Please Kill the Demon

The flowers are late, and the splendor is falling.

The fate of the withered world is miserable.

A woman in a palace skirt sits quietly in the cold palace. The bustling and bustling Queen's bedroom now has no maids, and no one even lights a candle. When the sky is dark, shadows loom.

The emperor stepped into it slowly, every step was heavy. Anyway, he has been in the seventh realm for many years. Even if he can't concentrate on cultivation now, his body is far stronger than ordinary people. This was the first time he felt so tired physically.

Within a day, it was discovered that the two women he loved the most had ulterior motives. If it is just love for the concubine, he really regards the queen as his lifelong companion.

Unexpectedly, even she is fake.

Even standing opposite her at this moment, he couldn't recognize this face.

The queen's appearance is graceful and plump, but the woman in front of her has a thin and sharp appearance, and her facial features are very thin. To put it politely, she is not very good-looking.

I didn't know each other, and suddenly my thoughts surged.

Looking at her white clothes as old, her expression was a little frozen.

After a long while, he finally said: "You followed me when you were the prince. I was not in power at the time. How did you know that I would become the prince and then ascend the throne? If not, you followed the wrong person?"

"The Celestial Master can see everyone's fate." The most familiar stranger on the opposite side finally said, "You are destined to be the emperor, I knew it before you."

Before the emperor came, she was unwilling to confide even a word.

"So you are the one who is charming after all." The emperor took a deep breath and did not come out for a long time.

When Li Chengfeng said it just now, he still didn't want to believe it.

He didn't recognize this face, but the senior officials of Jian Guo Mansion did. Xiao Wuyan, who was personally arrested by the Supervisor of the State last time, returned to his original appearance when he was finally taken down, exactly the same as him.

Just now Li Chengfeng has personally gone to Tianbei Prison to check, Xiao Wuyan is still being held there. Even if the woman in front of her is not her, she must be closely related.

But even so, the emperor still had a glimmer of hope.

Until she said it herself.

If it's other sources, he still has hope of keeping her. If Yinghuo was born, there is no possibility of returning to the world.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to have kind thoughts towards your concubine. You can tell the outside world that the demon Yinghuo assassinated the queen, and then pretended to be her, and you caught and killed her after seeing through it." She shook her head and said, "It's just that Hai'er is Innocent, I have never told him half a word of the truth these years, I hope you can treat him as usual. Even if you don't let him succeed, don't..."

"Don't worry." The emperor interrupted her, "No matter who the mother is, he will always be my child."

The Haier she was talking about was naturally the second prince.

After a pause, the woman said, "Thank you."

The emperor asked again: "What is your real name?"

"Xiao Wuyin." The woman replied: "The Xiao Wuyan who was caught before is my twin sister."

"Both of you are good at making changes." The emperor sneered, as if he was a little tired from standing, he supported a chair next to him, and then sat down gently, "Tell me something about you."

"I..." Xiao Wuyin murmured, and said: "I was born as a daughter of the Xiao family. Since I was young, I was ready to practice the ancestral spirit fox illusion method. Until I was twelve years old, the Xiao family was destroyed. ...the Celestial Master rescued my two sisters."

She slowly recalled, from the time she was young until she joined Yinghuo, one thing after another, many of them had nothing to do with the imperial court. But the emperor still listened quietly, not feeling impatient.

"That year, the Heavenly Master suddenly said that there is an important task that we sisters must have one person to do, and it may take many years to be free." Xiao Wuyin continued, "I am the elder sister, so naturally I will take the lead."

"In any case, I never thought that this matter is to replace the daughter of the Wu family and marry the current prince."

"Since the palace chaos eighty years ago, the court has strictly censored people who enter and leave the palace. At that time, you had already opened a mansion and built a government office, which was easier to infiltrate than entering the palace."

"The Celestial Master said to set up a long-term game."

"Heh." The emperor smiled again, "It's really deliberate."

"I spent a few months secretly observing that woman from the Wu family, and then replaced her the day before she married you, and became your wife ever since. The Heavenly Master just let me live with peace of mind first, and hardly assigned me For anything, I will only come to me once in a few years, and only my sister will contact me."

"My life suddenly calmed down."

"Over the past few decades, I have really been about to forget my identity. When I wake up many times, I will think that I am really the queen of the dynasty." When she said this, she smiled wryly.

"It wasn't until three years ago that the Celestial Master ordered me to arrange for someone to enter the palace, that I realized that my identity would be shady after all. I almost wanted to refuse at the time, but my sister, my identity... these things are all in the palace. In their hands, I dare not. I have been in charge of the harem for many years, so it is naturally easy to let a woman in."

"Gong Yu'er?" the emperor asked.

