Finale (Part II)

Finale (Part II)

The prince came to see Li Weiyang, and Zhao Yue told her: "Miss is in the study, please let Miss Wang in." ”

Wang Zijin walked into the study, Li Weiyang was sitting quietly behind the desk, holding a book and looking at it, looking focused, as if he didn't notice Wang Zijin's arrival, after Zhao Yue withdrew, there were only two people left in the study, Wang Zijin and Li Weiyang.

The prince looked at each other, but Li Weiyang still didn't speak, so she turned her head to look to the side, this study is not very big, but it is very elegant, every piece on the antique shelf is a diluted treasure, most of the ubiquitous books have yellowed pages, and the side pages are rolled up, which can be seen that Li Weiyang has a wide range of interests. He only heard a page of the book gently turn in his ears, and the prince couldn't help but wonder, why did the other party pretend to know nothing when he had heard his footsteps coming in? Could it be that he did something wrong and angered Guo Jia again.

The prince thought for a while, and decided to continue to be patient, she took the initiative to move an embroidered stool to sit in the study, and waited quietly for Li Weiyang, which was more than an hour. And in this more than an hour, Wang Zijin could see that Li Weiyang was not deliberately snubbing her, the other party's expression was very serious, every time he opened a book, he didn't look away, and even wrote down his comments carefully.

Time passed little by little, until the sun slowly set in the west and the light in the entire study dimmed, Li Weiyang closed the page and stood up.

"Zijin?" Li Weiyang smiled: "How long have you been here, I haven't seen it, it's really rude." ”

Wang Zijin smiled, at this time the sunset outside the study happened to fall on Li Weiyang's body, her face was as crystal clear, her hair like a cloud was carefully and skillfully pulled up, her skin was better than ice and snow, but her face was plain and not stained with powder.

"Zijin, what are you thinking?"

Wang Zijin smiled: "I was thinking about what book you are reading, why are you so serious?" ”

Li Weiyang handed the book he had just read to Wang Zijin, and Wang Zijin took a look at it lightly, the name of the book was Qiluo, which was a unique book left by the previous dynasty. She smiled faintly: "I didn't expect Jia'er to be quite interested in governing the country. When she said this, there was some subtle temptation.

Li Weiyang smiled, his expression was as calm as water: "Every book here was sent by my father and fifth brother, and they all have their own uses, so I am willing to read them." ”

Wang Zijin pointed to the hairpin next to the book, and smiled: "Not only did you take a look, but also made a serious annotation!" ”

Li Weiyang just pulled the book out of her hand and put it on the bookcase casually, and her tone was very peaceful: "I have long developed such an old habit of reading books, and I can't change it." Zijin came here today, but what's the matter? ”

Wang Zijin put away his suspicion and smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't seen you recently, so I came to visit." ”

Li Weiyang seemed to be smiling, looked at the prince and said, "Is the marriage between the Wang family and His Royal Highness King Jing decided?" ”

Wang Zijin looked at Li Weiyang and said in surprise: "Marriage, what marriage?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at Wang Zijin fixedly, and didn't speak for a while, she wanted to know if Wang Zijin deliberately pretended not to know, or really didn't know. Li Weiyang's expression made Wang Zijin frown deeply: "Jia'er, what do you want to say?" ”

Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "It seems that Zijin doesn't want to be honest with me." ”

Wang Zijin's smile gradually disappeared, she looked at Li Weiyang and said: "Jia'er, I may have something to hide from you, but I still know the priority, the Wang family can't hide such a big thing as marrying King Jing no matter what, so why should I be a villain in vain?" ”

Li Weiyang's expression moved slightly: "So, the general Wang Gong has been hiding it from you." ”

Wang Zijin's expression changed suddenly, she stepped forward, grabbed Li Weiyang's hand and said, "Where did you get this news, but is it true?" ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "I think it's true." ”

The blood on the prince's face suddenly receded, she turned around suddenly, walked a few hurried steps in the study, and suddenly stopped, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of disbelief: "No, I don't believe it! My father and uncle would never trade me, and I had no idea about it. ”

Li Weiyang smiled, "I thought you were deliberately pretending not to know, but now it seems that even you have been kept in the dark, and the general is really afraid to be underestimated, so he arranged it quietly." ”

The prince slowly sat down on the embroidery stool, and her expression became extremely lonely.

Li Weiyang didn't bother the other party, she could see that Wang Zijin was at war with heaven and man in her heart, she didn't know what it was like to be betrayed by her family, she only knew that the other party must be very sad now.

Li Weiyang turned his head and whispered to Zhao Yue: "Go and make a cup of tea for Miss Wang." ”

It wasn't until he took a sip of the hot tea that he felt that his stiff body had regained a slight heat. She shook her head and said, "I really didn't think that even my closest relatives would trade me, I thought ......"

Before she finished her words, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "You thought that if you worked hard to become a person who was beneficial to the family, you wouldn't be sacrificed so quickly, didn't you?" ”

Wang Zijin wanted to refute but had nothing to say, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Uncle Uncle, they obviously promised me that they would not trade my marriage." ”

Li Weiyang snorted: "So I really want to know what kind of promise King Jing made this time, which made the general also moved......"

The prince sat on the embroidery bench for a long time, until the teacup in his hand was cold, and the sky outside was already dark. Zhao Yue came in and lit a candle, and then quietly retreated. Wang Zijin's face was pale under the candlelight, and his body trembled, obviously suffering a great blow. When she finally came to her senses, she said to Li Weiyang: "Jia'er, I should go." With that, she stood up and was about to walk out. Li Weiyang suddenly said: "What are your plans?"

Wang Zijin turned his head and looked at Li Weiyang: "No matter what, I won't marry King Jing." ”

Li Weiyang suddenly laughed.

Wang Zijin looked at her and said, "You don't believe it? ”

Li Weiyang shook his head slightly: "I just think it's weird." ”

"What's strange?"

Li Weiyang said softly: "In my impression, the prince Jin Qing is proud of himself, his eyes are dustless, and the one who can match you must be an excellent man in the world. Now if you retreat to the next best, His Royal Highness King Jing is also a good choice. If King Jing can ascend the throne smoothly, if he can fulfill his promise to the Wang family, then you will be the mother of a country, and what a temptation it is to be the mother of the world! Zijin, can you refuse such a temptation? ”

The prince changed color unconsciously: "Jia'er, we have been dating for a long time, is that how you see me?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Weiyang's mouth: "I'm not deliberately testing you, I'm just saying a few words of truth for the sake of my friends, if you don't want to listen, then I won't say it." ”

Li Weiyang's words moved Wang Zijin slightly, she closed the door with her backhand, and said solemnly: "Jia'er, I only said it once, you listen carefully." ”

Li Weiyang raised her eyes and looked at each other quietly, her eyes sparkled in the candlelight, making people's hearts tremble. Wang Zijin just said with a serious look in his eyes: "I like your fifth brother Guo Dao, I want to marry him as a wife." ”

Li Weiyang was stunned, the prince was scheming, his methods were quite cunning, he was definitely not such a frank person, but today she actually said such heartfelt words, which made Li Weiyang a little stunned for a while.

Seeing Li Weiyang's stunned appearance, Wang Zijin smiled and said, "Since I was born, I have been destined to dedicate my life to the Wang family. Her finger pointed to the part of her heart, "The people of the Wang family have a qiΔ“, but I always feel that I am missing something, and now I understand that I am missing a lover's heart." After meeting Director Guo, I always raised the bar with him, but gradually I found that my eyes always followed him. And today, when you sued me about my marriage to King Jing, I suddenly realized that I had already liked your fifth brother in my heart, and I would never like anyone else, let alone marry His Royal Highness King Jing for the benefit of the family. ”

Li Weiyang always thought that anyone in the world could say such a thing, but Wang Zijin couldn't, because the other party was as calm and ruthless as himself. She never imagined that Wang Zijin would really say it, saying it so frankly and so unabashedly. Why would such an excellent woman as she favor the fifth brother so much......

Li Weiyang's smile narrowed slightly, she looked at the other party, and said in a soft voice: "Zijin, you should know that if His Royal Highness King Jing has to marry you, I'm afraid even General Wang can't refuse." ”

I'm afraid that on the one hand, Wang Yuanying of Jing will show that he is not interested in Wang Zijin in front of the Duke of Qi, but he turned his back and made a deal with the Wang family, otherwise why would those neutral officials of the Wang family support King Jing in front of the emperor?

Wang Zijin sneered and said: "Jia'er, to tell the truth, the person King Jing really wants to marry is you, the reason why he suddenly changed his mind is just to ascend to the throne, and I am just a stepping stone for him." But my prince will never be willing to be a stepping stone for others, let alone give him the opportunity to kick me to marry someone else after he succeeds. The most important thing is that I don't like him, and I can ignore his proposals. ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Maybe today is the first day I met you." She paused, and suddenly thought that Wang Zijin had been looking forward to herself for all these days, and even came to ask her opinion on everything, could it be ......

Seeing Li Weiyang's expression, Wang Zijin's face couldn't help but blush slightly. She said softly: "The fifth prince has always liked you very much, if I can please you and marry in the future, won't I be able to get along in harmony?" ”

Li Weiyang laughed, she didn't expect Wang Zijin to have this distraction, and she didn't hesitate to please herself in front of Director Guo in every way, she just hoped that the other party would love the house and Wu, which was simply too different from the other party's personality. The prince greeted him, his eyes were shining, and he gently held Li Weiyang's hand and said, "Jia'er, I know whose heart your fifth brother is." ”

Li Weiyang frowned slightly, but Wang Zijin smiled and patted her hand and said, "But I am confident, one day he will fall in love with me, so I will definitely wait seriously." As for King Jing, he can marry whoever he likes, even if my eldest uncle agrees to this marriage, then he will marry himself. Princess Ali has the courage to abandon a qiΔ“ to come to Dadu for love, and I can naturally do the same for your fifth brother. You just need to know that my beloved is him, so I won't harm you, and that's enough. With that, she turned and was about to leave.

Li Weiyang suddenly stopped him: "Zijin, have you ever thought about the consequences of refusing this marriage?" ”

Wang Zijin didn't look back, but his voice came faintly: "I naturally know, and I am willing to bear it." ”

Li Weiyang watched Wang Zijin leave, slowly sat back on the chair, Zhao Yue came in with tea, saw Li Weiyang's expression indifferent, didn't know what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say: "Miss, who are you?" ”

Li Weiyang slowly raised his head, looked at Zhao Yue but smiled lightly: "Sometimes I really doubt that I really see people so accurately. ”

Zhao Yue heard Li Weiyang say something strange, and said, "Is Miss talking about Miss Wang?" ”

Li Weiyang took a deep breath: "I thought she was a very proud woman, but this kind of woman would not be willing to stay by the fifth brother's side, but seeing her so brave, I felt that I had misjudged her in the past." ”

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "The slave also thinks that Miss Wang is different from before. ”

Li Weiyang's narrow and beautiful eyes weakened slightly: "She is strong in everything and never refuses to bow to others, but she has listened to me in everything recently, which shows that she really wants to please the fifth brother." But my fifth brother knows but doesn't understand the amorous feelings, which is really worrying for him. ”

Before Li Weiyang's words fell, there was a humane outside the window: "Why are you anxious for me?" Where did I provoke you again? ”

As soon as the words fell, Director Guo had already walked in. He was dressed in a silver-white robe, handsome and radiant, Li Weiyang looked at each other, but smiled: "You like to hide outside the window and listen to the foot of the wall every time, and you don't let people find out...... But as soon as the man walked on the front foot, you came on the back foot, but you really have a good heart. ”

Director Guo was stunned for a moment, and his smile froze on his face: "You mean Wang Zijin?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at the other party, and his smile was slightly narrow: "You don't know everything, why are you still pretending to be confused?"

Director Guo's expression fell silent: "How could Miss Wang take a fancy to me being so crippled?" β€œ

Li Weiyang frowned, "Fifth brother, why are you talking about yourself like this?" β€œ

Director Guo shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I'm not looking down on myself, it's just that Miss Wang is not a good match for me." I'm afraid I'll have to let her down. β€œ

Li Weiyang sank his face and said: "I don't believe you really don't understand Zijin's mind at all, you can see her changes in your eyes, why do you turn a blind eye to her all kinds of goodwill?" She raises the bar with you and opposes you all because she likes you, don't you really know? β€œ

Director Guo slowly sat down on the chair, and his voice came from afar, with a hint of coldness: "Of course I know, but so what? A woman like her will soar to the sky one day! β€œ

Li Weiyang was silent for a long time, and said, "Then I'll make a bet with you, Fifth Brother." β€œ

Director Guo looked surprised: "Bet, what bet?" β€œ

Li Weiyang raised his eyes and looked at him sincerely and said, "I bet that Wang Zijin will give up a qiΔ“ for you, and the last person to accompany you must be her." β€œ

Because Wang Zijin has determination, perseverance, and ...... Have the courage to go out. At this point, even Li Weiyang is ashamed of himself.

Director Guo looked at Li Weiyang in surprise, he didn't know where the other party's confidence came from, in his opinion, Wang Zijin was just a woman who was too delicate and tall, and the best man in the world could match her. Such as King Xu, King Jing and the like, and Director Guo is just a waste who can't hold a sword for the rest of his life, how can he match the daughter of the Wang family? It's just that he didn't refute to Li Weiyang, he just smiled faintly: "Then you will definitely lose this bet." β€œ

Li Weiyang smiled: "Let's wait and see." β€œ

On the second day, Li Weiyang went to the palace again and had a long conversation with Wang Zijin in the study for two hours. Coming out of Wang's house, she took a deep breath of fresh air, and suddenly smiled, now she is 100% sure that Wang Zijin really likes Director Guo, and she is absolutely unwilling to marry King Jing, so King Jing's wishful thinking will not work. Wang Zijin is the head of the Wang family, as long as she is resolutely opposed, General Wang must also take into account her wishes.

She was just about to get into the carriage, when she suddenly saw a man standing in the crowd not far away, quietly looking at her, the man was wearing a black felt robe, and even his head and face were covered. Li Weiyang looked at the other party coldly, the man obviously noticed Li Weiyang's eyes, and suddenly quickened his pace and ran.

Li Weiyang looked at the back, it seemed to be a person who made her feel very familiar, and immediately turned his head to Zhao Yue and said, "Catch up!" β€œ

The carriage followed the man in hot pursuit, and finally bypassed the crowd and came to the mouth of an empty alley. "Stop!" Li Weiyang said coldly. The man was stunned when he saw a dead end in front of him, and then slowly turned his head and untied the black robe on his body, revealing a delicate face. "Miss Li, I didn't expect us to meet here." "I can't think of it either." After a brief period of consternation, Li Weiyang's voice was indifferent: "Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Great Calendar would come to the capital of Yuexi, you are really bold!" β€œ

Wan Ting didn't think it was wrong, but laughed: "For the sake of my beloved husband, it's worth it." She said aloud.

Li Weiyang frowned slightly: "You came to Dadu for Tuoba Jade?" β€œ

Wan Ting nodded, and her expression suddenly became lonely: "Li Weiyang, do you know what my husband has done for you?" β€œ

Li Weiyang said indifferently: "What did he do, and what does it have to do with me?" β€œ

Wan Ting's face sank, she looked at Li Weiyang, and couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes: "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!" β€œ

Li Weiyang smiled, the current county lord of Huanting was no longer the friend who helped her back then. Wan Ting's eyes were full of jealousy and endless worries.

