The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

Chapter 273 Emperor Ming's murderous intention

It was clearly the dead of night, but at this moment it was as if thunder had struck out of nowhere.

Zong Kui's words hit Emperor Ming's heart like a heavy hammer, stirring up ripples in his originally calm heart.

Emperor Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and at this moment he had some of the aura and flavor of Empress Dowager Xie. He locked his eyes on Zong Kui, as if he wanted to see whether Zong Kui's words were true or false.

"There is no need for me to lie to you about this matter." Zong Kui seemed to see what Emperor Ming was thinking. He spoke again to dispel Emperor Ming's concerns.

Since Empress Dowager Xie refused to cooperate, it was no wonder that he was looking for another collaborator.

Times have changed, and Empress Dowager Xie's generation should have retired long ago.

At this moment, the dark night not only made Emperor Ming feel depressed, but Su Jixue, who was supposed to go to bed, looked at the obscured moonlight outside the window, with light flickering in her upturned peach blossom eyes.

Her left eye was still twitching faintly.

She felt inexplicably irritated and depressed, as if something bad had happened, but Su Jixue didn't know what it was.

"Chun Ya, what do you think of Zong Kui?" Su Jixue asked inexplicably.

She always felt that there was something wrong with Zong Kui, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"He's a formidable enemy." Chunya said succinctly, "Did the young lady add any other ingredients to the half of the antidote she gave him?"

Chunya could feel Su Jixue's murderous intention towards Zongkui, so she thought the eldest lady must have added something.

"That must be the case." Su Jixue looked at the dark night, her slightly furrowed brows and the haze hanging from the eaves on her face complementing each other, making her originally delicate face reveal a different temperament from before, as if this was how she should have looked.

But Zong Kui doesn't care about these things.

Just as Zong Kui understood her, Su Jixue also knew Zong Kui very well.

"Miss, do you still want to... kill him?" Chunya lowered her voice and asked in a low voice beside Su Jixue.

Su Jixue turned her head lazily and glanced at Chunya, who looked serious. "Why, do you want to help me realize my wish?"

The Chunya in front of me is a little different from when I first met her. When they first met at the Su family, although Chunya was helpful, she seemed a little distant.

But now, Chunya is considering Su Jixue very seriously.

Even though it was something that went against the will of the world, Chunya seemed willing to do it for her regardless of the consequences.

"As long as the young lady wants, Chunya can do it!" Chunya nodded solemnly.

Su Jixue raised the corners of her lips, revealing a bright smile, and pinched Chunya's cheek: "So cute."

Chunya blushed and couldn't help but say, "Miss, Chunya is serious!"

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice that she wasn't even aware of, as if she was a little annoyed by the eldest lady's joke.

"I know you're serious!" Su Jixue's smile was a bit scorching, and she retracted her finger: "But you can't kill him."

Su Jixue's peach blossom eyes, which were already bright and affectionate, seemed to be naturally full of affection when she gazed at someone.

Chunya raised her chin in dissatisfaction: "Miss, Chunya is very powerful!"

"Yes, I know." Su Jixue turned her eyes back and stared into the dark night: "But Zong Kui is also very powerful, and he has Shura Dao by his side."

In fact, the top masters in Liudao Pavilion all stayed with Zongkui.

Su Jixue recognized those people when she saw them, so she knew it would be difficult to succeed.

It was impossible to kill the people guarding Zong Kui in the Jinluan Palace silently. So the plan to kill Zong Kui was basically a failure this time.

However, Zong Kui will not have an easy time either.

After all, it won't be long before his legs really become paralyzed, and this is a big gift that Su Jixue gave to Zong Kui.

In fact, it’s not just Shura Dao, those mysterious tribesmen who have always been surrounding Zongkui are also among them.

Even Su Jixue had never known the depth of these people.

"Miss, let's call the Owl Camp over!" Chunya was only thinking about helping Su Jixue fulfill her wish at this moment.

"Silly girl." Su Jixue couldn't help but laugh again.

Now that the contract between the two countries has just been signed, if we cannot kill Zongkui silently, then we cannot kill Zongkui.

Chunya looked at Su Jixue worriedly. It was the first time she saw Su Jixue like this. She seemed a little uneasy, as if she was trying to decide something.

"Chun Ya, you must protect me well." Su Jixue stroked her twitching left eye with her hand and said calmly, "Just like before in Empress Dowager Xie's side hall, remember to wake me up in the same way if you see something is wrong."

She wanted to leave her body again to see what was going on.

Su Jixue had just reviewed all the conversations between Empress Dowager Xie and Zong Kui. Now she could only be sure of one fact, that is, Empress Dowager Xie must not have reached a consensus with Zong Kui.

Maybe Zongkui wanted to do something, but Empress Dowager Xie did not cooperate.

Zong Kui then turned his attention to Emperor Ming.

Based on Su Jixue's understanding of Zong Kui, Zong Kui would definitely not go if he was not absolutely sure that he could control Emperor Ming.

Empress Dowager Xie disagreed, but she was sure that Emperor Ming would agree.

Su Jixue's eyes flickered. If she guessed correctly, then the only option was her identity.

Empress Dowager Xie had given birth to Ji Xue, but sent her away. No one knew about this, so the most likely possibility was that she had another child to replace her.

You should know that Empress Dowager Xie only gave birth to Emperor Ming, and the eldest princess was not Empress Dowager Xie's biological daughter.

This means that there is something else behind Emperor Ming’s life story.

If there is something fishy about Emperor Ming's life story, and Zong Kui points it out... then Emperor Ming will definitely feel threatened.

She wanted to verify what she thought.

Moreover, Su Jixue's left eye, which had been twitching, reminded her that something bad must have happened to her.

Moreover, Zong Kui was in a hurry to return home because of this incident.

She wanted to know what it was.

Su Jixue lay quietly on the bed as she did last time.

At this moment, Emperor Ming had already urgently arranged for Zong Kui to leave the palace. Just before Zong Kui left, he glanced back at Emperor Ming with a hint of mockery and whispered, "Now you understand why Empress Dowager Xie was so determined to kill Prince Zhan."

Because the War King is the only remaining royal bloodline.

The night is dark, it is the darkest moment of the night, but it is also the time when the morning light is about to rise.

Zong Kui's words pierced into Emperor Ming's heart like a sharp knife.

Those phoenix eyes were full of malice.

"Regent, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise it will be dawn." The pale-faced Eunuch Feng urged Zong Kui, who seemed to want to make some shocking remarks.

Zong Kui finally stopped talking and walked out of the hall with Bei Su and Eunuch Feng. By this time, the two had already changed into Tai Dong Chu's eunuch uniforms and quickly disappeared into the night.

Emperor Ming stood in his bedroom, looking at the dark night outside the door. The emperor's face, which usually showed no emotion, was now covered with gloom, and there was unmistakable murderous intent in his eyes.

However, Su Jixue in the Cining Palace was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"Chun Ya, knock me out."
