14 Late at night
Seeing that he finally had a reaction, Deng Yan grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, "You come here, I'll tell you." The people in the palace didn't dare to say it, and all of them didn't dare to tell you, anyway, Lao Tzu was going to die, and Lao Tzu was not afraid. ”
Everyone panicked, and even Luo Huaiying, who had been waiting for her, changed her face. Most of these Jinyi guards are children of the family, and they have heard of the incident back then.
They all quietly raised their eyes to look at Xie Mingyi, and immediately lowered their heads as if they were thieves.
saw that Xie Mingyi just turned around slowly and hooked his finger behind him, "Let's go." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to follow in his footsteps.
Behind him, Deng Yan's loud cheers came.
"Do you know how Concubine Cui died, she was thrown into the dynamite barrel by the dog emperor and blown up directly!"
Deng Yan shook the fence frantically, her rough face distorted, "In her coffin, there is not even a complete piece of corpse!" ”
Xie Mingyi paused in his footsteps.
But he didn't hear it, and just smiled coldly.
"Lone remembers that the prison at the bottom of the edict has been in ashes for a long time, so send Lord Deng over so that he won't make noise to others." He said casually, as if he were ordering something even more common, "Also, gouge out his left eye and feed it to the dogs." ”
After that, someone immediately obeyed the order to go down and do things.
The people who accompanied him were all looking at their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to come out.
Wei Shuyao retracted her gaze tremblingly, her mind in chaos. She knew that the crown prince's biological mother was not favored, but she didn't know that she died like that.
She always thought that King Ning's rebellion was a heinous crime, but in Deng Yan's mouth, it seemed that the most heinous crime was the person in the dragon chair high above.
The chill on her body was revealed little by little, and she remembered what her father said, "A-Yao, when you hear the word prince, how far can you run." ”

As soon as Xie Mingyi entered the Qianyuan Palace, a piece of broken porcelain exploded at his feet.
"Please ask the emperor to spare his life!" The kneeling little palace maid pursed her mouth and tried her best to suppress her crying, begging bitterly.
The emperor kicked the little palace maid away, pulled out the long knife on the case, and was about to split it, but his arm was firmly clamped by his slender five fingers.
"Don't send her to the palace to clean up the eyes of the saint!" Xie Mingyi snorted coldly.
Chen Quan got a look, almost ran over, and stepped forward to drag the person away.
The rest of the palace people also hurriedly retreated, Xie Mingyi let go of his hand and knelt down slowly, "Father is angry, it's not worth being angry for a madman." ”
"Deng Yan is so foul spoken in the edict, why don't you cut off his tongue!" The emperor glared angrily, and the knife in his hand slashed down.
The blade brushed the hem of Xie Mingyi's clothes.
Xie Mingyi's expression did not change, "It's foul language, why bother listening to it, it's just polluting your ears." ”
"He is a dying man, he can say any nonsense, and those who are clear will clear themselves."
"King Ning is rebellious and plots to usurp the throne! I can't kill him? The emperor was so angry that he threw two more pieces of porcelain.
Xie Mingyi knelt on the ground in silence, listening to the continuous scolding and scolding in his ears, and his thin lips were pursed very tightly.
I don't know how long it took.
He heard the Emperor cough violently suddenly.
When he raised his eyes again, he saw that the bright yellow robe was already stained with a cloud of blood, and the emperor was holding the table with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, and the blood in his mouth slipped from the thin fingers.
Xie Mingyi looked at it coldly for a while, then got up and called out, "Pass the Imperial Doctor-"
He watched the imperial doctor busy and helped the emperor to the couch.
Xie Mingyi inexplicably wanted to laugh.
But after being scolded a few times, he can be so angry that he vomits blood, and he doesn't look like a ruthless person. Seeing the emperor so weak with his own eyes, he couldn't feel any pity, but felt a little pity for Deng Yuan.
What's more, is it wrong?
He couldn't forget how the woman held him tightly under him, shielding her with her petite body, shielding herself from the flames and pain of the explosion. He was less than seven years old at the time, and he would cry in fright at the earth-shattering explosion.
Tears soaked his clothes, mixed with the woman's blood, and imprinted on his face, which could never be erased.
"Yi'er, don't look at it...... Walk on......"
He really didn't look back. He was drenched in blood, stepping on the mud she had turned into, and got up step by step.
He left his former name behind and lived well, and there was nothing in this world that he feared.
He keeps moving forward and never looks back.

When Wei Shuyao returned to the library pavilion, the first thing she did was to go to Changshun and ask for a hand warmer, and then hurriedly got into the quilt.
She curled up on the couch, and the warmth came from the hand stove.
It took a long time for her to come to her senses.
Cui Concubine was blown up by the emperor, what does this mean?
Is it the bombing of Ping Shun Fong thirteen years ago?
Although she has been disillusioned since she was a child, her father and brother love her very much, and her aunt also doted on her very much when she was alive. She didn't know how the unloved child survived, and she didn't know how she would feel if she heard the truth about her biological mother's tragic death.
It's still in such a tragic way.
Just as she was thinking wildly, Wei Shuyao heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Your Highness said that the picture is a little flawed, and I want to ask the girl to go over and make up for it." Changshun lowered his voice.
