Hearing the footsteps, Murong Mian immediately raised his head, although Ning Jiu still had an expressionless iceberg face, he still saw a clue, the hand on his knee unconsciously clenched into a fist, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Ning Jiu didn't dare to look directly at his gaze, and knelt down, "The subordinates are incompetent, please ask the emperor to condemn him." ”

The emperor's breath sank, "Tell me quickly." ”

"After receiving General Li's secret letter, when he led his men and horses to go, he found that there was a collapse somewhere in the Flame Mountain, he ordered someone to dig up the collapse, and saw that there were caves and corpses inside, and after counting, there were eight people dressed as guards, and the other four were an old woman, a middle-aged woman, and two," he said here and paused, and his voice was obscure: "It is a young woman and child, judging from their shape and appearance, they look very much like the princess and the little prince." ”

The emperor slowly stood up, and his tone was hopeful: "It's just a lot like?" ”

"The person was smashed and deformed, and it was impossible to identify, but General Li sent someone to send some things found in the cave eight hundred miles to send them over, and they are still on the way at the moment, and they are expected to arrive in Lin'an in three days." Ning Jiu continued: "General Li Tian personally visited the nearby village, saying that the middle-aged woman and mother-in-law came to the village every few days to buy food, they were generous, never bargained, and sometimes gave more money, the people in the village were willing to sell grain and vegetables to them, but they were mute, so the people in the village did not know about them, although everyone thought they were a little strange, but no one meddled. ”

The Emperor asked, "Why did the good cave collapse?" ”

"According to the people in the village, it should have collapsed naturally, and the flame mountain had also collapsed before, as for why it collapsed, they didn't know, but they just felt that the temperature of the mountain was higher than elsewhere, which was very weird, so it was named the flame mountain, and no one dared to go up at ordinary times."

The emperor stood there for a long time before he sat down, "Then wait another three days." ”

Ning Jiu moved his lips, wanting to persuade him, when things came to this point, I am afraid there is not much hope. But the words still didn't come out of his mouth, and the emperor was so pitiful, so he gave him another three days.

Three days later, the things sent by General Li really arrived, Ning Jiu arranged for people to rest, and carried things to the emperor by himself, a big burden, opened it, and there were still a lot of things, because the things picked up on the ground looked dirty. There were some clothes, purses, hairpins, and a small silver lock.

Yuegui and Crimson were called over to carefully identify, some of those clothes and hairpins were indeed the princess's things, and so were the purses, the emperor took the small silver lock in his hand and gently wiped the dust on it, he recognized this small silver lock, it was Xiao Shizi, on the day of the full moon in Wushui Town, Shi Shengcheng sent it, and it was also inlaid with gold edges, which was quite exquisite, Bai Qianfan liked it, and personally wore it on Mo Ronglin's neck.

There will be no mistake this time, he clasped the small silver lock tightly in his palm, and the coolness soaked from his fingertips to his heart little by little, he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart, and he wanted to kill.

But the more this happened, the more terrifyingly quiet he became, and said to Ning Jiu: "Bring Zhuge Qianyu here." ”

Ning Jiu turned around and ordered, and soon, Zhuge Qianyu was brought, during this time, he did not suffer, and he was able to eat a full meal, which was much better than when he first came.

The emperor told Yuegui and Qihong to step down, and said to Zhuge Qianyu, "I said that if the princess returns, I will give amnesty to the world, but now that she has not returned, I will kill someone." ”

Zhuge Qianyu seemed a little surprised, and asked, "Didn't you find the princess?" ”

Ning Jiu said, "I found it, but it was too late, the cave collapsed, and everyone was buried inside." ”

Zhuge Qianyu looked a little regretful and shook his head, "It seems to be the will of heaven." As soon as he finished speaking, he gasped violently, and a sword had already plunged into his body.

The Emperor moved so fast that he didn't even see it clearly, and the sword sank into his chest.

The emperor's cold voice rang in his ears: "This is also the will of heaven. As soon as the hand was retracted, the sword was pulled back, and bright red blood immediately gushed out......

Zhuge Qianyu clutched his chest, with a weird smile on his face, slowly leaned back, and finally fell to the ground.

Seeing the blood, the emperor's anger finally calmed down, but the endless emptiness came up, as if to kill him, he threw down his sword, and staggered out of the door.

The cold wind rushed in his face, and on the way he passed, Hula lala knelt down in a large area, he walked aimlessly, knowing that it was hopeless, but he always wanted a miracle, and now even the body was found, it was really hopeless.

It was cold everywhere, gray everywhere, and the sun didn't feel the slightest warmth on his body, and he looked at the people kneeling on the ground, his eyes were blank and empty.

He took the world and became a king, but what about the one who shared it with him? No matter how high he stands, he is only alone.

When he stopped, he found himself standing on the edge of Taiye Lake, the breeze blowing, sparkling, he looked at the swaying fine golden light, stunned.

In fact, no one blames him, only himself, thinking that through his own efforts, he can turn a wolf into a sheep, but a wolf is a wolf, and his nature is bloodthirsty, including himself, so the sheep cannot survive in the world of wolves, and the wolf needs a companion who can follow it all the way to fight, even if it is eaten by his companions.

What I have been thinking about for a long time and can't figure out becomes reasonable in nature.

I don't know how long it took, in the afterglow, Hao Pingguan stood not far away and looked left and right, but Ning Jiu stopped him from coming.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

As soon as he spoke, Ning Jiu gave way, and Hao Pingguan walked over with small steps, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Liu Duzheng from the Prison Prison Department is here, saying that the prisoner did not stand the punishment and was killed half an hour ago." ”

The emperor knew that the person in his mouth was Murong Yuan, he pulled the corners of his mouth, his eyes looked at the lake, "Chop up his body and throw it into the river to feed the fish." ”

Hao Pingguan was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

The damned ones seem to be dead, everything has an end, half a month later, the bodies of the princess and Xiao Shizi were transported back to Lin'an City, Jia Tong brought the forbidden army in, and placed them in the long body hall, he took advantage of the lack of attention, quietly uncovered the white cloth and took a look, and even he, a person who was used to seeing life and death scenes, ran to the bottom of the tree and vomited, which shows how terrible the corpse under the white cloth is.

Everyone was afraid that the emperor would be sad when he saw it, so they tried their best to persuade him not to see it, the emperor naturally did not listen to the persuasion, his face was gloomy, and he opened the white cloth, but he was not as emotional as everyone imagined, and even cried, and looked at it silently for a while, covered it, and called for the coffin.

I don't know if he was too sad before, and when he saw the corpse with his own eyes, he didn't react, as if he had already been numb. He didn't even pay much attention to the funeral, and handed over all the affairs to Xiu Min.

When drafting the eulogy, Xiu Min came to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, should you give it...... Niangniang added the title, as well as the name of the eldest prince, and the imperial tomb has just broken ground, about the burial ......"

The emperor was writing, the wolf was stuck in mid-air, and after a while he said, "Don't write anything on the spirit card, it's empty, choose a piece of ground to bury on the edge of the imperial mausoleum, you don't have to make a big deal, stop for three days and mourn." ”

Xiu Min was very surprised, he thought that the emperor loved Bai Qianfan so deeply that he would posthumously crown her as the queen of Daxing, give her a nickname, and have a beautiful funeral, but he didn't expect everything to be simple, and he didn't even enter the imperial mausoleum. However, the emperor is a secretive person, and no one can guess his thoughts.
