November 21, the winter solstice

Wei Qingguan has been hiding in the Chengfeng Hall since he sent Wei Jiang to the funeral and was assassinated, and has never appeared in front of people again, and the rumors about the prince in her womb have spread, and even several ministers in the court have doubts, and even those who are bold have asked Dongfang Chen about the prince of Wei Qingguan in the early dynasty.

Everyone was only waiting for the arrival of the winter solstice family banquet in the sound of speculation, wanting to find out......

The first heavy snow after the winter arrives as scheduled on the day before the winter solstice, the heavy snow flies overnight, the dead branches outside have long been wrapped in silver, the place where the eye is covered with snow, on the eaves of the window lattice, a row of crystal clear icicles is hung on the eaves of the window lattice, and the breath of the cold wind is biting from the mouth like frost, which has a winter fun.

Wei Qingguan accompanied Dongfang Chen to get up early in the morning, standing in the green and white snow of the pine trees, enjoying everything in front of him, in a good mood, breathing a cold breath, Wei Qingguan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Li Mo helped Dongfang Chen change into the auspicious clothes worn by the sacrifice early, as early as three days ago, the vassal kings from all over the country entered Beijing one after another and settled in their respective mansions in Beijing, the same is true for the Eighth Emperor, the capital has added three times the forbidden army to protect the safety of Jinggi, and Su Hao also transferred a lot of troops to be stationed outside the city.

In the past few days, Dongfang Chen's face has been tense all day long, and he is full of a lot of thoughts, Dongfang Chen doesn't say it, Wei Qingguan doesn't ask, he doesn't want to worry him frequently, now he just needs to be a "pregnant" queen.

At three o'clock, Dongfang Chen sat on his shoulder and went to the imperial tomb to worship the emperor, Wei Qingguan sat in front of the bookcase in the inner room, holding the picture book in his hand, looking at it boredly, and his mind was restless. Outside the Chengfeng Palace, Su Hao arranged many secret guards to protect Wei Qingguan's safety, and the entire inner palace was filled with a sense of tension and imminent anger.

Wei Qingguan flipped the picture book in his hand but couldn't read the book balance, and his heart involuntarily "bang" beat more and more uneasy, but fortunately threw away the picture book.

Banxia looked at her restless appearance, and said softly on the side, "Niangniang, don't worry, the emperor is protected by Lord Su Hao, and it is okay to think about it, even if the Eighth Emperor Master is bold, he will not dare to openly oppose the emperor so blatantly." ”

Wei Qingguan doesn't remember what the Eighth Emperor Lord looks like, he can establish his prestige in such a barren land, and there are so many people with strong martial arts under him, he should be a not simple character, who can know, will he be hot-headed and do it on the way to the sacrifice, after all, Dongfang Chen is in the light and in the dark!

Wei Qingguan tried his best not to think about it, but the more he had nothing to do and sat here, the more restless he became, and after thinking about it, he simply went to the small kitchen, kneaded the dough in it, and started eating, to pass the time, and let himself not think nonsense.

Dongfang Chen was very calm all the way, as early as when Dongfang Chen arrived, the vassal kings from all over the country were waiting outside the imperial mausoleum early, waiting for Dongfang Chen's arrival, among these people, the most eye-catching is that this outsider only looks at the Eighth Emperor with a heroic posture.

At the age of his early forties, he does not have the dirty posture of a big waist circle as he imagined, but he has the vicissitudes of life that are not confused in his forties, elegant and elegant, tall and tall, dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, standing among these people as if standing out from the crowd, and it is eye-catching at a glance.

The items used in the sacrifice, the mausoleum official who guards the imperial mausoleum is well prepared, headed by Dongfang Chen, kneeling and worshiping, there is already a mage reciting the sacrificial text on the side, everything is like previous years, in order, and there is no mistake, Dongfang Chen's eyes are slightly closed, and the body and mind are relaxed to listen to the sacrificial text read by the mage, and at the bottom, there are already people who are restless and cautious looking around, shocked that something is wrong, but can only frown, dare not make a difference.

Dongfang Ao's intuition was wrong, he only squinted at the mage who was chanting in front of him, grinding his teeth. Originally, he placed his own people, which would create a chaos, this time he entered Beijing, he had already made all the preparations, and he planned to hit it with one blow, obviously everything was planned, how could something go wrong at this time......

He couldn't have a seizure, so he had to settle down and make another plan!

That night, Aunt Roufu leaked to report, it was about the contact point of the Eighth Emperor in Beijing, which was the bargaining chip she exchanged with the Queen Mother, and the two must have something in exchange for joining forces, the Eighth Emperor handed over his contact station in the hiding place of the dead in Beijing, all the places were in the hands of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother wrote an autograph, and the Eighth Emperor Lord will become the first auxiliary minister after supporting the new emperor to ascend the throne, and no one can shake half of it.

Roufu thought about it for a long time, and on the night when the Queen Mother was drunk, he informed Dongfang Chen of the most important information, and Dongfang Chen called Su Hao overnight, and Su Hao led people to use the fastest speed to eliminate several contact points that the Eighth Emperor had been entrenched in Beijing for a long time, and also killed and arrested the people and horses inside, and isolated the Eighth Emperor from the world, so that no one had time to report to the Eighth Emperor that the remaining few fish had time to report to the Eighth Emperor.

