"Villains usually die of talking." I don't know how long it took, Murong Fu's voice sounded in the originally quiet palace, and the tone was a rare light and soothing tone in this time. "So, I'd rather explain it now, if your soul isn't gone...... Zhao Xu, what makes you so conceited that you think that your joy and anger will be more important than the well-being of the world? You've disappointed me so much! ”

Of course, Zhao Xu, whose neck had been broken, would not answer again, and Murong Fu stood up without his answer. I saw that he casually tore off the two iron shackles that were still holding his wrists and threw them to the ground, and then staggered towards the imperial case in front of him.

On the royal case, there are all kinds of wine and food. Murong Fu propped up the table with both hands, and he was actually sitting on the imperial case. I saw him pick up the light dishes and use some of them casually, and drank three glasses of imperial wine in a row, and then sighed faintly. After a while, Murong Fu came back to his senses in a daze, and then ripped open the corner of his robe, took out a white pill from the crack of his clothes, and threw it into the wine jug. According to Zhuge Zheng, who provided this substance, this pill is made of a mixture of mandala, aconitum, arsenic/frost, etc., and the method of death is quick and painless, and it is an excellent medicine for killing people and killing people.

Seeing that Murong Fu was about to drink the poisoned wine, Xiao Feng finally appeared. "Is that all that?" Xiao Feng has Zhuge Zheng and me to help, in fact, he has already arrived. It's just that Zhao Xu was too helpful, so he never came forward.

Hearing Xiao Feng's question, Murong Fu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, so he put down his wine glass and turned around. "It turned out that the eldest brother is here!" I saw that his expression was calm and his tone was calm, as if they were in the back garden of Murong Mansion instead of the royal Jin Ming Pond, and there was a dead emperor lying in front of them. "It's a pity that I can't invite you to drink." Because the only pot of wine in front of them has been poisoned/drugged.

Noticing Murong Fu's calm look, Xiao Feng felt that his heart fell, and he suddenly didn't grasp everything. But at this point, he still had to say what he had to say. "Murong, it's here, come with me!"

This sentence was obviously also expected by Murong Fu. He didn't even shake his gaze for a moment and slowly replied, "It's over, big brother, you go." As for the little brother, I can't leave and I don't want to go. ”

"I know you don't have the intention of seeking death, you have your reasons. But you should also know that if I can come here, I must not watch you die! Xiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said hurriedly.

Murong Fu's face was as usual without sadness or joy, and he only asked, "Reason?" ”

Looking at Murong Fu's calm eyes, Xiao Feng was suddenly suffocated. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Murong, can't I ...... my affection for you?"

"So what?" But before Xiao Feng finished speaking, Murong Fu had already categorically refused. "How can you and I relive this world? I killed Zhao Xu but still wanted the Shu Party to govern, how could the Zhao Song royal family not pay a price if they took the path I planned for them? ”

"Even if it costs you your life?" Xiao Feng stared at Murong Fu and asked in a low voice.

"Not bad!" Murong Fu did not hesitate.

"Even if you know that countless people will be heartbroken by your death, and life is worse than death?"

"Not bad!"

Xiao Feng has always known that his Murong Jian is unstoppable. But at this moment, what was surging in Xiao Feng's heart was no longer pride but pain, boundless pain. "Great love is merciless, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Xiao Feng's eyes were red, but Murong Fu smiled quietly. "The love between you and me is no bigger than these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and it can't last for thousands of years. Big brother, you know what I'm going to choose. When you persuade me to take this path, you should understand that I have to choose this way! ”

"If I say, Brother Zhuge ......"

Halfway through Xiao Feng's words, Murong Fu shook his head again and said categorically: "What I want is foolproof!" Murong Fu asked himself, if it weren't for his affection for Xiao Feng, ten Xiao Yuanshan would have killed him a long time ago, and he would not have come to this point. The so-called teacher who does not forget the past and the future, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past?

"What about me?" Xiao Feng was silent for a long time, suddenly lowered his head to wipe away his tears, and asked faintly.

