Chapter 134 Cannon Fodder Jin 17 Targeted by Slaves

"Daddy..."
Yun Wu hurriedly walked to Prime Minister Yun's side. Her Prime Minister father was not angry at all for her eavesdropping. Instead, he stretched out his hand to straighten her messy bun.
There was some confusion and uneasiness in Yun Wu's amber eyes. Wei Congyu actually wanted to make a marriage agreement with her.
Although she had gotten along with him in school since she was a child, she was at most in awe of him as an elder brother. But when it came to marriage, she thought... she was unwilling.
"Dad, I don't want to marry His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Whether you want to marry or not, don't worry, Ah Wu, Daddy knows it well."
Prime Minister Yun touched his precious daughter's head and comforted her. He felt as clear as Men Qing.
I don't know who sent him the news about what happened last time, letting him know the truth. He really didn't expect that Wei Congyu and Cao Guogong from the imperial concubine's faction would secretly plot against his daughter.
It's just that this matter is related to the power struggle between the crown prince and the second prince. He can't make this matter a big deal. Now that he knows it in his heart, he must protect Yun Wu and stay out of it and not get involved in the disputes about the country.
He would not let his daughter marry Wei Congyu, let alone Wei Yan.
Now he wants to know who is so capable that he has found out all the people behind the scenes and secretly sent the evidence into his hands.

And Xie Rongjing, who is far away in Xiaoguo's palace - oh no, I should call him Xiao Rongjing.
Xiao Rongjing, the legitimate son of the late empress, who has been missing for a long time, has returned to the Xiao Palace.
When Emperor Xiao was seriously ill and dying, he perhaps awakened to some fatherly love, and after Xiao Rongjing returned to the palace safely, he showed care that he had never shown before.
Probably because Emperor Xiao had only one son, Xiao Rongjing, and now that he was dying, he originally planned to compromise and agree to the successor's proposal to adopt a member of the royal family, so that the Xiao Kingdom would have someone to succeed him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Rongjing appeared again. When it came to biological blood and adopted children, Emperor Xiao would definitely prefer his biological blood, and his plans for a successor were in vain.
In the brightly lit luxurious palace, Xiao Rongjing was sitting in front of the desk and carefully reading the memorial.
Emperor Xiao is now so ill that he can't even lift his hands. Xiao Rongjing is now handling the affairs of the state on his behalf.
He was wearing a black brocade robe made of high-quality fabrics, and his handsome features were even more beautiful. How could he consider that he was the most humble slave in the Wei Kingdom?
"Your Highness..."
There was no one else around now. The secret guard suddenly appeared in the hall. He leaned over and knelt down in front of Xie Rongjing respectfully.
"The secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report that the Crown Prince of Wei came to the door a few days ago and asked the Prime Minister to marry the young lady, but the Prime Minister bluntly refused."
"My father-in-law must have seen the evidence I ordered to send. It's very good..."
Xiao Rongjing's voice was low, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face after hearing that Wei Congyu failed in his attempt to marry his lady.
Originally, both Wei Congyu and Cao Guogong hid their own tricks. If he hadn't painstakingly collected evidence and handed it over to Prime Minister Yun, he might have been kept in the dark now.
Wei Congyu arranged a marriage with the young lady in order for the hero to save the beauty. Cao Guogong wanted to support the second prince born by the imperial concubine to ascend to the throne. He wanted to take the opportunity to kill the young lady and frame the crown prince's fault.
Now, his father-in-law would definitely not marry his young lady into the royal family of the Wei Kingdom.
At this time, someone knocked on the door twice outside the closed palace door, and the secret guard immediately ducked behind a pillar.
I saw a woman wearing a palace maid's costume swaying in carrying a porcelain bowl.
The maid looked at the handsome Xiao Rongjing sitting on the steps and couldn't help but take a few more shy glances.
"Your Highness, this servant is here to deliver the soothing soup to Your Highness on the order of the Queen."
The palace maid smelled heavily of makeup, her posture and tone of voice were very graceful, and every move she made was made with the intention of seducing her. It was obvious that she had come prepared.
Xiao Rongjing didn't even raise his head. He held a writing brush and wrote a few words on the memorial on the desk. He said in a light voice:
"Throw the body to the Queen."
The palace maid didn't understand Xiao Rongjing's words, and the next second she was stabbed in the neck by a guard hiding in the dark.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will order someone to throw this body into the Queen's palace later."
The secret guard calmly took back the bloody saber and half-knelt in front of Xiao Rongjing respectfully.
"He delivered soup and sent someone to seduce him. This successor... really took great pains."
Xiao Rongjing's voice was cold. He didn't expect that he was not dead yet and had returned to the palace at this juncture.
Now that he has full wings, he no longer needs to be afraid of her. On the contrary, she still wants to try to have a good relationship with him and send people to him.
He couldn't tolerate anyone except his young lady. She smelled so bad of makeup and powder, but the young lady's body fragrance was refreshing. Her voice was so pretentious that he was disgusted to death. The young lady's voice was delicate and soft. It sounded like he wanted to kiss her every day.
The young lady was the prettiest, and her voice was soft. As soon as he saw her, he couldn't walk.
The old emperor doesn't have a few days left. He will soon complete his plan, and he will soon be able to see the young lady he has longed for.
I don’t know if the young lady has gained weight again during this period. She must be very soft to the touch and taste more delicious...

The weather has warmed up since spring, and some flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion have bloomed.
In the small garden in the backyard, Yun Wu, who was wearing a green spring dress, was pruning flower branches, and Wei Jinyao, who was gorgeously dressed, was wandering around boredly with a flower in his hand.
"You haven't been willing to go out these days. It turns out you've been tinkering with the flowers you raised at home, right?"
"I'm just too lazy to go out..."
Yun Wu's pretty eyes were a little dodgeful, and she stopped after pruning a few flowers.
The last incident was not publicized, so Wei Jinyao didn't know that she was assassinated on the way out of the city. Although she was Wei Congyu's sister, she had no idea what Wei Congyu had done.
Yun Wu was a little frightened after what happened last time, and wouldn't go out unless she could, so it was Wei Jinyao who came to play with her.
"Miss! Miss!"
At this time, Chun Xing hurried over with a roll of something in her hand, and eagerly saluted Wei Jinyao and Yun Wu.
"The old emperor of Xiao Kingdom passed away two days ago, and now the new emperor has ascended the throne."
Chun Xing said eagerly, and Yun Wu had a confused look on her face. Does the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom's ascension to the throne have anything to do with her?
"Miss, look, this is the portrait of Xiao Rongjing, the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom!"
Chun Xing hurriedly unfolded the scroll of portraits in her hand. Yun Wu's blank eyes instantly became a little surprised, and even Wei Jinyao was startled.
The man in the portrait, wearing the emperor's crown and a handsome face, is the slave of the prime minister's daughter who disappeared a few months ago.
