Harue Kagetsu - Chapter 114

Father soon left.

Luoshen looked at his dignified back as he hurried away, but there was still the look in his eyes when he had just read the letter a moment ago.

At that time, his face was blue, and his eyes froze on the piece of paper in his hand.

He stared at the letter, not so much shock, but disappointment, extreme disappointment.

Luoshen even had a feeling that some kind of light in his father’s eyes was extinguished at that moment.

This thin piece of paper and the words on it, just as she wished, confirmed her original suspicion. At this moment, she should have felt relieved.

But she didn’t feel the slightest sense of relief.

Because of her father’s reaction, she even felt sad in her heart.

Those ghosts and ghosts, who are dressed in hypocritical and innocent, or sanctimonious faces, revel in the carnival under the sun and dance gracefully. And those who are really willing to do something for this turbulent court and country, not only move forward with a heavy load and walk with difficulty, but also always beware of the disguise and deception hidden in the darkness that will come out at no time.

The imperial city of Jiankang is full of endless conspiracies and betrayals that cannot be prevented.

Suddenly, this sentence sounded in my ears.

She remembered.

This is what her husband Li Mu once said to her that night.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.

Luo Shen raised his eyes and saw his mother coming.

“Auntie!”

Luoshen hurried to meet her and supported her.

“You Aye left?” Xiao Yongjia asked.

Luoshen glanced at Aju, who was walking with her, and knew that she should have told her mother what happened, and nodded, “Aye has left the city. I told her not to leak the news.”

Xiao Yongjia sat down slowly.

Luoshen saw that her face was tired, and there were faint cyan bruises under her eyes, and persuaded: “Auntie, you can rest assured to sleep. Aye is only grateful for his old kindness to that Shaw Brothers, and has no other intentions. Knowing that Shaw is under the command of King Xin’an, she will not listen to her rhetoric any more.”

Xiao Yongjia shook his head.

“Ami, do you think A-Niang is still worried that your Aye is interested in this woman? He didn’t care when he was young, let alone now. It’s just that A-Niang was ignorant in the past and didn’t handle good things, which caused hatred and calamity to this day. Mother is only worried that you, Aye, are too nostalgic, and if you are deceived by others, you will cause trouble.”

“This time, you did a good job. That green lady, who used to testify on behalf of Jingchen, has helped a lot now, and I will thank her well in the future.”

Luo Shen said, “I know.”

Xiao Yongjia pondered.

“And that Tao, is there anyone around her? Shao’s back this trip, he was very careful, and he must be careful everywhere. If she knows that Shao Fengzhi has leaked the news, I’m afraid she will be detrimental to others.”

“Ma’am, don’t worry. When Lu Niang arranged for her to go there, she borrowed someone from Li Duwei with my handwriting, and stayed there in case of an accident. Besides, Aye will also ask her to ask questions tonight. When it’s over, I’ll send her back to the city.”

Xiao Yongjia nodded. After a moment of ecstasy, he said slowly, “Jiankang tonight, maybe something will go wrong. Tell Gao Qi to wake everyone up, don’t go to sleep. Close the door, take the good guy, just in case.”

…

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is no one in the four fields.

Shao Fengzhi walked for a few miles, quietly returned to A Tao’s residence, and wandered around for a while.

It was pitch black all around, and half a person could not be seen. The people in the house in the courtyard must also be asleep at the moment.

Shao Yuniang forced him to kill A Tao to avoid future troubles.

After killing Ah Tao, in order to avoid being dragged out, the servants who had seen him would naturally also be killed.

It is not difficult for Shao Fengzhi to deal with these people, an old man and a few women.

But after killing so many people in one go, he still can’t let the government find him. The safest way is to kill people first and then set fire to them, making people think that this whole family died in an accidental fire tonight.

After hesitating for a while, he finally opened the door.

As if she had just woken up from her sleep, Ah Tao went out of the room to greet him, sleepy-eyed, yawned, and asked him why he left and came back.

