Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 172 Bloody Cuckoo
"Since Jing'er doesn't believe Ruier...is the culprit, then we'll...confront each other in court. Cough cough..."

"Uncle Emperor, you're awake, I'll take your pulse." I heard the voice and hurried to the bed, saw the emperor opened his eyes, sat down and put my hand on his pulse gate to check his injury.After a while, I let go and said, "It's okay, as long as you pull out the dagger again, you will recover after a while." Then I turned my head and said to Situ Jing, "Brother Jing, go out and bring in some hot water. Pull it out." Situ Jing responded and walked out.Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly stopped and said: "Wait!" Situ Jing hurriedly stopped when he heard this, and looked back at the emperor. "Don't be in a hurry to pull out the dagger. Jing'er will find Rui'er for me first, and I will ask him clearly in person," the emperor said weakly.I dissuaded from the side: "No, Uncle Emperor. If you don't pull out the dagger, it may endanger your life, so you should pull out the dagger first." The emperor waved his hand lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I can still hold on. Cough cough..." Seeing that the emperor was so persistent, I couldn't say anything, so I nodded at Situ Jing, signaling him to obey the emperor's words.

Just as Situ Jing was about to go out, he heard a commotion inside and outside. Situ Rui opened the curtain and stepped into the inner room. "What's the matter?" Pointing to the blood on the ground, he shouted, "Why is there a puddle of blood?" I turned around and said, "An assassin broke in just now, and was stabbed by brother Jing." Situ Rui's face became panicked. Asked: "How is the father? Has he been stabbed by an assassin?" I said: "No, Uncle Emperor was just a little frightened and resting on the bed." Hearing this, Situ Rui hurriedly came to the bedside to visit and said: "Father, how do you feel?" The emperor shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry." I used a trick to hide the dagger on the emperor's chest in advance, so in Situ Rui's eyes, the emperor just looked a little pale , but there is no serious problem.Situ Rui nodded, then turned his head and asked: "Cousin Jing, where is the assassin, have you caught him?" Situ Jing shook his head and said, "No, he ran away." Just go and order people to search the palace, and we must find the assassin." Then he walked out.

"Brother Rui, wait a minute." Seeing that Situ Rui was about to leave, I hurriedly stopped him.Situ Rui turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?" I picked up the token in my hand, handed it to him and asked, "Does this token belong to Cousin Rui?" Situ Rui took the token and flipped it over. I looked at him and said, "That's right, this is exactly my token. I don't know why Cousin Hai has my token?" I looked at him and said, "This token fell out of the assassin. How can Cousin Rui come out?" So careless, I don’t know if I left the token.” Situ Rui panicked, then calmed down and said, “Maybe I was busy catching the assassin before and accidentally left it behind. Why, Cousin Hai suspects that the assassin is me Did you send someone into the palace to assassinate the father?" I waved my hand and said, "I didn't say that, why is Brother Rui so nervous? I just heard from Brother Jing that this assassin was captured in Xueji Palace just now, and was later captured by him. The assassin who was imprisoned was the same person. Cousin Rui, don’t you wonder what’s going on?” Situ Rui’s expression darkened, and he said, “The assassin couldn’t have escaped from the prison, right? I’ll go to the prison immediately Take a look." Then he turned to go out.I stepped forward to stop him and said, "Don't bother Cousin Rui with this trivial matter." After speaking, I rushed outside and shouted, "Come on!" Gong asked: "What are your orders?" I said casually: "Go to the prison and see if the assassin you caught earlier is still locked in there?" .

