"Greetings to Princess Mu and His Royal Highness King Yan."

Su Muyi and Xia Ziyan arrived at the Temple of the Emperor Tai at night, and the staff were already waiting in front of the door, and when they got out of the carriage, they got up and knelt down to salute.

"Let's be flat." Su Muyi said that her style is also full of royal style.

The general of the guards of the Emperor's Temple got up and said to the two: "The last general has ordered someone to arrange a place for the princess and His Royal Highness King Yan, and the meal will be delivered later. It's getting late today, and the ceremony to worship the emperor will be held tomorrow, and the two of you will be wronged tonight. ”

Su Muyi and Xia Ziyan glanced at each other, and then said to the guard general, "Lead the way."

"This way, please." The general made a gesture of please.

Xia Ziyan glanced behind him before entering the Taimiao, night had fallen, and all he saw was the shadows of the trees, but he was sure in his heart that there must be someone from Su Mufei hidden in the shadows of the trees. Their battle is about to begin tonight.

"Your Highness, they have already entered." Lan Yan reported to Su Mufei that they were hiding in the woods outside the Taimiao.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the perimeter first, the patrol of the escort army will come once every half an hour, don't act rashly until then." Su Mufei said.

"Why are there so many guards? Sixth brother, will they be able to get in successfully? ”

Walking in the Taimiao, Su Muyi saw that there were guards everywhere, not only was she a little worried, but her actions and face also looked unnatural due to worry.

"That's not something you should worry about, you're here to worship the emperor, just remember this, we'll take care of the rest." Xia Ziyan comforted her.

"Behave well and don't show your feet, that's the only thing you can do for him." Xia Ziyan added.

Even so, Su Muyi was still a little worried, and said melancholy: "Really, will it succeed?"

"Whether it succeeds or not, it's the same for you." Xia Ziyan looked at Su Muyi and said, although these words were too cruel for her.

"Even so, I hope he succeeds, after all, he is my brother." There was a hint of sadness in Su Muyi's voice.

"But he's taking advantage of you." Xia Ziyan said, paused for a while and asked, "When did you know about that?"

"No one in this world can be truly light-hearted, and it is even more impossible for people from the royal family."

"So for the sake of that position, do you have to sacrifice Princess Mu's happiness? She shouldn't have known that you proposed it to your father. ”

Su Muyi recalled the conversation between him and Qiu Luoxue on the day after Su Mufei was injured in Daqin. It was also from that time that she knew that the brother she had always thought was the best for her was just using her as a pawn to compete for the reserve.

Speaking of this topic, Su Muyi's eyes were filled with tears, but she was very stubborn and did not shed them. Xia Ziyan looked at her like this and sighed, but the fate of royal women is mostly like this, and being used shows that it is still effective, otherwise I don't know what the fate will be.

"So you should live for yourself, if you don't want to be a pawn, you have to become a chess player, like the eldest princess Kitazawa." Xia Ziyan said.

Su Muyi just smiled, and when she mentioned Mu Qianqian, she asked again: "I heard that Prime Minister Beize led troops to force the palace a few days ago, I don't know what the situation is?"

"I think it's going to be a result soon." Xia Ziyan said leisurely.

"How is wartime now?" Mu Qianqian asked, nervousness could be heard in her tone.

"The army led by the prime minister has broken through the second line of defense, and our army will not be able to support it for long." The soldier replied.

"You must hold on, Han Jiajun will be here today, you must hold on." Mu Qianqian said, more like talking to herself, and like saying comforting words to herself.

The candles in the palace were swaying in the wind, the light was dim and bright, and the sound of soldiers fighting and fighting was faintly heard outside, which further intensified the dark and tense atmosphere in the imperial city.

Xia Zimo stood outside the dark passage, and the candle flame was projected on the door of the dark passage, attaching his straight figure to it.

"I thought that after that, we would be closer, but I didn't expect it to be farther away now. That's not what I did. ”

When Qiu Luoxue slept at night, she saw the night pearl box placed next to the pillow, opened the box, and the light of the night pearl illuminated the room.

"Your Majesty's status is noble, this friend, the minister can't afford it."

"Your Majesty, don't be so kind to your ministers, don't do things that cause misunderstandings between ministers and the world."

Seeing the night pearl sent by Xia Zimo, Qiu Luoxue remembered what she said to Xia Zimo during the day, and her mood suddenly became melancholy. The light of the night pearl was so bright, but it couldn't illuminate the bleak relationship between her and Xia Zimo.

"Noble status, rich and powerful, good-looking face, good voice, no matter how you look at it, he is a perfect man, but it's a pity that he is not a man who belongs to me." Saying that, Qiu Luoxue sighed deeply, closed the box of the Night Pearl, and put it aside.

On a sparse night in the moon, the cool breeze gusts in the wilderness, which is a little scary, and the patrol of the Taimiao Guards walks in the forest, and the heavy armor makes a "clanging" sound.

