Chapter 291 AccidentAt the same time, on the other side, several stealthy figures were sneaking around silently, and they didn't stop until they reached the back of a rockery not far from the emperor's bedroom.

Li Tianer pushed aside the branches in front of her eyes, looked at Xiao Jiu who was standing at the door of the palace and said, "Look, Xiao Jiu is waiting outside alone. The Ninth Princess must have gone in."

Su Wanqing snorted coldly and said, "Has the plan already begun? Judging from the situation around her, she really has called everyone together. With such a big show, isn't she afraid of being exposed?"

Lin Xuewei seemed calmer. She whispered, "Okay, everyone, be quiet so that no one can hear us. We will monitor her from here and see if she can succeed."

The other two nodded.

Then the three of them looked at the window frame of the bedroom through which the faint candlelight shone, as if they could see through the thin window paper and understand everything that was happening inside.

Inside the bedroom, the candlelight flickered, stretching the ninth princess's shadow into a long and slender shape.

The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine and a faint scent of decay.

The Ninth Princess looked at the man lying on the dragon bed, his face as pale as gold paper and his last breath, and felt a little sorry for him. Her father, who was once so wise and powerful, had fallen into such a state of desolation.

"Father..." she called softly.

Chu Lu slowly opened his eyes, and seemed to have spent a lot of effort to recognize the person in front of him. He stammered a few times and uttered a weak voice: "It's you... cough cough... It's so late, why are you here?"

"Daughter...daughter heard that father was seriously ill, so she came to visit him." The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes and did not look at him.

"Heh..." Chu Lu smiled weakly, but his eyes were sharper. "I seem to have heard Xiao Jiu's voice. Is she here too?"

The Ninth Princess was shocked. She didn't expect that her father was so ill, but his hearing was still good. She nodded and replied, "Yes, the Prince Consort is here too."

"Is she outside the door now?" Chu Lu asked.

Although the Ninth Princess felt a little confused and didn't understand why her father cared so much about Xiao Jiu's whereabouts, she nodded again.

A barely perceptible gleam flashed across Chu Lu's eyes, so fast that it was difficult to capture.

After a moment of silence, the Ninth Princess took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly said, "Father, your body is ill now, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. I ask you to... choose a crown prince as soon as possible to reassure the people of the world."

When Chu Lu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He stared at the Ninth Princess for a long time, as if he suddenly didn't recognize her.

"You want my throne?" Chu Lu's face was filled with grief and disappointment as he spoke. "No wonder you suddenly came here tonight... It turns out you were in a hurry to kill me. I have treated you well... Don't you feel guilty for doing this?"

The Ninth Princess's face froze after being scolded by Chu Lu, and she quickly explained guiltily: "Father, calm down! I didn't mean that! It's just... it's just that the court is turbulent now, and deciding on an heir as soon as possible can also avoid chaos in the world and let the people suffer less!"

"Are you at ease now that it's settled?" Chu Lu directly exposed her lies, "Aren't you afraid that I might change my mind at the last minute? Afraid that I'll pass the throne to someone else? Can you be at ease if I don't die?"

The Ninth Princess was left speechless by Chu Lu's words, her cheeks flushed red. It was obvious that Chu Lu had seen through her completely, but she shamelessly felt aggrieved, as if she had been wronged.

Then, because of this grievance, she confidently put on an attitude of "If you are unkind, then I will be unjust" and said coldly: "Father, no matter what, my daughter's determination will not change. Why do you have to make such an ugly scene?"

Chu Lu heard this, as if he knew that he would not be able to escape today. Tears flowed down his face and his voice choked: "Okay, okay! Since you have made up your mind, I will give you the throne! But before I die, I want to have a last chat with you, my only daughter, okay? Just think of it as my last words."

The Ninth Princess was overjoyed to see Chu Lu give in. She ignored the tears on Chu Lu's face and asked, "Okay, what do you want to say?"

