When Xiao Chengyong saw Gu Xiaomei, Gu Xiaomei was lying on the bed leisurely eating preserved fruits, and her white and pink face didn't look like she had been abused or frightened at all.

"Xiao Chengyong, you can be counted. They said it would take a few days for you to follow your little uncle to deal with government affairs!"

Seeing that Gu Xiaomei was unscathed, Xiao Chengyong, who had been tense, was relieved.

"Little sister, you wait for me for a while, I will discuss some things with Uncle Huang, and come back to you later. ”

Just walked out of the door, Xiao Chengyong opened his mouth impatiently.

"What does Uncle Huang want me to do?"

Xiao Qingyan sneered: "The emperor only needs to obey the arrangement of this king. ”

It has been trapped in Anyou Temple for two whole days, and now this Anyou Temple has been replaced by people from the rivers and lakes that Xiao Qingluan found out of nowhere, not only are they strong in martial arts, but they are also cold-blooded and ruthless. Ye Ningxiang dared to conclude that if she insisted on resisting, these people would definitely take her life without hesitation.

It will definitely not work to be trapped like this again, since Xiao Qingluan has spent so much effort to trap her Ye Ningxiang, there must be some big moves, and even said that this big action has already reached the implementation process.

No matter what the outcome is, Ye Ningxiang decided to take a gamble. So at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Ye Ningxiang deliberately pushed down the chair, causing a noise in her room. As Ye Ningxiang expected, the guards outside the door rushed to her room one after another, looking around, looking for Ye Ningxiang's traces.

"Oh no, the Queen Mother ran away!"

After the leading guard shouted this, he hurriedly left the place with the guards surrounding Ye Ningxiang's room to find Ye Ningxiang's whereabouts.

What they never expected was that Ye Ningxiang did not escape at all at this time, but hid very secretly on the beams of the house, and all the actions of these guards just now were watched by her.

After the group left, Ye Ningxiang cautiously got off the ground, then quickly ran to the side gate of Anyou Temple in three steps and two steps, and jumped out of Anyou Temple.

Ye Ningxiang knew that her bluffing trick could only be deceived for a while, and once these masters of the rivers and lakes found out that they were deceived by her Ye Ningxiang, they would go crazy looking for Ye Ningxiang's whereabouts, so even though she escaped Xiao Qingluan's surveillance at the moment, she still had to run non-stop to prevent Xiao Qingluan's people from discovering her whereabouts.

Xiao Qingluan's mind didn't seem to be as stupid as Ye Ningxiang thought, and he soon discovered Ye Ningxiang's plan, and soon chased after Ye Ningxiang.

Ye Ningxiang, who was running wildly all the way, felt that the torches lit up behind her were getting closer and closer, and even the sound of footsteps was getting clearer and clearer.

Ye Ningxiang's body is almost thirty years old, and a woman who is almost thirty years old is naturally incomparable to ten years ago. If it was in the past, Ye Ningxiang would probably not feel unbearable after running these distances, but now she is so tired that she feels like she is about to vomit blood, and the pounding heart almost jumps out of her body.

She fell to her knees weakly, panting as she wiped the tears that hung from her cheeks. It was at this moment of relaxation that a group of men with weapons and hideous faces suddenly appeared behind her.

These people are the assassins of the rivers and lakes who looked for Ye Ningxiang in the middle of the night.

When these people saw Ye Ningxiang's lonely appearance, they all showed evil and treacherous smiles, showed their weapons, and attacked Ye Ningxiang mercilessly.

Out of the instinct of survival, Ye Ningxiang desperately resisted the attack of this group of assassins, and in an instant, there were already a few more blood marks on her body.

Just as she was resisting the attack, a long knife that suddenly appeared struck her head, but at the same moment that the long knife attacked, Ye Ningxiang suddenly had an extremely sharp sword in front of her. The sword was impartial, and it was in the middle of the long knife attack.

