Zheng Quqi didn't believe a word: "I just checked that you were unharmed, but you were stained with blood, did Empress Ye send you to hunt down and kill His Royal Highness?" Where exactly is he now? ”

In the last sentence, she asked with a particularly hard question, like a scaly blade scraping into their skin.

"I, we don't, he's in the Yixiu Temple, please, hurry up and save people!"

The state of these forbidden army guards was obviously not quite right, but Zheng Quqi did not speculate and doubt much, only when they were caught by themselves and panicked, they would be so incoherent.

"Of course I'm going to save someone!"

Zheng Quqi thought that Yuan Xingzhou was in a pitiful and helpless situation right now, and was wantonly bullied by Ye Hou and other rebel parties, so he didn't want to waste a moment on the inquiry.

She summoned someone to lead the way, and galloped all the way down the long red walled path, the wind-cold torches, flickering and flickering, and the delicate buildings of the silent night streaked a hazy streamer, and then fleeting, regaining its silver in the white moonlight.

The road was opened by the Xuanjia army, and the momentum of the unstoppable went all the way to the Yixiu Palace, and the stars and trees around the palace were completely different from the dull and gray tones of the surroundings.

And Zheng Quqi rushed to the Yixiu Hall all the way worried, but what she saw was not the chaotic fight scene she imagined.

Bang –

The heavy red gate was knocked open, the green trees were shady, the yellow walls and green tiles, the guards with knives in front of the palace held torches like a fire dragon standing under the eaves of the corridor, and the light spilled out of the Yixiu Hall was bright and abundant, and at a glance, you could see that on the stone steps of the treadway, the ministers wearing heavy court clothes knelt down in front of the hall one by one......

When the sudden invasion of the army flooded into the Yixiu Palace, the guards with knives guarding the Yixiu Hall were immediately alarmed, and they looked over in amazement and vigilance, and their tense bodies were already on alert.

"Who dares to break into the Yixiu Temple at night?"

Zheng Quqi was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

At this time, she heard a terrible wail from the Yixiu Palace, a long voice dragging the cry of blood and changing the tone, which made people's scalps tingle, and if she looked closely, she could also see blood slowly flowing down from the ravine of the cloud dragon stepping stone cast by white marble.

"Spare our lives, spare our lives, we know that we are wrong, we confess our sins, we know that we are wrong, we confess our sins......"

At this time, the courtiers, who were completely frightened, kept kneeling on the cold stone steps of the treadway, kowtowing vigorously and begging for mercy, and the pious and repentant appearance even ignored the bleeding of their heads.

She frowned, and felt more and more that the situation was very strange.

What is happening in the Yixiu Palace, why are there a group of courtiers who are frightened and kneel outside and kowtow and beg for mercy?

What about Yuan Xingzhou?

What about them?

Just as the guards were about to drive Zheng Quqi away from the trespassers in the palace, Wang Feichen suddenly saw Zheng Quchi's face clearly, his face changed in an instant, and he strode over and drank: "Stop!" ”

The guard with the knife froze for a moment, looked at Wang Feichen puzzled, and there was really no other attack for a while.

And Zheng Quqi also noticed him at this time.

"Wang Feichen?"

Didn't he enter the palace with Yuan Xingzhou? Right now, he was standing here unharmed, and that Yuan Xingzhou ......

"Wang Feichen has seen the general's wife."

Wang Feichen tried his best to make his expression natural and calm, and he stopped in front of Zheng Quqi, intentionally or unintentionally blocking her from stepping into the Yixiu Palace.

Pang Min, who had just patrolled in the rear, heard the report, and also rushed to the knife with a knife, and when he saw that the person who came was Zheng Quqi, his pupils were suffocated, why did she come?

He subconsciously glanced at the Yixiu Palace, his thoughts flowed several times, and he also stepped forward with Wang Feichen to salute: "Pang Min of the Imperial Forest Army has seen the general's wife. ”

These people all followed Yuan Xingzhou, and she had seen them all in the Golden Heron Hunting Ground where the Six Kingdoms were trying out the troops before.

Zheng Quqi's deep and perceptive gaze stayed on them for a second, and then calmly turned to the Yixiu Palace: "His Royal Highness the Prince is inside?" ”

In the past, they only thought that Zheng Quqi had a kind and easy personality to get along with, but they never knew that once she revealed her majestic side, it would be so stressful.

The two lowered their heads, glanced at each other, and after secretly exchanging glances, Wang Feichen replied loudly: "...... Be. ”

"Ye Hou is also in there?"

