When she entered the palace again to see the Night Emperor, she took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to take her to sneak into the palace. This time, it was the first time Mu Xi saw the appearance of the Night Emperor.

His whole person was like a withered old man, with deep sunken eye sockets, and dark blue around his eyelids, which looked very terrifying. When he saw Mu Xi, he waved the night clouds away, and he was silent for a long time, and he didn't say a word.

Just when Mu Xi was nervous, the Night Emperor suddenly smiled. Mu Xi looked up at him, only to see a smile on the corner of his lips with a thick mockery.

He sighed, "That's it, I've been obsessed with power all my life, and I thought I would control everyone in my own hands. As a result, I can't escape the nightmare of the cycle of life and death, so I will be used by my son, which is really ridiculous, but it is also my own reaping the consequences.

Only Yun'er, I'm sorry for him. He is a good son of my Yeyun royal family, and I only want to keep the country of Yeyun now, and when everything is still too late, to avoid turbulence at the root of the country. ”

Mu Xi didn't understand why the Night Emperor told her this, and she even felt that knowing these secret things about the palace would only lead to death. The Night Emperor seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's too late to be afraid at this time. I wronged your father and exterminated the nine clans of the Mu family. You are the only bloodline of the Mu family, and it stands to reason that you should stay away from the capital and stay incognito, however, you don't. Why would you want to stay? Isn't it because of my clouds? ”

Mu Xi wanted to refute, in fact, she opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she saw the Night Emperor take out a roll of bright yellow silk cloth from his arms, he handed the silk cloth to Mu Xi, and said: "Now, I don't believe anyone, you are a person who is dedicated to Yun'er, and it is most appropriate for this edict to be entrusted to you for safekeeping." ”

"What? Edict! ”

Mu Xi's eyes widened, staring at the silk cloth that was close in front of him. The Night Emperor shook the silk cloth in his hand again and said, "You can take a look first." ”

Mu Xi stabilized her senses, took the silk cloth and unfolded it, the content on it surprised her even more, and she also understood why the Night Emperor insisted on handing over this edict to her for safekeeping.

The Night Emperor was bewitched by Ye Mingshen, who had returned from the Path, and ate too many five stone scatters in order to seek immortality, and now that the oil was exhausted, Ye Mingshen colluded with Concubine Li, and he was about to force the palace. Now, the Night Emperor can only take advantage of his temporary sobriety to find the person who entrusted the edict.

Ye Fuyun is not only the prince of Yeyun Kingdom, but also the concubine of Northern Xinjiang, if no one else comes up with the edict and ascends the throne justifiably, and then Ye Mingshen splashes dirty water, I am afraid that the hat of killing his father and usurping the throne will be buckled on his head.

If that's the case, the throne falls into the hands of Ye Mingshen, how can the Night Emperor die blindly?

Mu Xi no longer shirked, hid the edict, and looked at the Night Emperor with sympathy, he had been poisoned deeply, and she had no way to get him. Or, as he himself said, he was self-defeating. At the beginning, he was able to ignore the lives of the people of Yunxi City and ruthlessly push his own son into the abyss, how could he have thought about their feelings?

A gust of wind swept her face, and Ye Fuyun suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbed Mu Xi's wrist, and pulled her out without saying anything.

At this time, the palace has changed, Concubine Li took people to control the entire harem, Ye Mingshen sent people to surround the palace, no one could get in, no one could get out. When a team of Imperial Forest Army hurried to the Night Emperor's dormitory, Night Fuyun happened to leave the palace with Mu Xi.

This night, the wind and rain were shaky, and the storm seemed to wash away all the ugliness and filth of this world, and the next day, the sky cleared. The blue sky was like a wash, and all the officials walked into the palace in turn, heading to the main hall of the early dynasty.

They won't know how much blood was shed last night on the marble floor they have stepped on now, and there is no trace of a heavy rain, and the ground is still smooth and clear.

The ministers walked up the stairs and walked to the main hall step by step, and when they reached the entrance of the main hall, a father-in-law with a face sang: "Your Majesty has died..."

"Huh? Your Majesty... Your Majesty is dead? What's going on? How did it suddenly die? ”

The civil and military officials looked at each other, gossiping, obviously out of order. The prime minister stood up and comforted the officials, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, even if Your Majesty dies, he must have left a testament, I'll wait and see." ”

Sure enough, after listening to his words, everyone gradually calmed down. Not long after, a white Ye Mingshen rushed over, he bowed to everyone, and said sadly: "Father, Father died last night......"

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but Ye Mingshen can't help crying. Everyone was in a hurry to comfort and persuade, but they didn't know what to do for a while.

Someone asked, "Your Royal Highness, were you there when His Majesty died last night?" ”

Ye Mingshen nodded sadly, "Last night, my father was unwell, and Concubine Li sent someone to pass on my father's edict and declare King Ben into the palace. Who knows, my father is in too much of a hurry......"

Hearing this, everyone sighed, and someone said: "Could it be that Your Majesty died before he had time to prepare the edict?" ”

In this way, everyone began to talk about it again, only the prime minister and a few officials looked coldly at Ye Mingshen, who was talking to himself. At this time, the eunuch who was born said: "Who said that Your Majesty did not plan an edict, Your Majesty's edict is at Concubine Li's mother." Everyone also knows that Gonggong Chen had been to the Northern Desert at the beginning, and His Majesty would not hand over the edict to him, so His Majesty's edict was entrusted to the most trusted Concubine Li. ”

The prime minister and several officials were indifferent, and the others were boiling, and immediately asked the eunuch to invite Concubine Li. The eunuch stood still, and after a while, a group of palace maids and guards came over surrounded by Concubine Li.

Concubine Li held a roll of bright yellow silk cloth high in her hand, walked in front of everyone with a solemn expression, unfolded the silk cloth herself, and recited aloud: "Your Majesty's edict is here, and you lords kneel to receive it." ”

All the officials knelt down one after another, "The ministers will receive the order." ”

Concubine Li's soft voice read the edict clearly, "I have recently dreamed of the end of my life, I am afraid that I will think about danger in the century-old society of the country of Yeyun, fortunately, there is now the emperor's eldest son Ye Mingshen, who has a noble character, and is worthy of the great task of succession. ”

"Wait!"

Before the officials' words could be said in their throats, a female voice as crisp as a pearl fell from the jade steps. The officials followed the prestige, only to see one person slowly walking up the steps.

She was dressed in white like snow, and only a white magnolia hairpin was inserted in her simple bun. The face without fat powder is clear and beautiful.

Seeing Mu Xi, Ye Mingshen suddenly had an ominous premonition, Concubine Li's face was already ugly at this time, her eyes were like quenched snake venom, she stared at Mu Xi viciously, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you, dare to trespass into the palace?" Come on, take it for the main palace! ”