Li Weiyang sneered: "Queen Mother, this is the capital of the enemy country, I advise you to leave as soon as possible." β€œ

Wan Ting suddenly took a step back, but said loudly: "No, I'm not leaving!" β€œ

Li Weiyang looked at her: "You can't change anything if you go or not, can you turn the whole situation around with one person's strength?" β€œ

Wan Ting bit her lip and looked back at her, as if she didn't want to back down: "Do you know that he did not hesitate to start this war for your sake, and for your sake he even imprisoned me, the queen, and asked someone to escort me back to China." If I hadn't escaped halfway, I'm afraid I would have been imprisoned in the cold palace now, what is the point of such a queen? It's better to come here, risk your life to see you, and ask for clarification! β€œ

Li Weiyang saw the other party's heart-wrenching appearance, so he said, "What do you want to ask?" β€œ

Wan Ting said seriously: "I want to ask what kind of soup you made to him, why did he miss you?" β€œ

Li Weiyang suddenly laughed, she looked at Huan Ting and said: "Everyone in this world has a problem, they always remember what they can't get, and once they get it, they don't cherish it, if you and I are in different positions, maybe he will start this war." Don't be so stupid, he's a man, he's an emperor, he knows what he's doing. Empress Pei must have agreed to him enough to raise troops before he did this, not just for a woman. β€œ

The views of men and women are different, in Wan Ting's opinion, the ten cities are nothing at all, she firmly believes that Tuoba Yu will do this just to get Li Weiyang, so when she heard Li Weiyang's calm analysis and judgment, she didn't believe it at all, but said coldly: "Li Weiyang, you have to go back with me to see him." β€œ

Li Wei looked incredulous, and then suddenly showed a mocking smile, and said, "What are you laughing at?" β€œ

Li Weiyang said slowly: "I'm laughing at a ridiculous person." β€œ

The other party's categorical cut seemed to sting her eyes, and Wan Ting couldn't help but say, "Where am I ridiculous?" β€œ

Li Weiyang said quietly: "Wan Ting, when I return to his side, is there still a place for you?" β€œ

Wan Ting pulled a ridiculous expression on her face, her eyebrows raised, like laughing and crying: "Even if I don't have a foothold, I can't watch him go crazy for you so much." β€œ

Li Weiyang's eyes were like a thousand pins: "No, it's his demons that make him crazy, not me." β€œ

Wan Ting said: "You really don't want to go with me?" You are only the daughter of a courtier here, but once you go back with me, I can assure you that no matter what position you want, even if it is me, the queen, you can give it to you! β€œ

Li Weiyang looked at Huanting, and there was gradually a trace of disbelief in her eyes, Huanting really risked her life to love Tuoba Yu, what the innocent and romantic girl said in the past is vivid, Li Weiyang felt that the other party was not sensible at all, but now it seems that Huanting is as deep as the sea...... What kind of woman can let her beloved man out, and even be willing to take a risk to run to the enemy country just to invite her rival back? It's a pity that it is impossible for her to return to Tuoba Yu, so she can only categorically refuse. "I'm sorry Wan Ting, although I used to treat you as a friend, but one thing is one thing, I won't go back with you, and I won't become Tuoba Yu's concubine, so I can only let you come for nothing." After speaking, Li Weiyang waved his hand and motioned to the coachman to turn the head of the car. "Li Weiyang, you stop!" Wan Ting said coldly.

Li Weiyang frowned slightly: "I've already finished what I should say, I won't go to the Great Calendar with you, please go back." "Then I'll have to be rude to you." Wan Ting said coldly.

Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slowly: "Yes, it seems that you came prepared, I didn't expect that the kind and lively Huanting in the past would become like this." "I can't think of it either." Wan Ting's eyes were sharp, "I didn't expect Weiyang's heart to be colder than I imagined, it was extremely cold!" β€œ

Li Weiyang was not angry, but chuckled: "Do you think you can keep me?" β€œ

Wan Ting gritted her teeth and smiled: "I can't, but someone can do it." As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared behind Wan Ting. After seeing that person clearly, Li Weiyang condensed his eyes: "It turned out to be Lord Win-Huanting, do you know who you are dealing with?" β€œ

Wan Ting raised her head and said, "Of course I know!" Lord Win, I hope you can abide by the agreement and hand over Li Weiyang to me! β€œ

Ying Chu shook his head, smiled and patted Wan Ting's shoulder: "Thank you, if you hadn't deliberately shown your face to attract her, she wouldn't have been so easily fooled." β€œ

Wan Ting's face changed: "Didn't you say-"

Ying Chu waved his hand, and two black-clothed people flashed next to him, one on the left and one on the right, and Wan Ting changed color.

Li Weiyang sighed: "I told you a long time ago that it is a very dangerous thing to seek skin with a tiger. β€œ

Wan Ting was horrified and finally came to her senses, but unfortunately it was too late, and the man in black covered her mouth and nose and dragged her down.

A few feet in front of Li Weiyang's eyes, Ying Chu was standing there quietly.

At such a close distance, Li Weiyang found that Ying Chu's face was a little strange, he was at least thirty or forty years old, but half of his face was still like a young man with a weak crown. There may be people in this world who have good looks, such as the stunning Empress Pei, but there will never be anyone who has never aged at all, unless it is a monster, Li Weiyang's heart was cold.

Ying Chu just smiled, "Li Weiyang, if you hadn't asked Huanting to lead you out, you wouldn't have come, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." "What do you want to do?" Li Weiyang got out of the carriage and stood calmly: "You think you can kill me?" "Of course not, I know that you are born with a phoenix, and no one can change that. If I want your life, it will be against heaven, and I will be punished in the future, which is why I have been standing still. "Ridiculous......" Li Weiyang said coldly.

Ying Chu seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "I also think it's ridiculous, why a person like you has the same phoenix as Huaizhen, it's just unbelievable." I don't know why, but your life has been strangely reversed and has become unpredictable...... This may be the reason why you kill too many people and are too angry. β€œ

Li Weiyang knew very well that if she married Tuoba Zhen according to the process of her previous life, her life would follow what Ying Chu said, but she reversed her fate, and of course this life character also changed......

Ying Chu flicked his fingers, and a cyan flame rose from his palm, flying in front of Li Weiyang's eyes, and his tone was extremely indifferent: "When you continue to suffer from it, even if it is against the sky, I have to protect the people I want to protect, so ...... All I can say to you is that I can't help it. β€œ

Zhao Yue stared at the other party vigilantly, and with a soft whistle in his mouth, several black figures appeared around him, quietly surrounding Ying Chu, but the other party just smiled slightly, clapped his palms, and bursts of smoke dispersed at the moment when the flames took off, and these black figures shook and turned out to be all prostrate on the ground, unable to move one by one, and instantly lost consciousness.

Li Weiyang's face changed slightly: "It turns out that Lord Win has been prepared for a long time. β€œ

Ying Chu smiled lightly: "People who don't know martial arts have nothing to do when they touch this smoke, and the more masters they are, the more unbearable they are, unless they take the antidote in advance...... I know that these dead soldiers sent by King Xu are all powerful characters, so I have to prepare for everything first. You are a very smart woman, even I can't do it, but it's a pity that no matter how smart you are, you're just an ordinary person - Zhao Yue! β€œ

Zhao Yue silently pulled out the long sword from his waist, Li Weiyang changed color slightly when he heard him say that he had taken the antidote in advance, and when he saw this scene, he only felt that the blood all over his body suddenly became cold.

Ying Chu sighed: "You may not have thought that the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family have already been accused by me." From the very beginning, the most trusted handmaid by your side was my person, and I also tried my best to send their brother and sister to you, watching your every move at all times! "So this qiΔ“ is all your conspiracy?" Li Weiyang whispered, "Zhao Yue has been standing still for so long, just to give me a heavy blow at this critical moment?" β€œ

An unfathomable smile appeared at the corner of Ying Chu's mouth.

Li Weiyang understood that if Zhao Yue had been secretly delivering news to Ying Chu, it would be impossible for him to be unaware, the most important thing was that the other party had been lurking by his side, never helped Ying Chu, and had never been in contact with anyone, so such a spy would play a key role at the most important time. She has always been suspicious, and after a long time, she will naturally relax her vigilance against Zhao Yue, especially when the other party accompanied her all the way to Yuexi, and even worked hard to protect her...... "Zhao Yue, kill her!" β€œ

Zhao Yue's eyes were deep and her movements were fast, but her long sword was not aimed at Li Weiyang but at Ying Chu, who was caught off guard in a hurry, and was actually bullied by her and stabbed a sword, and the blood flowed immediately. "Zhao Yue, are you crazy?" Ying Chu shouted angrily, "Don't you know who your master is?" "I'm sorry!" Zhao Yue said loudly, "My master...... It's Li Weiyang! β€œ

This scene happened suddenly, Ying Chu's ban was also lifted in an instant, the smoke disappeared without a trace, and the originally fallen guards all stood up, they glanced at each other, and pounced on Ying Chu together, Ying Chu's sleeves flicked, Zhao Yue and the other guards were shocked by the surging wind and staggered back. Ying Chu let out a long roar, a long sword appeared in his sleeve, and several guards fell during the swing, and three people were beheaded by a sword, blood splattered, and the originally silent alley became a bloody slaughterhouse. Ying Chu forced Zhao Yue to retreat with a sword, and in an instant he was already in front of Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang couldn't retreat, the opponent's long sword had already been cut off on the head, Zhao Yue did not hesitate to risk his life and pounced, blocking in front of Li Weiyang at once, the long sword cut through her back and cut Li Weiyang's arm downward.

Zhao Yue fell softly, and those guards had already pounced quickly, and Ying Chu was about to kill them one by one, but suddenly covered his mouth with his sleeve, coughing nonstop, and in an instant, red blood had oozed from his cuffs, and he was obviously injured just now. Li Weiyang was slightly surprised, and when Ying Chu saw that he couldn't succeed anymore, he sneered and retreated in a hurry.

Zhao Yue was hugged by Li Weiyang in a daze, as if she didn't realize what was going on, but tears flowed on her face, Li Weiyang sighed softly, and said to the guard: "Go back." β€œ

Back in front of Guo's mansion, the wounds on Zhao Yue's body were still bleeding, and the tears on her face were very blurred. Li Weiyang said lightly: "After I go back, I don't have to say anything." β€œ

Zhao Yue understood, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes: "Miss, are you willing to forgive me?" β€œ

Li Weiyang looked at her wound and sighed in his voice: "Everyone has their own position, I'm very happy that you can stop it in time." It's just your big brother......"

Zhao Yue gritted her teeth: "I will immediately find a way to inform the master." β€œ

Li Weiyang shook his head slightly: "I want to ...... I'm afraid it's too late. β€œ

Zhao Yue was taken aback, and a panicked look appeared on her face: "Miss......"

Li Weiyang looked at her and said lightly: "You betrayed my mother's mansion in the first place, did you do it?" β€œ

Zhao Yue lowered her head, and her voice became even more guilty: "No...... No, the secret that the young lady did was not known to the eldest brother. And Lord Win has always just asked the slave maid to follow the young lady, and did not let the slave maid interfere in these things. β€œ

Li Weiyang exhaled softly: "This matter will rot in my stomach from now on, and I will never mention it again." "Li Weiyang ......"

In the dream, the call was far away and sometimes near, looming. The voices shook Li Weiyang's heart, and he inexplicably felt that his body became more and more cold with the call. "Li Weiyang ......"

The voice became clear. Li Weiyang's eyes widened and he saw a person sitting quietly at the head of the bed.

He was smiling, and his face should have been very handsome, but his face was scarred and ruined, ruining the familiar face.

Tuoba Zhen, she will never forget this face. "What, do you think you got rid of me?" Tuoba Zhen smiled, an extremely peculiar smile appeared on that hideous face, but his voice was long, "I'm waiting for you to come, one day you will come!" In fact, you haven't forgotten me, haven't you, even if you dream back at midnight...... I often see my face too. His black hair suddenly rose, the eyebrows on that face were raised, and his eyes were misty, if it weren't for a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, no one would doubt all the secrets and scheming hidden behind this face. No, I'm getting rid of you, you've already lost. Li Weiyang suddenly got up, pulled out the dagger under the pillow with his right hand, and in the flash of cold light, the dagger pierced deeply into the opponent's chest.

The hand was extremely ruthless, straight into the chest, blood gushing, plain white hands were full of bright red, between the cold touch of the dagger and the warm handover of blood, Li Weiyang only felt that his body trembled, and the hatred in his heart was crazy. She got rid of the past, she got rid of it!

Tuoba Zhen lowered his head, a few strands of hair hanging down in front of him, and his still pale face maintained an excited and even crazy look. "You can't get rid of me in your life, even if you marry someone else, even if you start over, you're just lying to yourself, lying to yourself!"

The ghost laughed wildly, and Li Weiyang woke up!

The sun shone through the room, the tents were stacked on top of each other, and the scent of the incense burner made it impossible for her to tell where she was. The lotus root lifted the curtain: "Miss, are you awake?" β€œ

Li Weiyang subconsciously touched his forehead, only to feel a little stuffy, and said, "What time is it?" β€œ

Lotus Root looked at Li Weiyang's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "It's already hour, the slave maid originally wanted to wake up the young lady, but the lady came to see it and said that the young lady has been too tired recently, so the slave and the maid don't have to wake you up." β€œ

It was past the time for breakfast, and I slept so deeply. Li Weiyang frowned, this was something that had never happened before. The lotus root stretched out her hand, but Li Weiyang suddenly said coldly: "What are you doing?!" β€œ

The lotus root was startled, and the Jinpa in her hand froze in mid-air: "Miss, slave maid...... The slave just wants to wipe your sweat for you. β€œ

Li Weiyang shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to sober up a little: "I'm fine." β€œ

Lotus Root cautiously glanced at Li Weiyang's expression, only to feel that something was wrong with her, her eyes drooped subconsciously, and she couldn't help whispering: "Miss, the slave maid will change the medicine for you." β€œ

Yesterday, Li Weiyang's carriage was attacked, which frightened Mrs. Guo, although Zhao Yue desperately defended the master, Li Weiyang was still slightly injured, leaving scars on his arms. Li Weiyang glanced at the lotus root and said lightly: "No need." With that, he went straight out of bed.

Lotus Root said again: "Madame, the eldest young lady, and the fifth young master, they have all sent people to greet them. The slave and maid returned to their master, and they were not awake, and they were not alarmed. They all said that it was okay, when the young lady got up, please go to the hall again. β€œ

Li Weiyang looked at herself in the bronze mirror, only felt that the blood in her chest was surging violently, but she didn't know what the reason was, she forcibly pressed it down with a sip of tea, and she said indifferently: "I know, you can go." β€œ

Lotus Root looked at Li Weiyang's expression, and felt more and more that she was very strange today, her kind face in the past seemed to be frozen into frost, and she didn't dare to say anything in her heart, so she quietly retreated.

In the hall, Wang Zijin had arrived, Director Guo was talking with her, and when she saw Li Weiyang coming, Princess Ali was the first to stand up and say, "Jia'er, are you feeling better?" "I'm fine." Li Weiyang said lightly and sat down on the side.

Wang Zijin said with concern: "Jia'er, I have hired a doctor who specializes in treating external injuries, and there will definitely be no scars in the future." β€œ

Li Weiyang glanced at her indifferently and said, "No need." β€œ

Wang Zijin was taken aback, she had never seen Li Weiyang show such a cold expression. Li Weiyang always has a smile on her face, but today her expression is so indifferent, as if there is no trace of emotion.

Director Guo saw that something was wrong, and said, "Jia'er, what is wrong with you, why is your face not good-looking?" β€œ

Li Weiyang only felt a splitting headache, and when he heard this sentence suddenly, he couldn't help frowning even tighter: "I said, I'm fine!" Ali stepped forward with concern and wanted to grab Li Weiyang, but Li Weiyang pushed her away like an electric shock, and Princess Ali was dumbfounded: "Jia'er, what's wrong with you?" β€œ

Li Weiyang only felt the burning pain in the place where Princess Ali touched just now, she gritted her teeth and shook her head: "It's okay." β€œ

Director Guo hurriedly said: "The prince is about to leave today, since you are not feeling well, go and rest first." β€œ

Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to take a look." β€œ

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Wang Zijin softly admonished: "What can be more important than your body? You're stillβ€”" "I've already said I'm going to go!" Li Weiyang's voice was like quenching ice, and Wang Zijin couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Weiyang realized that she was wrong, her expression softened slightly, and she said apologetically: "I'm just a little unwell, I'm sorry, I'll leave first." β€œ

Watching Li Weiyang turn around and leave, Wang Zijin glanced back at Director Guo and Princess Ali, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with her?" β€œ

Director Guo was also distracted, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and then smiled: "Maybe I'm not in a good mood." But the smile on his face was gone, Li Weiyang was very good at controlling his feelings, and he had never been so irritable, and just now her appearance seemed to be unable to control herself at all......

It's just so unlike her! What's going on!

The Guo and Chen families did not react much to the prince's personal conquest, on the contrary, Empress Pei's vassals began to build momentum for the army, and before they could even pull out, they seemed to be able to foresee the triumph of victory.

The carriage of the Guo family went all the way to the outside of the city, and dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and thunder was heard from time to time. Li Weiyang opened the curtain of the car and saw the prince standing in the crowd from a distance, and the other people who came to see him off could only stand not far away, and at this time, big drops of rain fell, and Li Weiyang's gaze passed through the chaotic crowd and fell on a black-robed man not far ahead.

It's Winchu!

He surveyed the team majestically in front of him and smiled calmly. "He's coming, too!" Li Weiyang stared at each other with a cold gaze.

I saw Ying Chu raising his left hand to the sky with a majestic expression. In the blink of an eye, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly rolled and dispersed, the rain disappeared, and the sun reappeared smiling behind the clouds.

Everyone watched in amazement. Lotus Root couldn't help but speak: "Miss, this person is really powerful!" β€œ

Li Weiyang sneered: "Magical powers? It's just a matter of counting the hour. A god stick should have died a long time ago! β€œ

The lotus root was stunned by the murderous aura that suddenly came out of the other party's tone, and looked at Li Weiyang in surprise, but when she saw her, her expression became more and more gloomy, her face became very pale, and her lips were even more bloodless.

Ying Chu's face was calm, not showing any arrogance, and he said loudly: "God bless, the dark clouds are gone, this trip will definitely be victorious!" Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! β€œ

The army continued to move forward, there were many people on both sides of the official road to watch the excitement, Prince Yongwen who walked in the team was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, that handsome and heroic appearance really attracted the admiring eyes of many women, he himself rode on a horse, smiling, but thinking about all kinds of things that happened some time ago in his mind, and gradually felt that something was wrong, but now he can only continue to move forward and can not regret it, thinking of Pei Houlin's various deployments before departure, he regained his confidence.

