Chapter 116 English
Mo Hongyun's eyes suddenly went dark, his knees went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thump.
Mantian quickly appeared, "Master, are you okay?"
Mo Hongyun did not answer him. He stared at the head that was still dripping with blood, his eyes full of despair.
Mantian followed the emperor's gaze, and a strong sadness surged into his heart. His voice was choked with sobs: "Master, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences."
Mo Hongyun ignored his words, his eyes were empty and desolate, no longer as high-spirited as before. His hands hung down, trembling slightly, revealing his fragility.
Mantian wiped away her tears and said, "Master, please cheer up. You still need to avenge the Queen."
Tears rolled down like a broken string, Mo Hongyun raised his hand tremblingly, his voice filled with overwhelming hatred: "Kill!"
"Blood oath to kill!"
"Kill them all!"
Tears burst out, he had never cried so miserably before, screaming: "Why? Why do you have to kill her?"
Hatred accumulated in his heart and he was in agony.
The guards in secret surrounded the members of the Blood Alliance, but because they were concerned about the head held by the leader, they did not take action immediately.
The deputy leader of the Blood Alliance saw the guard's weakness and raised his head to threaten: "Let us go, or I will destroy this head!"
Mantian's eyes turned red, and Mo Hongyun watched the scene nervously.
Then, in front of everyone, the head lost its face.
The deputy leader of the Blood Oath Alliance was stunned for a moment, then he held the head in front of him sadly and roared, "Third Brother!"
The tears stopped abruptly, Mo Hongyun's eyes were dull for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually widened.
He looked up at the sky and asked knowingly, "Is the queen not dead?"
"Yes! The Queen is not dead!" Mantian sniffed, "I knew that the Queen would not die so easily."
His mood instantly relaxed, his rationality gradually recovered, and he asked Mantian with a wary look in his eyes: "Why are you so happy?"
The whole sky was speechless. How did the emperor go from sadness to jealousy directly?
He answered seriously: "Your Majesty, I think the Queen is a person worthy of admiration and should not die like this."
Mo Hongyun believed it a little, and continued to speak uncontrollably: "I have never seen you cry."
Mantian: "..." He organized his words: "If it was Wuti and Yueluo, I would do the same."
Mo Hongyun was relieved when he saw that Mantian really seemed to have no other intentions towards Xingxi.
His sanity was completely restored, and he finally realized, didn't the system say that the function was not working properly? Did it ask Xingxi to run away quickly? What was going on?
Looking back in time.
The carriage that Shen Xingxi was riding in arrived at a remote alley.
At this time, she had already covered her head with an iron bucket and was wearing soft armor to protect against hidden weapons.
According to her understanding, the members of the Blood Alliance would split up to carry out the assassination, and their usual tactic was to shoot arrows wildly first, and then someone would get on the carriage to check.
The carriage was shot through by arrows, and the third brother of the Blood Alliance came to the carriage to check.
Shen Xingxi took an arrow and pierced his heart directly.
She took off the third brother's bloody coat and put it on herself, covered him with her own clothes, and changed his appearance.
She cut off the third brother's head, jumped out of the carriage with her hair dripping, lowered her head, covered her stomach, bent over, and said in a low voice to the people outside the carriage: "Take it." Then she hurried out.
In fact, there were many loopholes, but the goal of the Blood Alliance was to get the Queen's head, so they didn't think much about it when they saw that the heads could match.
The system's voice came into my ears at this time: [Host, run away! My system function is not working! ]
Shen Xingxi rolled her eyes in her heart and didn't have time to respond. She used her Qinggong to fly to the nearest residence and changed her clothes before answering: [Why is it suddenly not working? ]
The system chuckled: [I lied. Maybe because the scene just now was too bloody, my vision was blocked. It’s okay now.]
Shen Xingxi smiled and said, "It's fine."
System: [Host, something bad has happened. Mo Hongyun is not waiting for you in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He went to that alley.]
[Then I have to quickly send someone to inform Mo Hongyun that I'm fine.] Shen Xingxi's smile widened.
