I slowly sat down on the phoenix throne and restrained the smile on my face: "Don't let any of you try to escape tonight!"

Xiao Chongyan walked in when he heard the sound, I groped for the bracket under the phoenix seat with one hand, and laughed softly: "It's the right time to come......" The hand slightly plucked the bracket, and the sound of clicking and turning made me inexplicably excited.

Seeing that the Hanyuan Hall was already full of messes, my eyes were stabbed by blood. There was a buzzing in the ears, and from time to time there was a commotion of the crowd outside the hall. The Xuanji Pagoda sounded the silent bell for the first time tonight, and the mournful roar lasted for a long time in this dark and long night. A sudden pathos arose in my heart, the pain from the depths of my body had already swallowed me up, I didn't know what to do in the next second, I didn't know what I was waiting for.

Biting your lower lip hard and telling yourself that you should be awake. Now Jing Hong has also been poisoned by the Xiao family, and there are 30,000 elite soldiers guarding Yulin inside and outside the palace, and no one can escape. I stared vacantly at the dark midnight outside the door, and it turned out that in the end, I was the only one who faced all this.

"I, Zhaoyuan, have not done a few right things in my life, and today I can only use my life to maintain the last pride of the Heavenly Family. ”

I said these words calmly, and I had already accepted this ending in my heart. I didn't have time to care about the reaction of His Highness's people, I only closed my eyes slightly, and moved the machine to the end a little bit, and I couldn't hear any exclamation and panic at the moment when my eyes returned to darkness, and a faint black outline faintly appeared.

"Jiulang, I can't wait for you, I hope to see you again in the next life......"

A tear slowly slid down my cheek until it broke away from my jaw and smashed on the ground, as soon as I exerted my strength, there was a loud noise in the temple, and with a "boom", a raging fire suddenly burst out from the ground, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the entire hall turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

There was chaos in the Hanyuan Hall for a moment, and the terrible screams were endless. I watched it all silently, letting the flames erode me. Suddenly, a figure in the midst of the fire rushed towards me, grabbed me by the neck, and by the time I could react, I was dragged to the ground and entangled with her.

"What do you want to do?" I exclaimed, glaring at Empress Dowager Xiao, her face was close at hand, but she could no longer find Fang Cai's calm and indifference.

"What are you doing?" Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes showed a fierce light, and she said hatefully, "Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know, the phoenix seat also has another mechanism, which is used to protect the people sitting in the position from harm." How could the first emperor's thoughts and mourning family not understand, the mourning family has been with him for decades, and he has never been treated like this, and you don't want to escape today, even if the mourning family dies, he must pull his most distressed person to accompany the funeral!"

There was no trace of warmth in her voice, and even when she talked about her father, there was a hint of hatred. Most of the women in the deep palace are like this, hate is always more than love, she gave her life to the palace wall as deep as the sea, destined to become such a ruthless and ruthless, until one day, this hatred turned into a raging fire, only to make her realize that it has long been doomed, everything has long been unrecognizable.

"Do you know that in the year when the mourning family married him, Chang'an City was in an uproar, and after the canonization ceremony, the palace was lit with flowers for three days and three nights. The mourning family thought that he was sincere to me, but I didn't expect everything to be just a flash in the pan. Whether it is the mourning family or the queen, it is not as good as that woman, he calls her name in his dreams every night, and there is even a portrait of her in the Xuanji Tower. Seeing what you look like when you grow up, the mourning family is like seeing your own nightmare! The emperor's affection for you has long surpassed the relationship between father and daughter! Since he misses that woman so much, then the mourning family will fulfill him and give him another look-like companion with him, but men don't know how to be satisfied, let alone a cold-blooded and heartless emperor! The mourning family has long been cut off from your Gao family, and the emperor wants to see her so much, so it can only be a dream! Hehe, finally, he died in his own dream...... Hahahahaha......ha But I ...... But where am I?"

Empress Dowager Xiao clasped my arms around me, the firelight reflected her extremely distorted face, she looked at me, as if she was laughing, as if crying, her every word echoed in my ears, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, making people feel that she was almost crazy.

I've never seen her like this, and I remember her always being arrogant. Unlike Concubine Shu, the aggressive aura she exudes from her body makes people afraid to approach. At this time, I struggled desperately, trying to get rid of her clamps, but I couldn't move at all, the fire burned more and more around us, and in the heart-rending whimpering and screaming, I stared at the cheeks of the Empress Dowager Xiao, even in her most crazy moments, she was still beautiful.

"You live in this palace, and now that you have embarked on this path, don't ask yourself where you are. Now you can only blame you for falling in love with someone you shouldn't love the most. ”

"The person who shouldn't be loved?" Empress Dowager Xiao put my words to her mouth and chewed for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Then you tell me, should you love that Yuwen Qiye?"