Guo's carriage had already returned to the door of the Qi State Mansion, and Director Guo was the first to greet him, and said with a smile: "Jia'er, King Xu is about to return to Dadu!" β€œ

Li Weiyang just got out of the carriage, but he was shocked, and just about to say something, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, Director Guo's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went up to catch Li Weiyang, and said angrily: "Lotus root, what's going on!" β€œ

Before the lotus root had time to defend herself, Li Weiyang had already passed out in a coma, and Director Guo hugged her with an extremely ugly face, and said loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and ask for a doctor!" β€œ

Ying Chu just sent the prince back to his residence, he did not buy a house, but has been living in the palace, Empress Pei specially issued a decree to reward a single-door courtyard, the whole courtyard does not see a delicate flower, but there are a few trees, one of which requires several people to hug it, and because of this, the entire courtyard is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, even if the weather is sunny, there is rarely sunlight to shine in.

When Ying Chu walked into the courtyard gate, there was a little eunuch sweeping the courtyard, and when he saw him come in, he stood up respectfully and saluted: "Lord Win, you are back." β€œ

Ying Chu snorted, and without stopping, he walked directly past him and walked into the main room. He took off his robe at will, picked up the steaming cup that was sitting next to him, and took a shallow sip. While the refreshing fragrance spread in his mouth, the man recalled his previous conversation with Li Weiyang. He closed his eyes thoughtfully, carefully reverted the memory several times, and when he opened it again, a faint cruelty appeared on his face.

Li Weiyang, your time limit has arrived.

Qi Guogong Mansion "Doctor, how is my daughter?" Mrs. Guo said anxiously.

The doctor pondered for a moment before saying, "Mrs. Guo don't worry, it's just that the weather is hot and dry, and Miss Guo is too worried, so she will suddenly vomit blood, it's no big deal, I'll prescribe two doses of prescription and take it." β€œ

Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered her subordinates to send the doctor away. Director Guo hurriedly said: "Mother, little sister, this is ......"

Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just too tired." β€œ

Director Guo's heart was slightly relieved, and he said, "Then let's be more careful in the future." β€œ

Mrs. Guo naturally knew this, she sat on the side of Li Weiyang's bed, touched the other party's pale face, but became more and more worried: "This child, it's just that his mind is too heavy......"

The lotus root stood aside, her face was a little bad, she always felt that the young lady's temperament had suddenly changed, she was irritable and irritable, and she fell without warning, not like she was sick but like she had fallen into an evil ......

The doctor said well, Li Weiyang's body healed quickly, but his face was still a little unpleasant, but after inviting several doctors, they all said that it was okay, and Mrs. Guo could only tell her to be more careful.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Li Weiyang is bored in the house, so he simply goes out for a walk, the lotus root and lotus leaves keep a short distance from her according to her instructions, Li Weiyang took two steps, but a person appeared on the bridge in front of him.

Jing Wang Yuanying stood not far away, the texture of the cyan robe was soft and smooth, and the hem would roll like flowing water when it swayed slightly in the wind, his handsome face was angular, and when he looked at her, his eyes were deep, which could almost make people fall into it, Li Weiyang walked over without stopping, and stopped in front of him. "I heard that you are not feeling well, so I specially asked the court to make a heart-clearing pill." After a few days, Yuan Ying seemed to have completely forgotten about the unpleasant breakup last time, and stretched out his hand with a smile in his eyes, revealing a snow-white porcelain vase.

As soon as she heard that she was uncomfortable, she immediately appeared, and if such intentions were changed to other women, she might really be moved.

Li Weiyang looked at the porcelain vase, and suddenly smiled: "Thank you, I accepted it, but ......" She had a smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth brought out a hint of mockery: "You obviously know it, don't you?" No matter what you do, I won't be moved. β€œ

Yuan Ying was stunned, looked at the other party silently, and saw a leaf falling on Li Weiyang's hair with the wind, so he wanted to reach out and take it off, but was naturally avoided by Li Weiyang's actions.

Li Weiyang said very coldly: "Since Your Highness has nothing to do here, Jia'er will retire first, and then have the opportunity to return the gift to His Highness in the future." As he spoke, he motioned to the lotus root on the side to take the porcelain vase, saluted King Jingwang Yuanying, and turned around to leave.

Yuan Ying stretched out his hand to grab her, but after all, reason prevailed, and his hand fell. He thought silently in his heart: Li Weiyang, how can I warm your iron heart, no matter what I do, you won't look at it? Frustration, pain, and entanglement flashed on his face, and he froze in place, until someone patted him on the shoulder, and Yuan Ying reacted: "It's you?" β€œ

Director Guo stood behind him, looked at him with a little sympathy, and said, "Let's have two drinks together?" β€œ

Yuan Ying smiled slightly and said, "Okay." β€œ

The two left together, but Director Guo subconsciously glanced back at Li Weiyang's back, showing doubts. "Go down first, and don't let you in, don't come in yet." Li Weiyang, who returned to the room, just entered the door and instructed the two lotus roots.

The two maids were very well-behaved, and they withdrew directly in response, and before going out, they also covered the door for Li Weiyang.

Li Weiyang then fell on a small box on the table, and the surroundings were quiet, as if no one had ever come, but Li Weiyang's face showed a look that seemed to be smiling. "Why is it that you are so bold on weekdays, but today you hide and don't see anyone?" Li Weiyang said.

The surroundings were quiet, no one responded, Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows and walked over to the table.

There was still no movement around, and the delicate wooden box on the table was tied with a rope buckle, and Li Weiyang's slender fingers pulled left and right, and the rope buckle naturally fell off. The contents of the box also caught her eye. This is a pair of clay dolls that are round and cute and coquettish, pinched not very exquisitely, but the eyebrows and eyes are extremely expressive, Li Weiyang put forward the clay doll that is five or six points similar to himself, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it with interest for a while, then put it back, and lifted another clay doll to look at, this is obviously a miniature version of Yuan Lie.

Holding this clay doll in his hand, Li Weiyang said expressionlessly: "If you don't come out again, I will fall this doll." β€œ

As soon as the words fell, a figure jumped down from the room, and the person immediately came over to look at her, his expression was as aggrieved as he was, and a pair of bright eyes were full of stars: "I made this myself, don't you like it?" Seeing the porcelain vase that Li Weiyang casually put on the table, his eyes were full of unhappy feelings. What, this porcelain vase is much worse than the clay doll you pinched, why do you want to accept it......

Where did Li Weiyang still not understand his mind at this time?

With a straight face, she looked at Yuan Lie, who was not willing to come out until now, and said lightly: "Don't tell me, this doll is a gift from you to me!" β€œ

Yuan Lie was like a big dog, and he almost drooped his ears in front of her to show his grievances: "Of course not." β€œ

Li Weiyang stared at him for a minute, saw that he was still drooping his ears, and finally, he had to helplessly stretch out his hand and wanted to rub it on his head, but was caught by the other party. Yuan Yeol looked at her seriously, and the breath he exhaled almost hit her face: "I miss you so much." β€œ

Li Weiyang's face was a little hot: "Let go." "No." A muffled voice came out of his mouth, and by the time he said this, he had buried his head in her shoulder, and his long arms had wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. In the end, Li Weiyang had to pat him patiently on the back and said in a soft voice: "Why did you come back suddenly?" "Because I miss you so much, when I saw that the situation on the front line had improved, I immediately asked to come back." He was silent for a moment, then whispered in her ear.

At this moment, there was the breath of Yuan Lie between his breaths, and Li Weiyang was a little dazed by the warm atmosphere that wrapped him, and after a long time, he slightly hooked his lips and said, "Count your return in time." β€œ

Actually, whatever gift you give me, I'll love it, just because you're different from everyone else. "As soon as I came back, I heard that you were injured, show me." Yuan Lie put the little doll aside, then gently lifted her sleeves, untied the wrapped strips of cloth, and frowned: "Ying Chu is really bold. β€œ

Li Weiyang smiled: "It's just a little skin injury." β€œ

Yuan Lie said in a loud voice: "Bring the Golden Creation Medicine!" The lotus root responded, "Yes." "After a while, a medicine kit was delivered. Yuan Lie carefully sat Li Weiyang down, washed her wounds with clean cotton balls dipped in wine, and then carefully applied medicine and wrapped strips of cloth.

He moves very carefully and has no distractions.

Li Weiyang only felt that the mood that had been restless was relieved a little, and said softly: "You are very showy on the front line. β€œ

Yuan Lie raised his head and couldn't help laughing: "It's that they are too incompetent. Butβ€”I won the battle, should I be rewarded? After speaking, he smiled lightly, and before she could answer, he slyly dropped a gentle kiss on her face, and said reluctantly, "I'll go into the palace to answer the truth, and then come back to eat with you." β€œ

Li Weiyang smiled and watched him leave, but as soon as he left, her expression slowly changed. Something was wrong with her, her blood was boiling all over her body, her heart was pounding, what was going on......

On the second day, Li Weiyang accompanied Mrs. Guo to incense, and when he came back, he was sleepy leaning on the carriage. Princess Ali was curious: "Jia'er, what's wrong with you lately, you're in poor spirits." β€œ

Li Weiyang opened his eyes and shook his head: "I'm fine." β€œ

Princess Ali and Mrs. Guo glanced at each other worriedly, and Mrs. Guo said, "Let's go back and ask a doctor to take a look." "No need, mother, they all say the same, it's just overwork." Li Weiyang refused.

Until the carriage stopped outside the door of the Duke of Qi, Mrs. Guo stretched out her hand to pull the hair scattered on her forehead behind her ears for Li Weiyang, and said, "If you are tired, dinner will be sent to your house, and you don't have to come to the front yard, just rest." β€œ

Li Weiyang smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes." β€œ

Director Guo was sitting in the garden reading a book, and when he saw his mother and sister coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, and was about to say a few words of laughter, when he found that Li Weiyang's expression seemed to be a little strange.

Director Guo said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" β€œ

Mrs. Guo also looked at Li Weiyang, and sure enough, when she saw that her daughter's face was not so good-looking, she sighed in her heart and said, "Jia'er, are you not feeling well?" β€œ

Li Weiyang saw the two of them staring at him together, and said, "It's really okay, you don't have to worry too much." β€œ

Mrs. Guo refused to give up, directly called the lotus root, and ordered: "Go and fry a bowl of medicine for the young lady." He turned his head and repeatedly interrogated Li Weiyang's situation, Li Weiyang hugged her with a smile and said, "Mother, you are tired of being busy this day, don't worry about me!" For this woman, she can never say no directly, that kind of heartfelt care, so that she is uneasy to accept at the same time, but also feel a little warm.

Director Guo also said to Mrs. Guo: "Mother, since my sister is tired, let's go first, you are tired for a day, you should also take a good rest!" β€œ

Princess Ali also intimately persuaded: "Madam, go and rest, we are here!" β€œ

Mrs. Guo saw that Li Weiyang would not go back to rest if she didn't leave, so she had to nod and say, "Okay." He looked at Li Weiyang with some anxiety: "Jia'er, that mother will leave first, and you can't hide it if you feel uncomfortable." β€œ

Princess Ali accompanied Li Weiyang all the time and left after repeated instructions. Li Weiyang sat back at the table, took a sip of the tea handed over by the lotus root, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face: "Is Zhao Yue better?" "Miss Hui, Sister Zhao Yue's injury is much better, and she will be able to come and serve in two days."

Li Weiyang nodded, recently everyone has been asking her where she is uncomfortable, in fact, it's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's just that she doesn't know how to talk about it, the uneasiness in her heart comes from a sense of crisis that can't be touched and can't be seen, it is the intuitive sensitivity after a long time of life and death, and she can't grasp the clue at all, how should she tell them......

At this time, the lotus root stepped forward again and said, "Miss, do you want to bathe and change clothes first?" β€œ

Li Weiyang has a slight cleanliness habit, if he comes back from outside, if conditions permit, he will bathe and change clothes first, change into clean clothes and then do other things, this is clear.

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "Go and prepare." β€œ

When the large wooden barrel full of hot water was carried in, Li Weiyang took off her clothes and walked in, sank down and closed her eyes, letting the warm water flood her chest, neck, eyes, and forehead...... While trying to relax, the scenes that had happened during this time flashed quickly through her mind. What went wrong? If you just rely on intuition, it is easy to fall into the trap of others, but it is inappropriate to ignore the inexplicable uneasiness in your heart, Li Weiyang feels that she has to sort out her thoughts in order to find out the point that makes you feel uneasy.

I don't know if the water was too hot or if she stayed in the water for too long, the churning blood in her chest gave her the illusion that her whole person was about to explode.

Lian Wu hadn't heard Li Weiyang's voice outside for a long time, and pushed the door in a panic: "Miss! β€œ

With a bang, Li Weiyang showed a pale face from the water and said softly, "I'm fine." β€œ

Lian Wu's heart relaxed slightly, and she quickly took clean clothes to serve Li Weiyang to get dressed.

Outside the window, the birds chirped clearly, but the people inside the house still hadn't woken up.

The lotus root in the outer room has just taken the clean clothes that the girl wants to change into today, and it has been smoked with good incense, and the smell is light but smells good, and the lotus leaf walked in from the outside at this time and asked, "Miss hasn't woken up yet?" β€œ

Lotus Root replied casually: "Miss was not very comfortable yesterday, and it is normal to get up late." β€œ

The lotus leaf glanced inside, saw that there was no movement at all, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said: "Lotus root, I don't know what's going on, my eyelids always jump when I come here today, I always feel that something will happen, do you have a soothing pill, reward me with one!" β€œ

The lotus root couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, and said: "As far as you have a lot of business, isn't there a red lacquer cabinet in my house, and the soothing pills are placed in a milky white porcelain bottle, which was rewarded by the young lady, it is very rare, if you want to eat it, you can get it yourself." "I know, I'll go get a pill and eat it to do good things." Lotus Ye thanked with a smile, turned around and went out with the curtain.

When Lotus Root saw her go out, she couldn't help but glance inside again, and said to herself: "It's weird, why do I feel a little flustered when I talk about this?" Thinking that the young lady hadn't gotten up until now, it was really contrary to the usual habit of getting up early and going to bed early, so the lotus root put down the work in her hand and walked in lightly.

I saw that the exquisite curtains in the room were hanging, and I could faintly see the figure, and the lotus root stood by the bed, and couldn't help but whisper: "Miss? β€œ

Li Weiyang's voice was a little hoarse: "Hmm...... Is it dawn......"

Lotus Root said respectfully: "It's already dawn, Mrs. Fang Cai sent someone to see it once, and she knew that the young lady left before she got up." β€œ

There was a sound behind the thin curtain, and Li Weiyang sat up: "I know." Li Weiyang rubbed his head, I don't know if he had caught a cold in the past two days, and his head was faintly painful.

Lotus root hurriedly went outside to get a set of clothes, and served Li Weiyang to put it on, Li Weiyang took a picture of the bronze mirror, which reflected an unusually pale face, she lightly dyed a little rouge on her cheeks, and then said lightly: "Lotus root, you go to the front yard to ask the doctor to come over in a while, my head is a little heavy, probably cold." Seeing the anxious look on the lotus root's face, she comforted: "It's not a big deal, you don't have to get everyone to know about it, just wait for the doctor to prescribe a dose of medicine and drink it." β€œ

That means don't alarm Madame...... The lotus root looked at her young lady's face a little pale, Xu was really cold, and her heart was relieved, and said, "Miss, don't worry, the slave knows how to do it." β€œ

After the doctor showed Li Weiyang, he only prescribed an ordinary prescription, and Li Weiyang asked him to boil the medicine and drink it, and he felt better. I thought it was just an ordinary wind chill, but when I got up again the next day, my headache was even worse. This time, the lotus root didn't dare to hide it anymore, and quickly invited Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo sat on the edge of the bed, tears streaming down: "Jia'er, how do you feel, does your head still hurt?" What's the matter, why are you sick again......" Then he threw a tantrum at the lotus root, lotus leaf, Zhao Yue and other slaves who came in a hurry to serve Li Weiyang: "How do you all serve Miss?" Miss said that she was sick like this, and she dared to hide it before! β€œ

Li Weiyang lay on the bed, and said in a weak voice: "Mother, don't blame them...... It's the daughter, it's the daughter who doesn't want you to worry, so ...... Don't let them say ......"

The lotus root knelt down with a puff, and said with a crying voice: "Madam, it's all the slave's fault, please punish Madame!" "The master of the Guo family has always been generous to his subordinates, but when something like this happens, it is not a trivial matter.

