In the Qianqing Palace, after the song was completed, the dancer retreated.

Chu Shize looked at the moon outside and walked to the center of the hall, "The hour is almost up." ”

Yuan Yongyan also looked outside, nodded and said, "It's really almost." ”

Lin Jikuo went down the steps and stood in the center of the hall.

Yuan Yongyan took a bite of food leisurely, "I didn't expect my personal guard to be the third prince of Gutuo, when I knew, I was also frightened, should I call you Yuan Jikuo now?" ”

Chu Shize was stunned, "You know everything? ”

"I also know that you have taken great pains to arrange for a woman to be by my side, but unfortunately this woman is so incompetent that I will see her true purpose in less than ten days." At the end, Yuan Yongyan added, "And what she put in my tea." ”

"I told you a long time ago, you know your methods, but you don't know other people's methods." Yuan Yongyan stood up, "That fake Su Ao is dead, and there is my clothes and fabric by his side, do you think I won't find out the reason." ”

"You knew it when you were in Hou Yan?"

"I found out some clues when I was in Hou Yan, and I knew them soon after I returned to Gutuo."

Lin Jikuo said, "Since you know, why do you still let me stay by your side?" ”

"I just want to see how ambitious you are, but it's just that, you want to unite Hou Yan's waste."

"Now that you know, you should cut down the grass and eradicate it as soon as possible, otherwise you will leave a disaster for yourself." Chu Shize sneered, "Yuan Yongyan, you will pay the price for your self-righteousness, tonight is your death date, come here." ”

Guards dressed in uniform service poured into the hall like a tidal wave, surrounding the people of the main hall.

Chu Shize laughed, "Yuan Yongyan, have you thought of this?" ”

Yuan Yongyan didn't raise her eyelids, and in an instant, a large number of guards poured out of nowhere, surrounding all the ones who appeared earlier.

Chu Shize's face changed instantly, and he looked at Lin Jikuo as if asking for help.

Lin Jikuo waved his hand, and dense guards dressed in black night clothes appeared on the roof, and all corners of the courtyard and each exit were also guarded, and the arrows were wound, just waiting for an order.

Yuan Yongyan's eyes narrowed slightly, Lin Ji knew very well how much ability he had, he could ambush him by his side for so many years without being discovered by himself, and his meticulousness could be seen to be extraordinary. For tonight, I made complete preparations, but I didn't expect to underestimate his ability.

"Just because of that, you want me to give way? Although you are the leader of the Imperial Guards and have soldiers in your hands, you should also know my methods. ”

Lin Jikuo slowly drew his sword and pointed at Yuan Yongyan, the meaning was self-evident.

The lonely figure under the cold moonlight, the further he walked, the deeper the bad premonition in Chu Junxi's heart, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and in the end he almost ran up, the Qianshi Hall was in sight, the lights were bright, and the sound of fighting kept coming into his ears.

At the gate of the palace, Qin Keqing and Yuan Huayin were stopped by the guards, "The two of you can't enter the palace." ”

"Why?" Yuan Huayin said sharply, "I order you as the eldest princess to get out of the way." ”

"Even the eldest princess can't go in now." The guards didn't back down.

"Are you ......" Yuan Huayin was angry, "You are a little guard, and you actually stopped this princess?" ”

Qin Keqing took her hand and shook her head.

"But ......"

"There is an ambush all around, we can't get in, you are pregnant now, I can't let you take the risk. Ning He has already gone in, even if we go in, we can't change anything, it's better to go back and wait for news. ”

Although he was unwilling, Yuan Huayin knew that what he said was right, so he had to follow him and leave.

Yuan Yongyan's martial arts are not weak, but he is the prince, more of a decree, and after ascending to the throne, he is more about dealing with court affairs. Lin Jikuo is his bodyguard, he regards protecting his life and death as his own responsibility, there are no superfluous things to distract him, plus he is bent on revenge, and he spends all his time practicing, Yuan Yongyan is naturally not his opponent.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Yuan Yongyan was defeated.

Lin Jikuo slapped a palm on Yuan Yongyan's chest, Yuan Yongyan spit out a mouthful of blood, and retreated again and again, Lin Jikuo pressed closely, and the sword in his hand was straight to his chest.

"Don't." Chu Junxi, who rushed over, happened to see this scene and had the heart to stop it, but he was too far away to catch up.

The cold sword sank into his chest, almost piercing it, and bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Jikuo's pupils constricted, the sword in his hand was forced, and the sword that sank into his chest entered a few points.

Song Shuyi had a smile on her face, and let the sword pierce her body, "I can die for the emperor, and I will die without regrets." ”

"You ......" Yuan Yongyan looked at the woman who was blocking in front of her at the last moment in horror.

"The moment the emperor saved our family, my life was the emperor's, and I was really happy to die for the emperor." Song Shuyi slowly raised her hand, held Yuan Yongyan's hand, and unfolded a bloody smile, "These hands, I finally held them, they were as warm as I thought." ”

"I know that the emperor will not fall in love with me, and I never expect the emperor to fall in love with me, as long as I am silently by the emperor's side, I will feel very happy, no matter what the emperor wants me to do, I will do it, even if it is my life, I will not hesitate."

Song Shuyi put the hand in her hand to her cheek, "Even if I die, I will watch the emperor from heaven, and I will always be by the emperor's side." ”

The sword piercing the body moved little by little, the bloody hand hung down, and with a satisfied smile, it was happy to die in the arms of the person he loved.

Lin Jikuo continued to exert force, and the sword body penetrated Song Shuyi's body, and a small section had already submerged into Yuan Yongyan's body, as long as he continued to move forward, it would be one sword and two lives.

With a warm hand on his hand, Lin Jikuo turned his head.

Chu Junxi had tears in his eyes and slowly shook his head, "Don't." ”

"Yuanyuan."

"Don't."

Holding his hand so hard, Lin Jikuo stopped the sword in his hand, "You let me let him go?" Have you forgotten how Empress Xia treated her mother? Forget how she treats you? Have you forgotten all this? ”

"Queen Xia is dead, and the grievances of the past will disappear with her, okay?"

"But what about our suffering? Who will compensate us for all these years of suffering? ”

Two clear tears slid from Lin Jikuo's cheeks, Chu Junxi was shocked by his tears, who said that men don't flick when they have tears, but it's just that it's not time to be sad. Such a strong man did not cry when he was starving and almost died, and he did not cry when he endured humiliation and burdens to protect Yuan Yongyan's safety, but he shed tears at this moment.

Chu Junxi stretched out his hand and gently wiped away his tears, using his most tender mood. "When is the time for retribution? You've got what you want, so let it all end, okay? ”

Letting go of the hand that prevented Lin Jikuo from pushing the sword, Chu Junxi wrapped his hands around his waist, buried his face in his chest, and then, holding his hands hard, and then exerting himself, as if he wanted to use up all his strength.

The hand holding the sword finally let go, and Lin Jikuo's hoarse voice said slowly, "Okay." ”

"It's a touching picture." Chu Shize stood in the center of the hall with applause, and the applause was particularly abrupt in the silent hall, "No matter how good the play is, there is a time for the curtain to end, and now is not the time to make brothers and sisters fall in love." ”

Yuan Yongyan stood up slowly, blood flowed out of the wound on his chest, stained the placket on his chest, and fell to the ground, he left step by step, leaving a line of blood on the ground.

"Your Majesty." Chu Junxi couldn't help but speak.

Yuan Yongyan's body was slightly stunned, he didn't look back, and continued to walk forward, Chu Junxi watched him walk out of the main hall, walk down the steps, and enter the courtyard, and was about to follow, but was stopped by Chu Shize.
