Quan Jiuzhou said, “The soldiers of the southern frontier all have shockingly lethal weapons. They are also very vigilant. Our people were found out after asking a few questions as soon as they entered the southern frontier.”
Weapons with astonishing lethality. What if Chu Tianbao directly led his troops to attack?
Chu Mingxuan gritted his teeth. “He must be eliminated!”
Quan Jiuzhou coughed again and said with a pale face, “Uncle will think of a way to plant people in the southern frontier as soon as possible to assassinate them.”
None of the things that Quan Jiuzhou did went smoothly.
Chu Mingxuan’s expression turned cold. From the corner of his eye, he saw a portrait of a woman in the letter. He took it out and found it familiar.
Quan Jiuzhou said, “This is Gu Junyan’s wife. I found her painting in Woqian Town.”
Chu Mingxuan looked at it carefully and felt that these eyes and nose were a little similar to his secondary consort.
He couldn’t help asking, “What’s her name?”
Quan Jiuzhou said, “Bai Wutong.”
“Bai Wutong?”
“Her surname is Bai!”
Chu Mingxuan suddenly grabbed the writing paper and rushed out of the door.
Quan Jiuzhou watched as he left and slowly bent down to pick up the envelope. He muttered in a low voice, “It’s interesting that his brother has married his wife’s sister. Interesting, cough, cough…”
Chu Mingxuan rushed back to the residence and suddenly pushed open Bai Xinshui’s room.
Bai Xinshui dodged back in fear, afraid that Chu Mingxuan would torture her in broad daylight.
Chu Mingxuan stared at Bai Xinshui’s face and looked at it again and again. He picked up the portrait and grabbed her wrist. “Do you have a sister?”
Chu Mingxuan’s current appearance was too ferocious and terrifying. Bai Xinshui was so frightened that she cried. “1 do have a sister, but she’s already dead.”
Chu Mingxuan took out the portrait and threw it at her face. “She might not be dead!”
Bai Xinshui took the portrait and asked in confusion, “What?”
Chu Mingxuan pinched her face. “You’ll know soon.”
The next day, Chu Mingxuan entered the palace.
Emperor Ling Hui knew that he had secretly sent someone to assassinate Chu Tianbao and Noble Consort Ling, so he wanted to deal with him.
Just nice that day, they had delivered themselves to his door.
Emperor Ling Hui threw the memorial away. “Let him in.”
Chu Mingxuan bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Father.” He carefully thought about his words in his heart.
Emperor Ling Hui raised his eyelids. “What are you doing here?”
Chu Mingxuan said, “Father, there’s news from the border. The southern frontier has established its own Carefree Kingdom and is controlled by a woman.”
Emperor Ling Hui had blocked the news, but he was spreading the news everywhere.
“So, what are you trying to say?”
Chu Mingxuan took out a portrait. “This woman is the Great Empress of the Carefree Kingdom.”
Emperor Ling Hui suddenly became interested in wasting time with him.
After all, if his daughter-in-law was not good-looking, she would definitely lower his grandson’s looks.
Emperor Ling Hui took it. He was quite satisfied, but it was a little worse than Chu Tianbao’s. He asked again, “What else do you want to say?”
Chu Mingxuan pretended not to know that Bai Wutong was Chu Tianbao’s wife and said cautiously, “I followed the clues and found a trace. She’s the sister of my secondary consort. Bai Shining disappeared when he moved south to take office. If we can send Bai Shining to the southern frontier, we will definitely be able to persuade her to surrender to the Ling Kingdom.”
If Bai Shining went to the Ling Kingdom, he would be able to let Bai Shining obtain the blueprint of the firearm. Then, he could let all of them die in an accident and replace them. He would no longer have to look at Chu Shixiong’s expression and could become the emperor himself.
He specially told Chu Shixiong because he wanted to show that he had no selfish motives and lower Chu Shixiong’s guard against him.
Chu Mingxuan’s head was only the size of a dung beetle. Emperor Ling Hui did not know his plans, but he could roughly guess.
However, if Bai Shining was really Bai Wutong’s biological father, it was not impossible to send him to the southern frontier to give it a try..
