Chu Cheng didn't know where to press the mechanism, and in the dim torture room, the old and dilapidated stone wall slowly sank, revealing the sky that was reddened by the firelight in the distance.

"How is that possible...... How can it be...... Jun Xi is not such a spineless person......" Jun Jinhua muttered.

Chu Cheng's eyes were more bloodshot, "Do you think she is someone who will kill herself for love?" ”

Jun Jinhua suddenly understood something, "She knows our plan?" ”

Chu Cheng was silent, but it was obviously a tacit acquiescence.

Jun Jinhua was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Jun Xi is dead, that's why you arrested me?" Her tone was full of sarcasm, "Admit it, Chu Cheng, you are just unwilling, unwilling to let you do everything, just for one her, but she is still defending the man she loves with her life." ”

From the day Junxi and the others stepped into the boundary of the capital, they had already fallen into a dead end.

It is a fact that southern Xinjiang controlled the entire court with Gu poison, and it is also a fact that the veteran ministers of the DPRK and China want to work together to get rid of the warriors who returned from the Northern Expedition.

Because they feel that the war is over, there is no need for military generals, and no one knows whether Yan Wangbei and Junchen will become a hidden danger in holding military power like Xibohou in the future.

The civil officials hated the military attaché for taking away their favor and the reward that belonged to them. Da Chu Shangwen, Wufu should be trampled under his feet.

Xibohou is a mad dog, the civil officials have no choice, so they will pick the soft ones first, such as Wuhou, the reputation of loyalty and righteousness for generations, Wuhou can't bear the infamy of being disloyal to his ministers, and when he is forced to a certain temperature, he will automatically hand over the military power.

The older the emperor is, the more he loves power, and holding military power in his hands will only fuel his ambitions, and suspicion will also grow.

How can the power in the hands be handed over?

What if Wuhou comes back and wants to return the military power?

The best way is to kill all the people of the Wuhou family, well, it's very cruel, but the people in power, who are many of them walking towards the golden dragon chair on the Jinluan Hall with a lot of blood?

The generals in the barracks were all brought up by Wuhou, and if they beheaded Wuhou, they would definitely anger the group of martial artists, what if the army rebelled?

Then kill all the generals promoted by Wuhou and the generals who have done things under Wuhou.

In the eyes of the royal family, Wuhou enjoys the hereditary throne of the royal generation, and he should be grateful to Dade a long time ago! The people who live in the Elysium of the Imperial City have never seen a pack of wild wolves in the border passes, they have not seen a river of blood flowing on the battlefield, and they do not know that under the yellow sand, there are all the bones of soldiers...... They are accustomed to comfort and pleasure, and feel that any place in the world is the same as the imperial city.

When a foreign enemy comes to attack, it may be a matter of suppressing a bandit......

Full of benevolence and morality, but in the bottom of his heart he doesn't know what kind of civil officials he is dirty, headed by Prime Minister Zhao Cheng, who will weaken the strength of the Great Chu army, the old emperor is afraid of being seized power, so he is naturally happy, if the soldiers under the vassal king are not as many as his imperial forest army, who would dare to usurp his throne?

They thought they were extremely smart, but they didn't know that this was the conspiracy of the Hu people and Southern Xinjiang.

To kill the generals of the Chu State is to break the fangs of the blue wolf. To cut down an army is to cut off the limbs of a wolf.

What can a beast that has lost its fangs and claws do except let it be slaughtered?

The army of the Northern Expedition went out of 100,000 and returned only 60,000.

The emperor still felt that there were too many people coming back, the war was over, he didn't need this group of warriors anymore, he raised this group of rice buckets, and he had to get military salaries every year, and the treasury was afraid that it would be too empty.

What the military division did before was all instructed by the emperor, and the emperor wished that the army of the Northern Expedition would die with the Hu people. He expanded his territory, and his generals lost the strength to compete with him......

But Yan Wangbei Junchen triumphed......

The emperor sensed threatened, and he wanted to get rid of all these hidden dangers.

The Duke of Protector is also crazy, but not as crazy as the old emperor, the prince is already a wasted person, and the sick and sick five princes have never shown the landscape, but there are medical valleys and the Mo family behind him to support, so the Duke of Protector is cooperating with Chucheng.

Since this Great Chu has festered, dig out those carrion, in the spring of the next year, there will always be fresh blood injected into the court, as long as the strength of the army is still there, the Great Chu will not have the day of death.

So Jun Jinhua came forward to wake up Junxi and tell her about the current situation, but he didn't want a bottle of medicine, so that Junxi guessed everything they were hiding.

It didn't matter whether the mark left by Tongxin Gu was true or false, she knew that she had become Jun Chen's weakness and a bargaining chip for Jun Chen to be threatened.

Her pride does not allow!

can see the situation that the Situ family is facing, how can Jun Xi not know what the Zhenbei Wangfu is facing?

She doesn't have three heads and six arms, she doesn't have a strategy, she doesn't have martial arts, she dodges the open gun, she can't dodge the hidden arrow, since those people want to deal with the Zhenbei Palace, or take away the things that originally belonged to her parents, it might as well be destroyed.

With endless karmic fire, burn everything they are greedy for.

How many secrets that have been silent in the years, and things that arouse the greed of human nature, have turned into a wisp of gunsmoke.

