The emperor sat down opposite Jian Chen, and another eunuch came over from outside with a bowl of soup and medicine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Jian Chen, I think about it, I think it's not appropriate to behead you tomorrow to show the public, not to mention that there is a chance that the people of Wulin Yuan will come to rob the prison, just because the execution is suddenly stopped today and made public tomorrow, it will attract criticism, so I have decided to secretly execute you tonight. The emperor said with a blank face.

The eunuch behind him walked up to Jian Chen and handed him the bowl of decoction.

"This medicine was prepared by me in the Tai Hospital, and if you drink it, you will die without pain, which is also my last grace to you. ”

Jian Chen took the medicine and looked at the emperor.

"People say that there can be no family affection within the royal family, before, Chen Jian didn't believe it, but now, Chen Jian still believes it. ”

The Emperor motioned for the guards and eunuchs around him to stand down and closed the cell door.

"In the imperial family, you can't have the kindness of a woman, if you care too much about family affection, you will be hurt by your relatives. Therefore, I have long learned to abandon these so-called family affections, so I can sit on this throne so far. ”

"Sitting on the throne alone, won't the emperor be lonely?" Jian Chen picked up the medicine bowl.

"Chen Jian has been adrift all his life, lonely for nearly 20 years, although there are masters, senior brothers, and even Lord Lu have given Chen Jian's family warmth, but Chen Jian still hopes to have his real relatives. Now that he finally knows his life experience, although he can't recognize each other, Chen Jian is also content. Now that the imprint is gone, I also want to end my life, hoping that the emperor can give me one last chance. ”

"What chance?" said the Emperor coldly.

"Can I call you--- call you ---," Jian Chen was speechless.

The emperor knew what Jian Chen meant, he stood up, squatted in front of Jian Chen, and said word by word, "Brother, don't blame my brother, just blame you for the wrong birth." Go ahead. ”

"Thank you--- Emperor Xie. Jian Chen's hands trembled, he picked up the bowl and swallowed a drop of the decoction into his stomach.

"Your Majesty, if --- --- Senior Brother comes to ---- to find the Emperor, the Emperor ----- only ---- ---- to hand over the ---- --- --- to him. He took out the wrench from his bosom, "Sue ----- tell him that ----- the life of the head of the -----, and he must not --- ----- hurt ---- hurt people's lives!"

After saying this intermittently, Jian Chen's consciousness gradually blurred, and he slowly fell down.

Seeing Jian Chen fall to the ground, the emperor was stunned.

Before you died, were you still thinking about protecting me?

The lights in the martial arts garden were bright, and Shangguan Yunrui and the others were still planning tomorrow's prisoner robbery.

"Enlighten the Alliance Master!" someone outside the door said, "There is a girl who asks to see you." ”

Girl?

Shangguan Yunrui looked at Yelu Wan'er beside him and frowned.

After rescuing Yelu Wan'er from the inn last time, she has been staying in the martial arts garden.

The two are like ordinary friends on weekdays, not talking about the past, not talking about the future, just getting along quietly.

There are no other girls who have anything to do with his life except Yelu Wan'er.

Which girl is it in the middle of the night?

Before Shangguan Yunrui could figure it out, a woman stumbled into the door outside the door.

Everyone present was shocked that the person who came turned out to be Princess Jinghua.

Jinghua's expression was abnormal, and when she saw Shangguan Yunrui, she rushed forward.

"Hurry up, go and help retrieve Jian Chen's body!"

What is it! Jinghua's words surprised everyone.

"Remains?" Shangguan Yunrui was shocked, "What are you talking about!"

"The imperial brother moved overnight and sent someone to poison Chen Jian, and now he sent someone to throw Chen Jian's body into the sea. You -- go quickly, or else -- otherwise. ”

"How is it possible, how is it possible?" Shangguan Yunrui involuntarily took a few steps back.

Damn, I only thought about robbing the prisoner tomorrow, but I didn't expect that the emperor would actually do it in advance.

"Alliance leader, don't mess around yet. Lu Lingyue said to Jinghua, "Please also ask the princess to lead the way." ”

Jinghua nodded, turned around and rushed out the door, and Shangguan Yunrui and his party hurriedly followed.

But they were still a step too late, and on the edge of the cliff, several guards threw a bag into the sea.

Shangguan Yunrui rushed over like crazy, but in the end he didn't catch it, and watched the bag fall straight into the sea.

A wave hit, and the bag was gone.

Shangguan Yunrui looked at the endless sea in a daze, and gradually clenched his fists.

He turned around, his eyes were full of blood, his gaze was fierce, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

"How dare you?" he waved his palms, and the guards on the edge of the cliff fell to the ground.

Shangguan Yunrui looked at the rough sea under the cliff, and no longer spoke, but turned around and jumped in the direction of the palace with light skills.

"Not good!" Lu Lingyue shouted.

"Princess, you go back to the palace first, and I'll go after the alliance leader. After Lu Lingyue finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after Shangguan Yunrui.

Jinghua watched the two of them disappear, and ran to the edge of the cliff alone, staring blankly at the darkness under the cliff.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, there are assassins!" a eunuch at the door hurriedly ran into the emperor's bedroom.

Shangguan Yunrui entered the palace gate in a grand manner, and when he encountered the officers and soldiers who were obstructed, he lifted them to the ground as soon as he raised his hand.

Soon, he came to the emperor's palace as if he had entered a no-man's land.

All the guards in the palace had already blocked the emperor's bedroom, surrounding the three outer layers of Shangguan Yunruili.

