They say it's sick

Chapter 81

"I do know that the prince is coming, and I have been waiting for a long time..." Yun Zhi smiled, her face calm as if she was just greeting, "If your guards were not too cautious, I would have come in to say hello to you earlier."

Xiao Duo frowned slightly, but he still kept a slight smile on his face, but he spoke with sarcasm: "I thought that a man of noble character like Young Master Yun would not kill innocent people recklessly."

"No, that's why I spent some time..." Yun Zhi tilted her head, "It's not that I have a noble character, but I don't like trouble, and I always just talk about the matter, the enmity between the prince and our Yun family No one else will be involved."

"Really?" Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Young Master Yun just said, what enmity does this king have with your Yun family?"

His voice was too calm, he didn't care about the sharp blade on his neck, and the aggressive aura in his beautiful eyebrows made Yunzhi grit his teeth unconsciously: "You..."

"You've been afraid of the military power in the hands of the Yun family for a long time, and everyone in the court knows it, so why pretend to be confused now..."

A thin figure circled behind the screen, approaching slowly against the dim candlelight, his eyes swept up and down Xiao Duo's body, and said indifferently, "As expected of the King of Huai'an, he can still be so calm at this time."

Xiao Duo lifted his chin slightly, his eyes fixed on Yuan Jing's face, he was neither surprised nor annoyed, and even smiled a little when he said: "This king thought that His Majesty was going to stay behind, waiting for this king and Yun Xiao The young master will only show up after both sides are hurt."

Yuan Jing stopped a few steps away, all the grievances accumulated in her heart for several years wanted to come out, but she didn't want to explode in front of Xiao Duo who was still calm and calm at this time, staring at him for a while Hui Cai finally opened his mouth: "I have spent so much time to wait until this day, so I have to personally send you on the road to be at ease."

"It took a lot of thought, especially in trying to provoke the relationship between the Yun family and this king..." Xiao Duo looked at him and said slowly, "Even at the expense of Yunji who is also your teacher and friend. "

"At this time, you still want to argue, because you think that young master Yun will trust your provocations?" Yuan Jing retorted immediately as he had expected, and when he noticed Yun Zhi's gaze, he immediately changed his breath and said softly, "I promised you that day to let you personally kill Xiao Duo to avenge Yun Qing, now the time has come, you can do it."

Yun Zhi slightly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Duo's face, but she didn't move, instead she turned her eyes to look at Yuan Jing: "Before killing Xiao Duo, I have something to ask Your Majesty."

Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows, feeling that there seemed to be something different about Yunzhi today. He looked at the long sword that hadn't moved, and replied patiently: "What's the matter, just ask."

"I want to know what His Majesty hoped for when he handed over the secret edict to my eldest brother..." Yunzhi asked, "Or, what do you want our Yun family to do?"

"I..." Yuan Jing froze for a moment, and then closed his eyes, "You are still young and have been in Youzhou for many years without knowing the situation in the capital. Since I became the throne, Xiao Duo has been controlling the government and corrupting the government. I know Yun Qing well, know You, the Yun Family, are loyal, so you wrote down the secret edict in the hope that the Marquis of Zhenyuan can raise his troops to the south, get rid of traitors, and help the court."

"Raise troops to the south?" Yunzhi repeated these four words, and smiled softly, "Your Majesty said that I didn't know the situation in the capital when I was young, so your Majesty has been on the throne for several years. Don't you know that once my father sends troops south to the small countries in the north of Youzhou? Will take advantage of the situation, who will protect the people of Youzhou at that time?

Even if the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Your Majesty does not care about the people of Youzhou, have you ever thought about how the people in the capital will deal with themselves if my Yun family and the Marquis of Zhenyuan meet each other? "

"You... I admit that when I wrote the secret edict that day, I didn't think much about it, and because of this, Yun Qing was implicated..."

Yuan Jing's complexion changed slightly, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down, "The mistake is irreparable, I just hope that getting rid of the behind-the-scenes instigation can slightly comfort Yun Qing's spirit in heaven."

When he said this, his eyes were lowered, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked extremely sad, but unfortunately the two people present were unmoved, and Xiao Duo even let out a very mocking chuckle.