Mrs. Guo looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, but she still didn't punish them, not because she didn't want to, but because her daughter's illness did come too quickly, no one expected it. The second is that they are now the messengers of Guo Jia's side, and it is their daughters who should be punished. Thinking of this, Mrs. Guo said: "Step aside for the time being, don't delay the doctor's diagnosis!" β€œ

Footsteps sounded outside as he spoke, and in addition to the doctor who prescribed medicine yesterday, several doctors who were raised in the house also walked in with medicine boxes. After the doctor examined it, his face was full of incredulity, and he said, "How is this possible?" Yesterday, Miss Shi was just slightly ill, how did she become so strict overnight? β€œ

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her face turned white with horror, and Director Guo next to her was also shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Doctor Xu, how is my sister's health?" β€œ

This Doctor Xu is a figure whose ancestors have produced seven imperial doctors in a row, with a profound inheritance and his own tricks. The most important thing is that several of them were invited by the Duke of Qi through various channels, whether it is family background or background, they are clearly investigated, and all the lifelines are in the hands of the Duke of Qi, which is difficult to be bought by others, so they have always been the most assured.

Doctor Xu pondered the words and said, "Judging from the pulse of the young lady, the pulse is tight, and it is indeed a symptom of wind and cold......

Mrs. Guo and Director Guo were already very suspicious when they heard that they could only see that it was an ordinary wind and cold, and then they saw the pale face of the girl on the bed, and then they raised their hearts. Mrs. Guo asked uneasily, "Since it is wind and cold, why is it so strict?" β€œ

I also listened to the lotus root, obviously I found a doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine yesterday, why did my condition suddenly worsen overnight? Could it be that the medicine is wrong? Director Guo also thought of this, and hurriedly asked people to take the residue left over from the boiling medicine and let the other doctors inspect it together, and the conclusions reached were also symptomatic, which couldn't help but make people more confused.

Li Weiyang fell ill suddenly, and even Princess Chen Liu was alarmed, and specially invited the imperial doctor from the palace to diagnose and treat Li Weiyang, but the final result was still a cold disease, which made everyone helpless. Feng Han should get better soon, but it never improved, but for a day and a night, Li Weiyang, who was still awake, had fallen asleep from time to time.

Yuan Lie stood in front of the bed like this, looking at the woman on the bed without saying a word, his palms gradually clenched, and his fingertips were buckled into his palms. Beside him, Director Guo looked tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little decadent, and he said in a low voice: "...... Just two hours ago, she had just woken up once, but she couldn't even drink the porridge, and even the water and rice hadn't been eaten for almost two days today, even the imperial doctor said...... They all say that it is a disease of wind and cold, but if it is just a disease of wind and cold, how can it make her look like this......"

Yuan Lie's eyes were so deep that it seemed to encompass the night, and after a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "I will definitely think of it." β€œ

As soon as he came back from the Qi State Mansion, Yuan Lie went directly into the study, and he sat on the carved chair, as if he was waiting for something. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Yuan Lie said coldly, "Come in." β€œ

Several black-clad attendants entered the room like shadows and fell to their knees.

Yuan Lie's cold gaze swept over them one by one, and then he asked, "What can you find out?" β€œ

One of them replied respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates have carefully investigated, and during this period of time, not only is there nothing unusual in the Mansion of the Duke of Qi, but even the surroundings of the Mansion are the same as usual. β€œ

Yuan Yeol lowered his gaze, and his face became gloomy. Li Weiyang just had a headache at first, and gradually became bedridden, and now he can't even drink a mouthful of water and eat a mouthful of food in a short time after waking up. Joke! They all thought that she was seriously ill, but Won Yeol felt that this matter was not as simple as illness. Thinking of this, a person suddenly flashed in his mind.

Narrowing his amber eyes, Yuan Lie said coldly: "Nalan Xue, you are not a stranger to this person, right?" Now, the king commands you to go to her grave at once and dig up her ashes! β€œ

One of them was shocked: "But the ashes of that person are obviously ......" was taken away by the second son of the Guo family!

Yuan Lie sneered: "Took it away? No one else knows! Anyway, Weiyang built a well-dressed mound for her, so you can get some random powder pretend! β€œ

When they walked out, Yuan Lie looked at the wrench in his hand and said in a low voice: "Weiyang, I will definitely save you." β€œ

Not long after the matter was explained, news came, saying that it had been done.

After hearing this, Yuan Lie said in an extremely cold tone: "The ashes should be guarded overnight, and if the person doesn't come, scatter the ashes into the river!" β€œ

As a result, in the evening, a guard took the "visitor" back to King Xu's mansion, threw the person to the ground, and the leader of the guard replied: "Lord, this person is sneaky outside the palace!" β€œ

The man who was thrown on the ground fell a little hard, struggled for a while, and then covered his face and raised his head slowly, but he met Yuan Lie's gaze at once, and his expression was suddenly stunned: "Why are you!" β€œ

Yuan Lie sneered: "Why can't it be me? Jiang Gongzi. β€œ

Jiang Tian's expression suddenly became extremely bitter, and said: "King Xu, since he left, he has been living his life with his duty and has never participated in the affairs of the Jiang family, why can't King Xu let him go?" β€œ

Yuan Lie showed an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling, stared at Jiang Tian tightly, and saw that the other party's face was getting paler and paler, so he said sarcastically: "Jiang Tian, should you say that you are smart, or should you say that you are confused?" Do you think that if you don't say anything about the matter between you and Nalan Xue, I won't know? Since Nalan Xue started to save people, Jia'er said that her methods are very familiar, but she doesn't have malicious intentions, so she doesn't want to debunk it! What else are you pretending! β€œ

Jiang Tian's originally pale face was not even a little bloody, his eyes were full of deep fear, he closed his eyes, and it took a while before he was relieved and said, "...... Yes, Nalan Xue's medical skills were taught by me......" Then, he looked like he was at the mercy of slaughter.

Yuan Lie bent down suddenly, grabbed his front placket and pulled him up from the ground, his eyes seemed to be looking at a dead man: "Do you think I took so much effort to arrest you just to kill you?" Jiang Tian, Jiang Tian, don't think too highly of your own life! As he spoke, he threw it to the ground.

Jiang Tian coughed for a while, then looked at Yuan Lie with a cold expression, and said with a hint of pleading: "As long as you let Nalan Xue's ashes go, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do." β€œ

Yuan Lie said coldly: "Okay, this is what you said!" Come on, prepare the car! β€œ

After Jiang Tian got into the carriage and faced Yuan Lie, who was sitting opposite and looking at him coldly, and retreated with courage, Jiang Tian was only afraid. "That ......" He wanted to ask where to go and what he was going to do, but he was swept away by Yuan Yeol's cold gaze, and immediately shrank his head. Yuan Lie ignored him, and the sound of a pounding heartbeat could be heard in the carriage along the way, and Jiang Tian shrank his body as small as possible, for fear of angering this person with a sinister face.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Yuan Yeol spoke again, with only two words: "Go down." β€œ

Jiang Tian has changed his appearance, and now he looks like an old man in his fifties with gray hair, and Yuan Lie is not afraid of being seen by others, so he directly kicked open the carriage door and looked at the other party coldly. Jiang Tian walked out tremblingly, and Yuan Lie jumped out of the carriage and walked to the gate one step ahead of him.

Beside them, there were guards from the Xuwang Mansion surrounding, Jiang Tian didn't even have a chance to run, and now in this field, he didn't plan to run, and he couldn't run away, so it was better to do things for the other party and ask for a good life. Rao is so, looking up at the plaque on the gate, the four big characters of the Duke of Qi still made his eyes streak, and before he knew it, his back was wet.

Seeing that Yuan Lie looked at him, Jiang Tian hurriedly followed, and the housekeeper looked him up and down, with a look of joy on his face: "His Royal Highness King Xu, the matter is urgent, please go directly to the back and talk to Mrs. β€œ

Mrs. Guo had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as she saw Yuan Lie, she immediately walked up: "Where is the divine doctor invited by His Royal Highness King Xu?" β€œ

Yuan Lie pointed at him to the other party and said, "Mrs. Guo, it's him." β€œ

Without waiting for Jiang Tian to say anything, he was already dragged by Director Guo and walked towards the hospital: "Since this is the case, please ask the divine doctor to take a look at the sister quickly!" β€œ

Jiang Tian was speechless, and was forcibly pulled into the door of the main room, and as soon as he entered the door, more people watched. However, the idlers and others were quickly cleared out, and only Jiang Tian, Yuan Lie, Mrs. Guo, and the young master of the Guo family who dragged him in were left in the patient's room.

Looking at the woman on the bed with her eyes closed and motionless, Jiang Tian suddenly had an unreal feeling, it was unimaginable that such a powerful woman could be so vulnerable. He stretched out his hand to take Li Weiyang's pulse, and the people on the side held their breath and waited quietly for his results, and after a while, Jiang Tian, who had his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes with a very strange expression.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what kind of illness does my daughter have?" β€œ

Jiang Tian looked at Mrs. Guo, and then at Yuan Lie, who was standing aside, and stopped talking.

Yuan Lie's heart sank, looked at Jiang Tian coldly, and said, "You just say it." β€œ

Seeing this, Jiang Tian had to sigh and said slowly: "I can't hide it, this young lady got ...... It's not an illness, I can't do anything about it, I really don't have the ability to cure this young lady. β€œ

What the? Not a disease?

Not only Mrs. Guo was shocked, but even Yuan Lie, who had already guessed, became more and more gloomy, and he asked, "It's not a disease, maybe it's poisoned?" Aren't you able to detoxify? β€œ

Jiang Tian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If it's poison, it's easy to do, but unfortunately it's neither a disease nor a poison, why did it become like this, I really don't know." β€œ

There was a dead silence in the room, and several people in the room were a little dizzy by the news, and when they woke up, Mrs. Guo immediately looked at Yuan Lie like a helper, and rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

Yuan Lie stared at Jiang Tian tightly, as if judging whether his words were correct, from Jiang Tian's face Yuan Lie couldn't see a trace of joking, as if a thousand catties of stone were pressed in his heart, Yuan Lie's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and it took a while before he spoke again: "Before she wakes up, you can't leave here, someone will arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for you, as for whether you can save your life, it depends on whether she can recover, what to do, I think you should understand, right?" β€œ

Jiang Tian smiled bitterly, what else did he not understand? Things have come to this point, and I can't make my own decisions for a long time, so I nodded and said, "Don't worry, although I can't make this young lady heal, but it is still possible to delay for some time." "The implication is that if you want her to wake up, you still need to ask Gao Ming, there is only a limit to what he can do.

Yuan Lie didn't look at him again, and turned his face to look at Mrs. Guo: "What do you think?" β€œ

Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter lying on the bed, and her gloomy expression hid the love that was about to go crazy, and she said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness King Xu, it is fortunate that the divine doctor can have such a promise. That's it, if you can delay for a day, as long as you can find a way, Jia'er will always wake up, right? Dao'er, do you know any strange people, the doctor can't look at Jia'er well, and he has to think of some other way to succeed, but he can't ...... You can't ......" The last words were still not said after all.

Director Guo pursed his lips, as smart as he thought of a stricter question, and said in a low voice: "Mother, His Royal Highness King Xu, this matter can't be leaked out, if there is really a mastermind behind it...... Once they find out that we have taken action, I am afraid that we will hinder it, but it will hinder the rescue of Jia'er, and this matter needs to be carried out in secret. β€œ

Mrs. Guo nodded, and clenched her handkerchief a little nervously: "What Dao'er said is that I will restrain my subordinates well." β€œ

If there is no mastermind behind it, even she will not believe it. It's not a disease, it's not a poison, it's a good stay in the Mansion of the State of Qi, will you suddenly fall ill and not wake up? Why didn't someone else fall, but her Jia'er who had an accident? There must be someone doing something about this, but unfortunately, they can't find any clues after exhausting their efforts, which is really chilling. If she knew who did it, she would never let that person go!

Yuan Lie spoke at this time, with an unquestionable tone: "Leave this matter to me, even if I turn the sky upside down, I will definitely think of a way!" β€œ

Yuan Lie left the room, and Zhao Yue suddenly chased after him: "Master, my eldest brother ...... him"

Wonyeol turned his head and looked at her with a cold gaze.

Zhao Yue's legs were weak and she knelt on the ground: "Slave maid...... Slaves...... There was absolutely no murder of Miss! "Of course I know this, Weiyang has always kept you by her side, and she must have known everything."

Zhao Yue gritted her teeth, this time Zhao Nan didn't come back with Yuan Lie, she vaguely guessed something, yes, the master and the young lady are such smart people, how could they not know? She raised her head suddenly and said, "Master, the slave guesses that the lady is poison!" β€œ

The team walked for seven or eight days in a row, and some of the grass on the side of the road was gnawed away by the war horses, and it looked green and yellow from a distance, Pei Xiao sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage. He was the helper of the prince transferred from the Pei side branch this time, and was named General Changguo, because he was accidentally broken his leg during the march, he specially found a girl from the house to accompany him to take care of him, just when he was smiling and wanting to kiss the beauty Fang Ze, there was a soldier report outside: "General Qiyu, Vice General Zhang asks to see!" β€œ

Pei Xiao's face sank when he heard this, and he said in his heart that this Zhang Lian usually looks quite clever, why is he so blind? He lifted the curtain and leaned out from inside: "What's the matter! β€œ

Zhang Lian was waiting, with a panic on his face, and when he saw Pei Xiao poking his head out of the carriage, he hurriedly came over and said, "General, something happened!" β€œ

Pei Xiao glanced at him unhappily, and said slowly: "Something happened, what could happen?" β€œ

Not to mention that they have 50,000 elite soldiers here, even His Royal Highness the Prince, who is in charge of supervising the formation behind, is enough to deter those Xiaoxiao, and there is still at least half of the distance from the border, what can happen at this time? Vice General Zhang looked left and right, and said hurriedly: "At this time, I still need to report to you secretly!" β€œ

Pei Xiao frowned, the other party's eagerness didn't seem to be fake, could it be that something really big had happened? "What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here, let's talk! β€œ

Seeing this, Deputy General Zhang finally told Pei Xiao the news he had gotten, and after Pei Xiao heard it, his face suddenly became ugly. Pei Xiao followed Pei Yuan to fight everywhere and made a lot of contributions, but in recent years, the emperor transferred him back to Dadu, eating and drinking, pampering and pampering, he was indulged in pleasure, and he had long lost the ambition to make contributions. Coupled with the increase in weekday expenses, he also has frequent tricks in making money. This time he was appointed by the emperor to levy, and a large amount of military salaries and grain and grass were distributed, which really made him red-eyed, originally Pei Xiao didn't expect this to come up for a while, but the deputy generals around him all wanted to make money, and instigated Pei Xiao to stretch out his hand to the military salary. And now someone has spread the word about it, and rumors are spreading in the army. "General, the top priority is to stop this rumor, and we must not let it continue to spread, otherwise it will be extremely unfavorable to you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Vice Admiral Zhang said urgently.

Pei Xiao regretted a little that he shouldn't have touched this batch of grain and grass, and said, "I didn't want these grains and grass if I knew it!" β€œ

Adjutant General Zhang said: "Almost everyone in this army does this, and the general is not the only one, what are you afraid of?" I'm afraid that there is some inner ghost in this, who is provoking the dissatisfaction of the soldiers against the general! β€œ

Pei Xiao's heart sank, and he felt that what Adjutant Zhang said was indeed reasonable, how many generals in the Yuexi army did not deduct military salaries? Why did he deduct some of it, and it immediately caused trouble, this is not normal! If, as Zhang Lian said, someone is secretly making trouble, this is more reasonable.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiao said to Zhang Lian: "What you said is all reasonable, I am afraid that there are people from King Jing who are doing things in this matter, so you will take people to arrest those soldiers who spread rumors!" If they refuse to say what is in charge, they will correct the Fa on the spot! β€œ

Vice General Zhang arched his hand and said: "The last general will obey the order!" "With a horse in hand, he took a personal guard army assigned to him by Pei Xiao, and went down to arrest people.

Pei Xiao yawned and said to the soldiers around him, "Okay, keep marching!" Then he got into the carriage and continued to fight with the charming girl, not taking this little rumor to heart. What he didn't know was that just after the people he sent began to arrest people everywhere, the rumors about Pei Xiaoke's deduction of the sergeant's food and salary to fill his own pockets spread quickly among the army like a snowball, and at the same time, the matter of Pei Xiao's order to kill innocent sergeants was spread, and the speed of the march gradually slowed down for a while, and the resentment was gradually rising.

When the prince knew about this, it was obviously a little bad for him, and for this, he was quite angry. "Is this a brain in the water? How could such a thing be done at such an important time! "He's not against the Pei family making money, but you have to divide the time and time to make money, right? Is now the time to make money! The people of King Jing's faction all opened their eyes wide, eagerly waiting to catch their handles, Pei Xiao is equivalent to sending the evidence to others! After staying in Dadu for so long, is it possible that even the brain has been rusted? The crown prince simply began to wonder why his father sent such a person, in the name of giving the Pei family a chance to get ahead, but now it seems that he is clearly deliberately embarrassing him! "His Royal Highness the Prince, now is not the time to be angry, you must first suppress this rumor and stop it from spreading!" The generals beside the prince persuaded. This is clearly someone deliberately looking for an excuse to disturb the morale of the army, even if it is not for this matter, they will definitely find other excuses!

