The battle cries outside the main hall had already started to die down. Only the flames were getting bigger and bigger, illuminating the entire Imperial City.
Xuan Yuan Qing leisurely strolled in the main hall, walking step by step towards the Dragon Throne. When he passed by Su Wan, he paused for a moment and then continued to walk forward with a smile.
Xuan Yuan Po who was sitting on the Dragon Throne looked at the Fifth Prince that he didn't like. Finally, after a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth: "For this position, you want to kill your Imperial Father?"
"Imperial Father?"
Xuan Yuan Qing stopped his footsteps and looked at Xuan Yuan Po with a face full of ridicule: "Since you are ruthless enough to behead me, then why can't I kill you? When you killed me, did you even care about the slightest bit of familial love between father and son? "
Xuan Yuan Po didn't speak, still looking at Xuan Yuan Qing with a heavy gaze. At this time, he still hoped that someone would come to rescue him. After all, there were still many guards outside the Imperial City. Xuan Yuan Po didn't believe that with Xuan Yuan Qing's strength, he could take down the entire Imperial City in one fell swoop and not cause any commotion and suspicion outside.
"Imperial Father, why aren't you speaking? What are you waiting for? City guards? Or your Imperial Secret Guards? "
Speaking to here, Xuan Yuan Qing suddenly looked at Imperial Steward An Ping who had been guarding Xuan Yuan Po's Dragon Throne: "Why don't we let Steward An Ping tell you the answer?"
An Ping?
Xuan Yuan Po's gaze suddenly pierced towards An Ping. An Ping who had always been submissive no longer concealed himself at this time. He quickly walked down the stairs and knelt straight in front of Xuan Yuan Qing's feet: "Your Majesty, this is the Tiger Seal to mobilize the Imperial Secret Guards and the secret edict to mobilize the Imperial Secret Guards!"
"An Ping! So it was you! "
At this time, Xuan Yuan Po finally knew that he was betrayed by his most trusted confidant. Under his agitated state, Xuan Yuan Po's heart was attacked by poison and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
In the previous life, Xuanyuan Qing was also the unpopular Fifth Prince, but in the end, he still sat on the throne. All this, in addition to his own forbearance and wisdom, he also borrowed a lot of external forces, and the biggest help came from the inside and outside of the Imperial City's An Ping.
In the previous life, at this time, Xuan Yuan Rui's faction had already fallen, so Ye Zhi Hua didn't know that An Ping was Xuan Yuan Qing's people, but regarding this matter, Su Wan was very clear.
This was the most common form of betrayal in the Imperial City, and it was also the most despairing kind of betrayal.
At this time, the atmosphere in the main hall had become even more strange. Xuan Yuan Qing seemed to be afraid that other people didn't know how cold-blooded he was. He suddenly pulled out a sword from the hands of the imperial guard behind him and walked up the stairs step by step. The sharp sword pointed straight at Xuan Yuan Po's chest.
Xuanyuan Po had been an Emperor for many years and had always been high and mighty, good at enjoying life. At this moment, when his life was suddenly threatened, he instinctively began to panic and fear, "Qing 'er, Imperial Father … Imperial Father can … abdicate … abdicate … to …"
The word "you" hadn't even left his mouth when Xuanyuan Qing's sword had already pierced through Xuanyuan Po's body.
Since he had already embarked on the path of a renegade, Xuan Yuan Qing no longer sought to be legitimate. But tonight, he must leave an unerasable mark in everyone's heart. He wanted everyone to be filled with enough reverence towards him.
"Father, rest in peace!"
Pulling out the blood-stained sword, Xuan Yuan Qing was still smiling.
"Who else?"
Xuan Yuan Qing dragged the long sword, blood dripping drop by drop fell under the Dragon Throne, but he still smiled and looked at everyone in the main hall: "Who else wants to accompany the late Emperor? Zhen will fulfill his wish today! "
Sure enough, the original Male Lead was even more domineering. Su Wan tilted her body and took the opportunity to size up Xuanyuan Rui who was in the crowd. At this moment, his complexion was already unsightly beyond description.
And the moment Xuan Yuan Qing's voice fell, there were finally a few figures who couldn't help but rush out from the main hall. One of them was Su Yu Feng.
"Bold renegade! Still not quickly accept your death! "
Under the leadership of Su Yu Feng, a few loyal and patriotic generals actually forcibly suppressed the poison and rushed in front of Xuan Yuan Qing. Xuan Yuan Qing merely lifted his sword and lightly swept it, and those generals who were usually aloof and aloof all fell to the ground.