Shao Fengzhi glanced at the leftover wine in the house, told the maid to go down, and closed the door.

“Aren’t you complaining that I didn’t spend the whole night with you? My sister fell asleep. I really miss you, so I just came back and accompany you tonight.”

As he said that, he picked up the person and put it on the bed. He took out a handkerchief wrapped in something in his arms, handed it over with a smile, and said, “Look, I gave you something good.”

Ah Tao took it, opened the veil, and saw a jade bracelet with a whole body wrapped in it, she said, “Is it really for me?”

“Excellent Qiongyu. Try it out and see if your wrists fit together?”

Shao Fengzhi urged her.

Ah Tao smiled brightly, picked up the jade bracelet, lit it at the fire on the candlestick, admired the color of the bracelet, and said in her mouth, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, I heard before that some people use worthless minshi to coax people and say what? It’s worth a thousand pieces of gold, isn’t it just bullying people who don’t know the goods? You say, if you can’t take it out, it’s too immoral to take a broken stone carving and pretend to be a ragged one…”

Shao Fengzhi stared at her back, his mouth was vaguely attached, his heart was up and down, and the two cold eyes that Shao Yuniang was staring at her suddenly passed in front of her eyes. Zhang Ruzuo was about to grab her neck from behind, when he suddenly saw her turn his head, he was startled, his hands could not be retracted for a while, and they were frozen in the air.

“What are you doing?”

Ah Tao glanced at the two claw-like hands that he stretched out towards her, but held it abruptly, and asked with a smile.

Shao Fengzhi had an embarrassed look on his face, and hurriedly retracted his claws.

“What else can I do, don’t I want to hug you–hurry up and give me a hug, I just wanted to die after being separated for so long-“

Saying that, he smiled and wanted to hug her.

Ah Tao covered her mouth and smiled, suddenly pointed behind him, and said, “Look, there are people behind.”

Shao Fengyi was stunned and turned back subconsciously.

It was empty behind and no one was seen. Just as he was about to turn his head, there was a “hum” sound in his ear, followed by a sharp pain in the back of his head, as if someone had hit him with a sap, he turned around suddenly, and saw that Ah Tao was holding the candlestick in his hand, and the corner of the base seemed to be stained with darkness. red color.

Shao Fengzhi calmed down, raised his hand and touched the back of his head, there was blood in the palm of his hand.

His eyes widened in anger, and A Tao looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly showed a fierce light, bent down, pulled a dagger from his boot, and stabbed at her.

Ah Tao quickly backed away, stretched out her hand and pulled a rope on the wall, a bell rang outside, and before the sound fell, the door was kicked open with a bang.

Shao Fengzhi turned his head and was surprised to see two Confucius Wuhan sons rushing in, one left and one right, rushing towards him.

The two of them were extremely agile and ruthless. Before Shao Fengzhi had time to react, they were already pressed to the ground, their arms were twisted back, their joints seemed to be broken, and the pain was unbearable. With a scream, the dagger came out. .

Ah Tao put the jade bracelet on her wrist, straightened her messy sideburns, and then walked in a curling way.

“Anyway, it was a good time. I just reminded you clearly that there is someone behind you, but you don’t believe it. If you don’t, you will suffer a loss if you turn around. Forget it, don’t blame me if you are ruthless. After he finished speaking, he put his hands on his hips and kicked Shao Fengzhi on the ground fiercely. Then he looked at the two of them and said with a tender smile, “Thanks to the two brothers for being alert, they saved my life. Next time you are free, remember to find me.” , I’ll sing to my brother, I don’t want your money.”

These two are Li Xie’s subordinates. One of them is the master who feeds the whole family and is not hungry. He usually kills and sets fires without blinking an eye. These days, they were sent here to protect Ah Tao. With nothing to hide in the firewood room, Shao Fengzhi came to meet Ah Tao, and he stayed outside, agreeing to draw a rope and ring a bell to represent danger.

