At night, the south study was particularly deserted, Emperor Hongwei was wearing a big hat, standing on the terrace silently looking at the starry sky, the candles in the room were only half lit, and the swaying light illuminated his face flickering, so gloomy.

"Your Majesty, Princess Qixia is asking to see you outside the palace."

Wang Shun still quietly appeared behind Emperor Hongwei like a ghost, and said softly.

Emperor Hongwei's gaze fell from the starry sky to the palace in the distance, and he said gloomily: "All the princes have gone to the Sunu Palace today? ”

Wang Shun nodded: "The six princes, the crown prince, the king of Yu, the king of Qi, the king of Su, the king of Liao, and the king of Han, all went, and I heard that it was very unpleasant in the end." ”

Emperor Hongwei threw the secret report hidden in his sleeve into the brazier, and said coldly: "It's really six good brothers, let Qingwu come in, maybe it will snow this day, don't let her freeze." ”

"Obey ......"

Wang Shun heard that his body was short, and he slowly retreated outward.

Emperor Hongwei's eyes seemed to be a little sluggish, and he gradually became distracted.

"Father's ......"

I don't know how long later, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.

Emperor Hongwei's heart was hot, and the corners of his lips subconsciously hooked up a smile, but in just an instant, that smile disappeared.

He didn't look back, dressed in half-night, half-candlelight, and asked lightly: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Princess Qixia knelt not far away, bowed her head, and did not speak.

Emperor Hongwei suddenly turned around, only to see Princess Qixia's face suddenly, without sadness or joy, and there was a slight pain in his heart for no reason.

"I'm usually too spoiled by you, so I make you so willful."

Princess Qixia did not refute, and quietly kowtowed three times to Emperor Hongwei.

Emperor Hongwei's heart softened, and he sighed and said: "Don't worry, Uliji dares to take advantage of the fire to rob, and I will ask him to repay the blood debts of the grassland tribes and avenge you with one head after another!" ”

Princess Qixia shook her head: "Qingwu is just a woman, she just wants to live a good life, she doesn't need to shed so much blood, and she doesn't need so many heads." ”

Emperor Hongwei frowned: "You still don't want to go?" ”

Princess Qixia smiled bitterly: "Qingwu has never said a word from beginning to end. ”

Emperor Hongwei took a deep look at her and said word by word: "Then what do you want?" ”

Princess Qixia looked at Emperor Hongwei and said weakly but firmly: "I want Xu Rui...... Alive......"

Emperor Hongwei's body shook slightly, and he heard Princess Qixia say: "If Xu Rui dies, his daughter will spend her whole life and do whatever it takes, and she will also encourage the grassland army to step into the northern country!" ”

"What did you say?"

Emperor Hongwei's eyes froze, and the invisible killing intent raged wildly, but Princess Qixia was like a small grass, staggering in the storm, but she still stood proudly.

"Do you think I'm really scared with those mud legs?"

Emperor Hongwei squinted, bent down, and asked coldly.

Princess Qixia said: "Maybe we are not your opponents, but Qixia has a fearless heart. ”

Emperor Hongwei's eyes were like knives, stabbing Princess Qixia, and Princess Qixia was also stunned and looked at Emperor Hongwei without retreating.

After a long time, Emperor Hongwei looked away and waved his hand: "Stand down, I should never have your daughter!" ”

Princess Qixia silently kowtowed to Emperor Hongwei, turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

"Dash...... Da ...... Da ......"

Princess Qixia's footsteps were soft and gentle, and every step seemed to be stepping on Emperor Hongwei's heart, but Emperor Hongwei never looked back.

Finally, Princess Qixia walked to the door of the main hall, and just as she was about to step out of the main hall, the hand that stretched out to push the door was selected in mid-air, and her whole person seemed to be a sculpture suddenly petrified.

"Father!"

Suddenly, Princess Qixia turned around with a crying voice, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed to Emperor Hongwei three times with a "knock knock".

"Father, after marrying into the grassland, the daughter will no longer be the princess of Dawei, but the Khan concubine of Wuliji, from now on, you and the queen mother take care of your body, your daughter is not filial, say goodbye to ......"

After speaking, Princess Qixia got up in a hurry, and before she even had time to wipe the tears on her face, she turned around and pushed open the door of the main hall and rushed out.

A cold wind blew in through the gate, blowing a row of candle flames from side to side, and finally dissipated invisibly around the Great Flame of Emperor Hongwei.

