"Why haven't you adults come yet?" After Sijiu sneaked away, I had been pacing in the main hall, looking at Yu Linwei, who surrounded me and stood extremely straight, I smiled lightly and asked.

"The princess killed someone, and the princess is on the way from the Zichen Palace, so please calm the princess. A Yulin guard replied loudly without squinting.

I snorted coldly: "So I killed him to invite him Xiao Chongyan?" glanced back at Lan Shao's already cold corpse, and said, "It seems that her death is still worth something." ”

There was a sound of ticking water in the omission, and as the minutes and seconds passed, there were suddenly bursts of messy footsteps outside the hall, and the night was broken by the noise.

"Something happened again—the emperor is gone—" A loud gong sounded and the shrill shouts of the eunuchs echoed through the entire dead palace walls, and I heard the bells of the Xuanji Pagoda begin to ring mournfully, and one after another came to my ears so clearly that I could not distinguish between them.

A group of people walked in outside Hanyuan Hall, and the white palace lamp lit in the hands of the palace maid led by them illuminated the visitors. In the dim light, Xiao Chongyan and Empress Dowager Xiao paced leisurely among the crowd, their faces were calm and relaxed, but the same fierce cold light appeared in their eyes.

I stood still and looked at Xiao Chongyan, raised my chin slightly, and said coldly: "The adult is finally here, are you here to ask me about my sin?"

"Ask for guilt?" Xiao Chongyan asked rhetorically, "Why does the old man ask you for the blame? You are just a dying person, and the old man doesn't have to worry about you anymore." ”

"Adults don't care about me, I still want to worry about adults. I laughed, "I seem to have heard something shouting outside the palace just now, can you tell me what happened?"

Xiao Chongyan narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at me tightly, and said, "At night, the emperor accidentally ingested the pill of the first emperor, coughing up blood, and when the imperial doctor arrived, he was already powerless to return to the sky, and he died soon after. ”

Boom –

It was as if my world had collapsed at this moment, and my feet could barely support it. "Jing ...... Hong, Jing Hong...... Dead?" I asked out loud in disbelief, as if I was talking to myself, and I just kept shaking my head and denying it, "No way, Jing Hong was fine when I left...... How could it be...... No way!"

"Zichen Hall has set up a palace ban, and now the bad news that the emperor died by mistakenly eating the pill has been well known to everyone in the palace, why should the princess deceive herself anymore? Today, except for you, no one stays with the emperor, princess, what do you want to hide?" Xiao Chongyan's eagle eyes burst out with an aggressive cold light," The first emperor took the pill to drive, but in just a few hours, the emperor also died because of this, if it is really a witchcraft that harms people, why is the people next to him okay, only these two heavenly sons sitting on the seat of the ninety-five have been hit by the so-called witch curse one after another? Is it my Xiao clan's wolf ambition and deliberate rebellion, or is it your eldest princess Zhaoyuan who has bad intentions and has already calculated?"

"I have bad intentions? I have a plan? Lord Xiao really said something beautiful! It is really jaw-dropping to exonerate Xiao in this way! Hahahahaha...... That's my father, my brother, why should I murder them?" I laughed, and my laughter revealed a bit of poignant determination, "Lord Xiao, tell me, what is the imperial power and the imperial throne? For it, how many people's corpses and blood do you have to step on before you can reach the pinnacle throne? Fame, money, the country, and all the people bow down to the throne, who doesn't want to! But I watched my imperial brother calculate me for it, and watched my loved ones die for it...... The previous dynasty changed to the Bailu Palace, and how many unjust souls were suppressed under the dragon chair hanging high above the main hall of the Jinluan Xuan Room? You tell me, if these are only a pity for the achievement of the emperor's cause, then I, Zhaoyuan, can throw everything away, as soon as you say let go of Dabo! Why bother talking nonsense with you here again?"

"Papa-" Crisp applause rang out, Xiao Chongyan sneered, "The princess has a lot of impassioned words! But I don't know who can understand these words of exculpation? Fame, money, the country, and the people bow down to their subordinates, who doesn't want to! You have already embarked on this long road of ups and downs, and you have already been unable to help yourself! Born in the emperor's family, born destined to live in the struggle for power all his life, the first emperor favored you excessively, and gave you the honor that all princesses in history have never enjoyed, but fortunately you are just a woman, otherwise your fate will be worse than your royal brother and brother!" He stared at me, as if he was about to penetrate me, "I am afraid you understand these truths better than me, you have not learned and learned no skills for many years, isn't it the law of protecting yourself?" But the old man who is really stupid and pretends to be stupid can still see it at a glance, not to mention that you are in the company of Yuwen Qiye, so people have to guard against it! Now that Yuwen Qiye is missing, this matter of poisoning the emperor, but he instructed you?"

