Chapter 409: The Handle of the Sword

The emperor's order did not make He Wenyue's dead face appear in the slightest panic, and he still looked like he was waiting for death, weak, sitting there paralyzed, his eyes were empty, and he had no expression.

It was as if the corpse of the soul had been drained, and there was only a breath of life-sustaining breath.

But Xiao Duo was crazy, desperately breaking free from the forbidden army at hand, and wanted to pounce on the emperor, "Father, the son is not guilty, the son is wronged, the only crime of the son is just because of greed, he mistakenly believed in Lu Jiuzheng, and greedy him for a little silver, but if this is the case, the son will be sent to the prison, then the people who are full of the imperial study are afraid that they will go to the prison, who has not been greedy!"

With Xiao Duo's mind, if he can be calm, he will definitely be able to hear the emperor's selfishness when the verdict is pronounced on this matter.

It's a pity that from the moment He Wenyue appeared, to He Wenyue's Muran telling everything, the only trace of reason left in his heart has long been gone, and his mind is full of how to justify, how to make the emperor believe him, and how to prove that he was framed by others.

As long as he has a shred of sanity, he will also know that in the current situation, he is the best choice.

However......

Just when Xiao Duo was struggling like crazy, Xiao Yu, who had been silent and was sitting alone watching the play, suddenly got up and walked in front of Xiao Duo in two steps.

He raised his hand and pinched his wrist, "What else do you want to do, send the prisoners appointed by your father to Dafang Temple, and fill the pure place of Buddhism." embezzled Lu Jiuzheng's embezzlement of money, and the matter was exposed, instigating Lu Jiuzheng to kidnap the daughter of the Marquis of China. is even more ill-intentioned and plans to exterminate Chi Nanhou and Gu Yuqing together. If the plan fails, on Longyang Mountain, he instigated the children of Tianque to intercept and kill me, your own brother, such an act, why do you think of your father!"

I don't know how much force Xiao Yu used to pinch Xiao Duo's wrist, but in an instant, Xiao Duo's originally white and bloodless face turned flushed because of the extreme pain.

Xiao Duo once put Xiao Yu in his eyes, and after a trance of stunned, he immediately pushed Xiao Yu with his backhand.

How Xiao Yu's kung fu is, Gu Yuqing knows it clearly.

But just when Xiao Duo shook it hard, and the two were entangled, Xiao Yu was on the side of his body, and he was thrown aside, Gu Yuqing's heart trembled violently, and he looked at Xiao Yu, but before his eyes touched Xiao Yu, he saw that the knife that had been put away by Xiao Duo flew out again.

But this time, it didn't fall straight down, but with a certain angle, it went straight to Xiao Yu.

Suddenly, Gu Yuqing's heart stopped beating, and she couldn't help but raise her hand, cover her mouth with a handkerchief, open a pair of big eyes full of horror, and exclaimed, "Xiao Yu be careful!"

Gu Yuqing's words fell, Xiao Yu's body was slightly on one side, and the snowy dagger grazed his face and flew straight to the huge wooden pillar behind him, with a "snap", the dagger was embedded in the wooden pillar for three points, and the remaining part on the outside continued to tremble with the embedding of the knife body.

Gu Yuqing broke out in a cold sweat.

Not only Gu Yuqing, but the emperor was even more shocked and stood up from the chair, propped up the table with his hands, leaned over and looked at Xiao Yu, "How are you!"

Xiao Yu looked like he was living for the rest of his life, exhaled, touched his cheek that had been grazed by the dagger, and pulled out his usual uninhibited smile like a palpitation, "The son is fine." ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the wooden pillar where the knife had been nailed.

At the same time, the emperor picked up the pen holder that put the lake pen in his hand, almost didn't even think about it, and threw it at Xiao Duo, the pen holder is made of Taihu stone, in order to highlight the shape, there are many edges and corners on it, and it is extremely sharp.

This sudden change, Xiao Duo had not yet recovered from the dagger that flew out, and suddenly felt a black in front of him, and a heavy blow on his forehead.

The bubbling blood flowed down his cheeks, Xiao Duo realized what he realized later, his heart trembled, and he didn't care about the blood stains on his face, he turned his head and said to the emperor: "Father, that flying knife was not thrown by the son, the son-in-law is crazy, I want to stab him with a flying knife in front of my father, in this imperial study!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Duo, looking at the bright red blood stains that continued to ooze from the corners of his forehead, but his eyelids did not blink, and there was no trace of distress in his heart, "What else do you have to do, you can't do it!"

At this point, all the words that Xiao Duo wanted to defend were blocked.

Xiao Duo only felt that there was a thunderous roar above his head, shaking his limbs and bones.

Today's events are full of strangeness, and everything is indeed arranged by him with his participation, and it is indeed arranged by him carefully, but these things are not all the way things should be.

Just like He Wenyue, it was he who arranged for him to stay in Dafang Temple, but what He Wenyue said!

He was like a marionette, being manipulated, but he didn't know who the manipulator was.

The panic in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and the eyes full of hatred and anger in the emperor's cold eyes, Xiao Duo is even more like an out-of-body spirit.

Xiao Yu reached the wooden pillar and raised his hand to pull out the dagger, but at the moment of pulling it out, he blurted out: "Hey, what is this?"

Originally, because of this change, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Duo, and as Xiao Yu's words sounded, everyone looked at him, Xiao Yi was even more afraid of missing any first-hand news, so he raised his foot and walked towards Xiao Yu, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu turned his hand and handed the dagger to Xiao Yi, "Look." ”

Xiao Yihu glanced at Xiao Yu suspiciously, his eyes fell on the wooden handle of the dagger, his eyes suddenly shrank, and his complexion changed greatly, "God!" exclaimed, turned his head and walked towards the emperor, "Father, this dagger has words engraved on it." ”

As Xiao Yi's words fell into his ears, Xiao Duo's eyes trembled.

Engraved lettering...... He had carried a dagger with him for several years, and he never knew that there were words on it......

In surprise, Xiao Duo raised his eyes and looked straight at the dagger that Xiao Yi had held up in front of the emperor.

A line of fly-headed Xiaokai fell into his eyes, and with just one glance, the emperor could be sure that this was not Xiao Duo's handwriting, and who would it be!

What is engraved on the handle of the knife is a line of years and months, such unforgettable days, throughout his life, the emperor will firmly remember, his heart jumps suddenly, only to feel that there is a blood and qi backflow, straight to the top of his head, Duan Wang's words in prison, once again like a rusty iron knife, pierced his heart.

Raising his eyes, there was already a bloodthirsty murderous aura surging under his eyes, "Why did you engrave the day when King Duan was defeated and captured by me on the handle of this knife?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Gu Yuqing's heart suddenly moved, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, carefully recalling the entanglement between Xiao Yu and Xiao Duo.

As for Xiao Duo, the suspicion on his face dissipated, and was replaced by an indescribable fear and a thick, unpredictable look, "How could it be!
