The study was quiet again. From the darkest moment before dawn, to the morning sun jumping out of the earth, to the warm morning light being covered by dark clouds, and the autumn rain falling like a flutter, in such a period of time, the sound in the imperial study, like the weather, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes violent, sometimes as quiet as an iceberg, the atmosphere here is even more so, a moment of tension and meanness, a moment of silence and blood, a moment of reminiscence of the past and a moment of confusion, a moment of talking about the old things and cold.

The emperors of Qingguo, His Majesty Xià and Chen Pingping, were not ordinary monarchs and ministers, and the war between the two was also too different from the ordinary war. Until this time, Chen Pingping was just words, maybe just the mind represented by words, holding straw and stabbing and piercing, hoping to prick the other party's ** and delicate heart into a bleeding spot and prick out a fresh wound.

An unhealthy paleness lingered under Emperor Qing's cheeks for a long time, refusing to disperse, his eyes were empty, no, it should be said that they were very hollow, and his slightly thin cheeks, with his look and eyes at this time, looked extremely indifferent.

No one knew what kind of turbulence Emperor Qing had in his heart at this time, he just looked at Chen Pingping quietly, and said slowly after being silent for a long time: "Why are you monitoring...... I?"

He said indifferently: "I have abandoned the world, what is I seeking, how do you ever know?"

This is a kind of disdain for the old black dog as an emperor. However, Chen Pingping's hands naturally rested on the armrests of the black sè wheelchair, looking at him lightly, and there was only indifference and disdain in her eyes. The two monarchs and ministers were cold to each other, and each other's disdain for each other, so permeated the entire imperial study.

"No matter how strong you are, no matter how strong Qingguo is, you still can't change a fact, a fact that you don't want to admit the most. Chen Pingping lowered her eyes slightly and said: "The strength of Qingguo ultimately depends on her legacy, if it weren't for the fact that she left the inner library to continuously send the blood to the imperial court for survival, if it wasn't for the fact that she left the Supervision Yuan to help Her Majesty control the balance of the court, I have been fighting in Daqing for many years, how can you let Qingguo support until now?"

"You want to prove that you can do the best you can without her, even better than when she was alive. Chen Pingping slowly raised her head and said in a hoarse voice: "You want to lift the sky that she covered your head, but in fact, you just proved that you have to rely on her." ”

"You're not as good as her. Chen Pingping spoke calmly and naturally, stabbing the deepest part of the emperor's heart.

The emperor suddenly thought of that thunderstorm night three years ago, in the Guangxin Palace not far behind, he once pinched Li Yunrui's throat with his own hands, and said to the most beautiful sister: "You can't compare to Ye Qingmei." ”

His heart moved slightly, his face turned slightly pale, his thin and ruthless lips were pursed very tightly, and he said indifferently: "History is written by the living after all, I am alive, she is dead, and this is enough." ”

"So, why do you have to explain anything, you just need to admit that you are cold-blooded, ruthless, hypocritical, and inferior......" A smile appeared on Chen Pingping's face, "That's enough." ”

"Is she really a fairy?she doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and is merciful?" the emperor suddenly said with a slight mockery: "Or do you only allow yourself to imagine her as such a character in your heart?" No, not only you, including Fan Jian, including King Jing's waste, I'm afraid also An Zhi, all of you think that I am ruthless, but you have recklessly relied on your own imagination to depict too much Phnom Penh on her body. ”

"She's not a person, she's not a fairy, and she's not a god who has come to save the world. The emperor sighed faintly, his brows gradually furrowed extremely tightly, and said slowly: "She is just you people, no, in the past, including me, she was just the imagination of our people, I often wonder, did this woman never appear at all, but just let our imagination converge and condense into such a person?"

Chen Pingping shook her head coldly: "You know this is not true. ”

"But it's still imagination!" The emperor's face turned cold, and the corners of his lips curled slightly at Chen Pingping and said: "You waste, you have invested all your beautiful imagination of the world on her, so she is extremely radiant in your hearts, and you can't even find a trace of darkness." ”

"Bing Xue is smart, but she has no scheming and compassion, but she is not a naïve woman who does not understand world affairs, but a doer who has practical means to do it. The Emperor's eyes were cold and he continued: "What kind of person is this? a person who has no flaws or loopholes, such a person...... Are you still human?"

He suddenly laughed, sad and angry: "It's a pity that there is no such person in the world. She is a mortal, an ordinary person with joy and anger, brilliance, darkness, scheming and scheming, after all, what is the difference between her and me?"

