Assassinating the Emperor
"Zhen wishes to confer the title of Princess of Dali as Jie Yu.”
Zhu Houzhao said slowly.
Right now, he still couldn't deal with both the empress dowager and Zhu Budian at the same time.
If he could form a marriage alliance with Dali, he would be able to send out experts to serve him, and his power would be replenished.
However, these were all plans for the near future. His main task was to increase his acting progress.
Qin Shihuang's cultivation made him very envious.
This included Ying Zheng's subordinates, the Yin-Yang School, the Golden Fire Cavalry, the armored soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles, and the secret guards who had been protecting Ying Zheng. They were all things that he needed very much now.
However, he could not rush this. He could only take it step by step.
Li Dongyang heard Zhu Houzhao's words and said,""Your Majesty, you are the wisest!"
Liu Jian also revealed an expression of 'I knew it'.
"Liu Jian, draft a decree on behalf of me to confer the title of Duan Xinyao and summon her into the palace.”
Zhu Houzhao said.
"Yes!"
On the other side, Liu Jian immediately jumped up from his chair and respectfully walked to the table. He dipped his brush in ink and waited for Zhu Houzhao to speak.
Zhu Houzhao wrote one sentence after another. After Zhu Houzhao took a look at it, he had his subordinates send it to the residence of the Dali Kingdom's diplomatic mission and sent away two cabinet scholars.
It was night.
Zhu Houzhao arrived at the palace where Duan Xinyao was temporarily arranged.
After conferring the title of Jie Yu, she became Zhu Houzhao's concubine.
Zhu Houzhao naturally wanted her to sleep with him.
At this moment, Duan Xinyao had already changed into the clothes of the imperial concubines of the Ming Dynasty, which combined with the beauty of the foreign country and gave off a different kind of charm.
"ChenQie welcomes Your Majesty!"
Duan Xinyao welcomed Zhu Houzhao into the room with a red face and dismissed the palace maids.
The nanny had already taught her all the rules she needed to learn, so Zhu Houzhao didn't show any neglect when he came to her bedroom.
Slowly and methodically, he removed the black dragon robe of this young emperor in front of him.
After the dragon robe was removed, she began to massage Zhu Houzhao's shoulders and legs.
Her small hands were very delicate and her strength was on point. Zhu Houzhao's tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed a little.
"Not bad."
Zhu Houzhao praised her and lowered his head to look at Duan Xinyao, who was taking off her shoes and socks.
Duan Xinyao also raised her head and revealed her pretty face. They exchanged a smile.
However, there was an indescribable strangeness in his eyes.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a bad feeling.
Why was she emitting killing intent?
In the next moment, Duan Xinyao took out a dagger from her leg and stabbed it into Zhu Houzhao's heart.
If this knife stabbed down…
Zhu Houzhao would definitely die! At such a close distance, even the Six Sword Slaves could not save him in time.
Duan Xinyao even revealed a proud smile.
It was as if Zhu Houzhao had already died in front of him!
However, what she did not expect was…
Zhu Houzhao had martial arts, and he was at the peak of the Xiantian Realm, which could even fight against an early-stage Zongshi!
His cultivation was much higher than hers.
With a furious expression, Zhu Houzhao mobilized his Genuine Qi and swung his palm at Duan Xinyao.
The pretty woman was sent flying with a bang. Her body smashed into the round table and fell on the floor tiles.
The broken pieces of wood from the porcelain cup scattered all over the ground.
"You dare to assassinate me!"
Zhu Houzhao walked forward barefooted, an uncontrollable fury burning in his chest.
If not for his martial arts.
He was now a corpse!
How could he not be furious when he failed to guard against Duan Xinyao?
Also, she could actually carry a dagger in the palace!
Did no one search her?
"You!"
"Why do you have martial arts?!"
Duan Xinyao's lips turned red as she looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.
Zhu Houzhao knew martial arts!
And he was much stronger than her! Why wasn't there any information about this?
Could it be that he had just cultivated it?
No, that was impossible!
With such a thick zhenqi, he was at least at the Xiantian realm.
Entering the Innate Realm at the age of sixteen?
What kind of genius was this!
Duan Xinyao was completely stunned.
Zhu Houzhao kicked the dagger in her hand away.
"Speak! Who instructed you?!"
He lifted Duan Xinyao's chin with the tip of his foot, and his eyes were filled with ferocity.
"Hmph!"
Duan Xinyao sneered and suddenly stopped breathing. Her eyes lost their luster.
Zhu Houzhao was shocked. He lifted her up and opened her mouth to take a look.
A stinky green liquid actually flowed out.
Poison!
Moreover, it was a poison that killed instantly.
A princess of a country would never be so decisive! If they failed to assassinate him, they would directly commit suicide by taking poison!
This was definitely a professional killer!
"Dali Kingdom! What are you trying to do!"
Zhu Houzhao threw Duan Xinyao's body onto the ground and grabbed his dragon robe.
The Six Sword Slaves appeared in the room when Zhu Houzhao swung his palm.
But seeing that their master was safe, they didn't make a move.
At this moment, the two beauties immediately grabbed the dragon robe and helped Zhu Houzhao put it on.
"Moryo! Go to the East Hall and tell Zhao Gao!"
"Let him personally lead the Embroidered Uniform Guards to capture Duan Zheng Chun of Dali! I want to see her dead or alive!"
Among the Six Sword Slaves, Moryo had the best Lightness Skill.
Zhu Houzhao told him to go to the East Hall to inform Zhao Gao and send the East Hall Brocade Guard to capture Duan Zheng Chun.
He just wanted to take a look.
What's the point of having big dreams!
Marriage? Alliance? Fight Mongolia together?
They were all pretense, and now they actually sent a professional assassin to assassinate him!
If he didn't flatten the Dali Kingdom, it would be difficult for him to vent this anger in his heart!
The Wangliang immediately retreated.
The guards outside the door finally rushed in.
At this moment, the other five assassins also hid.
"Your Majesty!"
The imperial guard with a saber looked at the scene in the room with fear.
The dagger, the dead princess of Dali Kingdom, and the thick green and stinky venom that dripped onto the ground.
As well as the Emperor, whose face was filled with ruthlessness.
What happened in the span of a few breaths?
"Your subordinate came late to save you. Your Majesty, please punish me!”
The imperial guard knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness in fear.
The guards behind him also knelt down.
Zhu Houzhao ignored them. He snorted coldly and walked out of the room barefooted.
The two eunuchs hurriedly went into the room to get their shoes and chased after him.
"Your Majesty! You can't go barefoot!"
they shouted in shrill voices.