In the past few days, I haven’t heard the bell, but I have heard a lot of affectionate voices from the house. Seeing her like this at this moment, her face is red, how dare you look at it, and it knocks Shao out three or two times. Feng Zhi, dragged the person out, tied him up, locked him in the firewood room, and waited for the report in the morning.

Shao Fengzhi woke up from his coma, and when he recalled what he had just done, he finally realized that he should have fallen into a well-designed trap. ? Just when I was panicking, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside.

The door of the firewood room was opened, and a person stood at the door.

Shao Fengzhi raised his head, and by the light of the fire sticks held in the hands of the entourage outside the door, he could clearly see that it was a middle-aged man with clear eyes and an elegant appearance, but his eyes were extremely stern, falling on him.

Gao Qiao is here so soon!

“It’s him! He said that his elder sister was the confidant of King Xin’an, and just wanted to come back and kill me!”

A Tao came out to identify.

Shao Fengzhi’s heart died in an instant, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept begging for his life.

…

Gao Qiao rushed to the place where Shao Yuniang was recuperating. When he arrived, he saw that the door was closed and it was dark, so he ordered someone to break in.

The old woman was lying on the ground and did not dare to raise her head. Shao Yuniang seemed to have just woken up from her sleep. She struggled to sit up from the bed, weak and looked at Gao Qiao timidly.

Gao Qiao ordered someone to bring Shao Fengzhi in, and said coldly, “Shao Shi, you first colluded with King Xin’an and pretended to be imprisoned to deceive me. Tonight, this good brother of yours wants to kill and silence, you also ordered it?”

Shao Fengzhi shivered and knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Shao Yuniang.

Shao Yuniang’s face was pale, and she stared at Gao Qiao with an angry face, without saying a word for a long time.

“Shaw Brothers, King Xin’an and you have deliberated and plotted against me. What do you want to do?”

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Gao Qiao was furious and drew his sword to point at her.

Two lines of tears rolled down from Shao Yuniang’s eyes. She struggled from the bed, climbed down, knelt on the ground, and sobbed: “Gao Xianggong, I plead guilty! The previous imprisonment was indeed intentional, and I ordered my brother to kill tonight. But I really forced me to do so. Yu Helpless! I was forced by King Xin’an!”

“Half a year ago, the imperial court banned me from staying in Jiankang. When I wanted to leave, King Xin’an came over, threatening my sister and brother’s life, and asked me to obey him. I was imprisoned and had to see my husband. It’s all arranged by King Xin’an! He has given strict orders before, and he is not allowed to tell outsiders that I obey him, otherwise, I will be told to die without a place to be buried. King Xin’an is ruthless and can do anything. Let him know, my brother-in-law will definitely die. I’m really scared and forced to kill him tonight…”

She wept bitterly and kept kowtowing: “It’s all my fault, it has nothing to do with my younger brother. If you want to kill Xianggong Gao, kill me! Please look at the feelings of the past and take pity on my hardships these years. Forgive my brother. In the future, I will change my mind and I will never dare to do these sins again…”

Gao Qiao’s eyes were red and he gritted his teeth.

“Shaw Brothers, do you still know that you have committed sins? What you did in the past can still be excused because you were in the teaching and couldn’t help yourself. Up to now, you have made mistakes again and again, and you have committed many crimes! It’s me, Gao Qiao, who is fond of you, and the laws of the state are also intolerant!”

Shao Yuniang raised her face slowly, looked at Gao Qiao, and said with tears in her eyes: “Gao Xianggong, what you said is true. I was fortunate enough to know you back then and was brought back to Jiankang. It was a slave and a maid, and it was also my blessing. But I was confused for a while and did something wrong. At that time, I was dead, and I deserved it. I was lucky to escape, and I was trapped in the mud and I couldn’t help myself, and I have endured the humiliation to this day…”

“My parents died early, and the family is helpless. For many years, I have lived with my brother. I was so threatened by King Xin’an that day that even the head of the school obeyed him. I am a weak woman, what can I do? I also thought about it at the time, where to go Xianggong asked for help, but I was afraid that the eldest princess would be misunderstood and suspected again. If I provoke your husband and wife into discord again, how would I handle myself? I really dare not, I have no choice but to do what he ordered…”

“Why does King Xin’an want you to plot? You still haven’t invited it!”