"陛xià. Chen Pingping shook her head slowly, "If she is really the kind of person you imagined, how could she die at your hands?"

"Really?" the Emperor's pupils shrank and he laughed weirdly, "Hahahaha...... Everyone has become their own king? What an arrogant idea, the Supervisory Yuan turned out to be the Inspectorate...... I still don't know that your old black dog was actually left by her to spy on me! If she didn't suspect me back then, if she didn't guard against me, how could she leave such a sentence?"

"Wrong, Your Majesty. Chen Pingping said with a smile: "No matter who sits on the dragon chair, my Supervision Yuan will supervise him, and this is not evidence that she was wary of you from the beginning and wanted to deal with you." ”

"What about that domineering skill!" For some reason, the emperor's tone suddenly became extremely dark and deep, although his voice was a little higher, but it didn't make people feel the slightest warmth, and his voice was like a sword that had been soaked in the water of the Nine Netherworlds for hundreds of millions of years, piercing straight around the imperial study.

The emperor's face was not distorted, but a trace of yīn cold flashed in his empty eyes, and he said word by word: "Back then, she passed on the skills of domineering, and I thought that she was thinking that there was a great master in each of the Northern Qi and Dongyi, so she made this decision, and I am very grateful...... With this domineering skill, I took you, Ye Chong, and Wang Zhikun to crisscross the battlefield, sweep the Sihe, and it was rare to lose, but who would have expected that this so-called supreme martial arts had a supreme evil heart hidden behind it!"

The emperor's voice became extremely cold after leaving the anger, "When I was on the first Northern Expedition, I noticed that the domineering true qi in my body was a little stupid and restless, but things must be done, I led the army to advance, and fought with the clear wind in the northern mountains, but at this time, the hidden danger broke out, and my body ...... The meridians are broken!"

Chen Pingping was silent, he was one of the people who knew this history best, the Northern Expedition was difficult, Master Zhan Qingfeng used his soldiers to the extreme, the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty were especially prosperous, and Nanqing ventured north with tens of thousands of troops, which was really a choice of nine deaths and a lifetime. However, the Great Wei is already decaying, and the people are not able to make a living, if you want to change the general trend of the world, so as to create a new situation and future possibilities, Nanqing's army is inevitable.

Emperor Qing, who was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the time, led the troops to the north, but Chen Pingping stayed in the original Supervision Yuan, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of Kyoto, and on the other hand, to keep a distance from the battlefield and ensure a calm vision of decision-making.

Originally, the enemy was strong and I was weak, just when the battle was the most intense, and Zhan Qingfeng led the army to surround the Qing army on the periphery of Kunshan Mountain, the commander of the Qing army, His Royal Highness the Prince, was suddenly seriously injured, and the meridians of the whole body were broken, and he was lying in the marching camp and couldn't move!

Although Ye Chong, who was the deputy general at the time, and Wang Zhikun, the junior officer of the pro-military camp, stood up at the most critical moment, but on the battlefield, Nanqing was already in a weak position, and the commander suddenly couldn't see things, and in an instant, the army of Zhan Qingfeng advanced, and the Nanqing army was torn apart, and the prince was also trapped in the mountains.

It was at that time that Chen Pingping led the black cavalry of the Supervision Institute to complete their first thousand-mile breakthrough that shocked the world, and tore a big hole in the net woven by the Great Wei army, risking endless risks to save the crown prince, who is now Emperor Qing.

Needless to say, the hardships along the way were almost wiped out before the Black Cavalry rescued the emperor of today's rì. At that time, Chen Pingping had a doubt in her heart, what kind of strange injury did Her Majesty suffer? There was no big wound on the outside, but the meridians inside were all broken and she became a wasted person.

Over the years, Chen Pingping had guessed something, and Fan Xian had also faced the danger of almost breaking his meridians once, so he naturally knew where the strange and terrifying injuries of His Majesty the Emperor came from.

Presumably, it is a dangerous threshold that will inevitably appear after the hegemonic skill is practiced to a certain level.

............ "I can't move, I can't see, I can't speak, if there are countless sharp knives in my body, they are constantly cutting my intestines, my flesh and bones. The emperor's eyes were empty, and he said indifferently: "That kind of pain, that kind of despair, that kind of loneliness, that kind of darkness, is not something you can imagine. My heart has always been strong, but at that time, I couldn't help but think of suicide...... But I couldn't even move a little finger, and I wanted to die...... I can't even die. ”

The corners of the Emperor's lips curled slightly, and he laughed self-deprecatingly, "What a sad and miserable end this is. He glanced at Chen Pingping lightly, "If you hadn't saved me at any cost, maybe I would have died at that time." ”

Chen Pingping was silent, not sarcastic, and silent.