Zheng Quchi's voice was soft, which seemed so out of place in an environment covered with a layer of murderous aura, but at the same time, it was also like the sky at this time, overcast like a piece of iron, as if it would sink down in an instant.

This time, Wang Feichen didn't answer, but Pang Min took the lead and said: "Yes." ”

"Who are you?"

Wang Feichen's expression was a little unnatural: "General's wife, I hope you don't interfere with what happened in the Yixiu Hall tonight, and ...... tomorrow."

None of them expected that she would break into the palace with her own troops, and now the palace is in a state of disorder and chaos, and the guards on all sides did not report the matter at the first time, which makes them seem so passive now.

But at the same time, this matter also made them have to re-examine the military power in the hands of the general's wife in front of them, which is harmful to His Royal Highness and Ye Guo.

Zheng Quqi directly interrupted him: "Why should I believe you? I want to see Yuan Xingzhou. ”

She took a step forward with a resolute attitude, but was quickly blocked by Pang Min with an outstretched arm.

He lowered his face and said: "No summons, breaking into the palace without permission is regarded as rebellion, and please ask the general's wife to be cautious and immediately withdraw troops from the palace." ”

Wang Feichen's eyes widened, he grabbed Pang Min and exerted force, and warned in a low voice: "Huge man, this is the general's wife, you speak politely!" ”

He knew what His Highness's attitude towards the General's wife was, although they were ordered to guard outside the Yixiu Hall and stop everything that disturbed His Royal Highness's progress, but they couldn't offend anyone.

Zheng Quqi was about to speak, but he heard a screaming scream from the Yixiu Hall again, like torture, and at the same time, someone trembled and shouted: "Yuan Xingzhou, your father Wang Gangxu, you are here to make a big killing, so mad-"

Zheng Quqi's eardrum was shocked, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he no longer hesitated to wave Pang Min away: "Get out of the way-"

Wang Feichen was so anxious that he scratched his ears: "Madam, don't go, it's too messy inside, you ......"

"Shut up!"

She turned her face, and the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army strode forward, and opened the two of them with a sword: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way of Madame immediately!" Otherwise, don't blame Ben for being ruthless. ”

At the same time, a team of Xuanjia troops also surrounded and stepped forward, and the iron-blooded evil qi brought back from the battlefield on their bodies was not something that ordinary people could bear, even Pang Min and Wang Feichen had a feeling of being forced to breathe.

Zheng Quqi saw that Wang Feichen and Pang Min were subordinated, and the Xuanjia Army escorted her all the way, so she walked unimpeded to the treadway.

The kneeling ministers here couldn't help but look up at her, they couldn't kneel for a long time, people had already lost their spirits, and they were able to survive until now all by a desire to survive.

They didn't know if the General's wife was a lifesaver for them, but they hoped she would.

Silently moving her tired and heavy body, she was allowed to pass through and walk towards the place where the torture was being brutalized.

Even if Zheng Quqi had already done a certain amount of psychological construction in her heart, when she really stepped into the Yixiu Palace, she couldn't help but be shocked by the bloody pictures inside.

"I, we don't, he's in the Yixiu Temple, please, hurry up and save people!"

It turned out that what they said about saving people was not what she understood at all.

High in the dragon chair sat a languid figure, leaning back in the chair, his expression relaxed but imposing, his eyes hot and morbidly happy staring downward.

On his left and right stood two figures that she was very familiar with, it was Wang Zebang and Wei Yao, who had been summoned to the palace earlier.

The hall is divided into left and right by the central axis, on the left is dozens of civil and military ministers who are kneeling on the ground by the guards, and on the right is Ye Hou and a group of people who are tied up, among which Yuan Chuhua is also there, she is holding a small sobbing little boy and shivering.

At the end, her gaze slowly moved to the center, where there were all kinds of horrific torture instruments, some she knew and some she didn't, and in the middle there was a bookcase with a stack of confessions with bloody handprints on them......

Each of these confessions represented a criminal who had been tortured to death, and she saw many corpses lying on the ground, including officials in court clothes, nobles in regular clothes, and court guards and palace people.

The blood on the ground flowed from them to her feet, and then slid down the stone steps.

When he realized that someone had trespassed into the Yixiu Hall without permission, Yuan Xingzhou raised his eyes lightly, and the killing intent in his lazy and cold eyes had already manifested, but when he saw who it was, he almost sat up straight.

His sharp Adam's apple rolled: "...... Ruler? ”

And Wang Zebang and Wei Yao were originally standing expressionless in the arena like two wooden stakes, and the moment they saw their wife appear, they also changed their faces suddenly, and they were caught off guard.

