Chapter 189 Impeaching King Yi
After getting Xiao Tianming's approval, An Yao immediately sent all the secret guards to concentrate their firepower to investigate the secret villa that attracted various forces. So overnight, the Lehuo Villa hidden under everyone's eyelids was investigated by the secret guards of the Zhaowang Mansion.
In Xiao Tianming's study, all the secret guards who were in and out looked hurried, with speed on their hands. The timely and accurate information determines who will eventually take the initiative in this war without gunpowder.
Xiao Tianming looked at the information that An Yao had compiled. At the beginning, his frown gradually stretched out, and a thin layer of ice slowly floated in his eyes. "Bang", Xiao Tianming closed the note, and then he snorted coldly, "Xiao Tianrui, you are really stupid!" After that, Xiao Tianming handed the information back to An Yao and said coldly: "Send these information to the Censor's Mansion overnight. I don't need to teach you what you do!"
"Yes, I'll do it now. The prince will wait to watch the show tomorrow morning!" An Yao took the note, and under the copper mask that covered most of his face, he could only see the cold eyes flashing with flames of excitement.
If Xiao Tianrui built such a farmhouse privately for his own enjoyment, it would at most be considered a loss of virtue and criticism. But if it was used as a secret stronghold to win over powerful ministers to trade privately, the nature would be different. As a superior, no one would like to see the prince and the ministers forming cliques and forming personal relationships with each other. Xiao Tianrui's move would definitely make the emperor suspicious and furious.
Just as An Yao was about to turn around and go out, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open by a panting secret guard. Because of the emergency, the secret guards could not even wait for the report and quickly stepped forward to report: "Prince, Lord An, my subordinates just discovered a huge piece of information!"
"What information? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Tianming asked hurriedly.
The secret guard took the opportunity to swallow his saliva, moistening his already hoarse voice, and then replied: "I accidentally discovered that there were people from the Xirong royal family in that Lehuo Villa!"
"What?" Xiao Tianming stood up. The news was shocking. Xiao Tianming felt his heart so excited that he almost jumped up wildly. There was a strange and crazy light in his eyes. A cold smile gradually appeared on the corner of his lips. His eyes were as cold as an eagle. He said, "God really helps me! Xiao Tianrui, since you are seeking death, don't blame me for showing mercy and sharing the worries of the king and father!"
King Jinxi's Mansion.
As soon as Xiao Yuanhao entered the mansion, a Yueying Sect who had been waiting for a long time came forward and reported, "Master, I have important things to report!"
"Well, say." Xiao Yuanhao glanced at him and said.
The gang took a step forward and whispered: "Master, when I went to the villa to rescue Qingshan tonight, I found that there were two groups of people secretly following us from behind. These people seemed to be just following, without any extra moves. One of them should be from Xie's house. As for the origin of the other group, it is still unclear."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanhao's eyes sank slightly: "Chu Wei, send someone to stare at Lehuo Villa immediately. If there is any abnormal movement, quickly send me a letter."
"Yes, I'll go now." Chu Wei bowed and replied. After saying that, he immediately rode out of the royal palace and led a small team of gatemen to run towards Lehuo Villa.
The appearance of the Xie family is understandable. It must have been because they received the news that they were going to Lehuo Villa to save people, so they sent people to follow him to help. However, the other group of people who appeared behind did not even Chu Wei discover their true identity. It can be seen that their actions are extraordinary. Who would recruit and train secret guards with such abilities?
Xiao Yuanhao showed a thoughtful expression, thinking in his heart, and the deep color on his handsome face became increasingly strong. Although he was not sure who that person was, one thing was very clear, that was that a bloody storm was about to kick off above the palace, and there was no way to avoid it.
That night, a scattering snow covered the entire Kyoto City, and before I knew it, the fields and streets were covered with white. In the early morning, a ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the ground, reflecting the crystal snowflakes with dazzling and dizzying light.
At this time, Xiao Tianrui, who was sleeping soundly on the beautiful woman's arms, seemed to have some nightmare, and his hands and feet were constantly struggling, and he kept muttering, "Mother's wife, save me, save me..." Chen Yao was awakened by this sudden movement. She rubbed her eyes and then she saw clearly that it was King Yi beside her who was having a nightmare.
"Prince, wake up." Chen Yao gently pushed Xiao Tianrui, and his voice called softly in his ear.
"Ah!" Xiao Tianrui shouted suddenly, sat up directly, and his whole forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Chen Yao also sat up quickly, picked up the fragrant pat beside her pillow and wiped the cold sweat on her head for Xiao Tianrui, and asked with concern: "What kind of nightmare is the prince?"
Xiao Tianrui finally came to his senses from the nightmare just now, but the horror in his eyes still did not dissipate. He grabbed Chen Yao's hand tightly, and the force was extremely strong, making Chen Yao feel so painful that he couldn't help but let out a soft voice.
Hearing Chen Yao's call for pain, Xiao Tianrui realized his loss of composure. He wiped the cold sweat from his head randomly, turned around and looked at Chen Yao's beautiful and charming little face, but when the words came to his mouth, Xiao Tianrui swallowed it back.
The dream just now was so terrifying that he didn't even dare to reveal his own favored concubine easily.
In the dream, he was sentenced to death by his father. When he was dragged to the execution ground, everyone laughed at him for being despised. Even his mother and uncle turned their backs and refused to look at him again. He ran away desperately and struggled desperately, but was locked tightly... The moment the executioner raised his sword, he woke up from the dream.
Xiao Tianrui, who had nightmares, had an unknown premonition. Something seemed to happen today, and it was a very bad one.
Chen Yao looked at Xiao Tianrui with a decent expression and said in anger: "Prince, don't think too much, it's just a dream, you can't do it accurately."
"What do you know!" After all, I had done something guilty, Xiao Tianrui shouted impatiently, "Okay, I'll tell you to come and change my clothes for me. The time for court is coming soon, and you can't be late today."
Chen Yao was shocked by Xiao Tianrui's abnormal behavior. It was rare to see Xiao Tianrui, who had always been gentle, speak so harshly. Chen Yao also felt a little panic in her heart, and quickly ordered the maids who had been waiting outside to come in early morning to serve Xiao Tianrui to wash and change clothes.
Xiao Tianrui's premonition was true. As expected, in the morning court, several censors from the Censorate jointly submitted a memorial to impeach Yi Wang Xiao Tianrui, accusing him of forming cliques for personal gain and deceiving the emperor and colluding with spies from the enemy country in an indiscriminate manner!