I froze, looked at her, paused, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The smile on Empress Dowager Xiao's face became more and more obvious, and her face looked extremely weird, and she slowly spit out her lips: "Do you know why my uncle was reluctant to make a move, and it wasn't until you used that slut as an internal response to expose the witch rebellion in the palace that your uncle ordered the little emperor to be imprisoned and strictly guarded in the palace......? Maybe you should think about it carefully, why Yulin sealed the Imperial City Palace, but Jin Wu disappeared for a long time?"

"Boom-" There was a thunderstorm outside the window, and I couldn't see the expression of the Empress Dowager Xiao clearly in the flames, and another thunderbolt flashed, and I felt like I was caught in it, and I couldn't move for a long time.

"Do you think that slut really dared to risk his life against the Xiao family because of the deal with you? The Xiao family wants to kill anyone in this palace so easily, why do you need to use witchcraft to pretend to be a ghost, and why do you need to plan to feed the emperor a mandala?"

"What are you talking about!" it turned out to be a mandala...... My whole body was surrounded by flames, but my whole body was extremely cold. I grabbed her arm and threatened, "Tell me, what the hell is going ...... all this"

Before I could say anything, a golden light split through the raging sea of fire and passed straight in front of my eyes. I breathed sluggishly, and when I came back to my senses again, the golden arrow had pierced into the heart of the Empress Dowager Xiao with great accuracy.

Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly let go of the hands that restrained me, looked at me for a long time, and said: "This face will ruin your ...... one day" The voice stopped abruptly, and she never closed her eyes until the moment she died.

I covered her eyes with my hands and carefully examined the long arrow in her chest. The fire was fierce, gradually narrowing the area that surrounded me. I knew I couldn't escape, and I forgot how to struggle.

A cold dagger pressed against the pulse on my neck, and the biting cold made it leap sharply. "Follow me!" Xiao Chongyan's deep voice came from behind, "If you don't want to die, get up for me!"

I turned my head to look at him silently, and for a while, a smile curled up at the corner of my mouth: "He's coming?"

Xiao Chongyan glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiao, who fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and the force in his hand increased a little: "Don't talk nonsense, it's still useful for the old man to spare your life!"

Pushing and getting up, he somehow took a wide tung oil leather cloak, wrapped me tightly, and leaned over to lead me out of the sea of fire. In the thick smoke, I couldn't tell the direction, until I stood still, I realized that the original road was only a few steps, Xiao Chongyan struggled to move away from the phoenix seat, and the ground was concave, revealing a three-foot square secret passage.

The residence of the emperor and queen is really full of secret passages, this road that leads directly to Yongxiang and connects to Qingxiao Gate, as soon as you walk out of the secret passage, there is a carriage waiting for a long time.

"My lord, get into the carriage!"

The carriage ran wildly in the silent night, and the fire lit up half of the sky. There was a burst of thunder, and a bolt of lightning struck the sky, and the heavens and the earth were like day in an instant. I looked at the embers of the fire drifting in the distance, overlapping with the memories that remained in my mind, and wondered whose lonely soul this wisp of dust was, and where it would drift away? Who would remember it years later, because of it all, and why it came to an end?

"Report to your lordship, Yulin Guard has been lost, Yuwen Qiye has broken through the Qingxiao Gate, and now he has attacked the palace, should we flee first, and then think about it in the long run?"

"Escape?" Xiao Chongyan asked rhetorically, raised his hand and slapped him, "The old man has endured it for so many years, and today he will definitely meet this Yuwen Qi night." Besides, the old man still has a trump card in his hand, and it is unknown who will win or lose. ”

Xiao Chongyan's eagle eyes stared at me tightly, like a fierce beast lurking in the jungle, and the next moment he would devour me alive: "Princess, you really have a relationship with the old man." Since you can't die for the dignity of the royal family, then the old man will let you witness with your own eyes who will trample on the dignity of the royal family!"

The bumpy carriage almost shook my skeleton apart, but I pulled myself together and sat down calmly in the carriage, no longer resisting. In the dark, Xiao Chongyan looked at me meaninglessly and let out a sneer.

Suddenly it rained heavily in the sky, thunder rumbled, and bean-sized raindrops fell on the carriage. Another bolt of lightning struck straight at the carriage, and the horse raised its front hooves in fright, and the whole carriage began to shake violently, and I almost fell out of the carriage.

"Xiao Chongyan, obediently tie your hands and arrest it!" At the last moment, a loud shout came from not far away, which was very clear in the heavy rain. Xiao Chongyan slammed out of the window, pushed the coachman down, pulled the reins, and drove the whole carriage in the opposite direction.

"Chase!"

In the violent bumps, I saw through the curtain of the car countless elite soldiers in ironclad suits chasing after me, the first person straddling a purple horse, gold armor and silver armor, the wind fluttered, like a god descending.

"Qi Ye—" I called out his name in my heart, and found that every reunion with him was separated by a distance of life and death.
