Chapter 125: The Conspiracy to Force the Palace
Xiao Yichen and Xue Yi both know that at this time they are ready to fly, Xiao Yichen has to go, and this time is indeed as Xiao Yichen said, life and death are unpredictable, if Xiao Yichen is defeated, then the emperor and he will definitely die, if he wins, the emperor may not read his rescue but will suspect him of usurping the throne, and it is inevitable to add crimes.
Xue Yi knelt on the ground, her eyes were tearful, her lips were smiling, she picked up the wine cup on the table and handed it to Xiao Yichen's hand, her voice was ethereal and clear, and it was also strong and sad: "Lord, the concubine does not keep the prince, but accompany the prince to drink all the wine in this cup, and the right to be the concubine is strong for the prince!" Xue Yi leaned up and drank it, and the mouth of the wine cup rushed down, and there was not a drop.
Xiao Yichen also smiled and nodded: "Okay!" Xiao Yichen married a wife like this, if I can return safely, I promise you that I will accompany you to hide in the mountains and forests in this life, and I will never ask about the court again! ”
The two looked at each other, and a thousand words were choked in their chests.
"Lord Wang! Late will change! The urging outside the window sounded again.
Xiao Yichen stood up and strode to the door, his hands fell on the door and did not open for a long time, Xue Yifu said: "The concubine sends off the prince, wait for the good news!" ”
Xiao Yichen didn't say anything more, strode out of the door and swept away!
The moment the door closed, tears slipped silently from the corners of Xue Yi's eyes, and the three-foot white silk flew up to Zhu Liang, Xue Yi slowly got on the square stool, pulled Bai Aya into a dead knot, and looked at the south in the face of the palace and only waited for Xiao Yichen's news! As she swore to win, win, accompany him to reign in the world, defeat, accompany him to the poor and fall to the Yellow Spring!
But I didn't know that the victory or defeat had already been decided before this trip was made!
Xiao Yichen stood on the ridge of the roof, took one last look at the light in Xueyi's room, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm sorry, Xue'er!" "Turn around and float away.
In the purple alley, a man stood on the roof with his hands in his hands, wearing a white coat fluttering in the night, handsome and chic and even more noble and handsome, Xiao Yichen fell behind the man for a short time.
"Are we ready to go?" The man didn't look back, but he seemed to know who was standing behind him.
Xiao Yichen didn't answer, his toes hit the ground, and went straight to the palace.
At this time, in the imperial study, Xiao Guozhu calmly reviewed and folded, as if he didn't know that the thunder and lightning outside the window and the wind and rain suddenly rose, the wind blew the doors and windows crackling, Xiao Guozhu didn't look at it, and the five fathers in the inner chamberlain picked up the octagonal glass lamp again and again, and he hesitated for a long time in the face of Xiao Guozhu After all, he still didn't speak.
Lord Xiao stretched out his arms lazily closed his eyes and asked lightly, "The fifth father-in-law has something to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, at this time, it's nearly three watches, and it's not early, isn't it time to rest?" The fifth father-in-law knelt in front of the Longshu case, he was originally the inner servant beside Concubine Yuan, only because after Concubine Jing was defeated, the chief of the inner chamberlain, Bi Andong, after the incident, after his death, Concubine Yuan sent him to the emperor's side, the fifth father-in-law has a benefit, serving Concubine Yuan that day, only admitting Concubine Yuan as the main in his heart, but obeying his orders, and now following the lord of Xiao Guo, there is only one master in his eyes, and he does everything himself. Lord Xiao's diet on weekdays was originally tasted by a special person, but he would taste every food before the Holy Drive, just to ensure the safety of Lord Xiao's diet.
Lord Xiao smiled, looking at the window with a rather sad tone: "Really? So soon, three shifts...... Fifth father-in-law, go down and rest, and let the widow listen to the wind and rain alone tonight. ”
The fifth father-in-law kowtowed: "Since the emperor is not tired, the slave is with him, and the slave ordered the kitchen to prepare jade soup, I don't know ....... the emperor?" ”
Before the fifth prince finished speaking, the door slammed open, the fourth prince Xiao Yishuo stood at the door in a bright yellow brocade robe, and the four uniformed guards stood behind him left and right, Xiao Guozhu looked at the fifth prince with a surprised look on his face and shook his head slowly, and sighed: "Alas....... I'm afraid that someone won't even give this last bowl of soup to the widow to drink! ”
Xiao Yishuo walked into the imperial study step by step, lightning pierced the night sky, his white face was gray and hideous, the thunder was deafening, the click was terrifying, the father and son looked at each other, Xiao Yishuo slowly approached the lord of Xiao, and called in his mouth: "The son sees the father." "He bowed to the shrine but still approached step by step, and did not salute.
Lord Xiao sat firmly in front of the dragon book case, smiling: "Shuo'er, you arrived a moment early." ”
Xiao Yishuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "It seems that my father has long known his every move to his son's ministers, but this will come sooner or later, what will happen if it arrives early?" ”
Lord Xiao nodded: "Yes, maybe it should have come a long time ago!" Shuo'er, you do it. ”
Xiao Yishuo pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and stared at Lord Xiao stunned: "Do you know the purpose of my coming today?" ”
"It's just for it!" Lord Xiao raised the jade seal of the country, and his smile was still there.
"Father doesn't object?"
"Is my objection useful?"
"Then please ask your father to give an edict!"
