Xiao Xuanmo shook his head in confusion: "I...I don't know."

"As the legitimate son of the Queen of the South, Prince Mo of the South, how could you not know why she wanted to save you? Xiao Xuanmo, from today on, your life is hers. Never do this again. It's a stupid thing to live up to her risking her life to protect you this time. If you feel guilty, then prove it with your own actions..." Xiao Tingyan murmured every word in a low voice. Xiao Xuanmo was very smart and understood it almost immediately. What Xiao Tingyan meant. He didn't hesitate and wiped his tears immediately. "Uncle Yanhuang, I will not be cowardly or shrink back. You are right, my life was saved by Yun Luan. From now on, it will no longer be under my control..." - About half an hour later, the news of King Xiao Xuan Momo's death spread throughout the capital of Nanchu. For a time, the whole court was in an uproar, and it caused an uproar in the harem, front court, and even among the people. Feiyue Palace. When Concubine Zhao received the news, a bit of darkness flashed across her eyes. At that time, she was holding a walking stick and inserting it in her hair. Behind her, stood a man wearing purple brocade clothes. A man in gorgeous clothes and as handsome as a handsome young master. With a somewhat flattering smile, the man wanted to take credit from Concubine Zhao: "Aunt, in addition to the news of Xiao Xuanmo's death, there is another good news to tell you. That is Yun Luan is on her deathbed now... It is estimated that she will die soon."

Concubine Zhao's expression changed, and she turned to look at the man: "Xiao Xuanmo is dead, and Yun Luan is dying soon? Is there any connection between them?"

"Don't tell me that the affairs of these two people are all related to you?"

This man is no one else, his name is Zhao Qinghuai... He is the nephew of Concubine Zhao, the eldest grandson of Right Minister Zhao Chong. The future heir to the head of the Zhao family... Zhao Qinghuai is handsome and talented, and has been given high hopes since childhood. That kind of thing. The elders in the family, whether it is Concubine Zhao or Zhao Chong, are very fond of him. He usually does things, is very good at observing people's words, and pleases people's hearts. Concubine Zhao has so many nephews, but only Zhao Qinghuai wins her heart the most. So in these years, whenever she had something to do, she would immediately summon her nephew into the palace. Because of her regard, Zhao Qinghuai could often see the emperor. The emperor also admired him very much. At such a young age, he allowed Zhao Qinghuai to come to the palace. He became the deputy commander of the imperial guards and was in charge of half of the military power in the inner courtyard of the palace. Zhao Qinghuai knew that Concubine Zhao always cherished her feathers very much and killed the legitimate son of the palace. He had proposed it before, but he did not expect that Concubine Zhao did not agree. Therefore, He once made some insinuations and tested Xiao Xuanrui. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuanrui was much more courageous than his mother-in-law. The two hit it off immediately and immediately formulated a plan to assassinate Xiao Xuanmo. Those top assassins were all the ones he had spent a lot of money on in the past few years. Although seven masters trained with great energy were lost in one fell swoop, as long as Xiao Xuanmo died and Yun Luan was seriously injured, it would all be worth it to them. Zhao Qinghuai could predict that Zhao Guifei Knowing this, he would be very angry. Therefore, he had been mentally prepared for a long time. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and knelt down. "Aunt, my nephew doesn't want to hide it from you. Xiao Xuanmo was assassinated, and it was indeed his nephew. Prince Rui, who sent assassins to attack him, has become more and more powerful in recent years. It's time for him to ascend to the position of prince. But... Xiao Xuanmo, the legitimate son of the palace, is blocking the way. As long as he doesn't stop for a day, If you get rid of him, Prince Rui will not be able to sit in that position legitimately..." "So my nephew took the risk and sent a killer to kill Xiao Xuanmo. Although it was a bit risky, fortunately the plan went smoothly... Xiao Xuanmo He is dead. Next, as long as the queen is dealt with, it will be just around the corner for Prince Rui to take the throne. Aunt, everything my nephew has done is for the good of you and Prince Rui... Please don't be angry, aunt. , all this is my nephew’s own decision.”

Concubine Zhao's face was full of astonishment. She looked at Zhao Qinghuai in disbelief. She was so shocked that she could not recover for a long time. Her arms could not help but tremble. The Bu Yao she was holding in her hand also slipped from her palm and fell to the ground. On the ground. "Does Prince Rui know about this?"

Zhao Qinghuai lowered his eyes and replied: "Prince Rui doesn't know, it's all my nephew's decision..." Concubine Zhao suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and slapped Zhao Qinghuai's face hard. "Ah Qing, you It’s so confusing.”

"You used to tell me when you did something, but this time you overstepped your authority, deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, and did such a shocking thing. Do you know what consequences we will suffer if we fail?"

Zhao Qinghuai was so slapped by Concubine Zhao that he raised his head, curled his lips and smiled faintly, his eyes full of high spirits. "Auntie, calm down. This matter was successful after all, right? Xiao Xuanmo is dead, Yun Luan... Stumbling Block is now critically ill...she won't live long."

"Those who do great things do not stick to trivial matters, and those who are not poisonous are not husbands. Aunt, this is what you have taught your nephew. Our Zhao family really needs to move to a higher level. Otherwise, the sacrifices of other members of our Zhao family will be in vain." "Concubine Zhao felt frightened. Things were obviously beyond her control. She really didn't expect that her nephew, who always obeyed her orders and was most valued by her, would one day do such a big thing without telling her. No. He alone, and even Rui'er, often went behind her back and did some risky things that she didn't agree with. She felt a little exhausted mentally and physically. After so many years of planning, she took every step very steadily, but these things that happened recently , little by little beyond her control, giving her a bit of uncontrollable panic. She sat on the chair in despair, rubbing her sore eyebrows: "Are you sure, Xiao Xuanmo is really dead?"

"Is Yun Luan really so ill that there is no cure?"

Zhao Qinghuai was a little excited. He nodded quickly: "Aunt, it's absolutely true. You also know that my nephew is not that kind of reckless person and will not do anything that is uncertain."

"Xiao Xuanmo is really dead, and Yun Luan is really about to expire... As long as we add another fire at this time, everything will fall into place."

Concubine Zhao's eyes flickered, and she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qinghuai: "How to add fuel to the fire?"
