The Evil King's Pampered Wife: The Concubine of the Divine Doctor

Chapter 172 Huge conspiracy

"I heard that Jingxi is back, so I came to take a look."

With just a simple sentence, Bai Zetian understood everything, immediately dismissed all the servants, and then sent someone to notify Bai Jingxi to come over.

Bai Jingxi was wearing a white padded jacket. When she walked to the hall and saw Yan Ruobing, she rushed over excitedly.

"Woooooooooo...Cousin, Jingxi misses you so much."

Seeing that Jingxi still looked like a child, Yan Ruobing patted her on the back and comforted her: "During the time my cousin left, I really worked hard on you."

After finishing speaking, the two sat down and chatted slowly while drinking tea.

"It's not hard, it's just that it's too lonely there alone, so I feel homesick."

Hearing what Bai Jingxi said, Yan Ruobing followed the topic and asked, "Is it just because I was homesick, that's why I rushed back?"

Bai Jingxi knew that Yan Ruobing had pretended to be the queen under the guise of her identity, so it was impossible for her to run back unless she had to.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Bai Jingxi had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Cousin, as you know, Yelang City is the head city of the Modu, and it is also an important transportation hub. Soon after the new emperor came to the throne, there have been frequent riots near the Modu."

"The current Demon City is no longer as prosperous and beautiful as it used to be. Instead, it is in a state of panic. Many innocent people also died under the knives of thugs for no reason."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jingxi hugged her arm and touched it with lingering fear, as if she had experienced something terrible.

Before hearing what Bai Jingxi said, Yan Ruobing really didn't know such a thing happened.

"Those who caused chaos, what is the origin?"

Jingxi shook her head, and said she didn't answer very clearly: "I don't know, but judging by the clothes and attire of those people, they don't look like people from Huangfu Kingdom, they should be people from the border of neighboring countries."

"These people have been wandering outside all year round, living in no fixed place, and there is no national control. I am afraid they have nowhere to go, so they wantonly burned, killed and looted in Yelang City."

"Don't people in the government care?"

Yan Ruobing finds it strange that although the city is close to the Great Wall, it is located in the center of the junction of the three countries.However, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the Huangfu Dynasty stationed outside the Great Wall, so for many years no rioters dared to attack the capital.

It is also because of its geographical location that the magical capital is extremely prosperous and beautiful.

Jingxi shook her head and sighed: "Don't you know, cousin? Since the new emperor came to the throne, the second prince who was originally stationed at the border has been weakened. So rampant."

"Even our pharmacy in Yelang City was looted and destroyed, so I left there and rushed back."

As she said that, Jingxi also showed a regretful and distressed expression.

After all, it was an industry they created, so if it is gone, it will be gone, how can you not feel distressed.

After hearing this, Yan Ruobing could only feel helpless.Did not expect such a thing to happen!

Some time ago, Huangfu Ao had also been in a coma and recuperating from his injuries, and he didn't care about going to the Demon City at all, which is why it was so miserable.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruobing suddenly realized something, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his mind.

The time when riots broke out in the capital city was even better when Huangfu Ao was recuperating after being assassinated.

And the uncle Guo who sent the killer escaped beyond the Great Wall afterwards.

Is it...?
Yan Ruobing made a bold guess in her heart, feeling that there was a big conspiracy behind this.

These thieves may have been deliberately arranged by someone.

Taking advantage of Huangfuao's inability to manage the court affairs, he continued to create chaos in the frontier, disturbing the lives of the people.

In this way, the people will feel dissatisfied with the ineffective control of the imperial court, and even doubt the ability of the new emperor Huangfu Ao.

Another point is that during Huangfu Ao's recovery period, she also reviewed the memorials, and no one mentioned the riots in the capital city at all.

Could it be that someone is deliberately concealing the truth, thinking that the emperor is far away, as long as no one reports, no one in the capital will know about it.

Thinking about it this way, the more Yan Ruobing thought about it, the more difficult it became.

"Cousin, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Yan Ruobing was in a trance for a while, Yan Ruobing didn't seem to hear her at all even when she spoke, Bai Jingxi had no choice but to wave her hand in front of Yan Ruobing to bring her back from her thoughts.

"No... nothing..."

Yan Ruobing restrained her mind, and did not tell Jingxi what she was thinking just now.

After all, Jingxi is just an ordinary girl, and she doesn't want to involve Jingxi in these court affairs and conspiracies.

"Jingxi, since you've come back, then rest at home for a while, don't run out if you have nothing to do, the capital is not very safe now."

Yan Ruobing reminded that Yan Ruoyu already knew about them, so she was worried that someone would harm Jingxi.

"Cousin, is the emperor okay? I also heard about the assassination of the emperor in Chaolu Temple."

Hearing that the capital city was not safe, Jingxi immediately thought of Huangfu Ao's assassination, so she asked casually.

"Well, it's all right now."

"It's getting late, and I'm going back too. If there's anything urgent, just come to me with this."

Yan Ruobing took out a small golden sign from his sleeve, which was a token that he could enter and leave the palace at will.

"Well, cousin, you are alone in the palace, you should be more careful in everything."

Jing Xi put away the things, and then personally sent Yan Ruo Bing away.

It was already late at night, and the street was very deserted, only candle lights hanging in front of some houses could be seen.

The carriage moved very slowly in the snow, leaving two deep wheel marks wherever it was rolled over.

This heavy snow came very suddenly, and it lasted for a long time. It had not stopped for eight days, and it seemed that it was about to submerge the entire imperial city.

The carriage drove on the deserted street for a while, and then stopped suddenly.

Xiaotao lifted the curtain of the car and was about to ask what happened, but saw that the coachman had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and none of the accompanying guards survived.

Five meters away from the front of the carriage, stood five masked men in black.

Those masked men in black each held a long sword in their hands, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword, dyeing the snow into blood-red plum blossoms.

A dazzling cold light emanated from the sword, giving off a cold aura.

"what……!"

Xiaotao yelled, retreated into the carriage trembling all over, and reported: "Your Majesty, there are assassins!"

Even if Xiaotao didn't say anything, Yan Ruobing had already seen it through the curtain of the car just now.

Although she couldn't guess the origins of these people, she could sense that a bloody fight was about to start.

"Stay in the carriage for a while, no matter what happens outside, don't come out!"
