The atmosphere inside the ruined temple became eerie. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Ruyan frowned and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"The Emperor's Edict!" Murong Jiu said word by word, "Master Yu, take out the edict." ”
Yu Ruyan looked at Murong Jiu in astonishment and asked, "I have never heard of what edict you said." ”
Wu Ruoyu sneered: "Don't pretend, the first emperor left an edict before he died." Who would have thought that this edict was not in the palace, not in the hands of the clan, and not in the hands of Xiangguo, but the first emperor gave it to a woman, the woman who was most valued by the first emperor during his lifetime. ”
"Ridiculous!" Yu Ruyan shouted, "How could the first emperor have left an edict? Even if there is, it can't be left to me, where did you hear this rumor? ”
Murong Jiu's short dagger had already been pressed against Yu Ruyan's white neck, and he sneered and said, "Yu Taifu, there are things in the edict of the first emperor that are unfavorable to the queen and Zuo Xiang, you really don't have it?" It's hard for me to believe it. ”
Yu Ruyan glared at Murong Jiu and said with a smile: "Murong Jiu, since I left the court three years ago, I have never asked about the world, and I have never been in contact with people in the court. I only learned about the death of the first emperor today, where did the first emperor's edict come from? ”
Murong Jiu used a little more force on his hand, and Yu Ruyan only felt a chill in her neck. Murong Jiu smiled sinisterly: "Master Yu, if you refuse to cooperate, we will have to break the net." ”
Yu Ruyan sneered, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Lord Murong, if I had an edict, I would have returned to the court when I learned that the first emperor had died, and it would be your turn to threaten me here?" ”
Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Yu Taifu, the one who knows the times is Junjie. ”
Yu Ruyan sneered a few times and sighed: "Murong Jiu, I have already been in the first rank of the official residence, ranked as the third duke, the only female concubine in the Chen Kingdom, and I will definitely leave a name in history." What more can you give me? ”
Wu Ruoyu said angrily: "Brother Jiu, since Mrs. Yu is so insistent, if the oil and salt are not entered, it is better to give her a break directly." ”
Murong Jiu stretched out his hand, stopped Wu Ruoyu's words, withdrew the dagger against Yu Ruyan's neck, stood up and said with a smile: "Go, bring that person up!" ”
"Brother Jiu, since she refuses to cooperate, then talk nonsense with her......" Wu Ruoyu was a little impatient.
Murong Jiu drank Wu Ruoyu and said, "Don't go quickly!" ”
Wu Ruoyu glared at Yu Ruyan, turned around and walked towards the broken back hall.
Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Taifu, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us and support the third prince to ascend the throne with Yu Xiangguo and Empress Zhu, I promise to help you take revenge." ”
Yu Ruyan glared and asked, "Third Prince? The crown prince is obviously the fourth prince Zhao Wenzheng, are you trying to usurp the throne? ”
Murong Jiu shook his head and said, "Yu Taifu, we support the three princes to ascend the throne, and the royal family of the Chen State is still surnamed Zhao, how can it be said that it is a plan to usurp the throne?" We are just looking for someone who is more suitable to be the emperor than the crown prince, and as for the crown prince, it is better to retreat and let the virtuous ......"
"Phew!" Yu Ruyan didn't wait for Murong Jiu to finish speaking, she snorted him, "The first emperor died, and the crown prince's accession to the throne is in accordance with the destiny of heaven." Zheng'er is smart and has the appearance of a bright monarch, who doesn't know that the three princes are cowardly by nature, don't you just want to find a puppet to hold the power of the court and government in your hands? ”
Murong Jiu sneered and wiped his face.
Yu Ruyan sneered: "You are in cahoots with the treacherous minister and the demon queen, intending to steal Chen Guo!" Murong Jiu, you will definitely not succeed! ”
Murong Jiu smiled: "It's not up to you to decide whether you can succeed or not. Mrs. Yu, we have already cooperated with you with twelve points of sincerity. As long as you nod your head......"
Yu Ruyan interrupted: "Wishful thinking! ”
Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Master Yu, don't be in a hurry to refute it yet, you haven't seen the big gift we gave yet." Saying that, Murong Jiu clapped his hands twice.
Yu Ruyan stared at the two suspiciously, only to see Wu Ruoyu and the other two black-clothed minions pressing up a disheveled and dirty woman, who was pressed down and kneeling in front of Yu Ruyan.
"Let her look up!" Murong Jiu said.
The black-clothed minion grabbed the woman's hair, ignoring her snort from pain, and the moment Yu Ruyan saw the woman's face, the little sympathy she had just now was gone.
Yu Ruyan pointed at the woman, forcibly suppressing her anger, and there was anger in her voice that was difficult to hide: "What's going on? How did she end up here? ”
Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Master Yu, if the fish can't see the food, how can they bite the hook easily?" This is a welcome gift from me to Taifu. ”
"What do you mean?" Yu Ruyan stared at Murong Jiu and said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, you have something to say." ”
"Mrs. Yu, don't you want to take revenge? Murong Jiu pointed to the woman in front of him and said, "Have you forgotten, what did this woman do to you?" Back then, you got revenge and left the court, but this culprit was the only one who slipped through the net. Don't you want to see her in pain? ”
Yu Ruyan stared at the woman kneeling on the ground, and her thoughts began to drift a little.
Back then, Yu Ruyan was just a little girl, and her father took a concubine when her mother did not give birth to a son. This woman is cruel by nature, bullying her mother to be honest, causing her father to alienate her mother and even beat and scold her later. In a fit of rage, the mother hanged herself. Yu Ruyan is intolerable to her and is often abused.
Later, the woman had a dispute with the county official's little wife, and the county official, together with his boss, sent Yu Ruyan's family to prison, seized the family's property, and sentenced her to exile on a trumped-up charge. His father died of illness in prison, if it weren't for Emperor Wen's micro-service on patrol, he happened to meet Yu Ruyan, who was sick and dying on the way to exile, and brought her back to the palace, but I was afraid that Yu Ruyan would have died in Huangquan.
Later, I heard that the woman took advantage of the fact that the escort was not paying attention and secretly ran away. Yu Ruyan relied on her intelligence, from the prince's companion to the young master, and then to the princess, only to turn over the case of the family accident back then. The imperial court severely punished the county officials who innocently framed Yu Ruyan's family, but the culprit who caused the destruction of his family did not get the punishment he deserved because he disappeared without a trace.
Thinking around, Yu Ruyan looked at the hateful woman in front of her, the woman who forced her mother to death and caused the whole family to be exiled was in front of her, and couldn't help but clench her fists.
Murong Jiu saw Yu Ruyan's small movements, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Yu Taifu, killing her will only dirty your hands, it is better to leave it to us, we will let her taste the most painful punishment in the world." ”
Yu Ruyan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "So, you let me cooperate with you?" Murong Jiu, I am a woman, and I am a civil official, with neither martial arts nor military power. You have a demon queen in the inner palace, and there is a traitor in the court, do you still need me? ”
Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Why did Taifu belittle himself like this? You are Kong Ming in the female middle school, resourceful, the fourth prince was made the crown prince by the first emperor, you are also indispensable, right? ”
Yu Ruyan said: "Murong Jiu, what you said is wrong. I have always been a prince regardless of age, the virtuous and capable, and the first emperor to establish the prince is naturally his sacred heart. How can I influence it? ”
"Brother Jiu, Mrs. Yu is so ignorant, why do we waste our lips and tongues?" Wu Ruoyu said, "It's better to let her go to the underworld with this woman to settle accounts." ”
Yu Ruyan glared at Wu Ruoyu, quickly pulled out the sword on Wu Ruoyu's waist, and stabbed it towards the heart of the woman kneeling on the ground. Murong Jiu and Wu Ruoyu didn't have time to stop it.
Blood gushed out, and Yu Ruyan said coldly: "This is revenge for my mother!" You woman, you should have died a long time ago, and it was already cheap for you to survive until now. ”
The woman collapsed in front of Yu Ruyan with a glare.
"Brother Jiu, she ......" Wu Ruoyu pointed at Yu Ruyan, a little speechless.
Yu Ruyan sneered: "You don't have to use this kind of pickled bait to force me to comply, this is my personal grudge with her, don't bother you to do it." You rebels and thieves will have retribution sooner or later! ”
"Master Yu, let me ask you one last question......" Murong Jiu said.
Yu Ruyan sneered: "Murong Jiu, you go back and tell the old horseman, just say that Taifu Yu Ruyan would rather die than obey the thief!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Ruyan used Wu Ruoyu's sword to slash her neck, and she was about to commit suicide, only to hear Murong Jiu's "don't", her wrist suddenly went numb, and the sword fell to the ground.
Yu Ruyan hadn't reacted yet, only heard Yang Chuting behind her, "Taifu be careful!" ”
Yang Chuting and the others did not see Yu Ruyan come out outside the embroidery room, and heard something strange in the courtyard. Hurriedly rushed in, Yu Ruyan had already been captured. Following the trail of the man in black, chased to the broken temple, saw Yu Ruyan holding a long sword from a distance, and saw that she was about to kill herself, Yang Chuting hurriedly hit her wrist with a stone, grabbed Yu Ruyan's shoulder who was about to commit suicide, and dragged her behind.
Yu Ruyan didn't stand still, her body fell backwards, but fortunately she was caught in a warm embrace.
"Lord Xiao?" Yu Ruyan exclaimed in a low voice, finally a little relieved.
"Taifu, you don't matter, right?" Xiao Feiqing asked.
"General Yang, are you going to cut off your beard?" Murong Jiu asked coldly.
Yang Chuting waved his spear and scolded: "You are waiting for the rebellious ministers and thieves, trying in vain to hold the Taifu hostage, and if you don't obediently tie your hands and arrest you!" ”
"Delusional!" Wu Ruoyu shouted, "Give it to me!" ”
Several minions fought with Yang Chuting and became entangled.
Yang Chuting's voice suddenly came: "Don't grind, take Taifu away!" ”
At this time, Yang Chuting was fighting with them, and the men brought by Wu Ruoyu rushed up. Xiao Feiqing pulled Yu Ruyan and was about to leave, but Yu Ruyan turned around and shouted: "General Yang!" ”
Xiao Feiqing pulled Yu Ruyan hard, and as soon as she rushed out of the broken temple, a sword stabbed at Yu Ruyan.
"Be careful!"
