Chapter 144: When It's Critical

In the side hall of Yuexian Palace, Qiao Yueluo had just released the pigeon and transmitted the news in the palace, when she heard a chaotic footsteps at the door.

"The emperor ordered Qiao Yueluo and Lou Qian to be escorted to the execution ground and beheaded for public display. At the door of Yuexian Palace, Xiao Dezi shouted at the top of his voice, which frightened Xiao Louqian and made the little baby cry loudly.

Qiao Yueluo was shocked, she thought that she would join forces with Lu Qiao to help Lu Qiao release news outside the palace, at least temporarily save the Lou family, but she didn't expect that Mu Qingjue's holy decree came so quickly, which caught her off guard.

"Second young lady, let's go with our family. Xiao Dezi walked in front of Qiao Yueluo, said this, and then waved his hand to the two guards behind him, asking them to support Qiao Yueluo on the left and right, and walked outside.

Qiao Yueluo didn't say anything, just broke free from the hands of the two guards, and then coaxed the son in her arms to soothe the child's restless emotions. Perhaps feeling the breath of his mother, the child quickly quieted down and stopped crying.

All the people in the palace are speculating that after this incident, whether the famous Lou family will no longer exist, whether it is the god of war or the guardian god, it can only exist in people's memory, and after thousands of years, it will gradually be forgotten.

All the people of the Lou family were escorted to the execution ground, up to Lou Zhenyuan, the old general Lou Zhenyuan, down to the newborn baby Lou Qian of the Lou family, including the maids and servants of the Lou family, a total of 137 people except Lou Xiyu, all of them were tied up behind their backs and knelt on the execution ground, waiting for Mu Qingjue's new order.

The cold wind was bitter, and the biting cold wind was like a cold knife, stabbing everyone's body and everyone's heart.

All the Lou family members had peace on their faces, as if they had already expected such an ending, without any accidents or resistance, quietly waiting for their fate.

Except for Qiao Yueluo, she was the only one who was not tied up behind her back, because she was holding the child in her hands.

She looked at the child in her arms, he was still so young, not long after he was born, and before he had time to take a good look at the world, he was about to become a victim of this imperial power, and a stepping stone for the emperor to achieve hegemony and consolidate his rule.

She moved her body and used her body to shield her child from the cold wind, hoping that, at least for the rest of her life, her child would not be harmed in any way.

Mu Qingjue's will was sent to Xu Ming with an expedited eight hundred miles, asking him to exchange the life of the Lou family with the talisman, and when Xu Ming received the holy decree, his hands trembled involuntarily, because he didn't know how to choose.

At the same time, in the palace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, Lu Qiao sat in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, the injuries on her body had not healed, and she dreamed back at midnight, and it seemed that she could still hear the unformed child crying, her heart was very painful, but she chose this path in the morning, so she couldn't turn back.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiao got up and walked towards the outside of Zhaoyang Palace.

"Niangniang, where are you going?" Lotus Ye asked when she saw Lu Qiao walking out.

"Where is the emperor now?" Lu Qiao asked, looking at the lotus leaf, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see any clues.

"The emperor is now going to the prison, and I heard that he is going to go to the prison in person to give an order, and let General Lou be escorted to the execution ground to prepare for execution. Lotus Ye paused for a moment, and finally said.

"If she was here, she wouldn't have let things turn out like this, her life was saved by her, and my talent and ability were also taught by her, but I was not as good as one ten-thousandth of her after all. Lu Qiao said lightly, "Okay, let me do the last thing for her, and if I repay this kindness, I will no longer owe her." ”

After Lu Qiao finished speaking, he sighed faintly, and then walked out of Zhaoyang Palace and headed towards the imperial study.

Since Mu Qingjue is in the prison at the moment, then there must be no one in the imperial study now, and it is also a good time for her to do things, if such a broken cauldron can't help Mu Qingchen buy time, then ...... She couldn't help it.

Lotus Ye looked at Lu Qiao, who was a little wrong, thought about it, and still raised his heels and arrived at the door of the imperial study.

"Qingfei Niangniang, please stay, the imperial study is heavy, and you are not allowed to enter. The little eunuch at the door said to Green Qiao very dutifully.

"When did you see the palace and be blocked from entering the imperial study? The emperor once had a holy decree that the imperial study and the palace can enter and exit at will, have you forgotten? Or ...... Do you want to resist the decree?" Lu Qiao's eyes turned to look at the little eunuch and said.

Although very weak, it seems to have a momentum that is not angry.

The little eunuch at the door was stunned for a moment, he had the impression that the young concubine was extremely amiable and very good to everyone, how could he ever talk to him in such a sharp tone?

At the moment when the little eunuch was stunned, Lu Qiao had already pushed the door in, and stepped into the imperial study without hesitation.

"Niangniang-" Lotus Ye wanted to follow in, but she didn't expect to be stopped by Lu Qiao.

