Chapter 190: The watered white lotus...has a really big ambition!
"what?"
The man's eyes widened. He never expected that things would come to this point!
The last time Jin Lehuang found him, she wanted him to find an opportunity to kill the third prince, but he was afraid at that time and did not agree.
"Princess, it's all my fault for being too timid at the time, otherwise you wouldn't be so passive! I..."
"This matter is not to blame, General. He is the prince after all. General, you are loyal to Daxia, how could you do such an unkind and unjust thing? It's only because Le Huang was hesitant and didn't dare to speak out!"
"This matter has now endangered not only Le Huang's life, but also the Crown Prince. The general is loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness is harmed by them, I am afraid there will be no chance of recovery!"
"How could this be? How could this happen?"
The man was none other than Huo Wenwu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. He had been favored by the prince in his early years and was now the prince's man. He had been to the prince's mansion once two years ago and had met Jin Lehuang by chance.
I was stunned by her beauty for a moment and became obsessed with her.
Jin Lehuang didn't seem to resist him either. In the following years, the two met many times. Every time he saw Jin Lehuang, Huo Wenwu was fascinated by her.
The last time Jin Lehuang found him, she promised him that if he eliminated the third prince, she would ask the crown prince to act as a matchmaker and marry Huo Wenwu.
Huo Wenwu's heart was burning with anxiety, but since it was an assassination of the prince after all, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Unexpectedly, because of his fear, things have come to this point. He blamed himself and said, "Princess, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for being cowardly! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been kind to me, and you, Princess, have shown me great favor. It's all my fault..."
"No, no!"
Jin Lehuang quickly said, "It's also because I didn't explain myself clearly at the beginning. Otherwise, with your loyalty, you would definitely not refuse!"
"Hi!"
Huo Wenwu said angrily, "It's almost the end of the year, and His Majesty has ordered the princes to stay home to prepare for the New Year. I've lost the opportunity to eliminate him now. I..."
"General, Yuheng has been imprisoned. Do you think killing the Third Prince will be of any use now?"
Jin Lehuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Now it's a matter of life and death. If something happens, the prince will definitely be imprisoned in the palace, and then I will also be killed!"
"What should I do? I can't let you get hurt!" Huo Wenwu said in shock.
Jin Lehuang sighed, "Now we have no choice but to do it once and for all. Before this matter is concluded, we must quickly help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seize the throne. In this way, you and I..."
"Princess, are you planning a rebellion?"
Huo Wenwu opened his mouth wide. He never expected that the assassination of the prince would escalate directly into rebellion!
"This is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of your clan, Princess!"
"Isn't assassinating the prince considered an offense?"
Jin Lehuang said disdainfully, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you you're a coward! Now that the truth has been exposed, if we don't act quickly, we'll all be doomed when the butcher's knife is hanging over our necks!"
"Your loyalty to the Crown Prince cannot be concealed from anyone with ulterior motives. If the Crown Prince is gone, I'm afraid your position in the Imperial Guard will be unstable!"
"Can……"
It was a rebellion after all!
He only had 10,000 men on his side, and the Imperial Guard had another 40,000 men. He simply wasn't enough...
"General, there is no room for hesitation on this matter!"
Jin Lehuang said softly, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will be the most meritorious official of the new dynasty. It will be no problem for you to be granted a title of nobility. General, with such merit, you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry you!"
"Otherwise, given the general's current status, even if Le Huang admires the general, I'm afraid..."
"But this is too difficult! Although my troops are stationed in the palace, there are other imperial guards in the palace. This..."
"But what if it's you, the general, who's on duty?"
"???"
Huo Wenwu was stunned and asked, "Princess, are you saying..."
"Now that there is another grand court meeting, the court will be on break to prepare for the New Year. Even if something happens now, it will be dealt with next year. If we take action on New Year's Eve during this time, we will have a better chance of success!"
"New Year's Eve?"
Huo Wenwu was stunned for a moment, then thought of Jin Lehuang's words and said, "My princess, are you saying that I will be the one guarding New Year's Eve?"
"exactly!"
Jin Lehuang said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made all the arrangements. As long as the general nods, we will be blessed with wealth, power, fame, and even..."
"I... am also yours, General!"
Jin Lehuang threw a coquettish glance shyly, and Huo Wenwu swallowed subconsciously!
But since it was a job of rebellion, he was a little scared and hesitant. Seeing this, Jin Lehuang did not disturb him, but his eyes were misty again.
Huo Wenwu looked at it and felt very distressed.
On one side was the master he was loyal to and the beautiful woman he loved, and on the other side was a serious crime that could cost him his life. He was really hesitant.
a long time!
Jin Lehuang suddenly took something out of his arms, and as if with infinite sorrow, he slowly poured some medicinal powder into the wine glass.
"Princess, you..." Huo Wenwu looked at Jin Lehuang in shock.
Jin Lehuang said coldly, "Rebellion is no small matter. General, you are hesitant. Even if you try hard, it will be difficult to succeed. So, please don't bother with this matter!"
"However, as the Princess of Yun State, how could I, Jin Lehuang, endure the humiliation in prison? Today, I will drink a cup of poisoned wine and end the rest of my life. I hope that on the anniversary of Lehuang's death, the general will come to my grave and offer a cup of light wine to pay tribute..."
"No, no!"
Huo Wenwu's eyes were bloodshot and he reached out to grab the wine glass, but Jin Lehuang immediately resisted.
"Don't worry about me. I would rather die than endure that kind of humiliation. I..."
"Princess, I promise, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
Jin Lehuang paused, raised his head suspiciously, and asked, "Really?"
"real!"
"No regrets?"
"I will never regret it!"
Huo Wenwu answered firmly, then softened his tone: "I have never seen a woman like the princess, I..."
"General, stop talking. I believe you!"
Jin Lehuang looked at Hou Wenwu lovingly for a while before she said, "But the situation is urgent right now, and I have a few things to discuss with the general!"
"Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are at risk of being exposed at any time. As the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, His Majesty will naturally not choose to punish him at this time. However, I am different!"
"Then what are you going to do, Princess?"
"I plan to leave the capital tonight and wait for you at a farm ten miles north of the city. To prevent you from being held captive, I plan to take your elderly mother and only son with me. This way, we can prevent anyone from using them as hostages to threaten you!"
"What?"
Huo Wenwu was stunned!
As the deputy commander of the imperial guards, he naturally had women before, but his first wife died early, leaving behind a young son and an old mother.
He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "My Lady, you have been very thoughtful. This matter is of great importance. Having Mother and Zhou'er leave the capital will indeed ease my worries. I will listen to you, my Lady!"
He knew that once he said this, he had no way out.
but……
Whether it was sincerity or a threat, he couldn't decide. He looked at Jin Lehuang and said, "Princess, this is a dangerous matter. I don't know if it can be accomplished. I only have one wish..."
Jin Lehuang's heart was as clear as a mirror when she heard this. She tapped Huo Wenwu's forehead lightly: "You look like a dead man!"
As she spoke, she slowly reached for the knot around her waist...
