Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 234
"It's a good way to kill people with a knife. When I kill the emperor, is the prince going to use the banner to strangle me and other traitors and thieves? Get rid of me, and don't dirty your hands. If the prince follows the public opinion and ascends the throne as king, the two stumbling blocks will be cleared away. It’s a good plan.”

Ruan Jingxin said, and gave Long Zhiyu another whip: "Unfortunately, I'm not interested in the throne, and I don't even want to be the prince's executioner."

Long Zhiyu endured the pain, and did not believe that the regent was really not interested in the throne: "If the regent doesn't believe me, he can let someone imprison me, so naturally it can't ruin your business."

"Prisoning you, making you an innocent victim, and making the world sympathize?" Ruan Jingxin was amused, does he look like such a stupid person?
The Fifteenth Prince tried to lure you again and again, as if he believed that no one could resist such a temptation: "Without me, the regent will not fight for that seat. Even if the emperor doesn't move you now, wait until the seat under him is firmly established. One will take your knife."

He lowered his voice and revealed a secret that no one had ever known: "Has the regent never thought about why the young emperor would regard you as a thorn in the side? It is because you have half of the blood of the late emperor, and you are the same as the young emperor." Brother, of course the young emperor will not let you go. You are like a thorn in his heart and a knife hanging on his head. You don’t know when it will kill him, so you must strike first. powerful."

Xie Yanniang was taken aback, Ruan Jingxin turned out to be the blood of the late emperor?
It's just that Ruan Jingxin didn't seem to be touched much after hearing it, and his face was still expressionless, as if he knew it a long time ago.

Long Zhiyu was also shocked. This secret was discovered by accident when he imprisoned the empress dowager.

He finally understood why the empress dowager and the young emperor were so afraid of the regent, not to mention holding the military power, and having the blood of the former emperor in their body, it was a great threat to the young emperor.

It's just that the foundation is stable, so the young emperor endured it and didn't get rid of the regent immediately.

When all the dust settles, the regent must die if he doesn't die!

If people know that the regent is the blood of the late emperor and the half-brother of the young emperor, everyone will favor this hard-working God of War!

How many times the Rong tribe invaded, he led the Li family army to repel them repeatedly.

It can be said that without Ruan Jingxin, Qing Kingdom would have long been a subsidiary of the Rong people, and the common people would have become subjugated slaves.

In contrast, an immature emperor, who sat in that position only because of the blood of the former emperor and the empress dowager's careful planning, was far less than the regent's expectations.

"You, you already knew?"

"So what if you know, it's not something worth caring about." Ruan Jingxin really didn't take it seriously. To him, the First Emperor was just a familiar stranger.

Even in the years of fighting side by side, the first emperor commanded him and his brothers to fight the enemy with blood.

He is just one of the soldiers, but a powerful pawn in the hands of the late emperor.

That's it.

The strength with which Xie Yanniang was held by him showed that Ruan Jingxin was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

She gently held Ruan Jingxin back, her eyes fell on him, as if telling him that she was still by Ruan Jingxin's side.

Feeling the softness of the palm, Ruan Jingxin's tense body couldn't help but relax a little.

Hearing this, Long Zhiyu mocked, "Didn't take it to heart? The regent is very angry. This is something that many people can't dream of, but you discard it like a shoe. In other words, this is the show off of the winner." ?”

He had been looking forward to it for many years, but it was the first emperor who took the throne.After finally surviving the brothers' scrambling for the throne, the first emperor also survived to death, but a young emperor came.

But how old is the child, the empress dowager pushes him to the throne, Long Zhiyu is not reconciled!

Now that the victory is within his grasp, he is about to snatch the throne back from the young emperor, but the regent is Cheng Yaojin!

Not paying attention is just an excuse, if it is true, how could he rush back to Beijing and leave the soldiers in the border towns alone?

After all, the regent is just a hypocrite, even if he wants the throne, he dare not say it.

Long Zhiyu thought he was not a good person, but he dared to act.Even if he coveted that seat, he wouldn't hide it and dare not say it at this time.

Now that the young emperor is not in trouble, as long as the regent kills him, he can easily get the throne.

Coupled with the identity of the first emperor's blood, he is not even like him. Even if he ascends the throne, he is afraid that his reputation will still be stained in the future.

Such a good thing, but dismissive?

Long Zhiyu gritted his teeth in anger, he admitted that the loser was Kou, but Ruan Jingxin's nonchalant tone was too contemptuous!

"Show off?" Ruan Jingxin asked back, looking at Long Zhiyu, playing with the whip in his hand: "Don't worry, my lord, I can do what I say. As for how to deal with you, let the emperor decide."

Long Zhiyu didn't expect that the regent would hand him over to the young emperor. Was he atonement to the young emperor?
In the hands of the young emperor, Long Zhiyu would not die, but he would be imprisoned for a lifetime.

It's better to be locked up than dead.As long as you don't die, who says there is no chance of a comeback?
Long Zhiyu was determined, and couldn't help becoming arrogant again: "The regent is not afraid that I will confess you? Leaving the border town without permission is a serious crime of beheading."

