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.

His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo and Chen Pingping are not ordinary monarchs and ministers, and the war between these two people is 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 naked and delicate heart with blood 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 everything in the world, what is I seeking, how do you 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 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.

"Your Majesty, no matter how strong you are, no matter how strong Qingguo is, you still can't change a fact, a fact that you are most unwilling to admit. Chen Pingping lowered her eyes slightly and said: "Qingguo is powerful. In the end, it still relied on her legacy, if it weren't for the fact that she left the inner library to continuously deliver the blood to the imperial court for survival. If it weren't for her leaving the Supervision Yuan to help Your Majesty control the balance of the court and the earth, and I would have fought in Daqing for many years, how would you have been able to let Qingguo support it until now?"

"You want to prove that without her. You can do the best you can, 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 the ground above your head, but actually. You've only proven 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 pursed extremely tightly, and he said indifferently: "History is written by the living after all, and I live." She died, and that was enough. ”

"So, Your Majesty, 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 in your heart, you only allow yourself to imagine her as such a character?" No, it's not just you, including Fan Jian. Including the waste of King Jing. I'm afraid, including Ann, all of you think I'm ruthless. But he recklessly relied on his own imagination to depict too much gold edge 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 us 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 the good imagination of the world on her, so she is extremely bright 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 the world, but has practical means to be a doer. The Emperor's eyes were cold and he continued: "What kind of person is this? a man who has no defects or flaws, 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 conspiracy, after all, what is the difference between her and me?"

"Your Majesty. 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 didn't know until today that she had left you to spy on me, an old black dog! If she hadn't suspected me back then, if she hadn't guarded against me, how could she have left such a sentence?"

"Wrong, Your Majesty. Chen Pingping said with a blank face: "No matter who sits on the dragon chair, my Supervision Yuan will supervise him, 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 did not 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 hint of coldness flashed in his empty eyes, and he said word by word: "Back then, she passed on my domineering skills, 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 take you with me and Ye Chong. With Wang Zhikun, he crisscrossed the battlefield. Sweeping the Sihe, it is rare to lose, but who would have expected that this so-called supreme exercise. But there is a supreme evil hidden behind it!"

The Emperor's voice became extremely cold after leaving his anger, "When I was on the first Northern Expedition, I noticed that the domineering true qi in my body was a little imminent. 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 I was ...... The meridians are broken!"

Chen Pingping was silent, he was one of the people who knew this history best, the Northern Expedition was difficult back then, and 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 life of one. However, the Great Wei was already decaying. If you want to change the general trend of the world, so as to create a new situation and future possibilities, it is inevitable that Nanqing will send troops.

Emperor Qing, who was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the time, led the troops to the north. However, Chen Pingping stayed in the original Supervision Yuan. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the safety of Kyoto, and on the other hand, it is also to keep a distance from the battlefield. Make sure to make decisions with a calm perspective. 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 look at things.

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 His Majesty the Emperor today. At that time, Chen Pingping had a doubt in her heart, what kind of strange injury did His 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, so he naturally knew where His Majesty's strange and terrifying injuries 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, and there are countless sharp knives in my body, which 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 ambition has always been strong, but at that time, I couldn't help but think of killing myself...... 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 all costs that day, maybe I would have died at that time." ”

Chen Pingping was silent, not sarcastic, and silent.

The emperor's nose was slightly **, and he took a deep breath indifferently: "However, the heavens have not abandoned me, after months of such pain, 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 everything in this world, and I 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 give up on myself?"

After listening to Emperor Qing's words, Chen Pingping laughed slightly. After sighing, he continued to show his slight smile to the end, shook his head and laughed dumbly: "Suspicious, suspicious...... Your Majesty, in your life, you probably have never been able to get rid of this. ”

Chen Pingping's laughter is very vicissitudes. Very sad, he looked at the emperor quietly and said: "Excuses are always just excuses, maybe Your Majesty you thought so 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. ”

"Heaven and earth heart method, she already has it in her hand. 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's ridiculous, of course you have to laugh. So Chen Pingping smiled, leaning back and closing in a black wheelchair, and the muddy tears were about to squeeze out of his old eyes.