Seeing their indignant and intolerable expressions, Xuan Yuan Qing kicked Xuan Yuan Po's corpse under the Razor Dragon Chair and sat on the chair as if no one else was present. His gaze ruminatively swept across the audience and finally landed on Su Wan's body.
"Cousin Su Wan, this poison of yours is really powerful."
Su Wan glanced at Xuan Yuan Qing and under everyone's incredulous gaze, she slowly stood up: "No matter how powerful the poison is, without Steward An's help, it is also useless."
"Xiao Wan!"
"Xiao Wan!"
Su Yu Feng who fell to the ground and Physician Si who was sitting not far away, coincidentally called out to Su Wan. The voices of the two men were trembling.
Su Yu Feng completely didn't dare to believe that his own daughter would collude with the renegade. And Physician Si's gaze was focused on Su Wan. That kind of complicated gaze was like a silent question and accusation.
"Right now, what I am holding in my hand is the antidote."
Su Wan completely ignored Su Yu Feng and Physician Si's gaze and indifferently looked at everyone present: "As long as you are willing to pledge allegiance to His Majesty, you can get the antidote and even get a promotion! If you are not willing to declare your position, then I will also very sincerely send you to the underworld to pledge allegiance to His Majesty! "
As Su Wan's voice fell, the atmosphere of the entire main hall changed again.
Xuan Yuan Qing's palace coup was obviously successful. His Majesty was dead, what else could they do?
Continue to be a loyal minister who was not afraid of death, or …..
In the main hall, some people were moved, some people were hesitant, but no one dared to be the first to speak.
"You only have the time for half an incense stick to burn to consider!"
Su Wan waved her hand and An Ping immediately ignited the prepared incense stick.
People were forced to come out. Just now, no one was willing to stand out, but seeing that the remaining time was getting less and less, someone finally couldn't bear it and jumped out to pledge allegiance to Xuan Yuan Qing. With the first, there was a second. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people were already kneeling in the middle of the main hall. And that half an incense stick happened to burn out at this time.
"Is there anything else?"
Su Wan once again looked around, her gaze paused on the remaining people.
The remaining people, other than Xuan Yuan Qing's brothers and some Imperial family members, were the genuine loyal ministers and good generals.
"It should be these?" Su Wan turned her head and looked at Xuan Yuan Qing. Xuan Yuan Qing rushed at her and nodded.
"You guys missed the last chance."
Su Wan whispered to herself, then immediately opened the medicine bottle in her hand and put the antidote into the hands of those people who came to seek refuge. Those officials and their families immediately couldn't wait to thank her and swallowed the antidote.
Su Wan's lips finally revealed a trace of a smile, and that smile was seen by Physician Si who had been paying attention to her every move. Physician Si took a deep breath, his face immediately became wonderful. This taste is …..
After killing Xuan Yuan Po and obtaining the throne, and also subduing half of the ministers, at the moment Xuan Yuan Qing's mood was very good. He smiled as he looked at the group of people in the main hall who refused to admit defeat, among them were his other brothers.
These few people were also smart, they knew that no matter what, he would not let them go. So at this moment, almost everyone's expression was ugly as they sat in the same place, looking face to face with Xuan Yuan Qing.
"Since you guys are not willing to assist Zhen, then Zhen can only ….."
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing that Xuan Yuan Qing was about to order the Imperial Army under his command to make a move, a voice suddenly interrupted him.
Physician Si somewhat swayed as he stood up. Although he was talking to Xuan Yuan Qing, his gaze was always on Su Wan's face: "Fifth Prince, can I ask Little Junzhu a question?"
En?
Xuan Yuan Qing didn't care about Physician Si's way of addressing him. In fact, he didn't really intend to take Physician Si's life. Physician Si was a talented person and was also deeply devoted to Su Wan. This was a person who could be used and had the opportunity to subdue.
"Si daren, please go ahead."
Xuan Yuan Qing already guessed what Physician Si wanted to ask Su Wan. In fact, Xuan Yuan Qing was also very curious, how would Su Wan answer Physician Si, would she persuade Physician Si to be loyal to him?
Physician Si slowly walked in front of Su Wan step by step, looking straight at her eyes. The two people silently looked at each other for a long time.
Until he saw Su Wan, who was standing in front of him, lightly rubbing her shoulders because of being motionless for a long time, Physician Si finally unhurriedly opened his mouth: "Xiao Wan, helping the Fifth Prince to rebel, are you willing?"
Hearing Physician Si's words, Su Wan glanced at Physician Si and subconsciously lowered her eyes to look at Su Yu Feng who was lying on the side with blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Of course I ….."
