Chapter 679: Violent Proton + Crazy Princess 45

In Yun Kingdom, on the second day after Yun Youran left, the emperor summoned Xuanyuan Ming.

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, gazing down with majestic eyes.

A guard walked into the hall and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xuanyuan Ming has arrived."

Not long after, Xuanyuan Ming dragged his crippled leg and limped slowly into the hall.

Despite his limited mobility, he still maintained his demeanor and saluted the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty."

However, the emperor did not let him stand up immediately. Instead, he looked him up and down with an expressionless face.

Time seemed to stand still, and the entire hall fell into deathly silence.

After a long while, the emperor finally said in a pretentious manner: "No need to be polite."

Xuanyuan Ming stood up upon hearing the voice, but he kept his eyes down. He asked in a calm tone, "I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here?"

The emperor did not respond to his question, but instead coldly ordered: "Raise your head."

Although Xuanyuan Ming had been a hostage in Yun Country for five years, this was the first time he had summoned him, and he had never paid attention to what he looked like before.

Although Xuanyuan Ming was extremely reluctant, he did not struggle in vain. He raised his head obediently and looked into the emperor's sharp eyes.

The emperor stared at Xuanyuan Ming's handsome face and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "You are indeed born with a seductive look. No wonder Princess Anle was seduced by you and disobeyed and threatened me time and again for you.

It is true that beauty is the root of trouble. "

Facing the emperor's rebuke, Xuanyuan Ming responded calmly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a disabled person. I am honored to be recognized by the princess. I am very lucky to be recognized by her."

The emperor was obviously not interested in these polite words, and he didn't want to waste any more time on irrelevant remarks.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Xuanyuan Ming, and asked directly: "Do you want to go back to Yuan Kingdom?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Xuanyuan Ming was silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"I have something to ask. If you can do it for me, I will send someone to escort you back to Yuan Country."

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, staring at Xuanyuan Ming below with a sharp gaze, and spoke in a serious and solemn tone.

Hearing the emperor's words, Xuanyuan Ming's heart sank. As expected, the weasel paid a New Year's visit to the chicken - it had no good intentions!

Despite this, he still bowed respectfully and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the important matter? Please let me know."

Seeing that he was obedient, the emperor was secretly delighted.

He knew that Xuanyuan Ming would agree.

The emperor waved his hand and asked everyone in the hall to leave.

After everyone left, the emperor asked Xuanyuan Ming to sit down and began to ask in a friendly manner: "Are you happy with Princess Anle?"

Although Xuanyuan Ming didn't know what the emperor was up to, he knew from Yun Youran that the emperor and her didn't get along.

After a pause, he slowly replied: "I like gentle and virtuous women, not those who are too strong and have no rules."

Although he did not say it explicitly, the emperor already knew his attitude.

He laughed and said, "Since you like gentle and virtuous women, why did you follow Anle back to Huayang Palace?"

Xuanyuan Ming said calmly: "I have no power and influence, and I cannot resist."

He answered in a serious tone, with no expression on his face.

"If I asked you to kill the princess, would you be willing?"

The emperor finally stated his purpose.

Xuanyuan Ming didn't find anything strange about this.

The royal family is heartless and will eliminate anyone who stands in their way.

He said to the emperor: "I am now a disabled person, and it is difficult for me to even walk normally. How can I kill the princess?

Your Majesty, I'm sure you know more about the Princess's military strength than I do."

He glanced at his legs and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think I can kill the princess in my current situation?"

The emperor glanced casually along the direction of his gaze, then said slowly, "I never told you to kill her with a sword."

The emperor picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, but his eyes were always on Xuanyuan Ming, as if observing his reaction.

Xuanyuan Ming had a blank expression on his face and remained silent. He just sat there quietly, as motionless as a sculpture.

However, from his slightly clenched fists, it could be seen that he was not as calm as he appeared to be.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ming did not respond, the emperor continued to speak slowly: "Princess Anle has disobeyed me time and time again for you.

This shows that she is infatuated with you! She must have been very pleased with you."

The emperor put down the teacup in his hand, crossed his hands on his chest, leaned back on the dragon throne, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ming finally couldn't help but raise his head and look straight at the emperor. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to normal.

He still said nothing, just silently waiting for what the emperor would say next.

The emperor raised his lips slightly when he saw this, and then said: "Since you are willing to help me take her life, why not cooperate with this good show that I have carefully planned.

As long as you act according to the plan, you will not only be able to escape unscathed after the mission is accomplished, but I will also keep my promise and send someone to escort you back to Yuan Country safely. How do you think?"

Xuanyuan Ming frowned, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "I wonder what exactly is the plan that Your Majesty is talking about?"

The emperor smiled slightly, "Before this, Anle had personally told me that she fell in love with you at first sight, and she wanted to marry you and make you her consort.

So, I took advantage of the situation and wrote a letter and sent it to Yuan State at full speed.

In my opinion, your father should be happy with this marriage and will not refuse it."

Having said this, the emperor paused and looked at Xuanyuan Ming meaningfully.

Then, he took out a small and exquisite bottle from his arms. The bottle was crystal clear and exuded a mysterious aura.

The emperor slowly handed the bottle to Xuanyuan Ming and said in a low voice, "This bottle contains a colorless and odorless poison.

After Princess Anle returns to the palace, I will immediately arrange a wedding ceremony for the two of you.

At that time, you just need to secretly put the poison into the wedding wine when no one is paying attention.

In this way, you can achieve your wish and help me get rid of the biggest worry in my heart. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Xuanyuan Ming did not reach out to take the bottle of poison. Instead, he cast his gaze towards the emperor sitting on the high throne and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, if you poison the princess to death on her wedding night, I'm afraid this would be inappropriate!"

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly and indifferently: "Imagine that, during the wedding, when the princess was enjoying a beautiful time, she suddenly died of poison.

Even if I have the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, I am afraid I will not be able to escape from this!"

The emperor stared at Xuanyuan Ming with his deep eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"You can proceed with your actions without any worries. Once the matter is accomplished, I will find a suitable scapegoat for you."

However, Xuanyuan Ming shook his head and refused without hesitation, saying firmly:

"Absolutely not. This matter is too risky. If we are not careful, not only will the whole plan fail, but I will also be in danger."

Seeing that the mission was about to be accomplished, Xuanyuan Ming changed his mind and refused to carry out the order. The emperor was instantly irritated. He stood up suddenly, his voice unconsciously raised a lot, and shouted angrily:
