Long Ziqi was halfway through his exile, and the escort took him to an inn for the night, and he found that the surrounding environment was very remote, and something seemed to be wrong, so he immediately became nervous, and secretly moved the dagger given to him by the imperial uncle to the palm of his hand.

"We're resting here?" Long Ziqi's tone carried a hint of doubt.

The escort looked at him contemptuously and said, "It's good to have a place to rest, although you used to be Your Majesty, but your current status is just a commoner, even worse than a commoner, so make do with it." ”

Long Ziqi saw him answer like this, he knew that his current identity was very embarrassing, and he didn't continue to ask, so he sat on the bench to rest at will, this is a secluded inn, the furnishings inside are also very simple, the tables and chairs look very shabby, he can't help but be vigilant, and always feel that there is something abnormal around.

The innkeeper looked very kind, and brought the food with a smile, Long Ziqi was already hungry in his belly, although these meals were not rich, but they were enough to have a full meal.

He picked up the dish two or three times and devoured it, Long Ziqi felt that the dish tasted good, he nodded and said, "Shopkeeper, your skills are really good." ”

In fact, compared to the delicacies in the palace before, where are these dishes considered to be delicious things, but where can he take care of so much at this time, for the current Long Ziqi, he feels that it is enough to eat and drink.

He ate happily, but when he was full of food and drink, he saw that the escorts did not seem to move their chopsticks, and he instantly felt that the situation was not good.

"How's it going, it tastes good, right?" They said so to him.

A chill surged in Long Ziqi's back, he regretted that he had eaten these meals, there must have been something added to these meals, he took out his dagger and wanted to resist, and those guards couldn't help laughing when they saw him make this move.

"What do you want to do?" He yelled at them.

The escorts said: "Of course we are sending you to Jiuquan, we can't help it, this is all the will of His Majesty today, he wants you to die, and we don't dare to let you live." ”

Long Ziqi only felt a faint pain in his abdomen, the poison seemed to be about to attack, he didn't expect them to do something to him here, he thought that he could at least live a little longer, but he didn't expect them to wait.

"I'm not going to die easily." He took out his dagger and brandished it at the escorts who gathered around.

The escorts were not panicked, Long Ziqi had already been poisoned, even if he had great ability, it would be difficult to rush out from here. They slowly drew their swords and approached him.

Long Ziqi's heart hung in his throat, he only felt that the vision in front of him began to blur, and the strength in his body gradually dissipated, he gritted his teeth, and with the last trace of consciousness of his lucidity, he found their weakest place and rushed out.

"Can't let him run, chase me." The escorts shouted at him as he fled.

Several people chased after Long Ziqi, he knew that he couldn't run far on his two legs at this time, he turned his head and saw the horses in the stable, he used his last strength to run over quickly, cut the rope on the horse with a dagger, and stepped onto the horse's back in one step.

The people behind followed, Long Ziqi lay on the horse's back weakly, and at the last moment when his vision was blurred, he seemed to see the faint figures of those people.

Shen Tianao received a letter from the escorts not long after, saying that Long Ziqi had been completely resolved, and also attached the ornaments on Long Ziqi's body, which was the talisman sachet that Long Yuying gave him at the time of parting.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting rid of the great trouble in your heart." The confidant father-in-law said on the side.

Shen Tianao looked at the sachet in his hand over and over again, with a smug look on his face, he said happily: "Long Ziqi is dead, the great trouble has been eliminated, keep an eye on Long Yuting, don't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace man replied respectfully to him.

Shen Tianao suddenly remembered another thing, and he said with a calm face: "Don't mention this matter to Gu Qingcheng." ”

He didn't know what the consequences would be after Gu Tingcheng knew about this matter, and she would definitely make trouble with him again, so instead of this, he would rather choose to let her not know, and he could hide it for a day.

The palace man replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the people around the princess and let them keep their mouths shut about her." ”

The news of Long Ziqi's death spread all over Liangdu, and it was announced that he died violently, but the court and the central government had their own explanations, but this matter was hidden from Gu Tingcheng, and she never knew the news of Long Ziqi's death.

Shen Tianao personally handed Long Ziqi's sachet to Long Yuying, and said to her: "Please mourn the princess, your brother is dead, listen to my orders in the future, so that you still have a place in the palace." ”

Long Yuying glared at him angrily with the sachet, and she said excitedly: "You must have killed my Ziqi, you butcher, you deserve to die." ”

"Princess, don't be so excited, it's not good to hurt your body." Shen Tianao said unhurriedly, "You see that I not only serve you, the princess of the previous dynasty, with good food and drink, but also eat and wear no worse than before, just for this kindness, you have to be grateful to me." ”

His words made Long Yuying angry, Long Ziqi's death was the one thing that hit her the hardest, she felt that her hope was gone, she leaned down and cried.

Shen Tianao glanced at her, shook his head and said to the palace people: "Comfort your princess, I don't want to see her like this again when I see her again." ”

Long Yuying cried for a long time before she stopped crying, she stood up, took out the sachet from her arms, and said to the palace maid who was once a confidant: "Send this to Gu Tingcheng, just say that Shen Tianao killed Long Ziqi, if she still has a little conscience, don't forget that the imperial uncle is good to her." ”

The palace maid put on some makeup, fortunately, she had an acquaintance in the palace, she entered the mansion through the back door, handed over the sachet to Gu Qingcheng in person, and said in a poignant voice: "Princess, this is the relic of the young master of my family, he has gone." ”

Gu Qingcheng took the sachet and looked at it, and then looked at the palace maid's sad expression, she said in disbelief: "How is it possible, how much time has passed, how could Long Ziqi die?" ”

The palace maid's voice choked and said, "This matter is absolutely true, Your Majesty just concealed the news of the young master's death from you. ”

When Gu Qingcheng heard this, he felt that this matter was like a bolt from the blue, if Shen Tianao deliberately concealed this matter from her, then it meant that he was ashamed in his heart, and he must have done something sorry for the royal family.

She looked at the sachet in her hand, raised her head and said to the palace maid, "What do you want me to do?" (To be continued.) )
