Xiao Qiyu really stopped, he withdrew a few Yinlin guards beside Mu Yansheng, and his blazing eyes only followed Mu Yanzhen all the way.

There were only a few steps left to finish the steps, Mu Yanzhen let go of Zixi's hand and said, "You go down quickly, I'll walk the next road by myself." “

Zixi wanted to stop it, but she still didn't say anything when she saw this look.

After walking up step by step, Mu Yan Zhenguo saw Xiao Qiyu looking directly at him, and there was not only anger in his eyes, but also disappointment and helplessness.

"Your Majesty. “

"What are you doing here?"

Mu Yanzhen knelt down beside Mu Yansheng and replied, "I want to implore Your Majesty to spare Lord Taiwei once, at least please forgive your life." “

"Why?"

"Because," Mu Yanzhen hesitated for a moment, "because the safety of Lord Taiwei is related to the rivers and mountains of the Northern Regions, if His Majesty is willing to forgive Lord Taiwei, he is protecting the people of the Northern Regions." “

Mu Yansheng also turned his head to look at this person when he heard this, he never expected this statement to come from Mu Yanzhen's mouth. I thought that most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were submissive to his shepherd, but when he finally lost power, the only one who was willing to ask for his life was the little concubine who had been bullied in the Muyan Mansion since he was a child.

"You're still not going to give up. “

Mu Yan really said: "Please Your Majesty's permission, even if it is to take back the military power and confine him and the Mu Yan clan." “

"I really want to save people, it turns out that it's just to humiliate me, Shepherd is true, your intentions are really vicious. “

When the young man heard this, he didn't defend himself, but he bowed his head to the ground and refused to get up.

"What if I don't say yes?"

"If I don't agree, I'm willing to die with Lord Taiwei. “

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, I am also a member of the Shepherd Family, and I should share the guilt with my clansmen. “

This trick again, Xiao Qiyu laughed angrily, "You are really a good dog who does not forget the Lord, you can't raise it well." “

"Your Majesty, you are closely related to the Muyan family, and the Muyan family really can't die. “

Xiao Qiyu waved his hand calmly and instructed the two Yinlin guards around him, "Drag this madman back to Daning Palace." “

"Your Majesty," Mu Yanzhen got up before the guards and walked quickly to the copper tripod, "If you must sacrifice heaven and earth, let me come, I am willing to take the blame for Lord Taiwei, so can you spare Lord Taiwei?"

"Mu Yan is really ......" Mu Yansheng, who was kneeling behind the young man, finally changed his expression, is this person really crazy? Not to mention the torture and humiliation that this person has suffered in the house since he was a child, his mother was beaten to death by Mu Yande, and the Mu Yan family is no different from a house slave to him, why does he want to protect him with his life like this?

"Okay," Xiao Qiyu responded indifferently: "You are willing to die for him, very good, but you are just a dog of the emperor, even if you want to die, you can only die for the emperor!" Before the words fell, Xiao Qiyu whipped and wrapped it around the young man's waist, and instantly pulled the person to himself, "Mu Yanzhen, this emperor can allow you to die, but he will never allow you to die for others, after so many years, don't you understand?"

Mu Yanzhen's breath was stagnant, so Mu Yansheng also understood.

"Mu Yanzhen, you don't have to work in vain, even if he promised me, Mu Yansheng will not accept it, if you want to save it, please save Ah Xue and Mu Yan and the other clansmen, I am arrogant and ignorant, it is not a pity to die, but they shouldn't. “

"Lord Tai Wei?"

"I pride myself on being a bit knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that in this life, I not only misjudged Your Majesty and Ah Xue, but also misjudged you. Grandpa has been dead for many years, and now my life can be compensated for you and your mother. The past regret is useless, but the next thing will be hard for you, Ah Xue treats you especially better than me, I hope you can practice today's words. “

"Lord Captain......"

"Brother, thank you so much for this life. “

"Big brother!"

In the exclamation of the ministers in the audience, Mu Yansheng actually rushed up and jumped into the fire tripod, and there were bursts of screams on the Luhua stage, and the pride and honor of his life were all shattered in this voice.

"Senior brother, how painful this fire hurts on your body, even if the Emperor of the Northern Regions is so angry that he wants to kill him, there is no need to use such a painful punishment. “

Zixi, who was sitting on the roof, hugged Ruan Feiyan's shoulders and said, "If Xiao Qiyu is the same as Feiyan thinks, he won't be able to be the king of the Northern Regions." “

"Isn't the king also an ordinary person?

"They're ordinary people, but there's always something different between people. “

"Then will he still kill Mu Yanzhen?" Ruan Feiyan said wistfully: "Actually, I think that although Mu Yanzhen is a bit stupid, he gets along very well, much better than everyone else in this palace, if Mu Yanzhen is really executed by this king today, isn't it because we hurt him?"

"We?"

"Anyway, this Taiwei is going to die left and right, it's the same whether he comes or not, we sent him here just to make their emperor unhappy, isn't it our fault?"

Zixi smiled gently and said, "I think what kind of road people in this world want to take and what kind of things they want to do are all out of themselves, no wonder others, maybe there is no other way for us Ah Zhen to come here tonight." Ah Zhen is not a person who gives up easily, as long as he has the heart, he will inevitably come. “

"That's right. Ruan Feiyan shrank his neck and nestled directly on Zixi's shoulder.

