How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 248: Don't forget to finish off Xie Chengze, and follow the master's Hu Lai

Xie Zimiao, carrying a small bag on his back, ran over, jumping over the corpses on the ground, then suddenly stopped in front of the two men. He squatted down, quickly opened the package, and took out the square box inside.

He took out a black pill from the box and stuffed it into Shen Yuan's mouth with lightning speed, and made Shen Yuan swallow it quickly and accurately.

Xie Chengze looked at the familiar box, his brain went offline for a while, and then he spoke in a trembling voice, "Xiao Miao, this medicine... is it the life-saving pill?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zimiao paused slightly, then his gaze shifted away guiltily.

"Xiao Miao? Xiao Miao?" Seeing his expression, Xie Chengze immediately grabbed his wrist anxiously and asked, "Tell me what's going on? Isn't this medicine for Father to take?"

Xie Zimiao lowered his head and bit his lip lightly, not daring to let Xie Chengze see the expression on his face, "Second brother, don't ask anymore."

"Xie Zimiao!" Xie Chengze was a little angry and called Xie Zimiao by name, "Answer my second brother! What on earth is going on?"

in case……

If the emperor hadn't taken this medicine...

Is the body lying in the Yangxin Palace really my father's body?

He thought, he thought that his father and Shen Yuan had deliberately planned this plan to give a legitimate reason to execute Sheng Shihuai. In fact, his father did not die suddenly. He was just lying in the Yangxin Palace watching the show. He could live for a few more months.

He had thought it through. When the coup was over, he would be filial to his father...

It was the first time that Xie Zimiao was treated so harshly by his second brother. After a slight tremor, he looked at Xie Chengze with a sad look, "Second brother, father did not take this life-saving pill..."

His eyes were slightly red, "He said, leave it to you."

Xie Chengze's whole body trembled. The next moment, his nose suddenly felt sore and two lines of tears burst out from his eyes frantically, and he couldn't stop them.

Every bit of his past with Emperor Jian came to his mind. The bald old man smiled and rubbed his hair. Although he always teased him with memorials and court affairs, he would listen to him seriously and patiently copy his ugly handwriting and paintings. Knowing that he might be a talentless person, he still asked the Ministry of Works to verify his wonderful ideas...

When he was sleepy and fell asleep, he would cover him with a blanket and then take out his brush to continue reviewing memorials. When he was picky about food, he would pick up chopsticks and tap his head to remind him to eat well. Even though he knew that he was scheming to promote someone, he would still prepare special meals for him, use backdoors for him, and meet all his needs.

He is like a father.

The kinship that I had never felt in my previous life, I now fully experience here, even though this bald old man is sometimes annoying and likes to make up rumors about him to ruin his reputation...

But Xie Chengze could feel that the look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at him was true fatherly love.

Only parental love is willing to leave the best things to their children, even if that thing is life.

Xie Chengze wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, took a deep breath, and ordered in a cold voice, "Come here, send Lord Shen and the prince to the Imperial Hospital, and make sure their injuries are cured! Cao Que, take your people to clean up the scene, and make sure to count the soldiers who died for the country today, give their families outside the palace consolation money, and collect their bodies for burial!"

"As for all the ministers, please leave the palace and go to court on time tomorrow to discuss the affairs after the death of our father!"

Cao Que opened his lips, but still glanced at the queen.

Cao Qingran walked up to Xie Chengze and Shen Yuan, his eyes calmly swept across Shen Yuan's wound, and finally fell on Xie Chengze, and said calmly, "Regent, this matter is not over yet, this throne..."

"The throne, the throne... the throne!" Xie Chengze couldn't help but sneer. He looked up at Cao Qingran who was standing on a high position. However, the sadness and sarcasm in his eyes made Cao Qingran couldn't help but take a step back.

"Things like you are so rare, but in my eyes, you are nothing but a piece of grass, not worth mentioning."

The young man sighed, his eyes reddened, "Father's health should never be this serious. If I find out that this is related to the Queen's lineage, the Cao family will be destroyed!"

