After exhausting myself to death

He Zhang looked at Shen Minghuan coldly: "If the ancestors of the Shen family knew anything about it, they would be ashamed of you."

"What's going on with my Shen family, I don't need to bother General, let alone..." Shen Ming laughed happily, "If people can really know the world after death, General is now in a high position and has been entrusted with important responsibilities by His Majesty. Your Majesty will regard you as your proud?"

He Zhang turned pale instantly.

The emperor understood the implication of Shen Minghuan's words. He was very face-conscious, so he couldn't bear to be ridiculed in person, but He Zhang actually showed his approval.

Is it embarrassing to work for him?

The emperor dared not speak out when he was angry. No one is not afraid of death, he is also a human being.

Shen Minghuan waved, and several soldiers outside the palace trotted up behind him and lowered their heads to obey orders.

Shen Minghuan raised his chin at the emperor and He Zhang, which was a very impolite gesture. He acted extremely dignified.

"You see clearly, they are not Kou people." Shen Minghuan said quietly: "They are the people of Daqi who died in Mengshan because of your words, Your Majesty."

There is no such thing as strange power and chaos in the world. The emperor knew that Shen Minghuan was deliberately trying to scare him, but he also felt a chill behind him for no reason.

The people of Kou and Qi Dynasty are born with differences in appearance. The people of Daqi have eyes as dark as night, while the pupils of Kou people have different colors, but they are not black.

He Zhangzi looked at it carefully, turned away and said nothing.

He Zhang had also heard Shen Minghuan's name countless times, when the world praised this man for his close friendship with the prince.

He still harbored his childhood dream of punishing evil, promoting good, and upholding justice, but the emperor could not satisfy his dream.

The prince and Shen Minghuan, wise kings, wise ministers, and sweethearts, were exactly what he longed for most.

So he hated Shen Minghuan very much later. Why did the king's heart not change, but the virtuous minister turned into an adulterer?

Even now that he knew that he had misunderstood him and said bad words to him many times, He Zhang still refused to give him a good look, let alone apologize.

"You have put all your efforts just for Luo Xiuqi, right?" The emperor looked puzzled, but still said in a compromised tone: "Shen Che, if you step back now, I will make Xiuqi the crown prince."

Shen Minghuan said casually: "I'm not stupid. Didn't Your Majesty make such a promise to General Gu before?"

He turned to the soldiers beside him and ordered: "Go and invite the second prince over, and tell him that I will 'send' him home."

He had a faint smile when he spoke, and his eyebrows were curved, as if he had endless tenderness.

He Zhang was slightly startled, looked at Shen Minghuan, and then lowered his head.

I thought to myself that this man was good at everything except being blind. How could the second prince deserve his allegiance to him?

He Zhang refused to admit that he was actually a little envious. He had been lonely all his life. After his parents passed away, no one cared about him anymore.

Fate had never been gentle to him, let alone the world.

"Do you still want to force me to abdicate? How dare you!" The emperor pushed the ornaments on his hand to the ground and shouted inwardly.

Shen Minghuan looked around nonchalantly and sat on the chair next to him.

He was already at the bottom of the steps. After sitting down, the emperor looked down at him even more.

To the uninformed, this picture would inevitably seem a bit strange. The people at the top looked embarrassed, while the people sitting at the bottom looked domineering, which made people doubt the status of the two.

The soldiers who had just taken the order to retreat caught and rescued the second prince from nowhere.

In just half a day, the second prince became much more haggard and his eyes were full of panic. But he seemed to be physically unscathed, well-dressed, and had no wounds.

The second prince was dragged... helped into the palace. Shen Minghuan exaggeratedly covered his chest, showing a very distressed expression, as if Luo Xiuqi was dying and was about to die soon, "Your Highness, you have suffered."

He Zhang: "..." Something seems wrong?

Shen Minghuan said this, but he sat as straight as a clock and didn't even move.

"Sir." Luo Xiuqi didn't feel anything was wrong. He was moved and said with tears in his eyes: "I knew you would come."

Before He Zhang found evidence that Luo Xiuqi was colluding with the Kou State, the emperor had no intention of taking action against him.