"Now that you have a bamboo in your chest, why do you need me to give an edict? I'm afraid that your Dark Guard has already controlled the Imperial Forest Army in the palace at this time, right? Shuo'er, do it! Only when you die at your hands can your father be willing to turn a blind eye! "Lord Xiao suddenly stood up and was killed!
Xiao Yishuo's hand holding the sword trembled, and at this time, a thunderclap resounded through the sky, and the unsheathed sword actually fell back into the scabbard! The lightning flashed as bright as day, Xiao Guozhu's face was quiet, he turned his head to stare at the night sky, and muttered: "More than 20 years ago, it was also such a night, and there was also such a person who wanted to seize the throne, and the widow actually trapped her in injustice in order to keep this chair, in the past 20 years, how could the widow have a day of peace of mind and no longer regret it, the widow killed the person who should not be killed, and the person who should not be indulged, today is the retribution of the widow!" Shuo'er, do it! ”
Before forcing the palace, Xiao Yishuo hated his father very much, it was his father who gave him hope, once the ancestral prince of the Yueyue Kingdom was named the king of Tianbao, then he would be the prince of course, but his father did not announce to the world that he would be the crown prince, that day, he received a secret letter, which was actually his father's holy decree to pass the throne to Xiao Yichen! At that moment, Xiao Yishuo went crazy, he wanted to rush into the palace immediately to ask clearly, and ask his father why he would rather pass on the throne to a cripple than let him ascend the throne and sit in the palace?!
It was Mrs. Daiyan who persuaded him, and it was Mrs. Daiyan who made him make the final decision, he wanted to be the emperor! The so-called success and defeat of the king, since this edict of succession has fallen into his hands, then it is the opportunity given to him by God! Since the edict was lost, Xiao Yichen decided not to look for it with great fanfare, let alone tell his father about it, he wanted to force the palace! Forced his father to abdicate the throne!
Xiao Yishuo stared at Lord Xiao, unable to hide his sadness and desolation: "Father, why?" Why would you rather pass on the throne to Xiao Yichen's cripple?! Why not me?! What the son doesn't want to do, it's the father who forced the son to do this! ”
"Shuo'er, if your father passes on this throne to you, can you be the Taiping Emperor? Shuo'er, you're wrong! If your father passes the throne to you, it will really hurt you! ”
"Hahahaha......." Xiao Yishuo looked up to the sky and smiled, his handsome blue face was close to Xiao Guozhu's face, and said coldly: "You are talking nonsense, you are quibbling, are you still unwilling to fulfill me at this time?" Perhaps, as long as you write an edict to pass the throne to me, I guarantee that you will enjoy your old age in peace and be an emperor! ”
"Shuo'er, it's not that my father doesn't depend on you, it's that my father can't rely on you."
General Pang of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division hurriedly rushed to the imperial study, seeing that Xiao Yishuo was soft-hearted and seemed to have remorse at this critical time, he couldn't help but be surprised, forcing the palace to usurp the throne is a major crime that the nine clans of Zhulian Ling Chi executed, if it fails, all the people involved will definitely die, and the family is also lifeless, and he hurriedly shouted: "When will the prince not do it?" Does the prince think that the emperor will really let the prince go? ”
"Brothers, I have to do it now, and the emperor may let the prince go, but there is no reason to spare you and me, and the lives of hundreds of families of you and me can be fought here!" A voice was like a stick, waking up the hesitant crowd, the arrow swept towards the Lord Xiao like a meteor, and the sound of 'poof' the iron weapon sinking into the flesh made a slight sound, and the thunder and lightning drowned out the sound of the drum of the third watch!
Outside the imperial study, the swords rang out, Xiao Yishuo's handsome face was hideously twisted, the sword was against his biological father's chest, and his eyes were flushed: "You were prepared, didn't you?" ”
Lord Xiao sat on the dragon chair and bowed slightly: "Shuo'er, do you really think that your father doesn't know about the matter with Concubine Jing?" At that time, my father should have listened to Concubine Yuan's imprison you, but my father didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that Shuo'er would rebel. ”
Xiao Yishuo smiled suddenly: "Hahahaha...... So far, I'd rather be broken than broken, you...... Don't hate me! ”
"Lord Wang, let's do it! It's too late! A person with blurred flesh and blood suddenly broke into the imperial study, and the whole person pounced on Xiao Yishuo, Xiao Yishuo was unprepared, and the sword did not enter the chest of the lord of Xiao.
"Father....... Emperor!" At this time, Xiao Yishuo stared at his sword in a daze, staring at his bloodstained hands.
"Shuo'er, do you know that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind?" Lord Xiao held the hilt of the sword, his eyes widened, and his pale face was a strange smile.
A person insinuated into the room, the sword ran through the front chest from the back of Xiao Yishuo's chest, Xiao Yishuo looked down at the tip of the sword exposed on his chest, as if he didn't believe his eyes!
"The slave and maid are too late to save the car, I hope the emperor will forgive the sins!" The person who came knelt in front of Lord Xiao and kowtowed.
"If you are here to save the driver, what is the crime?" Lord Xiao's eyes were always fixed on the door, as if he was waiting for someone.
Xiao Yishuo woke up from the shock, he pointed at the purple-clothed woman standing beside Xiao Guozhu with trembling eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it you?" It's you...... It's really you! Hahahaha......."
When the woman raised her head and stared at Xiao Yishuo with cold eyes, he realized that she was a big fool, and she was walking according to the path that others had drawn for him!