"Big brother, it's me who can't stand you, and I've always been sorry for you." Murong Fu's gaze finally softened, and his voice became light and ethereal. "Every time, every time I will choose, let you go." Speaking of this, Murong Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ah Zhu followed Xiao Feng back then, and he was inexplicably jealous and almost killed Ah Zhu. But now that I think about it, Ah Zhu, who treats Xiao Feng wholeheartedly and can give everything for Xiao Feng, has always been ten million times better than him Murong Fu. “…… So, you go! Forget Murong Fu and forget everything that happened. Looking back at this world, everyone is better than Murong. ”

"So what?" Xiao Feng only stubbornly shook his head. "Between you and me, are you still clear? You have never complained against me, so how can I ever complain against you? …… Murong, why don't you always understand, no matter how good they are, it's not Murong Fu! "No matter how good Ah Zhu is, he is not Murong Fu; No matter how stupid Ah Zi is, he is not Murong Fu. Except for Murong Fu himself, no one is Murong Fu!

Murong Fu didn't answer again, he stared at Xiao Feng quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled to himself, then turned around and picked up the cup of poisonous wine again.

"Murong!" Xiao Feng shouted again.

"Big brother, the words have been said thoroughly, the fate has ended, and it won't be like you to be entangled again." Murong Fu turned his head to look at Xiao Feng, raised his eyebrows and smiled. This smile was bright and fiery, as if they met for the first time more than ten years ago. "My war is over, and it is my highest honor to be able to die cleanly in the last battle!"

Xiao Feng only looked at him with burning eyes, and said slowly: "You have always been like this, you have never refused to listen to me." Murong, do you remember what we said when we married Jin Lan? ”

I do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month. This sentence has always been the standard line of the righteous brothers, and Xiao Feng and Murong Fu are not exempt from vulgarity.

I saw Murong Fu bow his head and ponder for a while, and suddenly smiled dumbly. The next moment, he actually picked up the wine jug and filled Xiao Feng with a glass. "Big brother, please!"

Murong Fu is so uncoerced, it is simply ruthless. But Xiao Feng looked at Murong Fu silently for a while, and actually laughed. I saw him step forward and pick up the wine glass, and said again: "In addition to the righteousness of brothers, there is more husband and wife between you and me." ”

This understatement really caught Murong Fu off guard. The two stared at each other for a long time, then suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and drank the cup of poisoned wine with their arms crossed.

Perhaps for Xiao Feng and Murong Fu, this word of love has always been to drink arsenic/frost with a smile, without complaint or regret.

In the middle of the moon, in the Longyou Palace, which had been quiet for a long time, an uninvited guest suddenly came - Zhuge Zhengme, the leader of the six gates!

Seeing the Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhuge Zheng and I immediately knelt on the ground and said profusely: "Empress Dowager Qi, the official family...... The official family is dead! ”

Xiang Xiang's hand landed on the ground, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" Zhuge Zheng kowtowed again with a pale face, and hurriedly summoned Zhao Xu to Murong Fu in Jinmingchi in private, but I didn't know that Murong Fu broke his neck one by one.

Since Murong Fu was imprisoned, Zhao Xu has no good face for Empress Dowager Xiang. They have little mother-son fate, and Queen Mother Xiang naturally will not be too sad about Zhao Xu's death. Yes, without waiting for Zhuge Zheng to finish speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiang has already recovered her former wisdom and wisdom. Especially when she heard that Zhuge Zheng said that Zhao Xu actually retreated when she saw Murong Fu, her face changed several times, obviously guessing something. After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "What about Murong Qing?" ”

Zhuge Zheng saw that the Empress Dowager Xiang cared more about Murong Fu than about Zhao Xu, and the big stone in his heart immediately fell to the ground, and he hurriedly wept and said: "I have committed suicide and died...... Before Lord Murong died, he wanted to tell the Queen Mother that the stability of the society and the dignity of the royal family were far more important than thousands of Murong Fudu. He can finally be with Princess Shushou, please don't be sad. ”

Empress Dowager Xiang really had a deeper affection for Princess Shushou and Murong Fu, and instantly burst into tears, choked up for a long time and sobbed: "The mourning family knows...... The mourners have always known ...... Murong Qing was loyal, how could he rebel? ”

The cry of the Empress Dowager Xiang soon alarmed Zhao Xiaoyuan, who was in the inner hall, and he ran out quickly, while pinching the silk handkerchief to wipe the tears of the Empress Dowager Xiang, and obediently persuaded: "Big lady, don't cry, don't cry......"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Xiang took Zhao Xiaoyuan in her arms and gradually collected her tears, Zhuge Zheng and I also wiped our tears and whispered: "Queen Mother, this matter must not be publicized!" ”

Of course, the Empress Dowager Xiang understands that this kind of erotic/erotic scandal in which the emperor coerces/rapes the minister cannot succeed, but the minister's neck is broken, must not be publicized. But now after all, an emperor is dead, how can he easily cover up the past? "What can Zhuge Qing do?"

