In the first year of Hengshun, the thirteenth day of the first month.

The snow fell all night, the north wind was cold, and the red walls and green tiles were even more solemn under the vast cover.

Yihe Palace.

The earth dragon was burning with a surging flame, Yuan Chuyao leaned on the couch, holding a letterhead tightly in his hand, his pale cheeks were not half bloody, even if he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he couldn't hide the haggard and remorse between his eyebrows.

"Niangniang, if you don't drink medicine, this body can't stand it. Wanqing frowned and comforted the medicine bowl that had cooled down, and her eyes were worried that could not be concealed.

Yuan Chuyao waved his hand, sighed and said to Wanqing: "Wanqing, go get Jifu." ”

Wanqing was surprised in her heart, and almost asked out loud, but finally suppressed the question.

Rao had a lot of doubts in her heart, but Wanqing still brought auspicious clothes according to Yuan Chuyao's intentions and carefully waited for her to dress them.

"Help the palace to get up, the palace is going to see the emperor. Yuan Chuyao closed her eyes slightly, stood up with Wanqing's hand, and the dagger in her wide sleeve brought a cold touch: "You don't have to follow, just wait in the palace." ”

This time she went to see Zhu Yixun, she knew that she would not come back, so she wore auspicious clothes, which can be regarded as leaving the last dignity for herself.

The candle flame in the Lama Palace was flickering, standing in front of the palace gate, Yuan Chuyao raised his head slightly to let the snow fall on his face, and the little eunuch who went to report hurriedly came back, bringing a sentence she expected: "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor is having dinner with Concubine Shu, I don't want to see you, Niangniang should please go back." ”

Yuan Chuyao glanced at him coldly, and was about to push him open the door, but the door of the hall suddenly opened, she looked up, but she didn't see Zhu Yixun's figure, what came out was today's Concubine Shu, and her sister - Yuan Chuxue.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're a lot haggard. Yuan Chuxue fiddled with the gilded armor intentionally or unintentionally, and a touch of extremely cold hatred flashed on her delicate and bright face.

Yuan Chuyao hooked his lips slightly, and let the heavy snow fall on his body: "The matter of the Yuan family, but your handiwork?"

"The matter of the Yuan family, hehe, I don't know which one my sister is talking about?" Yuan Chuxue chuckled.

Yuan Chuyao walked forward slowly, the wind and snow in the sky were even more noisy in the dark night, she held the letterhead in her hand, and said word by word: "The two hundred and seventy-six lives of the Yuan family were all beheaded at noon today, Yuan Chuxue, do you dare to say that you don't know?"

"Of course I know that no one was spared, except for my mother and brother. Yuan Chuxue replied lightly.

"Yuan Chuxue, you are so ruthless!" Yuan Chuyao clenched his fists and stood in front of Yuan Chuxue: "Flesh and blood, you actually did it!"

Yuan Chuxue stared at her, and only after a while did she say slowly: "Yuan Chuyao, the Yuan family has fallen to the point where it is now, you can't blame me, you have to blame yourself, it was you who forced your father to support the emperor with death, and now that the emperor's great cause has been inherited, it is natural to purge the party henchmen, the Yuan family colluded with Tubo to plot misdeeds, do you still want the emperor to open up the Internet?"

"Yuan Chuxue!" Yuan Chuyao gritted her teeth, eager to devour the life in front of her: "You are not afraid of dreaming back at midnight, the soul of the Yuan family will come to you to ask for your life!"

"Ask for your life, they will come if they want to come, I will wait, Yuan Chuyao, I might as well tell you, this matter is my handiwork, I asked my brother to put the evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason in my father's study, I asked people to give false testimony to identify my father, it was all me! But you forced me!" Yuan Chuxue's eyes widened, and her voice raised a little: " If it weren't for him saying that the concubine of the General's Mansion would never be me, if it weren't for me to keep my voice down in front of you, maybe I wouldn't be so ruthless, although my mother is a continuation, but in the end she is also a serious lady, why should I condescend to a girl who has died? Since I can't get what I want, then I'll destroy it! You don't feel good now, right, smoke the spices that I put poison all day long, I don't think you are much better. ”

"What did you say?" Yuan Chuyao frowned, only then did she understand why her body had become weaker and weaker since she entered the palace, and she was actually doing something from it.

