() In the next second, there was a screaming sound of arrow feathers piercing through the air, and Gu Zongtang's voice stopped, and there was no life.

Gu Yutang let go, Gu Zongtang had an arrow stuck in his chest, he fell on the cold steps and rolled down.

The master who led the rebellion died, and the soldiers who forced the palace were leaderless, and they began to flee and surrender.

Gu Ziyuan walked to Gu Yutang's side and nodded: "Thank you." ”

"I'm just protecting myself." Gu Yutang waved his hand.

The emperor staggered out of the dormitory, saw the imperial city full of corpses, and saw Gu Zongtang lying in a pool of blood, he muttered in despair: "It's gone, it's gone, my emperors, and my throne, my royal power, everything is gone." ”

Desperate, the emperor coughed violently, and actually spit out a mouthful of black blood, which was the depression that had been stored in his heart for a long time.

The eunuch, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw the emperor falling, and hurriedly crawled over to help him up: "Emperor, emperor? ”

I didn't get a response, and when I poked my fingertips, I was already out of breath.

"The emperor has died!"

The mournful message echoed through the imperial city, like a mournful roar.

Gu Ziyuan put away his sword, turned around and glanced at Gu Yutang, who had an indistinguishable expression, and after thinking about it, he said, "You can handle the matter here, she is still waiting for me, go back first." ”

He came here just to stop Gu Zongtang's ambitions from succeeding, and for the rest, even if he was an official of the imperial court, he didn't have to deal with the mess of the emperor's future affairs.

The Nine Emperor Princes didn't say anything, and let Gu Ziyuan and them leave, he quietly watched his biological father's death, and some complicated emotions stirred up in his heart.

He knew that the emperor didn't have much affection for him, and he shouldn't be sad for such a person, but after all, he was his blood relative in this world, and it was indescribable to watch him disappear.

After hearing the news that the rebels led into the imperial city by Gu Zongtang were rehabilitated, Bai Rong, who had not slept all night, showed joy on her face, and then fell down again, because she was still not sure about Gu Ziyuan's safety.

She waited anxiously at the entrance of the secret room with the candle flame, until the tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness, and the person on the other end saw the candle flame and asked tentatively, "Rong'er?" ”

Hearing that voice as warm as jade, Bai Rong almost couldn't wait to put down the candle flame

Pounced. She hugged her sweetheart tightly, and the man was only slightly stunned, and then tightly protected her.

The two embraced each other in silence for a long time, and neither of them opened their mouths to break the warm tranquility.

Although the rebels were removed, there was no emperor in this imperial city, and the capital was still full of wind and rain and suspicion.

Gu Yutang's actions were also fast, and after handling the emperor's funeral affairs properly, he pulled the rest of the entire imperial court back again, and took the opportunity of the rebels to enter the city, from which he caught many disloyal ministers with the same intentions.

The internal affairs in the imperial city have gradually begun to recover, but after Gu Zongtang's fighting, it is always a little like scattered sand.

Without waiting for Gu Ziyuan to consider whether to enter the imperial city to help Gu Yutang, Gu Yutang came to the door first.

Gu Yutang's purpose is very clear, he has no interest in the throne, and he doesn't want to inherit any throne, since the emperor's death, he has never slept peacefully, thought about a lot of things, and finally decided to leave the capital temporarily and go out to travel.

Gu Ziyuan was not easy to persuade him of his decision, after all, once he sat in the position of emperor, it meant that this person would definitely have to make a lifetime of contributions to his dynasty and people.

According to the character of taking care of Yutang, the position of the emperor is indeed not suitable for him.

And Gu Ziyuan, he didn't think about regaining this throne as the son of the first emperor, he wanted to take Bai Rong to the rivers and lakes together, live a happy life, and then find a suitable time to marry her and make her his wife.

In this way, two people will grow old hand in hand for a lifetime.

"Your Highness, have you really decided?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, this is the life I want most, it's nothing if I live up to myself, I don't want Bai Rong to follow me to continue to walk the troubled waters of the court."

"But Your Highness, the reason why we have come to this day is that the throne is in front of us, for the sake of the first emperor, is it really good to give up like this?" Song Yuyu was a little incomprehensible, he always wanted to let the legacy of the first emperor be inherited.

And Gu Ziyuan, as the heir of the first emperor, and Song Yuyu, as a loyal subordinate of the first emperor, naturally want to see the bloodline of the first emperor return to the throne, admired by thousands of people, and create brilliance.

Gu Ziyuan shook his head, but said firmly: "What I have already decided, it is difficult to change it, in this world, there are kings and dynasties, if I do."

One day when I am gone, there will be many new emperors on the throne, so what if I am missing. ”

He didn't ask Bai Rong if he wanted the life of the red wall of the deep palace in the imperial city, but he couldn't bear to let her follow him all the time, trapped in such a place, although he was rich and prosperous, but it was accompanied by countless threats and power calculations.

Even though he knew that Bai's answer would be towards him without accident, he still felt sorry for her and was reluctant to let her suffer.

Seeing that Gu Ziyuan had made up his mind, Song Yuyu opened his mouth, but he still took back the unwillingness in his heart.

Gu Ziyuan is Gu Ziyuan after all, he is not an orphan of the first emperor, nor is he himself, he has the right to choose his own life and future.

And thinking of Bai Rong, Song Yuyu also had selfish intentions, and he didn't want her to be in the harem and live that life of maneuvering everywhere.

Let them go.

With plenty of time and nothing to do, Bai Rong was a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Gu Ziyuan agreed to her, and after packing her luggage in the past few days, she will take her to travel around the world, enjoy the scenery of the Central Plains wantonly, and think that she can go to places that she has never been to, and it is also the world of Gu Ziyuan, and her heart begins to be as sweet as a honey pot.

And Yeerlu and they seemed to have begun to pack their luggage and plan to go back to their hometown, they did not leave directly, but said hello to Bai Rong in advance, which made Bai Rong even more reluctant, hoping that they could stay for a few more days.

Ye Erlu did not refuse, and indeed promised Bai Rong to stay for a few more days, but he did not change his mind of wanting to go back, and his sister Ye Erwan's mood was gradually fading, she didn't want to leave the capital, she was reluctant to Ning Zhou.

When she thought that after she went back, she would have to miss the people and food here from a long distance, and she became sullen, and it was not good to let Yeerlu coax her, but as nobles of a foreign race, they could not give up their people.

"But brother, you obviously don't want to leave, do you?"

Yerlu shook his head: "Silly girl, this is different. ”

"Then it's better for you to go back by yourself, brother, I want to stay, I want to be with them." Yerwan was a little willful.

This time, Yerlu's face turned pale, and he commanded with the majesty of his elder brother, "No, no, obedient." ”