"It's almost there..." He easily pushed away the long sword on his neck with one finger, "My king's neck is stiff."

"Why didn't the prince say it earlier?"

Yun Zhi let out a low laugh, and backhanded the long sword that had been hanging around Xiao Duo's neck back into its sheath.

"You..." Yuan Jing looked at the two people in front of her in disbelief, subconsciously took two steps back, and shouted at the closed palace door, "Zhao Li!"

The palace door opened in response, and the joy on Yuan Jing's face disappeared when he saw the face of the visitor: "Why is it you, Zhao Li!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Zhao is doing well now, and he's reminiscing with the good-for-nothings that the Zheng family found..."

Li Yan put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, walked into the palace step by step under Yuan Jing's gaze, and nodded towards Xiao Duo, "My lord, the palace has been cleaned up, and the empress and His Highness are also safe. The steward is resting there, and General Gao is leading people to set up defenses outside."

"Hmm..." Xiao Duo responded lazily, pretending not to see Li Yan walking up to Yun Zhi's side, and took out Fang Jinpa from his arms to wipe the rain off his face, then turned his eyes to look at Yuan Jing , "It's getting late, and this king is going back to rest. If the Holy Majesty has something to say to the queen mother and son, this king can reluctantly convey it."

The shock on Yuan Jing's face dissipated, and she laughed lightly as if laughing at herself: "In the end, it's still a failure!"

The voice was extremely low, but there was no fear at all, and even a little "it's still the same" relief.

He took two steps forward, straightened his back, and for the first time met Xiao Duo's eyes without flinching or flinching: "At this time, stop pretending. I have planned to this day, and I have done nothing. Even if you are prepared to die, it will not make you too happy."

It was the first time Xiao Duo saw Yuan Jing like this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he was about to speak when he heard someone knock on the door of the palace, Gao Liang's voice mixed with the sound of rain came into the palace: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the army!"

Xiao Duo was surprised for a moment, turned around and saw Yuan Jing's obviously expected expression, and couldn't help but sneered: "This king thinks there are other ways to surpass others."

He raised his chin at Yunzhi, didn't bother to say another word, and plunged into the rain without looking back.

The hall suddenly became quiet, only the sound of rain came in through the half-open hall door.

Li Yan glanced out along the way, then turned his gaze back to look at Yun Zhi, and the moment his eyes met, he understood what the other party meant.

"I left an umbrella for you outside the hall, so don't get caught in the rain..." Li Yan said softly, "I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

After getting a response, he turned around and walked outside the hall.

The heavy hall door slowly closed with a soft sound, interrupting the silence in the hall.

Yuan Jing turned around and found a round chair to sit down, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and drank slowly.

Yun Zhi took his tranquility into his eyes, turned around and sat down on another chair: "Looking at His Majesty's expression, he really caused a lot of trouble for the King of Huai'an. Let me guess... what happened was that the Southwest ? During the reign of the first emperor, the king of Huai’an led his army to suppress the rebellion. Although he made great military exploits, the bloodthirsty killings also left many hidden dangers. It is usually calm and calm, but there are people who deliberately instigate it.”

"I really underestimated you..." Yuan Jing listened quietly to Yun Zhi's words, then poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of him, "Drink a cup of tea and talk slowly."

"It seems that it's not just the Southwest, but also, after all, King Huai'an is not the only one His Majesty wants to get rid of today... It seems that my father will not be able to survive this year of An Sheng..."

Yun Zhi glanced at the teacup, then at Yuan Jing's face, raised his eyebrows lightly, "Your Majesty really planned it painstakingly, step by step."

Yuan Jing shook her head, with regret on her face: "It's a pity that I trusted the wrong person."

"Your Majesty, have you been acting for so long that you have even deceived yourself? It's not because you trust me, but you know that with the current prestige of King Huai'an, you can't do anything even if you kill him." Aftermath." Yunzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Today is different, King Huai'an was killed on the front foot, and a war broke out in the southwest on the back foot. Most of his cronies were formed during the chaos in the southwest that day. Of course, it is impossible to let Southwest take care of it, and the rest, even if you want to pursue...

