Before the pain could reach his brain, a chill had already surged over him.

Chu Changning.

She turned into ashes and Zheng Anhou recognized it, not to mention that Changning only painted a layer of earthy yellow camouflage today, and her facial features did not change.

Zheng Anhou was not one of those guards, he didn't dare to look directly at the princess on weekdays, and he recognized at a glance who this guard with his head down and stabbed him in the abdomen.

What Luoyang secret letter is, it's all fake.

"Drop it."

Blood trickled down the dagger and fell to the ground, Changning had already raised his head to look directly at Zheng Anhou, and when she saw the shock in his eyes, she didn't have the slightest softness, she pressed Zheng Anhou's shoulder with one hand, and twisted her other hand fiercely.

The dagger seemed to poke at a mass of dead flesh, making a twisting sound in the blood plasma.

At this moment, Zheng Anhou finally realized the fatal pain.

His screams were in his throat, but Changning was obviously more awake than him, and his right hand holding his shoulder went up to block Zheng Anhou's mouth, and with the other hand, he pulled out the dagger and inserted it again.

The sound of flesh and blood made Zheng Anhou's eyes widen frantically, and his body was pushed backwards.

Changning forced on, and did not stop until Zheng Anhou could no longer die, and let the paralyzed body fall.

Zheng Anhou finally died.

Changning squinted his eyes, and felt a sigh of evil in his heart.

This old dog has been calculating her from the beginning, poisoning the imperial grandmother, framing Mu Zhen and the five princes, and then chasing her all the way to Luoyang, even if some of them are not Zheng Anhou's masterminds, he is also the main accomplice.

What's more, the blood debt of the Liu family is still counted on Zheng Anhou's head.

The innocent people of the Liu family are still waiting for him on Huangquan Road.

Changning smiled fiercely and stepped over Zheng Anhou's bloody corpse.

The bright yellow gauze tent is right in front of you.

Since she was able to assassinate Zheng Anhou by surprise, it means that there is really no one else in this hall.

Zheng Anhou was suspicious by nature, and he naturally had to personally guard such a big matter as imprisoning the emperor, and he also arranged all the other guards outside the palace gate to prevent news from leaking.

This is indeed much safer, but it also has an Achilles' heel, that is, once someone breaks through the defense line of the main hall, it can be said to be a complete defeat.

However, Zheng Anhou had not considered this situation at all before.

Not to mention that this is the imperial palace, with Zhou Wan and Cai Mao guarding the layers of foreign dynasties, just saying that the protection of the harem Yu Gang for Zhong Cui Palace can be regarded as airtight.

How could anyone rush through such layers of guards?

Even if he could really rush in, it would not be possible to be silent, as long as any one person found a problem, it was enough to arouse the vigilance of Zheng Anhou and the guards.

It's a pity that their opponent is Changning.

There is also King Mu of Liaodong, who has always been known for being the first to anticipate the enemy.

The two had calculated the situation in the palace before entering the palace, and if Zhong Cui Palace was heavily guarded, they would use Yin Qiao to fabricate the secret edict to lure away Zheng Guifei and Zhong Cui's guards, creating chaos and taking the opportunity to touch in.

And Zheng Anhou was probably in the house, so she and Mu Qingyan rushed to make a fake secret letter overnight as a stepping stone, the purpose of which was to completely cut off the old dog.

Changning approached the yellow curtain, already mentally prepared.

I'm afraid the situation is not good.

Otherwise, how could my father lie on the bed so honestly.

She picked open the bright yellow gauze tent with a blood-stained dagger, and her movements were slow and vigilant.

There was nothing greasy on the dragon couch, and the emperor lay on the couch with his eyes wide open.

Changning's expression was stunned.

She really didn't expect to face such a father.

Although it was late autumn, the fire in the hall was not very cold, but the father put on a thick quilt and covered it tightly, making his face red.

And the yellowish marks on the top and bottom of the quilt were mottled, and they were urine stains.

In the past few days, none of Zheng Anhou and them have been willing to take care of their father's daily life!

"Father!" Changning stepped forward and was about to lift the quilt to let the emperor breathe.

"No ......" the emperor weakly refused.

Changning clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and squatted down, approaching the emperor.

She didn't force the emperor's quilt to be lifted.

The smell of just squatting down rushed to her brain, not to mention the situation under the quilt.

"The Zheng family is all damned!" She said fiercely.

The emperor's eyes were calm, and he opened his mouth to try to find his voice: "Dao...... Dao Yan ......"

Changning frowned.

The emperor's voice was too hoarse, and his voice was full of airflow, and Chang Ning lowered his voice in front of him before he heard his words clearly: "Go and find ...... Dao Yan ......"

"Don't talk about it first, the son wants to find a way to take you out, you ...... wait"

The emperor stretched out one hand and grabbed Changning's arm to prevent her from getting up.

"Father, I learned the method of peeling and changing your face, I peeled Zheng Anhou's face and put it on for you, and I can take you out of here, you insist on ......"

"Find ...... Daoyan! The emperor's eyes widened, almost bleeding, his thin hand was extremely strong, and Changning couldn't break free for a while.

"He'll tell...... will tell you everything......" The emperor's voice was hoarse and weird, Changning looked up along the emperor's dry hand, and found that the emperor's entire arm was like a withered branch, and his skin was sagging, like an eighty or ninety-year-old man.

Changning also sensed something strange.

The father is actually not too old, even if he was imprisoned and tortured by Zheng Anhou and others for more than ten days, he would not grow old like this so quickly?

The whole person is like a zombie that has been drained of energy, and it is extremely terrifying.

"Let's go...... Walk! The emperor pushed her, apparently not intending to flee with her.

Changning didn't understand his father's intentions even more.

The father wants to ......

Abandoned himself?

Changning felt very nonsense for a while.

How many generations of emperors have been unwilling to step down after sitting on the throne, so that they have survived their sons to death, and their grandsons have been old, forcing their children and grandchildren to rebel.

But the father was willing to give up his throne and not do it.

If you leave here with her now, you can make a comeback in the future, and all the Zheng family who humiliated her father will be sentenced to death.

But her father was able to face it calmly, and he didn't want to leave with her.

In the end, I don't want my daughter to see her embarrassed side and want to die with dignity.

Or did the father really have the motive to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

"Father, do you know that my grandfather has come out." Changning stood in front of the emperor's bed and said.

"Liu Yizhan, I will come out of the Luoyang Ancient Prison."

The Emperor closed his eyes and nodded silently.

Changning's face was solemn.

"You know everything, so who am I? What the hell do you want to do with my pawn? ”

Changning couldn't understand the reason why his father wanted to pass on the throne to her.

The emperor's Adam's apple rolled up and down: "You...... Not a pawn, I ...... Is. ”

"I am a chess piece, you ......" The emperor stretched out his two hands with all his strength to hold Changning's hand: "You are the emperor, you are the great Chu...... Xinjun ...... The Lady ......"

Changning's eyes widened.

Not only because of the familiar horrible mildew spots on the emperor's exposed chest, but also the emperor's words.

At this moment, his life is dying, and what he said can be regarded as his last words.

There was no need for her father to lie to her anymore.

Empress.

Her father really hoped that she would inherit the throne and become the first female monarch of Great Chu.

"Go...... Find Daoyan...... Tianyan Palace. The emperor pushed her hard: "No...... Time...... Finish! ”

Changning took a deep breath, turned his head and left.

This time, she believes, she is finally close to the truth.
