The night was quiet.

There was still no sound around, and even if you heard the sound of weapons clashing on the street, you couldn't avoid it.

The situation in the imperial city remained unchanged, Xiao Ling's forbidden army and secret guards guarded the palace gates, archers were on standby on the city walls, and the Gyeonggi guards fought with the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion in the streets and alleys. And Xiao Ling's people stayed by the side of the officials of the DPRK and China to protect their safety, and the large army of the Hou and Xiao cavalry battalions with different surnames besieged under the city tower, waiting for the final decisive battle.

On the city tower, Xiao Ling held a small medicine bottle in his hand, smiling inexplicably, and all the people were waiting for Xiao Yi's answer, Mu Qingchen or the antidote.

Xiao Yi's gaze swept over the restrained woman, who was wearing the same clothes that Qingchen wore when she entered the palace, but her face was also covered by a black hood, and she couldn't see whether she was Mu Qingchen or not. The woman's body was stiff and she didn't say a word, obviously she had been pointed.

However...... Xiao Yi only looked at the woman for a moment, then looked away and stopped looking at her.

According to the original plan, according to the agreement between Qingchen and him, at this time, Qingchen should have gone out of the palace with Ye Xi a long time ago, so this woman who was restrained by Zhang Jing could not be Mu Qingchen at all.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth, since it was not Mu Qingchen, what did it have to do with him?

He can do without the antidote, but Xiao Ling must take it, because Xiao Ling's martial arts are better than anyone else. And Xiao Ling is scheming, this time it was because of Qingchen's good deployment that he was caught off guard, if he was given a chance to breathe, I was afraid that it would not be so easy to deal with.

"I don't want the antidote or her, no matter what, I must take you down today and go to my father's tomb to ask for guilt. Xiao Yi pointed at Ye Xi and spoke, his eyes calm.

Qingchen was a little stunned when he heard this. Xiao Yi didn't want an antidote, she had always known about this matter, because Xiao Yi felt that she had nothing to love, and she only wanted to find out the truth about the death of the first emperor and the grievances of the Ye family's annihilation, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yi didn't choose her.

Xiao Ling said that the faceless woman who was tied up was Mu Qingchen, and Xiao Yi did not choose the antidote, nor did he choose "Mu Qingchen".

Because choosing one of them means that one thing has to be exchanged, and what Xiao Yi has now, and Xiao Ling can take a fancy to it, there is only one thing, and that is the throne.

Xiao Ling is about to lose, and Xiao Yi has the throne at his fingertips.

"If you really deserve to be my Nine Emperor Brothers, women are in your heart, but they are just dispensable playthings. You have such an opportunity today, and Mu Qingchen is also indispensable, but I didn't expect that you would refuse to use this imperial throne to exchange her life. Xiao Ling glanced in Ye Xi's direction and said with a smile.

Qingchen stood not far from Zhang Jing, looking at the expressions on Xiao Ling and Xiao Yi's faces, she even felt that when Xiao Ling looked at Ye Xi, his eyes were actually looking in her direction.

Could it be that Xiao Ling had already discovered her identity? That's why he deliberately said these words to her? Let her know that in fact, Xiao Yi was just such a heartless person, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else's position except for the throne in his heart?

"Brother Huang is wrong, like this today, because I can't bear to see my father under the Nine Springs, his wife and children actually poisoned him for the throne and put him to death; Brother Huang, no matter what you say today, I will take you to your father and the emperor to kowtow and ask for sin. ”

"Hahaha-what a righteous and awe-inspiring His Royal Highness King Yi! Keep saying that for my father, for the Ye family, and for the Ningyue Kingdom, in fact, to put it bluntly, you just have a grudge against Ye Tingcheng for choosing me, and want to take away this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains from my hands! So you forged the edict of the first emperor, bribed the marquis with a different surname, plotted against the Xiao cavalry camp, and bribed the court officials, everything was mastered by you behind the scenes!" Xiao Ling smiled and said sarcastically.

"Brother Huang, why are you obsessed?"

"You're the one who doesn't come to your senses, right? You don't know anything when I do? Do you remember the assassination you encountered in the Vast Mountain last year when you escorted Mu Qingchen from Tianxing to Ningyue as a prince?" Xiao Ling continued to speak, "Zhuo Kai, the leader of the secret guards who died under your sword, is it your person? So when you see him, you know that I sent those Assassins, and I'm right?"

