"I have asked you to your face, and I have watched you, but you are not in the same heart, and you refuse to tell me the truth. It's not that I didn't think that you had the idea of rebellion, but I didn't understand why you still had to make such a decision, even a three-year-old child in the world knew that this country would definitely be yours in the future. So although I doubted it, I never wanted to believe it. After Lu Xingyuan came out of the secret passage, I was thinking, if you came to ask me about this secret passage, it would mean that you have no evil thoughts in your heart, but you didn't come to ask me, I waited for a long time, and you never came, I was very disappointed......"

"Hmph, my mother is really suspicious, does my mother still suspect that Lu Wenchi was also secretly killed by me?"

"That's not true, Lu Wenchi probably didn't kill him. Not only have I watched you with mind-contemplation, but I also know that according to your temperament, I will not stop and blame Lu Wenchi alone, which is also a bit strange for me. ”

"But after all, my mother still believed that I would do it."

"How can I not believe it? I tested you step by step, just to clear my heart of suspicion of you, but every time you disappointed me. I made up for the lack of Hubu Shangshu by Zhao Wuyin, you don't say it on your face, you are overjoyed in your heart, and when you turn around, you let him recommend his henchmen to Ren Qingzhou prefect to smuggle gold ingots for you. Lu Wenchi smuggled gold ingots to fill his pockets, what are you for? Which penny of this country is not our Zhu family, if you want to smuggle it, what else can you do except want to hide it from me for other purposes? As soon as I named Liu Mingyan as the king of the county, and the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion gained power, you used Nanhua's gold ingots to pull Liu Mingyan to form a private alliance with you, not only transported the gold ingots for you, but also borrowed 10,000 soldiers from her Baisha battalion! These 10,000 soldiers can be mobilized without my Tiger Talisman, and if you borrow them to Taiye City, what can you do if you don't want to deal with me? ”

"And you believed?"

Emperor Ming shook his head and said: "You are my daughter, and I raised you single-handedly, even at this point, I still have luck and don't close the coffin so easily." However, you have intensified, and in the name of merging the Northern Expedition, you have secretly united with Emperor Wen to borrow troops from him to deal with me! Do you know that doing so is tantamount to luring a wolf into the room when you are in the same room? ”

"Emperor Wen...... How did you know about this? ”

"Emperor Wen has already sent a handwritten letter."

"I don't believe it...... I don't believe it! It has only been a few days since Mu Yunzuo sank to the bottom of the river by the Hanjiang River, how could his letter be faster than my 800-mile urgent military report? Zhu Zhiling was horrified.

"How can the eight-hundred-mile urgent military report compare to the pigeon harrier of Cangwu Country?"

"Pigeon Harrier? Where did I get the pigeon harrier from the blue sea country? ”

"The last time Ye Zhiqiu came to Taiye City to plead for your second sister to marry, he sent more than a dozen pairs of rare birds, and I gave them to the relatives of the royal family, giving you a red-headed parrot, giving a brocade mandarin duck to Xiao'er, and leaving a pair of pigeon harriers...... I kept it for myself. ”

Zhu Zhiling felt that the world was spinning, and it turned out to be ...... It turned out that since then, Emperor Wen had secretly communicated with his mother.

But why? Although he sent Yinhua to send a letter to Emperor Wen to explain the borrowing of troops, Yinhua didn't know that he planned to sink Mu Yunzuo in Hanjiang at that time, even if Yinhua and Tiehua were the same, they had only obeyed their orders on the surface and turned against their mother, or even if the two of them were sent by their mother to monitor them at the beginning, they could have directly told their mother everything they had done, so why did their mother need to guess everything by herself, instead of being told by Shuanghua?

Emperor Ming took out a finger-long cylinder from his sleeve, took out a piece of paper from it and threw it in front of Zhu Zhiling.

"You are seeking skin with the tiger, only because you are smart, but you don't know that you have already been taken advantage of by others. The most important thing for us Bihai people to do business is to pay for both goods and silver. You first exposed your hole cards to Emperor Wen, then Emperor Wen is not a fool, since he knows that you will do something to Mu Yunzuo in Hanjiang, how can he lend you soldiers? Right now, he only needs this letter, and he can get rid of you with my hand, which is a profitable business, only you are kept in the dark and don't know it! ”

Emperor Ming said that his face was angry again, but this time he was angry. Seeing that the daughter of the successor who was carefully raised and raised lost in this contest with Emperor Wen, which made Emperor Ming's self-esteem shameless.

Zhu Zhiling trembled and unfolded the scroll of paper, which really clearly wrote the conspiracy between Emperor Wen and herself, and at the end it was mentioned that "the oath of the two countries will not be broken for a hundred years, and they will never do treachery in the same room." "Wait for high-sounding words, and sell yourself cleanly.

Zhu Zhiling is actually such a stupid person, she naturally understands the truth of what her mother said, but she can't think of how Emperor Wen knew her plan in advance. Now that the pigeon harrier is here, she can't argue if she wants to deny it.

