Wishful Things

While speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked at the hidden guard who was kneeling on the ground: "Speak! Why did it fail? Didn't I promise that the plan would be foolproof?"

The hidden guard put his head firmly on the gold brick, and said in a trembling voice: "Return to Your Majesty... If everything is according to the plan, there will be no such a mistake... But King Yan was prepared for a long time, deliberately confusing our sight , Created the illusion of being in the carriage! With this, I lured out the most skilled people on this trip, and took the opportunity to shoot and kill them..."

King Yan's skills are so extraordinary that ordinary people can't get close, so they specially selected three top experts this time.

But those three people were the first to die under King Yan's arrow!

In this way, the next offensive is destined to be much more blunt.

Emperor Qingming let out a weird laugh: "Have you been prepared?"

His second brother...had long expected that he would do something?

"That's right...and those personal servants of King Yan's Mansion, even though some may seem ordinary, are actually elites, and even the grooms who drive the carriages are also disguised by masters!"

"..." Emperor Qingming's face turned bluer.

This defense is earlier than he imagined...

The dark guard continued: "And at the back, when there was still a chance to succeed, a group of Xu Jiajun suddenly came and stepped in!"

"What?"

Emperor Qingming's face became extremely cold in an instant: "Xu Jiajun?"

Xu Qiwei is not in the capital, who can send Xu Jiajun down? !

"It is said that I happened to be passing by here... to escort a group of thieves into the city..." Sensing the chill in the emperor's tone, the voice of the hidden guard lowered again.

Coincidentally?

Emperor Qingming's voice suddenly softened, and he said with a sneer: "...Xu Qiwei is clearly not in the capital, but he can actually hinder me. It's really haunting."

As he said that, he looked at Xia Tingzhen: "Teacher... do the math, is it almost time for me to get back Xu Jiajun's soldier talisman?"

Looking at the emperor's moody eyes, Xia Tingzhen said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I believe there will be good news in the near future. At that time, it will be a breeze to get rid of King Yan."

He had previously advised His Majesty not to worry.

However, His Majesty was too jealous of King Yan, as if he had been suffering from mental illness for too long and became a demon, so he couldn't deal with it calmly.

If the assassination fails this time, King Yan will definitely take precautions.

Fortunately, Duke Zhen has already arranged everything in advance...

Otherwise, relying on His Majesty's current appearance like a headless chicken, trying to decide the situation is tantamount to nonsense.

Xia Tingzhen was contemptuous from the bottom of her heart, but she never showed it on her face.

Hearing Xia Tingzhen's words, Emperor Qingming let out a breath of turbid air slowly, and felt a little settled in his heart, but when he thought of King Yan's face, his heart suddenly became irritable.

With a sullen face, he suddenly pulled out the long sword hanging by the screen, swiped it and slashed at the hidden guard who was kneeling on the ground.

This sword landed on the shoulder of the dark guard, who wanted to hide but did not dare to dodge, begging for mercy in fear.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

One sword after another, until the dark guard fell into a pool of blood with his eyes wide open, and there was no more movement of trying to struggle.

With a "bang", Emperor Qingming threw the sword at his feet.

Blood splashed onto Xia Tingzhen's shoes, making him frown slightly.

The corpse was quickly taken down, and the little eunuch on duty outside the imperial study looked ashen, but repeated several times in his lowered eyes.

As the sky gradually darkened, the little eunuch left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and on the way back to his residence, he just walked with his head down, and accidentally bumped into a palace lady.

This unusual scene has never been noticed by anyone.

Gong'e returned to Yukun Palace and handed a note to the queen.

The queen pursed her lips tightly.

The dog emperor is really going crazy...

She got some rumors before, although she was not sure, she still sent a letter, asking King Yan to take precautions, and now it seems that she was right.

In addition, this note also mentioned a little...

Emperor Dog and Xia Tingzhen also mentioned her elder sister's death, and there was obviously something else going on between their words...

The queen held the note tightly in her hand, with a cold look in her eyes.

She entered the palace back then for the sake of family stability. Although her father was unwilling to force her, as a daughter of the Wu family, she had some responsibilities that could not be shirked—and apart from responsibilities, another purpose of her entry into the palace was to want Find out the truth about Sister's death.

But after many years, all the relevant people and things she could think of had long since disappeared.

But this does not prevent her from stepping closer to the truth.

The dog emperor was the most suspected of what happened back then, combined with her understanding of the dog emperor over the years, combined with many past events, the answer is almost ready to come out.

At this time, if it was said that the death of her elder sister had nothing to do with Emperor Dog, she would not believe a word.

The queen lit the note on the candlestick and threw it into the incense burner.

As long as she is still in this palace for a day, her responsibility will still be on her shoulders.

In the current situation, everyone is just a drop in the ocean, she has a lot to do, and there may be very little she can do. It should be noted that some people spend their entire lives at the expense of their lives, or are doing so-called useless work.

But until the last moment, no one can say whether it was useless or not.

The queen looked at the flickering candles, and gradually lost her mind.

She still remembered that when she was young, she read the "Lianhua Sutra" together with him, and he copied a line of it with a pen. All lights, until all lights are bright.

This is a sentence she has always kept in mind.

She doesn't have much ability, and she is not the first to light the lamp.

But as one of the thousands of people who pass on the lamp, try your best to protect the lamp in your hand, and you can still do it.

If one day, when the darkness is completely removed, the lamp she is holding may not be conspicuous at all, but there is no need to be conspicuous.

I just don't know if she will burn out with the lamp in her hand by then.

The candlelight was reflected in her eyes, and there was no flinching or regret in her eyes, but if she really wanted to say something, occasionally, there would be a little bit of regret...

Especially when I didn't even say goodbye to him...

Thinking about it later, that kind of behavior is really not meaningful.

Huamao ran over at some point and rubbed the corner of her skirt.

The queen picked it up with a smile.

"Tianfu...let's read a book with Bengong, okay?"

The queen sat down on the couch with the cat in her arms, and said softly.

...

The rain in the middle of the capital was pattering, stopped and fell, until three days later, it didn't clear up.

That night, Xu Mingyi woke up from a nightmare.

"grandfather!"

She opened her eyes suddenly, and even looked left and right in a panic. The surroundings were dark and chaotic. She lifted the thin quilt and pushed aside the jade green gauze curtain.

Ah Zhu from outside heard the movement and walked in quickly.

"girl."

Ah Zhu lit the lamp, and saw her girl sitting barefoot by the bed, her face as white as jade was covered with cold sweat, so she walked over, squatted down, and asked softly, "Miss, have you had a nightmare?"

good night everyone~
