Next Chapter

Slightly cool on the face.

Something splashed down from the air.

Raindrop?

When he opened his eyes, his brain was dizzy and heavy, as if there were thousands of children laughing and playing in his head, pulling each other and giving him a headache.

He couldn't help but curse himself.

"Why did you break your vows when you said you quit drinking?"

This state of his body reminded him of the feeling of waking up with a hangover when he was young.

Then, with a shake, the body shook involuntarily, and the world in front of me, which had become gradually clear, blurred again, and spun like a kaleidoscope.

Fly!

He's flying!

The person flew up in the air, he was suddenly awake in a daze, the spinning world became clear, in the main hall, people ran around like headless flies, all of them looked anxious, and from time to time there were screams, moans, and roars echoing in his ears, as if they were coming from a very high and far place, and they couldn't be heard clearly.

Subconsciously wave your arms to maintain your body's center of gravity.

After all, it was useless, and with the blessing of a strong force, he flew forward like a cannonball, never looking back, which reminded him of a rare roller coaster ride. That feeling of being uncontrollable, he thought he would never experience again in his life, after all, not everyone likes to throw themselves out of the air.

Light!

Sword light!

It was as if a meteor passed through the sky, piercing the sky and falling down, the tip of the sword instantly became larger in front of him, mixed with the cold light of the forest, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

Then, there is gaze.

The gaze is like a sword.

Indifferent, ruthless, and absolute......

God prevents and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, even if mountains and rivers stand in the way, I will split it with a sword!

He smiled.

He couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, reality or a dream, there wasn't much he could do, he could only smile, raise his hand, wipe his face, and one hand was bright red.

Laugh at......

There was a sound of breaking the air on one side.

A porcelain plate flew in an oblique thorn, mixed with a vicious wind, and flew towards the woman holding the sword, the woman's eyes were sharp, the sword light changed, and with a slight blow, the porcelain plate was hit.

The porcelain plate was split in half by the tip of the sword and fell silently.

Fly!

He's still flying forward!

It flew towards the sword-wielding girl, like a moth to a fire.

Just then, a dark shadow rushed over and grabbed him.

He was grabbed by the man, and the whole person lost the momentum of rushing forward, lost the strength to continue flying forward, and fell from the air.

"Bang!"

The body fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

I didn't feel much pain, and under my body was a thick woolen carpet, embroidered with bright peony flowers, blooming one by one, showing a rich and flashy atmosphere.

Within sight, leap into a pair of shoes.

Shoes looming under the hem of the red dress embroidered with gold patterns are raised high at the tip, like the bow of a boat. There are a pair of pearls tied to them, which should be large pearls from the South China Sea, round and clear. The shoes are embroidered with many gold threads, forming very cumbersome patterns, like animals, like birds......

Keep your head up.

His eyes fell on the owner of the shoes, a woman wearing a red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown.

Plump lips and nose, high forehead, eyebrows flying up like swords, inserted into the temples, a pair of red phoenix eyes, not angry but mighty, at this moment, the eyes are slightly squinted, the gaze falls on the front, revealing ruthlessness and indifference, it is a kind of alternative loftiness, just like all living beings should be prostrate at her feet.

Turn around and sit down on the carpet.

Looking to the other side, the man who had thrown the porcelain plate earlier and ripped him off the air jumped into view.

It was a woman in a blue dress, with a high bun on her head, and a golden hairpin in it, and she had a pale little face, with a pointed nose, small lips, thin willow eyebrows, eyes like pearls, and a thousand emotions in her eyes, desolate, sad, resentful, and terrified......

The woman made him feel familiar.

The woman turned her head to look at him, and her emotions turned to a hint of absoluteness.

"Death to the witch!"

With a loud shout, the sword-wielding woman rushed in.

The woman in Tsing Yi resolutely turned around, blocking in front of him, and held her chest open to meet the cold tip of the sword that stabbed at him.

For some reason, his heart ached.

It's like losing something precious!

In his mind, countless pictures came one after another, as if the uninvited villain, regardless of his wishes, in an instant, his head was full, and at that moment, his head was like a wrench.

Something is going to explode.

He looked down tremblingly and saw his hands.

Pale as paper, blood as plum.

How could this be their own hands?

"Flutter!"

The sound of the blade piercing through the flesh sounded softly in the ears, followed by a moan, it was the sound of life gradually leaving the body, despair and nothingness, empty, the sound echoed in the ears, like the only sound that existed in the world, in this sound, countless scenes, countless pictures fused together.

Trembling, trembling all over, trembling uncontrollably......

Du Rui ......

I'm Du Rui......

I don't have a mother......

He whispered to himself!

……

In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, May 15.

This day is the 40th birthday of Empress Guo of the Tang Dynasty.

She is the lord of the harem of the Tang Dynasty court and the wife of Yingzong Du Zhen, who reigned for 17 years; is also the eldest daughter of Guo Linggong, the only king of the opposite sex in the Tang Dynasty, who once saved the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty; is also the biological mother of the crown prince Du Xian; She is Guo Yuqi, the noble daughter born of the legendary phoenix in the house.

At the end of the Shen period, a flock of black crows flew over the Daming Palace.