"It turned out that it was Emperor Wen's personal letter that confirmed his daughter's plan ......."

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a letter from Emperor Wen or not. Without his letters, I would have been aware of your thoughts. With his letters, I will continue to give you a chance to turn back. I was so naughty that I didn't return for a long time, but you took the opportunity to ignore me and deliberately didn't look for it, so that I could become depressed. So I just laid down in the palace and saw what you were going to do. But what I didn't expect was that no matter how sick I was, you wouldn't even look at me. At that time, I looked at the sky and asked myself...... Ask yourself what exactly you have done that makes you so heartless. ”

Emperor Ming's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Later...... I asked the heavens, did she really want to take this step? Don't you want to turn back until you get this far? If I get sicker and cough harder, she only needs to come in and visit once, and she will be able to find some clues, will she be able to stop? ”

Zhu Zhiling was stunned, she didn't expect her mother to have such thoughts, she thought that Emperor Wen was the key to her defeat, but now it sounds insignificant.

"But what I didn't expect was that I made the old woman outside cough heavily, and instead you went to the Wanshou Altar to pray for blessings in the name of this...... Alas, what blessing is this prayer for? You can't wait to tell the world, I'm about to die, it's time for the person in charge of this blue sea to change, right? I really paid for this piece of painstaking work......

"Painstaking?" Zhu Zhiling said hatefully: "I'm afraid that my mother's hard work has been used in those secret passages." ”

Emperor Ming couldn't help choking up when he heard this, and raised his voice: "You evil obstacle, you still don't know how to repent until now!" I don't close the engine in the secret passage, can I watch your thousand elite soldiers press me in this palace and let you do evil? Even if I knew that you were going to force the palace with soldiers, I remembered that you were weak and weak in spirit, and I still wanted to leave you a way back, so I left Lu Wenbiao to guard the Taiye City Gate in person. I don't know how you got past him, but I personally told him to keep you out of the gates tonight anyway, so that you could avoid the night's misfortune. I originally planned that as long as it was tomorrow and I kissed Fuxingtai, I would decree that you would be temporarily recuperated from the regents, so that you could find a more decent reason to think about it. No matter what, I don't want to tear my face with you, but you ...... You don't know what to do, you insist on acting recklessly, and you make this irreparable mistake tonight! ”

Zhu Zhiling suddenly seemed to be smiling, as if she was laughing at Emperor Ming, and as if she was laughing at herself.

"It turns out that my mother has long understood everything, only I am still in a dream, and even the golden feather double flower that I think is my confidant is also the mother queen's person."

"I am the monarch of the blue sea, let alone Shuanghua, the entire Golden Feather Camp is under my control, how can I only obey you? Tiehua reported all your plans to me in advance out of loyalty to me, which is the right principle that will not change through the ages, so what's so strange? ”

Zhu Zhiling turned his head to look at Tie Hua, and asked teasingly: "After the matter is completed, what did the mother emperor promise to seal you?" Command? Admiral? Or a hussar general? So that you will forsake me? ”

Tie Hua was silent, only looking at Emperor Ming with an expressionless face still standing with a gun.

"Now that I've done it, and I'm here, what will my mother do with me?"

"You...... Are you wrong? Emperor Ming asked sharply.

"I don't know, I don't know, can a daughter's words change her mother's mind?"

"But I just want you to say this!"

"Becoming a king and defeating a villain, my daughter just regrets that she is still shallow, if it is a few years later, there will be no defeat tonight."

Emperor Ming was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "You are honest...... Yes, if you go through a few more years, I may not be able to hold you down. But if you know, why rush to this moment? ”

Zhu Zhiling lowered her head and looked at her lower abdomen silently.

"If the daughter is not in a hurry, I am afraid that as soon as this child is born, she will have no father......."

Emperor Ming was so shocked that he took a step back, and only then did he stand firm by holding the corner of the case with one hand, and said in a trembling voice:

"You...... What do you know? How do you know? ”

"The daughters who should know know all about it, and there is no need for my mother to wait until she wants to pass it on to me before forcing me to kill the colt." Zhu Zhiling sneered and said, "What's more, my daughter has already sent Wuyun out of Taiye City, and now it's too late to chase after her." ”

Zhu Zhiling exhaled softly.

Immense, at least ...... I have protected you thoroughly, but tonight your fate and I have ended, and there is no day to see each other, but I hope that you can spend the rest of your life in peace when you go to the end of the world.

She looked out the window unconsciously, the cold moon was thin, like silver and water, and everything was quiet.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound in front of him, and Zhu Zhiling heard the sound of jade breaking in front of him.

She fixed her eyes and saw that a familiar hosta that could no longer be familiar was the one she had on his head before sending Zhao Wuyin away, which was thrown by Emperor Ming and fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

For a moment, she felt as if she was frozen, but soon she began to tremble again, and even her lips and teeth trembled up and down. Immediately afterward, a shrill cry like a female ghost pierced the silence of the night, so tragic that it seemed to tear the throat.

On the stump of the hosta, the congealed blood has turned into ink!