"Nothing... ahem..." Chu Lu looked like he was reminiscing about the past, "I just wanted to reminisce about the past one last time."

The Ninth Princess was puzzled when she heard this. Although their father-daughter relationship was not bad, they were members of the royal family after all, and there were not many warm pasts and shared memories worth recalling. What was he going to talk about?However, she changed her mind and realized that her father was already dying, so it would be okay to agree to this small request without hurting her conscience.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to whatever the emperor wants to say."

A relieved smile appeared on Chu Lu's face, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced outside the bedroom imperceptibly.

At this moment, Li Tianer, who had been closely watching the surroundings behind the rockery, suddenly paused. She rubbed her eyes and said to her companions in a low voice with some uncertainty, "Did you see a figure flash over there?"

Lin Xuewei looked carefully but found nothing. She shook her head and said, "No, did you see it wrong?"

Su Wanqing also said: "It's probably an illusion. Xiao Jiu must have cleared the area in advance, how could anyone else get close?"

Seeing both of them say this, Li Tianer lost confidence. He looked again carefully, but didn't find any traces, so he said, "Maybe I really saw it wrong."

However, while they were talking, there was indeed a black shadow moving quickly in the shadows in the distance. That black shadow was one of the two imperial guards who had been scolded and driven away by Xiao Jiu. He had gone and returned, and at this moment, he was using the cover of night to carefully move from the shadow cast by a palace lantern to the back of another rockery.

He walked very lightly, with his toes touching the ground first, making almost no sound. He also lowered his body very low, like a wild cat hunting in the dark night, as he moved closer to the bedroom step by step.

At the door of the palace, Xiao Jiu stood with her hands behind her back, her heart filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement. At this moment, she couldn't help but fantasize that once the emperor died and the leader was captured, she would have made the greatest contribution in the history of the organization.

By then, Minister Feiwu will definitely look at her differently, and her status in the organization will rise. People like Si Ren will never dare to act arrogantly in front of her again!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Xiao Jiu's mouth couldn't help but grin.

Inside the bedroom, Chu Lu began his reminiscing about the past.

"I still remember that when you were a child, you loved to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made in the imperial kitchen the most. You could eat a whole plate of it every time..."

The Ninth Princess frowned slightly and thought: I clearly hated osmanthus cake the most when I was a child.

"Also, when you first learned to ride a horse, you were very timid. It was only after I personally helped you onto the horse and taught you for a long time that you dared to let go of the reins..."

The Ninth Princess thought to herself: When did you teach me how to ride a horse?

Chu Lu seemed to be lost in beautiful memories, chattering on and on about some past events that the Ninth Princess had never heard of, which were even completely contrary to the facts. His tone was sometimes emotional, sometimes gratified, and his acting skills were superb.

The Ninth Princess was a little confused, but she thought that Chu Lu might be too sick to be mentally stable, so she didn't think much about it.

While Chu Lu was reminiscing about the past, the royal guards outside the palace were still approaching rapidly.

"At that time, the palace tutor always praised you for your intelligence, saying that you were the most talented among all the princes and princesses." Chu Lu's voice was filled with a hint of pride.

The imperial guard had quietly crossed an open space, his body closely following the shadows of a row of palace lanterns, and continued to move towards the entrance of the bedroom.

"I still remember that one year during the Lantern Festival, you insisted on sneaking out of the palace to watch the lantern festival, but you got lost. I had to send people to find you. You cried so pitifully at that time." Chu Lu recalled, with even a hint of a smile on his face.

The guard took cover of a stone sculpture of a Qilin and observed Xiao Jiu's movements from the side. Seeing that he did not notice, he quickly flashed out from behind the sculpture and sneaked towards a flower bed.

"By the way, that beautiful hairpin-shaped regular script of yours was written by me personally. At that time, you thought I was too strict and secretly wiped away your tears several times." Chu Lu said in a gentle tone.