"Cao Qingran! You'd better pray that your father's illness has nothing to do with your Cao family!"

Cao Qingran was shocked by the hatred in his eyes. She clenched her fists slightly, and after a long time, she swung her sleeves fiercely and said sternly, "Cao Que! Didn't you hear the regent's order?"

"...Yes." Cao Que clasped his hands together, Gong Jin accepted the order, and then waved his hand, "Ministers, and the remaining guards, follow me back to the Yangxin Palace!"

The ministers looked at each other, and seeing that the prince was unconscious, and the queen and the regent did not seem to want to pursue the palace coup, they had no choice but to follow Cao Que and walk towards the main venue of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The unconscious Shen Yuan and Xie Jinyu were carried away on stretchers. Xie Chengze turned around and looked at Sheng Shihuai, who was lying lifeless with his eyes closed on the ground.

He frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

But I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Well, don’t think about it anymore. After all, Sheng Shihuai is dead, and after Jin Yu’s death, there is one less major obstacle.

He wants to see his father.

"Hu Lai." Xie Chengze called Hu Lai over and told him, "Stab Envoy Sheng a few more times to make sure he's dead."

"Hey? Hey!" Hu Lai, who was secretly sharpening his knife behind a rock and planning to finish off the opponent later, was delighted when he heard this. "Yes! Leave it to me!"

He is worthy of being the master he chose!

Be rigorous! Know the importance of last hitting!

After Xie Chengze left, Hu Lai took the sharpened knife and stabbed Sheng Shihuai several times in the chest. After stroking his beard, his shrewd and wretched triangular eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to lean over to listen to something, he suddenly looked up quickly, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is so careless!

How could he get close to Sheng Shihuai's chest and listen to his heartbeat? What if Sheng Shihuai was not dead and he was hit by him, wouldn't he be dead?

He is such a weak man, even more delicate than the Second Prince...he can't withstand such torture!

So, Hu Lai carefully stabbed Sheng Shihuai's limbs and wrists several times, and tore open all the tendons in Sheng Shihuai's hands and feet. After making sure that the other party could no longer use his internal force to kill him, he carefully took out a packet of arsenic from his arms and smeared it on the blade of the dagger.

Then, he raised the knife and stabbed it suddenly towards the left chest!

However, just as the tip of the knife was about to pierce Sheng Shihuai's heart again——

The tip of the knife suddenly turned at an extremely fast speed and stabbed into Sheng Shihuai's right chest!

At the same time, Hu Lai suddenly fell down!

The corpse on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, and wanted to raise his hands to use his internal force to injure the person who killed him, but his limbs were all sprained and he could not move, so he could only struggle to get up from the ground.

He looked at Xu Lai with vicious eyes, blood gushing out of his mouth, and said hatefully, "You, you..."

"Sure enough, you are a rare right-hearted person."

Hu Lai got up and looked at Sheng Shihuai who had come back from the dead. He patted his chest and said in fear, "Fortunately, I have always been rigorous. When I was traveling, I heard that there are people in this world who are born with their hearts on the right side. With the attitude of giving it a try, I stabbed you on the right side."

Otherwise, with this person's internal strength, he would definitely be able to escape and make a comeback.

"Don't worry, to make sure you die completely, I just applied arsenic~" Hu Lai proudly put his hands on his hips, "I won't see you again!"

Sheng Shihuai: ...

Sheng Shihuai fell to the ground with his eyes open, staring fiercely in the direction of Hu Lai. He never expected that he relied on his right-heartedness and thought he could escape unscathed, but ended up meeting such a vicious person like Hu Lai!

He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to escape, and then sit on the sidelines and wait for the real...

The thought came to an abrupt end, and the pair of eyes filled with hatred stared at Hu Lai unwillingly.

Hu Lai very considerately closed his eyes and stabbed him dozens more times before he felt relieved and left happily.

He wants to go back and tell the Second Prince~

Such a smart and clever minister should have his salary increased~
