Chapter 253: See through!
Following which several figures landed silently in the yard.
The leader made a gesture to the others and then moved to the window of Prince Jin's bedroom.
At this moment in the bedroom, Prince Jin was lying quietly on the sickbed with his eyes closed.
After confirming that Prince Jin had fallen into a deep sleep, the figure then made a gesture to the others.
Immediately afterwards, several figures sneaked into Prince Jin's bedroom through the window.
Looking at Prince Jin who was still sleeping soundly on the sickbed, a cold light flashed in the figure's eyes.
The next second, several cold lights appeared and stabbed towards King Jin who was lying on the sickbed!
However, just when they were about to succeed.
The King of Jin, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. I never thought that my good brother would actually send someone to kill me."
"But you guys underestimate me too much!"
As soon as Prince Jin finished speaking, several figures froze in place.
They didn't expect that their cautious actions were discovered by King Jin.
But soon, the leading figure came back to his senses.
"Hurry up, he's stalling for time!"
With his reminder, everyone came back to their senses.
At this time, outside the courtyard, the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard.
After reacting, several figures rushed towards King Jin, waving daggers in their hands.
Facing the attacks from several people, King Jin smiled slightly and spoke.
"Xiong Kehui, where is Xu Mang!?"
"I will be here (I will be here)!"
Before Prince Jin could finish his words, Xiong Kehui and Xu Mang emerged from under the bed.
Almost in an instant, the two of them swung their swords and knocked all the killers away.
"As early as when you came into contact with Tian'er, this king knew your intentions."
"While killing this king, poison Jiang Chen and then use Tian'er to stabilize the North."
"When you achieve your goal, kill Tian'er."
Looking at the several assassins who were seriously injured by Xiong Kehui and Xu Mang, Prince Jin revealed their purpose.
"What a pity, you and my good brother all underestimated me."
"I have ruled the North for many years. Do you really think I will let you succeed?!"
After saying this, King Jin closed his eyes and began to cough violently.
His condition had just improved a little, but the continuous loud talking was still a bit too much for him.
Seeing that Prince Jin was beginning to feel unwell, Xiong Kehui quickly gave orders to the soldiers who had rushed in.
"Take them away, and call the doctor!"
"Yes, General."
But before the soldiers could take action, those figures suddenly turned their heads and died.
Seeing the killers suddenly losing their lives, Xu Mang hurriedly ran up.
After checking them one by one, Xu Mang turned around helplessly and said to King Jin.
"Your Majesty, these assassins have already committed suicide by taking poison."
"As expected of a warrior trained by the late emperor, it seems that the old eunuch is also ready to stand on the side of Yu Anmin."
Having said that, King Jin shook his head helplessly.
“Why, why on earth!?”
"I have no intention of getting involved in the throne now, why are you still unwilling to let me go!?"
Prince Jin roared weakly , and his heart was filled with extreme pain.
Seeing Prince Jin in such distress, Xu Mang and Xiong Kehui on the side couldn't help but hurried to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down first. The imperial family has always been ruthless."
"No matter what choice you make, they won't let you off easily."
"The most important thing right now is to quickly inform the Duke of Fuguo and tell him to be careful of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
But before Xiong Kehui could finish, Xu Mang on the side spoke.
"Now, I'm afraid it's a little late..."
Hearing this, Xiong Kehui suddenly became anxious and quickly pulled Xu Mang's hand and asked.
"What's going on? Didn't you come here after making sure that Lord Jiang was fine?"
Faced with Xiong Kehui's anxious inquiries, Xu Mang lowered his head helplessly and answered slowly.
"It's too late. Lord Jiang has already gone to attend the banquet hosted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As Xu Mang answered Xiong Kehui's question, Xiong Kehui suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
Then Xiong Kehui's legs went weak and he was about to faint.
Seeing this, Xu Mang, who was standing by, quickly reached out and supported Xiong Kehui in time.
Xiong Kehui, who was supported in Xu Mang's arms, quickly came to his senses and hurriedly spoke to King Jin beside him.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to protect Lord Jiang as soon as possible!"
"Master Jiang, nothing can happen!"
While Xiong Kehui was worried about Jiang Chen, at Qinghe Restaurant.
Jiang Chen was staring at Yu Lingtian and Zheng Qinghe in front of him with a cold face.
Under Jiang Chen's gaze, Yu Lingtian and Zheng Qinghe both tensed up.
The two of them didn't even dare to breathe, and cold sweat slowly seeped down their foreheads.
Looking at the two guilty people, Jiang Chen raised a sneer and asked lightly.
"Your Highness, Boss Zheng, why are you two not talking?!"
"Is there something wrong with this wine?"
When asked this by Jiang Chen, Yu Lingtian, who was already feeling extremely guilty, suddenly felt his heart rise to his throat.
But when he thought that as long as he got rid of Jiang Chen, he could inherit the throne of King Jin.
Thinking of this, Yu Lingtian gritted his teeth, and replied to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"You are joking, Prince Fuguo. How dare I poison you who have made great contributions to the Xia Kingdom?"
"This prince dare not drink this wine, just because it is very old."
"This is another heirloom of Shopkeeper Zheng. Shopkeeper Zheng brought out the wine for you."
"So, this prince cannot drink this wine!"
After saying this, Yu Lingtian couldn't help but give himself a full score for his wit in his heart.
But he forgot that he had once worked hard in the palace.
Moreover, it was with the intrigues and schemes of the eunuchs and palace maids that Jiang Chen finally reached where he is today.
In fact, you can tell at a glance whether Yu Lingtian is lying or not!
Seeing that Yu Lingtian was still unwilling to give up and was still making excuses, Jiang Chen completely lost his patience.
"Your Highness, it seems that you underestimate Jiang."
"If Jiang is not mistaken, there should have been poison in this wine, right?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Lingtian's expression changed instantly and he turned pale.
Zheng Qinghe, who was standing by, watched this scene and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The next second, before everyone could react, Zheng Qinghe flashed away!
Then, a dagger appeared out of nowhere in his hand.
Holding the dagger in his hand, Zheng Qinghe stabbed Jiang Chen straight in the heart!
Looking at this sudden scene, Prime Minister Huo reacted in time.
"My lord, be careful!!"
