Chapter 217 There was a cold glint in his eyes
The second prince looked at the hideous prince, his heart was shocked, and he said slowly: "I know, but ......"
"No, but!" The crown prince pushed the second prince aside in disgust, looked at him with slanted eyes and said with a sneer: "A broken medicine jar doesn't have many years to live, so it's really better to change another person to come in and hide at that time." ”
The second prince finally stopped his voice and looked at the prince fixedly, speechless. Could this be the son of destiny who will inherit the great unification in the future? With such a selfish and domineering king, where can the welfare of the people be sought?
In the midst of the stalemate between the two, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Is there anyone inside?" ”
The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and after glancing at the second prince, he raised his voice and said, "The prince is here!" How's the fire going? ”
After hearing the prince's answer, the voice outside became ecstatic, and replied: "Your Royal Highness the prince, it's great that you're okay, the fire has been controlled, you can come out quickly, this place will collapse in a short time." ”
When the prince heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and while stepping forward and pressing the mechanism to open the door, he turned his head and said to the second prince: "Look at you monkey hurry, as long as I am sure that it is safe, I will not open the door!" ”
The second prince looked at the prince with a complicated expression, pursed his lips and did not speak.
The heavy stone gate slowly rose up, and the thick smoke poured in instantly, the prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and cursed in his mouth: "Stupid thing without brains, come and let me go out before the smoke clears......"
As soon as the last word fell, the prince felt a chill in his neck, and instantly let out an exclamation.
In the smoke, Ye Ziyu had a cold face, pointed the long sword in his hand at the prince's second hand, and his eyes glowed with a cold light.
The crown prince looked fixedly, but saw a face that was not much different from the second prince, his eyes widened, full of disbelief, and he looked at the second prince slightly, his lips squirmed weakly: "This, this ......"
The second prince was also full of surprise, he stepped forward in disbelief, looked at this face, his mind was blank, and said slowly: "You are...... Who? ”
Although he asked such a question, the second prince already had a shocking speculation in his heart. In this world, there is only one person who can be highly similar to his face, and that is the fourth prince of the same father and mother as him, his own brother.
However, the fourth prince has obviously died with Concubine Shu more than ten years ago! What's going on!
"You, who the hell are you!" Because of the sword around his neck, the prince didn't dare to make too many movements, so he could only stare at Ye Ziyu with his eyes, and said: "Don't mess around, if I make any mistakes, you will definitely not survive!" ”
Ye Ziyu didn't speak, he looked at the prince like a dead man, and increased the strength of his sword. The blade of the sword that shone with cold light trembled uncontrollably, longing for blood to be watered. Even years of hatred turned into a calm lake at this moment, and only blood can make waves.
"You...... Is it the Fourth Emperor Brother? The second prince hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly said the question. Ye Ziyu evoked a sneer and said, "I'm just a lonely ghost, come to avenge me." ”
The second prince's shoulders trembled, and knowing that his guess was true, he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Fourth brother, you are still alive!" ”
The crown prince was so frightened that he couldn't figure it out, and when he heard the words of the second prince, he was shocked. He had heard some of the secret history of the palace back then, was the person in front of him really the one who died, but why was he still alive? Don't......
The crown prince looked at the second prince with cold eyes, his eyes were full of ruthless murderous aura, and he asked: "I don't know that the second brother, who is usually idle, is manipulating a shocking conspiracy behind his back!" ”
The second prince knew that he had been misunderstood, but he didn't know that today's situation was a dead end: begging Ye Ziyu to let the prince go, and the prince would definitely not let Ye Ziyu go afterwards.
"Conspiracy?" Ye Ziyu smiled mockingly, tilted his head and said, "If this is a conspiracy, I don't know what the queen planned to kill my mother and concubine in the first place?" ”
The crown prince couldn't stop trembling, and he naturally knew what the queen was doing. In fact, it was precisely because he was jealous that Ye Ziyu could enjoy better treatment than him that he played right and wrong in front of the queen, which made her hate Concubine Shu to the core.
The second prince is a good person, and his compassion does not allow him to watch his brothers kill each other, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Fourth brother, what happened back then has nothing to do with the prince, why should you be persistent and can't let go?" ”
Knowing that this consolation was weak and powerless, he was unwilling to give up any hope that could be recovered, hoping that Ye Ziyu could put down the long sword in his hand.
