Chapter 1: Rainy Night, Thunder, Killer
In the middle of the night, only a loud "boom" in the sky was heard, and the lightning was fleeting, and the light made the silver mask more and more terrifying.
The man sat on the ground, the sword less than a minute from his throat that seemed to be about to pierce him, and he was so frightened that he retreated and swallowed the saliva in his mouth several times.
Rainy nights, broken temples, killers.
King Anping looked at everything unusual, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this was not a simple assassination.
"What do you want? As long as you don't kill me, I can give you anything! King Anping said as he swiped his sword. At this moment, this situation has made King Anping give up face, what is more important than being alive?
The silver mask enveloped her entire face, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were extremely frightening, blue and black.
And such a different pupil is an ominous omen.
"Hahaha......" A silver bell-like laugh came from under the mask, and he forced his tone to be sarcastic step by step: "I didn't expect that the high-ranking King Anping was also a greedy person who was afraid of death. ”
King Anping didn't seem to expect that the killer was a woman, but in a panic and fear, he felt that this voice was extremely familiar, but he couldn't think of who it was.
The Daye Dynasty has existed for hundreds of years, and now the emperor relies on the Tai Hospital to continue his life, no one knows which day the emperor will die, coupled with the early death of the son-in-law, the queen has not been established for many years, in this case, the battle for the throne has intensified.
And King Anping ranks third, in the eyes of the people, he is a good prince who is committed to the people, and he is the prince with the highest call to inherit the throne.
Don't let him think about it, the cold long sword cut through King Anping's flesh and skin, and blood flowed from the wound, King Anping knew that this time it would be impossible to escape death, but he was not reconciled.
Obviously, obviously he was about to sit in that position, how could he die like this? He approached the killer and asked
"Who ordered you to come? The Easy King? King of Chang'an? Or someone else? King Anping looked at the killer, and he desperately wanted to know the answer.
The corners of his lips under the mask hooked slightly, and he sneered, and said: "Although it is said that the dying do not deserve to know the answer, but don't worry, it won't be long before your brotherhood will be reunited." ”
With that, the long sword pierced King Anping's throat, and his eyes widened, as if he still couldn't believe that he was dead.
Retracting the long sword, the heavy rain outside the broken temple gradually stopped, and in the moonlight, she took off the mask, and the people in the moonlight had a stunning face like a porcelain doll.
"Your Highness." Xunyu suddenly appeared, presented a secret letter, and said, "Your Majesty is urgently summoned. ”
After taking the envelope and looking at it, she probably already knew what this urgent call was for.
The woman's voice was cold: "King Anping should be on the way back to Beijing at this time, but he just ran into us by accident." ”
In order to make the fire bigger, Xunyu added some secret powder around the broken temple.
The emperor of the dynasty had only one daughter, that is, the eldest princess Yun Fuyao, although she was a concubine and her mother died early, it did not affect the emperor's favor for her.
The capital is still prosperous, the carriage of the eldest princess and the carriage of King Anping drove into the palace together, and in the private room of the teahouse, the man's slender fingers lightly buckled the table one after another, and he didn't seem to understand why King Anping and the eldest princess entered Beijing together.
"Childe, do you want to report this to the general?" The man dressed as a servant asked softly.
The undercurrent of the struggle for the throne is surging, some people are standing in line, and naturally some people are afraid of taking sides. Standing right, it is natural that a person will ascend to heaven, and if he stands wrong, it will carry the possibility of extinction, so most people are watching and not showing their attitude.
Among these people, Mu Jingtang, who is known as the "first backbone of the capital", and Yun Feiyang, the young general, have attracted a lot of attention.
"Nature." Mu Jingtang sighed lightly and said, "I'm afraid that the wooden head of Yun Feiyang won't pay attention to this, and talking to him is also a life-saving move." ”
The little guy nodded hurriedly.
At the same time, in the imperial study, although the emperor was only forty years old, he was tossed a little white by the disease, and the sickness on his face was distressing.
"Apocalypse, how is this spring outing? Let's talk about my father, my father hasn't been out of the imperial city for many years. The emperor asked with kindness and nostalgia on his face.
Yun Fuyao smiled softly and replied: "Back to my father, during this spring outing, Erchen saw the great river like smoke and mist, saw the delicacies that were not in the imperial dining room, and saw the people living and working in peace and contentment...... Father, although the capital is the most prosperous city in the great cause, the son thinks that the scenery outside the capital is not inferior, and the father must go to see it in person. ”
Two watery eyes looked at the emperor, Yun Fuyao's face was full of hope, and it seemed that he really hoped that the emperor would go out to have a look.
The emperor smiled, and then coughed violently, and the big eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the potion, but the emperor waved his hand, and the big eunuch could only retreat to his original position, the emperor looked at Yun Fuyao, and gently softened Yun Fuyao's head, as if he saw another person through Yun Fuyao.
It was not the first time Yun Fuyao had seen such a pitying look, Yun Fuyao lowered her eyes, she naturally knew who the emperor was missing-her mother who died early.
After a while, the emperor said: "Apocalypse, you are not young now, in the early years, my father did not want you to get married, so I didn't ask your opinion and put your marriage on hold, now, my father's body is not as good as day by day, your marriage can not be delayed any longer, this year's champion Lang is the same age as you, and he is not married, why don't you go and see?" ”
As soon as the emperor said this, he saw Yun Fuyao kneeling in front of the emperor, with tears in his eyes: "Father, the sons and daughters are not in a hurry to get married, the top priority is the health of the father!" ”
The emperor touched Yun Fuyao's head lovingly, sighed, and asked, "Apocalypse, tell me, among these sons of the father, which one is worthy of the position of the father?" ”
Yun Fuyao lowered his head: "Erchen doesn't dare to say anything. ”
"It's okay, just say the apocalypse." The emperor smiled and said.
"Erchen thinks that no one can do it."
This answer seemed to surprise the emperor, and then he laughed, "What the apocalypse said is good, among them, no one can be up to the task, and it is precisely because of this that the father emperor wants to set a good family business for you, so that after the father is gone, you can live in peace." ”
This time, Yun Fuyao didn't refute again, because she knew that the emperor had made this determination, and if she objected again, she would only be locked up in the princess's mansion and not be able to go out.
The carriage in the palace sent Yun Fuyao all the way to Shuiting'an, and under the gaze of the great eunuch, Yun Fuyao could only walk into this garden.