Gao Qiao interrupted her words and shouted sharply.

“I wanted to tell Xianggong for a long time, but I used to be too afraid of them. Today I’m not afraid anymore, I’ll say it all! I have been teaching in Tianshi for many years, and I know some secret activities of Tianshi. King Xin’an and Tianshi have always come and gone. On the surface, he seems to be following the teaching, but in fact he secretly controlled the Tianshi teaching. He ordered the head of the teaching, Wu Cang, to develop the teaching community and secretly store weapons to help him in the future. King Xin’an forced me to deceive Gao Xianggong, and the purpose is also to gain your trust, so that I can be placed by your side, waiting for the opportunity, so as to facilitate his future affairs.”

The veins on Gao Qiao’s forehead throbbed, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

“Gao Xianggong, you must not be deceived by King Xin’an. He is loyal and kind on the surface, but in reality he has a deep scheming, retreats to advance, takes advantage of the trust you and the empress have in him, intends to disintegrate the family, manipulate the empress, and wait for the time to come. , he plans another big event!”

Tears were streaming down her face, and her expression was dreary.

“I have said everything that I should say. I know that my sin is unforgivable, and I have no face to live in the world, so I will go now. I just ask my husband. For the sake of the past and today, I will forgive my sins and forgive me. A-di is not dead, I am very grateful, in the next life, I will be a cow and a horse to repay the husband!”

With a white face, she staggered up from the ground, closed her eyes, and pounced on the tip of the sword held in Gao Qiao’s hands with her chest out.

Gao Qiao hesitated for a moment, and immediately stopped, but it was still a little late. The tip of the sword had already entered Shao Yuniang’s chest, piercing an inch more than an inch. As Gao Qiao retracted the sword, a stream of blood gurgled down from the wound on her chest.

Shao Yuniang let out a painful moan and fell to the ground, unconscious.

“Elder sister! Elder sister!”

Shao Fengzhi climbed to Shao Yuniang’s side and called her, bursting with tears and begging for mercy.

Gao Qiao stared at Shao Yuniang’s closed eyes, no **** face, her brows were wrinkled, her eyelids kept twitching, she pondered for a moment, and ordered someone to bring the Shao Brothers and brothers back to the city to be thrown into prison, and then came out and called their colleagues. Li Xie, whispered a few words.

Li Xie was surprised, and naturally followed suit, and the group immediately rode their horses, heading towards the city, and galloped away.

…

In the middle of the night, a figure entered through a small door in the palace, running unimpeded, galloping all the way, and soon reached the outside of Empress Gao Yongrong’s bedroom.

The emperor is still staying in Hualin Garden tonight. Gao Yongrong was awakened from his sleep, and after hearing the secret report, his face turned pale, and he paced back and forth in the bedroom, feeling extremely anxious.

The news came from the prisoner-in-law by Shaw’s side.

The prisoner was originally bought by Xiao Daocheng and ordered her to monitor Shao Yuniang. But Xiao Daocheng didn’t expect that Gao Yongrong had a hand with him, secretly taking the prisoner for his own use.

Tonight, Shao Fengzhi lost his tongue in hunting Yan, and Shao Yuniang forced Shao Fengzhi to kill and silence him for the sake of future trouble. Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from the prisoner. After Shao Fengzhi went, he didn’t return for a long time, and the expected fire was not seen. Shao Yuniang and the prisoner knew that things had changed. At that time, the prisoner-in-law secretly summoned the eyeliner and went to A Tao’s residence to inquire about the news, and learned that Shao Fengzhi was very likely to have been arrested.