"Nonsense!" I immediately retorted, my expression became a little hideous for no reason, "The matter between my father and Jing Hong has nothing to do with Jiulang, you don't want to spray people with blood and blame him!

"Kill you?" Xiao Chongyan slowly approached, a pair of eagle eyes looked at me, and whispered in my ear, "It's not so easy for you to die, hand over the jade seal edict, otherwise ......"

"What else?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him, but I didn't know what I wanted, "What do you want?"

Xiao Chongyan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, distanced himself from me, and lowered his head to play with the corners of his clothes.

Empress Dowager Xiao, who had been silent for a long time on the other side, spoke: "The Emperor Taishang loves the eldest princess Zhaoyuan, and the emperor also loves the eldest princess. Uncle has stayed in Yizhou for many years, I am afraid that not only the eldest princess has not married after the double ten years, and the original lover has abandoned her now, I wonder if the two emperors know about it, can they still walk steadily?" she paused, and when she talked about the first emperor, there was no trace of sadness on her face, and her cheeks with even makeup were as beautiful as usual. Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at me, pretending to be careless behind Yu Linwei and said, "You were colleagues in Beijing with General Jinwu back then, in order to be loyal to the first emperor and show your concern for your colleagues, don't you all want to worry about my heavenly family?"

Her words made my heart tighten, and I caught an unusual hint in them. Countless unbearable and dangerous thoughts swirled in my mind, and Yu Linwei obviously heard the meaning of Empress Dowager Xiao's words, and looked at each other one by one, and the eyes looking at me became subtle and restrained.

"What's the matter, you don't even listen to the words of the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked coldly, Xiao Chongyan looked at me and smiled meaningfully, turned around and walked out of the Hanyuan Palace. "If you don't serve the eldest princess of Zhaoyuan for the mourning family and the emperor tonight, you don't want to step out of the Hanyuan Palace alive tomorrow!"

"Yes!

I was already scared into a cold sweat on my back, and Empress Dowager Xiao stepped aside to watch this good scene with cold eyes, looking at Lan Shao in a pool of blood with a cold gaze, and then threw herself at me again.

"You are not allowed to come!" I roared, my words trembling, looking at Yu Linwei who was slowly approaching me, I stepped back step by step, and suddenly tripped over one of Lan Shao's hands lying on the ground, and fell in a pool of blood.

"Princess...... The ministers were also forced to do so...... You, don't blame us......" A Yu Lin Wei had already taken off his armor, "If you want to blame, blame Yuwen Qiye!"

Yulin Jinwu has been fighting with each other for a hundred years, and now Yuwen Qiye has earned countless limelight for Jinwu alone, which has already made Yulin like a fish in his throat, and the words of Empress Dowager Xiao just now just rightly aroused the jealousy that they ambushed in their hearts, and now they are using this as a reason to despise me, like an arrow from the string, and it has long been a fact that I am powerless to resist.

"Qi Ye......" I whispered his name, trying to search for him through the cracks in the feather guards that surrounded me. The words I said to Sijiu at first were just an excuse for me to want him to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, so as not to be plotted again. Forty-nine is stubborn, if I don't tell such a lie, how can he not leave me. And whether Qi Ye will appear or not, I don't know, and I don't even know where he is at the moment.

"Shh The filthy jokes between men reached my ears, filthy and mixed with thick blood, which made me almost sick. I hugged my legs tightly and buried my head deep in my knees, gritting my teeth no matter how pushed and shoved.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at all this happening in front of her, and after a long time, a smile appeared on her lips, and she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Ahh

I struggled out of the grip of the crowd, picked up the long knife on the ground, and without thinking about it, stabbed into the abdomen of one of the Yu Lin guards, and immediately pulled it out with all my might, and the blood splattered all over my body. My clothes and shoes were already in tatters, and my hair was scattered all around, so I couldn't see everyone clearly, and I only felt that my eyes were full of fiery red flames.

"Hahahahahaha, someone is dead, do you want to be buried with you?

I frantically raised the blade that was still bleeding and kept flying in the air, so frightened that Yu Linwei retreated again and again, and the clothes on my body were not fully dressed, and I was embarrassed.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of everyone, I laughed so much that I almost burst into tears, and stepped up the steps step by step with a long knife, the only thing echoing in my blank mind was the words that Sijiu leaned over and said in my ear at that time.

- "Princess, Bi Yu said that there is a mechanism in Hanyuan Hall that the emperor buried to protect her earlier, and it is under your phoenix throne. With a slight twist, no one in this hall could escape. ”

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!"