"Stand down. “

The ministers who heard this edict began to scatter, but only Gongsun Ling was still standing in place, looking like he was about to come to Luhuatai.

"King Ning, didn't you hear?

Gongsun Ling glanced at Mu Yanzhen on the stage, his expression was complicated, and it was difficult to figure out, but after being stunned for a while, he still walked towards the palace gate with everyone.

"Are you satisfied?" Xiao Qiyu clasped this person's shoulder with one hand and asked, "You obviously know how important tonight is to the emperor, do you have to watch the emperor sweep the floor to be happy?"

However, the young man seemed to have lost his soul, and he did not speak or move, but looked at the big ding in front of him with a blank gaze. He still failed in the end, although he had already guessed this result, but Mu Yan was still unwilling in his heart, why did he know that the country that this person was going to defend was about to die but was helpless, why did God let him see those pictures but didn't tell him the way to resolve them? Why? Why couldn't he save this person even after doing so much? It would be good if he didn't see anything, if he didn't know anything, he wouldn't have so much guilt! Suddenly, his throat surged, and the blood he vomited was hitting Xiao Qiyu's sleeve.

Compared with before, Xiao Qiyu was very calm this time, he looked at the blood stains on the sleeves of his robe indifferently, as if he was appreciating a unique pattern.

"I will leave the Muyan clan behind, and I will canonize Ah Xue as the queen, and I will not hurt their lives again, Ah Zhen, you won. “

The young man's consciousness was a little confused, and when he raised his head again, he had already been taken into his arms by this person, Xiao Qiyu held the back of his neck with one hand, and pulled his big with the other hand to wrap himself in it.

"But please don't die," Xiao Qiyu's fingers tightened, and Mu Yanzhen could feel the tremor in his throat at the moment, "Ah Zhen, don't die, don't leave me alone." “

"Your Majesty......"

"Ah Zhen, I only have you now, please. “

Hearing this person's choking, Mu Yanzhen actually mustered up his courage and raised his hand to wrap around Xiao Qiyu's back.

"Yes, Your Majesty, yes. “

"If you dare to break your word, I will kill all the shepherds, and I will make you die without turning a blind eye, and I will make it difficult for you to live in the Yellow Spring, and I will ...... Forcing you to turn into a ghost and entangle with me forever. “

A hint of surprise flashed on Mu Yanzhen's face, but then he laughed, Xiao Qiyu was still the same as before, and he could say some childish nonsense.

"Good. “

Xiao Qiyu, who received the answer, smiled brightly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, no matter whether it was useful or not, once he touched it, he would definitely not let go.

Now it's past midnight, but Xiao Qiyu still hasn't come back. Mu Yanxue sat alone in the Qionglin Palace, this happy room was very carefully and gorgeously decorated, but it looked too empty.

August, who was waiting on the side, said: "Niangniang, do you want to eat something first, now Your Majesty is feasting and drinking with the ministers in the Wenzheng Palace, I'm afraid it will be very late to come back." “

"No need. “

"Why don't you drink some tea first?"

When she took the teacup that this person was holding, Mu Yanxue asked lightly, "Is Ah Zhen at today's banquet?"

"The slave doesn't know, but I think Lord Shepherd should be there. “

"You ......" Mu Yanxue, who was about to speak, still closed her voice.

"If there is anything to the mother, please tell me, the slave and maid will do their best. “

"Can you help me go to Daning Palace and Wenzheng Palace?"

"Are you going to see Lord Shepherd?"

"Well," Mu Yanxue confided after holding it for so long: "I haven't seen Ah Zhen since the last time we went to Dongshi together, and I don't know how he's doing." “

"Lord Muyan is very good, don't worry about it. “

Mu Yanxue was suspicious: "So you've seen him?"

"Oh, what the slave means is that Lord Mu Yan is very favored by His Majesty, and must be living well, and how many people in the palace envy Lord Mu Yan's blessings. “

Mu Yanxue couldn't help but sneer, Xiao Qiyu couldn't be more clear about how Mu Yan really was in the past.

"Forget it, you go down and rest first. “

"Today is the slave and maid, how can there be a reason to rest. “

"Then you go down first. “

Mu Yan Xuelu was annoyed, this person was obviously sent by Xiao Qiyu to spy on her, before the eight generals did everything possible to trap themselves in the Yuhui Palace, and they must have listened to Xiao Qiyu's will, it seems that the assassination in the East Market still made Xiao Qiyu wary of her. Mu Yanxue grabbed the sachet in her sleeve, which was the powder of the flounder fruit, if it was placed on the bedside later, it would have the effect of inducing lust, but she was still hesitant, whether to use this thing or not.

"Niangniang," August suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty has arrived." “

"Your Majesty!"

Mu Yanxue hurriedly covered her head, and in a hurry, she poured the tea at hand on the sachet, so that the powder was useless.

When she noticed the footsteps, she sat upright on the bed, but she waited for a long time and no one made a sound.

"Your Majesty, are you still there?"

"I'm here. “

"Then why don't you come here to remove the hijab, I've been waiting here alone for so long and I'm still suffocating to death, does Your Majesty want Ah Xue to uncover it himself?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the hijab on her head was lifted at once, and Mu Yanxue was still full of joy, but Xiao Qiyu's expression was cold, and she was not wearing a happy clothes.
