Dijun, your bride ran away again

Chapter 325 The Root of Evil

Xiao Yanxiang's heart trembled when he heard these words.

He squinted his eyes, and his slightly haggard face showed a bit of ruthlessness. He has been in the court for more than 30 years, and he has gone through ups and downs after two emperors.

Today's Xiao family seems to be powerful, but it is not as good as before. Marquis Yong'an in the court is his enemy everywhere, and Han Xiangguo is a cunning one.

The Prince Regent who monopolizes the power of the government is even more unfathomable and elusive.

If they are not careful, their Xiao family will be doomed, so he must not let that secret leak out!
"King Ling is now highly valued by the emperor, and it would be difficult to attack him. Besides, we did nothing about what happened back then, so even if he investigates, he can't find anything."

Xiao Yanxiang could only convince himself in this way, he stroked his hands and rubbed his head and said, "It's better to plan for the future than to worry about what happened in the past."

He raised his eyebrows, with deep meaning in his words.

Xiao Lilan understood it clearly, and sighed softly: "This matter is even more difficult. The regent is very ambitious. If he says that he has no intention of replacing him, no ghost will believe it! Therefore, if we want to act, we have to..."

As soon as she finished her voice, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.

The so-called mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind, although Ye Hongze has abandoned the government for a long time, but this person was able to win the throne from among the princes back then, and he was still very capable.

Thinking about it, he doesn't want this country to fall into the hands of his good brother, does he?
What's more, there is no brotherhood in this world, only rights and interests.

Xiao Yanxiang knew that this matter was complicated and could not be accomplished overnight, so he told his daughter: "This matter is a long-term plan, you must be careful during this time."

Xiao Lilan nodded, and hurriedly asked: "Did father deal with that thing?"

Xiao Yanxiang replied: "Don't worry, I'm hiding in a very safe place, no one will find it."

After a pause, he asked again, "Why did you keep that thing?"

Xiao Lilan said: "Why do I want to keep it? But that thing is so weird that it cannot be destroyed at all, and I dare not throw it away at will."

If it wasn't for the secret letter, she wouldn't have thought of sending that thing out, just because what the letter said was too horrifying, she couldn't afford to bet.

Xiao Yanxiang didn't ask any more questions, he hurried away when he saw that it was getting late, and went to the morning court.

Lying on the soft couch, Xiao Lilan thought of the secret letter she received a few days ago, which said that King Ling and Wu Zhu had gone to Xiushui Village in Luohe Town.

It was such a short sentence, but it made her feel like she was facing a big enemy.

She also thought of 22 years ago, that was her nightmare, the knot in her heart that she could never untie in her life, and the root of her pain and sin.

……

The news of the assassin breaking into the palace passed like a breeze without any trace.

But a major event happened in the court.

Wu Zhu of Nanzhao came back from seclusion for King Ling to exorcise evil spirits. Not only that, King Ling also asked for a marriage, to marry Qian Mingxiang, the daughter of Yong'an Houfu.

Feeling ashamed of Ye Mingjue, Ye Hongze agreed to the marriage without hesitation, promulgated the decree of bestowing the marriage, and at the same time promulgated the imperial decree to confer Nanzhao witch Zhu as the national teacher.

As soon as the two imperial edicts came out, they spread all over the streets and alleys immediately, and became the talk of everyone after dinner.

In the Wuxiang building.

When Mu Changting got the news, he immediately exploded. He slammed the table and went to find Ye Mingjue with a cold face. Unexpectedly, before he left, Ye Mingjue came here first.

He stepped up to the third floor with ease, and heard Feng Mobai's weak voice from a distance: "My aunt, please let me go, my two legs are about to break after running with you."