On the tree on the side, there was a group of men in black hidden, and when the patrol approached, the leading man in black made a gesture of action, and everyone raised their swords and flew down.

Quietly, only the sound of the sword slashing through the skin and the "thud" sound of the human body falling to the ground. The birds in the woods were surprised and flew away from the place of right and wrong.

The patrol team was quickly wiped out, Su Mufei put away the sword in his hand, took out a signal flare from a soldier and pulled it, and red fireworks lit up in the air.

"It's the fireworks of the patrol, there's an accident over there, notify General Bian quickly." The guards of the temple saw the signal and quickly ran to report it.

Soon, a team of people set off from the Taimiao Temple to the woods where the accident occurred. It's just that at this time, Su Mufei and the others have already left.

"Oh no, no, Princess Mu and His Royal Highness King Yan were assassinated." There was a sudden panic in the temple.

General Bian had just sent a team of men and horses, and this was another incident. Because of Su Muyi and Xia Ziyan's noble status, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately took someone to check. The originally black Taimiao suddenly became brighter.

The assassination of Su Muyi and Xia Ziyan was arranged by Su Mufei, and this was also a plan they discussed, so as to use this method to attack the east and west, drag General Bian's men and horses, and buy time for Su Mufei.

No, as soon as General Bian left, Su Mufei took a team of black people into the Taimiao. Some of the guards were transferred to assist the patrol, and some were to catch the assassins, and there were obviously fewer guards outside the temple, plus they had internal responses inside, and soon quietly entered the temple.

"The coffin of the former emperor is parked in the main hall, come with me." It was a monk who came to answer him, and he successfully led Su Mufei to find the coffin of the former emperor.

Entering the main hall, he saw the coffin parked in the center, and Su Mufei ordered: "Carry it away, be careful on the road."

As soon as his words fell, a few people in black came over and walked out carrying the coffin. The coffin was very heavy and the target was large, and it was impossible for them to go out quietly, but fortunately, the guards were sparse now, so they would not fall into a difficult battle.

On the second day, the streets and alleys of Nanliang spread an astonishing news: the Taimiao Temple was attacked, and the coffin of the emperor was stolen.

"Bastard, I ordered you to guard the Taimiao well, and you actually let the emperor's coffin be stolen." Emperor Nanliang said angrily after receiving the news.

"The ministers are not well guarded, please punish Your Majesty." General Bian knelt down and said.

"Is it useful to punish sin, to punish sin, to punish your sin? Why don't you go and arrest the prisoner and get the coffin of the former emperor back. Emperor Nanliang yelled.

This matter is not only about face, but also about his life and death and whether the throne can sit firmly, if people find out the truth about the violent death of the emperor, everything will be over.

"Haven't you found Su Mufei yet?" Emperor Nanliang asked the guards beside him again.

"I haven't found it yet." The guard replied.

"Waste." Emperor Nanliang scolded, paused for a while, and then said: "Searching across the country, I feel that the theft of the coffin of the former emperor has nothing to do with him. Be sure to kill him before he discovers the secrets inside. ”

"Nanliang and Beize have risen, and it is difficult for Daqin to be alone." Xia Zimo stood at the highest point of Chongming Tower, looking at the palace road surrounded by autumn colors.

Qiu Luoxue unexpectedly found that the relationship chart of the four major families she had placed under the pillow was missing. Supposedly, no one entered her room, so how could she be gone?

"What is Childe looking for?" Xiyue entered Qiu Luoxue's room and saw her rummaging around, as if she was looking for something.

"Ah, nothing, not something important." Qiu Luoxue stopped rummaging when she saw someone coming in.

But she still wondered where the diagram had gone, so she asked, "Did anyone come to my room when I wasn't there?"

"Except for the accident that my sister came to the son's room to clean the room, only His Majesty the Emperor has come." Shigetsu replied.

"What is the emperor doing here?" Qiu Luoxue asked, if Xiyue didn't say it, she wouldn't know about it.

"I don't know about this Xiyue, I just saw Your Majesty by chance." Shigetsu replied.

Her words caused Qiu Luoxue to ponder for a while, why did Xia Zimo come to her room? Did he take that diagram? Why take it?

Alas, if I could have asked before, but now that it is like this, I am embarrassed to speak, and these questions can only be held in my heart. Thinking about the scene when she went to court this morning, it was also embarrassing, she and Xia Zimo were relatively speechless, avoiding each other's gazes, occasionally their eyes bumped into each other, and they would quickly move away, like strangers.

The Jinluan Hall was so spacious, but she felt extremely depressed and breathless. I don't know if Xia Zimo will feel the same way as her. I don't know how long this relationship will last, she didn't like the court, so after that, she felt that the court was being punished, thinking about the days to come, it was really difficult. Do you want to revisit the resignation? Xia Zimo probably still won't agree.