"Also... I'll go and see for myself." Seeing the guards leave, Situ Rui hurriedly said something before going out. "Rui'er, stop for me." The emperor forced himself to sit up and shouted loudly.Situ Rui stopped when he heard this, and turned to look at the emperor. "Haier has already talked about this, but you still refuse to plead guilty and admit that you sent this assassin?" As soon as the words fell, Situ Rui's legs softened and he knelt on the ground.The emperor shook his head and said, "Rui'er. Father thought you would be an upright man and a man who dared to bear the consequences. I didn't expect... Father, I misjudged you!" Situ Rui came to the bed on his knees, begging for mercy Said: "Father, it is the fault of the child. The child was not convinced that the imperial brother was registered as the crown prince, so he sent assassins to infiltrate Xueji Palace, intending to murder the imperial brother. It is the child who is obsessed with ghosts, please spare the child's life." The emperor said angrily: "You want to murder your elder brother just because of your own selfishness. Ruier, I am so disappointed in you." At this moment, Situ Jing, who had been standing aside, stepped forward and grabbed Situ Rui by the collar. , picked him up and punched him in the stomach, and shouted: "Situ Rui, you sent an assassin to assassinate Uncle Huang because of this, and caused Uncle Huang to be seriously injured. You don't want to wear this human skin!" Situ Rui Throwing away Situ Jing's hands, he argued, "I only sent him to assassinate the emperor's brother, and never let him come here to assassinate the father. Cousin Jing, you must have evidence for what you say, and don't plant blame on me. Father is not doing well." Yes, where are you injured?" I chuckled lightly and said, "Cousin Rui, do you think that you can blame all this on the assassin if the assassin escapes? Do you think you only need to admit that you sent someone to assassinate Cousin Ji out of jealousy?" Is it true that the assassin escaped, but it is also true that he stabbed Uncle Huang!" As I spoke, I waved my hand, and the emperor's chest The dagger appeared. When Situ Rui saw the dagger, he completely collapsed on the ground and muttered to himself: "I never thought that you, a yellow-mouthed kid, would defeat me so badly. That's right, I am the assassin." Sent to assassinate my father. Situ Ji, how can he be canonized as the prince, I am not reconciled!"

Situ Jing said angrily: "You are just jealous of Cousin Ji, why did you send an assassin to assassinate Uncle Huang?" Situ Rui stood up and laughed loudly, "Do you think I really want to assassinate Situ Ji? I was wrong. The person I really want to assassinate is your Uncle Huang!" Situ Jing said in surprise: "What? What did you say?" Situ Rui smiled contemptuously: "Why is this news too much for you? Surprised? No wonder, how can someone as simple as you understand it?" I clapped my hands and said, "Brother Jing really doesn't understand your intentions for doing this. I didn't know what your purpose was at first? But now I understand." Situ Rui looked at me and said, "Then let Cousin Hai talk about it." I touched my earlobe and said, "I didn't understand at first, if the assassin wanted his life, It should have stabbed the dagger into his chest instead of just scratching his arm. Then what is the point of this assassin risking his life to sneak into the palace? Now I understand that the assassin's assassination of Brother Ji was just a cover .After the palace learned that there was an assassin breaking in, all the palaces and halls would take strict precautions to prevent the assassin from having accomplices. And you took advantage of this, first put the assassin in prison, and then used the warrant in your hand Card privileges transfer some of the prison guards to other places for guarding, so that the assassin can escape from the prison without disturbing anyone. Besides, you know that brother Jing will do his duty outside the imperial study room, and will not leave casually or enter and leave the imperial study room to disturb The emperor's uncle has a rest in the inner room. You let the assassin sneak into the inner room of the imperial study through the window, take advantage of the unpreparedness of the emperor's uncle to attack him, and then escape through the window after he succeeds, so that no one will notice. Wait for you to estimate the assassin After you succeed, you come to the Imperial Study Room in the name of delivering food. At this time, even if Uncle Huang is killed, you will not be suspected. As long as the assassin kills Uncle Emperor, you can use Cousin Xin who is pregnant with Liujia. With the name of an heir to win the support of the ministers, and depose Brother Ji as the crown prince, you can successfully seize the throne. Tell me, am I right?"

"I didn't expect that cousin Hai was more scheming than me, and he was able to guess all my plans. I admire him!" Situ Rui clapped his hands and laughed.I shook my head and said: "You're wrong, my scheming is far less serious than yours. I admit that your plan is indeed quite perfect, but it's completely secret. If the assassin can be careful, he doesn't accidentally touch it when he escapes. The vase on the window sill, we will never rush into the inner room because of the sound, and we will never find the assassin hiding in the cabinet, and it is even more impossible to find that this assassin is the same assassin who was imprisoned before. He will not leave the token you gave him when he fled in a hurry, and we will not suspect you at all." After hearing this, Situ Rui didn't say anything, just laughed, but I It could be seen that his eyes were full of sadness and despair.

"This time, you have nothing to say. Come!" The emperor shouted loudly.Hearing this, the guard outside the room hurried into the imperial study, came to the inner room and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The emperor waved his hand and said, "Put the second prince into a prison for strict supervision, and no one is allowed to visit him." Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" The guard responded: "Observe the order" and walked out with Situ Rui on one side and one on the right.After Situ Rui was taken away, the emperor's face tightened, a mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth, dripping onto the bed sheet printed with rhododendrons.The white rhododendrons are dripping with bright red blood, just like blood-dripping rhododendrons. It is so sad and heartbreaking to watch.