The guard crouched low, almost crawling forward, moving slowly along the edge of the waist-high flower bed like a silent snake, and finally successfully reached the corner of the bedroom, only a few feet away from Xiao Jiu.

The Ninth Princess in the bedroom had been listening to Chu Lu's nonsense and was gradually becoming impatient.

The guard stared at Xiao Jiu's figure. He carefully took out a cigarette cartridge from his arms and gently rubbed the fuse of the cigarette cartridge with his thumb. Everything was silent, except for the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves, as if it was his suppressed breathing. He bent his body, his muscles tense, like a bow with a full string, ready to throw the cigarette cartridge in his hand at any time.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu, who was originally immersed in the beautiful fantasy of the future, suddenly frowned and broke free from the fantasy. She looked up at the bedroom in front of her, and doubts arose in her heart.

——Something is wrong. The Ninth Princess had been in there for a while. Logically speaking, the Emperor was seriously ill and the Ninth Princess was determined, so it shouldn't take much time to kill him. Why was there no movement for so long?

Xiao Jiu didn't believe that the Ninth Princess would regret it at the last minute. Chu Lu was too sick to do anything wrong, so the only possibility was...

——Group owner?! Could it be that the group owner is behind this?!Xiao Jiu's heart trembled, and the ecstasy of success was instantly replaced by vigilance. She subconsciously glanced around. At first, the surroundings were quiet, except for the whimpering sound of the night wind blowing over the eaves of the palace.

However, just as she was about to look away, she saw out of the corner of her eye that there seemed to be some movement in the shadow at the corner of the bedroom.

She was startled for a moment, then looked carefully without making any noise. After a closer look, she finally saw it clearly! In the shadow, there was a vague silhouette of a person!

At this moment, Xiao Jiu's scalp felt numb and there was a loud bang in his head, as if it had exploded.

——Someone! There is someone there!

Although they were at a distance and the light was dim, and he couldn't see the man's specific appearance and clothes at all, Xiao Jiu's intuition was screaming wildly: This person, there is no way he is one of us! ——Who is that person?! What does he want to do?!

Xiao Jiu pretended to be calm and pretended not to notice. Then he secretly opened the chat group and sent an instruction to Concubine Li who was closest to that location: "Concubine Li, there is someone hiding in the corner on the right side of the bedroom. Go and deal with it."

"Got it." Concubine Li didn't ask any more questions and took action immediately.

Li Tianer and others behind the rockery were staring intently at the direction of the bedroom. They were all stunned when they saw the conversation in the chat group.

"Look! There's some movement!" Li Tianer exclaimed.

Lin Xuewei and Su Wanqing also came over to see, and saw that Concubine Li had quietly escaped from the ambush circle and was sneaking in a certain direction.

"What is Xiao Jiu doing?" Su Wanqing was puzzled.

Concubine Li was very agile and quickly got behind the imperial guard. The guard was concentrating on Xiao Jiu and was unaware of the danger behind him. Concubine Li's face was cold, and a silver needle appeared in her hand. She pierced the guard's neck like lightning.

The guard groaned, his body went limp, and he fell down silently.

Concubine Li stepped forward to sniff the other person's breath, and confirmed that the other person was dead, then she replied in the group: "Xiao Jiu, it has been resolved."

Xiao Jiu felt relieved immediately, and then she asked, "Who is hiding there?"

Concubine Li looked at the other person's face and said in surprise, "It's the imperial guard who escaped before. Strange, why is he back?"

Xiao Jiu was also confused when she heard this. She thought for a moment and ordered, "Search him! See what he has on him!"

Concubine Li took action immediately. She squatted down and fumbled around the guard for a while. Soon she found the cigarette cartridge in his hand. She looked at it for a few times and then replied in the group: "I found a ceramic ball on him. It looks like a cigarette cartridge or something. He kept holding it in his hand, as if he was going to throw it to you."