When Empress Guo moved to the Wanshou Palace to receive the birthday congratulations of the princes and princesses, at the gate of the Danfeng Palace, a palace maid rioted and launched an assassination.

The palace maid's martial arts were very strong, and in an instant, she rushed through the protection of the guards and killed Queen Guo.

When the assassination occurred, Du Rui was a little farther away, and he fell under the push and squeezing of everyone, injuring his face, and his face was bloody.

He was different from the other underage princes, who were still being educated at the court, but he had already been sent out of the court. Moreover, instead of living in the Ten Princes' Mansion with an adult prince, he prayed for blessings at a Taoist temple called Genzhenkan, far from the imperial city.

Usually, the errand of going to Daming Palace on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month to ask for peace is also exempted, and gradually, it seems that it does not exist.

Queen Guo is alive and has her fortieth birthday, and all the princes and princesses must come to celebrate her birthday.

Even Du Rui is no exception.

Therefore, he entered the Daming Palace early in the morning, accompanied by Wei Yue, and waited in a side hall, waiting for the birthday ceremony, and then went out of the palace after the birthday.

Before three o'clock, a eunuch came to give an order, saying that Empress Guo had summoned him to Danfeng Palace.

Du Rui's biological mother, Mrs. Shu, was originally a small palace maid from Shu who worked in the Huanbai Courtyard, and later, she was transferred to the Danfeng Hall to serve Queen Guo.

Serving the present day and giving birth to Du Rui, everything is arranged by Queen Guo.

When she was favored today, she was infinitely beautiful, and when she was disgusted by today and sent into the cold palace, she was disliked, but no matter what state she was in, she served Queen Guo as before.

This time, naturally, he also stayed by Queen Guo's side as before.

It was also under her pleading that Empress Guo summoned Du Rui to Danfeng Hall and let her see this biological child who she hadn't seen for more than a year.

I don't want to, but I put my son in danger.

It was the leader of the Danfeng Hall who threw Du Rui over, and the eunuch was in flames.

At that time, he was a little far away from Queen Guo and couldn't be rescued, and Du Rui was close at hand, so in a hurry, he grabbed Du Rui, who had just gotten up from the ground and looked in a trance, and threw him towards the assassin.

This is typical of the following Ling.

However, Beacon City knows in his heart that he actually wants Du Rui to disappear now, this child is a shame for him, otherwise, he would not have driven Du Rui out of the palace, and if he does this, he may be punished on the surface, but in fact, it is not a big problem.

After throwing Du Rui out, Beacon City took a deep breath, his body swelled up as if inflated, and then, like a big bird, flew up and swept past silently, like a ghost, a person in the air, a small embroidery needle had already flown out from the tip of his finger.

The other end of the embroidery needle is connected with a thread that wraps around the ring on the index finger of the right hand.

At this time, the assassin's long sword pierced into Lady Shu's chest.

Very good!

The timing is perfect!

A prick and a pluck will also delay some time.

He was able to arrive in time to stop the Assassins from approaching him.

Du Rui lowered his head, kept trembling, did not dare to raise his head, entangled by a huge inexplicable grief, he drowned in the water, and that emotion tied him like aquatic weeds, making him unable to break free.

After all, he still raised his head.

He looked at the Assassin.

It was a young palace maid of seventeen or eighteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows, very delicate appearance, a pair of willow eyebrows flying gently, heroic and vigorous.

The two met in the air.

Du Rui recognized this look, he had seen a similar look.

It was the eyes of a martyr.

In addition to the avenue in the heart, everything can be sacrificed, and everything can be killed!

At this moment, the long sword in her hand turned into a bolt of lightning and fell towards the center of his brow.

Because he stood in front of her and blocked her way.

Death?

Death again?

A strong unwillingness hit my heart!

A force suddenly grew in Du Rui's body, and his stiff body suddenly moved, rolling to the side, making way for a way, and the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake suddenly dissipated.

"Whew!"

An embroidery needle flashed and pierced the neck of the young assassin, and the beacon night owl wearing a blood-red crown and a colorful brocade robe flew silently.

He arrived in time!

"Alive!"

There was a voice echoing in the main hall, domineering and decisive.

"No!"

The beacon fire responded, and the voice was low, not as sharp as that of a castrated person.

The tip of the sword seemed to be a streamer, and with a slight turn, it stabbed the embroidery needle, making a soft sound, and the embroidery needle flew back, swinging in the air for a while, and then flew back again.

At this moment, the girl swung her sword back, and gently pulled it towards her neck, so absolutely, without the slightest hesitation.

Blood splattered.

The girl's body fell quietly like a kite without a string.

His gaze shifted down, and then, he saw the woman in the green shirt.

She curled up in a pool of blood, her body twitched slightly, and she was only four or five paces away from him, and at this moment, she was looking at him, and the look in her eyes dissipated little by little, like petals falling from a branch.

There was a smile on her lips, and the smile was stiff on her face, like a flower that would never wither.

"Mom's ......"

Du Rui said unconsciously, and subconsciously crawled over there.

Suddenly, the world was spinning.

His mind was white, his whole body went limp, and he collapsed and passed out.