The prince's expression turned cold, and he said, "Pass my order to detain General Changguo!" When I find out why, I'll give the sergeants an explanation! β€œ

The prince wants to appease people's hearts first and make a selfless decision for everyone to see. But before they could go down to arrange the matter, a horse came running so fast that the rider fell to the ground with a pop and fell to the ground with a pop, and crawled to the prince, and said, "Report-"

Someone came to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince! The front team mutinied! β€œ

Mutiny! As soon as these three words came out, the faces of all the people who heard them, including the crown prince, changed drastically. This is the worst possible outcome! The prince's face was gloomy, his voice was out of tune, and he said, "Say it quickly!" What the hell is going on ahead! β€œ

After listening to the whole story, if Pei Xiao was in front of him at this time, the prince really wanted to pull out his sword and stab him a few times, it was really a waste, and this kind of treatment would be used at such a critical moment, could it be that the Pei family would be destroyed by heaven?

The mutiny in the army was like the outbreak of a snow-capped mountain, and in an instant, it rolled into a whole in an uproar, and the noise in the distance could be heard here, and the restlessness in the air was felt.

The prince said coldly: "Follow me to the front to see the situation!" β€œ

However, when he reached the hillside and looked down, the mountains were all over the wilderness, and the emperor's banner was suddenly erected like a dense forest, and the mountains and forests were full of the cries of shaking the mountains. Tens of thousands of troops, chaos, countless generals rushed around in the military formation, and the crazy chariots drove away the blood.

The prince immediately made a decision and immediately ordered: "Withdraw!" Retreat now! "If it's late, I'm afraid even his cronies' troops will be reimbursed here! Although he hated Pei Xiao to death in his heart, in the end, it was still the Pei clan, after experiencing the battle between heaven and man in his mind, the prince gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and finally fled in the direction of Dadu with people.

Pei Xiao's situation at this time was extremely bad, and as soon as the mutiny appeared, he was terrified. After the fleeing carriage was surrounded by mutinous sergeants, he also tried to scare the men away by posing as a general, which only provoked the sergeant's anger even more. "You can't kill me! I'm a general! I am a relative of the emperor! If you kill me, you will all be killed. Being swept up and pulled off the carriage and tied it with a rope, Pei Xiao saw that the people around him were red-eyed, and knew that he might really die here, and he didn't care about the dignity of a general, so he simply shouted loudly.

As soon as Pei Xiao finished shouting, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The mutinous sergeants, look at me, I look at you, I do have a trace of hesitation in my heart, yes, Queen Pei and Prince Yongwen are the blood relatives of this guy, if they really kill him, I am afraid that the relatives will be punished...... "Why don't you let go of General Ben?!" Seeing this, Pei Xiao mentioned that the heart of his throat and eyes fell into his stomach.

But before he could be proud, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Don't be deceived by him!" There is a way that the law does not blame the public, as long as he is dead, the emperor cannot kill us all! But if we let him leave alive, he won't let us go! Everyone present is dead, and it is true that they have affected their relatives! Kill him! β€œ

With this voice, the crowd that had been quiet became noisy again. The law does not blame the public, even if the emperor wants to punish him, even if the Pei family and the prince want to find someone to settle accounts, there are so many people, who can they kill? On the other hand, if they let this person go, he would have seen the appearance of these people around him clearly, how could he let them go when he returned?

A woman's scream suddenly came from the carriage, which had been quiet, and then a beautiful girl was pulled out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground. "Look! Our brothers are going to the front line to kill the enemy and fight bloodily, this turtle grandson not only has to deduct our hard-earned money, but also marches with a beautiful concubine to enjoy himself! Look at what this woman wears on her head, it's either silk or gold and silver agate! The cups they use to drink are worth a thousand dollars! Look at what we are wearing, the armor is all old armor from last year, and the food and drink are all the worst! You can't even eat a full stomach! You say, should such a general be killed?! "Damn it!" "Kill him!" "Kill the dog man and woman!"

Seeing the fact that there were women hidden in Pei Xiao's carriage, the sergeants were immediately furious, not asking them to be the pioneers of the generals, but to use their hard-earned money to play with women, but to ignore their life and death, such a general is not enough to calm the anger in his heart! When one of the first people rushed over and chopped it down, Pei Xiao screamed, blood splattered seven feet high, sprayed on his face, but before he could cut off Pei Xiao's head, he was hacked to death by the other guards. More mutinous soldiers pounced, one quickly dragged Pei Xiao's corpse, the other raised his knife and fell, poof, a huge human head rolled to the ground, the girl next to her covered her ears and screamed, and was cut down by someone before she could escape.

After this incident, these mutinous sergeants have gone completely crazy.

At this moment, the crown prince had fled in the direction of Dadu with 20,000 people loyal to him, and his heart almost rose to his throat along the way, until the shouting and killing behind him gradually became inaudible, he was slightly relieved, and as soon as he came to his senses, his resentment towards Pei Xiao could no longer be controlled. "It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose! Even if he doesn't die, he can't be spared! Thinking of Pei Xiao's incompetence and stupidity, the prince almost gritted his teeth, but now he still had to take care of the face of the Pei family, and the prince immediately said to his cronies: "This mutiny is to provoke the fine work, and the order will go down, if you find any traces of the fine work, you will be killed!" That's not all, he tore off the sleeve of his underwear again, dipped his fingers in blood, wrote a bloody letter, and handed it to a close confidant: "Send this letter to my mother in Dadu immediately, there must be no mistake!" β€œ

With Queen Pei sitting and maneuvering in the capital, even if the Pei family and him can't escape punishment this time, at least it won't end miserably.

The crown prince couldn't help but secretly rejoice at this moment that the queen mother had already arranged for proper people to be by his side, and the most loyal 20,000 people were his talisman! If it weren't for their timely protection, he wouldn't have been able to escape from those traps.

As soon as the cavalry sent out had left, someone fled from the rear, and the man who came rode a horse and wore the armor of the personal guard, and when he saw that he had finally caught up with the prince's team, his face burst out with a look of great surprise, but he was cut off and could not approach. "Let him come." Prince Road.

As soon as this man came to the prince's horse, he wept bitterly before he could speak.

Seeing that this person looked very familiar, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a child of the Pei family who followed Pei Xiao's left and right, and the prince was stunned in his heart. He stared at the visitor with a gloomy expression, and when he saw that he was still crying, he couldn't help but show an impatient look, and said, "What does crying look like!" Say, what's going on? β€œ

Only then did the person who came raise his head, and with tears in his eyes, he said with hatred on his face: "It's the general...... He was killed by thieves! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please avenge the general! He died a miserable death, and there was no body left behind! The last general escaped with this life, and everyone else ...... They're all dead! β€œ

The prince immediately stood on his horse, and it took a moment for him to come to his senses.

Although he was already very resentful of Pei Xiao's stupid behavior before, but now that he really heard the news of the other party's death, the prince was a little difficult to accept. That is also an important member of the Pei family, and he died in a ridiculous mutiny before he was requisitioned, if the queen mother knew, would she blame herself for being useless?

But in a blink of an eye, someone must come to blame for this mutiny, and Pei Xiao died just right!

The prince felt more and more that it was unsafe to stay here, and said directly: "You go aside!" I'm in my own hands on this! He looked around, and his handsome face was gloomy. Here, something isn't quite right! "Pass the order and return to Dadu immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, the earth suddenly trembled, and there was a faint sound of strong and crisp horses' hooves in front of him, as if countless iron horses were rolling and surging. After a while, they saw a force of men and horses in the dust, blocking their way. At the front of the team, a man in a strong suit rode heroically on a tall horse, sneering at him. King Jin! How did he end up here? The prince recognized the person at once, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was particularly strong.

Before he could speak, the King of Jin had already held up a volume of holy decrees, and said loudly to the prince and the 20,000 soldiers behind him: "All the soldiers listened to the order, the prince connived at Pei Xiaoke's deduction of food and salary, and killed Zhongliang, His Majesty has already issued a holy decree to depose the crown prince and send him to the capital to await trial!" β€œ

King Jin's voice was extremely penetrating, and everyone was shocked, the holy decree? Could it be that the previous rumors are true! The ordinary sergeants looked at the supreme commander in front of them, and their eyes became a little strange.

The prince looked at King Jin, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, and his heart was already in chaos.

Wasn't King Jin a vassal of the Queen Mother? Didn't he join the Queen Mother with King Qin?! Why is it here?

Seeing that the other party looked at him with a stern face after reading the holy decree, the prince sneered and said with some disdain: "King Jin, I thought you could use some tricks!" I see, do you want to use a false edict to trick me into being arrested? You guys have a good idea, but unfortunately I won't be fooled! You are just a prince, and I am the dignified prince of Yuexi! Even if my father really wants to depose me, the crown prince, it will not be your turn to announce the decree! You say that you have a holy decree, who can prove it to you? When I get to Dadu, I will explain it to my father! β€œ

King Jin smiled slightly: "Prince, my father doesn't want your life, so why should you disobey the holy decree and quibble?" β€œ

The prince raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "King Jin, if you dare to block my way back to Dadu again, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" β€œ

King Jin's face was unusually calm, and he said, "So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is insisting on resisting the decree?" β€œ

The prince said angrily: "What kind of resistance, you are a false edict!" β€œ

Seeing that the soldiers and horses led by the King of Jin still did not mean to get out of the way, the prince was anxious, for fear that it would be too late to return to Dadu, and something would happen there, so he simply drank the 20,000 people led by the King of Jin to kill the King of Jin.

At his command, a worse situation finally appeared in front of him, and everyone remained motionless, as if unconscious.

The king of Jin on the opposite side looked at him with a smile, as if he was laughing at his ignorance and ignorance, and after the prince was stunned for a moment, he shouted at the generals who were not moving at all: "What are you still doing in a daze? Take him down! β€œ

It's still surprisingly quiet. The familiar faces all seemed to have become strangers, and they all looked at him with indifferent eyes, and the prince looked at them, and felt that his heart had suddenly fallen into the ice hole, and it was extremely cold. "You ......" He had already faintly sensed something, but he was still looking forward to it, hoping that he had guessed wrong. Prince, let me ask you again, do you accept the order? The King of Jin on the opposite side was holding the holy decree in his hand, and he had already restrained his expression, and looked at him sternly.

The prince lowered his head, and a low laugh came out of his mouth, and then the laughter grew louder and louder, until at last the prince raised his head and tears flowed down his eyes. If he doesn't understand at this time, then he is really stupid!

He actually didn't understand until now that his father had connived at the Pei family and Empress Pei for so many years, simply to let them gradually corrupt and lead to their own destruction, including Pei Xiao's greed this time, the mutiny in the army, and the hand behind the scenes was his good father! He used to think that the one who hated him the most and wanted to put him to death in the Pei family was King Jing and the Guo family, but now he realized that the one who hated the Pei family the most and wanted the Pei family to perish was the current emperor! And these 20,000 people were given to him by the queen mother, and she clearly said that these people were absolutely loyal and would not betray, but now they have betrayed.

The queen mother was deceiving him, and from the beginning, the queen mother wanted him to come and send him to death. Knowing that his father wanted to kill him, and knowing that this qiΔ“ was just a trap, the queen mother sent him to death with her own hands without hesitation.

These were his real parents, people he had never known.

They all wanted to put him to death.

Why! Why...... Why are they all so cold. The prince's heart seemed to be dripping blood, and his body was very cold, so cold from the inside out.

Thinking of his childhood to adulthood, in order to get a word of praise from his father, in order to make himself more worthy of the identity of the prince, he continued to learn etiquette, read books and learn history...... The prince suddenly laughed wildly, and he felt that he was really stupid! "It turns out that in the eyes of everyone, I am the biggest joke!" He laughed almost breathlessly, and when he thought of the deep hatred and love that the queen mother had for his father, his tears continued to flow down and drip into the dirt with laughter. "The Queen Mother! You're just an idiot! Then, he drew his sword and laid it across his neck. I know that my father wants to kill me, and my mother wants me to die. In this case, even if I return to Dadu alive, I will only die a humiliating death. King Jin, this time I can only disappoint you, I will not go back. β€œ

The prince said loudly, King Jin saw that the situation was not good, and he was about to rush up, but he saw a burst of red blood mist coming out. The prince fell from his horse and fell to the ground.

King Jin dismounted and walked to his side, the prince did not close his eyes, I don't know whether to look in the direction of Dadu, or look at himself, and he didn't blink his eyes.

People's hearts are dangerous in the mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to reach the sky, and the prince is seeking an answer until his death, but unfortunately, he does not understand until he dies.

Not only the crown prince, but even the king of Jin didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

King Jin looked at this scene and sighed: "Your Majesty has an order, you must see people in life and corpses in death, and bring the prince back to Dadu." β€œ

A few days later, 50,000 troops returned to Dadu one after another, and camped in the military camp near Dadu, waiting for the emperor's will, and they brought back the news that Prince Yongwen committed suicide in fear of sin. At the same time, the general Pei Xiao, who went to the conquest, was listed as several serious crimes after his death, and was reprimanded by the Yuexi Emperor in public as a moth of the country, and was scolded by the imperial historians.

When Yuan Lie heard the news, he put the cup in his hand aside, his slender fingers crossed in front of him, his face with a touch of ruthlessness that had not been seen for a long time, and his eyes were full of bone-chilling cold and destructive coldness.

He said expressionlessly, "It won't be long." β€œ

The prince pushed open the door of the study, and saw Yuan Lie looking at him expressionlessly, and hurriedly said to Yuan Lie: "Lord, the emperor just sent someone to let you enter the palace immediately, I'm afraid there is something urgent!" β€œ

Yuan Lie's heart sank, he had been temporarily called into the palace many times before, a few times because the emperor asked him to play chess or talk, but there were many times when the emperor suddenly fell ill and summoned him to accompany him in an extremely unstable mood, what would be the situation today?

After Yuan Lie entered the palace, there were already emperor's cronies waiting here, and when he saw Yuan Lie get out of the car, he immediately ran over as if he had seen a savior, and said breathlessly: "Lord Wang, you can be regarded as coming!" The emperor has been waiting for you! β€œ

Yuan Lie didn't say much, and directly got into the sedan chair they carried over, and then asked, "How ...... is the emperor's body?"

The father-in-law whispered beside the sedan chair: "You will naturally know when you arrive." Then, let people carry a sedan chair and fly towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yuan Lie didn't greet anyone, with a handsome face, he followed behind this father-in-law, and before he could walk in, he had already heard the screams inside, and the emperor was sick again? Thinking of his angry temper every time the emperor fell ill, Yuan Yeol couldn't help but frown. "So, the emperor is sick again?" In the Xingchen Palace, Queen Pei sat quietly, holding a cat in her hand.

The little eunuch kneeling in front of her didn't even dare to raise his head, and replied in a trembling voice: "Hui Niangniang's words, it is exactly like this, the emperor's illness this time seems to be stricter than before, and today he has repeatedly summoned important ministers, even King Jing and King Xu have been called to the bed for questioning......"

The smile on the corner of Queen Pei's mouth was even colder: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and receive the reward." β€œ

After the person went out, she let go of the cat in her arms, and then sighed, with an indescribable weirdness on her beautiful face: "Your Majesty, I killed your own son, how ......do you feel now?"

Her voice was soft, and her tone was so strange that it was terrifying. After a while, Empress Pei, who had gathered these expressions, stood up, walked past the playful cat, and came to the outside of the main hall. She stood on the high steps, looked in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and said to the eunuch who followed her with an expressionless face: "Go and see Ying Chu and ask him how things are going." β€œ

The eunuch replied: "The slave will do it." β€œ

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart

Yuan Lie looked at the unconscious middle-aged man on the bed, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The old eunuch Zhang Zhong came over at this time, put a cup of hot tea on the table beside Yuan Lie, and persuaded: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty doesn't know when you will wake up, it's not a way for you to wait like this, let's drink tea and rest first." β€œ

Yuan Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Father-in-law Zhang has a heart." β€œ

Eunuch Zhang smiled, didn't say anything, and stepped aside.

Yuan Lie's brows were furrowed very tightly, right now Li Weiyang was waiting for him to save himself at Guo's house, but he couldn't get out here, so he had to wait for the emperor to wake up...... Thinking of the situation when he saw the emperor before, and the other party fainted to the ground before he could say a word, the complicated feelings in Yuan Lie's eyes precipitated, and these things together are by no means a coincidence that can be explained.

Half an hour later, King Jing appeared outside the door of the Duke of Qi, and the housekeeper let him in directly, Guo Ying came out to greet him, Yuan Ying was too lazy to be polite, and asked directly: "How is she doing?" β€œ

In fact, the result could be guessed from Director Guo's expression, but Yuan Ying still avoided hoping to hear a positive answer, but unfortunately Director Guo was destined to disappoint him. Yuan Ying's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, it had been a few days since the incident, and he still couldn't believe that Li Weiyang would actually fall. Maybe this woman has always appeared as a tough image, so much so that they both forget that the other party is just a weak woman.

