"Where is the emperor?"

Cheng Yuan entered the palace this time, and for some reason he was always a little apprehensive in his heart, he looked at the eunuch beside him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

When the eunuch heard this, he only showed a smirk, he lowered his head and didn't say anything, just smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, you are an important minister, the emperor called you into the palace, there must be something important to explain to you." ”

After being stunned for a moment, Cheng Yuan was still a little uneasy.

When he saw Xiao Yechen with a cold face, the uneasiness in his heart finally turned into substance.

"Cheng Yuan, are you guilty?"

Xiao Yechen looked at Cheng Yuan who walked in, there was a sour feeling in his heart, Cheng Yuan was old, his hair was gray, even his eyebrows had become pale, and he was even a little trembling when he walked.

Seeing this, Xiao Yechen's heart couldn't help but be sour, and Du Yan couldn't bear it when she saw it, but what should be said and the sins that should be punished still have to be done.

Cheng Yuan listened to Xiao Yechen's question, and immediately knelt down, he looked up at Xiao Yechen, there was no trace of panic in his eyes, as if he had expected this matter.

"Your Majesty, what crime do you want to punish your ministers?"

"You colluded with Xiao Wenqing with the intention of assassinating Yu Zhen, do you still need me to remind you of this matter?" Xiao Yechen threw all the things that Leng Yan had investigated these days, and even some letters, into Cheng Yuan's face.

After doing this, Xiao Yechen was still not angry, he sat on the dragon chair, and said bitterly: "Cheng Yuan, why are you doing this?" ”

Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed sarcastically, his old but shrewd eyes showed such a clear disdain for the first time: "Your Majesty, don't you know the reason why I did this?" ”

"It's just because of Cheng Muyang, Cheng Muyang should be damned!" Xiao Yechen was even more disappointed, "As the first assistant of the cabinet, don't you know how big the mistakes Cheng Muyang has made?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has only one son, and Cheng Muyang is my only grandson!" Cheng Yuan shook his head, as soon as he thought that Mu Yang's blind head was in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned red, "The three generations of ministers are single, just such a single seedling, but you don't even give him a chance!" Have I done less for the Chu State over the years?

It's just a few civilians! There are thousands of civilians in the world, but there is only one person with such talent as me! For the sake of those stupid civilians with low status, you disregarded my thoughts and directly executed Mu Yang! Do you know how uncomfortable your ministers were then? ”

"Master Cheng! Cheng Muyang damn it! The emperor is fair and just, even if he changes the children of the royal family, the emperor will never show mercy. Du Yan looked at Cheng Yuan's sad face, and suddenly felt nauseous, when Cheng Yuan said this, did he think about the feelings of those so-called civilians? There is no one more noble in this world!

Cheng Yuan listened to Du Yan's words, and a pair of red eyes suddenly looked at Du Yan, and he said hatefully: "It's all you woman!" ”

"Your Majesty! You disregard the face of the family for this woman, what help can she bring you? ”

"Du

The house has fallen! What else can she take advantage of! If you had listened to the ministers at that time and accepted the harem, the ministers would not have done such a thing! ”

Cheng Yuan looked like a mad demon at this time, he stared at Du Yan above, his eyes were full of hatred.

Xiao Yechen heard this, but he felt extremely ridiculous, and only said coldly: "Cheng Yuan, not everything in this world is to be exchanged for benefits, I am different from you. ”

Hearing Cheng Yuan's words, Xiao Yechen already understood the reason why he cooperated with Xiao Wenqing, and it was really for the future of the Cheng family!

If he accepts the harem, the woman of the Cheng family will definitely be selected, and if he gives birth to a prince, the Cheng family can continue to prosper! But he clearly rejected this proposal, only thinking about being a couple with Du Yan for the rest of his life, Cheng Yuan couldn't see hope, so he simply turned to Xiao Wenqing.

Cheng Yuan did not deny this, he stood in place, his eyes were full of waves, and he was not moved at all by Xiao Yechen's words.

"Your Majesty, if you want to kill or chop, the minister has no complaints."

"Do you think you're the only one?"

Xiao Yechen was already extremely angry, he sneered, and said, "What I want, it's not your life!" What I want is the lives of all the Cheng family! ”

Cheng Yuan's eyes finally had a hint of change, he had worked hard for so many years, just for the Cheng family, but now, even the Cheng family is gone?

"Go down! Cheng guy and the anti-thief Xiao Wenqing assassinated me, the crime is unforgivable, the Cheng family, regardless of men, women and children, do not care about killing! ”

Xiao Yechen looked at Cheng Yuan in front of him coldly, and there was no emotion in his heart.

"Miss!"

Cheng family, a maidservant hurriedly walked into an elegant courtyard, looked at Cheng Xiaoyan who was embroidering inside, and hurriedly said: "The emperor has issued a holy decree to raid the house!" ”

"Shhh

After Cheng Xiaoyan heard this, her fingers were immediately pierced by sharp needles, she looked at the maidservant and said in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

"Miss, the lord rebelled and has been killed in the palace, Mr. asked me to take you out quickly, and when the officers and soldiers arrive, the Cheng family will die here!"

As the servant girl spoke, she hurriedly stepped forward and threw the clothes she was holding in her hand, "Miss, change your clothes, and the slave will take you out!" ”

Cheng Xiaoyan's thoughts finally returned to clarity at this moment, she immediately changed her clothes, her face did not show any intersecting nervousness, the maid carefully probed out, and there were already some sounds of killing in the front yard.

"Miss, while the officers and soldiers have not yet come in, you can escape through the secret passage!"

The maid immediately pulled Cheng Xiaoyan and wanted to take her away, Cheng Xiaoyan hurriedly took out a golden hairpin from the jewelry box, and finally fled with the maid in a hurry.

But when they arrived at the study, the officers and soldiers had already arrived in the backyard, and when the maid saw this, she immediately pushed Cheng Xiaoyan into the study, with determination in her eyes.

"Miss, the adults are gone, the husband is gone, and now the entire Cheng family is only

You're alone! You must survive and avenge the Cheng family! ”

"I ......" Cheng Xiaoyan looked at the maidservant in front of her, but she didn't know what to say.

The maidservant didn't care about this, she put a jade pendant in Cheng Xiaoyan's hand.

"This is the jade pendant that commands the dead soldiers of the Cheng family, as long as you have this jade pendant, the more than 100 dead soldiers are at your disposal, and from now on, you will be the only master of the Cheng family!"

After saying this, she drew the long sword at her waist and blocked the door of the study, and the officers and soldiers who came were quickly stopped by her in the courtyard.

She finally looked back at Cheng Xiaoyan, the determination in her eyes made Cheng Xiaoyan's heart move, she covered her chest, held the jade pendant in her hand firmly, and walked into the secret passage alone without saying a word.

The jade pendant in her hand seemed to have the body temperature in the handmaid's hand, Cheng Xiaoyan said in her heart, she would definitely avenge them!