Zhuge Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said resolutely: "For today's plan, we can only condemn Murong Fu for plotting against the monarch and punish him for the nine clans!" ”

"Nope! No way! Empress Dowager Xiang hurriedly shook her head, "Murong Qing is loyal to my Great Song Dynasty, how can he treat the heroes like this?" And Shuju...... Shushou will not forgive me as the queen mother even under Jiuquan...... "Obviously, Zhuge is suggesting that the Queen Mother Xiang is not only emotionally unacceptable, but also intellectually unacceptable. If Murong Fu is really convicted of rebellion, then how will Empress Dowager Xiang, who has always defended Murong Fu, deal with herself in the future?

Even Zhao Xiaoyuan, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, cried when he heard this: "Uncle Shi, Lord Murong saved my life, why did you want to harm him?" ”

Zhuge Zheng pinched Zhao Xiaoyuan's little hand to appease, and then leaned down and kowtowed three times, and said word by word: "The Queen Mother is benevolent and righteous, and Weichen has thanked Lord Murong for it." ”

Zhuge Zheng and I had the intention to be tempted, but the Empress Dowager Xiang was not very angry, but sighed lightly: "Zhuge Qing, the official family is indeed absurd, but the matter has come to this point, and you and I have to work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

"Wechen is terrified!" Xiang Empress Dowager has this mind, Zhuge Zheng and I finally put my mind at ease and said frankly. "Lord Murong's body, the lower officials have quietly returned to the death row of the Japanese army."

Empress Dowager Xiang is also a smart person who speaks at the beginning and ends of her words, and with Zhuge Zheng's sentence, she immediately understood that this was to separate the time of death of Zhao Xu and Murong Fu. After the new monarch succeeds to the throne, it is announced that Murong Fu is sick and died in prison, and the world will not have many conjectures. "How many people still know about tonight?"

Zhuge Zheng understood in my heart, and said busily: "Except for Lord Cai Jingcai, only some palace guards and palace maids know. Those palace maids are now in the hands of Wei Chen. ”

As soon as she heard Cai Jing's name, the Queen Mother immediately gritted her teeth. "If it weren't for Cai Jing's slanderous words, how could Murong Qing have suffered this catastrophe?"

Empress Dowager's sentence obviously also determined Cai Jing's fate. A trace of coldness flashed in Zhuge Zheng's eyes, and he said: "According to Weichen's opinion, the official family should have died accidentally while drinking and having fun in Jinmingchi, and the guards and palace maids were ineffective in protecting them, so they should be martyred." Lord Cai got along with the officials and ministers, and also volunteered to be martyred. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the queen mother urgently recruits the right minister to determine the new monarch. ”

"Xinjun?" Empress Dowager's heart moved, and she realized that Zhao Xu had no heirs after her death, and she had the right to say who would inherit the throne. I saw that the Empress Dowager Xiang slowly moved down along Zhuge Zheng's eyes, and soon stopped her gaze on Zhao Xiaoyuan in her arms. In terms of feelings, the Empress Dowager Xiang is naturally closer to Zhao Xiaoyuan, who was raised by her. However, in terms of legal theory, Zhao Xiaoyuan is far from being the heir in the first line. "In addition to the official family, the first emperor still has heirs."

"King Shen is blind, King Yan and King Yue are all young, and they can't see their character. Only filial piety is always around the Queen Mother, and she has the magnanimity of the Queen Mother, and the princes of the Political Affairs Hall have also praised her. "Zhuge Zheng and I looked calm, and told the words of persuasion that he had already agreed with Murong Fu." Now the Shu Party is dominant in the court, but Murong is involved in rebellion, and the Shu Party is trembling. As long as the Queen Mother can clear Murong Xiang's name, Su Xiang will definitely fully support the Queen Mother, and there will not be much opposition to the court. ”

Zhuge Zheng said this, and nodded to the Queen Mother again and again, and suddenly felt that there was a lot to be done. However, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked again, "Murong Qing...... And what should I do? ”

"Lord Murong was in weak health, and died of illness at home shortly after he was released from prison." Zhuge replied with a straight face.