Su Wan's voice paused for a moment, then immediately replied in an even louder voice: "Not willing!"
"Su Wan!"
Xuan Yuan Qing who was sitting on the Dragon Throne looked at Su Wan with an unkind gaze. He was pondering over the meaning of Su Wan's words when a large group of elite soldiers suddenly rushed into the main hall and surrounded the people that Xuan Yuan Qing brought!
"Xuan Yuan Qing, you murdered the Emperor and killed your father, everyone has the right to punish you!"
A low and deep voice sounded in the crowd. Immediately after, under everyone's indescribably astonished gaze, the Fourth Prince, Xuan Yuan Ye, who had always kept a low profile, calmly stood up.
This is …..
Just when Xuan Yuan Qing's face was filled with shock, another accident happened in the main hall. Those ministers who had just taken the antidote suddenly had their complexions turn purple and foamed at the mouth. One by one, they fell down.
The so-called twists and turns, it was nothing more than this.
Physician Si looked at Su Wan and then looked at the medicine bottle in her hand: "What's in here is the highly toxic poison. What I said, is that right?"
Su Wan noncommittally smiled. That's right, what she held in her hand was the poison and the real antidote, was actually mixed by Su Wan into the incense of the incense that had just been burned.
"Su Wan!"
Xuan Yuan Qing looked at Su Wan with widened eyes. Until now, he still couldn't believe that he was actually played by the weak and harmless looking Su Wan!
Meeting Xuan Yuan Qing's gaze, Su Wan still had an innocent look on her face: "Fifth Biao Ge, you used Su Rui's life to threaten me. I was forced to compromise with you, but I didn't think that you would actually dare to harm His Majesty. You're really too scary! If ….. if I had known earlier that you would harm His Majesty, I ….. even if I die, I still wouldn't compromise with you! "
Within a few sentences, Su Wan first stripped herself clean. It didn't matter if other people believed it or not, as long as she believed it herself, it's fine.
Sure enough …..
Hearing Su Wan's words, Xuan Yuan Qing's heart had already thoroughly turned cold.
Su Wan had always been deceiving him, and Su Wan's true partner was actually …..
"Fourth Imperial Brother, you're really hiding your strength!"
Xuan Yuan Qing looked at Su Wan and then looked at Xuan Yuan Ye. His originally sharp gaze gradually darkened: "I lost, I admit it."
… …..
The so-called country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. After the entire Imperial City was controlled by Xuan Yuan Ye's troops, those ministers who had survived the calamity also accepted their fate and elected Xuan Yuan Ye as the new Emperor!
Three days later, the new Emperor ascended the throne. The traitor Xuan Yuan Qing and his accomplices were beheaded on the streets. The heads of Xuan Yuan Qing, Ye Zhi Jin and the others were hung on the Meridian Gate to deter thieves and thieves. This time, they really couldn't be more dead.
Following the ascension of the new Emperor, the entire Imperial Court underwent the biggest purge and reorganization in history. Not long after, the other princes were separately convicted of different crimes. Some were banished, some were placed under house arrest, and some were even directly executed by the Supreme Court in public!
These princes who were condemned naturally included Xuan Yuan Rui, but his crime didn't warrant death. He was only placed under house arrest in a secluded courtyard of the Imperial Family. This place was even more desolate and deserted than the cold courtyard that Su Wan once stayed in. The entire courtyard also didn't have anyone to serve him. Other than Xuan Yuan Rui, there was only Ye Zhi Hua who was also placed under house arrest.
The two people were placed under house arrest in this secluded courtyard. They didn't have luxurious clothes and food, and also didn't have a palace servant to serve them. As time passed, Xuan Yuan Rui became more and more irritable. Ye Zhi Hua could only endure it.
On the second month of Xuan Yuan Rui's house arrest, the secluded courtyard welcomed its first visitor. The visitor was an inner servant of the Imperial City. He brought over some clothing and exquisite pastries. It was said that the Emperor was going to hold the Empress Conferring Ceremony. The whole country would celebrate and specially bestowed these gifts. At first, Xuan Yuan Rui didn't care about the words of the inner servant. Until before he left, the inner servant handed over a letter personally written by the Empress to Xuan Yuan Rui. Only then did Xuan Yuan Rui's complexion changed.
It turned out that the Empress that Xuan Yuan Ye wanted to marry was actually Su Wan!
In fact, Xuan Yuan Rui was already the last person to know the news. At this time, the entire capital knew that the Emperor wanted to marry Su Wan as the Empress. The entire Su fu swept away the haze from the previous days. From top to bottom, the entire fu glowed with new vitality.