Ye Ningxiang didn't expect that at this life-and-death moment, someone would jump into the fire pit and sacrifice their lives to save her, and immediately looked at the masked man in front of her with wide eyes and doubts. However, this man was not alone, and in an instant, more than twenty mysterious people dressed in black and wearing masks gathered around him.

I saw that after these mysterious people appeared, the Jianghu assassins who were chasing Ye Ningxiang suddenly weakened, and they all retreated back imperceptibly, although they were still holding weapons, they could faintly find that the weapons in their hands were trembling slightly.

"Dark ...... Shadow Guard?"

"That's right, Empress Dowager Ye's life is for our Shadow Guard. If you want, come to us and get it. But only if you are willing to live with your own lives. What to choose, what to do, you decide. ”

The Assassins looked at each other and hesitated for a long time, but after all, no one risked being killed to face off against the top masters of the Shadow Guard. After hearing the Assassin leader's hatred and hatred throw down the word "go", these Assassins, who had been majestic a moment ago, fled one after another.

"Who are you, and what is the purpose of saving me?"

Ye Ningxiang picked up a long knife that had fallen during the previous assassin's fight and stood it horizontally on his chest, making a gesture of preparation.

The black-clothed masked man led by him actually smiled at Ye Ningxiang, and then uncovered his mask without reservation, but the face under the mask made Ye Ningxiang, who had just stabilized his mind, frightened again. Because Cheng Ajiu, who had died a long time ago, once again stood alive in front of Ye Ningxiang.

Cheng ...... Aren't you already ......? Are you dead?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, it was Mr. Mu's secret operation that saved one of my lives. Queen Mother, now that you know my identity, you might as well put down this long knife! I, Cheng Ajiu, and the entire Damingyue Palace will definitely guarantee your safety. ”

Seeing Cheng Ajiu's words full of determination, Ye Ningxiang no longer doubted in her heart, and while looking at Cheng Ajiu with resolute eyes, she threw the long knife on the ground.

"Mr. Cheng, what is the situation in Yingdu City now?"

Hearing Ye Ningxiang's question, Cheng Ajiu sighed, his face was solemn, and Ye Ningxiang didn't need him to open his mouth, but Ye Ningxiang also expected that the current situation could be said to be extremely bad for them.

"Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Qingyan, the king of Wu, rebelled on the grounds of defending the Rui country, but the person who was his solid backing was your stepson Xiao Chengyong. ”

"What did you say?"

Ye Ningxiang guessed that there might be a rebellion in Yingdu, but she never thought that Xiao Chengyong, who was supposed to stay in the palace honestly, would run to Xiao Qingyan's side, and was shocked for a while.

"Xiao Qingyan denounced you in the name of the emperor, saying that the Empress Dowager threatened the emperor, controlled the government, caused chaos in the palace, and brutalized the loyal and good, and everyone was punished. Now the rebel group led by Xiao Qingyan has invaded Yingdu City and occupied the palace. ”

In the end, he was fully prepared, and he was able to successfully attack the capital and enter the palace overnight. And everything that Ye Ningxiang has worked hard for all these years has come to naught overnight. Ye Ningxiang was silent for a long time, then laughed a few times, then withdrew her smile, and her face showed a cold look again.

"Cheng Ajiu, since you are willing to sacrifice your life to save me, you are a person who is willing to be loyal to me, and I want you and your subordinates to obey my orders from now on. ”

Ye Ningxiang did not ask Cheng Ajiu for approval, but affirmed, and seemed to ask Cheng Ajiu to completely obey her orders with the meaning of command. And this Cheng Ajiu didn't resist, and immediately nodded and replied: "If the Queen Mother has any orders, just say it bluntly, as long as our Daming Moon Palace can do it, even if it is up the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

"Actually, it's not a difficult thing, I want you and your people to help me meet Wei Xun. ”

Xiao Qingyan invaded the capital city with almost no effort, because a member of the rebel group, Taiwei Zhou Yin, still controlled more than half of the military power of the country.