He slowed down outside Li Weiyang's dormitory, the bright sky light was cut off, and the faint smell of medicine filled his mouth and nose in the air. Then he saw Li Weiyang lying on the bed. She was originally extremely beautiful, with a pair of eyes as calm and clear as autumn water but with a cold and cold air, which made him both hate and love, but now the originally soft facial features are so dark that there seems to be no trace of anger, and she is thin as if she has lost her shape after not seeing her for two days. "His Royal Highness King Jing, please speak here." Director Guo said at the right time on the side.

King Jing turned his head again, stared deeply at Li Weiyang on the bed, and finally nodded and walked out.

Late at night, the lotus root was dozing off in the house, and Zhao Yue had been rushed to rest because her body had not yet healed, leaving only the lotus leaf sitting under the lamp, quietly guarding Li Weiyang. A cold wind blew, and Lotus Ye got up to close the window, but a black shadow flashed, and she fell silently before she could make a sound.

The dark shadow smiled slightly, fell to the ground, and walked towards the bed. The lotus root woke up suddenly, and was about to scream, when the man waved his sleeves slightly, the lotus root only felt weak, obviously still conscious but no longer able to resist, and couldn't even make a sound.

Li Weiyang on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at each other coldly.

Ying Chu smiled: "Miss Guo, His Royal Highness King Xu was left in the palace, don't worry, I will send you out of the sea of suffering." β€œ

Li Weiyang seemed to move, but he fell softly on the pillow, but there was a sharp cold glow in his eyes.

Ying Chu said: "Actually, I don't want to kill you, this blood curse is too vicious, once it is cast on my own longevity, it will be a big hindrance, but you are too much of a hindrance, and ordinary Gu can't help it, so I have to sacrifice more." He sat down at the head of Li Weiyang's bed, his voice extremely soft, like a whisper between lovers, "Now that it results in you, you won't be too painful." "Really?" A voice sounded coldly, Ying Chu was taken aback, turned around suddenly, and saw a figure walking out behind the screen under the candlelight, with handsome eyebrows and beautiful eyes, cold eyes, and a delicate face like a ghost axe, which looked dazzling and bewitching under the candlelight.

It's King Wonlie who should be in the palace!

Ying Chu stood up from the bedside, glanced at Li Weiyang, stared at Yuan Lie again, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that you entered the palace under a pretense." "If you use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, I can naturally return the favor to the other in the other way." Yuan Lie is authentic word for word.

Ying Chu laughed: "Do you think you can catch me like this?" It's a pity, it's a pity, once this blood curse is cast, it will never die, even if you catch me, you can't save Li Weiyang's life. β€œ

Yuan Lie sighed lightly and said, "That's not necessarily. β€œ

At this time, several black-clothed guards poured in from all sides of the room, eyeing Ying Chu. These people are all ruthless people, all of them are ruthless and ruthless, Ying Chu had no choice but to fight, and he was already a little sweaty after only a few moves, and suddenly a strong force suddenly climbed up to Ying Chu's back, and Ying Chu subconsciously threw the person behind him to the ground. Unexpectedly, Yuan Lie stretched his bow and took an arrow, and a silver light shot towards Ying Chu's throat, although he flashed sideways, several black-clothed people had already rushed from behind to surround Ying Chu, sealing all his retreats.

Wang Zijin suddenly appeared at the door and said loudly: "Take off his mask!" Yuan Liefei went up and tore off half of Ying Chu's mask, and everyone looked at Ying Chu's face at the same time, and everyone was stunned at this look! On the other half of Ying Chu's face, there are no scars, but a human face!

The human face was half smaller than a normal face, but the eyes, ears, mouth and nose were complete, the eyes were closed, there was no hair, the shape was extremely terrifying, and even the cyan blood vessels under the skin and the blood flowing in it could be seen, and the face was also covered with scars, there were knife wounds and burns, as if someone had tried to dig out the whole face but could not succeed, even though these men in black were all excellent killers, they had never seen such a terrible scene, and they all took a step back!

Ying Chu screamed and covered his face, Wang Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "That's his weakness!" β€œ

Yuan Lie said angrily: "Hold him!" Several people in black woke up in shock, and rushed forward with nausea, Ying Chu only cared about covering his face, and completely ignored a qiΔ“, Yuan Lie cut off his hand covering his face with a sword, Ying Chu screamed again and again, and pounced fiercely at Yuan Lie, those men in black hurriedly entangled him, one of them saw the opportunity and did not hesitate to step forward and stab him in the face with a sword, Ying Chu screamed, the second face on his face suddenly cracked, a large piece of blood splashed out, and an incomparably fishy smell spread, making people almost vomit.

Ying Chu's movements stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, he stood in place in a daze, and then he fell down on his back, his body twitching violently. Yuan Yeol walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly: "Only if you die, can you save her." β€œ

Ying Chu stared at Yuan Lie, a strange smile in his eyes. "Do you think you've won? No, never ......" After saying this, Ying Chu stopped breathing.

Yuan Lie frowned, and hurriedly went to check on Li Weiyang's situation, at the moment when Ying Chu lost his breath, Li Weiyang barely supported his body and sat up, Yuan Lie hurriedly hugged her, and it was difficult to hide the ecstasy in his heart: "Weiyang!" β€œ

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." β€œ

Yuan Lie's nervous fingers were trembling, Li Weiyang held his hand, turned his head to look at Wang Zijin, and said, "Thank you." β€œ

Wang Zijin just smiled, then walked in and said, "You guys clean up here." β€œ

Director Guo had been by Wang Zijin's side just now, and only then did he ask, "What's going on?" β€œ

Wang Zijin said solemnly: "I told my master all about Jia'er's situation, and he told me that the most obvious place is the easiest to be overlooked, and we want to find Ying Chu's weakness, but we have always turned a blind eye to his real weakness, so I guess that his key point is behind that mask." ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Ying Chu, who was carried out, and said softly: "What kind of disease is he?" ”

Wang Zijin said: "It's a human face sore." Ying Chu has done too many things that hurt heaven and reason, especially Gu poison, which is extremely damaging to yin morality, so God will punish him like this, which has also become the only Achilles heel in his body. ”

Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "He knows that I have been hit by the blood curse, why don't you just wait." ”

Wang Zijin smiled: "I think, he is not at ease." ”

Indeed, Li Weiyang is too cunning, and Ying Chu is not at ease, so he will take the opportunity to spy at night, in fact, he is too cautious and too careful, so he will fall for Yuan Lie's plan in turn. If he really waited for the blood curse to attack, Li Weiyang would naturally die.

Jiang Tian crawled out from under the bed at this time, patted his chest and said, "It's so scary, I've never seen such a terrible thing in my life!" ”

Yuan Lie kicked him: "Go far!" ”

Seeing her baby daughter wake up again, Mrs. Guo, who heard the news, couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a choked voice: "Jia'er, you can be regarded as awake!" These days, Mrs. Guo felt that she was almost unable to support herself, and she didn't dare to imagine that if something happened to this daughter, she herself would probably not be able to do it herselfβ€”but now it's okay, her daughter has woken up!

"Mother......" Li Weiyang subconsciously shouted.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly said: "Child, don't be busy talking, the doctor said that when you wake up, let you drink some porridge first, and then rest to recover." She touched Li Weiyang's face with great pity, as if this girl lying on the bed was the most precious treasure in the world.

At this time, the lotus root came over with a bowl of porridge and said, "Madam, let the slave maid come and feed the young lady." ”

"No need." Mrs. Guo directly took the bowl into her hand and said, "I'll come, you can help Jia'er up." ”

The lotus root hurriedly helped Li Weiyang to sit up, and leaned on a soft cotton cushion behind Li Weiyang. Taking a sip of the porridge fed by Mrs. Guo, Li Weiyang felt as if his senses were awakened by the sweet taste of gruel, and the cold in his heart was gradually dispelled. Because there were people on the side who had been staring at him, Li Weiyang had to sweep over while drinking porridge.

Seeing that Yuan Lie and Director Guo were staring at him for a moment, he pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed them a reassuring smile.

With the gruel moisturizing, Li Weiyang felt that he had recovered a lot, and his throat, which was originally dry and astringent, was also moistened a lot, and he drank a bowl of porridge all the time, seeing that Mrs. Guo's face was full of happiness and fear, looking at herself honestly, and there was even more fear and uneasiness in her eyes, Li Weiyang handed the bowl to the lotus root on the side, and said in a low voice: "Mother, it's all about your daughter, and you're worried about it." ”

"Silly girl, look at what you're talking about!" Mrs. Guo wiped the corners of her mouth with a cloth handkerchief, and said angrily: "You are your mother's daughter, your mother is not worried about you, who else can you worry about?" However, Jia'er, my mother is not afraid of being tired, but my mother always hopes that you can be healthy and healthy, live until you are old, and you can have a group of children and be happy for a lifetime...... I thought I would see you again, I couldn't see you wake up......"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Guo wept again, her voice choked.

"Mother, I'm so afraid of losing you again!"

Li Weiyang gave Director Guo a look, and didn't persuade his mother, don't just look at it!

Director Guo was also afraid that Mrs. Guo's body that had finally recovered would collapse again, so he sang and sang with Li Weiyang, which soon made Mrs. Guo burst into tears. Li Weiyang's heart settled down, and seeing Mrs. Guo's tired face, Li Weiyang smiled well-behaved and sensible, and said, "Mother, hasn't my daughter turned the corner?" You should also pay more attention to your body, you can rest assured, this time I am really good. ”

Mrs. Guo was finally persuaded away by Li Weiyang, Director Guo glanced at Wang Zijin and said with a smile: "I still have something to ask you about." ”

Wang Zijin smiled silently and walked out with him.

Yuan Lie, who had been standing not far away and watching her quietly, walked over at this time, and sat directly on the edge of her bed without hesitation, without speaking, staring deeply at the person in front of him, if he could, he wanted to rub her into his heart like this, and never let go. He was so scared, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was tugging, he was really afraid that she would not wake up......

Yuan Lie's expression all fell on Li Weiyang's eyes, he was afraid...... She is no stranger to him like this, every time, it seems to be because of herself, thinking like this, Li Weiyang's eyes suddenly became gentle: "I'm already fine, don't worry about me." ”

Won Yeol hugged her tightly, with great strength, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again. Under the candlelight, his face was handsome and soft, and Li Weiyang smiled: "I will always be here with you." ”

Two days later, the battle ended when Tuoba Yu in the southern battlefield was imprisoned by the courtiers because of a coup d'Γ©tat in the army. Da Zhou saw that the situation was not right, and immediately went to the invitation and the book, and the teacher of Qi returned to the court.

It was not yet dawn and the streets were silent.

After a while, a horse-drawn carriage turned out from the corner of the street, carrying a flaming red lantern on the front of the carriage, which swayed slightly as the carriage moved, and far away, you could see the word "Guo" written on the lantern.

Guo Su was wearing court clothes, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be taking a nap, but outsiders didn't know that he was thinking about something in his mind at this moment. And Guo Cheng sat silently on one side and didn't speak. The atmosphere inside the car is slightly depressing, and the same is true outside the car, there are more than a dozen knights on both sides of the carriage, all of them are sturdy, their eyes are piercing, and at the front of the team is led by a young general on horseback, this person is wearing the official uniform of a military attache of the fourth grade, and he does not say a word, with a handsome face, and his eyes are sharp and glance at the qiΔ“ in front of him, it is Guo Dun, because of his military exploits, now he has been named General Weixing.

It was still dawn when we approached the Imperial City, but there were more carriages, and along the way, everyone talked politely or nodded their heads, and then walked towards the palace together.

Recently, His Majesty's body has deteriorated, and the time to go to court has become less and less, which makes the courtiers in the court worried, but everyone swallowed these words in their stomachs. Everyone still couldn't help but show a little anxiety between their eyebrows, and they were even more cautious in their hearts, which prince had a chance to ascend to the throne in the future, and they should have a good relationship with the future ruler earlier.

"Why hasn't the emperor come out today?" A bearded man under his jaw turned to the other.

"Hey! I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the court this morning today! The man shook his head slightly.

This kind of waiting is already accustomed to the ministers, because the emperor's time to go to court is getting shorter and shorter, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come today.

Just as the crowd was whispering, a sharp voice shouted:

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The Queen? Above the palace, the faces of the ministers suddenly showed a look of shock, obviously not quite understanding what kind of trouble this was. Since Prince Yongwen hanged himself and Pei Xiao was punished, Empress Pei stayed at home and closed herself in her palace, and even the ladies of the family rarely saw her, why did she suddenly appear in this court today?

Empress Pei held the eunuch's hand, step by step, and slowly walked to the high position in the hall.

Since entering the hall, the corners of Empress Pei's lips have always been hung with a smile but not a smile, when she walked in front of the dragon chair in the hall, she stopped, turned around slowly, with a majesty that was not inferior to Yuan Jinfeng, and looked down at the courtiers in the hall from top to bottom.

The female officials who followed Pei Hou had already pulled up a beautiful bead curtain in front of the dragon chair, and Pei Hou's beautiful appearance and amazing momentum disappeared behind the bead curtain after everyone glanced at her, but the gaze that was absent gave people an invisible oppression and made people uncomfortable.

Through the bead curtain, Empress Pei's eyes swept over the people below one by one.

"See the queen mother, the mother of the mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The ministers seemed to wake up from their surprise together, and shouted in unison below, their voices echoing through the palace.

Chitose?

Empress Pei evoked a smile, and Qianqianyu's hand was raised gracefully: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are flat-"

It wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone in the palace to hear it clearly.

How could the queen come to the palace today? Although she is the queen, she is just a woman, not to mention that she is also the daughter of the Pei family, with the emperor's tough attitude in recent years, it is impossible to allow the daughter of the Pei family to openly interfere in the government affairs.

As if he had never seen everyone's suspicious, disdainful, or even dazed eyes, Empress Pei said unhurriedly: "The emperor has been in poor health recently, and the affairs of the court and government have been entrusted to the palace to deal with it temporarily, do you have anything to do today?" ”

Although these words were not loud, they exuded an undoubted majesty, and after she finished speaking, she sat down in a seat on the right side of the dragon chair.

"Queen Mother, I don't know when the emperor will be able to go to court early?" The person who spoke was Chen Shang who was standing in the ranks of civil officials, he was one of the three dukes, and he had some prestige in the court, and even the emperor wanted to give him some thin noodles.

And Chen Shang's question happened to ask the voices of other courtiers in the court, but they dared not speak out against this queen.

"The emperor's current condition is only suitable for recuperation, so he will let the palace act as an agent for political affairs, and the palace naturally hopes that the emperor's dragon body can recover as soon as possible, so that I can also unload this burden on my shoulders!" Faced with the questioning, Pei Hou did not panic at all and said calmly.

However, her gaze at Chen Shang was a little chilly, although the chill was fleeting, and there was always a faint smile on Fleur's face. Even through a curtain, she is still graceful, beautiful, and noble.

Hearing Queen Pei's explanation, the ministers immediately turned their heads and ears.

At this moment, Guo Su, the Duke of Qi, walked out of the queue and arched his hand: "Since the emperor is sick with the dragon's body, the ministers have to wait until the emperor's dragon body recovers, and then come to discuss political affairs. ”

Seeing no movement behind the curtain, Guo Su continued: "But today the queen is here, and the old minister has a strange thing to tell the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

Speaking of this, he took a deep look at Empress Pei, who was sitting behind the curtain.

"Oh, what makes Qi Guogong so solemn?"

"A few days ago, my daughter Guo Jia suddenly fell into a coma, and was later diagnosed with Gu poison, and then we tried our best to catch the person who was under the Gu, but this person was the Aichen Ying Chu next to the queen's mother! Dare to ask the mother, what do you think about this! Guo Su raised his eyes to look at the woman sitting behind the curtain, with an aggressive momentum.

The Guo brothers stood in the queue expressionlessly, not surprised by their father's sudden attack.

Empress Pei said in a flat tone: "What does it have to do with me to win Chu and kill people? I can understand that Duke Qi is too tired to be busy with political affairs, and it is not strange to say such things in the court, but I also ask Grandpa Guo to be cautious in his words and deeds. ”

Guo Su no longer concealed the anger that had been suppressed, his sharp eyes shot directly at the figure behind the curtain, and snorted coldly: "If people don't know, unless it's already done, Queen Mother, you must know what you've done, and do you still use the old man to say more?" Ying Chu has already confessed that the murder of the little girl was ordered by you! ”

He raised his hand and pointed it straight at her.

Empress Pei stood proudly behind the curtain, and even the tone of her speech did not change. She said lightly: "Duke Qi Guo, do you know what is the sin of slandering the queen of a country?" ”

"When I won Chu and Fu Fu, everyone in the Guo family saw it with their own eyes, not only that, but the Wang family can also testify for me!" Guo Su said coldly.

The two had already torn off the cloak of harmony that they had just covered, and confronted each other in the main hall.

"That's the case?" Empress Pei, who was behind the curtain, suddenly laughed, and a cold voice came, "Qi Guogong, since you keep saying that there are witnesses, what about the first party to the matter?" And where is his testimony? In the last sentence, it has become a bitter question.