At that time, Shao Yuniang realized that she should have been caught in a trap, and she was extremely frightened, and told the inmate to report to Xiao Daocheng immediately. She wanted to escape first, but was stopped by the inmate. Only then did Shao Yuniang know that the prisoner by her side was not actually Xiao Daocheng’s.

The prisoner-in-law said to her at the time, “Where else can you go? You fell into Gao Qiao’s trap, and your relationship with King Xin’an was exposed. Even if you are lucky at the moment and you escape, do you think you will have a chance to take revenge in the future?”

“The eldest princess hurt you to this point. If you run away, you can only hide in a dark place where you can’t see people, watch her give birth to a son, sing with Gao Qiaofu, and grow old together. If I were you, I would definitely live like this. It’s worse than death.”

“Now you’re still dreaming, wanting to rely on King Xin’an again? Gao Qiao knew that King Xin’an was plotting against you, can he still let him be the same as before?”

“The noble man said that as long as you are obedient, not only will you not die, but you will also help you with revenge in the future.”

It was just these few words that made Shao Yuniang give up and go to the “noble person” again, and after Gao Qiao arrived, she said those words.

For Gao Yongrong, the reason why Xiao Daocheng let Shao Yuniang out at this time was because the Lu family had completely withdrawn from the imperial court, and the Xu clan had also shrunk. cultivated.

The aristocratic family’s control over the court began to weaken, and now only Gao Qiao is the leader.

In Gao Yongrong’s plan, she wanted Shao Yuniang to get close to Gao Qiao and alienate Gao Qiao and his wife. In the end, if she could impress Gao Qiao with her old love and take him away, it would be like putting a pair of eyes next to him.

What she never expected was that the relationship between Shao Yuniang and King Xin’an would be exposed to Gao Qiao so quickly.

Once King Xin’an lost his loyal and upright mask from Gao Qiao, for Gao Yongrong, this person would no longer be of any use value.

Not to mention, if Gao Qiao continues to investigate, King Xin’an will inevitably lead him out, then all the previous plans will be in vain.

If faced with such a situation, she had only two options.

Either protect King Xin’an, the two will work together, turn against Gao Qiao, and eradicate Gao Qiao.

Either abandon the car to protect the commander, cut the arm to save the life, abandon King Xin’an, and continue to retain Gao Qiao.

For her, this is actually far from a difficult choice.

As far as the current court situation is concerned, ten Kings of Xin’an are no better than one Gao Qiao.

Before he could completely and completely control the court, no one could replace Gao Qiao and the Gao clan he represented in her role.

What’s more, King Xin’an doesn’t really have to give up on himself.

At this moment, Gao Yongrong suddenly felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, I had planned ahead and had no plans. Before releasing the chess piece, Shao Yuniang, I was prepared for the eventual failure. When Shao Brothers placed the prisoner, he told the prisoner how to speak and act.

Gao Qiao should attack Xiao Daocheng tonight.

The situation is urgent, and there is not much time left for her.

Without hesitation, she quickly made up her mind, summoned her cronies, and ordered to rush to the Xin’an Palace immediately to deliver the news.

…

The palace is not far from the palace. A feast was held tonight, the guests and the host enjoyed it, and it didn’t end soon. Xiao Daocheng was half-drunk, hugged a favored concubine, was sleeping soundly on the couch, and was suddenly awakened. Dao’s wife sent someone to send an urgent report, and immediately sobered up and hurriedly summoned him. It was revealed that she had arranged for Shao Yuniang to go to jail and ordered her to be close to Gao Qiao. Tonight, Shao Yuniang had been charged by Gao Qiao. , a moment of chaos.

In the past few years, in the imperial court, although he has also begun to cultivate his own power and win over a group of local Fangbo who has an army, compared with Gao, his military strength and prestige are like a firefly to Xingyue, Completely incomparable.

This is also the reason why he attaches great importance to the teaching of heavenly teachers. Before Gao Qiao issued the ban on teaching, in the name of being a teacher, he opened the door to Tianshijiao’s activities of recruiting disciples in various places.