I was the one who killed the King of Huai'an today, and His Majesty can even fight back, using the banner of revenge for the King of Huai'an to win people's hearts.But my Yun family just happened to be entangled by those small countries in the north. "

He put down the teacup and looked at Yuan Jing, "Although the King of Huai'an is not dead, His Majesty's plan still works. What will happen, who knows."

Yuan Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned him from top to bottom, half praising and half regretting: "At this time, I am sure that you are indeed Yun Qing's younger brother."

Hearing Yun Ji's name, Yun Zhi was silent for a moment, and looked up at Yuan Jing: "I thought Your Majesty would have no face to mention my eldest brother in front of me again!"

"I told you the other day that Yun Qing and I were called monarchs and ministers, but in fact they were teachers and students, and they seemed like close friends. It was not a lie..."

Yuan Jing lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of something, picked up the teacup and took another sip, "Since when did you suspect me?"

Yun Zhi pursed her lips slightly: "That secret edict."

"Secret order?" Yuan Jing looked up in surprise.

"Your Majesty ordered people to hide the secret edict in eldest brother's study, trying to make me think that King Huai'an was murderous because of that secret edict, and after he couldn't find the secret edict on my elder brother's body, he sent someone to search his study. Reasonable, but..."

As Yun Zhi was talking, she reached out and took out the cracked jade pendant from her bosom, stared at it for a while, and her voice was unconsciously exhausted, "Your Majesty kept saying that he knew my elder brother, but he never knew him What kind of person is it?"

"I really don't know him. In the past three years, I only heard him say that your Yun family has been loyal for generations and never feared death. That's why I thought of asking your Yun family to help Chao Gang and save me from the fire, but I didn't expect..."

Yuan Jing put down the teacup, looked up at Yunzhi, sighed a little in his voice, "He rejected me, and told me that it is true that he wanted to regain control of the government, but it should not be exchanged for the people of Youzhou and the people of the world. "

Yun Zhi slowly clenched his left hand into a fist, and the cool texture of the jade pendant spread from his palm to his heart. He stood up and looked down at the Lord of the World in front of him.

The murderer behind the big brother's murder is right in front of him, but he can't feel the slightest hope that his revenge will be avenged. Instead, he feels desolate and tired: "Big brother is doing it for your own good. If a king can't pity his people, Even if you get what you want, it won't last long, it's a pity you haven't understood this truth after sitting on the dragon chair for so long!"

"The members of your Yun family are all the same, even the words you preach are similar. You are not me, so how do you know my suffering and helplessness..." Yuan Jing also seemed a little tired, and shook his head lightly, "It's not that I want to do it myself Is the real culprit behind the murder, let’s do it, who is right and who is wrong, wait until the bottom, and then I will argue with Yun Qing slowly."

Yun Zhi looked at him for a while, then slowly stretched her hand to her waist, and clenched the hilt of the sword tightly. The moment the sword was unsheathed, the door of the main hall opened again from the outside. Amid the sound of wind and rain outside the hall, the sudden female voice seemed particularly clear.

"Young Master Yun!"

Yun Zhi's hand holding the sword paused slightly, and she turned her head to watch Empress Xiao slowly walk into the palace: "Empress Empress."

"It's the Son of Heaven..." Empress Xiao took out a delicate porcelain bottle from her bosom, "Blood should not be seen."

Yun Zhi glanced at the porcelain vase, and then at Yuan Jing who had been fixed on Empress Xiao's face without blinking since she appeared.Suddenly, I felt that who did it and how it was done was not so important.

Since a person is dead, he is ignorant. Finding the real culprit to pay for his elder brother's life was just his own obsession from the beginning, and it should be gone at this moment.

The door of the hall was slightly open, just enough to see the oil-paper umbrella left by Li Yan.

"Then trouble the empress."

Yun Zhi put the long sword back into its sheath, turned around and left the palace gate, picked up the oiled paper umbrella, and walked into the rain curtain without looking back.

In the empty hall, only the most honorable empress in the eyes of the people in the world remained.

"I thought I would never be able to see the empress again in this lifetime..." Yuan Jing's calm face finally changed since the moment Empress Xiao appeared, "I never thought that the empress would be willing to come and see me off for the last time."

