Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cruel Answer
Mu Yunzhen looked at Zhang Qi and sneered: "Why are you talking to me about conditions?" And why should I promise you? ”
Zhang Qiyan buried his head heavily on the ground when he heard this, "The minister has followed His Majesty for 20 years, fought all the way to the present, and was seriously injured and dying many times, taking one city after another for you, even if you don't remember the merits of the minister, please remember that these ministers have sacrificed their lives and forgot to die for the sake of the Yehe country, let go of my parents and clansmen, and the ministers are willing to die to apologize." ”
Liu's father and Liu's mother, who were kneeling on the side, didn't know what mistake their son had made, and he was about to be executed by the emperor just after they met!
Mother Liu cried and begged: "Your Majesty, if Xiu'er does something rebellious, our two old guys are willing to take the blame for him, and I just ask the emperor to spare him from death!" ”
When Mu Yunzhen heard this, he let out a cold snort: "What a mother and son!" Then he said to Zhang Qi: "Zhang Qi, since you are bent on death, I will fulfill you!" Someone came, put Zhang Qi in the prison, and waited for him to be released. ”
After speaking, two guards walked into the house and dragged Zhang Qi out.
Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Qi, who was taken away, and cried loudly with his milk name: "Xiu'er, my Xiu'er, ......"
Seeing this, Chen Quan was afraid that they would upset the emperor, so he hurriedly ordered someone to take both of them down.
Mu Yunjing stood in place, looking at everything that happened, his mind was blank, what happened today completely subverted his cognition for more than ten years.
Mu Yunzhen looked at this person who had called him his father for more than ten years, and wanted to execute him together, but at the last moment, he was moved by compassion and said, "Mu Yunjing listens to the order. ”
Mu Yunjing knelt on the ground when he heard this, and said respectfully: "The son of the minister will take the order......
The sentence "son-in-law" made Mu Yunzhen's mood that had just calmed down, and he suddenly rose, and said with a long sigh: "Today, cut off Mu Yunjing's position as the king of Huaiyuan, demote him to a commoner, strip his royal family name, remove his name from the family tree, and distribute it to the frontier, and the descendants will never be allowed to return to the dynasty!" ”
All this happened very suddenly, Mu Yunjing was not prepared at all, and in the face of Mu Yunzhen's holy oracle, it seemed to be dreamy and unreal.
He let the guards drag him out, and his expression was sluggish the whole time, and he didn't say a word of rebuttal.
Mu Yunzhen looked at the empty room in an instant, and the indescribable loss and pain in his heart.
In order to seize the throne, he killed his brother and brother, killed all the way from Vermilion Bird Mountain to the Yehe Palace, and forced his father to death in public.
Mu Yunzhen had never regretted it before, but now he was a little tired, the corners of his mouth flashed with a self-deprecating wry smile, and he secretly said in his heart: "Is this his own retribution?" ”
Mu Yunzhen has been a thin heir since he ascended the throne, and there are more than 70 concubines in the harem, in addition to three adult princes, there are two princesses who are less than ten years old, and there is nothing after that. Now he found out that one of the sons was not his own, which made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
He remembered that when he had not yet ascended the throne, he had promised his wife Xuanyuan Lingyu that he would only marry her in this life, and he would not live up to her.
But I finally lost her after all, and now it seems that the retribution of this cut off children and grandchildren is coming!
Mu Yunzhen sat there with a sad expression, and muttered to himself, "Lingyu, are you punishing me?" ”
Mu Yunche on the house.
Bai Xiaoqi sat in the wheelchair that Mu Yunche bought for her, confronting Xiao Hei in front of her.
Xiao Qi held a half-eaten carrot in his hand and pointed to Xiao Hei on the opposite side and said, "You, you, don't come here!" If you dare to come, I'll invite you to eat a carrot, so black, can you eat a carrot, don't, don't eat me......"
Saying that, Xiao Qi took the carrot and shook it in front of Xiao Hei a few times, and then threw it aside, Xiao Hei subconsciously wanted to chase it.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqi hurriedly turned the wheelchair and wanted to leave, but he didn't think that the wheel was stuck, and when Bai Xiaoqi turned in a panic, he tilted the wheelchair to the side and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Xiao Qi lay on the ground, looking at the wheelchair pressed on his body, struggling hard, but he didn't want to be crushed, he couldn't get up at all, and then looked at the little black, he didn't leave to chase any carrots at all, he was sitting there tilting his head and looking at Bai Xiaoqi who was embarrassed, as if mocking him.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoqi was scared and annoyed, carefully grabbed the flower pot on the side to block his face, and muttered carefully: "Can't see me, can't see me......"
At this moment, a pair of white brocade boots that were not stained with dust appeared in front of her, Bai Xiaoqi looked up along the white robe, but saw Yun Ze's face that did not eat the fireworks of the world.
Bai Xiaoqi looked at Yun Ze and smiled awkwardly: "Master, why are you here......"
Yun Ze didn't say anything, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, leaned over and picked up Bai Xiaoqi on the ground, and without saying a word, walked towards a guest room.
Xiao Qi was a little uncomfortable when he saw this, and said, "Master, you let me down, I can go by myself!" ”
Yun Ze ignored her, put her on the bed, and was about to reach out to take off the boots on Xiao Qi's feet, but Xiao Qi subconsciously retracted his feet.
Yun Ze's hand paused in the air, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some pain: "Is it so raw now?" ”
"No, no......" Xiao Qi turned his head away, looked away, and said a little unnaturally, "Master, why are you here?" ”
"I took some medicine from the Medicine King Valley, which can help you recover from the injury on your foot......" Yun Ze had recovered to his previous coldness and indifference at this time, took out a bottle of medicine and put it on Xiao Qi's bed, and said lightly.
