Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 439

"General Feng, please ask the strangers to stand further away."

Daiyu looked at King Xining indifferently, but spoke to Feng Tang.

Feng Tang said nothing but waved his hand. The guards immediately drove the imperial physician and the eunuchs away and he himself stood ten steps away.

On the contrary, at this moment, Situ Sheng quietly slipped out of the ear room, stood silently beside Feng Tang, and listened to the movements in the room with his ears perked up.

"On New Year's Eve, you poisoned the Linde Palace, originally targeting the Supreme Lord, but the King of the East blocked the disaster for him.

“On the eighth day of the first lunar month, someone tried to assassinate the Queen Mother in Taiji Palace, and perhaps wanted to kill the Supreme Lord, but Cheng Qian blocked an arrow for the Queen Mother.

"On the ninth day, Prince Yu entered the palace to have lunch with His Majesty, and Prince Zhongshun brought the Crown Prince to the palace to see His Majesty. In the afternoon, His Majesty left the capital with the Crown Prince and went hunting in another palace."

Daiyu spoke slowly, her eyes fixed closely on even the slightest expression on Prince Xining's face.

Sure enough, when she mentioned the assassination, Prince Yu and the Crown Prince leaving the capital, the corners of the West King's eyes twitched unconsciously.

"You traded the past with me, isn't it just for the sake of someone saving you when you return home?

"Unfortunately, at this critical moment, who will save you?

"The Emperor and the Crown Prince were trapped in Chang'an Inn the night before. The guards returned to the palace yesterday to report the news, so Your Majesty and the Queen Mother went to the 'Other Palace' together."

Daiyu's gaze shifted from Prince Xining's face to Prince Dong's, and then back again.

King Xining really couldn't suppress his joy.

The East King was shocked and opened his eyes wide: "What did you say?! Trapped!?"

Daiyu ignored him, raised her lips, and looked at the King of the West: "If it is done, you will be useless, and it would be best if you died in an accident.

"If the plan fails, they will be eager to put the blame on you. If you commit suicide at home out of fear of the crime, it will be the best excuse!

"King Jin, you use those inferior methods of the women in the harem, take a few poisonous pomegranates, harm this and that, do you think anyone will praise you?"

The King of the West was filled with horror and took three steps back!

Seeing that he didn't say a word in reply, Daiyu couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment: "So you have nothing to say?

"It seems that you, a prince, may not know the overall situation as well as our uncle Wang..."

"Great! It turns out that Wang Ziteng has such evil intentions!" The King of the West stomped his feet and cursed.

The King of the East watched Daiyu toy with this idiot with a frown of impatience. He looked around, strode to Feng Tang at the door, stretched out his hand and drew the sword from his waist!

Situ Sheng was frightened by him!

Upon seeing this, Chu Qian subconsciously leaped in front of Daiyu and blocked her tightly!

The King of the West suddenly heard a clanging sound behind him and instinctively turned around to check, only to see the King of the East rushing towards him with a sword in hand!

The Western King was so frightened that he took big steps back, shouting, "Without His Majesty the Supreme, who dares to kill me without an imperial decree?!"

The East King had a stern face and showed no mercy. He kicked him down with one foot, raised the sword with both hands, and stabbed it hard, straight into the chest of the West King!

Daiyu tilted her head slightly from behind Chu Kai, looking at the King of the West on the ground with blood gushing from his mouth, and said softly: "I am the presiding officer of this county, and your Majesty has granted me a golden medal. I will execute him first and report later.

"The guilty minister Jin Qi committed treason and murdered a number of people. According to the law, he should be cut into pieces, but now, considering his ancestors' meritorious service, he is granted death."

The King of the West could no longer speak, and blood gushed out of his mouth. Upon hearing this, his eyes were bloodshot and he turned back to look at Daiyu fiercely.

Daiyu met his gaze calmly and indifferently: "All the men in the Jin family were beheaded, the women were made slaves by the government, and their property was confiscated.

"Jin's nine clans are not allowed to enter the capital within three years, are not allowed to take the imperial examinations within seven years, and are not allowed to marry into the royal family within ten years!"