"If you don't want to die, give me a retreat!" Shangguan Yunrui looked fiercely at the Imperial Forest Army that surrounded him.

The surrounding officers and soldiers looked at Shangguan Yunrui, and they were a little hesitant to step forward.

"Stand down, all of you!" said the Emperor, who walked out of his chambers.

"Your Majesty, don't. The eunuchs behind him panicked.

"Shangguan Alliance Master, they just listen to my orders, don't hurt them anymore!" The emperor pushed aside everyone's obstacles and came to Shangguan Yunrui, "Please speak with me in the house." ”

Shangguan Yunrui saw that the emperor did not show a trace of panic at all about his arrival, and hesitated in his heart.

The emperor turned around and slowly walked towards his dormitory, and Shangguan Yunrui hesitated for a moment and followed in.

"You should know what I'm here for tonight. When Shangguan Yunrui arrived at the emperor's bedroom, he stared at him coldly.

"Of course I do. With the martial arts of the above official alliance masters, it is easy to take my life!" the emperor said lightly.

"You're not afraid!" Shangguan Yunrui suddenly calmed down.

"If I'm afraid, can the Shangguan Alliance Master let me go?" the emperor said.

"You are not even afraid of death, why do you have to kill Chen Jian for your royal family! He is your brother, your own brother!" Shangguan Yunrui said loudly.

"As the ruler of a nation, sometimes there is something that scares me more than death. Lu Qingsong is right, put it to death and live later, sometimes the emperor can't do things too kindly. A person's death can restore the stability of imperial power, and I have to do it. ”

"Is imperial power really so important? Let you disregard family affection and kill each other?" Shangguan Yunrui said bitterly.

"You reckless people don't understand this. The Emperor said.

"Yes, we don't understand these crazy people in your court who don't care about ethics and family affection, but we understand that killing people pays for their lives, and it's justified!" Shangguan Yunrui slowly raised his right hand.

The emperor saw Shangguan Yunrui's murderous aura rising and closed his eyes.

"You do it. ”

Shangguan Yunrui saw that the emperor did not hide, dodge, or call for help, but he suddenly couldn't do it.

Brother, don't ---

Shangguan Yunrui suddenly heard Jian Chen's voice.

He's my brother, my only brother, and you can't kill him.

Is it his own hallucination? Shangguan Yunrui shook his head and looked at it intently, there was silence around him, and there was no figure.

Yes, he killed Jian Chen, but after all, he is Jian Chen's relative, Jian Chen knows underground, would he want to kill him?

However, in the face of such a murderous person, I really wanted to kill him.

Shangguan Yun Ruiyang's hand in the air finally hung down weakly.

"I, Shangguan Yunrui, swear here today, my Martial Arts Court and the Imperial Court will be inseparable from now on, you'd better not let me find out what is wrong, otherwise our Martial Arts Yuan will definitely do the right thing for the sky!"

"Wait a minute!" the Emperor called out to him.

"Are you really not going to kill me?" the emperor still couldn't believe it.

"It's not Jian Chen's wish to kill you, I don't want him to die without turning a blind eye!" Shangguan Yunrui said with sadness.

"This is what Jian Chen gave to you before he died. The Emperor pulled the wrench from his bosom.

Shangguan Yunrui turned around and saw the wrench in the emperor's hand.

That's the token of the Ice Dance Gate, the token of the master.

Shangguan Yunrui took the wrench with a shudder.

You actually handed the wrench to the Emperor? Do you really ----

The only glimmer of hope in Shangguan Yunrui's heart was completely shattered, he thought that as long as Chen Jian's body was not found, he could tell himself that Chen Jian might still be alive, but now seeing the token of this master, Shangguan Yunrui was completely defeated.

Did you really just leave without even seeing me for the last time?

"What did he say?" Shangguan Yunrui looked at the wrench in his hand and said leisurely.

He said, "Ice Dance is in charge, don't hurt people's lives." ”

Do you know that I will definitely come to him for revenge, so before you die, you still want to protect this murderer who killed you?

The next emperor's words, Shangguan Yunrui couldn't listen to them at all.

He took the wrench and left the emperor's palace reluctantly.

Not long after Shangguan Yunrui left, Lu Qingsong hurriedly entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Jian Chen for his capital crimes!" As soon as Lu Qingsong entered the palace, he found that there seemed to be something unusual in the palace today, but he had no time to deal with it.

"Why should I forgive him for his capital crimes!" the emperor sat alone in the imperial study.

"Jian Chen has the gold medal given to him by the emperor to avoid death, which can avoid capital crimes. Lu Qingsong took out a sign from his arms and handed it over.

"Death-free gold medal?" the emperor muttered as he looked at the thing he had given to Jian Chen. "Death is dead, how can you avoid death?"

"The Emperor's -----"

"Jian Chen has been executed, and his body has been thrown into the sea, Lord Lu should go back!" the emperor said lightly.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would be beheaded tomorrow?" Lu Qingsong was shocked when he heard that Jian Chen had already been executed.

"I have made a decision, do I still have to explain it to you?" the emperor looked at Lu Qingsong with disdain.

"Your Majesty ----" Lu Qingsong was sad and indignant in his heart.

"Don't say much!" the emperor waved his hand, "Come on, send Lord Lu back to his house!"

"Your Majesty ----" Lu Qingsong was still about to speak, but he was held hostage by the guards.

Watching Lu Qingsong disappear into the imperial study, the emperor sat heavily on his dragon chair.

Under the dim yellow light, the emperor seemed to be much older.

His eyes lost their brightness, and his face was full of sadness and sadness.

And in his hand, he was still holding the death-free gold medal tightly.