—Cigarette? Are you planning to throw it at me!?Xiao Jiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and her face suddenly turned pale! She instantly had a guess in her mind.

——That cigarette bomb, needless to say, is definitely a poisonous one! The emperor wants to kill me!

——Once I die, the story line will be interrupted, and the poison in the emperor's body will naturally be solved! He was unwilling to just wait for death, so he prepared this insidious trap. That's why the imperial guard dared to go back! That's why there was no movement inside! The emperor was clearly stalling for time, waiting for this person to take action! He actually wanted to bite back at the last minute and poison me to death! What a cruel method!

Xiao Jiu's face was gloomy, and he thought: But this method is definitely not something the emperor can think of. Group leader! It must be the group leader who gave him instructions in his dream!

Xiao Jiu only felt a surge of rage rising in his heart. If he hadn't suddenly realized something was wrong, he would have been caught by the group leader and fallen at the last step of the plan!

Although Xiao Jiu considers herself to be an expert in medicine and immune to all poisons (actually it’s the heroine’s halo), this time she is facing a group leader with many achievements, so she naturally doesn’t want to take the risk.

The more Xiao Jiu thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he sneered, "What a trick! Unfortunately, it still can't escape my eyes! Your Majesty, just accept your death! No one can save you!"

Behind the rockery, Li Tianer and the other two also saw all this through the chat group, and they immediately had the same guess as Xiao Jiu.

"Tsk tsk, the group leader is quite smart. He even knew how to set a trap." Li Tianer's tone was filled with a hint of regret and disappointment. "It's a pity that it was done too crudely. It was easily broken by Xiao Jiu."

"After all, she is a character from the male world, so her intelligence is just that." Su Wanqing curled her lips in disdain. Lin Xuewei also nodded in agreement, and her evaluation of the group leader dropped a few points. They had originally expected the group leader to make a strong counterattack, but the result was so anticlimactic that they were greatly disappointed and even didn't bother to pay attention to the situation in the palace.

At this time, inside the bedroom, the two people were completely unaware of the changes outside.

Chu Lu's nonsense continued to flow, with no sign of stopping. The Ninth Princess's patience was finally exhausted.

"Father!" The Ninth Princess finally couldn't help interrupting, "What exactly do you want to say? How long do you want to say it?!"

There was a subtle uneasiness in Chu Lu's eyes. He subconsciously glanced outside the door again. His anxious eyes seemed like he was eagerly waiting for something, but it took a long time for him to get it. He seemed a little nervous and confused.

Seeing this, the Ninth Princess suddenly became thoughtful and asked, "Father, are you waiting for something?"

Chu Lu's heart tightened, but his face immediately showed an even weaker and more pitiful expression. He forced a smile, his voice weak and weak: "What are you waiting for... I just want to talk to you more. Xiaojiu, when I was reminiscing about the past just now, I was talking nonsense, you probably thought I was crazy.

But in fact, I can't think of any memories with you. Only then did I realize that I owe you a lot in my life... cough... especially your mother. In fact, she is my favorite in the harem. It's a pity that she passed away early, and I, I..."

His words were full of regret, and his eyes turned red at the right time.

The Ninth Princess looked at Chu Lu's appearance and listened to his seemingly heartfelt confession. The doubts in her heart gradually dissipated. After all, he was her biological father. When a man is about to die, his words are kind. Maybe he really just wanted to talk to her more before he died and make up for some past regrets. Thinking of this, her heart softened a lot, and she was about to comfort him.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu's ridicule suddenly came from outside the door.

"Haha! What a deep love between father and daughter. Even I have to believe it."

When the Ninth Princess heard this, her body shook violently. She suddenly turned her head to look towards the door, with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't understand why Xiao Jiu suddenly spoke and said such inexplicable words.

Then she turned around again and found that a trace of surprise and nervousness suddenly flashed across Chu Lu's originally sad face, and her heart sank suddenly.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you talking about? What is father acting?" The Ninth Princess asked immediately.