"I just want you to know before you die, old dog. All you remember is 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 have to ask me for her." I want you to know. The hostess you loyally guard is not a spotless fairy. ”

Chen Pingping smiled. His shoulders sank slightly, and after a moment of silence, he 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. Accusing Her Majesty before, not for the sake of this common life, nor for any pity in her heart, but this is her last wish...... Yes, Your Majesty, we meet today not for the sake of the common people in the world, but just personal grievances. ”

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 it 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 the old comrade-in-arms in the 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 ridiculous emotion. 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. Today, the entire Supervision Yuan only knows that there is Chen Pingping, but it does not know that there is 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 answered 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 understands me, which is why he has gossiped with me for so long with my destined death. 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 by this time he had already shaken off his previous turmoil and the emotions brought about by the past, and returned to the appearance of a calm and powerful emperor.

Chen Pingping didn't answer, but just looked at His Majesty the Emperor meaningfully. Suddenly, he asked another question: "I have done so much in the past twenty years. Don't you understand, Your Majesty?"

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 wheelchair, which were recorded in Chen Pingping over the years. How to drive all the relatives around the emperor step by step into his opposite.

"The fire in the Rejuvenation Hall was set in the courtyard, and the imperial doctor was sent by the old slave to kill the land, and the same fate did for the country's relatives. 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 punish 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 with me was something that I watched coldly from the sidelines and helped me a little, but I tried everything I could to let Your Majesty know." ”

The Emperor turned his teacup and his fingers stopped.

"It was a thunderstorm that night. 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 by the old man. The wrinkles on Chen Pingping's face melted, and she looked extremely comforted, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry about the eldest princess having an affair with the crown prince? You're just holding it back all the time?"

"Who knew that the prince did it. Chen Pingping laughed in a low and shrill voice. "You can't do it, you can't do it. 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 under 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 coldness 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 Anzhi?" The emperor suddenly paused when he tapped his fingers on the celadon teacup, frowned and said with a slight mockery: "He is the son of me and the light eyebrows, you are so loyal to her, how can you want to kill him again and four times?" 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 sniper 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 existence 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 sharply with a hint of cold pleasure: "I died in the hands of Your Majesty, 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, his face turned pale from excitement or other emotions, he stared at the emperor word by word and said: "Your Majesty, you will betray your relatives and leave, in loneliness, looking at the land of the world." Still...... Nothing. ”

Look at the land under heaven, but there is nothing. What a vicious curse and hatred this is! The emperor's body shook slightly, 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 means that he already knows the complexity of Chen Pingping's 20 years, and finally gradually embarked on an irreversible road to success in the end. Both Fan Xian and the eldest prince have a very close relationship with Chen Pingping, and if Emperor Qing wants to explain anything to these two sons, he has to touch on the story of Chunchun many years ago. I can't open my 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, he felt infinite coldness and anger in his heart, he looked at Chen Pingping's equally pale face, and knew that the other party had calculated everything in the future, and he used his own death to send the last and darkest attack to this palace.

There was a dead silence in the study, and the autumn rain outside was still slowly falling. Wet the otherwise dry ground of the palace, and the cracks in the bluestone slabs. The imperial study is equipped with glass windows from the inner warehouse, and those carvings on the windows. It's like a human face, looking at the last conversation between Qingguo's pair of monarchs and ministers.

"You beg to die, but I don't want you to die easily. The emperor's face was pale, and his eyes were empty, like a god who suppressed his anger. Indifferently and calmly, he said, "I will escort you to the noon gate." I want you to be naked before all the peoples, and I want the whole world to know. Your old black dog is a eunuch without **, a freak who disgraces your ancestors...... I want the eyes of countless people to stare between your thighs, and see how you, a vicious thief, have used the mess of flesh between your legs to construct these vicious plots. ”

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 all this, but there is no way, 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 His Majesty the Emperor also had the genes of a madman in his blood, and he also knew what kind of tragic fate he would face under His Majesty's crazy anger.

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 place to put 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 His Majesty the Emperor's pale face again, thin and strong 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, 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.