Zheng Quqi thought that she had originally entered the palace to rescue, but the person she wanted to save now seemed to not need her help at all, but others were desperately begging for mercy and help in his applause.

She barely tugged at the corners of her mouth: "What are you guys...... On trial? ”

The sleepless sleep in the middle of the night made people panic and blocked all external news, he was really interested.

The original noisy and chaotic sounds of the Yixiu Hall seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Ye Hou's original frenzied struggle also stopped, when she saw Zheng Quqi, a desperate hope emerged in her heart, she shouted loudly: "Zheng Quqi, save the palace and the ministers, Yuan Xingzhou is crazy, he set up a lynching hall to force us to confess and ambush, he is clearly announcing personal vendetta by doing this, he wants to kill the first queen and her mother's people, and kill all the bloodlines of the Yuan clan that threaten him!" ”

Empress Ye has lived in the palace for so long, naturally she knows how to read the dishes best, and she can see a person's nature the most, the first time she saw Zheng Quqi, she knew that she was different from her, and all the women in the palace.

The clarity and calmness of her eyes come from the purity and cleanliness of her heart, and she always has a benevolent and trusting side of human nature in her heart, and she is also a kind person to others, such a person is stupid and easy to deceive from the perspective of cunning and despicable people, because she must not be used to seeing others commit murder.

Zheng Quqi: "......" Is he so murderous?

"How did you come to the palace at this hour?"

There was a fire in Yuan Xingzhou's heart that was getting stronger and stronger, and he blocked all the news, because he didn't want her to get involved in this matter, and he didn't want her to see the current scene, but who would have thought that what he didn't want to happen the most was just happening.

He stepped into the hall in a few steps, wanting to approach Zheng Quqi, but was stopped by her: "Don't come!" ”

He froze.

Zheng Quqi couldn't tell what kind of feeling she felt in her heart now, she stroked her forehead and said weakly: "Do you want to kill all the people in this hall?" ”

"It's not."

Zheng Quqi was stunned for a moment and looked into his eyes.

But I heard him say with a wicked smile: "There are also those kneeling outside." ”

At this time, Yuan Xingzhou was already aroused by her attitude of resistance, he was not a good-natured person, he had always just put on a fake skin and pretended to be in front of her, he himself did not think deeply about making this gesture, but subconsciously wanted her to be close to him, not to let her fear and avoid him.

He worked hard and painstakingly, and finally made her trust in him and willing to get along with him, but everything is ...... It's all ruined.

He saw the familiar and hateful coldness in her eyes again, and she was thinking about how to escape and stay away from him again.

Zheng Quqi: "...... Why? ”

"Why? At present, the people in the Yixiu Hall are either secretly colluding with Empress Ye to murder the first king, or some rebel ministers who have defected to the enemy and treason, as well as these dirty Yuan bloodlines, do you think the palace should not get rid of these rotten moths that hinder the revival of the Ye Kingdom? ”

Seeing that he could still come up with a legitimate reason to kill, Zheng Quqi also understood the reason why these people were gathered here.

But the way he deals with the problem must be so extreme? If everything chooses to kill and kill, no matter how big or small, if it is not strictly verified and then reviewed layer by layer, and a warning is announced to the public, then what do you need national laws and regulations to do?

As the future monarch of Ye Kingdom, she really doesn't want him to use violent means to solve problems in everything, people will eventually be manipulated by desire because they continue to indulge their desires, and they can't extricate themselves, and the same is true for indulging in the killing of their hearts.

"You promised me, I thought we had reached a consensus, you can avenge your mother, but you can't do anything that harms the foundation of the Ye Kingdom, you killed so many courtiers and the children of the Yuan family for a while, it will inevitably cause internal turmoil in the court, and the whole country will be shocked and panicked, do you want to make the already crumbling situation of the Ye Kingdom even worse?" She patiently persuaded her.

"They all have to die." Yuan Xingzhou didn't intend to accept her persuasion, his world has never been merciful and gray in the middle, why not wash the court in exchange for a new one who is under his full control?

"If you want the country of Ye to prosper forever, this palace will achieve your wishes for you, but you don't have to worry about the life and death of these people."

Zheng Quqi was also a little angry at this time: "They are guilty, and they have their own laws and regulations to judge, I will not shield them, I only need to transfer people to the Criminal Department and the three committees for trial and conviction, and they will be punished for whatever crime they should have, so that it is reasonable and reasonable to comply with the law." ”

She didn't believe that all the courtiers gathered here deserved to die, so why was Liu Guogong among them? (End of chapter)
