Two hundred miles north of the southwest military camp, Wei Xun's soldiers were in full swing with Zhou Yin's soldiers, and the sound of blades colliding and the blood splashing everywhere all showed a tragic and poignant picture.

Xiao Qingluan came at such a moment, when she arrived on this battlefield, she saw such a scene, and her husband was no exception, covered in blood and tattered clothes, as if he had crawled out of a pile of dead people.

Xiao Qingluan didn't know martial arts, but he always couldn't control himself and ran towards the center of the most dangerous battlefield.

"Stop, stop me!"

Because they were dressed in princess clothes, even if these soldiers had never seen the eldest princess, they could conclude that the woman who was pouring into the center of the battlefield at the moment was the wife of Rong Guogong, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Da Rui.

Therefore, these two forces invariably stopped one after another, quietly looking at Xiao Qingluan and Wei Xun, waiting for things to develop further.

"Wei Xun, how are you?"

Xiao Qingluan hurriedly ran to Wei Xun's side, stroked Wei Xun's bloodstained arm, choked up, and tears flowed uncontrollably. However, the expression on Wei Xun's face at this moment was very strange, not because of the pain of the wound, not because of her arrival, but like a kind of guilt for no reason.

"Why don't you speak? ...... Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gradually, Xiao Qingluan's heart ignited a very bad premonition, her heart beat faster, she looked nervously at Wei Xun who was speechless, and then looked around at the surrounding soldiers.

Sure enough, it was all a trap.

Suddenly, countless sergeants poured out from all directions, and the sergeants screamed at the top of their voices, showing the momentum of victory everywhere. However, riding a tall horse, the person who led these soldiers was Ye Ningxiang.

Xiao Qingluan looked at Wei Xun with a desperate face, and it took a long time to show a poignant, as if he had no business.

"Wei Xun, it turns out that you deliberately sent someone to send me a letter to let me jump into this trap myself, just to break one of Xiao Qingyan's arms. It turns out that you are not in danger and about to die in battle, but you are pretending to be pitiful. It turns out that you've been using me all along. ”

Wei Xun's Adam's apple trembled for a long time before he stammered out a sentence, the easiest but most difficult to say three words.

"I'm sorry. ”

Ye Ningxiang's movements were very fast, but in a moment, the long knife was already on Xiao Qingluan's neck, and those Zhou Yin's subordinates, who thought they would win a moment ago, had already disarmed and surrendered at this moment, clasping their fists with both hands, kneeling on the ground, waiting for Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun's fall.

Imperial Palace of Yingdu City.

Xiao Chengyong, who should have gone to Huangquan a long time ago, disappeared without a trace at this moment, and Xiao Qingyan, who had already taken the lead, was worried about this all the time.

If Xiao Chengyong was brought to Ye Ningxiang by the man in black, and was coerced by Ye Ningxiang, then the hearts of the people in the world would have to be transferred to Ye Ningxiang. Xiao Qingyan couldn't imagine the outcome he would have to meet when things got to that point.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not good, Empress Dowager Ye counterattacked us under the banner of the emperor, saying that we coerced the emperor and threatened the emperor to do something disrespectful, in fact, it was to usurp power and seize the throne for herself. ”

"What did you say?"

"Xiao Chengyong is in the hands of the Queen Mother right now, and the officials who were previously biased towards our people and who previously defected to us have all turned to the Queen Mother's side. Whereas...... And ......"

"And what, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!"

The eldest princess fell into the hands of the Queen Mother, and Zhou Yin disappeared when she saw that the situation was not good. In other words, within half a day, Ye Ningxiang will recapture Yingdu and reoccupy the palace. ”

Xiao Qingyan's eyes widened, and his face was full of anger as if he wanted to eat people. Then there was a series of broken porcelain, and all the furniture and utensils in his room were thrown to the ground by him, and in an instant, the solemn and elegant palace became a mess.

"What about Xia Qingqing, where is that slut Xia Qingqing?"

Xia Qingqing didn't expect Xiao Qingyan to settle accounts with her so quickly, and she was suddenly shocked, the hand that was packing the clothes trembled suddenly, and the sorted clothes were scattered all over the ground. She was just about to squat down and pick up the clothes that she had dropped, only to feel that her neck seemed to be tightly bound by something, and when she looked up, she was facing Xiao Qingyan's eyes.

"Xia Qingqing, you instigated this king to rebel, causing this king to break so many people, and now he is defeated again. Why, now that the usurpation has failed, you want to run!"

Xia Qingqing's cheeks were flushed, and she looked even more terrifying against the backdrop of the scars on her face. She gasped heavily, desperately breathing air, and said with difficulty: "How could Qingqing escape, Qingqing is a person of His Highness, even if he dies, he will be loyal to His Highness." ”

The young Wu Wangchengfu was not deep, looking at the heart-wrenching tears shed by Xia Qingqing and the words that sounded like he couldn't bear to move anymore, his hand that was holding Xia Qingqing subconsciously sent it away.

Xia Qingqing took a few breaths of fresh air in a row, but the eyes that were pitiful instantly became cold and terrifying, as if he had suddenly changed people. A strange smile curled into the corners of her mouth, and when the upturned corners of her mouth returned to their place, there was an extra dead man in front of her.