"Isn't it irrelevant? I think it's very relevant. Ye Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "At the beginning, his mother killed our mother and son, and now, I kill him first, and then kill his mother, isn't it very reasonable?" ”
"Damn the scumbag, just like that slut woman! Even if people know about your existence, they will want to tear you to pieces! As soon as the prince heard Ye Ziyu's insult to the queen, it was as if he had been stepped on by the tail, and the hideous laughter echoed in the secret room.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ziyu's mouth, looking at a clown who jumped off the beam. The prince's provocation or sarcasm are not important enough, the important thing is that he is going to die.
"Fourth brother! Do you know what you're doing? The second prince was worried, his pale face was full of despair, and said, "Could it be that this fire is also related to you?" Do you know how many people will die because of this? ”
"You just asked me to let him go, you know that I can't let him go, you don't have to say more, my patience with you has run out." Ye Ziyu twisted his eyebrows, and the second prince's blind favoritism made his heart irritable.
Seeing that the second prince was still in front of the prince, Ye Ziyu no longer gave in, and with a wave of his hand, the second prince was beaten elsewhere, the prince took the opportunity to slip away, Ye Ziyu quickly chased after him, and fought with the prince in one place.
The prince was at a disadvantage without weapons, but in the confusion in the library pavilion, the prince pushed to the bookcase, disrupting Ye Ziyu's progress.
Ye Ziyu's eyes were red, he had endured the enemy in front of him for a long time, and now he couldn't bear it for a moment. His figure was swift, and he came to the prince's side, raising his long sword to the prince's heart, and the prince finally knew that he was afraid, and showed a panicked expression.
The prince looked left and right, and there was nothing that could stop Ye Ziyu. At this moment, the second prince got up from the ground and was stumbling to stop Ye Ziyu, when a fierce light flashed in the prince's eyes, and he pulled him over and blocked him in front of him.
Ye Ziyu's complexion changed, and he wanted to put away the sword but it was too late, and the sharp blade was impartial to the heart of the second prince.
The second prince spat out a mouthful of blood, but the corner of his mouth was a relieved smile, and he opened his mouth and said, "Fourth brother...... You go, go, don't get caught...... It's great to see you again. ”
Before he finished speaking, the second prince collapsed with a bang, closed his eyes forever, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Ye Ziyu stepped forward to catch his corpse, and slowly put down the second prince with trembling hands.
This is the last person in the world who can be called a relative, and now he has also been brutally killed.
Seeing this, the prince wanted to take the opportunity to step forward and seize his long sword, Ye Ziyu suddenly laughed loudly, as indifferent and sad as the devil, he grabbed the long sword, and then gave the prince a chance to buffer, the cold light flashed, and it was convenient to break all the prince's hands and tendons.
"What a damn man, damn it!" Ye Ziyu's eyes turned red, like a bloodthirsty Shura on the road to hell, with an awe-inspiring murderous aura around him.
The prince was so frightened that he was incontinent on the spot, collapsed to the ground like mud, and looked up at Ye Ziyu speechless. The sharp pain in his hands and feet made him tremble, and the fear of dying made him desperate.
"Yes, I don't want to dirty my sword anymore." Ye Ziyu smiled coldly, looked at the prince contemptuously, took out a porcelain vase, leaned down and reached the tip of his nose.
The prince knew that there was something wrong with the porcelain vase, so he immediately held his breath, closed his mouth tightly, and retreated in resistance.
Ye Ziyu lost patience and immediately slapped him, with so much strength, he actually knocked out one of his teeth.
The prince's expression became hideous, grinning in pain, Ye Ziyu directly stuffed the elixir in the porcelain bottle into his mouth, forcing him to swallow it, the prince's expression was extremely painful, and after a while, he began to bleed from his seven orifices, and struggled painfully on the ground for a while, and then stopped moving.
If it weren't for the fear that others would find out, Ye Ziyu would definitely torture the prince well, let him suffer the most cruel punishment in the world, and then break him into thousands of pieces. But for now, he could only take his life with this lethal poison that no one could detect.
After confirming that the prince was dead, Ye Ziyu threw his body into the raging sea of fire as if dragging a dead dog. In an instant, the flames enveloped the body, scrambling to eat away at every inch of his skin.
