At this moment, Dongfang Shuo looked at the emperor with a little surprise in his eyes.

Although he had already prepared to kill the emperor, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly, and even he could not have expected that this matter would be told to him by the emperor himself.

"Your Majesty......"

Dongfang Shuo frowned.

And the emperor looked at Dongfang Shuo, and said in a calm tone as if smiling: "Now that you don't have to be coy. You've wanted this power since the beginning, haven't you, and don't you want it to be given to you today?"

This sentence made Dongfang Shuo's heart shake a little.

He didn't hesitate to kill the emperor, because after the emperor said those words, he was even more determined to do something.

What he hesitated at the moment was the emperor's attitude, he couldn't see clearly, speculated and couldn't understand, whether the emperor at this moment was true or acting on the spot.

And the emperor is testing him.

"I don't want power, and I don't want a throne. At this point, Dongfang Shuo raised his head and looked at the emperor with firm eyes, "My wish from the beginning is to completely smash the current rule that makes me unhappy, and it will always be the same. ”

Neither his tone nor his eyes showed the slightest hesitation.

And this kind of situation naturally made the emperor pause slightly, close his eyes and be silent for a moment.

After a while, the emperor said: "The admonition of the predecessors is so, since the widow has understood it thoroughly, then there is nothing worth remembering." The widow has come to his senses, and he doesn't plan to see today's sunset, the sunset is sad. ”

When the words fell, the Emperor had stepped back and sat down on the bed.

After sitting down, he looked at Dongfang Shuo quietly for a moment, and then continued: "What sharp weapons do you have?"

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

Dongfang Shuo frowned.

If you talk about sharp weapons, there are.

Although he didn't bring out the dog beating stick this time, he always carried the dagger that Ji Zhaoning gave him before.

"The widow will die today, but the widow hopes that it will be you who will kill the widow. ”

The emperor's eyes stared straight at Dongfang Shuo's face without any deviation.

The latter looked at the former's gaze, but still couldn't read any emotions, which shows that the former was hiding very deeply.

So now, Dongfang Shuo still doesn't dare to easily determine what the emperor has in mind.

"Your Majesty may not have to be martyred, and there may not be only one way to be so big in the world. ”

Dongfang Shuo clenched his fists and said.

Even if this is against his will, Dongfang Shuo has to say it at this moment.

At least as a loyal minister on the surface, he had to say it.

"Hey. ”

After hearing this, the emperor sighed, and then said, "So far, Dongfang Aiqing, don't you understand? Or do you not want to believe the widow at all?"

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to shatter is this rule, not Your Majesty's imperial power. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

The Emperor was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

After laughing, the emperor said: "The widow is this rule, the only foundation, if you want to break this rule, the widow will have to die, you should have understood this truth a long time ago." It's not necessary. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Dongfang Shuo bent down and knelt.

The smile on the emperor's face was even worse, but the sadness under the smile was also a little deeper.

Immediately, he pointed to Dongfang Shuo and said: "You are still unwilling to be honest with the widow, it seems that you want to be hypocritical to the end." ”

"Long live Your Majesty. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

"Hooray...... This is the first time you meet the widow, a greeting to the widow, the widow remembers. ”

With that, the emperor slowly raised his head and looked at the roof of the room.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Cai finally spoke again: "The widow doesn't want to die, but the widow has already chosen you, and now you are the only one who can save the empire, this is the general trend." And if the widow does not die, there will be a shackle on your head, and if the widow dies, you can move forward. Then, he lowered his gaze and fell on Dongfang Shuo, "Stand up." This is the last will of the widow. ”

After Dongfang Shuo was silent for a while, he stood up.

His gaze focused on the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have to die today?"

"I have to die. ”

The Emperor nodded.

Dongfang Shuo's gaze sank, and after a moment, he took out the dagger from his body.

The dagger was wrapped with a layer of gauze, and Dongfang Shuo bypassed the gauze wrapped around it in front of the emperor and Xu Changsheng.

When the full picture of the dagger was revealed in front of the two of them, both of them had a look of surprise on their faces.

Finally, until the gauze fell to the ground, a wry smile hung on the emperor's face.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The emperor said: "The knife in your hand is the first in the world, named Ku Dye, and it appeared in the Longlin Empire two hundred years ago. This was a good thing, but it was rumored that bitter dye was an ominous blade for Longlin, and later the empire really sent a disaster. Then, the indestructible bitter dye was taken out of the dragon forest and sent to the cliff of the first peak in the world and thrown down. Unexpectedly, it appeared in front of the widow again. ”

"How can Your Majesty be sure that this is the bitter stain of two hundred years ago?"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the dagger in his hand and asked like this.

The Emperor smiled: "There are not many people who have really seen bitter dyeing, so almost no one can forge such a fake that is exactly the same." What's more, the aura it exudes is chilling, and ordinary blades must not be able to do it. ”

But having said that, in fact, Dongfang Shuo didn't feel the breath on the dagger.

But he didn't ask much, because he had already seen the sharpness of this dagger, and naturally there was no need to worry about whether it was a genuine bitter dye.

"After Your Majesty dies, what will happen to the ministers?"

Dongfang Shuo held the dagger in both hands and asked.

The emperor said: "At this point, you should think more long-term than the widow. The widow is already a dying man, so stop being hypocritical to the widow. ”

At this time, Dongfang Shuo was silent.

Although he did not directly affirm it, he did not deny it anymore.

"Pick up the bitter dye. The emperor got up slowly, but did not move, and stood on the edge of the bed with his hands outstretched, "Pierce the widow's chest, for the sake of this world, and draw an end to your days of travel." ”

Looking at the emperor, Dongfang Shuo lowered his hands.

He looked at the ground and said, "Your Majesty wants to hear my plan?"

The emperor said, "Say it." ”

"Although the thoughts of the Six Princes are not the same as mine, they are also extremely similar, so I plan to use him. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

After hearing this, the emperor raised his head slightly: "Sixth, he is a smart man, but he is also a fierce horse. At the end of the sentence, he seemed to relax a little, and his outstretched arms sank slightly.

Whew!

As the last word of the emperor blurted out, the sound of the dagger tearing through his clothes and his skin quickly solidified the air in the bedroom.