"You ......" Guo Su was about to speak, but after listening to Pei Hou, he said again: "Since Ying Chu personally admitted a qiΔ“, why don't you say it again here in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!" ”

Guo Su said with cold eyes: "Niangniang, you know that Ying Chu will not betray you, let alone testify against you, that's why this is the case!" ”

Guo Cheng took a step forward, his eyes were cold and said: "Dare to ask Niangniang, what is His Majesty's condition, and where is his will to ask Niangniang to act as his agent?" ”

Empress Pei finally changed color, her expression was full of evil, as if she was in the cold winter: "What are you doing here?" Question me?! Qi Guogong, you used Guo Jia to frame me, but also connived at your son to be rude in court, come and take them down! ”

Hundreds of heavily armed forbidden troops rushed into the main hall, and Qi Qi pointed his long sword at Qi Guogong, and the cold light flashed with sharp sharpness that made people unable to open their eyes for a while. At this time, Qi Guogong saw the fire rising into the sky in the distance, and also heard the sound of killing, he turned his head sharply and stared at Queen Pei: "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" ”

In a short period of time, the ministers in the palace were already stunned by the successive great changes, and they caught a glimpse of Guo Su's angry eyes, and they couldn't say the unexplained hatred, Chen Shang and the other old foxes suddenly understood that Empress Pei was taking advantage of the emperor's absence to attack the Guo family, and instantly glanced at the palace, but did not see the figures of King Xu and King Jing, and the eyes of the smarter ministers were full of surprise. Where did they go? Is it not in the palace, or has it been eliminated by Empress Pei a long time ago?

Behind the curtain, there was a sigh from Queen Pei, her voice was soft, and she seemed to feel sorry for the Guo family: "Duke Qi Guogong, you have 400,000 heavy soldiers in your hands, and you are deeply trusted by the emperor, but you have repeatedly provoked the majesty of the royal family, not only have you repeatedly bought people's hearts in the army, but now you are secretly planning to rebel and collude with King Jing to murder the emperor!" Now that the emperor is seriously ill, you don't repent, and you take the opportunity to make waves, vainly trying to subvert the court and slander me! What point of your words and deeds is worthy of being called a pillar of the country? As the queen of Yuexi, how can I sit back and watch you, the villain, continue to run amok. So...... Today is the day of your ambush! Take the people down! If there is a resistant, shoot and kill! ”

In the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly blew like a cold winter wind, and suddenly cooled down.

The chaotic sound outside has fallen silent, but the soldiers who surround the entire hall on the inner and outer three floors can really see it!

Is this to force the palace?

Or do you want to rebel?

With such a formation, do you want to put the ministers here in a nest, or do you just want to bring down the Guo family? The crowd couldn't help but weaken their legs and feet, and their hearts trembled.

Qi Guogong said angrily: "Empress Pei, do you think that if you kill me, you can get the military power?" The four gates of the east, west, north and south are all guarded by His Majesty's cronies, can you force the palace to succeed? ”

Empress Pei smiled: "Yes, it's a pity that these four doors have now fallen into my hands." ”

The forbidden army has all taken refuge in Empress Pei?! Everyone looked in the direction of King Qin, but King Qin looked at him coldly, but he was silent.

Empress Pei stood on the high steps, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, looking a little unreal.

The blade was already on the neck of Qi Guogong, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the hall, this was definitely not the palace guard, and Queen Pei, who had a calm expression, changed her face slightly at this time, and it was not allowed to ride horses in the palace, she had already heard what the sound of horses' hooves was...... Fortunately, there was a curtain in front of her, and the ministers below also looked outside, not realizing her gaffe.

"Stop! Who are you......"

"Stop! Bold ......"

"They are not forbidden troops! Stop them! ”

"Ahh

At this time, the forbidden army had already clashed with the people outside, and with a scream, there was a sudden chaos outside. The people in the main hall couldn't see what was happening outside, and no one was stupid enough to join in the excitement during this extraordinary period, they were all waiting for a result.

In the quiet and anxious waiting of everyone, there was finally a sound of footsteps, from far to near.

"This king is late, Duke Qi Guo, let you suffer, please forgive your sins!" Against the light, a figure walked in from the outside, with a sword pinned to his waist and a faint smile on his face, unable to tell whether the smile was mocking or something else. But they could smell the bloody breath on him from a long distance, and everyone gasped when they saw who it was.

Wonyeol! Not only him, but behind Yuan Lie, there were thousands of guards in fine armor, all of whom were imposing, and wherever they walked, the forbidden troops who rushed into the main hall had to slowly retreat backwards to make way for them.

The soldiers around Yuan Lie all opened their crossbow machines and faced Empress Pei, who was standing far away. The eunuch said angrily: "Bold! Before he could react, he was suddenly shot through the chest with an arrow. Everyone didn't expect that so soon, the battle would come to an end.

Since Yuan Lie can come in like this, does it mean that the forbidden army outside is no longer a problem?

Seeing that King Xu led people into the main hall, Pei Hou and his party were also shocked and inexplicable!

Empress Pei looked at the farce below coldly, and her attitude was still calm and calm: "King Xu, you led the troops to openly break into the palace, did you want to collude with the Guo family and openly rebel?" ”

"Rebellion?" Yuan Lie smiled playfully, took out a roll of yellow silk cloth from his arms, "It's really not a coincidence, I just acted on orders, and this is written by the emperor himself, stamped with a seal......"

King Xu actually has a holy decree in his hand?!

Everyone's hearts were moving at this time, compared with the queen who had always had a bad relationship with the emperor, the holy decree in the hands of King Xu, who was trusted by the emperor, seemed to be more authentic!

Yuan Lie simply unfolded the yellow cloth silk directly and read it aloud: "King Xu Yuan Lie has a generous character, is loyal and patriotic, and is smart by nature...... I have issued an edict ordering him to temporarily manage the government and politics, and I hope that the ministers will assist them wholeheartedly! ”

He directly let the important ministers on the side read it, and after several old ministers glanced at it at a glance, they respectfully handed it back to Yuan Lie, and they all knelt down: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

"Get up!" Yuan Lie said lightly.

From this moment on, the person who really temporarily took charge of the government became King Xu Yuanlie, not the so-called queen.

"Empress Pei, you falsely preached the holy decree, and you still don't repent of it?" Yuan Lie stared at the bead curtain, word by word.

Empress Pei didn't seem to hear his words, she stared at Yuan Lie through the bead curtain without blinking, but she suddenly laughed, there was a hint of strangeness in her smile, and there was a little inexplicable gentleness.

What is she laughing at? Did you suddenly go crazy?

No one knows, and they don't want to know, everyone present clearly knows that the Pei family is completely finished at the moment, the holy decree in the hands of Queen Pei is fake, and the suppression of everyone by force is suppressed by others, is there still a chance to win now?

"If Niangniang is still waiting for the Pei family's reinforcements to arrive, this king advises you not to be delusional, General Pei Yuan has already been assassinated, and now the Pei family's army is leaderless, and it will be in chaos a long time ago." King Qin suddenly opened his mouth.

Empress Pei glanced at King Qin condescendingly and said, "You are not worthy to talk to me!" ”

"Take her down! Keep your mouth alive! Seeing that she still refused to be arrested, Yuan Lie ordered directly.

There was no movement in the bead curtain, and after everyone rushed over, they found that behind the curtain were just a few trembling palace maids and eunuchs, and Empress Pei had long since disappeared!

"Damn, how did she escape?!" Yuan Lie said angrily.

The entire palace was blocked by King Xu, King Jing, and King Qin, and all the eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines were not allowed to go out and walk around without permission, and the rest searched for the queen's traces everywhere.

"Lord Qiqi, I have never found any trace of Empress Pei!"

Hearing this news, Yuan Lie's first thought was to immediately block the whole city and prevent Empress Pei from escaping from the capital.

But at this time, if she can get out of the palace, she may not be able to get out of the capital, and she must not be allowed to escape!

Outside the imperial city, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. At this time of the early dynasty, the streets were deserted, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the quiet, which was really a bit shocking. Pei Shi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he looked back at the people behind him, secretly gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and said coldly: "Full speed ahead!" "In order to quickly take the lead, Pei Gang and Pei Yun brothers have already taken people to the palace first. But in order not to alarm the Guo family, King Jing and others, the people they brought were really limited, and they only selected some elites, and these horses behind Pei Shi were the trump cards in the hands of the Pei family! They sneaked into the vicinity of Dadu early, and while the morning was still dark, with the assistance of the city guards of the Pei family, they entered Dadu. Although there were thousands of men and horses, they were neat and orderly, and there was no sound except the sound of horses' hooves.

Before, because of the death of the prince, Empress Pei couldn't invite herself, and the younger generation of the Pei family's descendants all died, the Pei family had suffered a heavy blow, and had to shrink up, and it took so long to breathe a sigh of relief, if this mutiny can be successful, what if the prince has no Pei family's blood? Holding a puppet to the stage can still make the Pei family stand on top of the court again!

The adjutant general came over and said in a low voice: "General, someone has been sent to the front to investigate, and it is normal." ”

Although there should be no problem in the palace, you still have to be careful. Pei Shi looked at the direction of the palace, his heart was excited, but he still ordered: "Pass the order, go as originally planned!" ”

Looking at the sky, it was still very early. Entering the palace from here, the inside and the outside should be combined, and those disobedient people will be annihilated in one fell swoop, the time is definitely more than enough, at the gate of the palace, Pei Shi personally walked in front of the formation, waiting for the agreed signal. But before he had time to wait for any signal, tens of thousands of people had already poured out from the highlands and woods on both sides, showing the tail of a tiger winged dragon, and quickly surrounded the Pei family soldiers.

A person rode out on horseback, restrained the war horse dozens of steps away from Pei Hui, looked awe-inspiring, and said lightly: "Pei Shi, you brought troops to the imperial city, can you have an order from the military department?" ”

Pei Shi saw clearly that the person who came was Guo Su, the Duke of Qi who should have been captured, his expression changed greatly, and his murderous aura rose to the sky, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The Duke of Qi conspired against him, take down this person, and reward him heavily!" Before the words fell, he was already out of the sheath of his waist knife, urging the horse to slash towards Guo Su.

Although the elite soldiers of the Pei family are very good, most of the generals and soldiers brought by Qi Guogong are from the military, and they are good at fighting together, using the perfect military formation to divide the Pei family's army, no matter how poignant the blade is, it will not be able to resist the new Guo family army that is constantly pouring out, and there are fewer and fewer people in the Pei army.

Blood flowed down from Guo Cheng's face, the knife edge in his hand gradually curled, he instinctively swung the knife, and looked at the bloody corpse in front of him with cold eyes. However, in the time of a pillar of incense, the Pei family army, which was still bravely resisting, surrendered. Pei Shi even died of random arrows during the chaotic battle, and his body was cut off by a knife and hung high in front of the horse.

Guo Su once again divided his troops and sent a group of men and horses to the Xungui District immediately to assist the defenders in the city to maintain law and order. With this fight, the name of the Pei family's rebellion has fallen into the clear, and there is no need to scruple about them anymore.

The palace was chaotic, but the entrance of the Heart Cultivation Hall was quiet and weird. Pei Huaizhen raised his steps lightly, walked up the white marble steps, and walked towards the hall. At this time, the sun has risen high, and the dazzling light reflected on the glazed tiles also reflects the queen's eyes faintly shining. Everyone thought she was trying to escape from the palace, but instead of leaving, she came here.

In the main hall, incense was burning, and there was no one in the empty hall.

With a "squeak", she pushed the door of the dormitory open, and the light from outside poured in in an instant. The originally dim hall suddenly lit up, and a person stood with his back to her, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time! Pei Huaizhen walked in slowly, and stopped seven or eight steps away from Li Weiyang

"I didn't expect you to be quite bold, and the emperor's bedroom would dare to come in like this." Pei Huaizhen scoffed.

Li Weiyang didn't look at her either, but just glanced back at Emperor Yuexi, who was still sleeping on the dragon couch, and said with a smile: "It's so good to be a queen, it can make you willing to leave behind the dignity of the concubine of the family, make compromises, please in every way, and even use secret medicine to please men?" If it weren't for the Pei family's various secret methods to provide you, I'm afraid that Prince Yongwen wouldn't have a chance to be born, right? ”

After Li Weiyang finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Pei Huaizhen seemed to be angry, but calmed down: "You know very well where other people's weaknesses are, and you also know where to step on is the most painful." ”

Li Weiyang finally raised his head and stared at Pei Huaizhen: "How you are doing in the Yuexi Palace, I really don't need me to judge, but what you do in the Great Calendar is related to me...... Pei Huaizhen, let me ask you, did you send someone to kill my grandmother and mother? The scene used to be Li Weiyang's nightmare in the middle of every night, the blood on the ground, the lifeless faces, the corpses without temperature, the former relatives, turned into dust in a blink of an eye, Li Weiyang's eyes became sharp, staring at the woman opposite, and asked.

Pei Huaizhen sneered: "What if it's me? ”

Li Weiyang took a deep breath and said lightly: "I think that apart from you, no one will be able to find the person I want to protect so accurately. ”

Is it over?

Pei Huaizhen raised her eyebrows, and her phoenix eyes curved: "Really?" That's a shame. "But inside and outside the words, there is no regret at all." Anyway, I have avenged Anguo, what if you kill me, can those relatives of yours survive? Li Weiyang, you just had the last laugh, who is left around? But it's just a lonely person! What's more, since you have ventured into the palace today, you don't even have to do it anymore! ”

There were suddenly a few screams outside the hall, Li Weiyang's expression remained unchanged, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart, looking at the other party's expression with a faint sense of pride, I was afraid that he would have a back hand.

Pei Huaizhen saw her eyes fluttering, and she already knew that Li Weiyang had guessed it, so she couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Did you hear it, is the voice familiar?" Although this is his dormitory, there are also the manpower and mechanisms I have arranged, and none of the people you brought will leave here alive, and this place will also be your burial place! ”

Sure enough, as she spoke, several more screams rang out, and when the front and back were combined, there should be little left of the eighteen guards brought by Li Weiyang. Soon, a man in black walked into the inner hall and reported to Pei Huaizhen: "Yu Niangniang, my subordinates have checked, and the eighteen guards who are lying in ambush are all ambushed!" ”

Eighteen? Li Weiyang's eyes flashed.

Pei Huaizhen nodded, glanced at Li Weiyang with phoenix eyes, and smiled slightly: "Tie her up too, remember, treat her well." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Weiyang's voice sounded abruptly at this time.

"Pei Huaizhen, are you afraid?"

Pei Huaizhen looked at her with a sneer: "Could it be that you have anything else to say?" It's too late for me to want to hear it. ”

She said this, as if she wanted to see Li Weiyang's face show a look of fear, but to Pei Huaizhen's regret, Li Weiyang still had a calm expression when it came to the end, no, the corners of Li Weiyang's mouth were slightly hooked, and even showed a hint of mockery.

"Pei Huaizhen, your daughter is dead, and the prince is also dead, but they don't know until they die, their queen mother just uses them as chess pieces to play, and she doesn't really think about them! Princess Anguo is so arrogant and ruthless and unrepentant, isn't it deliberately connived at by you? What mother would pamper her daughter like that? And what mother who loves her daughter would let her daughter sell her lust to play with her courtiers? I really want to know what's going on inside of you and why you're doing it......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Although my relatives were killed by you, they all really cared for me and loved me, what about you? You have never loved your children, you have never enjoyed the so-called family affection, as for the Emperor Yuexi, your husband, how many points do you get from him? In his heart, maybe even the courtiers in the court are more important than you, and people like you are embarrassed to say that they are the mother of a country? Self-deception has reached the point of you, and it is really a realm. ”

"Pei Huaizhen, you are such a poor worm."

Pei Hou's eyes burst out with strong hatred: "So what? I am the queen he is marrying, I am the mother of this country in the west, except for me, who is worthy of sitting on this phoenix seat? ”

"The queen is just the last fig leaf, does he really regard you as a wife? Did he really love you? Even basic decency is just charity for the sake of the Pei family's face, what does it have to do with you? Li Weiyang's voice is leisurely, and his words are like knives.

"If it weren't for the Pei family, how could he have sat on the emperor's throne in the first place!" Pei Houliu's eyebrows furrowed deeply, his breath was slightly chaotic, and he was obviously really angry.

Li Weiyang's expression was calm, but he was counting the time in his heart. In fact, this time she came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and brought not eighteen people, but nineteen people, the eighteen dead people were the personal guards she brought, and the remaining one was the servant girl Zhao Yue whom she especially trusted. If during the period of his own procrastination, Zhao Yue moved in to help the soldiers......

But facts have proved that no matter how well Li Weiyang calculates, there will be uncontrollable accidents.

"What a smart boy, it's a pity that you're too tender to play tricks in front of me." Pei Huaizhen suddenly burst out laughing.

"I never plan to turn back, Li Weiyang, you can go to hell with me!"