[Then what are you going to do, host? 】
[It’s time to have a good talk with the Prime Minister. Mo Hongyun is so pitiful being caught in the middle. ]
System: [Host, didn't you say you were going to give up on him? Why are you still thinking about him? ]
[You haven't given up yet, have you? As long as he is mine, I will protect him.]
After hearing the conversation between the two, Mo Hongyun suddenly felt relieved. It turned out that he had misunderstood.
He couldn't help but laugh. As long as Xingxi didn't give up now, there was still a chance.
He also quietly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, wanting to listen to the conversation between Xingxi and the Prime Minister.
The main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Xingxi sat in the main seat, playing with the tea lid, and said nonchalantly: "Prime Minister, you are very capable. You can even get the Blood Alliance to make an exception for you."
The Prime Minister's eyes were complicated: "Your Majesty, are you talking about that assassin organization? I don't have the ability to do that.
But I heard that the Queen was able to survive the assassination attempt by the assassination organization without any harm, which made me admire her."
"There's no one else here, so Prime Minister, you don't have to hide it from me. I already know that your father is the former leader of the Blood Alliance." Shen Xingxi picked up the teacup and splashed the tea on the Prime Minister's face with a smile.
The system suddenly spoke, [Host, let me sing a song for you! He is eavesdropping. ]
Shen Xingxi paused: [Although I'm not in a good mood, I'm not in a bad mood to listen to music. Thank you.]
She looked at the prime minister with a cold look in her eyes: "As the prime minister, you aided the tyrant. The Blood Alliance has received so many orders to assassinate innocent people over the years. You have been indulging yourself for your own selfish interests. Do you deserve your official uniform?"
The prime minister had never thought that the queen had thrown water on him for this reason. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off his face and said calmly, "The blood oath alliance and the court have never interfered with each other. I just don't want to push them too far. You also know that they are all desperate criminals who are likely to do anything."
Shen Xingxi sneered, "So those innocent people deserve to die? Are you still trying to say that they deserved to die because they were able to appease the people of the Blood Alliance?"
She slammed the teacup and said in a cold voice: "Prime Minister, stop making excuses. It's not that you don't have the ability to destroy them, you just think they are useful to you."
The Prime Minister laughed to himself and casually sat on a chair beside him. "Empress, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You have crossed the line."
Shen Xingxi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Does the Prime Minister have the guts to tell the Emperor this? The Emperor even brought the memorial to me an hour ago and asked me to review it."
The prime minister's face changed slightly. He had never thought that the emperor would take the initiative to let the queen review the memorials. He thought that the emperor would at least be a little wary of the queen.
Shen Xingxi looked at the Prime Minister's expression and curled her lips. "Prime Minister, what would the Emperor do if he knew that you were the son of the previous leader of the Blood Alliance and that the Blood Alliance almost fell into your hands? What would he feel if he knew that you would rather kill innocent people than keep the Blood Alliance?"
Prime Minister: "If the Queen wants to tell the Emperor, please tell him. I have never had any selfish motives. I always put the Emperor first. It only takes the Emperor's word to decide whether to abolish the blood oath."
Shen Xingxi laughed, "Prime Minister, this is the best joke I have ever heard.
Wan Yu goes up the mountain to collect herbs every three days, but you were there talking with the leader of the Blood Oath Alliance. And with your vigilance, how could you possibly give Wan Yu the chance to send any message out?
You made two preparations. If I can stay in the palace obediently, you won't mind letting me continue to sit on the throne. If something unexpected happens when I leave the palace, you will tell the emperor that I would rather risk my life to leave the palace than stay in the harem. I have never put the emperor first from the beginning to the end.
You used Wan Yu to pave a way out for you, didn't you just want to keep your position as prime minister?
If you really care about the emperor, you should not put him in a dilemma, and you should not hint to the ministers to submit memorials regarding the selection of concubines.
Don't think I don't know that the forces of Minister Chen will now act according to your wishes. If the former queen hadn't stood on my side, you would have become the second Minister Chen."