The emperor's nose twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath indifferently: "However, the heavens have not abandoned me, and after months of such painful suffering, I finally woke up, and not only woke up, but I also finally broke through the threshold of domineering skills. ”

The Emperor's voice trembled slightly, decades had passed, and his strong heart still shook a little at the thought of the terrible threshold at which no human could bear its torment.

He lowered his head, looked at Chen Pingping with a slight mockery and said, "What does she want to do when she passes on this terrible skill to me?"

"I asked her how she could break through, and she said she didn't know. The emperor suddenly laughed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill came out of the cracks, "She doesn't know......! She doesn't know!"

"She wants to take me as a key point, and want me to listen to her and answer her for the rest of my life. The corners of the emperor's lips curled strangely, and he said mockingly: "But...... How can I be such a person, I have passed this threshold of life and death, and I have also looked down on the world, and finally understand that this glorious woman in your eyes actually has the most cruel part of her. Since the heavens do not abandon me, how can I be willing to give up on myself?"

............ After listening to Emperor Qing's words, Chen Pingping laughed slightly, sighed, and continued to show her slight smile to the end, shaking her head and laughing dumbly: "Suspicious, suspicious...... In your life, there is probably no way to get rid of this. ”

Chen Pingping's laughter was very vicissitudes and sadness, he looked at the emperor quietly and said: "Excuses are always just excuses, maybe your majesty thought like this back then, but Fan Xian has also practiced now, if it weren't for Begonia to help him, I'm afraid he would also fall into that hellish pass." ”

"Tianyi's mental method, she already has it in her hands. The Emperor slowly closed his eyes.

"But it is possible to stay in the realm of the nine grades forever. Chen Pingping sneered slightly: "Are you willing?"

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, he waved his hand lightly, sighed and said: "There is no need to mention the past things, since you can even doubt her, you can naturally doubt everyone in the world, but ...... This suspicion is too ridiculous. ”

Since it was ridiculous, of course she had to laugh, so Chen Pingping smiled, leaning back and closing in the black sè's wheelchair, and the muddy tears were about to be squeezed out of his old eyes.

............ "I just want you to know before you die, the old dog, that all you remember is just an illusory illusion." The emperor opened his eyes, got rid of his memories, looked at Chen Pingping coldly and said: "You are my dog, but you want to ask me for her, I want you to know that the heroine you are loyal to guarding is not a fairy who is immaculate." ”

Chen Pingping smiled, her shoulders sank slightly, and after a moment of silence, she responded: "The old slave is not a saint who takes the world as his own responsibility, and he is not qualified to be a saint. The previous accusation of His Majesty was not for the sake of this common people, nor did she have any pity for this common people in her heart, but this was her last wish...... Yes, Your Majesty, I met today, not for the sake of the world, but just a personal grudge. ”

He raised his head and looked at the emperor calmly: "If you kill her, I will avenge her." This is a personal vendetta, not some bullshit, it is just a very simple thing and does not need to carry any other meaning. I don't care what kind of person she is, whether she's a fairy or a little witch with a scheming inside, so what's the matter?"

"Her name is Ye Qingmei, and that's enough. Chen Pingping looked at the emperor and said slowly.

The emperor looked at his old comrade-in-arms in a wheelchair, and after a long time, he sighed softly, and a smile appeared on his face, but this smile represented a deeper meaning, in his eyes, the old black dog was dead.

"It's a very deformed and deformed feeling. The emperor said indifferently: "Supervising the king of a country, a eunuch is obsessed with a woman, it turns out that you have gone crazy many years ago. ”

"Of course, I must admit that I have been deceived by you for many years...... The Inspectorate is indeed a bit tricky in the hands of your old dog. When the entire Supervision Yuan arrived today, I only knew that there was Chen Pingping, but I didn't know that there was an emperor. This is my indulgence in you, but it is also your ability. It's just that I don't understand, why do you raise the sword of revenge against me, and what are you capable of?"

The emperor looked at Chen Pingping with a faint disdain, picked up the cup of cold tea that he hadn't drunk for a long time from his side, and slowly took a sip.

Chen Pingping also picked up the cup of tea that was still warm from the front of the wheelchair armrest, moistened her dry lips, and responded softly after a while: "Presumably Yan Bingyun is already purging the Supervision Institute for His Majesty at this time." ”

The emperor's eyes looked at the clear yellow tea in the teacup, condensed slightly, and then returned to nature.

