Chapter 005: The Cold Palace Gives Death
He loves her, but he loves his country more than her.
In order to consolidate the Great Chu River and prosper for generations, he could only sacrifice her temporarily.
He knew that she must be full of resentment at the moment, and she wanted to kill him and kill all the people who harmed the Long family.
However, he believes that time will change everything.
As long as she signs the edict, then everything is over.
He will return all the glory and wealth that belonged to her and take care of her with his life, waiting for her forgiveness.
However, Xiao Rui didn't notice that when Xiao Qi was pulled out of the hall, Liu Thrush's eyes collided with one of the guards. The guard received the order and walked out after him.
Liu Thrush snorted coldly in his heart: Xiao Rui, I know that you are reluctant to kill her, and you don't want to do it, then, let me come.
The black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the rolling black clouds carried lightning and thunder. After a buzz, the bean-sized raindrops dripped down and instantly turned into a curtain of rain.
Xiao Qi walked in the rain, his steps heavy.
Heaven wept for her and the Long family.
The Long family is really wronged, and she is also wronged.
Today, if it weren't for Liu Thrush to let Ping'er say something at her place, she wouldn't know that the Long family had reached such a predicament.
Ping'er deliberately let her know the current situation of the Long family, and also wanted her to break out of the cold palace and make today's farce.
But if it weren't for them, Xiao Qi would still be kept in the dark, still happily waiting for her father and brother to intercede for her and let her out of the cold palace.
She's so stupid.
Walking between the high palace walls, all the smoke stirred up by the rain around is shrouded, and it is nothing.
It's as if everything that happened to her now was like a nightmare, but she couldn't wake up.
Xiao Rui is the husband she chooses by herself, and once, her father and brothers persuaded her to think carefully and not to be carried away by momentary feelings.
At that time, she identified Xiao Rui and thought that she had found someone she could trust in this life.
Xiao Rui was excluded by other brothers, so she tried every means to help him plan, and did not hesitate to hand over the tiger talisman of the army to him, so that he could get his father's military power.
Xiao Rui was not loved by the emperor, and Xiao Qi often went in and out of the palace to please the emperor.
She's just so stupid.
Xiao Rui just chose her as a stepping stone on the way to the throne, in Xiao Rui's heart, she is not a person at all, but half of the rivers and mountains of Dachu.
Half of the military power, tens of thousands of horses, plus his own civilian supporters.
With these, he will be the prince with the highest voice, and he is the crown prince.
After marrying her, the countless exploits of the Long family are equivalent to sealing on his body, and everything is in his pocket.
It's a good deal.
When he sits firmly on the throne, the most powerful Long family is no longer his friend, but an enemy.
The Long family controls half of the military power, and has long been criticized by others for a long time, seeing that Xiao Rui has the intention of getting rid of the future, he will definitely collect evidence of the Long family's crimes one-sidedly, and finally bring down the Long family.
Nothing more than that.
Xiao Rui first ascended the throne and gave his father the titles of the founding general and the king of the mountain, presumably, he had already moved to kill at that time, just to make the ministers hold grudges, so as to uproot it.
Xiao Rui is the best at using people's hearts.
People's hearts are ugly, and he used ugly selfishness and hypocrisy to achieve the tragic ending of today's Long family.
As for their old love......
Xiao Qi looked up and watched the pouring rain pour out of the tumbling dark clouds.
Hehe, where did he and her get some old love.
In the first year of entering the palace, she was sent to the cold palace, and after three years of cold and hot meals, she only woke up now.
No wonder her father was worried when he sent her to the palace, presumably, his old man was already worried about her future.
"What do you see, why don't you hurry up! You thought you were the dragon concubine? Such a heavy rain, we will all suffer with you!"
A guard couldn't bear to be beaten by such a heavy rain, and couldn't help but reprimand.
But as soon as he said this, he regretted it a little.
Concubine Long is not an ordinary character, she is a master of the seventh grade, if she wants, she can take his life at any time. In front of the saint, she dared to be so presumptuous, how could she put him in her eyes.
Xiao Qi looked at him with coldness and sharpness in his eyes.
Gazing at her like this, the guard flinched.
Xiao Qi slowly withdrew his gaze.
She took a difficult step.
The imperial palace is no longer the imperial palace it once was, and the Great Chu is no longer the Great Chu it once was.
From now on, there is no place for the Long family, and she can't continue to be willful.
The guards and eunuchs all acted according to people's eyes, so what was the use of her fighting for this tone.
"What is this?"
As soon as he entered the cold palace, one of the guards immediately served a bowl of hot soup.
"This is a reward from the Holy Heavens, worried that you will be sick from the rain, so I specially asked Weichen to prepare this bowl of brown sugar ginger soup. ”
Xiao Qi looked at the soup in his basket, the red soup base, like blood.
"I just returned to the cold palace on the front foot, and on the back foot, the brown sugar ginger soup is ready?" Xiao Qi looked at the guard: "Is it the speed of the small kitchen, or is your foot fast." ”
Brown sugar ginger soup is soup, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible not to spill it at all, the only possibility is that it has been prepared in advance, just waiting for her to return to the cold palace to drink.
"Is he so eager......
She did not sign the plea of guilt, so she was directly given to death, and she was charged with suicide in fear of crime.
Xiao Qi's whole person was like falling into an ice cellar.
"Master Dragon, you can use it quickly. The guard sneered and said, "The Long family is finished, fortunately, the county lord still looks down on the little general, you and General Long have taken the responsibility, and you can protect the Long family, how cost-effective it is." ”
Xiao Qi looked at the guard: "You are quite transparent." ”
"Wechen has been walking in the palace for many years, and he can see it more or less. The surname of the Long family has committed the royal name, and it can be kept unchanged for many years, and it is precisely because of humility and courtesy and respect that the emperors of previous dynasties ignored this matter. However, when it came to General Long, everything was different. ”
He lowered his head, but there was no respect in his tone: "Forget about Old General Long, General Long is just a little general, and he relies on Zuyin to constantly challenge the royal bottom line, and if he refuses the Lord of the Bird Clan, he will destroy the alliance between Da Chu and the Bird Clan, which is a state affair." really got a beam, and it can't be repaired for decades, and he stabbed such a big Lou Zi to the Shengshang, does the Dragon Master think that the Shengshang will easily forgive?"
Xiao Qi smiled miserably and nodded.
"You are right, no matter how many feats a family has made, no matter how much blood has been shed for the country, as long as a mistake is made and the holy will is not followed, then everything before will not be counted. ”
