Chapter 169 The Empress's Rage Xue Fei calmed down and took down the note. When he opened it, his face changed drastically. There was only one line of words on it: If you want to save your life, treat the people you capture today well. Xue Fei's eyes widened, and his hand holding the note trembled slightly. "Who sent this?" The subordinate noticed that Xue Fei looked a little strange, so he asked, "Sir, what's wrong?" "No~" Xue Fei shook his head with a complicated expression. He suppressed his expression and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and tell the people in the prison to take good care of the people we captured today."
"What do you mean, sir?" I thought Xue Fei wanted to torture me according to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess's wishes. When Xue Fei saw her expression, he knew what she meant. He glared at her and said angrily. "I want you to serve me carefully, not to lynch me!" The subordinate lowered his head in fear: "Yes, I was wrong." "Just... Her Royal Highness?" Xue Fei thought for a while and said, "Let's keep the matter secret from Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess for now. Don't touch that person yet. We can see whether he is a spy or not after the Tibetan Rong envoys arrive in Beijing." If it is false, then that person will be pushed out and handed over to the people of Zangrong for the crime of impersonating the princess, and the two countries will also be in a friendly relationship. I'm sure Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess won't blame me too much considering this. If it was true, she would be able to put the blame on Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess when things got out of hand. After all, she was also acting on Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess's orders. And if she serves the eldest princess well, she will not blame her and will only vent her anger on the princess, thus saving her as well. "Yes." The subordinates did not think as clearly as Xue Fei did, they just did whatever the masters told them to do. …… Silent night, the palace gates are closed The patrolling guards took turns to guard every corner of the palace gate. Outside the Hibiscus Palace, there were hurried and anxious footsteps. "Left Supervisor~" A young palace servant came over in a hurry. An Lingrong frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
The little palace maid stood on tiptoe and whispered something in An Lingrong's ear. An Lingrong's face changed and she glanced at the palace servant with a sharp look. "We know about this. You go down first." "Yes." Inside the Hibiscus Palace, the empress was sleeping soundly in her beauty nest. I was woken up unexpectedly and my whole face was black. With the help of the palace servants, she put on her clothes and walked out of the inner room. He glared at An Lingrong with a gloomy face and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?!" An Lingrong's face was calm and reserved, and she bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, I am sorry to bother you. This is an emergency. I just received news from the Crown Princess's residence that Her Highness was assassinated and is now in a coma due to a severe poison." "What did you say?!" Hearing this, the empress shuddered all over, looked at An Lingrong with a sharp gaze, and said angrily. "Has the assassin been caught?" An Lingrong replied respectfully: "The assassin has been caught and is now detained in the Dali Temple." Ji Yao was furious and ordered: "Such a daring assassin, just take him out and execute him." "Your Majesty, no~" An Lingrong shook her head in objection and frowned. "Now Her Highness is poisoned and in critical condition. The imperial physician is helpless. If we kill the assassin, we won't be able to find the antidote. Wouldn't Her Highness be in danger?" After hearing An Lingrong's words, Ji Yao realized that she was overwhelmed by anger. She gradually calmed down, but her face was still very ugly. "Pass the order down and check it for me!" "I want to see who is so bold as to murder my daughter!" Thinking of the princess, Ji Yao's face darkened again: "How is the princess now?" An Lingrong narrowed her eyes slightly: "The imperial physician is doing his best to treat the patient, but the situation is still unknown." Ji Yao said in a cold voice, "Tell them to treat me well. If they can't, bring them to me with their heads!" "Yes." (End of this chapter)