Pei Huaizhen waved his hand, and several black-clothed people waved the fire fold in their hands, and in an instant, they lit the tents hanging on both sides of the palace, and the thing caught fire, and the fire spread rapidly.

Li Weiyang didn't expect the other party to do this, his face also changed, and in an instant, the surrounding curtains were already burning, and there was no need to stop it at all, looking at Pei Huaizhen standing there smiling as before, Li Weiyang felt that his hands and feet were cold. At such an important time, the other party does not want to escape, but wants to die with the emperor!

"Miss!" Zhao Yue's shout suddenly came from outside the hall, and Li Weiyang was overjoyed, but the current situation was still developing in an uncontrollable direction. She calculated a good thing, but she didn't expect that this woman would really fall in love with the emperor Yuan Jinfeng, because of her deep love, so at the last moment, the other party gave up the only chance to survive and chose to go to Huangquan with the people in this palace......

Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Jinfeng, who was lying unconscious on the dragon couch, and raised his eyes to look at Queen Pei.

"You're crazy." Even at the cost of his own life, he also dragged people to hell.

Pei Huaizhen didn't even look at Li Weiyang, and slowly walked to the emperor's side, gently touched his face, and smiled.

Li Weiyang looked at the guards guarding the entrance of the hall, and obviously saw the firelight, these people were also as motionless as statues, they were all dead soldiers carefully cultivated by Empress Pei, and they were still loyally carrying out the master's orders at this time, even if their master was going to die, they still continued to carry it out, without the slightest intention of retreating.

When Yuan Lie, who was found by Zhao Yue and told him about the situation, rushed to the outer hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, what he saw was the scene of the fire inside, and when he saw the raging fire inside, his heart almost stopped, if the news he got was true, then Weiyang should be inside at this time!

His face instantly lost blood, and then he rose up, entered the main hall in a few leaps, and rushed straight to the sleeping palace that was scorched by the flames, but he only had time to shout "Weiyang", and was locked by a killing intent, and had to draw his long sword and fight with the comer.

Li Weiyang looked over at this time, and at the moment when she saw Yuan Lie rushing over, her heart also stopped suddenly.

"Weiyang!"

The man flew in in the flames, his handsome face carried her familiar anxiety, and the moment he saw her safe and sound, his eyes lit up, but then he was blocked by the black-clothed man who came out from the side, and he fought. Through this burning wall of fire, Li Weiyang can still see the appearance of this young man, once upon a time, he has grown so big?

Her Yuan Lie has really grown up.

Although he had known this fact for a long time, when he suddenly felt that he might stay here forever through the fire at this moment, the only reluctance that arose was actually his ...... And seeing him appear at his most critical moment, the love that poured out was not worry, but joy......

"Everyone is here......" Pei Huaizhen smiled wantonly in the light of the firelight, her smile was extremely beautiful, her eyes locked on Yuan Lie, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Then she lowered her head and whispered in the emperor's ear, "See, your most precious son is here." ”

The black-clothed man came out one after another, Yuan Lie's way was blocked by the dead, his figure was several longitudinal, and his swordsmanship became more and more weird in his anxiety, and he saw the cold light flashing frequently. At the same time, Zhao Yue had just killed a man in black, and when she saw this, she hurriedly came over to support, but she was stumped again.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Yuan Lie in the fight was so anxious that he was cut off on his left shoulder without paying attention, and the blood gushed out at once, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on one knee on the ground, and several black-clothed people around him raised their swords and beckoned to him, Yuan Lie rolled on the spot at the critical moment, and the opponent's sword fell to the ground, splashing sparks in all directions, such a scene saw Li Weiyang's heart also mentioned. If this continues, they must all die here!

On the side of the fire, Li Weiyang's voice came out, at this time, she was still calm, only slightly anxious, but she didn't seem to be moved by her life and death, but simply urged him to leave.

"Yuan Lie, you go quickly!"

Yuan Lie didn't say a word, he stabbed one person again, and seeing that there was still some distance away from Li Weiyang, he was on tiptoe and rushed over.

The black shadow flashed sharply, and another person suddenly appeared, and the short blade in his hand slashed straight at Yuan Lie's vital point, and Yuan Lie could avoid it.

The fire in the hall is soaring, and things are constantly falling down on the main hall, and it seems that this place is about to become a fire field. The fire was blazing, and the light of the fire could be seen even from afar.

When someone heard the news, they rushed to see the scene of the flames soaring into the sky.

"The Heart Cultivation Hall is on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! Finally, someone shouted.

Jing Wang Yuanying, who brought people over, watched the people he brought fight with the people in black, looking at the billowing black smoke rising from the palace, his face was gloomy, and he no longer smiled like a spring breeze on weekdays.

Time waits for no one, in such a short period of time, the temple has been crackled by fire, Yuan Jinfeng in the dormitory woke up faintly, when he saw Yuan Lie rushing into the dormitory and fighting with the black-clothed man who chased in, his originally godless eyes immediately became sharp, and he suddenly jumped up from the bed, pushed Pei Hou away, and his body was extremely fast, killing the black-clothed dead man who was entangled with Yuan Lie in an instant. "Don't go yet!" Seeing that Yuan Lie looked at him with a shocked face, Yuan Jinfeng said coldly.

"You ......"

"What are you still doing? Don't take her away yet! Pushing Yuan Lie suddenly, Yuan Jinfeng ordered, "There is a tunnel here, you and her go out of the tunnel quickly!" As he spoke, he quickly pressed the mechanism next to the antique shelf, and a secret passage was revealed. At this time, the fire-burning wood that kept falling on it all indicated that the palace was about to collapse.

"Let's go!"

Seeing the reluctance on Yuan Jinfeng's face, Yuan Lie suddenly understood, and he shouted: "Father, don't!" wanted to catch the other party, but the other party used the last strength of his body to push him and Li Weiyang into the tunnel together.

Yuan Lie only felt a strong force push himself back, he subconsciously reached out, but before he could grab the other party, the entrance above had already closed. And the last sight he saw was Yuan Jinfeng wearing a yellow robe, standing on it, as if smiling at himself.

"Lie'er, live wellβ€”"

Until he could no longer see Yuan Lie, the sword in Yuan Jinfeng's hand kept stopping, like a blood-stained flower, blooming all over the chests and bodies of the people around him, and every blood flower burst out with the most beautiful style in the flames. Dirty black stains snaked on the ground, it was dried blood, but unfortunately, when he killed the last dead soldier with all his strength, he was no longer able to support his crumbling body, with a loud "boom", the Heart Cultivation Hall shook violently, and the beams and pillars above his head fell one by one, and one even hit his left leg, crushing him underneath.

The flames that soared to the sky had already surrounded the dormitory, and Yuan Jinfeng was scorching hot, and he barely crawled out from under the pillar with the last bit of strength, and moved towards the tunnel with difficulty, but at this time, Empress Pei suddenly pounced and clasped his shoulder. The emperor has long been unable to break free from her restraint, and gradually fell into the confusion before death, his eyes are blurred, as if the figure of the beloved woman has appeared, and the beloved Qi Xia is beckoning to him, and the woman's persistence in reality, the terrible insistence that has to pull him into hell, forced him to close his eyes resignedly.

In the firelight, Empress Pei's voice was soft, accompanied by crackling flames, and she spit out words like jade: "Yuan Jinfeng, the prince is the biological son of you and Qi Xia's slut." ”

The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Empress Pei in disbelief.

Empress Pei's smile was as quiet and beautiful as a girl: "Not only did you snub that child for many years, but you also killed your favorite son with your own hands." ”

"Nope! No! That's impossible! "The emperor changed color, Yuan Lie is so similar to Qi Xia, how could he not be their son!

Empress Pei smiled mysteriously and said softly: "This is the price you paid for deceiving me, remember, you said that you will live and die together and never live up to me." ”

The Emperor's frightened and angry eyes seemed to please her, and she burst out laughing.

The Emperor's chest rolled, and there were overlapping shouts of killing outside, shouts of screaming and struggling...... They all seemed to be far away from him...... In his world, only the other party's beautiful and poignant smile remained.

The flames gradually engulfed the two.

In the raging flames, it seemed that someone was laughing loudly, and the laughter was like a cry, which made people feel cold in their hearts when they heard it.

The mournful laughter, in the end, seemed to bring the joy of getting what it wanted, gradually lowered, as thin as a gossamer, and finally slowly disappeared into the raging flames.

And the era of Yuan Jinfeng has passed.

The entrance to the tunnel had long since been closed, and the voices outside had gradually become quieter. Li Weiyang was tightly held in Yuan Lie's arms, and those figures in the firelight gradually became blurred. At this time, Li Weiyang was inexplicably unable to retract his thoughts from the raging flames. Although Empress Pei's poignant laughter had disappeared, it still echoed in her ears and never dispersed for a long time.

Yuan Lie hugged her tightly, because Li Weiyang had injured his foot by a falling object before, and when Yuan Lie found out about this, he carefully picked her up, his figure was slightly unstable, and layers of fine beads of sweat appeared on his strange and handsome face, but despite this, he still did not put down the person in his hand.

In this life, he will not let go.

After the entrance of the tunnel was closed, the entire tunnel seemed to be swallowed by darkness, Yuan Lie felt the fire fold from his body, and at this time Li Weiyang had also come back to his senses, she gently pushed Yuan Lie, and said, "Let me down, I'll go by myself." ”

Yuan Lie didn't say anything when he heard this, but silently hugged her for a while, as if he was making sure that the person in his arms was fine. And Li Weiyang was just quietly let Yuan Lie hold him, and she saw his uneasiness and nervousness. Time passed slowly, as if a century had passed, before Yuan Yeol let go of her, but he still held her hand by hand.

Ten fingers are clasped, some words don't need to be said, but they can also warm the hearts of the two. Yuan Lie took down the torch from the wall, held it in his hand, and said to Li Weiyang:

"Let's go."

He led Li Weiyang and continued to walk deeper into the tunnel. The tunnel is not straight, but like a zigzag labyrinth, the two of them walked for a long time, only to arrive at a slightly spacious place, Yuan Lie used the torch in his hand to light up the surrounding torches, he helped Li Weiyang to sit down here.

"I didn't expect him to do this......" Won Yeol's handsome face seemed to be dyed with a complicated color.

Li Weiyang wiped the ashes on Won Yeol's face with his sleeve, but her hand was held tightly by Won Lie. His complicated feelings, his unwillingness to be born in him, Li Weiyang has always known, and at this time, she can feel the sadness in his heart. However, such a person is something she doesn't want to see.

"He has no regrets...... It's also very safe to go......" Li Weiyang shook Yuan Lie's hand with his backhand and said slowly.

Yes, Yuan Jinfeng left willingly, because he could finally meet the person he loved the most in his life. And Pei Hou ...... Li Weiyang was indifferent for a while, and then a barely noticeable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, after being reborn, she was calculating every day, calculating others, and calculating herself, but she was missing one thing, the easiest thing to discover, and the most neglected.

That's the human heart! So she didn't expect that Empress Pei would die with the emperor.

"Yes, I know!" Yuan Yeol rested his head on Li Weiyang's shoulder, just like when he was a child.

"Empress Pei...... And so it went! Yuan Yeol said indifferently.

"Yes! She also got her wish, although she couldn't get His Majesty's heart, but in the end she and His Majesty XiΓ  could be together forever......" Li Weiyang sighed a little.

She still underestimated Empress Pei, thinking that the reason why the Pei family has fallen to this point today is also due to Empress Pei. She is so deeply in love with Yuan Jinfeng, this deep love has penetrated into her soul, and it has made her love so much that she has lost herself, and it is precisely because of such a strong love that she watched Yuan Jinfeng conniving at the Pei family and conniving at her children's misdeeds, the purpose was to empty the power of the Pei family, but Empress Pei didn't care, even if the family was ruined because of Yuan Jinfeng's connivance, she didn't pay attention to it.

This qiΔ“ is just because she loves someone and loves the man who gave her supreme glory but made her heartbroken! Her cleverness, her calculations, her stratagem, her viciousness, her coldness...... Even her qiΔ“ is just for him, and it's just for him.

Presumably Empress Pei had expected today's situation, so she had already decided that no matter what the emperor became, whether he was crazy or dead, she would be with him.

It's just that there is no room for other things in her heart, what about the Pei family? What about Jiangshan Sheji? It's not as soft as that person's soft words to himself...... However, throughout her life, Empress Pei couldn't get Yuan Jinfeng's love, so even if she died, she had to take Yuan Jinfeng with her.

This fire may have burned down the Heart Cultivation Palace, but it fulfilled Empress Pei's greatest wish!

It's just that her wish is too heavy! Rao is Li Weiyang, and he had to be shocked.

"Oops!" Just thinking about things, Yuan Lie next to him suddenly squatted down with his legs as if he was in pain.

"What's wrong?" Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly leaned over and asked.

"Weiyang, my leg is injured, it hurts......" Yuan Lie said pitifully, and his eyes even showed a puppy-like aggrieved look.

"Let me see what's hurting." Li Weiyang's heart was shocked, and he was about to check his legs.

But he didn't want to be avoided by Yuan Lie, but he continued to say pitifully: "Don't! Don't look at it, I think this leg should be useless, if you see it, you will definitely feel distressed...... When the time comes......"

"......" Li Weiyang didn't speak, because she knew that Yuan Yeol would definitely continue to speak.

"When the time comes...... What if you feel guilty and want to make a promise? I...... Although I don't want to take advantage of others, I will definitely be tempted to agree......" Yuan Yeol raised his eyes to look at her, and his crystal black eyes were full of her.

The bright black eyes like stars made Li Weiyang stunned, and his stubborn expression of refusing to be alone in the sea of fire seemed to appear in front of him, the person in front of him was her Yuan Lie, she was alone, Li Weiyang's face slowly floated a beautiful smile like a summer flower, she looked at Yuan Lie in front of her steadily, and slowly said: "...... Okay, then you're ready to say yes. ”

She knew that Wonyeol's leg injury was faked, but ...... But it doesn't matter, this is the first time after being reborn, she decides to follow her heart and marry a man, to marry Yuan Yeol, who belongs only to her.

"You...... What did you say? Yuan Lie's originally smiling face froze for a moment, and then, in surprise, he asked, "Weiyang, you say it again, what did you just say?" Be...... Is that what you mean to promise me? Are you really ready to marry me? Did I hear me right? ”

Li Weiyang smiled and nodded, "You heard it right. ”

The indescribable joy of "Weiyang ......" instantly filled Yuan Yeol's limbs and bones, and the violently beating heart was about to overflow his chest. It took him a while to react, and he picked up Li Weiyang and spun around in place, "Great, Weiyang, you're mine-"

Most of them seem to be calm, but in just a few days, the situation has changed.

Now that the throne is vacant, the ministers of the court and most of the people are speculating about who will succeed the throne. Among all those who are qualified to inherit the throne, there is undoubtedly the strength of King Jing Yuanying, because he has the Guo family who holds the military power behind him, and Concubine Guo Hui. And many ministers of the DPRK and China are also quite jealous of the Guo family, and under the weighing of left and right, the heir to the throne seems to have been secretly finalized.

But...... After Pei Yuan's death, King Xu Yuanlie actually sent someone to take over all the Pei family's army, and killed twenty-three generals who refused to obey by thunder, and quickly took control of the situation. King Xu's support is also the key to who can ascend the throne.

The next day, Mrs. Guo entered the palace early in the morning. Although the Guo family felt strange, they didn't think about it deeply, just thought that Concubine Guo Hui had something to say to the Duchess of Guo.

In the dormitory, several palace maids stood with their heads bowed, Concubine Guo Hui sat on the soft couch, wearing a white dark fish-pattern satin skirt, her hair was combed very simply, and she only used two pairs of hairpins to pin, and the whole person looked extremely elegant. Now is the period of the emperor's new funeral, and the dress will naturally be different from usual, and the Duchess sitting on the stool next to her is the same, wearing a plain dark green dress and no accessories.

Not long after, a palace maid came over with a tray holding two lotus white porcelain tea bowls on the tray, which were soaked with the tea leaves that had been newly paid this year. The palace maid put the tea bowls on the coffee table beside Concubine Guo Hui and the Duchess of Guo, and then withdrew again.

"Concubine Hui, have you been in good health these days?" Mrs. Guo asked with concern, Concubine Hui's face was even more ugly than a few days ago.

"It's okay! It's just that His Majesty has died, and there are a lot of trivial things, but it took a lot of energy! Concubine Guo Hui said, but at the mention of the emperor, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Guo couldn't help but sigh quietly, after all, the first emperor and Concubine Guo Hui were husband and wife, and now that the first emperor is gone, how can she not be sad, but there will be a good life in the future. With the support of the Guo family, King Jing's succession to the unification is a matter of course, and Concubine Guo Hui will be the queen mother in the future.

"Looking at the Niangniang's Day of mourning, taking care of the phoenix body is the most important thing!"

"This is natural, in fact, I invited my sister-in-law into the palace today, and I also have something I want to discuss with my sister-in-law." Concubine Guo Hui picked up the tea bowl on one side, picked up the lid and took a sip gently, hiding the embarrassment in her eyes.
