In the quiet carriage, the gifted scholar and the beautiful lady sat together.
Xu Buling blinked and raised his hand to pat Xiao Xiang'er's buttocks.
"The current Empress Dowager committed suicide in the mountain resort. There is no Empress Dowager in the world. You will be my woman from now on. Hmm... exclusive. "
"Bah..."
Xiao Xiang'er was shocked by this news. When she saw that Xu Buling was not lying, her mind went blank. She struggled to get up.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm not dead. I'm the Empress Dowager. You... let me go. I want to go back to the capital..."
Xu Buling slowly took off her dress. "Baby, the Empress Dowager is dead. Chang'an City is probably holding a funeral. There is no Empress Dowager in the world. You can't go back. "
Xiao Xiang'er's almond-shaped eyes widened. Her mind was a mess. She stared at Xu Buling and said incoherently, "How dare you!
I'm the Empress Dowager. I sacrificed myself to detoxify you. After I detoxify the poison, I committed suicide. It's nothing to you... How could you... Dream on. I won't go back to Suzhou with you... Let me go... "
Xu Buling pursed his lips and chuckled. He untied her red dress and held the Empress Dowager in his arms.
"You committed suicide after the poison was detoxified. This poison is not detoxified yet. There are still seventy-nine more times. I have to finish my job..."
Xiao Xiang'er struggled with all her might. There was anger in her eyes. She would rather die than submit. However, the look in her eyes gradually softened. There was even a faint eagerness to break free from the prison.
The Empress Dowager was dead. There was no Empress Dowager in the world!
She was Xiao Xiang'er, a free woman who did not need to care about etiquette, rules, responsibilities, and other shackles.
She was who she was. She liked whoever she wanted and went wherever she wanted to go …
All of this was too tempting for a woman who had been alone in the palace for ten years!
Xiao Xiang'er kept scolding, but her body gradually became weak. Sitting in Xu Buling's arms, an indescribable but familiar feeling appeared in her heart again. Her mind collapsed instantly. She could no longer think about anything. She just raised her hand to ask Qiao E to leave and not look.
Qiao E's face turned purple. She did not dare to look at Xu Buling and Miss. She ran out of the carriage as if she was running for her life.
The moon was bright and stars were sparse. The earth was clear.
Inside the small carriage, the sound of breathing rose and fell.
Facing the direction of Chang 'an, Xu Buring hugged the Empress Dowager and pondered for a while.
"Baby, let me say something, don't be angry ~"
Xiao Xiang'er, who would rather die than submit just a moment ago, had already turned into a pile of mud. Dizzily, she rested her chin on Xu Buring's shoulder and murmured resentfully,
Xu Buling pursed his lips and smiled. He took a breath and held the Empress Dowager'er's waist with one hand. He raised his right hand and pointed a middle finger at Chang'an.
Xu Buring pursed his lips into a smile and took a deep breath. With one arm around the Empress Dowager's waist, he raised his right hand and pointed his middle finger at Chang 'an.
Slap!
A loud slap sounded in the carriage. It was followed by a woman's rebuke.
A loud slap was heard in the carriage, followed by a woman's angry and humiliated rebuke.
"Bah — you're sick … get out of here!"
"Don't be angry, baby..."
...
Under the same moonlight.
With the departure of the Su King's Crown Prince, the thousands of streets in Chang 'an regained their former peace. The news of the Su King and Guo Zhongxian conquering cities and territories in Yuanzhou made the scholars' blood boil. The earth-shattering changes in the past few days were deliberately forgotten and kept to the back of their minds.
After the Empress Dowager's' passing ', the usually desolate Perpetual Music Palace became even more desolate.
There were not many people in the world who knew that the Empress Dowager was still alive because she had always been an outsider. She had met Xu Buling a few times, but it was just a normal walk. No one would have thought that there would be such a strange solution to the Dragon Lock Parasite, that Xu Buling could be so bold, and that the Empress Dowager could be so bold.
The fire in the mountain resort coincided with the coup in Taiji Palace. The Imperial Guard and soldiers stayed near Chang'an to prevent any accidents. They did not even have time to rescue them.
The summer weather was dry, and the sudden fire almost destroyed the entire mountain resort.
No one cared about the Empress Dowager, just like no one remembered that there was such a useless Empress Dowager in the palace.