"Burned in flames, and still have a human form." Ye Ziyu sneered and muttered to himself, "It's really cheap for you." ”
After saying that, Ye Ziyu turned around and looked down at the second prince on the ground with a complicated expression for a moment.
"Brother, you can accompany your mother with peace of mind, and I'll do the rest."
After finishing the clothes, Ye Ziyu took out a bone powder with a serious expression and sprinkled it evenly on the bare skin of the second prince. The powder quickly took effect, and the white smoke was accompanied by a sizzling sound, and the corpse was turned into a pool of blood in an instant.
The fire has been raging for a whole hour, and with the help of water from all sides, the momentum of the flames has finally weakened, but the entire Dahua Treasure Hall has also been crumbling from the original impregnable fortress, and the outer walls of the houses have been screaming from time to time, as if they will fall apart at any time.
Although the people below tried their best to hide it, the old emperor, who had fallen asleep, suddenly woke up from a nightmare, smelled the faint smell of burning in the air and found the abnormality, and heard that there was a fire in the Dahua Treasure Palace, so he immediately put on his clothes and rushed over.
In the open space in front of the Dahua Treasure Hall, five or six corpses covered with white brocade were neatly arranged, and these were all dead princes. As soon as the old emperor came, he saw such a scene, and immediately covered his heart with his hand, and he was about to fall.
"Hooray! Take care of yourself! A group of people hurriedly rushed up to support the old emperor, and the father-in-law in charge cried even more, and said bitterly comfortingly.
"Why is this happening...... The old emperor moved his lips, let out a low roar in despair, his eyes instantly turned red, and said, "What about King Chen? What about the Prince? Where are they! ”
"This ......" The housekeeper's father-in-law trembled with fright, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to say truthfully: "Too, the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, King Chen rushed into the fire in order to save Princess Linglong, and he hasn't come out until now......"
The old emperor closed his eyes, and a line of muddy tears welled up. Ten years after ascending to the base, he has never shed a single tear, but at this moment, his body is no longer up to him.
"Poof!" In the next second, the old emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of red blood, was dizzy for a while, and fell backwards.
The surrounding guards firmly held him, and the father-in-law in charge was so anxious that he hurriedly hugged the old emperor and shouted: "Imperial Doctor Xuan!" Hurry up and announce that the Imperial Doctor is coming! ”
During the ceremony, the doctors of the Imperial Hospital also rushed to the temple, but they were all in the base camp and were busy dealing with the injuries of the surviving princes, and they couldn't come for a while.
"Someone's coming out!" Suddenly, a voice of surprise sounded in front of me.
The old emperor's originally closed eyes opened suddenly, and he looked ahead expectantly. How he wished that the person who came out was Xiao Mochen!
In the firelight, a clear figure slowly walked out, as if it was a dreamy person in the painting, incompatible with the hellish despair around him.
Ye Ziyu lowered his head slightly, calculated his steps, and pretended to be weak and fell to the ground the moment he arrived at a safe place. The guards hurriedly rushed over to help, and after seeing his face clearly, they shouted to the back: "The second prince is out!" ”
Second prince? The old emperor's eyes that were full of hope just now were full of disgust in an instant, he raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "The strong and healthy ones did not come out, but the broken medicine jar came out!" ”
Of course, Ye Ziyu heard this, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't raise his head to look at the old emperor.
In fact, he didn't want to look at the man he was supposed to call his father again.
With a loud bang, a huge hole was burned out of the top of the Dahua Treasure Hall, and the flames soared into the sky, and the surroundings instantly brightened up as day!
The beams and pillars supported on the left side of the Great Baohua Hall also made a loud cracking sound, and the entire palace was about to collapse!
"Your Majesty! The palace is about to collapse, so please take shelter in a safe place! The father-in-law in charge was suddenly frightened and bloodless, and immediately pulled the old emperor to retreat.
"Rubbish!" The old emperor flicked his sleeves in anger and let out a thunderous rage, which frightened the surrounding guards and followers into taking a step back.
"Today, if King Chen can't come out of it alive, all of you will have to die!" The old emperor stretched out his hand, pointed at the people around him one by one, and threatened word by word.
The people around them all knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling like chaff