"My lord, don't worry, I won't let you have a chance to speak." Ruan Jingxin clamped his chin with one hand, and fed a pill into it in the blink of an eye.

Long Zhiyu wanted to spit it out, but the pills melted in his mouth.The familiar smell made him widen his eyes in horror, met Ruan Jingxin's gaze, opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Xie Yanniang could tell that it was the same pill as the woman who died on the couch just now!
Ruan Jingxin dug out the wound medicine from the house, and fell on Long Zhiyu indiscriminately.The wound stopped bleeding quickly, and he put a brand new robe on Long Zhiyu again. Looking from the outside, his injury couldn't be seen at all.

Ruan Jingxin put his arms around Xie Yanniang's shoulders and walked out. The latter asked doubtfully, "Is it too dangerous to leave him here like this?"

Wouldn't it be a bad thing if Long Zhiyu was rescued by the Imperial Forest Army outside?

"Don't worry, no one will come in." Ruan Jingxin replied firmly, Long Zhiyu likes to be quiet and likes to torture people.However, a court lady was called in every now and then, and the Imperial Forest Army couldn't even set foot on the gate of the palace.

Now Long Zhiyu can't speak, can't move his body, his hands are still bound and hung on the beams, and he can't break free. How can he call for help?
"Let him suffer a little bit, and then leave it to the young emperor to deal with it."

"Is your husband really planning to hand over the fifteen princes to the emperor?" Xie Yanniang followed him out of the palace and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Although what Long Zhiyu said just now was alarmist, it was not groundless.

It is an indisputable fact that the young emperor has always wanted to get rid of the regent.When the civil strife is over, the young emperor is afraid that he can gain a firm foothold, and then he will be free to deal with him.

The king wanted his subjects to die, and he had to die, Xie Yanniang's worried eyes fell on Ruan Jingxin.

Thinking of what she saw in her dream, she couldn't help holding Ruan Jingxin's big hand a little harder.

"Didn't you say that the young emperor was given medicine by the fifteenth prince?" Seeing Xie Yanniang's nod, Ruan Jingxin smiled and said, "The young emperor is hard to protect himself, and he followed the late emperor. He is suspicious by nature. , will never have the heart to find trouble with me."

Even my life is at risk, how can I have the intention to eradicate dissidents?
As soon as the two left Qionghua Palace, the black-faced guards came towards them and saluted them: "Master, the imperial forest army outside the palace has been dealt with, and the young emperor has also been found, and he is rushing here."

"Very good, follow the plan, you go to meet the emperor now." Ruan Jingxin lowered his head, and introduced to Xie Yanniang: "This is the only hidden guard around me, the princess is the first person who knows his identity besides me. "

"Dark guard?" Xie Yanniang stared at the black-faced guard, unable to see how powerful he was.

In just a quarter of an hour, maybe in a shorter time, the dozens of imperial guards outside were dealt with by this person?

She had a chill down her back, and suddenly felt that this hidden guard was too dangerous.

"This is the secret guard that the Supreme Emperor left for me. He stayed in the palace all the time. I thought he would be useless for a day." Ruan Jingxin let out a sigh of relief. The former Emperor didn't treat him very well, but the Supreme Emperor did not treat him well before he died. He still admitted himself and left behind such a hidden guard.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, the first emperor was not the most suitable person to be an emperor.

Then, if a more suitable descendant appears, the first emperor should not let him be wiped out.

It's a pity that the first emperor loved the imperial concubine so much that he still gave the throne to a child of a few years old, he was just making fun of Qing Guo.

"Does this hidden guard... have a name?" Xie Yanniang looked at the other party cautiously and asked.

"Back to the princess, the dark guards have no names, they only have one, and the subordinates are one." After speaking, the black-faced guards disappeared in place.

Number one, the leader of the hidden guards above everyone else?

Xie Yanniang did not expect that Ruan Jingxin had such a hidden guard beside her.

If he had brought the belt with him back then, wouldn't the regent not have died on the battlefield?

If he died, which master would Dark Guard One submit to?

Xie Yanniang unknowingly asked the last sentence, and Ruan Jingxin looked at her and replied: "The dark guard will only have one master in this life, and if the master dies, they will not live alone. The only exception is the master's descendants Can recover him, let the hidden guards bow their heads and surrender."

Xie Yanniang suddenly understood why the dark guard was by Ruan Jingxin's side for a while.It must be that he used tricks to make the dark guard submit to him and make the dark guard regard him as his master.

I don't know, who is the original master of the dark guard, the first emperor, or the Supreme Emperor?
The dungeon was dim, and a damp smell came over the face, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Xie Yanniang couldn't help but wonder, if the eldest princess is imprisoned here, will Long Zhiyu send someone to lynch her?
For this elder sister, Long Zhiyu certainly doesn't have much affection, let alone sympathy.

She couldn't help speeding up her pace, and saw the figure of the eldest princess in the prison at the end.

Eldest Princess Shi Shiran sat leaning against the wall, as if this was not a prison, but a pavilion in the garden, with a relaxed expression, not caring about the dirt on the ground at all.

"Is the eldest princess alright? I'll open the lock right now and get you out."
