As soon as Jiang Xia entered the Beijing Division, he killed more than 100 dragon detectives of the imperial family, and also made Zhang Yong's life and death unknown, and at the same time, he also disguised himself as Zhang Yong and entered the palace to see Zhu Houzhao.

This qiē has put a lot of pressure on Yang Tinghe, so Yang Tinghe, who has always pursued everything, would rather take the risk of implementing the plan in advance this time.

However, with the previous deployment of Tong Guò, Yang Tinghe had already controlled the forces inside and outside the entire Beijing Division. In addition, with the edict of succession in his hands, Zhu Houxi's ascension to the throne is justifiable, so the whole thing can basically be said to be nine out of ten.

Yang Ting and Qian Ning inserted a yak heart rot needle into Zhu Houzhao's chest. When the needle is inserted into the heart, it melts when it hits blood. At most, the man will die in an hour, and there will be no sign of being poisoned.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the courtiers, Yang Tinghe also asked Qian Ning to remove the brocade guards of the Qianqing Palace when he left, and in Yang Tinghe's opinion, Zhu Houzhao was already certain to die.

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, a brocade guard ran to report to Yang Tinghe, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were already waiting for the cabinet, waiting for Yang Tinghe to pass.

Yang Tinghe nodded and stretched out his hand to Qian Ning beside him.

Qian Ning immediately understood, took out the edict of succession written to him by Zhu Houzhao from his bosom and handed it to Yang Tinghe. After Yang Tinghe took the edict, he opened it and looked at it twice, and then walked in the direction of the cabinet.

At this moment, the night is dark, and the moonlight is hazy.

Jiang Xia, Xue Ruqin, and Haida walked into the harem from the secret passage prepared by the Queen Mother, and then sneaked into the past from the harem in the direction of the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace itself is the place where the emperor usually rests in the palace, and generally the emperor will summon the concubines to the Qianqing Palace to sleep in the Qianqing Palace, so the Qianqing Palace is not far from the harem.

As soon as Jiang Xia and the three of them came out of the harem, they ran directly to the Qianqing Palace.

When he arrived at the entrance of the palace of the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Xia secretly observed. To his surprise, the Jinyi guards guarding outside the Qianqing Palace seemed to have evacuated a lot, and only five or six of them were still guarding outside the palace gate, as if there was no difference between the Qianqing Palace on weekdays.

Seeing that the guards had evacuated, Jiang Xia was originally relieved in his heart, but as soon as he thought about it, he suddenly felt that his heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and it was extremely cold.

Jiang Xia sent someone to inform Yang Yiqing and Zhong Bin to meet, and as a result, both of them were summoned to the palace. When Jiang Xia heard the news, he had a very bad premonition in his heart, he felt that Yang Tinghe might have to attack Zhu Houzhao in advance, otherwise Yang Tinghe would not summon both of them into the palace at once, unless he already knew that these two people were his allies and wanted to eradicate them in advance.

Obviously, he knew that Zhong Bin was his ally, and it was still possible. But Yang Yiqing didn't have much contact with him, so it was impossible for Yang Tinghe to know.

And now that it has arrived at the palace, the Qianqing Palace, which was originally heavily guarded, is now almost evacuated by the guards. What this means, Jiang Xia's head only needs to turn a corner to think of.

Jiang Xia glanced at Xue Ruqin and Hai Dayou, and the two quickly understood what Jiang Xia meant.

The two of them shot at the same time, and in the dark night, like two phantoms, they quietly attacked the guards outside the Qianqing Palace.

The guards didn't even make a sound, and fell to the ground and died.

Jiang Xia saw that Hai Dayou and Xue Ruqin had already eliminated those people, so he immediately appeared and walked into the Qianqing Palace.

When he arrived at the dormitory, although Jiang Xia had already been mentally prepared, Jiang Xia couldn't help but feel like a knife when he saw the appearance of Zhu Houzhao in front of him.

Zhu Houzhao had obviously reached the last moment, and his trembling body was much smaller than the arc of trembling.

Jiang Xia hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped Zhu Houzhao, and without saying a word, he carried him out of the Qianqing Palace.

Hai Dayou and Xue Ruqin also didn't say a word, and the two of them protected Jiang Xia one after the other.

The four of them cautiously walked to the harem, and then entered the secret passage.

Hai Dayou and Xue Ruqin each led the way in front with a torch, while Jiang Xia carried Zhu Houzhao on his back. He felt that Zhu Houzhao's body was getting colder and colder, so Jiang Xia comforted Zhu Houzhao with some nervousness: "Don't worry, second brother, I will immediately find the King of Hundred Herbs to heal you after I go out." You'll be fine, you'll be fine."

But no matter what Jiang Xia said, Zhu Houzhao didn't respond to a word. If it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's body still trembling slightly, I'm afraid Jiang Xia would also mistake him for really dead.

What Jiang Xia said at this moment was as if he was comforting himself.

Halfway through the secret passage, Jiang Xia's tears flowed silently. Reason told him that Zhu Houzhao could not be saved. But emotionally, he was very reluctant to worship this person who had just crossed over to Daming.

Suddenly, Jiang Xia felt that the placket on his chest was grabbed by Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao seemed to suddenly wake up.

