"Are you...... What do you mean? She curled her lips and brows, and looked at me innocently, as if she didn't realize what a stormy impact her words had had on me—or rather, to her, it was just an ordinary and normal mention.

"Haven't you thought about it? What it was like to sit on that throne. She gently took my hand, hugged me gently, and whispered in my ear, every word was like a demagogic spell, clearly a clear and moving voice, but it taught me not to give birth to the slightest familiar throbbing, "When you become the master of the world, who else dares to force you...... Do what you don't want to do? ”

-- Lord of the world, what a seductive word.

Maybe she's right, if I were the emperor on the high, I'm afraid no one would dare to force me to marry someone I don't like, and no one would dare to threaten me to kill everyone I care about, right?

However, I also knew very well that the price to pay for sitting in that chair was far from something I could give up, and that the frustrations and burdens I had to endure in order to consolidate my position of power were not something I could afford.

Like Kuang Xihan in the past, I don't have the ability to rule the world, let alone ambition.

And what alone taught me to be stunned and painful was that this was my beloved's mentions.

"Is this what you want?" I took her hand, withdrew from her embrace, and looked at her fixedly, looking into her abyss-like eyes, but I couldn't see her heart, "I hope I will usurp the throne □□ and ascend the throne as emperor?" ”

"It can be seen that you really don't want to." She didn't avoid my gaze, she still hooked her lips and looked at me, but the curvature of the corners of her lips showed a little bitterness, and her eyes became dim, "I already understand, but I still have unwillingness and want to try." ”

The look on her face at that moment puzzled me and made me feel uneasy.

"Try what? Do you test my sincerity? Suppressing my displeasure, I dodged her clinging hands sideways and said in a cold voice, "I told you that my greatest wish is to stay with you for the rest of my life...... Don't you believe me? ”

Taking a deep breath, I glanced at the end of the uninhabited garden, I didn't want to look at her, just stared at the hazy moon shadow behind the heavy clouds: "Or is this qiē just my own amorousness, you never thought of joining me, away from this fame and fortune, right and wrong?" All, all ......" is fake.

- Besides, if you become an emperor, will you be able to get what you want?

No, it's not like that.

When you are a prince, you have the troubles of a prince; When you are an emperor, you also have the helplessness of the emperor, who is better than whom?

What's more, I have long planned to let go of Yiqiē and Jiang Zhuo in the future and return to the mountains and forests, and learn to wander the world like King Duan, so why bother to take the hardest and most tiring errand in the world and ask for troubles?

"I believe you, of course, and I don't want to," she frowned as if she were angry, and interrupted me very quickly, not at all wanting to hear me continue, "I am only mentioning yì for you to no longer be subject to her control—and to take your place as emperor is undoubtedly the most labor-saving and safest way." ”

"There will always be a way," I clenched my fists, trying to persuade her, and also to persuade myself to be convinced of this, "I am not willing to compromise with her, let alone be an emperor." ”

Seeing that she was going to persuade again, I couldn't help but say my true thoughts: "When it's really a last resort, I'll take you out of here." ”

-- I have a tiger talisman of 50,000 soldiers and horses given by King Duan, and Yan Ke has also secretly trained a group of loyal guards.

She had told me that although the number of guards was limited, all of them were dead soldiers, even the palace guards.

The world is so big, as long as you have armor and money in your hands, there is no place where you can't go.

As for the aftermath, I have also considered it: the attendants in the palace each paid a sum of silver taels to be dismissed, and the same was true for the servants, and my husband Fu Zhenzhen could only say sorry to him.

However, with Fu Yunchong here, he should be able to save his life, and if I don't bring him with me, the imperial sister will also understand that I have no intention of treating him, and naturally I will not embarrass him...... All that's left to think about is how to get out of the palace.

"Leave? Where to go? She frowned, as if she was interested in my suggestion but also suspicious.

"Nanfeng, Rongxi, even leaving Dawu, it is good to go anywhere, as long as you and I are together." I put my arm around her, thinking that if I played coquettish and played tricks without shame, I would be able to convince her with some certainty.

"Naive," she said very closely, but not forgivingly, "you still think things too simply." ”

When the dispute continued, Jiang Zhuo suddenly hugged me and flashed into the shadow of the rockery, covering my mouth and nose with one hand, and holding up his index finger against his lips with the other, signaling me to silence.

Holding his breath, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from all directions, accompanied by a cold and low report: "Your Majesty, you have found the traces of the assassin!" ”

Kuang Xiqing's calm and indifferent voice sounded, teaching me a chill in my heart: "Find out King Ling, and the rest of the people ...... There is no mercy for killing. ”

When I was suddenly confused and at a loss, Jiang Zhuo pinched my face soothingly and whispered, "Wait for me." ”

After speaking, I don't know which direction she broke through, but it disappeared in front of my eyes in an instant, leaving only the roars of shouting "catch her" one after another outside, which taught me to almost doubt the reality of being in her arms at that moment just now.

"Smack." The small movement of the gravel being kicked away, I raised my head and met Kuang Xiqing's eyebrows looking down, she was not as gloomy as I expected, let alone angry, but smiled disapprovingly, and handed me her hand, as if to accommodate the naughty child: "Han'er, go back with me." ”

Staring at her gentle smile, by the time I woke up, I had already extended my hand to her.

Even if I clearly know that this is her false tenderness, it is difficult to refuse, probably this is one of the great influences that Kwong Xiqing can't get rid of on my body.

Silently, he followed her back to the previous room, where the guards at the door had changed a group of people, including the two women whom Otoku called "his own people".