Yuan Chuxue looked at her coldly, and only said after a while: "Do you still want me to repeat those words again?"

"For the position of a concubine, you actually hold a grudge to this day, and you actually do such a vicious thing, Yuan Chuxue, you are crazy!" Yuan Chuyao kept shaking her head, looking at her as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Xue'er, why haven't you come in after so long?"

At this moment, a deep voice came out of the hall, Yuan Chuyao raised his eyes, and saw Zhu Yixun wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and her handsome face was dyed with a layer of gloomy, and when she came back to her senses, she was already standing in front of her.

"Concubine Yi, why don't you rest in Yihe Palace so late, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yixun asked coldly.

Yuan Chuyao sneered, and her eyes fell on the man she had desperately loved: "The general's mansion has been beheaded all over the house, and the emperor always has to give me an explanation." ”

"Yuan Zhen collaborated with the enemy to rebel against the state, I just dealt with it according to the law, if you continue to make trouble, I don't mind sending you to see them. Zhu Yixin said.

"The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, the bird is hidden, Zhu Yixun, you are really a good skill! If you didn't have the help of the Yuan family, how would you have ascended to a high position? It's a pity that my Yuan family is full of loyal martyrs and made wedding dresses for others in vain!" Anger surged in his heart, Yuan Chuyao could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart, and cried blood every word: "If I knew that you were so ambitious, I would never force my father to support you with my life, but in the end, you colluded with Yuan Chuxue and became an adulterer, and harmed the Yuan family to such an extent!"

Zhu Yixun's face became more and more gloomy, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Yuan Chuyao in the face, "Slut! You are really a femme fatale, the Yuan family has reached such a situation, you are still insulting and framing your sister here! Xue'er is a hundred times more kind than you, how can you be wantonly insulted?"

A sneer appeared on Yuan Chuxue's lips, but she was quickly replaced by grievances, and sobbed softly: "Your Majesty, how can a concubine harm her mother's ......?"

Zhu Yixun turned around and took Yuan Chuxue into his arms, and said with tenderness overflowing in his eyes: "I naturally know that Xue'er is kind-hearted, as for this slut, it's just a dog jumping over the wall to slander you, Xue'er don't worry." ”

The sudden strength made Yuan Chuyao sit down on the snow, a trace of bewitching red oozed from her mouth, and she slowly got up with her arms propped up: "Slander? Hehe, Zhu Yixun, I must be blind to fall in love with you!"

Zhu Yixun looked at her coldly, there was no emotion on her face, but the killing intent in her eyes kept surging: "Yuan Chuyao, if you can keep to yourself, I will not kill you, and I will let you live well in the palace in the name of the concubine." ”

"Live well?" Yuan Chuyao smiled bitterly, tears already filled the air.

She was wrong, she was so wrong, she would treat Zhu Yixun as her beloved, and help him win the throne with all her family's efforts, she really regretted not being at the beginning!

Seeing her so embarrassed, Yuan Chuxue gently walked out from behind Zhu Yixun, pretending to pull her up, but laughed softly in her ear: "Yuan Chuyao, do you regret it? But these are all things you owe me, and now they can be regarded as repaid." ”

"You vicious woman!" Yuan Chuyao gritted her teeth and spoke, and the hand that had been hidden in her sleeve suddenly raised high.

"Ahh

Zhu Yixun's face turned cold, and when she was about to stop Yuan Chuyao, she suddenly found that the dagger in her hand had turned around and was aimed at his chest!
