Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 253 Chengnan Accident

Yun Yuxi personally directed the little palace maids to bring the carefully prepared dishes to Longwu Palace.

When Emperor Suwen returned to Longwu Hall, he saw Yan Wuque sitting in a wheelchair, playing chess alone, with a happy smile on his face. This scene made Emperor Suwen feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He couldn't help but think to himself: "What virtue and ability does Yan Wuque have to marry a woman like Yun Yuxi as his princess? And I have become the one who granted them marriage..." He felt like vomiting blood in his heart, and Emperor Su Wen was in an extremely heavy mood at this time.

Not long after, Eunuch Liu led a group of palace maids to bring in sumptuous food, and Yun Yuxi followed closely behind. She walked straight to Yan Wuque, squatted down, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat. I specially prepared your favorite dishes for you!"

Emperor Su Wen watched the loving couple interacting with each other, and felt increasingly bitter. He couldn't help but cough twice.

After the palace maids had arranged the dishes, they all left. Yun Yuxi gently pushed Yan Wuque to the dining table, only to see that Emperor Su Wen had already sat firmly on the throne, and the great eunuch Liu was busy arranging the tableware.

A table full of delicious food was placed in front of them. Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi ate with gusto, occasionally feeding each other. A sweet atmosphere filled the air.

However, Emperor Suwen felt that the food in his mouth was like chewing wax, with no taste at all. He was filled with regret and wished he would not keep them for dinner.

After the meal, Yan Wuque and his wife stood up to say goodbye, and invited Emperor Su Wen to go to the south of the city to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In the carriage, Yun Yuxi spoke out Emperor Su Wen's thoughts. Yan Wuque felt cold all over, his eyes were icy, and he remained silent.

Yun Yuxi could understand that no man could accept another man thinking about his wife, so she looked at Yan Wuque in his arms and said softly: "Don't worry, the dog emperor is not as handsome as the prince, and I don't like him either!"

Yan Wuque felt much better. He pressed Yun Yuxi and kissed her. Yun Yuxi's moans were soon heard from the carriage. Chi Yan, who was driving the carriage, felt itchy in his heart.

In the south of the city, Ji Lanchen directed everyone to build a stage, then started a fire and cooked. The remaining food was given to the villagers in the slums.

In the early morning, after the morning court session, Emperor Suwen led his ministers to the south of the city and dispatched the Green Forest Army for protection. It was a huge scene and people along the way knelt down one after another.

Yun Yuxi pushed Yan Wuque and rushed to the south of the city to give orders. Yan Wuque sent many people to secretly protect Emperor Su Wen. Emperor Su Wen must not get into any trouble when he comes to the south of the city today.

The Third Prince's assassins from the Netherworld Pavilion mixed in with the common people, preparing to assassinate Emperor Suwen. Unknown to him, Emperor Suwen had also dispatched the Divine Hidden Guards to protect him secretly, as well as Yan Wuque's men from the Rebirth Tower to protect him.

Emperor Su Wen soon arrived at the south of the city. The area was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun. They knelt down and shouted "Long live Emperor Su Wen". Emperor Su Wen was in a good mood. Yun Yuxi had indeed not lied to him.

Soon, Lingyi took the stage to host the event, describing the future of Chengnan with great passion and emotion. The people applauded, especially the original residents of Chengnan, who were somewhat incredulous. Didn't they expect Chengnan to really become a commercial center?

The brave ones started to question, "Sir, is this true? Then we will renovate the slum. Where will we live? Although we are poor, at least we have a shelter from the wind and rain. If it is demolished, where will we go? We do not agree to move away."

"That's right, that's right, we don't agree to move away," the people in the south of the city were in high spirits and the scene became chaotic. At this time, Yun Yuxi turned around, landed steadily on the stage, and used his inner strength to say loudly:

"Fellow villagers, please be quiet. I am the Regent Princess, the person in charge of the south city. Please listen to me and I will answer your questions." The people quieted down and looked at the stunning Yun Yuxi on the stage.

Yun Yuxi looked at the quiet people and continued, "Don't be afraid, we will build temporary houses for you to live in temporarily. We will demolish the slums and rebuild new houses, and then redistribute them according to your family members. It's completely free, and all the people in the south of the city will enjoy this treatment."

"Why should we believe you?" Although the people were looking forward to what Yun Yuxi said, they were just ordinary people and felt that there were not so many good things waiting for them in the world. Maybe they were just tricked into moving away.

Yun Yuxi was not angry either, and said loudly, "Good question. Today, I have invited the emperor to come on stage."

At this time, the people hurriedly knelt down and shouted long live the emperor.

Emperor Suwen had no choice but to step onto the stage, cleared his throat, and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, my words are my bond, what the Regent Princess said today is absolutely true."

When the people heard Emperor Suwen's promise, they shouted "Long live the emperor!" and praised him as a good emperor. Emperor Suwen was very happy and in a good mood.

Next, Lingyi took out a red silk with a big red flower on it, handed over a pair of scissors, and asked Emperor Suwen to cut the ribbon. Emperor Suwen felt more excited than ever before.

The applause from the audience was warm and lasted for a long time. Emperor Su Wen secretly sighed in his heart that Yun Yuxi was indeed different from other women and had such strange thoughts in her mind.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony in the south of the city ended perfectly. Ji Lanchen directed everyone to build temporary houses. The people in the south of the city came to help spontaneously. Yun Yuxi asked Ji Lanchen to register and pay them. This moved the people in the south of the city and they admired Yun Yuxi and the Regent's Palace even more.

All the ministers witnessed the ceremony in the south of the city and regretted that they had not bought enough land in the south of the city. Emperor Suwen dismissed all the ministers, took the eunuch Liu to change his clothes, and prepared to take a walk in Kyoto.

The Third Prince's men took advantage of this opportunity to kill Emperor Suwen.

Many men in black surrounded Emperor Su Wen. His eyes were dark and unclear, but he was not worried. After all, he brought the Divine Hidden Guards with him. Soon, the Divine Hidden Guards landed in front of Emperor Su Wen.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the battle was very intense. The people from the Wangsheng Tower did not show up. When he found out that the Shenyin Guards were following them, Yan Wuque withdrew the people from the Wangsheng Tower.

The assassins from the Netherworld Pavilion were all desperate criminals, and their moves were ruthless as they approached Emperor Su Wen. The Hidden Guards were not many, only ten in total, and Emperor Su Wen only brought three of them today. There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Although the Hidden Guards were highly skilled in martial arts, they were few in number.

Soon Emperor Su Wen was unable to dodge and was stabbed on the arm. At this time, the Green Forest Army rushed over and surrounded him. The killer from the Netherworld Pavilion saw that there were too many people, so he took out the Thunderbolt Pearl and threw it on the ground. With a puff of white smoke, the people from the Netherworld Pavilion disappeared without a trace.

Eunuch Liu had fainted from fright, so Emperor Suwen ordered his men to carry Eunuch Liu to the Regent's Palace. Emperor Suwen tore off a strip of cloth and wrapped it around his arm, preparing to let Yun Yuxi treat him.