Murong Fu's parents died, and for the sake of Shushou, he has not been married so far, so he is hanging alone. In addition, he was involved in rebellion before, so he didn't dare to be approached when he was released from prison and went home. Thinking about such an arrangement, I'm afraid that no one will be able to see the flaw. But it was the Empress Dowager Xiang who thought of Murong Fu serving her like a mother because of her longevity over the years, and she couldn't help but cry like rain again. "The mourners want to see him......"

Zhuge Zheng's heart jumped when he heard this, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Queen Mother, Lord Murong died by touching the pillar, and his death was tragic and indecent...... What's more, now there are thousands of things, I don't know how many people's eyes are on the Queen Mother......"

The Empress Dowager Xiang naturally knew how difficult it was for the Empress Dowager to leave the palace or send a corpse in from outside the palace, and seeing that even Zhuge Zheng and I disagreed, she cried for a while and had to accept the reality. "Zhuge Qing, pass on the mourning family Yi's will, and quickly summon Su Zhe into the palace to meet you!"

"Obey the order!" Zhuge Zheng and I simply responded neatly, and strode out.

Zhao Xiaoyuan listened to it ignorantly for a long time, as if he understood something, but he still seemed to be confused. He turned his head and saw that the Empress Dowager Xiang was still weeping, and looked at the other party sideways for a long time, and finally couldn't help crying and asked, "Big Lady, is Lord Murong really dead?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang nodded while crying, and said bitterly: "Murong Qing is still paving the way for you when he is dying, and he is really loyal to our Zhao and Song royal families. "Empress Dowager Xiang has served beside Empress Dowager Gao, known as "Female Zhongyao Shun", for many years, and she is not known to be much higher than Zhao Xu in terms of political wisdom. Zhuge Fangcai's strategies, how could the Queen Mother not know whose handiwork it was? "Now he's gone, leaving us orphans and widows. Above the Japanese court, where can I find another capable and loyal Murong Fu? ”

Zhao Xiaoyuan was pure-hearted, and he was originally going to cry loudly when he heard that Murong Fu was dead. But now that he saw the Empress Dowager Xiang heartbroken, the strength in his bones made him hold back tears. I saw him puffing out his face and gritting his teeth, seriously wiping his tears for the Queen Mother, and said firmly: "Big lady, don't worry!" You still have filial piety! ”

At this moment, the Queen Mother Xiang did not feel the weight of an eight-year-old child's promise. However, people in later generations know that there is a promise from Emperor Dezong, the lord of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, that even if the sky falls, he can hold it up for you!

When Murong Fu came to his senses, he found himself flying in the sky. Xiao Feng, who had drunk the poisoned wine with him, was holding him steadily, standing in the hanging basket of the rising hot air balloon.

"The poison/medicine that Brother Zhuge gave you is fake, that's what I meant." Xiao Feng never lowered his head, but even if he didn't bow his head, he already felt that Murong had woken up. "I know you've always been stubborn, and if you knew that the poison was fake, you would be killed if you didn't say it. But how can I let you die? With just this sentence, Xiao Feng's originally firm voice was instantly shattered. Murong, I know that I owe you a lot, but you never complain about me. I just beg you to give me another chance, so that I can accompany you, take care of you, and repay you the affection I owe you......"

Murong Fu didn't speak, and the hot tears rolling down Xiao Feng's cheeks were smashing on his face bit by bit. He should have thought of it a long time ago, since Zhuge Zheng and I could get Xiao Feng into Jin Mingchi to persuade him not to commit suicide, then the poison/medicine given to him must be fake!

“…… From now on, I will never leave you for half a step, I will do whatever you want me to do. If you don't want to see me......" Xiao Feng was still chattering, aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law.

Murong Fu let out a long sigh and suddenly smiled to himself. Now that it's been done, do you want him to roll over and jump off the hot air balloon? The night was over, and a red sun was about to erupt from behind the rolling mountains, and a thousand golden rays had enveloped them.

In the distance, it is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that are within reach, thousands of years!