"It's good to be a couple..." Empress Xiao walked in front of him, her glamorous face could not hide her sorrow, "Your Majesty should have something to say to me."

Yuan Jing looked at her quietly for a while, then shook her head lightly: "Actually, I don't know what to say, I am content to see the queen for the last time."

"Your Majesty is really...Since Your Majesty won't say it, let me say it..." Empress Xiao laughed softly, "I am the one who instigated people to inject slow poison into His Majesty's meal, and wanted His Majesty to weaken to death. .”

"You..." Yuan Jing choked up, and said after a while, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, doesn't that poison look familiar?" Empress Xiao's eyes slowly turned red, and she paused every word, "It's like... exactly the same as the one you ordered people to go down to the nurse's meal?"

Yuan Jing opened her eyes wide, watching Empress Xiao's eyes slowly overflow with tears, she closed them as if she couldn't bear it, and let out a very low sigh: "So you already knew."

"Yes, I have known for a long time that Your Majesty is not willing to let my elder brother monopolize the power, and even after Yin'er was born, he was worried all day long because he was worried that my elder brother would abolish him..." Empress Xiao took out a brocade handkerchief from her arms, and wiped off her face. Tears on his face, "However, I never imagined that His Majesty would murder his own flesh and blood because of this, disregarding the relationship between husband and wife and the blood of father and son!"

"How can I be willing?" Yuan Jing opened his eyes, and the eyes were filled with water, "It's just that I am the master of this world, so I will be held hostage by your Xiao family for the rest of my life!"

"Abducted by our Xiao family?" Empress Xiao couldn't help laughing, her eyes were faintly red, "Your Majesty doesn't know, after the late emperor passed away, my brother's original intention was to kill all of you surnamed Yuan to serve my father. Mother and my Xiao family are full of revenge, because of me, he is willing to keep His Majesty's life, and send you to this dragon chair, but it is unthinkable..."

As she spoke, she finally couldn't hold back anymore, and her voice was choked with sobs, "If I had known that I would get to where I am today, I might as well..."

"It's better to tell Zhen to die with the late emperor and my nephews who have exhausted all the tricks..."

Yuan Jing raised her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, then stretched out her hand to Empress Xiao, "It's better than letting the Empress personally send me on my way now."

Empress Xiao stared at that hand and did not move for a long time.

Back then, the Xiao family fell, her parents died tragically, and her elder brother was sentenced to exile. She was the only one left to live incognito with her nurse. Later, she met Yuan Jing who had the title of King Rui but was also lonely and helpless.

He once used this hand to hold himself to watch lanterns, he also used this hand to teach himself to write and draw, and he even used this hand to hold himself in his arms when he encountered an assassin.

They are childhood sweethearts, and they also depend on each other for life. The various affections that were formed in the infancy cannot be faked.

But when did it change?

Empress Xiao turned her eyes from the hall in front of her.

This place is empty, but it is a place where only emperors and empresses can live.

When the elder brother sent Yuan Jing to the throne that day, he just wanted to give the best everything in the world to his only sister, but he never expected that the throne was not only noble, but also confusing.

I can't go back in the end.

Empress Xiao shook her head lightly, and put the porcelain vase that had been in her hand into Yuan Jing's palm.

The author says:

After deleting, deleting, modifying and modifying, I finally wrote this chapter.

There are too many things to explain, but some of them cannot be said directly from the dialogue.After all, at this moment in the end, many things are well known, and it is impossible for Yunzhi to discuss in detail with the emperor how he murdered his elder brother, and it is impossible for the emperor to tell Yunzhi the details of how he framed King Huai'an.

So some parts are simply mentioned, and based on the previous article, it should be understandable... right...

As for not letting Yunzhi kill the emperor in the end, he felt that the Yun family didn't want to replace him after all. It was not only inappropriate to murder the emperor, but there would be future troubles, and Yunzhi's obsession could not be dissipated.

Furthermore, she felt that it was more suitable for Yuan Jing to die in the hands of Empress Xiao.

After talking a lot, I still hope that this chapter can be written clearly and you can understand it under the condition of limited pen power.

最关键的地方写完，后面就是逐渐收尾了离完结应该也不远了。感谢在2022-09-1218:58:46-2022-09-1420:39:30期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦……