Luo Xiuqi was served in the side hall with good food and drink. He was so depressed and depressed because he was simply scaring himself.

Luo Xiuqi couldn't resist the deep sleepiness in the second half of the night, and struggled into a dream.

In the dream, there was a lifelike picture scroll, which was quietly placed on the desk, waiting for the inspection of the prince and grand master Qu Zhengcheng in the afternoon.

The warm sun in the early morning casts sparkling golden light, making the painting even more magical.

As a child, Luo Xiuqi carefully crossed the threshold and approached tiptoe.

Then he picked up the scroll and tore it up without hesitation, feeling guilty and happy, as if it was not the painting he was tearing up, but the owner of the painting.

He raised his head and unexpectedly looked into the eyes of a person outside the window.

——Luo Dan looked at him coldly, expressionless, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Luo Xiuqi was so frightened that he couldn't breathe for a moment, and almost thought he was going to die. At this time, there were footsteps at the door, and he heard his eldest brother ask softly: "Xiu Qi, what are you doing here?"

"I..." Luo Xiuqi's back was already wet with cold sweat. He still had evidence of guilt in his hand, so he really couldn't excuse himself.

Luo Xiuyuan clearly saw the torn scroll, but his eyes only paused for a moment, and then moved away lightly, "I know that Xiu Qi didn't do it on purpose, right?"

"I..." Luo Xiuqi could still only utter this word. He turned his head to look in fear, only to find that Luo Dan's expression had changed.

Luo Dan said with a smile, "Yuan'er."

Like an ordinary loving father, he loves his children very much.

Although Luo Xiuqi in the dream was a little sad because of this different treatment, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the dream did not end. The white mist filled the air and dispersed. Luo Xiuqi felt that he and Luo Xiuyuan beside him had become what they would be when they grew up.

He reflexively looked out the window and saw the expression on Luo Dan's face changing, with fierceness and kindness intertwined.

Luo Xiuqi blinked and took a closer look. Where was Luo Dan? Outside the window was clearly——

Shen Minghuan's face!

Luo Xiuqi woke up from his dream with a loud cry, and he was still frightened until now.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to forget the horrifying scene, and said a little aggrievedly: "Sir, you are here."

"Well, I'm here." Shen Minghuan let out a long sigh and said with regret: "Unfortunately, I came too late. His Royal Highness Prince Rui has already passed away at the hands of His Majesty."

"Ah?" Luo Xiuqi hadn't reacted yet, "Sir, I didn't, I'm still alive."

Shen Minghuan glanced at him lovingly.

The soldier next to him pulled out the sword from his waist with a "swish" sound and swiped it across Luo Xiuqi's neck very quickly.

Blood spurted out, and Luo Xiuqi saw the bright red splattered on the ground, and then he realized the pain.

Before he realized what had happened, he raised his hand blankly to cover the wound on his neck, but found that he could not lift his arm.

He lowered his head slightly and saw himself falling softly.

"..." He finally realized that he was going to die. The fear of dying and the longing for survival forced him to call for help with all his strength.

But the hoarse voice he imagined was actually too weak to be heard.

At the last moment of his life, Luo Xiuqi remembered his dream.

Shen Minghuan's smiling face outside the window became clearer and clearer. He and Luo Xiu looked at each other from a distance, and no one could question their friendship.

——The person who prefers Luo Xiuyuan is always there, but it's not Luo Dan.

"Shen Minghuan... you... bastard..." Luo Xiuqi's lips wriggled and he closed his eyes unwillingly.

He Zhang: "!!!"

No wonder Shen Minghuan was talking about "sending" the second prince home.

"Oops." Shen Minghuan said painfully: "Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds. Your Majesty, you are so cruel."

His painful expression did not last for three seconds, and he quickly put on a righteous posture: "Prince Rui is our lord. He is dead, and we cannot remain indifferent!"

After speaking, he glanced at the soldier who had just killed Luo Xiuqi and motioned for him to follow suit.

The soldier was silent, hid the blood-stained sword behind his back, and said dryly: "No, that's right, we want to avenge King Rui."