Xiao Qingyan, the king of Wu who was thinking about killing her a moment ago, couldn't threaten her anymore at this moment, couldn't speak, and couldn't move. He fell to the ground upright, his eyes wide open, his hands tightly clasped around his neck, and blood gushing out of his neck.

Xia Qingqing leaned down, wiped the dagger that had just cut Xiao Qingyan's throat and was stained with a lot of blood on Xiao Qingyan's clothes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Qingyan, if you had half of Xiao Qingyu's ruthlessness, you wouldn't end up like today." Tut-tut, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

The palace was so dark that it chilled from the bottom of the heart, and the sound of swords, guns, swords, and halberds could be faintly heard, as well as the screams of the unlucky eunuch and maid before they died.

Although she paid a painful price, she Ye Ningxiang still returned to Yingdu City and returned to Chongming Palace.

The incessant sounds of fighting and screaming outside the hall announced not the end of the usurpation of power, but a new beginning. It was a new beginning on her path to imperial power. From now on, no one will have the ability to question her authority, no one will dare to disobey her, and no one will dare to do anything disrespectful to her.

Xiao Chengyong hoped from the bottom of his heart that his little uncle could take Ye Ningxiang's life, so that this evil woman who was constantly monitoring him and would take his life at any time disappeared from his world forever. Obviously, this is not what he expects at the moment.

He stood timidly in a corner of the Chongming Palace, his head bowed, trembling with fear. If he had expected it, tonight would have been his death.

However, Ye Ningxiang didn't seem to take this kid to heart at all, and first asked Xiao Qingluan to bring to the palace. Xiao Qingluan was tightly bound by the hemp rope, and the friction between his neck and wrists revealed dark red blood marks because of the friction of the rope.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, do you have any last words to say?"

Xiao Qingluan looked at the ruthless woman in front of her with a resentful expression, and her anger made her unable to say anything.

"Since there is nothing to say, let's wait for the beheading at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow to show the public!"

Xiao Qingluan raised her head suddenly, as if she couldn't believe that the difference in her body would be the final end of her life. She didn't want to speak a moment ago, and she didn't have a chance to speak at this moment, because she had been rudely erected out of Chongming Hall by the soldiers.

Wei Xun ran into the Chongming Palace, forgot all the etiquette, and rushed to Ye Ningxiang in a daze.

"Mother, you can't ...... You can't kill her. ”

Ye Ningxiang didn't expect that Wei Xun would come to plead with her at this critical juncture, committing a great disrespectful crime. That woman had committed the great crime of treason, and she almost killed him, even if she later showed up and sacrificed her life to help Wei Xun get out of danger. But if the crime is committed, it is committed, and no one can offset it, and no one can cover it up.

"Rong Guogong, if you want to intercede for the eldest princess, you should save your tongue. ”

"The Queen Mother. ”

Wei Xun knelt down without warning, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"Qingluan is certainly guilty, but the ghost has lost his mind, and the sin is not to death. Besides, everything she did was just for me, for my love and hatred. I beg you to spare her life. ”

After saying that, Wei Xun kowtowed heavily to Ye Ningxiang, every nerve and every inch of skin in his body showed a heart-rending pain.

"Wei Xun, don't you have no feelings for her, you just want to get higher power and status by marrying her, why are you begging me so humbly for her now?"

When she said this, Ye Ningxiang was puzzled and disappointed, because she had never seen Wei Xun look so out of shape, or she forgot that Wei Xun had done such a gaffe today.

"Because I'm her husband. It is true that I do not love her, but from the moment I agreed to marry her, I took responsibility in my heart, and it was my responsibility to keep her safe for the rest of her life. ”

In the dark and foul-smelling cell, Xiao Qingluan sat on the dry grass stained with water vapor, thoughtful but seemingly thoughtless. This night is her last night in this world, if she can see him again, she does not ask for luxury, only to see him, so that his face is deeply engraved in her heart, even if she drinks Meng Po soup on the Huangquan Road, she will never forget his face.

The sound is getting closer and closer, and when you listen closely, it looks like the sound of hurried footsteps. Who is it, who will visit a poor woman who has lost her life and is waiting for death in this long, lonely night. Could it be him?

Xiao Qingluan took the order. ”

The sharp voice of the eunuch broke all the doubts in Xiao Qingluan's heart. The chains wrapped around her made her unable to move, nor could she kneel down to meet the sudden decree.

The eunuch of Xuan paper did not pay attention to these, and read the content of the holy decree to himself: "Xiao Qingluan conspired against King Wu, and his crime should be punished. Xiao Qingluan, I haven't received the order yet!"

Xiao Qingluan was both shocked and unwilling, she didn't understand why Ye Ningxiang suddenly spared her life, and she didn't want to say something against her will to flatter Ye Ningxiang to this empty holy decree. After a stalemate like this for a long time, the eunuch finally said impatiently: "Anyway, this will has been passed on to our family, and the executioner will arrive in a while, no matter what Her Royal Highness the princess thinks in her heart, you can only bear it silently at the moment." ”

After that, the eunuch snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, and strode out of the cell with the little eunuch behind him.