Although Su Wan's actions regarding Xuan Yuan Qing's matter were inappropriate, but now that the dynasty was under Xuan Yuan Ye's control, no one dared to use that matter as an excuse. On the contrary, after the reshuffling of the court, Su family's position didn't rise but rose instead. This made everyone see that the Emperor was truly biased towards Su Wan Junzhu. Now that the marriage between the two people was spread, it didn't make too many people surprised.
At first, Su Yu Feng was brooding over the death of the former Emperor. Afterwards, he talked with Xuan Yuan Ye in the Imperial Study a few times and was convinced by the newly appointed Emperor. Although he didn't understand why Su Wan gave up Physician Si and chose Xuan Yuan Ye, regarding Su Wan's own choice, Su Yu Feng had no right to stop it.
When Physician Si once again visited the Su fu, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.
It was still that room, it was still that person in front of him, but Physician Si suddenly felt that Su Wan was very far away from him. So far that it was as if she was on the other side of another world.
"You came?"
Su Wan was very calm towards Physician Si's arrival.
"I came today just to ask you … …"
"No need to ask. Never loved. "
Su Wan coldly interrupted Physician Si's words.
Never loved these three words, she said it very straightforwardly and efficiently.
Physician Si's heart tightened, but his face still carried a gentle smile: "Actually, I wanted to ask … …"
"Don't ask. It's just like what you think. From the beginning, I was together with Fourth Biao and schemed against everyone, including you and Xuan Yuan Qing."
Su Wan once again interrupted Physician Si's words, destroying the last trace of fantasy in his heart.
The smile on Physician Si's face finally couldn't hang on anymore. His entire back stiffened: "Why, why?"
Why?
Su Wan seriously looked at Physician Si's face: "Because … … you're stupid, easy to deceive ah!"
Deceiving you, only because you're easy to deceive.
This was really the best reason! In fact, there was another reason that Su Wan didn't say. She really didn't have a good impression of softhearted men like Tom Su.
Although Physician Si also sincerely helped her a lot, but if it was another woman, he could still go through water and tread on fire like this, just for the so-called "kindness" or "weakness" in his eyes.
This kind of overflowing love, Su Wan couldn't accept it.
When Physician Si came to Su fu, he mustered up a lot of courage, but after seeing Su Wan, his entire person was out of his wits, dazed out of his wits … …
On the day of Su Wan and Xuan Yuan Ye's big wedding, all the places in the capital were hung with red ribbons and silk flowers. The festive music even spread to every corner of the capital.
Xuan Yuan Rui who lived in the secluded courtyard also heard that sound and saw the bright red everywhere. He seemed to remember that year when he was high-spirited and vigorous, also with such fanfare and excitement, he married Su Wan back home.
In the blink of an eye, in less than five years, she became the Empress, but he wasn't the Emperor.
Everything, where did it go wrong?
Su Wan was originally his Wangfei, now that she became the Empress, he should be the Emperor, he should be the one to rule the world ah!
In the midst of joy, Xuan Yuan Rui's gaze became absent-minded, his face became abnormally painful.
"Wangye!"
At this time, Ye Zhi Hua who had just finished preparing breakfast after working hard for the whole morning came over to call Xuan Yuan Rui back to his room to eat. Hearing her voice, Xuan Yuan Rui seemed to be greatly stimulated, he suddenly stood up and rushed in front of Ye Zhi Hua, using both his hands to firmly grasp Ye Zhi Hua's neck: "It's you, it's all because of you!"
"Wang, Wangye … …" Ye Zhi Hua's originally haggard face quickly turned white, her gaze was fixated on Xuan Yuan Rui's face. At this moment, she felt hopeless, felt sad.
Breathing became more and more difficult, Ye Zhi Hua's eyes became absent-minded, she seemed to see that spring day in her past life. She was outside a peach blossom forest when she first met the elegant and unrestrained Third Prince. At that time, her heart was palpitating, she felt that she had found the man of her dreams, but in the end?
In her past life, she and Xuan Yuan Rui had no fate, she was also harmed and died.
In this life, everything started over, she married Xuan Yuan Rui as she wished, but now what did she get?
Other than a short period of sweetness, what he gave her was more suspicion, coldness and hurt.
Ye Zhi Hua slowly closed her eyes, she began to feel some regret.
God loved her so much, giving her a chance to be reborn, but she used everything she had to help Xuan Yuan Rui.
Really stupid ah!
In her past life, Xuan Yuan Rui's skills were already inferior to others, in this life, even if she helped him to deal with Xuan Yuan Qing, so what? Wasn't it still the same, they were all beaten into the dust by Xuan Yuan Ye!
