Chapter 908 Wolf's Ambition
After waiting for a long time, when Su Hao began to feel irritated, he vaguely saw a huge team not far away.
At the front is the guards who open the road, and behind are several luxurious carriages, which are the three people sitting inside, and behind are some vehicles carrying goods, which should be filled with items to pay tribute to the emperor.
When the team reached the city gate, three men slowly came down from the carriage, one of which was a medium-sized man with deep eyebrows and a glance could tell that he was an outsider.
Mo Fan noticed that Su Hao was staring at the man and whispered beside her, "That person was the envoy of the country that King Jing led his troops to suppress."
"Okay, I get it." Su Hao nodded.
No wonder from the first time I saw that man just now, Su Hao vaguely noticed that the man had a deep hatred in his eyes when he looked at her. Although he tried his best to cover it up, Su Hao was still discovered.
"The people in their country should hate Prince Jing quite?" Su Hao asked with a chuckling.
"Yes." Mo Fan replied expressionlessly.
Three people came to Su Hao to walk towards Su Hao with a false smile on his face. Su Hao also turned over and dismounted and bowed to them.
"I heard about the reputation of King Jing for a long time, but today I saw it very different." One of them smiled flatteringly.
The other person quickly agreed, and the remaining one who hated Prince Jing only had a stiff smile on his face. Su Hao saw these details one by one.
"Everyone has been working hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work. The emperor has prepared a feast in the palace and ordered me to come and welcome you into the palace." Su Hao smiled faintly.
"I'm sorry, King Jing." The three came to get on the carriage again.
Su Hao also turned over and returned to the horse's back. Mo Fan rode another horse and followed him. A large group of people marched towards the palace gate. There were many ordinary people on the street looking at the fun.
After successfully sending the envoys to the palace, Su Hao took off his cloak armor and put on his light official uniform, and attended the feast prepared by the emperor for the envoys.
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood today, and his face kept smiling. The ministers and officials exchanged cups and sang and danced in the hall, which was very lively.
Halfway through the banquet, the envoy of the Fanbian said that there was a gift to be presented to the emperor. The emperor agreed with a smile. Su Hao had already found out that the man's name was Bater.
"Your Majesty, this is a gift prepared by me personally. I hope the emperor likes it." Battel is proficient in the language of the Central Plains. In addition to the lack of standard pronunciation, there is no major problem with communicating.
"Oh? What good thing is it? Come and let me see it." The emperor said with great interest.
Bartel took a beautiful wooden box from his servant. The box was not big, similar to the jewelry box of ordinary women. The dark red wood was covered with exquisite carvings.
No one could guess what was inside. But Bartel smiled and did not answer immediately. After buying a close call, the people at the banquet were curious about looking at the exquisite wooden box in his hand.
"Please allow me not to reveal the answer for the time being. I will open the box and watch it in person before the emperor can bring surprises." Bartel smiled mysteriously, and then walked towards the emperor step by step with the wooden box.
For some reason, Su Hao's eyelids twitched a few times, and he felt a little panic in his heart. He seemed to have a bad premonition, as if something big was about to happen.
The guests in the hall stretched their necks to wait for the wooden box to be opened. Su Hao looked as Bater got closer and closer to the emperor, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Finally, Battel walked up to the emperor with the wooden box. At this time, the distance between the two was just so far away with one arm, very close.
Bartel slowly opened the box, and everyone stared at it wide. When the box was completely opened, Su Hao suddenly saw a trace of metallic cold light flashing inside, and suddenly screamed in his heart.
The next second, Bartel took out a sharp dagger from the box and rushed towards the emperor. The emperor was stunned at first, and then shouted for protection.
Everyone screamed, and many people took a breath of air. Just as Batal held the dagger and was about to stab the emperor's chest. Fortunately, the guard next to him reacted quickly and stopped him with a sword, and stabbed him with a sword in turn.
When the sword penetrated into his chest, Bartel's face turned pale and blood flowed from his chest.
"Someone assassinate the emperor and protect the emperor!"
"Come!"
The ministers in the hall shouted afterwards, and the whole scene was in chaos. The Imperial Guards rushed over quickly and finally took down all the followers who came with Batal and him.
"I'm so brave, I dare to assassinate me, and say! Who instructed you?!" The smile on the emperor's face disappeared, and he looked like he was trying to eat people.
The emperor grabbed a teacup and threw it at Battel, which hit him on the forehead. A big hole was broken, and blood slowly flowed down his forehead, and even dripped into his eyes, dyeing his eyes red.
