Emperor Youning never thought that they actually took advantage of Xue Heng. Xue Heng probably didn't even know that he was being used at this moment. It was precisely because of this that Emperor Youning believed in Xue Heng, and the brave army led by Wang Zheng would also deeply believe in Xue Heng.
These people entered the Northwest King City and walked into a trap. The result was...
Emperor Youning closed his eyes, and suddenly he had another violent cough. Liu Sanzhi handed him a handkerchief, but Emperor Youning did not take it. He quickly suppressed the cough, and his face, which had seemed to have regained its color, quickly turned pale. He stared at the chess game which was gradually showing a downward trend, and reluctantly pressed down a piece. How similar was the struggle to maintain the chessboard to his current struggle to support his body
"When it comes to careful planning, I'm afraid no one in the world can match you." Emperor Youning slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Xihe. "You just told my mother that it was because Yu confirmed that the person my mother released to the northwest was from the Xue family. I want to hear this."
The fact is that she had long been sure that Xue Jinqiao was the empress dowager's spy, and she had cracked Xue Jinqiao's trick before Xue Jinqiao sent a message to the empress dowager. She even instructed Xue Jinqiao to tell the empress dowager the secret of the Tan family.
This was used to lure Xue Heng into the trap, forcing him to completely choose to surrender to Your Majesty in order to protect Xue Jinqiao.
"I'm competing with the Queen Mother, and the outcome is still unknown. How dare I show my true colors in front of Your Majesty?" Shen Xihe did not deny it. The answer was obvious. "The northwest and northeast regions are beyond Your Majesty's reach. If Your Majesty knew just now that it was all my plot, I'm afraid the brave army under the command of Prince Xun would not have entered the palace."
Now that we have come this far, how can we keep the fish trapped in the net
If His Majesty had known the truth earlier, he would have had time to change his plan and order Xiao Changfeng to take his brave army far away from the capital, lurk in one place at all times and monitor him.
Shen Xihe had no intention of changing the dynasty. Even if Xiao Changfeng took his men and fled far away, he would have to remain anonymous for the rest of his life. Probably influenced by Xiao Huayong, Shen Xihe didn't like the feeling of losing control.
Emperor Youning thought, if Shen Xihe had revealed just now, as the Queen Mother had said, that everything was controlled by her, what would be his choice? Perhaps he would still go all out, or perhaps he would really make them retreat in time as Shen Xihe had expected.
Since the situation has been decided and there is no way to stop Shen Xihe, it would be better to put a pair of eyes to watch her at all times.
However, Shen Xihe cut off even this possibility, cleanly and neatly.
Putting aside her identity as an emperor, Shen Xihe was a daughter of the Shen family, and Emperor Youning had to agree that perhaps it would be a blessing for the people if Shen Xihe became the emperor.
"So, King Xun has no chance of winning? Who is it? A'ruo?" Emperor Youning's hand began to tremble slightly as he made his move.
He felt the strength in his body slowly weakening, and his end must be approaching.
Shen Xihe shook his head slightly and said, "I have never lied to Princess Xun."
She treated Shen Yingruo as a dispensable person, so naturally she would not ask Shen Yingruo for help at a critical moment under the banner of blood relationship. However, Shen Yingruo's choice made her feel a little complicated...
Yu Sangning was rescued by the Queen Mother to sow discord between Shen Yingruo and Shen Xihe. If Shen Yingruo could hate Shen Xihe because of this, it might give the Queen Mother an unexpected surprise.
Apart from Yu Sangning, the Queen Mother had no luck finding anyone.