"Since I returned to Beijing single, I naturally don't want the entire Qingguo to fall into turmoil because of the revenge of the old slave. Chen Pingping said: "So I won't pay attention to Yan Bingyun." ”

"Just to scold me a few words?" a rather elusive smile appeared on the Emperor's lips.

"Your Majesty knows me, that's why she has gossiped with me for so long, who is destined to die. Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Because you don't know what my last hand is, you have to accompany me until I finish what I want to say." ”

"At this point, I'm done talking, and I want to see what cards you have that haven't been opened. The Emperor smiled gently, and at this time he had already gotten rid of the previous turmoil and the feelings brought by the past, and returned to the calm and powerful appearance of the emperor.

Chen Pingping didn't answer, but just looked at the emperor meaningfully, and suddenly asked another question: "In the past twenty years, I have done so many things, don't you know your majesty now?"

The emperor's fingers slowly turned his head to the celadon teacup, but his eyes slowly fell to the ground, and there were several scrolls lying calmly on the ground at the foot of the black sè wheelchair, which recorded how Chen Pingping had driven all the relatives around the emperor step by step into his opposition over the years.

"The fire in the Hui Chūn Hall was set in the courtyard, and the imperial doctor was killed by the old slave, and the same fate did for the national relative. As for the medicine used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was prepared by Fei Jie himself, of course, Fei Jie has already left this continent now, and even if His Majesty wants to cure him for capital crimes, there must be no way. Chen Pingping looked at the emperor indifferently and ruthlessly, and said word by word, "The matter of the eldest princess and the crown prince fornicating is something that I am watching coldly from the sidelines and helping a little, but I try my best to let Your Majesty know." ”

The Emperor's fingers turning the teacup stopped.

"There was a thunderstorm that night, and His Majesty should have made a gaffe in Guangxin Palace, although the old slave did not see it with his own eyes, but as long as he thought of this, the old slave felt comforted. The wrinkles on Chen Pingping's face melted, and she looked extremely comforted, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry when the eldest princess has fornicated with the crown prince?

"Who knew that the prince did it. Chen Pingping laughed in a low voice, "What you can't do, what you can't do, what you can't do, but the prince did it, how can you not be angry? How can they not die?"

"The crown prince is dead, the eldest princess is dead, the queen is dead, the queen mother is dead, and the second child is also dead. Chen Pingping stared at the emperor with fierce eyes, "If all your relatives around you die at your hands, you are the most selfish and vicious monarch in the world, I will let your relatives die because of your selfishness." ”

The Emperor's fingers pinching the teacup trembled slightly, and the sound of the cup was gently struck, making a crisp and clear sound.

Chen Pingping's voice was more brittle, colder, and colder than this one: "The old slave doesn't have any hole cards, the old slave just wants to go back to the palace to tell you." You let her die alone so coldly, I can let you smell that loneliness too, and then die in this torment...... Maybe I can't kill you, but wouldn't it be the most wonderful complicated way to keep you alive like this?"

"I also have a few good sons. The emperor said slowly: "You even want to kill that kid of the third child, I ...... I have to marvel at the yīn cold and hatred in your heart. ”

Chen Pingping said indifferently: "As long as there is a person surnamed Li in this palace, they should die." ”

"What about An Zhi?" The emperor's fingers tapping on the celadon teacup suddenly paused, frowned and said with a slight mockery: "He is the son of me and Qingmei, you are so loyal to her, how can you want to kill him again and again?" I am afraid that An Zhi still thinks that you are the elder who loves him the most, but he did not expect at all, including the sniping in the valley, including the follow-up of the incident of the Hanging Temple, he almost died under the dagger, all of which were arranged by you. ”

After Chen Pingping was silent for a moment, she said in a deep tone that was extremely cold: "Fan Xian is just a mongrel...... What qualifications do you have to be the father of her son? Fan Xian's cunzài is a stigma of shame for her, and I feel dazzling when I look at him. ”

The emperor laughed, and his laughter was full of resentment: "Very good, you are really a perverted eunuch...... Wouldn't it be too good for you if I killed you like that?"

"How to die has never been a problem. Chen Pingping looked at the emperor mockingly and said, "I only know that my revenge has been successful, and this is enough." ”

The Emperor's hand holding the cup hovered in mid-air, and after a while, he said quietly, "I have three more sons......

"But since I have returned to Beijing, I am afraid that none of your three sons can be your sons anymore. Chen Pingping's pupils gradually shrank, and she laughed with a hint of cold pleasure: "I died in your hands, what will Fan Xian think of you? What will the boss think of you? How can you explain to Fan Xian? Could it be that I am trying to avenge her mother? Then how can you explain to him what happened back then?"