Wei Shuyao rubbed her eyes, this person wanted to see her in the middle of the night, and besides, she had carefully checked it several times, and there could be no mistake in the picture.
Taking a step back, he's been busy all day today, isn't he tired?
Doesn't he have to sleep?
Wei Shuyao yawned and followed Changshun out of the library pavilion.
Just like this, after walking for a while, Changshun raised the palace lamp and stopped, "Girl, go in, Your Highness is waiting inside." ”
Wei Shuyao smiled and pushed the door in.
As soon as she entered the hall, she felt that something was wrong.
The temple was terribly deserted.
The huge hall was empty, without a trace of the breath of a living person.
All the doors and windows were tightly closed, and only one corner lamp was lit in the hall, and the dim candle flame reflected the man sitting on the couch, and the faint halo made his figure appear more and more hazy.
"Come to Lonely." Xie Mingyi opened his mouth first.
Wei Shuyao quietly looked around, walked over, and stopped a few inches in front of him.
Xie Mingyi glanced at her, "Get closer." ”
Wei Shuyao couldn't hide her stunned eyes, so she had to move a few more steps. When she approached, she noticed that he didn't have a map in his hand.
"Afraid of what?" Xie Mingyi lowered his eyes and didn't look at her again, his voice was so cold that it was oozing.
Wei Shuyao was like a thorn in the back, and he thought of what he saw and heard in the Imperial Prison today.
I guess I'm in a terrible mood......
Wei Shuyao stiffened and leaned over a little more.
"Your Highness, didn't you say that the map needs to be completed?" Her fingers hidden under her sleeves were clenched tightly, and she was so nervous that she couldn't do it.
Xie Mingyi finally raised her eyelids, and her gaze slowly brushed over her beautiful face.
"Come up." A deep voice rang out in the empty hall.
Wei Shuyao hesitated for a long time, and as soon as she raised her foot, a shadow fell in front of her eyes.
Her wrist was clenched by the hot palm, and the crisp scent of cedar sprayed down her cheek with the man's hot breath.
Wei Shuyao's mind went blank and almost forgot to breathe.
She was just about to open her mouth, but Xie Mingyi suddenly grabbed her waist and took her into his arms.
"Don't move."
The strong and cold command voice did not allow her to put her beak.
Wei Shuyao immediately closed her mouth.
He took one hand around her waist and lifted her chin with the other, making her hold her head high.
Those cold black eyes were close at hand.
Xie Mingyi didn't speak, his eyes fell directly on her beautiful face.
He just looked at her like this, his eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions.
Xie Mingyi's appearance is somewhat similar to that of the emperor, with a similar facial profile and the same neat jawline, which adds a bit of sharpness. But his facial features are so delicate that they are almost bewitching, about like his mother.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Wei Shuyao was a little hairy by him, and couldn't help blinking, her thick and long eyelashes fluttering, reflecting a little warm candlelight.
She was in a bit of a trance.
Even when he was Shen Yi, he didn't stare at her like this.
There was no fluctuation in those eyes, just a slight flick of it made her feel very uneasy.
He was like a lone wolf foraging in the jungle, and she was a rabbit that could not move under his paws.
Xie Mingyi played with her black hair slowly and methodically, wrapped a strand of green silk around his fingers, and circled it one by one.
After a long time, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"What did your father say to you today?"
His words are not heavy, plain, low as alcohol, without the slightest questioning emotion, but it makes people tremble and chill all over the body.
Wei Shuyao twisted her eyebrows, but she quickly let go, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Father just told me to be careful not to fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, he didn't say anything else......"
Before the words fell, Xie Mingyi suddenly tightened the hand around Wei Shuyao's waist, forcing her to stumble forward.
His movements were swift and sudden, Wei Shuyao's body shook, and he pressed his shoulders hard to prevent himself from falling into his arms.
"Your Highness, if there is nothing to do, I will step back first." Wei Shuyao's voice was slightly higher, biting her lip and waving his hand away.
Xie Mingyi paused, then suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, "Why, Lone won't kill you." ”
There was still a loose smile on his lips, and the cold light of his eyes slowly slid down her cheeks, as if he was unhurriedly savoring her trepidation.
Wei Shuyao's back was numb, and even her breathing stagnated. Her fingers stiffened, her eyes staring at him in a daze, forgetting to tell.
Until the hot fingertips tightened her chin, clasped her head, and forced her close to his forehead.
The distance between the two of them was crushed, and those dark eyes were suddenly approaching, and she could clearly feel his anger turn into a violent wind.
"You know, Lone is the most disgusted with deception."
The hall was cold and silent, but Xie Mingyi's breathing was frighteningly hot.
His palm pinched the back of Wei Shuyao's neck, and she gasped. A little heat touched the shoulders and neck, like red coals ironing the back of her neck, making her can't help but have a thin layer of cold sweat.
Wei Shuyao's toes were numb from the cold, but a hot breath swept across her face and neck. Under the mixture of heat and cold, she felt dizzy and almost unsteady.
"Lone asks again, what did Wei Meng tell you today?"
The faint breath sprayed in her ears, causing her to shiver.
Xie Mingyi's strength in pinching the back of her neck became heavier and heavier, and Wei Shuyao bit her lip tightly in pain.
"Back then...... You lied to me, you lied to me, and now you want to lie and deceive me? Well? ”