The Tianshi teachers are all over the territory of Dayu. If they are activated, what kind of spectacular force will they become? In a sense, controlling Tianshijiao is like controlling a huge army in disguise.

The head of the school, Wu Cang, obeyed his words. In the imperial court, with the fall of the Lu and Xu families, his own people were slowly being promoted.

He was so proud of himself in the spring, and he never dreamed that such a fatal flaw would happen today in Shao Yuniang, a joint he was very relieved about!

When Gao Qiao learned about these things, it was easy to deal with him.

How could he let himself go?

The wine he drank in the first half of the night turned into cold sweat in an instant, oozing out from every pore on Xiao Daocheng’s body.

He jumped up, went to the palace immediately, stopped abruptly, summoned his cronies, handed out orders, and ordered Qi to quickly summon Qi’s Yulin army who obeyed his orders, on the grounds that he had just learned that the spies from the north had sneaked into Jiankang. , controlled the city gates on the four sides and the gates of the palace overnight, and did not let anyone enter or leave, and then sent a group of people to ambush near Gao’s house. After making arrangements, he hurried to the palace and called out Gao Yongrong.

Gao Yongrong came out of the bedroom, sat down, still yawned, and said unhappily, “What’s the matter? So late at night, why are you here to disturb me? Although the people who brought you in are all close friends, but the palace has a lot of eyes, if it falls into the eyes, How should it be?”

Xiao Daocheng was undecided, and told the news he had just received.

Gao Yongrong showed a look of horror, and stood up abruptly: “Damn it! Such a mistake could have happened! How can this be good?”

Xiao Daocheng said: “I received the news that I entered the palace to discuss this matter with you. You can rest assured first, I have already dealt with it. Since Gao Qiao knew that you and I were plotting against him, how could he tolerate it? , transferred the troops and temporarily controlled the four sides of the city gate, why don’t we take this opportunity to kill Gao Qiao!”

Gao Yongrong seemed to be taken aback and said nothing.

Xiao Daocheng urged: “Don’t be afraid, as long as you nod your head and let me do the killing of Gao Qiao, he is dead, you can declare a violent illness to the outside world, and I will stand in the way for you and Your Majesty! It is very different from before. The new officials of the court are all from you and me. You are also a member of the Gao family. As long as you speak out, if the Guangling Army dares to change, it will be a blatant rebellion! They may not have the courage to do so. To tell you the truth, I also already have an army, although I can’t compare with the Guangling army for the time being, but with the help of the Tianshi teachers, if something happens, I may not be able to compete with the Guangling army!”

“And don’t forget, King Wu Xing is now in the fief, and he is still alive and well! How could Gao Qiao know what you and His Majesty’s plans for him were, how could he be as helpful as before? With his power, he should abolish the establishment An emperor is not a matter of a word? If you keep breaking it, you will suffer from chaos!”

Gao Yongrong seemed to be tempted, but he was still hesitant.

Xiao Daocheng was impatient, and urged: “Li Xie obeys Gao Qiao, and there are more troops than me. There is not much time left for you and me! If you are hesitant at this moment, the world will be changed tomorrow! “

At this moment, a palace servant from outside the hall rushed in, his voice panicked, and shouted: “Empress, it’s not good! It is said that the Duwei and Yulin fought near the city gate!”

“Queen, Gao Qiao has already started! You haven’t thought about it yet?”

Xiao Daocheng gestured, holding the hilt of the saber, stepped forward and shouted sharply, staring at Gao Yongrong with a faint threatening expression.

Gao Yongrong showed panic: “If I agree, what do you want me to do now?”

Xiao Daocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: “As long as you hand over your Majesty’s seal to me, I will transfer all Yulin and Su Weijun to control Jiankang and take down Gao Qiao!”

Gao Yongrong nodded: “Okay, I’ll have someone pick it up for you!”