Chen Pingping's shrunken pupils were cold, and his face gradually turned pale because of excitement or other feelings, he stared at the emperor word by word and said: "Your Majesty, you will betray your relatives, in loneliness, looking at the land of this world, but ...... Nothing. ”

Looking at the land of the world, but there is nothing, what a vicious curse and hatred this is! The emperor's body shook slightly, and his face gradually turned pale, he looked at Chen Pingping with devouring majestic eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You dare!"

When the emperor said these two words, it meant that he already knew the complexity of Chen Pingping's twenty years, and finally gradually embarked on an irreversible road to success. Both Fan Xian and the eldest prince have a very close relationship with Chen Pingping, and if Emperor Qing wants to explain something to these two sons, he has to touch on the story of Chun many years ago, and he can't open his mouth at all.

Could this world's strongest monarch grow old and die as his sons watched him with anger and hatred?

Emperor Qing's face was pale, and he felt infinite coldness and anger in his heart, he looked at Chen Pingping's equally pale face, knowing that the other party had calculated the follow-up, and he was using his own death to send the last and darkest attack on this palace.

There was a dead silence in the study, and the autumn rain outside was still slowly falling, wetting the originally dry ground in the palace and the cracks in the bluestone slabs. The imperial study is equipped with glass windows produced in the inner library, and the carvings on the windows are like human faces, looking at the last dialogue between Qingguo, a pair of monarchs and ministers.

"You beg to die, but I don't want you to die easily. The emperor's face was pale, his eyes were empty, like a god who suppressed his anger, and said indifferently and calmly: "I want to escort you to the noon gate, I want to let you be naked before all the people, I want everyone in the world to know that your old black dog is a eunuch without **, and a deviant who disgraces the ancestors...... I want to keep the eyes of countless people on your thighs, and see how you, a resentful eunuch, have used the mess of flesh between your legs to weave these vicious schemes. ”

Emperor Qing's words were very light, but there was infinite resentment, endless humiliation, and endless anger, and he said indifferently: "I want to cut you with a thousand knives and die in a thousand years, I want the entire people of Qingguo to tear off the flesh on your body one by one, and then bury your skull next to the three major fangs, so that you can watch how I killed her first, then killed you, and then used what she left behind, killed the country, ruled the world, and achieved the foundation of immortality." ”

"I want you, let you know, I can kill you, I want you to watch this qiē, but there is no way at all, let you cry in the underworld, struggle, regret ......"

The emperor's face became paler and paler, but his voice became calmer and calmer, and his pupils became more and more empty, less and less like a living person.

Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a black wheelchair, was also very pale, he knew that the blood of the emperor was also a madman, and he also knew what kind of tragic fate he would face under the crazy anger of the emperor.

The two monarchs and ministers used each other's words to cut each other's hearts, cutting each other bloody, and there was no intact place on their bodies. It's like two pale ghosts, devouring each other's souls.

Chen Pingping slowly and with difficulty leaned over the teacup on the ground, then held the front end of the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, his elbows as the axis, and his two forearms rested calmly and comfortably on the black and smooth armrest, he didn't think about anything, just repeated the habitual movements that he had repeated countless times over the years.

His gaze swept over the pale face of His Majesty the Emperor again, his thin and powerful shoulders, looking directly at the wall behind the imperial study, as if he had seen through this wall, and directly saw the small building in the harem, and saw the portrait, the back of the woman in the yellow shirt on the portrait was extremely lonely, looking at the scene of the people of the river at the foot of the mountain, and was speechless for a long time.

Chen Pingping was speechless for a long time, he thought to himself in his heart, this is good, this is good.

"Little leaf?" a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips, as if he saw the appearance of the little girl in the air behind the imperial study.

The little girl looked at herself in distress and asked, "Are you really a eunuch?"

............ His Majesty the Emperor heard the three words spoken by Chen Pingping, Xiao Yezi...... This name has been hidden in his heart for many years, this name is like a curse, it has always made him unable to get rid of it, although he can not remember it for a long time, but once he finds that he has not forgotten jì, that face, that person will appear in the air, with a trace of doubt, a trace of sadness, a trace of disdain to look at himself.

He subconsciously followed Chen Pingping's gaze and turned his head slightly, and then he heard a loud noise.

The wind in the imperial study was fierce, and two violent air currents mixed with powerful gunpowder, iron sand, and steel balls slammed into Emperor Qing's body.