"Princess, although His Majesty looks like he's about to die, he's still very smart. He knew we were coming a long time ago and even set a trap! Do you think he was just reminiscing about the past with you?" Xiao Jiu's voice suddenly became fierce, "Wrong! He's stalling for time!"

When Princess Nine heard this, her expression suddenly changed! She looked at Chu Lu fiercely and asked sternly, "Father! Is what Xiao Jiu said true?! You... you really set a trap?!"

Chu Lu pretended to be calm and denied, "I don't know what nonsense Xiao Jiu is talking about!"

"Your Majesty, just give up!" Xiao Jiu's voice came again, extremely proud, "The imperial guard you arranged has been eliminated by me! Your wishful thinking has failed!"

"What?!" Chu Lu was suddenly struck by lightning and screamed subconsciously.

When the Ninth Princess saw Chu Lu's expression, how could she not understand? She felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her voice trembled a little: "Father...you actually set a trap to harm us?!"

Chu Lu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said in a panic: "Xiao Jiu, please listen to my explanation..."

Princess Nine looked at Chu Lu, with cold murderous intent in her eyes. She ignored Chu Lu, took out the dagger Xiao Jiu gave her, and approached the dragon bed step by step.

"Xiao Jiu has evil intentions. She is using you!" Chu Lu spoke hastily, trying to make a final struggle. "Do you think she really loves you? She only loves this supreme power! If you kill me, you will be the next to die!"

The Ninth Princess did not pause for a moment. The cold light of the dagger flickered in her hand, reflecting her resolute face.

Seeing this, Chu Lu became more anxious, and his voice became higher: "Think about it! If I die, you will be a thorn in her side! Will she let you live and become an obstacle to her legitimate ascension to the throne? She is now trying to please you in every way and saying sweet words to you, just to get you to clear this last obstacle for her! Wake up! Don't be fooled by her! She will destroy you!"

However, the Ninth Princess remained unmoved, and she moved closer and closer to the dragon bed. The expression on her face did not change at all, as if she did not hear Chu Lu's words at all.

Chu Lu's forehead was covered with sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Jiu, have you ever thought about why such a tragedy happened in the Spring Hunt? Why did you happen to be the only one who survived? Why did I suddenly become seriously ill? Do you think all this is accidental? Think about it carefully! Think about it carefully, Xiao Jiu!"

His voice was already filled with tears and he seemed extremely sad.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was extremely tense. Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment, turning into an exquisite picture. The Ninth Princess had already walked to the front of the couch, and the dagger she raised high was aimed at Chu Lu's heart. With just a little force, she could stab it down.

At this time, Xiao Jiu outside the door spoke again in a stern voice: "Princess! What are you waiting for! Hurry up!"

That urging voice instantly broke the frozen atmosphere in the bedroom.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The Ninth Princess' eyes were filled with madness. She screamed hysterically, raised the dagger in her hand high, and stabbed Chu Lu who was lying on the couch!At the door of the bedroom, Xiao Jiu showed a smug smile on his face.

Behind the rockery, Li Tianer and the others sighed.

In the shadows, dozens of heroines had eyes flashing like wolves.

At this critical moment!Chu Lu, who was originally terminally ill and dying, suddenly had a desperate look in his eyes. He stretched out his hand suddenly, as fast as lightning, and grabbed the wrist of the Nineth Prince who was holding the knife!"You, how could you..." The Ninth Princess felt as if her wrist was clamped by an iron clamp and she could not move. She looked into Chu Lu's cold eyes, an expression of unbelievable fear on her face, and screamed in shock.

Outside the bedroom, Xiao Jiu heard the Ninth Princess' terrified scream. He was stunned at first, but then he felt no doubt, fear, or panic, but ecstasy!"Group leader! You finally took action!" she shouted excitedly.