The only people who still worried about the Empress Dowager and grieved for her were the Xiao family.
The eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Qi, as the Empress Dowager's older sister, naturally cried the most and almost fainted from crying.
However, with Xiao Qi's intelligence, she had guessed from the moment the incident at Jiang Wang Platform happened that her sister, who had suddenly left the city, would be in trouble.
Thus, from beginning to end, Xiao Qi did not believe that her sister would die. She must have been taken away by that treacherous Death Mask.
Because of this, when she heard the news that the Empress Dowager had committed suicide, Xiao Qi was the first to run to the mountain resort. In the name of searching for corpses, she messed up the ruins of the mountain resort. She found a few corpses and burned them to replace them. Then, she sealed the corpses into coffins. With the status of the Xiao family, it was naturally not good for the imperial family to open the coffins and examine the corpses.
Xiao Qi was actually quite happy with her sister's ending. The Empress Dowager was just an identity. Whether she was Xiao Xiang'er or not, dead or alive, was the same. It was fine as long as her surname was Xiao.
Her sister could change her surname and live the rest of her life in a different place. As her sister, how could she be angry or stop her? This was already the best ending.
However, until now, Xiao Qi still did not believe that the dead man who licked her clean was so powerful.
After this big scheme was over, Xiao Qi learned of all the results and carefully reviewed it.
The three of them played chess. Song Yu used Xu Buling as a chess piece to usurp the throne. Song Ji used Song Yu as a chess piece to remove the vassal.
As for Xu Buring, who was at the bottom, he was supposed to stretch out his neck and wait to be executed.
If Xu Buling did not kill the emperor, neither Song Ji nor Song Yu would let Xu Buling leave the capital city alive.
Xu Buling's solution was simple. He followed the path laid out by Song Yu and Song Ji. At the last critical moment, when the whole world thought that Su Of Gojoseon would rebel and attack Chang'an, Su Of Gojoseon led the army to attack Northern Qi, regardless of her son's life or death.
Even the Prince of the Left of Northern Qi did not expect that his old enemy would attack him at this time, let alone Dai Yue's court officials.
In hindsight, this step was unexpected but reasonable. It was almost the simplest and most perfect solution.
However, Xiao Qi could not imagine how much courage and insight it took to think of it in advance.
After all, Xu Buling was poisoned by the Dragon-Locking Parasite and was on the verge of death. If the plan failed, he would not even be able to see Su Of Gojoseon one last time. Even if the plan succeeded, he would be a cripple when he returned to Suzhou. He used his life to exchange for peace for Su Of Gojoseon.
After Xu Buling left, Xiao Qi was about to return to Huainan. However, she could not forget the man who saw through the whole situation and reminded her to remind Xiao Chuyang to take all the credit for the Cui family.
Originally, after losing her chastity to Xu Buling, Xiao Qi wanted Xu Buling to die as soon as possible. However, today, she felt that it was a pity that Xu Buling became a cripple. If he could live peacefully, he would be very powerful in the future.
Full of worries, Xiao Qi came to Changle Palace for the last time. She went to the place where she first visited.
The bedroom was still filled with all kinds of objects. Empress Dowager had no children. The Xiao family would come tomorrow to clean up the Empress Dowager's "relics" and bring them back to the Xiao family for future generations to mourn.
Xiao Qi stood in the huge bedroom and looked at the phoenix bed where no one would ever lie. She was lost in thought and thought of the way she was bullied by the evil man. She used to hate and hate him, but now she did not hate him so much …
After a moment of silence, Xiao Qi suddenly thought of something. She ran to the bed and squatted down. She reached under the bed and found a small box.
Xiao Qi's face turned red. She did not expect her sister to not take this away. It would be terrible if the palace maid found it … She remembered that there was a wooden man inside …
Xiao Qi looked back and saw that there was no one in the bedroom. She raised her hand and opened the wooden box to check. However, she did not expect that the quail eggs and fox tails inside were all gone. There was only a note left.
"Huh?"
Xiao Qi blinked her eyes in confusion. She picked up the note written by someone and looked at it. There were a few lines of words written on it in a flamboyant style:
Nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, black and white falling on the jade plate.
Leaping into the abyss like a fish, half a man wins the clear sky!
Goodbye, Miss.
(^_^)