"That's right, you really fell in love with her right away." Xiao Wuyin raised her eyes, "The Celestial Master asked me to create the illusion of a palace fight, and everyone thought we were at odds. It's just Yinghuo's pawn."

The emperor put his hand on his forehead, which seemed a bit unacceptable.

"After that, they repeatedly targeted the Wu family. In fact, they wanted to confuse the court and make you think that Yingzhuo was trying to weaken the power of the Wu family and me. This would only strengthen my position."

"It's very effective." The emperor said: "If it weren't for this stupid move, you would have succeeded."

"Stupid tricks?" Xiao Wuyin smiled again when he heard the words, "Fairy masters don't have stupid tricks. The reason why these things happened today is because I and them are not of the same mind."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at her again.

"I have been struggling since my sister was caught last time." Xiao Wuyin looked at the dome of the palace, slightly lost in thought, "I have lived in the palace for a lot longer than in Yinghuo. The only thing I care about is my sister, but she went to Tianbei Prison. I still help them, why?"

She looked at the emperor again: "And my relationship with your husband and wife, for so many years...is not fake."

The emperor silently moved his gaze elsewhere.

"The Celestial Master has been laying out the plan for many years, and when it was finally time to launch it, he began to contact me frequently, and the person who passed the news to me was replaced by the concubine Gong. But I have a lot of eyeliners in the palace, and I knew that Yingzhuo sent her the message if I paid a little attention. channels of information."

"I once wanted to kill the concubine and become a real empress from now on, and no longer have any contact with the charming people." Xiao Wuyin said again: "But on that day, I received a letter from the celestial master, Tell me to get ready to destroy something."

"Afterwards, the body of the real daughter of the Wu family was dug out from the bottom of the lake. They have kept this body for so many years, which makes me horrified. The Heavenly Master is demonstrating to me. As long as he thinks, he will still It can easily destroy me."

"These days I have helped them place a lot of people into the palace. Although they didn't notify me, I learned from the concubine that there will be a big plan to be launched at the Qinghong Banquet, and this plan...includes The Assassin King kills him."

"So you killed her and threw her body in Qinghongyuan, hoping to prevent this banquet?" the emperor asked.

Things can already be guessed at this point.

"That's right." Xiao Wuyin admitted, "I don't dare to explain to you. I can only use this method to stop the Qinghong Banquet, and then lead to a thorough investigation of the palace. I can take advantage of the opportunity to clean up all the people that Yinghuo placed."

"You still want to protect me?" The emperor's tone seemed a little mocking.

"I can't tell whether I want to protect you or protect myself." Xiao Wuyin sighed, "But the world is like this. It's not always possible for a person to think clearly about the reason for doing something."

"If according to your plan, the concubine was discovered before Qinghong's banquet, the banquet was stopped, and then the palace was thoroughly investigated..." The emperor pondered: "It might not be a good ending."

"It's a pity..." Xiao Wuyin said, "I still can't think of some things."

In any case, she never imagined that the guardian of the royal family would take his daughter to Qinghongyuan to steal chickens on this day, and found the corpse in advance... She also never imagined that the apprentice of that daughter only took more than an hour to find the chicken in Qinghongyuan. When the clues were almost cut off, it was associated with her.

"Without Chu Liang, maybe this matter would have passed like this," said the emperor.

"He is also part of the miscalculation in the Celestial Master's plan." Xiao Wuyin said: "In his prediction, the people who entered the palace at this time should have been the men and horses of the Penglai Shangzong, and the person who Jinlong found should be Yang. Shenlong."

"Can't he see everyone's fate?" The emperor sneered.

"Maybe... not anyone can see clearly at any time, right?" Xiao Wuyin also laughed at herself, and said, "For example, me, didn't he calculate accurately?"

"If everything went according to his expectations, then the world would have been his for a long time, and they would not have failed eighty years ago." The emperor said coldly.

"Perhaps, he claims to count people's hearts, but he can't count people's feelings after all." Xiao Wuyin also said.

A long silence followed.

The two of them just sat on a chair and the other sat on the ground, relatively silent until the sound of drums sounded in the distance.

"The Qinghong Banquet is about to begin." The emperor stood up, "Mei...heh, what should I call you?"

"Call me Xiao Wuyin." The woman smiled sadly, "The daughter of our Xiao family was born with no sound and no face... She can't have everything of her own, and she lives with someone else's voice..."

"It's over and I want to be myself."

"Okay." The emperor nodded in agreement, and then said: "Xiao Wuyin, I will let people verify everything you said. If you didn't lie to me, I will give you a chance to meet your sister .”

Xiao Wuyin also stood up, walked forward, adjusted the neckline and sleeves of the dragon robe for him as usual, and said softly: "The minister and concubine are in poverty, and we will not be able to accompany you from now on. There will be dangers in the future, and I only wish your Majesty to be safe." .”