He had already planned an assassination, the person who did it should have been a mage chanting scriptures, the Eighth Emperor's mind was extremely ingenious, he had already done his hands and feet in the incense burner, the bottom of the incense burner was placed with gunpowder, and **incense was placed on it, Dongfang Chen stood in front of him, smelled **incense, the algorithm master couldn't kill him, he could also let the explosives blow up Dongfang Chen, kill more than one stone, if it wasn't for Aunt Roufu to report, maybe Dongfang Chen would go to his way, and it was not impossible to be blown up.

After the sacrifice was completed, everyone withdrew from the main hall, Dongfang Chen walked in front of the people, ignored the somewhat sluggish, slightly flustered look, and just went straight to the carriage when he came.

Among the princes who followed behind, those with sharp eyes had already seen a row of corpses lying under the cedar tree on the side, the corpses had not been covered, the skulls were separated, and the blood stained the snow under them, bright red, which was particularly terrifying under this vast snow!

The several vassal kings who didn't want to cause trouble glanced at each other and got into the carriage when they came, while the eyes of the Eighth Emperor were staring at those corpses for a long time......

This is Dongfang Chen's hint to him, and it is also a warning, or a provocation. He endured the green tendons in his forehead, and he couldn't wait to tear Dongfang Chen apart in one bite, these people are all good hands that have been painstakingly cultivated over the years, and now they let Dongfang Chen kill so many at once, and in this way, in front of himself, he slapped himself in the face, how could he not hate!

When he was looking at him, someone had already grabbed him behind him, and whispered in his ear, "Don't look at it, let's go, this little emperor doesn't know what he's doing, look at this one!" ”

The Eighth Emperor took a long breath and sighed, then withdrew his gaze and left the Imperial Mausoleum......

Since the imperial tomb returned to the inner city, it has been a moment, Dongfang Chen has invited them to the palace for a banquet, the palace set up a stage, sang a Jin Ke stabbing Qin, the opera on the stage is in full swing, and in the stands under the stage, the eight emperors look around, like sitting on pins and needles.

Throughout the way, the Eighth Emperor was guarded by the people sent by Dongfang Chen for a moment, and he didn't even have the opportunity to talk to anyone, which made him look extremely cramped, Dongfang Chen came prepared, he was caught off guard by a play in the imperial tomb, and the guards around him were all guarded, obviously, Dongfang Chen should have received the most important clues, and today will be like divine help.

couldn't help it, his eyes became deeper and deeper, his dark expression was as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and he only stared at the queen mother who was sitting in front of him under the long skirt of the russet brocade robe, Gu.

The Queen Mother has been looking forward to it for a long time, just waiting for today's night banquet in the palace, and she can find an opportunity to discuss with the Eighth Emperor Lord about countermeasures to deal with Dongfang Chen, but since she came to this Changyin Pavilion, her body is like an invisible traction line tied, making people trapped tightly and unable to move.

The first thing she did was to look for Dongfang Taoyao, for nearly five months, she hadn't seen Dongfang Taoyao, since she came in, she looked around looking for her daughter, without waiting for her to question Dongfang Chen, Roufu had already spoken, saying yes, Dongfang Taoyao was arguing with Shangguan Qing outside the palace gate, the two were making trouble without saying a word, Dongfang Taoyao was angry, and did not want to appear again, so he left.

Such an excuse, if it is said by anyone other than Roufu, the Queen Mother will not believe it, she is born Roufu, she believes it!

Looking at the repertoire on the stage the whole time, the Queen Mother's mind was not in it, looking around, Wei Qingguan really didn't appear again, she was funny in her heart, and said to Dongfang Chen, "A few days ago, the queen Guining sent her mother to the funeral, saying that she received an arrow, and she has never seen anyone so far, it will be ten days now, what is the situation of the queen?" ”

The Queen Mother was intentional and said it very loudly, and everyone who was close to her naturally heard it, they were all curious, and seeing that Wei Qingguan was not there, they naturally pricked up their ears one by one. ⑧☆miào⑧☆bi(.*)gé⑧☆.＄.

"Isn't there any danger to the queen?"

Seeing that Dongfang Chen didn't speak, the Queen Mother made a chaotic appearance and said worriedly. "It's really a pitiful, it's only been a long time since the prince has been gone, it's easy to have a child, if it's really gone, the queen's madness is only afraid that it will be difficult for a lifetime!"

The sound of sobbing like pear blossoms with rain was vividly performed, Dongfang Chen smiled slightly, and replied, "Mother has a very good look and temperament recently, and I think the imperial doctor has been recuperating well for the queen mother recently." If the queen mother has time, she will walk around and exercise more, and the queen mother will not need to worry about it.

If you really want to worry about it, it's better to worry about it, why did the people hidden in the mountain cave outside the city thirty miles outside the city and the mountain stone cave outside Qingcheng Mountain suddenly all die of death, thinking about this matter should make the queen mother even more interested! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed color, and the face that was still gloating changed in an instant, pale and stiff......

"You...... How do you know? The Queen Mother's hands trembled, and she only said to Dongfang Chen tremblingly.

"You cheap woman, I knew I couldn't believe you, and sure enough, the son I raised next to me was closer, you are helping your son, and you came around in a big circle to dismantle my platform, old demon woman, see if I don't kill you today!"