She took a few steps back and said loudly, “Come here, take your majesty’s talisman!”

The voice just fell, and I saw inside and outside the hall. Behind the curtain, suddenly, dozens of palace guards with swords and axes poured out, surrounding Xiao Daocheng in the middle.

Xiao Daocheng’s eyes widened suddenly, he pulled out his sword, and said sternly, “Gao Yongrong, what do you want to do?”

Gao Yongrong stood behind the palace guard, with less than the slightest look of panic on his face, staring at Xiao Daocheng, whose expression had changed drastically, and said coldly: “King Xin’an, there is something, you are mistaken. Gao Xianggong knows it. You are using the Shaw Brothers to plot against him, and you don’t know me. You are for yourself, that’s why you pushed me to kill him. I am doing my queen well, why did you follow you to kill my uncle and Dayu’s The imperial humerus?”

Xiao Daocheng seemed to be stunned, his eyes fixed on Gao Yongrong, as if he knew her for the first time, and for a while, even the angry expression just now disappeared.

“well!”

His face turned pale and pale, and his voice trembled slightly.

“It turns out that you are such a person with deep scheming! Blame my blindness, you were blinded by you! The cunning rabbit died, the running dog cooked! I tried my best to help the King of Dongyang ascend to the throne, and then I helped you with Xu and Lu. The family drove out of the imperial court to win over people’s hearts and cultivate power for you. In the end, you treated me like this! The most poisonous woman’s hearts! If I knew you were like this, when the first emperor died, I should obey Gao Qiao’s words and ascend to the throne by myself. Why? Come to today, how to end up like this?”

Gao Yongrong sneered.

“Do you think I don’t know? You secretly communicated with Tianshijiao, isn’t it for the purpose of plotting major events in the future? Which of the officials appointed today is not the first to speak to King Xin’an, and then to know His Majesty? It seems that you have no intention of taking the throne, but it’s just because you still have some self-knowledge!”

“At that time, my uncle’s heart was born, who didn’t know? You didn’t have enough prestige and power, and the court was dominated by aristocratic families. If you were in the top position, without my uncle’s help, what would you Xiao Daocheng be? It’s up to you to be able to. Imprisoned for the throne? At most, it’s just another poor **** held in the hands of a noble family!”

“Your idea was to use my hand to get rid of the aristocratic family first. When you are full of wings and control the court, in the future, your Majesty and me, won’t it be up to you?”

“You bitch!”

Xiao Daocheng scolded and slashed with his sword indiscriminately, looking like a madman.

“kill him!”

Gao Yongrong shouted, his voice extremely sharp.

Xiao Daocheng was hit with several knives and turned to escape, but how could he escape? After only running a few steps, he was stopped by the palace guard, and the swords and axe faced each other again.

A large pool of blood quickly poured out from the vertical and horizontal wounds on his body, spread, and dripped on the smooth palace ground.

The dense air was also filled with a strong **** smell.

Gao Yongrong ordered everyone to retreat, slowly came to Xiao Daocheng’s side, squatted down, stared at the still-dead man on the ground, his eyes were fixed on himself, his lips moved, and he couldn’t hear clearly. The vicious words cursed his man.

She turned a deaf ear, as if she was recalling something, her expression gradually softened, and a little sad.

“I originally thought that in the future, as long as you don’t push me too hard, I will never turn my back on you first, after all…”

She stopped, closed her eyes, took a long sigh, and slowly opened her eyes.

“Today’s incident can only be blamed on your bad luck. I really can’t help it. Besides, you didn’t die wrongly. You can go in peace. Your sons, I will give them a happy…”

“Poison woman…you must die…”

Xiao Daocheng’s eyes were splitting, and he suddenly spit out a clear curse from his blood-gushing mouth. After uttering the curse with the last breath left in his chest, his body twisted in pain and never moved.

Gao Yongrong stared at the corpse on the ground for a moment, his expression gradually turned indifferent, he slowly stood up, and sat back on his seat.