"Lotus Ye, you go to the heavenly prison to find the emperor and tell him...... If he hadn't shown up in the study, he would never have seen me again. Lu Qiao commanded directly, and before the lotus leaf could react, he closed the door of the imperial study with his backhand and walked towards the store.

She should be grateful to Mu Qingchen for teaching her the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that she has some shadows of Ye Qingcheng back then, so that she can get Mu Qingjue's favor; she should also thank Mu Qingjue for her love, never prevented her from entering the imperial study, and never hid all the secrets in her imperial study.

The so-called evidence that Xiao Ling gave to Mu Qingjue, including the confession written by Lou Xiyu herself, was all stored by Mu Qingjue in the secret compartment next to the bookshelf behind the dragon chair in the imperial study.

It took no effort to find those things, took out the fire fold from his sleeve, and then slowly lit it, burning all the evidence that was unfavorable to the Lou family.

Although she knew that since Xu Ming led the troops back to the capital, these so-called evidences were just Mu Qingjue's assistance in destroying the Lou family, and since Xu Ming led the troops back to the capital, these evidences have been dispensable, but she still can't leave a little threat to the Lou family.

Because...... The Lou family has not been destroyed, and Lou Xiyu is not dead, Mu Qingchen ...... It may also turn things around at the last moment.

Seeing this pile of paper being burned to ashes, Lu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she turned around and looked at this imperial study, not long ago, she and Mu Qingjue were still here, and they had a sweet and happy memory, but now, things are different from people, and they each have their own plans.

Suddenly, she took a deep breath and threw the fire fold in her hand forward, which happened to land on the pile of folds on Mu Qingjue's case, and the fire quickly spread.

Green Joe didn't mean to dodge at all, but walked to the fire, swept his hands over the desk, and swept all the burning pieces on the table, some floated to the bookshelf next to him, and set the books on the bookshelf on fire, and some fell on the wooden chair, igniting the fragile wood......

Actually, it's not much of a fire, and Green Joe didn't plan to burn himself, but ...... When Mu Qingjue hurried over from the prison, he saw such a scene.

Lu Qiao sat on the dragon chair that belonged to him, his face was extremely calm, looking at the fire spreading everywhere, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mu Qingjue looked at such a green Qiao, and suddenly felt as if he had been hit by something, but he was an emperor, he would not admit what this strange emotion in his heart represented, he just kicked the door of the imperial study wider open, and then rushed towards Lu Qiao.

"What are you doing, come out quickly!" Mu Qingjue looked at Lu Qiao, stretched out his hand, and said.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I burned the evidence, the evidence about the Lou family's rebellion, including Lou Xiyu's confession. Lu Qiao smiled lightly, and didn't seem to be worried at all, so he confessed everything.

"What are you talking about, do you know how important these things are to me!" Mu Qingjue was immediately angry when he heard this, and yelled at Lu Qiao.

For these things, Xiao Ling even put the Gu poison of Southern Xinjiang on him, but now...... These things were all burned by Green Qiao, how could he not be angry?

But his anger was quickly replaced by the worry in his heart, because he saw that the fire around Lu Qiao was getting bigger and bigger, almost swallowing Lu Qiao's whole person, Lu Qiao's pale face was in stark contrast to the gorgeous firelight, he did not hesitate at all, rushed in, took Lu Qiao in his arms, and ran towards the outside of the imperial study.

Lu Qiao was held in Mu Qingjue's arms, still with a faint smile on his face, and said in a voice that was just enough for Mu Qingjue to hear:

"Didn't you always want to know who the person behind me was? I can tell you right now...... My master, it is Ye Qingcheng who you can't ask for, which is now Mu Qingchen...... The purpose of my coming to the Heavenly Star Kingdom Palace is to prevent this day, when the situation changes, and she can't reach it...... The Lou family is full of loyalty, even if Xu Ming makes a mistake now, it is you who listened to Xiao Ling's slander and forced it out......"

Mu Qingjue listened to Lu Qiao's words, walked into his dormitory with Lu Qiao in his arms, put Lu Qiao on the bed, and was about to ask something, but suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes were dark, so he fell towards the bed, and soon lost consciousness and didn't know anything.

Lu Qiao looked at Mu Qingjue, who had fallen into a coma, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath and muttered:

"Three days, I can only fight for the Lou family for three days, as long as he doesn't wake up, then the holy decree of killing the Lou family will not be transmitted, whether he can change all this, it depends on Mu Qingchen." ”

After saying this, Lu Qiao threw the silver needle in his hand under the dragon bed. Just now, she just caught Mu Qingjue's attention while talking, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to pierce his acupuncture points with a silver needle, making him fall into a coma.

Mu Qingjue on the bed didn't react in the slightest, he didn't know Lu Qiao's plans, and he didn't know that the powerful and prosperous Tianxing Kingdom in the past would undergo earth-shaking changes after experiencing this incident.
