The old emperor also looked like he was going to die, he was middle-aged, he first lost his beloved son, and then he didn't even see the last side of his mother, and no one might be able to cheer up immediately, but the old emperor seemed to know that his time was running out, so he simply fell down and blinded himself with wine.

The queen seemed to be afraid of showing her cowardice to the night, so she patted the person on the shoulder, and in the clouds: "It's his life that should be like this." With that, the queen, dressed in a man's attire, left first.

Xiang Yeqi was silent, but in the dark he watched the girl who looked like a rumor concubine pouring wine for the old emperor again and again, and the two gradually got drunk in the wine, and they didn't even notice that Xiang Yeqi gradually approached behind the screen.

"You and I are still tonight—not drunk!" The old emperor raised his glass to invite the moon, but was carried away by the wine, let the wine cup fall to his body, and smiled in a trance, "I am really confused." Well? Concubine Yu, what kind of clothes are you wearing today, what, what, how are you ......?"

"Concubine Rumor" smiled shyly, and generously revealed the white feather phoenix embroidered on the shoulder, second only to the bright yellow of the dragon robe, which was only qualified to be worn by the queens of previous dynasties, and what she was wearing today was the phoenix robe that the queen wore on the day of her coronation!

She flatteringly poured wine for the emperor again, and poured herself into the arms of the old emperor first, as if she was drunk but not drunk, and only knew how to hook up with others: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to be your queen." ”

"What's so hard about that? If you want to be a queen, I will make you a queen! The old emperor agreed very happily, "I not only want you to be the queen, but also let everyone prostrate at your feet, so that you can be the most noble woman in the world!" Those who oppose you deserve nothing but to be trampled under your feet. ”

"Concubine...... Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Before the "rumor concubine" finished speaking, a mouthful of black and purple blood spit on the case, and a table of delicacies was stained with a little purple and terrifying blood.

She weakly held on to the table and coughed twice, and fell into the arms of the old emperor: "The concubine was born in poverty and poverty, and being able to be with Your Majesty for a few days is a blessing that the concubine cultivated in her previous life...... Die, die without regrets. ”

The breath of "Concubine Yu" was not swallowed directly, but lingered in the arms of the old emperor, and she couldn't help but sigh to Yeqi - the queen is really ruthless. If the old emperor gave this sincere heart to the concubine in his later years, he believed it to the night, and he did not see the tragic situation of the concubine at that time, and the old emperor may still have some thoughts about the beauty of the past.

However, the queen did not leave any room at this time, just to let the old emperor witness the tragic death of his beloved from his arms, and finally resented Jiuquan.

"Rumors! Rumors! The old emperor held the girl in his arms and called the name of the concubine, but he didn't know that the warmth of the past few days had been given to the wrong person, just as he didn't know that this birth and death parting was a game set up by the queen for his mind.

It didn't take long for the old emperor to notice something strange in his body.

He covered his mouth in a panic, but he still couldn't stop the mouthful of fishy turbid blood from pouring out of his mouth, compared to the smell of blood in his mouth, the taste of burning his heart and lungs made the old emperor even more painful, like thousands of little Gu worms gnawing at his organs, which was a rare torture in the world.

The old emperor pushed away the "rumored concubine" who was still whimpering in his arms, and tried in vain to crawl out of the door with a weak posture to ask the imperial doctor to save him.

But he hesitated for a moment.

Just because of this momentary hesitation, the "Rumor Concubine" grabbed the corner of the old emperor's clothes and did not allow him to leave. The old emperor turned his head in astonishment, and the "rumored concubine" actually took down the red candle on the lampstand, smiling clearly.

"You, what are you going to do!" The old emperor covered his colic heart with one hand, and supported himself on the ground with the other, "Danger, put it down!" ”

The "rumored concubine" did put down the red candle, but it was far contrary to the old emperor's intentions - she threw the red candle directly at the curtain that had been piled up several layers, and the fire spread rapidly through the best medium, and the old emperor was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of even more turbid blood......

The girl who pretended to be a rumored concubine used her last strength to overturn the table with her last strength, and let the sake be poured on the fire, making the fire more and more terrifying.

Xiang Yeqi pulled the corner of her skirt and ran out of the door, shouting again: "Someone—the painting boat is on fire!" Someone! ”

These shouts are nothing more than a false display for outsiders to see.

After the queen left the painting boat, she would order someone to pretend to assassinate the ladies in the palace, and transfer most of the troops in the palace to all parts of the harem. However, the assassination in the harem is also a false shot to cover people's ears.

There are also many people who have discussed with the queen a long time ago and left the palace to reunite with their families in the name of fake death, as for Concubine Xu, who has some grudges against the queen...... It depends on how the queen intends to "settle".

"Someone's coming!" Xiang Yeqi then shouted a few times, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are both in the fire, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

Those who plan to change their identities by faking their lives also include the queen who has been bound by palace rules.

"Stop shouting."

