169. Chapter 169(2/2)
In the evening, Liu Hui received a secret edict from Gao Yongrong, who ordered him to enter the palace. He didn't want to leave, but the edict kept going. After pondering for a while, he finally left the door, entered the palace from the side door, and came here quietly.
Gao Yongrong has been ill for a long time. It was said that he was confused at one time. But tonight, except for his pale face, he lost a lot of weight and looked very good in spirit - it can even be said that he was extremely good.
She was dressed neatly, with a gloomy face and a pair of eyes flashing with light.
Among the people who arrived, in addition to Liu Hui, there were several royal princes. Several people looked at each other and gave a greeting to Gao Yongrong - after all, as long as Li Mu did not ascend the throne for one day and she would not abdicate for one day, she would still be the queen mother of the Southern Dynasty.
After Liu Hui gave a tribute, he asked Gao Yongrong about the purpose of his edict.
Gao Yongrong's eyes swept across the circle of people and gritted his teeth and said, "You are always worthy of me. Now the court is in danger, Li Mu rebels and is aggressive. You people must be loyal and help me get rid of Li Mu, and you must not refuse!"
After she finished speaking, several royal families shrank their heads and remained silent.
Liu Hui remembered the scene when she was waiting for Li Mu to enter the city during the day. She was both contempt and annoyed by Gao Yongrong, and she said with ruthlessness: "He has strong troops and horses, and has made great contributions to the Northern Expedition. Not to mention the support of the people, even the Empress Dowager, your own brother, has turned to him? What's the use of the Empress Dowager asking me to wait? The general situation is over, so why not follow him. The Empress Dowager may still be able to maintain his glory in the future. Why do you have to do this forever?"
Gao Yongrong seemed furious and slapped the desk face suddenly, his face lost its blood, his lips turned blue, and he shouted with a trembling voice: "Liu Hui, you are so brave! You dare to disobey me! Your Majesty is my biological son, and he listens to me the most on weekdays! As long as I say something in front of him, it will be easy to ask your head! Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Several royal families looked surprised and looked at each other quickly, their heads lowered and they didn't say a word.
Seeing her eyes flashing, Liu Hui gradually realized something was wrong with her, so she said perfunctorily: "My crime is... but I wonder what the Empress Dowager can defeat the enemy?"
Gao Yongrong's face then calmed down, and an excited light appeared in his eyes. He whispered: "I want you to see Li Mu, so I said I voluntarily abdicate. You made him happy. While he was unprepared, you would kill him with one knife! As long as he died, I will ask Your Majesty to let you be the prime minister. Feng Wei's idiot has no use at all!"
Liu Hui tentatively said, "Have you died? Why can the Empress Dowager let Your Majesty sign me the Prime Minister again?"
Gao Yongrong's face changed and he said angrily: "Nonsense! Who said my Deng'er has passed away? Do you dare to curse Your Majesty? Could it be that you are tired of living too?"
Liu Hui finally confirmed that Gao Yongrong in front of him was probably already confused. He immediately turned around and walked away while perfunctorily. After walking a few steps, he heard a series of footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around, Gao Yongrong pushed him to the ground with a palm.
"Liu Qing, are you not listening to me anymore? You want to go and report to Li Mu? "
He turned his head and saw Gao Yongrong looking down at him, his eyes were faint and his tone was sinister.
The dim candlelight was swept by the wind from the corner of the hall and swayed a few times, making her look even more creepy.
The reason why Liu Hui was willing to come here tonight was indeed because she wanted to find out her intentions and then go to Li Mu to report it to the new king to seek the trust of the new king. Seeing that her purpose was exposed, she was pushed to the ground, and she cursed: "You crazy woman, you are still dreaming of your spring and autumn! If you weren't for your incompetence, how could I almost be buried alive and my family's wealth be gone? Now she is still forcing me to stab Li Mu? You are so stingy with Li Mu? You are crazy, I'm farewell!"
After saying that, he got up from the ground, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Unexpectedly, before I could take a few steps, my back suddenly became cold, and then a heart-wrenching pain came from that part just now and quickly spread throughout my body.
Liu Hui froze while he was still there, and slowly turned around, only to realize that a dagger had been inserted into his back.
Gao Yongrong held the handle of the dagger tightly in his hand and sneered: "You know my secret, but you don't do things for me and betray me. Want to leave? It's not that easy! Go and die!"
She pulled out the dagger suddenly, gritted her teeth, and continued to poke at Liu Hui. She stabbed and laughed.
Blood continued to flow out of Liu Hui's body as she moved.
Liu Hui struggled desperately, and finally escaped from Gao Yongrong's dagger, stumbled, fled to the palace gate, ran a few steps, was caught up again, stabbed, fell to the ground again, knocked down the row of candlesticks.
The candlelight fell to the ground, burning the curtain, and the tongue of flames spread rapidly.
Gao Yongrong gritted his teeth, continued to swing his knife, and assassinated randomly.
Liu Hui was crawling on the ground, and a long blood mark was dragged out from under him.
Several royal families present were shocked by the sudden scene in front of him. Seeing Gao Yongrong's gaze ferociously, he waved his dagger and stabbed Liu Hui on the ground, as if he was crazy, he suddenly turned his head, and his two gazes seemed to be shooting at him. They were all scared to death, and they dared not stay anymore, and they all ran away.