There is nothing that others have planted in the palace, and there is nothing that they want to get from the palace......

The princess Xiao Guo that Junchen brought back was just a fuse, she was always careless, as if she didn't care about anything, but she didn't know how much thought it took to peel off her heart layer by layer, and how much thought it took to engrave the name in her heart one by one.

Her love is like Fusang, who chooses death at the strongest time, and in the most painful way, engraves her name into the heart of the man she loves, and from then on, no one can take her place.

For the living can never compete with the dead.

Jun Jinhua's words made Chu Cheng laugh, but the bitterness spread little by little along the surging blood, and the heart was like a frozen river cracking fine lines, and then the lines became bigger and bigger, leaving only a hole.

"When you've laughed enough, let me go." Jun Jinhua said with a cold face, "If you only have this ability to bear, you should not fight for this country." ”

Chu Cheng's eyes swept to this side, "Someone once laughed at me for being cold-blooded, but when I executed the imperial brother I had never met, I hesitated a few times in my heart. Miss Jun is really the true inheritance of the grandfather of the country, and human life is nothing to you......"

Jun Jinhua laughed angrily, "Fifth prince, everyone is in the same boat, you are so rude to me, just want to be angry for Jun Xi?" Now that this anger is out, you can let me go back, right? Rest assured, I'm not so stingy as to deal with a dead man. ”

Chu Cheng said, "Seeing that your relationship is quite close on weekdays, I thought you would at least have some friendship." ”

Jun Jinhua raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with the five princes today, when it comes to laughing and killing, there are a few in the world that can compare to your royal family." I'm surprised, how can the royal people look down on Jun Xi one by one. Just because of her identity as the county lord of Zhenbeiwang? Or is it because of the Jun's cloud ride behind her? ”

"First of all, the concubine wanted to set Jun Xi as the crown princess, Jun Xi hid in Jiangnan, the five princes immediately saddled up and ran away, yesterday the ninth princess lost her temper at Jun Xi for no reason, and also put on a look of falling in love with Jun Chen, isn't it also hinting at Jun Xi, did someone attack Jun Chen last time at the celebration banquet? However, Jun Xi was unmoved, I don't know if he was too confident in Jun Chen or didn't find any hints from the Ninth Princess......"

Jun Jinhua's eyes dimmed for a moment, "Do you really think I want her to die?" I just want her to be nervous and keep an eye on Junchen. ”

Hui Ji will be hurt, she will always go in the direction of interests, that is because she has seen all the ways in all directions, and knows that only that road is her best way back.

Because she wasn't sure if Junxi understood what the Ninth Princess hinted at, someone pestered Junchen at the dinner party, so she dropped the medicine.

If the color of the symbiotic Gu is light, it means that the host of the other Gu worm is not loved, or it is fateful.

She thought that Jun Xi would be too attentive and would appear at the dinner party with Jun Chen, and with her jealous strength, she would definitely not let Xiao Guo and the princess of her relatives come into contact with Jun Chen, so that the old emperor's calculation would be partially disappointed.

Chu Cheng suddenly came out of the torture chamber, the dawn had passed, and a round of rising sun rose from the east, burning like a flame......

As if he had been hurt by something, he panicked and looked away.

"Junxi, why don't you give me a chance to atone for your sins?"

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, every step was a lotus, even if he had just come out of the torture room of an unknown number of dead people, this was everyone's lady, no matter when he couldn't mess up his manners, how many grains of rice he ate, how much saliva he drank, all of them came according to the rules.

Chu Cheng suddenly understood why the emperors of all dynasties had a very favored civilian concubine.

Breathe the breath of this imperial city, stiff, rigid, boring, muddy...... It's depressing.

It's like a cage, yes, the palace, it's always been a cage.

In the previous life, he exhausted this cage for the sake of it, will he still be like this in this life?

Chu Cheng was unsure, but he suddenly felt that the place in his heart was very empty, and here, there was nothing left for him.

In other words, even if he gets that monstrous power, he can't protect what he wants.

The first rays of morning light sprinkled on the earth, and Chu Cheng suddenly felt lonely, just that there was one less person breathing in this heaven and earth.

He touched the place of his atrium, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Jun Jinhua walked down from the stone steps, and the begonias that had not had time to be cleaned on the stone steps were crushed into flower mud.

"Let's go, it's time to close the net." Jun Jinhua said.

This place is avoided, it should be in the area of the Cold Palace, occasionally there are affectionate palace maids who come here to pay tribute to their former masters, and a piece of yellow paper is swept down to the foot of Chu City.

He crouched down, caught a glimpse of the unburned tin foil next to him, picked it up, and folded it into the shape of a gold ingot.

Jun Jinhua's heart jumped and said, "The palace prohibits burning paper money." "Even the queen doesn't have that right.

Chu Cheng didn't answer her, his long black hair was obediently attached to his cheeks, he was so careful when he folded the gold ingots, there was a rare piety between his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were always shining with fine light and calculation, and when they were clear, there was only a void left.

"Give me the fire fold." He said.

The guards quickly stepped forward and handed over the fire fold.

He lit the paper and gold ingots, watched the things burn little by little, and then said, "You won't accept my things, just borrow someone else's and talk about your heart." ”

The hand that was holding the fire fold, the joints of the bones were white, but it was not as relaxed as his tone.