The cold wind didn't even lift the corner of the big blow, but it seemed to blow into the heart of Emperor Hongwei.

He still stood proudly, as if he was standing above the nine heavens, looking at the empire under his feet, but at that moment, his heart seemed to be shattered by a heavy hammer.

"After marrying into the grassland, my daughter is no longer the princess of Dawei, but the Khan concubine of Wuliji......"

These words kept echoing in his heart, like a sharp sword, cutting all his self-esteem, warmth and pride to pieces.

Qingwu, the pearl of his palm, from the cry at the moment of her birth, to the joyful smile of more than ten years, and then to the true feelings revealed when she said goodbye, everything seems to have become a picture scroll, constantly changing in front of his eyes.

"Ahh

Suddenly, Emperor Hongwei roared, pulled out the sword on the wall and slashed it down, and the brazier at his feet suddenly split apart, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wang Shun walked over with a stack of folds in his arms, and said expressionlessly: "The folds that the master of ceremonies just sent ......"

As soon as Emperor Hongwei threw away the sword in his hand, all the anger, unwillingness, and humiliation in his heart seemed to disappear in an instant, and he turned back into the cold-blooded and ruthless emperor.

He picked up a book of folds from Wang Shun's hand, flipped through a few pages at random, and sneered: "It's all this kind of fold? ”

Wang Shun nodded and said, "It's all Bao Xu Rui's twists and turns." ”

Emperor Hongwei gritted his teeth and asked, "The crown prince, the king of Liao, and the king of Yu all protect Xu Rui?" ”

Wang Shun nodded: "Except for Liu Yi, Xiao Jinwu and a few others, other important ministers have all signed an excerpt to protect Xu Rui." ”

A cold light flashed on Emperor Hongwei's face, and he swept the fold in Wang Shun's hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Killing, killing, all are forcing me to kill!" ”

Wang Shun hurriedly knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty is angry, don't be angry......

Emperor Hongwei stepped on the folds scattered all over the ground, and said fiercely: "The whole world wants to embarrass me, but they underestimate me, I want the whole world to surrender to my feet, and I want to be the emperor of the ages like Zhu Zhen!" ”

Outside the south study, the little eunuch who was in charge of sending the folds lowered his head and asked Hu Miao in front of him: "Godfather, those folds are obviously from Xu Rui, why did the saint say that he was forcing him to kill people?" ”

Hu Miao sneered: "Zhengyu, although you have been in the master of ceremonies for so long, you are still a little tender after all, sometimes you don't use a knife to kill people, these twists and turns are knives, killing people is saving people, saving people is killing people." ”

Zhengyu was stunned: "Godfather, I don't understand." ”

Hu Miao sighed and said: "Although the saint is a generation of heroes, he is also a human being after all, and if he is a human being, he has joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

This time, Wu Liji took advantage of the fire to rob and snatched Princess Qixia from the hands of the saint, but the saint could only pinch his nose and admit it, this is a great humiliation to the saint, how could such a majestic person swallow this breath? He really moved to kill.

And Xu Rui is like a stele, as long as he is alive, he reminds the saint of the humiliating existence all the time, every time he sees him, or even thinks of him, it will be like being slapped in the face.

Originally, with the heart of the saint, he could barely endure the humiliation and leave Xu Rui a way out, but at this time, those people came to protect him, just to deliberately keep this humiliation and sprinkle salt on the wounds of the saint.

Isn't this forcing the saint to kill Xu Rui, what is it? ”

"Oh, there are so many more ......"

After listening to Hu Miao's explanation, Zheng Yu sighed sincerely.

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and asked again: "Godfather, do you think Xu Rui can pass this time?" ”

Hu Miao shook her head: "Originally, it was very suspenseful, but after Princess Qixia's statement, it is difficult to say, it depends on the strength of the saint, in short, our family is still not optimistic!" ”

Zhengyu puzzled: "Since the godfather is not optimistic that Xu Rui can pass the test, and Xu Rui is so close to Wang Shunde, why don't you take the opportunity to ......?"

Hu Miao shook her head gloomily: "Xu Rui is extraordinary, I can't tell why, even if he is already in a desperate situation, but godfather, I just don't think he can die......"

"Can't you die?"

Zhengyu didn't know what to think, revealing a thoughtful look, and his eyes gradually lit up.
