Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 367
"Thank you, brother, I will definitely not let you down!" Xiao Jingyao heard the promise of marriage from Xiao Heng, and a faint smile finally appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Heng patted Xiao Jingyao's arm heavily as a sign of encouragement, but seeing Xiao Jingyao frowned slightly, as if he was holding back something, he quickly removed his big palm and asked with concern: "What? Is there some discomfort in your body?"

Xiao Jingyao shook his head, and replied disapprovingly, "It's nothing, I just got hurt a little bit!"

"Injured?" Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, fixed his gaze on Xiao Jingyao's arm, and asked in a deep voice, "How can someone be injured?"

"My brother encountered a group of assassins on his way out on a tour in Weifu, so he was injured by an arrow..." Xiao Jingyao said here, seeing Xiao Heng's face getting more and more serious, he smiled and said: "Brother emperor, don't be nervous, brother's The injury is no longer a hindrance, and it will not affect my younger brother leading troops to fight!"

"Meeting an assassin on the road..." Xiao Heng repeated these words slowly, his face darkened suddenly, and he said sharply: "It is a crime that should have happened like this!"

Compared with the angry Xiao Heng, Xiao Jingyao was much calmer, and replied in a deep voice: "My younger brother also finds it strange, this time the emperor sent my younger brother to do things, and my younger brother went on tour in disguise, no one should know his whereabouts. The assassins had already ambushed on the road, and even the arrow that hit Chendi's arm, I could see clearly that it was made by me, Dayin!"

"Hmph, it seems that someone in my court is ready to move, and wants to get rid of my right-hand man!" Xiao Heng sneered, his eyes flickered coldly, and several possible candidates had faintly emerged in his heart.

But he didn't say anything, but ordered the eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, to bring the best two bottles of Jinchuang medicine to Xiao Jingyao, and then comforted Xiao Jingyao: "Don't worry, Brother Jing, the assassination of the Luoyang King is no small matter, I don't care How can we find out who has such courage!"

With Xiao Heng's guarantee, Xiao Jingyao knew that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't say anything more, and resigned.

Until Xiao Jingyao left, Xiao Heng's face hadn't recovered from his anger.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Chen Rong, the eunuch in charge, was also a little frightened, and dared not go forward to persuade him, so he called for the servant Deng Xian.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here..." Chen Rong said in a low voice, Xiao Heng waved his hand, his frown never loosened: "Let him in!"

Attendant Deng Xian is Xiao Heng's most trusted close minister and also Xiao Heng's confidant. Even Xiao Heng and Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao discussed politics before, and attendant Deng Xian could stand behind the discussion hall and listen.

"Why did the emperor agree to marry the daughter of General Wei to the king of Luoyang?" Deng Xian asked in a low voice. Since he heard that the emperor agreed to the marriage just now, he has always been suspicious.

"Although General Wei has retired, the Wei family still holds the military power. Isn't the emperor worried that the King of Luoyang and the Wei family will suddenly join forces?"

Xiao Heng chuckled noncommittally, and said quietly, "Why do you think I didn't send my own hussar general Wei Ziyi to lead the army this time, but handed over the mission to Xiao Jingyao?"

"The emperor intends...to weaken the military power of the Wei family?" Deng Xian, the servant, suddenly understood something.

Xiao Heng smiled slightly, took a sip from his teacup, and said slowly: "Actually, I was also hesitating before. The Wei family holds military power, and Xiao Jingyao also has an army in Luoyang. If the two join forces, wouldn't it become a serious problem for me?" ?”