Shen Ming was satisfied: "Chen Xiaoyu, you always do what I want."

Chen Xiaoyu: "...As long as the Lord is sincere."

"Don't you think so little of me?" Seeing Shen Minghuan kill Luo Xiuqi so simply, the emperor's expression became even calmer, "I'm not dead yet."

Shen Minghuan said with a smile: "It's unlucky to be immortal. Your Majesty, as long as you write a Zen edict, I will ensure that you die in peace, how about it?"

"What if I don't write it?" The emperor stretched out his hand to brush away He Zhang who was trying to block him, and asked calmly.

Shen Minghuan took the long knife from Chen Xiaoyu's hand, shook off the blood on it with disgust, and said regretfully: "Then I can only avenge the second prince."

"Hahaha——" The emperor suddenly laughed. He stood up and said proudly: "I am the emperor, and the only person in the world who is qualified to kill me is myself!"

In full view of everyone, he handed a wooden box next to the table to He Zhang, "This is the jade seal. Protect it and rush out, hand it to Xiu Yuan, and say, I said, from now on, he will be the Great Seal." Lord of Qi.”

With He Zhang's skill, the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement with Yuxi alone is small, but not impossible.

Anyway, it won't be worse than the current situation.

As for He Zhang’s safety? Even in this situation, even though he briefly believed in He Zhang's loyalty, the emperor still did not take him seriously.

He is just a minister, and it is his duty to go through fire and water, to sacrifice his life for him.

"Shen Minghuan, you want to inherit the throne legitimately, but I won't let you do it! If you have the ability, kill everyone present, including Luo Xiuyuan and the ministers who have doubts about this matter. But in that way, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. What's the difference?"

The emperor took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve and stared at Shen Minghuan resentfully: "I curse you, my today is your tomorrow!"

Shen Minghuan ignored it. He proudly said to the system: "Xiaojiu, look, it's the emperor's approval." ]

The system was stunned for a moment before realizing that what this person was talking about was that in the original plot, near the finale, Luo Dan finally understood the goodness of his eldest son Luo Xiuyuan and decided to give him the throne.

[Ah this...] The system is very hesitant. Does this count as restoring the plot?

He Zhang protected the wooden box over his heart with one hand, and tried to grab the medicine bottle with the other: "Your Majesty, no."

The emperor took a step back and avoided his hand, "He Zhang, obey my order! Get out, get out!"

"What a master-servant love." Shen Minghuan sneered and waved, and then several soldiers attacked He Zhang and snatched the small wooden box.

Shen Minghuan watched with interest as he struggled to parry, "General He, I am in need of talents like you. Give me the jade seal, and I will let you choose the glory, wealth, power and status. How about it? His Majesty didn't even give it to you. This kind of treatment.”

"Shen Che, treacherous ministers and traitors, you are dreaming." He Zhang grabbed a knife. With the weapon in his hand, it was finally not so dwarfed by him.

The emperor opened the medicine bottle and said, "Shen Minghuan, stop dreaming, you..."

The medicine bottle fell to the ground, and the dark pills rolled out. The emperor stared at the sharp blade in front of his chest with wide eyes, staggered back two steps, and then fell down, completely losing his voice.

Shen Minghuan let go of the hand holding the knife and let it pierce the emperor's heart. He rubbed his ears and said, "It's so noisy and talks so much."

"Your Majesty!" He Zhang shouted.

The emperor was dead, but he had no scruples and forced his way out at the cost of being chopped several times.

Before leaving, he glared at Shen Minghuan and said, "Shen Che, I will kill you."

Chen Xiaoyu was so angry at these words: "Master, why do you let him go?"

If Shen Minghuan hadn't given the order in advance, how could He Zhang have the ability to stand out from the encirclement?

"Chen Xiaoyu, don't get excited." Shen Minghuan nodded seriously, "I regret it too, let's go after him now."

"Yes, my subordinate, go right away!"

Chen Xiaoyu excitedly went to capture this man who was disrespectful to his lord and cut him into eighteen pieces. As soon as he took two steps, he hesitated and turned around: "My lord, are you kidding me again?"