"Thank you, Master......" Xiao Qi sat there and said respectfully, although his faith in Yun Ze had been shaken, he was still grateful to Yun Ze for taking care of them over the years, and in her heart Yun Ze would always be her master.
In fact, Yun Ze originally wanted Qin Yu to come for him, but he couldn't help the longing in his heart, and he didn't want to give Qin Yu this opportunity to visit Xiao Qi, he was afraid that if he missed it for a while, someone would take Xiao Qi away from him, and he was really afraid of losing it......
Looking at Xiao Qi's alienated appearance, Yun Ze felt a faint pain in his heart, but he could only pretend that Yun was light and light, and it was good to see that she was fine, and he should leave......
At the moment when Yun Ze turned to leave, Bai Xiaoqi opened his mouth and asked, "Master, did you participate in the battle of immortals and demons fourteen years ago?" ”
Bai Xiaoqi's question made Yun Ze's heart tighten, and he stood there with his back to Xiao Qi, not daring to turn around to look at her, for fear of seeing her disappointed eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”
"Then does Master know that my real name is Xuanyuan?" Bai Xiaoqi opened her mouth again and asked, there were some things she would rather believe that Nie Chuhe was lying to herself, and she would rather believe that Yun Ze had never participated in any immortal and demon battles......
"Know ......" Yun Ze's heart was like a knife at this time, his hands were tightly clenched in the sleeves of his robe, and he squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.
He wanted to lie and say that he didn't, but these things are known to everyone in the world, and how long can he hide them, rather than she will hate herself for knowing the truth in the future, it is better for her to cut off the idea of finding the truth now.
Sometimes he really regretted letting her go down the mountain, letting her get hurt again and again, and torturing himself again and again, he just wanted to take her back to Cuilin Yuan, lock her up, and only guard himself for the rest of his life.
Yun Ze's answer instantly shattered the last trace of trust in Xiao Qi's heart, and she endured the anger and despair in her heart and asked again: "Since you know my surname is Xuanyuan, why didn't you kill me, is it to get Xuanyuan's order?" ”
Yun Ze turned around angrily when he heard this, and there was no longer the previous indifference in his eyes, "You actually suspect me that I am here?" ”
Bai Xiaoqi smiled sadly, "Isn't it?" Everyone in the world hates Xuanyuan, and they all want to kill him quickly, why are you different? What is it if it is not for the Xuanyuan Order? ”
"If I say it's only for you, will you believe it?" Yun Ze closed his eyes in pain, and his mouth was bitter.
"For me? For my sake, you slaughtered me all over the house with all the fame and righteousness you have done, killed my parents, and tortured me in all kinds of ways? Bai Xiaoqi asked sharply, and a chill swept through his body.
Yun Ze was speechless by her questioning, and it took a long time to say bitterly from his mouth, "Xiao Qi, I have never failed you......"
Xiao Qi grabbed the medicine bottle in his hand and threw it at Yun Ze, "I don't want your charity, you go!" ”
Yun Ze didn't pick up the fast-flying medicine bottle, let it smash on his forehead, a drop of blood slowly slid down his cheek, Yun Ze didn't pay attention to it, looked at Xiao Qi deeply and turned around and left the room.
After Yun Ze left, Bai Xiaoqi sat on the bed, hugged her knees, buried her head deep in the crook of her arm, she wanted to cry loudly, but there was not a single tear, her tears had long been dried in her painful childhood.
At this time, all she was given was endless cold, and the beauty of being shattered, and the blood-drenched reality was displayed in front of her eyes like this, so that she did not dare to look at it directly.
Even so, at this time, Bai Xiaoqi still had the last illusion about Yun Ze in her heart, her master was gentle and pure, maybe he couldn't do such a bloodthirsty and ruthless thing at all, maybe he was just forced to participate in that war, and he didn't kill anyone in the Xuanyuan family at all.
She just rushed to Yun Ze to get angry just but couldn't accept his answer for a while, the scenes of getting along with Yun Ze in the past kept emerging in front of her eyes, she still had the last illusion about Yun Ze, but Yun Ze's answer destroyed her trust, and the two emotions were entangled in her heart, tearing each other, making her almost collapse......
Mu Yunche stood outside the door of Bai Xiaoqi's room, and heard the conversation between the two clearly, he really couldn't bear to go in and say something to her, for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so she fell down like this......
In fact, he still knows a little about the truth of the year, and he has also thought about taking revenge on the hundred schools of Xianmen, but with his own slight power, if he wants to fight with the hundred schools of Xianmen, it is tantamount to shaking the tree and hitting the stone with an egg.
She is like this herself, not to mention Bai Xiaoqi, who has just entered the rivers and lakes, in the face of these behemoths of the Hundred Schools of Xianmen, what can she do, rushing up is only to die!
Mu Yunche, who thought that there was no Xuanyuan clan in the world, felt very kind when he saw Bai Xiaoqi, and he had long regarded her as his closest person, even if he sometimes calculated him, he would definitely leave her a way to live, and he would not let her die in vain.
In Mu Yunche's opinion, he would rather Bai Xiaoqi not know anything, because he didn't want Bai Xiaoqi to be like himself and embark on the road of no return to revenge!
His own revenge is to be the enemy of the entire Night River Country, if Bai Xiaoqi is revenge, then he will be the enemy of the whole world, and he is doomed to be doomed!
