"If he is obedient, why should the mourning family be like this."

This cold sentence is enough to show that all the causes and conditions originate from this woman, this woman who has long lost her mind under the influence of hatred and power. Her life is undoubtedly unfortunate, but she also inflicts misfortune on innocent people, causing tragedy after tragedy.

Now, the truth has finally been revealed, but the boulder that pressed on Song Ran's chest has not been able to move away in the slightest, especially when she knows that she is really Gu Linsheng's daughter, this truth is even more cruel to her.

In addition to her, who didn't want to believe this cruel truth, there was also the second prince, and he muttered: "The father was killed by the emperor's grandmother? He shook his head, incredulous, "No, no......"

Shen Hanxi looked at him and said slowly: "Second prince, you should be glad that the first emperor did not pass the throne to you. ”

At the beginning, the reason why the saint was passed on to the current son, rather than his eldest son, was that he felt that with his stupid son's "innocent" nature, let alone sitting on the throne, he was afraid that it would be difficult to save his life. Today's son is different, he has known since he was a child when to be obedient, when to hide his edge, and most importantly, the death of Emperor Yongrui will keep him awake and calm at all times.

The Son of Heaven said coldly: "Grandmother Huang, the truth has been revealed, do you still want to continue to go your own way?" ”

The Empress Dowager looked around, knowing that if she continued to make trouble, it would be no good for anyone, and now that Dajing was in turmoil, no matter how irrational she was, she couldn't joke about Jiangshan Sheji, and after weighing, she made concessions: "The mourning family is already old, and if you live a few more days, it will only be a long breath, and before you go down to see their father and son, the mourning family has only one wish." Her eyes were slightly pale, and she said, "Emperor, as long as you kill Shen Hanxi immediately, the mourning family will let Xie He evacuate here, the country is yours, and Shaowei is still yours." ”

Song Ran's body stiffened suddenly, and the Son of Heaven also paused slightly. For him, this is an excellent condition.

No matter what way he thinks about it, there is no reason for him to refuse.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven did not speak, the Empress Dowager continued to shake his mind: "The emperor can also continue to drag until the soldiers and horses of the mourning family attack the imperial city, at that time, even if you kill the mourning family, this imperial city will eventually flow into a river of blood." The emperor was kind-hearted and presumably did not want to see such a scene. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned, and his eyes were dim.

King Chengwu raised his eyebrows, and even had the heart to joke: "Li Zhangyin, if you and this king die here today, it will really be a fire at the city gate and affect the pond fish." ”

Li Moting smiled slightly, and said calmly: "There is a difficulty in the saint, and the courtiers should be by the king's side, even if they die, they will die well." ”

King Chengwu couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at him, or he said that Li Moting was a person with exquisite faces, and he didn't forget to show his loyalty at this time. It's just that if the Son of Heaven can't win, his heartfelt expression is very wrong.

Song Ran looked calm and asked, "What if the Holy Admiral is killed, but Commander Xie doesn't withdraw his troops?" ”

The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought that she would be questioned like this, and said, "Xie He, prepare two glasses of wine." ”

Xie He brought the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, and presented the tray in front of her.

She took out a pill from her sleeve, broke the pill from the middle, and dissolved it into two glasses of wine in full view of everyone: "These two cups of poisonous wine, each dissolved half a pill of poison, drinking it is enough to kill." If the emperor thinks about it, the mourning family will drink it at the same time as Shen Hanxi. Before that, the mourning family will leave a decree, and the emperor should also know that the military department is under the orders of the mourning family, and with this edict, the right to transfer troops from the military department is yours. ”

As soon as her words came out, everyone in the temple changed their faces.

Song Ran didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would offer such generous conditions, just to exchange Shen Hanxi's life.

Her lips moved slightly, and in a voice that only Shen Hanxi beside her could hear, she called in a low voice, "My lord." ”

Rao is that no matter how calm she is, she is also a little scared at this time.

The corners of Shen Hanxi's eyes lifted slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that I can't escape today's catastrophe." ”

The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand to the cup of poisonous wine, Song Ran's breath suddenly stagnated, and before he could speak, he saw the other party's sleeves flick and sweep the two cups of poisonous wine to the ground.

Amber wine was sprinkled on the ground, and at this moment, the sun had set in the west, and the daylight through the carved windows had completely disappeared, and only darkness remained in the hall.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were only dark, and she said coldly: "The emperor's choice is really regrettable. ”

The Son of Heaven looked at her and said, "Grandmother Huang, the soldiers and horses you are waiting for will not come today." ”

After speaking, there was a sound of swords intersecting outside the hall, and the corners of the Empress Dowager's lips hooked: "At this time, the emperor can only bluff." But soon, her smile froze on her lips in the calm eyes of the Son of Heaven.

Her face changed, and she looked at the commander of the forbidden army standing beside her, Xie He immediately rushed out of the Jinluan Palace, but saw a few corpses lying outside the palace gate, and more of the forbidden troops who were originally stationed outside the hall were gone, replaced by the black armor army living in the main hall.

That's impossible!