A hoarse and faint voice sounded: "Is it big brother?"

"It's me, it's my second child, you hold on, you must hold on!" Jiang Xia was excited, he shouted loudly: "Senior Hai, Qin'er! Let's hurry up!"

Hai Dayou glanced back at Jiang Xia, and his heart was also moved.

If it was said that at the beginning, he listened to Jiang Xia's words only because of the male and female golden silkworms in his body, just to survive. After so many years, he already sincerely felt that Jiang Xia was worthy of his followers and worthy of his service.

The reason is simple. Because the word "brother" is definitely not a weak and simple title for Jiang Xia. It's a friendship that entrusts one's life.

Haida has a slight light footwork under his feet, and the degree is suddenly accelerated.

Xue Ruqin also turned her head to look at Jiang Xia, and then sped up.

On weekdays, Jiang Xia, who is full of flowers, always has a variety of names for her, including "Aunt Xue", "Ruqin Girl", "Ruqin Beauty", "Ruqin Auntie" and so on

But every time Jiang Xia called "Qin'er", Xue Ruqin's heart would always tremble slightly. It was a strange feeling, and she didn't know what it meant.

Hai Dayou and Xue Ruqin both sped up, and Jiang Xia's feet also ran eight steps to catch silkworms.

Zhu Houzhao's head was lying on Jiang Xia's left shoulder, and he said some words in a slurred voice. That low voice seemed to stop abruptly at the next word at any time, if it weren't for Jiang Xia's strong hearing, I am afraid that I would not be able to hear what Zhu Houzhao said.

"Big brother, I'm sorry. You killed Liu Jin, in fact, I wasn't angry with you. I also know that Liu Jin deserves to die, but Liu Jin has already been on the same page with the courtiers because he is in charge of Dongchang, and it is impossible to be accepted again. So with him for one day, the civil and military officials will be afraid of one day"

Hear here. Jiang Xia's heart suddenly froze slightly. Some things he had been unable to figure out, but now he finally figured it out.

Many of the things Liu Jin did were basically on the surface, but Zhu Houzhao tolerated him again and again and did not do anything to him. This is why, Jiang Xia understood before. There is also the fact that Liu Jin obviously joined Wan Huang, and Yang Tinghe was also Wan Huang's person before, why did Yang Tinghe never think of pulling Liu Jin into his camp?

But now that he heard Zhu Houzhao say this, Jiang Xia found an explanation for these two questions.

Liu Jin is different from Zhang Yong, and the contradictions between Liu Jin and the Chinese military officials of the DPRK have long been irreconcilable. If Yang Tinghe co-opted Liu Jin, I am afraid that other people in his faction would be dissatisfied, so it was impossible for Yang Tinghe to win over Liu Jin.

And Zhu Houzhao tolerated Liu Jin for this reason.

Liu Jin has killed too many civil and military ministers, and he has caused I don't know how many grievances. As long as Liu Jin is there, the courtiers will definitely get rid of Liu Jin first if they want to do anything to Zhu Houzhao.

Therefore, Liu Jin is not only a sharp sword hanging by Zhu Houzhao above the heads of hundreds of civil and military officials, but also a shield for him.

Maybe Liu Jin has begun to be uncontrollable, but before no one can replace Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao will still choose to tolerate him.

Maybe Zhu Houzhao is already beginning to cultivate people to replace Liu Jin, such as Qian Ning, such as Zhang Yong.

It's a pity that these two people, Zhu Houzhao, have not been cultivated yet, but they have been bought by Yang Tinghe first, so there will be Zhu Houzhao's fate later.

Just imagine, if Liu Jin is still there. Then Yang Tinghe did not completely control the guard force around Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao would not have fallen to this.

According to this inference, a thought suddenly rose in Jiang Xia's mind—I caused the second child to fall to such a point?

As soon as this thought arose, the madness began to grow. And the guilt in Jiang Xia's heart also began to amplify infinitely at this moment.

Finally, the exit of the secret passage is almost here.

But Jiang Xia felt that there was liquid flowing into the collar of his clothes.

Out of the secret road, Jiang Xia put down Zhu Houzhao, and Xue Ruqin and Hai Dayou came over with torches. Jiang Xia just now, Zhu Houzhao had already begun to bleed through seven holes.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be in a state of returning to the light, he looked at the sky blankly, and muttered: "Father, you came to pick me up?"

"Big brother, I'm leaving. Big brother, I hope that I will no longer be the emperor in the next life, and let me really be your brother once, okay?"

After saying the last word, Zhu Houzhao finally swallowed his last breath, and his eyes were closed.

The last bit of residual temperature in his body was dissipating, and all the life-related characteristics of Qi Qi were slowly disappearing from Zhu Houzhao's body.

Jiang Xia bit his lower lip and sat on the ground weakly. He hugged Zhu Houzhao's body tightly in his arms, silently shedding tears.

At this moment, it was as if the heavens and the earth had lost their voice. At this moment, it seems that the sound of the night wind is crying. At this moment, it was as if the air was filled with a smell called sadness.

And at this moment, in the cabinet. Yang Tinghe was also sad and said to everyone: "Colleagues, the emperor died before a stick of incense. ”