He opened his scarlet eyes, stared at the emperor tightly, and then cursed loudly, "Hahaha, Dog Emperor, I almost succeeded just now. There are many people who want your dog's life."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll ask you again, who instructed you? If you don't say it, I'll chop off your fingers one by one until you're willing to say it." The emperor said with a grim expression.
Bartel laughed wildly for a while, then looked around the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Su Hao. Su Hao felt a little shocked, and he had a bad premonition.
"That person is King Jing." Bater said with a cold face, pointing at Su Hao and shouting loudly.
After he said this, the hall was quiet for a few seconds, and then it exploded like a drop of water dropping into the oil pan.
"Who did he say? King Jing?!"
"My God, will Prince Jing really do such a traitor?"
"I know people but my face but not my heart. Who knows? After all, King Jing has half of the military power in his hands, and maybe he has some bold thoughts in his heart."
Everyone whispered, their eyes staring at Su Hao like a torch. Su Hao felt the unfriendly sight from all directions, and his whole body was like blood flowing backwards.
"Master, he is lying, don't believe him!" Su Hao pulled out his sword from Mo Fan, walked quickly to Bater, put the sword across his neck, and glared at the man who framed her.
Bater was not afraid to look up at Su Hao, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "King Jing, now that the matter is exposed, do you plan to kill me to silence me? When you asked me to plan this matter, that was not the case."
Su Hao was angry and anxious, and kicked Bater viciously in the chest, kicked him to the ground, pointing at him and scolding "All nonsense!"
The emperor sitting in the position
With a gloomy face, he asked coldly, "King Jing, what he said is true? Did you instruct Battel to assassinate me?"
"No, Master!" Su Hao quickly denied it loudly.
"Then why did he point out to you, not others?!" The emperor put a row of tables with force, making a loud bang, and suddenly there was no sound, and no one dared to say anything.
Su Hao's hands holding the sword were trembling, and her back was soaked in cold sweat. She didn't know how to give a perfect explanation, because she herself didn't understand what was going on.
Why did Batal suddenly assassinate the emperor and then blame her?
"Emperor, King Jing is now in a major suspicion. I ask the emperor to temporarily detain King Jing in the dungeon and make a date for interrogation." A minister asked for instructions.
Immediately, many ministers who usually hate Prince Jing also agreed. The emperor stared at Su Hao for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Come on, take Prince Jing down and temporarily detain the dungeon."
"Yes!" The imperial guards surrounded Su Hao, locked her with both hands, and then dragged her away with force.
Su Hao's face was pale and his hands and feet were weak. She originally thought that today was just an ordinary banquet, but who knew it would become her Hongmen Banquet.
Looking at Su Hao who was dragged away, Mo Fan's face was anxious, which was usually expressionless. He took advantage of the chaos and no one paid attention to it, and immediately rushed back to Prince Jing's Mansion to report the matter to Li.
"What? You said she was locked in the dungeon?!" After hearing Mo Fan's report, Li's hand shook, and the teacup in his hand fell down and smashed it on the ground.
Something happened still. She was worried that during the period when King Jing was in a coma, what would happen to Su Hao? If something happened to Su Hao, then the real King Jing's coma would be exposed, and the entire Prince Jing's mansion would be in trouble.
After receiving the bad news from the palace, Li felt his blood flowing back and his face was pale. She knew that the matter was getting worse this time, and the emperor would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.
But Su Hao had no reason to collude with her without hiding it and assassinate the emperor. She believed that Su Hao did not have the courage for the time being, so what was going on? Could it be that someone framed her?
When Li was in a mess, the palace was in chaos. King Jing colluded to make the news of assassinating the emperor spread quickly like wings.
Strangely, in the past, if there was any news in the palace, the emperor would usually block the news as soon as possible and prevent it from being spread outside the palace. After all, not everyone can know the secret history of the royal family.
This time the emperor did not take any news at all and allowed the assassination to take a walk from the palace. Soon, the entire Luoyang City learned about this.
"Have you heard that King Jing colluded with him to instruct him to assassinate the emperor?"
"Of course I heard that for such a big thing, who doesn't know about the entire Luoyang City now?"
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that King Jing was so ambition, it was really terrible."
There were many discussions on the streets of Luoyang City, and the people were discussing this matter without any hesitation. There was even a storyteller who had compiled this matter into storytelling material.
Let’s talk about it at the banquet that received the envoys, after Su Hao was identified in the hall, he was dragged down by the Imperial Guards and imprisoned in the dungeon. The banquet was forced to be suspended and did not continue.
The emperor issued an order, and King Jing was suspected of being a major suspect, so he would be interrogated at a date. If it was confirmed that King Jing did it, the crime would be serious.