This was Xie He's first thought. King Chengwu was able to lead people to break into Renshou Palace, because he brought few troops, and his attention was not on Xihuamen at that time, so this prince took advantage of the loophole, but so many soldiers and horses must have been transferred from the Lingbei camp, as long as there is the slightest change in the Lingbei camp, it will be transmitted to the military department, and it is impossible for the military department and the Shendu camp to let them break into the imperial city so easily. Even if King Chengwu's soldiers and horses were strong and able to fight, it was impossible to come to the Jinluan Palace in such a short period of time.

Unless—

Unless the military headquarters and the Divine Governor's camp have been controlled, they can move freely within the imperial city.

Xie He didn't know that just half an hour ago, the military department and the Shendu camp welcomed two guests.

These two people, one is Cui Yu, a young general newly promoted by the Son of Heaven, and the other is Xiao Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Xie Qi stood on the city gate, standing side by side with the young Lord Shangshu, looking at the cavalry in black armor under the city tower heading towards the direction of the imperial city, and bent his peach blossom eyes: "I heard that Lord Xiao Shicai personally beheaded the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in front of all the officials of the Ministry of War, and handed over his seal to Cui Yu, and ...... I really underestimated the courage of adults. ”

The young man was dressed in a silk robe, with a white gauze midcoat exposed at the collar and cuffs, and if you looked closely, you could see blood stains on the sleeves of his robe.

He looked calm, looked at the forbidden city in the distance, and said: "The military department Shangshu has controlled the right to transfer troops for many years, squeezed out and suppressed young generals, and in the Tatar war, he actually falsely passed on military orders for his own selfish desires, and now, he has joined forces with the empress dowager to be unfavorable to the saint, which article is not a capital crime?" Xiao was appointed to be a saint and had the right to cut first and then play. ”

Xie Qi looked away from his side face, turned around and leaned against the city wall, although he was wearing military armor, he still did not hide his debauchery: "If I don't open this city gate today, will Lord Xiao also behead me?" ”

"Won't Xie Tong open the city gate?"

Xie Qi didn't speak, his eyes were gently lowered, all his emotions were hidden in the shadow of the long eyelashes, and after a while, he saw him straighten his sleeves and said with a smile: "The thing I regret the most in my life is the day my eldest sister entered the palace, I didn't stop it." ”

This sentence is a little inexplicable, maybe even he doesn't know why he mentioned it......

Seeing those black-armored soldiers surrounding, Xie He immediately turned around and wanted to retreat into the palace gate, but before he took two steps, a knife was already against his heart, and a voice sounded unhurriedly: "Commander Xie, you are capable enough." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu clenched the dragon-patterned saber, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes: "It's a pity, your official career is going to end here." ”

Seeing that Xie He was held against the knife and retreated to the hall, the forbidden troops in the hall immediately understood the situation in front of them.

Even if they kill the Son of Heaven, it will be difficult for things to turn around, they just obey the orders of the Lord, and at this time, there is still a possibility of survival. Under the leadership of one person, the others also threw away their weapons and were captured.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but shake her body, and instantly seemed to be ten years old.

The Son of Heaven walked up to her, looked at her quietly for a moment, looked away, and did not say a word to her.

He lightly ordered: "Send the imperial grandmother back to Renshou Palace." He said to Li Moting again, "The emperor's grandmother is ill and has sent someone to serve her, and no one is allowed to approach Renshou Palace without my order." ”

Li Moting naturally understood what he meant, what he meant was to detain the Empress Dowager in Renshou Palace, and in her life, she would never have the opportunity to contact anyone who the Holy Lord did not want her to see.

Song Ran let go of Shen Hanxi's hand, walked in front of the Empress Dowager, raised her dark eyes, and asked her, "When you were poisoned, did you ever think that they were also other people's children, and they were also treasures that were once held in the palm of their hands by their parents?" ”

The Empress Dowager's cold and hard expression was still the same, looking at her hand with Shen Hanxi, even if she was down, her voice still contained indescribable majesty: "Shaowei, the enemy who killed his father is right in front of him, don't you avenge your father, do your filial piety, do your filial piety, do you want to join hands with him and betray your grandmother?" ”

There was a pale and faint smile on the corner of the young woman's lips: "Even if he is really my biological father, he abandoned my mother, and for many years, he has never come to Yaozhou to find me." Maybe he didn't know I existed, or maybe he knew I existed, but he chose to abandon me like his mother when he abandoned me. She raised her eyes, and there was a clear and penetrating light in her eyes, "A father who has never raised me for a day, a father who is stingy with even the slightest love, why should I be filial to him?" ”

Shen Hanxi turned his gaze to her, on his always calm and waveless face, the corners of his lips rose at this time, revealing a hint of a smile.

His littleness stood in the deepest darkness, but it seemed that a light fell on her, shining on her body transparently, flawlessly.

The Empress Dowager was furious and scolded: "Evil obstacles! ”

With her angry scolding, Zhao Gonggong, who had been standing beside her, suddenly pounced and held Song Ran hostage in his arms. A dagger rested on her throat, and the short, senile eunuch trembled, "Quit, give me all the way!" ”

It happened so quickly that even the nearest King Chengwu didn't have time to react.

Su Long's mouth couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "Ink girl! ”