Now the official in charge of guarding the capital is still Zhou Yin's student, so he will naturally obey Zhou Yin's orders without resistance. Moreover, they occupied the palace this time in the name of the emperor, and this little emperor was really standing beside Xiao Qingyan, at the forefront of everyone.

Under such a perfect operation, Ye Ningxiang, who was still high up a few days ago and leaned towards the government and the opposition, has now become a usurper and rebel in Yingdu City, and his status has plummeted.

In the Chongming Palace, the empty hall was empty except for Xiao Qingyan, the young Xiao Qingyan was still a little impetuous, after successfully attacking the palace, he was intoxicated with the joy of this victory, and did not step up to kill Ye Ningxiang's supporters, but he entered the Chongming Hall alone, rubbing the golden light in front of him, and the dragon chair that was taken away from him by Xiao Qingyusheng.

This dragon chair will be his dragon chair sooner or later, and this world will be his world sooner or later. Now that he has occupied Yingdu, Ye Ningxiang's most trusted Rongguo Gong was besieged by Han Zhongjun, who was arranged by Zhou Yin three years ago, and his life and death were unpredictable. There are almost no troops around that can be appointed by Ye Ningxiang, and it is impossible to make a comeback.

As for when the scourge of Ye Ningxiang can be completely eliminated, it all depends on his will. If he lets her live, she will live a few more days, and if he lets her die, she will never see the sun tomorrow.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, why are you here, but let me find it!"

Feng Yi was sweating profusely and ran into the Chongming Hall out of breath.

"Feng Yi, what's the matter with you?"

Feng Yi took a steady breath and said straight to the point: "Now that we have occupied the capital and occupied the palace, and the people of the world also know that we are doing such a siege in order to correct the emperor's name and condemn the queen mother." Then Feng thought that there was no need to keep the scourge of Xiao Chengyong. ”

Now that the people know the reason for King Wu's rebellion, and they have seen with their own eyes that the person who led everyone to attack the palace is their emperor, and the goal of ruining Ye Ningxiang's reputation has been achieved, so Xiao Chengyong* has no reason to stay at all.

"Okay, let's go and send him to the Yellow Springs. ”

Xiao Chengyong, who returned to the palace again, was placed in Longhua Palace as before, and the difference from before was that now he was imprisoned here with him, along with his first friend Gu Xiaomei. Xiao Chengyong thought that if they acted according to Xiao Qingyan's words, they would let Gu Xiaomei go, and they would no longer spy on him, imprison him, and even return him to freedom.

However, the reality is 108,000 miles away from what he thought, and now the guards around this Longhua Palace are three times as many as before, and the guards are all fierce and vicious, and they no longer regard him, the emperor who is still on the throne, as a master, although they did not say anything abusive to him, but the disdain in their eyes made Xiao Chengyong fall into despair.

"Xiao Chengyong, my father said that we will have many paths to choose in our lives, but once we make a choice, no matter whether there is light or darkness ahead, a smooth road or a thorny road, we must have the courage to persevere. So no matter what we are going to face, we can't throw in the towel, let alone give up. ”

Xiao Chengyong raised his heavy eyes to look at Gu Xiaomei, held back his tears, and nodded firmly.

It was also at the same moment that Xiao Qingyan took Feng Yi into the room where Xiao Chengyong and Gu Xiaomei were.

"Good nephew, without the old woman surnamed Ye, you have been comfortable for the past two days?"

Xiao Chengyong did not answer, but got up and blocked in front of Gu Xiaomei, with the intention of sacrificing his life for Gu Xiaomei.

"What do you mean by this, that you want to die in her place?"

Xiao Qingyan smiled treacherously, and a strong killing intent flashed in his dark eyes.

"But don't worry, I, Xiao Qingyan, will never favor one over the other. for today you will all die. ”