After stepping into the house, Kuang Xiqing had no intention of sitting for a long time, but stood not far from the door, looking at the paperweight that I had forgotten on the side: "It's so late, how can Han'er appear in the imperial garden?" ”

"Can't sleep, go for a walk." Avoiding her gaze, I said casually.

"I see," she continued, as if believing me, "just remember to ask someone to follow me next time, and don't worry me." ”

"Hmm...... "Seeing that she didn't plan to investigate where I went and who I saw, I was relieved, but I still pinched a cold sweat for Jiang Zhuo - I don't know if she left, with her martial arts, she shouldn't be caught...... bar.

At this time, a janissary with a leadership ornament embroidered on his shoulder quickly approached the door and knelt down on one knee: "Report - a woman of unknown origin has been caught at the west gate, suspected of being an assassin, please make a decision." ”

"Didn't I say that? There is no mercy for killing. Kuang Xiqing glanced coldly at the janissary guard and waved his hand impatiently.

My heart tightened and I blurted out, "Wait! ”

"Huh?" She looked sideways at me, curled her lips and smiled, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't kill her, Naf's business...... I should be you. "Needless to say, that person must be Jiang Zhuo.

In order to save her life, she had to use a delaying tactic.

"Han'er, just an assassin, can you be so valued that you don't hesitate to compromise with me to save her?" She raised her eyebrows, and the sharp glint in her eyes seemed to be insightful.

- A mere assassin?

Perhaps to Kwong Xiqing, she was just an assassin.

But how can I explain how important she is to me?

This point can never be taught to Kuang Xiqing.

“…… Let her go, please. I was silent for a long time in her smiling eyes, and finally I couldn't help but speak.

This game, from the moment I couldn't hold my breath, was doomed, but I had no choice.

Because I didn't dare to gamble with Jiang Zhuo's life on the possibility that Kuang Xiqing would not execute her—I didn't dare.

What I didn't expect was that I was wrong after all.

My concern for her is the source of her unforgivable sin.

"You begged for her? Heh," Kuang Xiqing's eyes changed, and then slowly retracted the curvature of the corners of her mouth, and turned around coldly, "Since that's the case, then I can't keep her even more." ”

"Don't!" Seeing her walk out without looking back, I only felt that the blood in my whole body rushed to my mind at this moment, extreme fear, shock, and hesitation...... In the end, they turned into a miserable shout, "Don't ...... Make me hate you! ”

Her footsteps did not stop for half a minute: "Since you don't love, then hate." ”

- Hate?

I only hate Kwong Xihan and hate myself.

Pacing around the room anxiously, worried and regretful in his heart: it would be better to know that this was the case......

Oh, what might it be?

Usurpation? Enthroned?

Ask yourself, can I really get through that level in my heart?

Probably not.

But is it really the result I want to be helpless like a trapped beast now?

The answer is also incomprehensible.

Before I knew it, it was dawn, and I was still confined to this square inch, trying to figure out how to solve it, but I was helpless.

When he was suffering, he heard a movement outside the door.

A slightly familiar female voice sounded indistinctly: "The subordinate was ordered to deliver breakfast." ”

After waiting for a while, the guard guarding the door gave two warnings and let go.

The door was pushed open, against the light, and I squinted to see that the person who came in with food turned out to be Yiliu!

Suppressing my feelings, I quietly waited for her to close the door, walked to the table and put down the tray, then rushed up, grabbed her arm, lowered my voice and asked, "Why are you here?" What about Jiang Zhuo? How is she? Say it quickly! ”

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, Lord Jiang was caught by the guards last night, and his life is safe for the time being, but the holy will is unpredictable......" She also lowered her voice and said to me.

Although I had expected it, hearing her news still made my heart feel relieved for a moment after hanging all night.

- Although Kuang Xiqing said that she put aside her cruel words, she would still be afraid in the end, if she really killed people regardless of the cause and effect of a qiē, it would not be the thoughtful and suspicious imperial sister in my impression.

But a night has passed, what else can save Jiang Zhuo's life?

Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, took out a bag from my close-fitting pocket and stuffed it into Yi Liu's hand, and commanded in a deep voice: "You give this thing to Steward Yan as a certificate, and order her to quickly lead people to surround the palace to save the king and Jiang Zhuo - try not to conflict with the guards, and focus on saving people, remember to remember." ”

There is not only the jade Jue given to me by Yan Ke, but also the half of the tiger talisman left by King Duan, which is my entire net worth.

I just hope that Yan Ke can understand what I mean, and time will be in time to turn the tide.

"Yes," she bowed and gave half a military salute, solemnly agreeing, "I will live up to the trust of His Highness." ”

After she was gone, I began to wait in fear, comforting myself and dying.

When it was almost noon, the quiet palace suddenly became noisy.

I heard the footsteps of people coming and going, and I heard the shouting and scolding...... Soon after, the sound of soldiers colliding with each other was heard.

After a long time, the sun turned westward until noon, the setting sun was like blood, and the scorching light of the burning clouds shone through the window screen into the house, brilliant and gorgeous, hot and fierce, and seemed to indicate some kind of ominous omen.

There was a sound of conversation outside the door, and I leaned over to listen for a while, and for a while, it was as if my whole body was blocked by ice and snow for nine cold days.

"How's it up ahead?"

"What else? The rebellion has been suppressed! As for the thief leader Jiang Zhuo, he was captured by our majesty in one fell swoop and sent to the prison! ”

- What did she say?

Jiang Zhuo was ...... Hit the prison!

What the hell is going on?