The old emperor coughed violently twice, as if he wanted to cough out the heart and lungs that tortured him together, which could be regarded as relieving the "pain" for a while.

His reaction was different from what Xiang Yeqi thought, after all, after meeting several times, the old emperor was "acting in his true colors" as a madman with uncontrollable minds, so the old emperor did not scold some ugly words loudly at this time, but climbed to the door where the fire was slightly smaller, and sat upright, which really surprised Xiang Yeqi.

"Nobody will come." He said weakly.

"Erchen...... How could Erchen watch His Majesty trapped in the sea of fire and do nothing. ”

Xiang Yeqi reached out to the short dagger hidden in his sleeve, the queen had told that if the poison was too late, there would be something - she still needed to cut it off in person!

The most similar thing between poison and medicine is that the effect of the drug is fast and slow, and the same is true for poison.

After this break, it is undoubtedly an extremely troublesome matter, if you really want to talk about the crime, the queen is stirring up trouble in the harem, I am afraid that at most it will be to enter the cold palace, and Bo Zhaoxu has to do it...... The risks can still be weighed, but what Xiang Yeqi has to do now is to lose her head alone!

Therefore, this matter can only be done, and there can be no way back.

"Why—don't you dare to do it?" The old emperor seemed to see Xiang Yeqi's careful thoughts, he beckoned to people, and said majestically: "Come to me." ”

"Your Majesty......"

Xiang Yeqi was hesitant. Although the fire is still safe, it is not enough to support her and the old emperor to have a long talk here!

"Don't go."

This time, the old emperor really saw that Xiang Yeqi wanted to leave, and he reprimanded Xiang Yeqi for not allowing his posture, but it was more like he was staying.

How could he ever be so depressed, he could only pestle his hands on the ground to support his body: "I don't know what you did, but today-I can't get out alive, can I?" In that case, what else do you have to fear! I'm afraid I can still stand up and confront you now? Come here...... I will exchange my life for you to do something for me. ”

……

Xiang Yeqi didn't know which ghost he was fascinated by, and he really squatted beside the old emperor and gave the old emperor the last trace of care.

"Are you really not afraid that I will drag you to die together......" The old emperor laughed twice self-deprecatingly, but patted Yeqi on the shoulder as if appreciative, "I make a long story short, you listen to me!" Otherwise, no one can ...... except for some mess Preserve you. The old emperor's voice was already a little trembling, even if he wanted to explain some long instructions to Yeqi, the current state was not enough for him to finish speaking.

"You say." Xiang Yeqi said indifferently.

"I already knew...... It's time for that day. ”

The old emperor lowered his head weakly, his body trembled, as if he was enduring something: "Gu Yanchao - Gu Yanchao is in trouble with the dynasty, he deserves to die!" I can't escape his control alive, and I'm happy to be dead! Joyfully! Zhaoxu is worthy of being my son, and he can make a big decision at the right time. ”

These words, Xiang Yeqi had never heard the old emperor mention half a word, as if Bo Zhaoxu was his enemy in his previous life, and he was also the son he hated the most.

The old emperor's face was even more morbid and old under the firelight, but there was an aura of not being angry and dangerous.

But after all, the old emperor suddenly began to convulse, and this was not the effect of the poison - it was the old emperor's poppy addiction!

Two completely different kinds of pain tortured the old emperor's mind together, and this kind of pain made the old emperor collapse even more than witnessing the "rumor concubine" die in his arms.

Xiang Yeqi sighed, and found the poppy fruit that the old emperor smoked on weekdays in the corner where there was never a fire, and he was probably a little unbearable, so he handed it to the old emperor: "Erchen, I have written it down." ”

For a person like the old emperor who is addicted to drugs, it is already very irresistible to think of the taste of fluttering immortals, not to mention that Xiang Yeqi directly handed the poppy fruit to him in order to let him live in peace at this time, but the old emperor really relied on his own will, and bit off a piece of meat on his lips, and even threw this thing into the fire in order to suck a mouthful of poppy fruit, insisting on breaking up with the mediocrity of a few days ago.

But the addiction was still very devastating, and as soon as the old emperor threw the poppy fruit into the fire, he began to crave the pleasure of smoking the poppy, and he threw all the honor of the emperor behind him, and crawled tremblingly to the front of Xiang Yeqi, pulling Xiang Yeqi's sleeve and struggling.

Xiang Yeqi panicked for a while - this is too scary!

The old emperor's lips opened, as if he wanted to pray for another "gift" to Yeqi, and to find a poppy fruit for him, he trembled for a while, and said, "Give me a good time!" I, I know you've got a knife! Quick, kill me, kill me! ”

He shook Xiang Yeqi's arm vigorously, it was almost like what a person who had poisoned his heart and lungs could speak, and Xiang Yeqi didn't hold it for a while, and the silver-white dagger fell to the ground......

"I, I can't bear this pain anymore!" The old emperor wailed hoarsely, "You don't understand, you don't understand what he used to me!" Hurry—"
