.

Now, not only the War King’s people, but the entire Dongchu must make the arrest of Zongkui a top priority.

The discussion stopped abruptly.

All eyes were focused on Su Jixue with questioning eyes, and everything was said without words.

The Qianjichu, similar to the Nanqing Liudao Pavilion, was a secret agency of Dongchu directly under Emperor Ming. It was responsible for arranging secret agents in the other five kingdoms, gathering intelligence, and supervising officials in its own country.

Su Jixue is just a daughter of the prime minister, yet she dares to use the Qianji Department lightly. You should know that even Su Jian does not dare to criticize the Qianji Department. And this is a group of people that even the King of War cannot command, and they only obey the orders of the current emperor.

Emperor Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp. He didn't expect that Su Jixue would dare to have feelings for Qianjichu. Could this be the idea of ​​King Zhan?

Emperor Ming cast a scrutinizing gaze upon Prince Zhan: "The Prince Regent has only half cured the poison. Is there a misunderstanding?"

"Yeah, how could someone just leave after only removing half of the poison?!"

"Miss Su, please don't exaggerate!"

"That's right, isn't he afraid of dying from the poison?!"

"How did Miss Su know that Zong Kui ran away?!"

"Has this news been verified?!"

The court officials questioned each other one by one.

Everyone was tense and exhausted tonight. Seeing Su Jixue say such exaggerated words, the pressure on everyone suddenly increased, and they immediately directed their spearheads at Su Jixue.

The War King couldn't help but snort coldly.

Everyone immediately dropped their voices and only then noticed the War King's cold eyes.

The War King's gaze finally fell on Emperor Ming: "Where is Zong Kui now?"

Emperor Ming was stunned. Only then did he realize that the War King's outline was very similar to that of the late emperor, especially his narrow and icy eyes, which were almost exactly the same as the late emperor's when they became cold.

Zong Kui's words echoed in his mind again. This was the only remaining bloodline of the late emperor.

It is also his threat.

Emperor Ming's eyes were filled with dark clouds, and he said in a deep voice: "Isn't the Regent behind the scenes?!"

"The last person he saw after leaving Cining Palace was my royal brother." Prince Zhan said calmly, not caring at all about being questioned about whether he had planted spies in the palace.

"What do you mean?!" Emperor Ming frowned and looked at King Zhan coldly.

If he could maintain superficial politeness with the War King before, under the influence of Zongkui's words, Emperor Ming now finds the War King hateful no matter how he looks at him.

The more guilty you feel, the more hateful you find yourself.

"Zongkui has left the Cining Palace. Eunuch Hong of the Cining Palace was Zongkui's accomplice. He wanted to assassinate me, but he has been executed." Su Jixue directly took over the words of Emperor Ming.

"However, he successfully stopped me from pursuing Zong Kui."

Su Jixue's peach blossom eyes were cold at this moment. She recounted the events she had just known out of order, and it immediately became a different meaning.

All the ministers were surprised.

"Your Majesty, I am not discussing this with you. If you do not follow my advice, regardless of whether the previously signed treaty can be fulfilled, Your Majesty will definitely leave a mark in the history of Dongchu." Su Jixue looked directly at Emperor Ming and said bluntly.

"Su Jixue, what do you mean?!" Emperor Ming was almost furious. He did not expect that a mere daughter of a prime minister would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you should know what the previously signed contract means to Dongchu, so if you let Zongkui go back to the mountains, don't expect him to keep his promise." Su Jixue raised her chin, and the kind of arrogance and dignity that even princesses and noble ladies could not match emanated from her bones.

"But this is not the most crucial thing. When I was surrounded, I heard something that could change the world situation."

"What?!" Emperor Ming actually didn't know why Zong Kui was so anxious to leave. He was actually afraid that he had made the wrong decision.

There was even a glimmer of hope that Zong Kui might be trying to blow him up.

"Emperor Jing of Nanqing is dead, and the Nanqing royal family has no heir. If Zongkui remains, Nanqing will be in chaos!" Su Jixue looked at Emperor Ming with cold eyes. "Your Majesty, please light the signal smoke and have the Qianji Office notify the counties along the way and seal off the border. This is Dongchu's only chance to annex Nanqing."

"Whoever stands in the way will be a sinner for all eternity!"