The West King's eyes widened wider and wider. He didn't even look at the East King who had killed him, but stared at Daiyu intently, and even stretched out his hand with great effort!

Daiyu looked at his bloody hand, lowered her eyes and turned away, then continued: "We, the four kings and eight dukes, are all heroes in the founding of the country. We could have enjoyed glory and wealth for generations.

"However, there is this man named Jin Qi, who is ruthless and perverse, bewitching people and acting as an accomplice to the evil, so that even the four kings and eight dukes cannot have a good beginning and a good end.

"Such a scoundrel who brings disaster to the world is despicable, hateful, pathetic and lamentable!

"General Feng, can you tell the Jin clan that this person's name cannot be recorded in the genealogy, his soul cannot be allowed to enter the ancestral temple, and his body cannot be returned to the clan!"

The King of the West howled miserably, spurted blood from his mouth, stared with his eyes wide open, and died.

The King of East stared at Daiyu, pursing his lips tightly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

I just killed someone and it was a quick death.

But this girl's tongue is like a knife, every word cuts flesh, and every word she says is heartbreaking!

The King of the West was so angry at her that he died with his eyes wide open...

Even Feng Tang hesitated for three or five breaths before he uttered the word "yes" in a low voice.

Situ Sheng's gaze shifted from Lin Daiyu, who had once again become polite, quiet and elegant, to the bloody corpse of the King of the West on the ground, with both hands covering his chest.

This Princess Zhaoqing is indeed worthy of her reputation!

Can't afford it!

They all said that she was the one who overthrew the Northern King with just a flip of her hand, so what was so great about that! ?

Look at the King of the West, he was pissed off to death by her!

"My princess, I am sorry for the injustice." Tao Han stepped forward with red eyes to comfort Lin Daiyu, "If it weren't for this mess, why would a girl like you who has never left the boudoir need to say these words?

"The Emperor has personally issued an order to have this Jin guy cut into pieces! Not only must we avenge the late Marquis Wen'an and his wife, but we must also avenge the late Empress and the little prince!

"It's a good deal for this old villain to be killed with just one sword!"

Everyone was horrified: How come the King of the West had actually harmed the current Queen?

The King of the East immediately thought that the late Queen Xiaoan had died of complications during childbirth, and also died with the newly born little prince!

King Dong just felt dizzy!

Old things!

——Don’t dwell on the past for too long!

The King of the East opened his eyes, pulled himself together, and said in a deep voice: "He is just a fool, so let him die!

"Since someone has besieged His Majesty and the Crown Prince at Chang'an Post, and now Your Majesty has been lured away from his post, there will surely be great turmoil in the capital!

"The main point now is to calm the capital!"

Daiyu nodded slightly and signaled Tao Han: "In addition to Chang'an Posthouse and the capital, there is also Jiangnan."

The King of East was shocked.

Tao Han hurriedly informed the Eastern King of Ding Mingyi's assassination and Cao Yu's departure from the capital, and also told him in detail about the serious injury of the prince at Chang'an Posthouse.

The King of the East was so shocked that he leaned his sword on the ground!

Feng Tang had come in earlier and had people drag the West King's body away. At this moment, he supported the East King with his hands and said with a wry smile:

"Uncle, do you know why I didn't leave Beijing?"

King Dong looked at Feng Tang with complicated and indescribable feelings.

Feng Tang's eyes instantly filled with tears: "My disappointing little son, His Majesty noticed that the wind in the capital was not blowing, and sent him to Chang'an Posthouse the night before last!"

The King of the East squeezed his hand tightly, straightened his back, and instantly turned into the iron-blooded veteran who had experienced many battles!

"Where is Feng Tang?!"

"Someone, is here!"

"Immediately dispatch capable personnel to secretly 'protect' Zhongshun, Zhongsu, Zhongying, Prince Yu, Prince Le, all the princesses and their husbands, and all other royal relatives!"

"Yes!"

"Situ Sheng!"

"Hmm?!?! Uh, yes, I will be here!"

"I will write you a warrant. You must immediately transfer my old guards from my mansion to the Jingji camp and take over the military seal!"

"……Yes!"