"Yes, from that time on, I knew that you didn't want me to go back to Kyoto, and you didn't want to marry the Celestial Star Kingdom. Xiao Yi said, "Because you are afraid that my return will threaten your position, and you are afraid of marrying the Celestial Star Kingdom, you will not be able to find a suitable excuse when you go to war with the Celestial Star in the future." ”

"So, all this is under your control, because you knew at that time that Mu Qingchen knew martial arts, was calm and rational, and extremely smart, so you protected her all the way and made her dependent and liking for you. She thought she was doing her own thing, but she didn't expect that she would become your pawn. Xiao Ling suddenly raised his voice and said again, "So, in the final analysis, you still used Mu Qingchen and everyone for the throne. ”

At the moment when Xiao Ling's words fell, the word "utilization" suddenly flashed in Qingchen's heart, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making her whole person a little sluggish and unbelievable.

It turned out that Xiao Yi knew everything, he knew that those secret guards were Xiao Ling's people from the beginning, and at that time, he saw that there was an unknown hatred between her and Xiao Ling, so he protected her along the way, helped her hide the secret that she couldn't reveal in front of others, and even quietly accepted Xiao Ling's marriage, it turned out that he took a fancy to her ability, knowing that she could help him achieve his goal?

The thoughts in his mind turned over the river, Qingchen lowered his head, thinking about the bits and pieces between himself and Xiao Yi over the past year or so, from defense to trust, from concealing each other to confessing to each other, it turned out that everything was just her, led by the nose?

Xiao Yi helped in such a timely manner every time, so that she could successfully evade Xiao Ling's pursuit every time, and because of this, she gradually took off her guard against Xiao Yi. Because compared to Xiao Ling, who would only use her, and even unload and kill the donkey after using her, Xiao Yi is really much better.

But who would have thought that Xiao Yi was just more clever than Xiao Ling, he never asked her to do anything, but he could always appear at the right time, affecting her thoughts and making her involuntarily go on according to what he wanted in her heart.

She...... Is it true that you still believe in the wrong person?

Now it seems that Xiao Yi showed in front of her that he cared about Ye Tingcheng and wanted to redress the grievances of the Ye family, perhaps because he saw her thoughts, so he deliberately did it in front of her.

She still remembered that when Xiao Yi was in the Guimo Pavilion, she was so firm that she believed him, and she believed it because of her protection and ignorance for days. But I didn't expect that these things were just illusory illusions, fragile and vulnerable.

He doesn't want an antidote, and he doesn't want to be clean, because he wants the throne.

Just when Qingchen was thinking about all this in a complicated way, he didn't expect Xiao Ling to suddenly move, his figure flashed, and he swept directly to her side, clicked on her acupoint, and then broke her mouth and poured all the potions in the small medicine bottle into her mouth.

This scene came unexpectedly, and by the time Qingchen realized that she was restrained, she couldn't move, and the cold liquid slowly slid down her throat and into her stomach.

"Since you don't choose anyone, then ...... Let her disappear into this world with it, even if you get the throne, you can only guard the few lives you have left, and live this life alone on the dragon chair. Xiao Ling said, and then took off the forbidden helmet on Qingchen's head, and suddenly laughed, and a strange sound of yin and yang drifted in the air, making everyone feel a little creepy.

The head like a waterfall green silk flew in the air with a beautiful arc, and then fell, hanging behind Qingchen, although his face was plastered, Xiao Yi still recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was his wife, Mu Qingchen.

Xiao Ling unlocked Qingchen's acupoint, and Qingchen immediately squatted down, desperately trying to spit out the potion he had just drunk, but he never thought that it was in vain.

The antidote to Zhilanrui is actually a poison, that is to say, the seventy-two kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs of Zhilanrui are refined in order and reversed, and the two different poisons formed are actually antidoes to each other.

In other words, Mu Qingchen and Xiao Yi took different Zhilanrui, and their antidote to each other had already been drunk by each other.

Xiao Yi looked at the scene in front of him, his face suddenly changed, the brilliance in his eyes disappeared in an instant, as dull as dead ashes, and his cracked expression was no longer enough to describe his mood at the moment.

He knew that the woman with the hood was not Qingchen, but he didn't expect that Qingchen did not leave the palace, but disguised as a forbidden army, stayed here, knew everything, and was forcibly fed poison by Xiao Ling because of his wrong judgment.

Only now did he know why Xiao Ling would say all these things at this time, because Xiao Ling had already seen through Qingchen's disguise and wanted to provoke the relationship between him and Qingchen.

He had already agreed with Qingchen, and when things were settled, the two confessed everything to each other, even if these things were today, he had already prepared to explain them to Qingchen, but being said by Xiao Ling and saying it from his mouth were two different things.

What's more, he was also involved in dust poisoning.

How strong Zhi Lanrui's toxicity is, he knows very well, for so many years, every month he has to hide alone in an unknown place, using internal force to resist the pain that travels all over his body, if it weren't for the strong internal force, I'm afraid he would have been unable to support it.