Could it be that God let her be reborn this time, just to let her accept her fate?
No, it shouldn't be like this! If it was possible, if it was possible again, she would rather marry Xuan Yuan Qing … …
Carrying this kind of regret and regret, Ye Zhi Hua forever closed her eyes.
She didn't know, even if it was a person favored by God, they would always only have that one chance, she would never have a second chance to choose … …
Ye Zhi Hua died, she was strangled to death by Xuan Yuan Rui. Looking at the lifeless corpse at his feet, Xuan Yuan Rui's face didn't have any expression, he used his strength to kick the corpse that still had residual warmth, loudly shouted: "Bold slave! Seeing Zhen, why didn't you immediately greet me! "
He wouldn't admit that he was a loser, in his heart, he was the winner.
Letting a person who saw power and status as everything in life, after losing everything, fall into a state of remorse and madness, this was far more satisfying than directly killing him.
At the moment when Ye Zhi Hua died and Xuan Yuan Rui went crazy, Su Wan already sat on the Empress' Phoenix carriage.
Feeling that her mission was successfully completed, Su Wan, who was wearing a red phoenix gown, took one last look at the scenery of the capital and immediately contacted the headquarters in her heart.
Mission 003 completed, requesting to return! Requesting to return!
Headquarters has received! Information was being transmitted … …
Every time, the time to return to headquarters was not fixed. Sometimes, the information was transmitted very quickly, leaving this world very quickly. The original owner's body also disappeared because of the dissipation of the soul.
Sometimes, the information transmission may be slow for one or two hours, but the slowest would not exceed twelve hours.
Thinking that today was her wedding, Su Wan thought that it would be best for her to directly disappear now, or a bit later, wait until after the ceremony and then disappear from the palace. If she was a bit unlucky and directly disappeared during the ceremony, then really … … there was no other way.
In the past, after Su Wan finished her mission in the modern world, she would find a safe place and then quietly disappear from the world. But now, she was protected by a group of elite guards, it seemed that wanting to leave was simply a fool's talk.
Just when Su Wan was tangled about the time to leave, the troops returning to the Imperial City suddenly stopped, followed by a burst of noisy fighting sounds.
There was actually someone who dared to stop the Empress' Phoenix carriage in the capital!
How audacious was that?!
Extremely daring?
Su Wan's heart suddenly shivered. She raised her hand and lifted the curtain in front of her. A corner of the red curtain was lifted and a familiar handsome face immediately fell into Su Wan's eyes.
"Su Rui!"
Su Wan was a bit surprised. When she was dressing up in the morning, Su Rui was still lying unconscious in her courtyard. Why did he suddenly … …
Meeting Su Wan's gaze, Su Rui revealed a strange and sinister smile at her. Then his figure flashed and in the next moment, Su Rui already arrived on Su Wan's Phoenix carriage.
Quietly staring at Su Wan's red makeup, Su Rui narrowed his eyes, his sinister expression suddenly became gentle: "You look very beautiful wearing these clothes."
Eh, he was distracted again.
Su Wan looked at Su Rui without batting an eyelid: "You woke up a long time ago?"
"No."
Su Rui shook his head. If he had woken up a long time ago, then Xuan Yuan Ye would definitely not have lived until today.
"Then you … …"
"I said before — —"
Su Rui moved closer to Su Wan and interrupted her: "I said before, whoever you want to marry, I will chop that person into pieces and feed them to the dogs. Xuan Yuan Ye is no exception."
"Then go chop him."
Su Wan raised her eyebrows at Su Rui.
"You want to lure me away?"
Su Rui still stared at Su Wan's face. At that moment, Su Wan suddenly had a feeling of being seen through.
How could he … …
Beep beep!
The information transfer was complete.
Su Wan's mind already started to ring with the headquarters' AI's voice —
Now carrying out the soul transfer.
"Su Wan!"
Su Rui's eyes suddenly reddened and he crazily pulled Su Wan into his embrace: "You're going to leave? You're not allowed to leave! I won't allow you to leave! "
He felt that she was going to leave.
Just like that day, when he felt that she was in danger, he immediately sobered up and instinctively hugged her tightly under his body.
Just like today, when he felt that he was going to lose her, the moment the wedding procession left Su fu, he woke up!
Just like now, he felt that she was going to leave, forever leave his life.
Su Wan didn't think that the youngster in front of her actually possessed a terrifying and excessive spiritual perception that ordinary people didn't have.
He's a good sapling!
If she can bring him back to headquarters, tsk tsk.
Su Wan felt a bit regretful because right now, her body had already started to become transparent.
Su Rui was completely indifferent to the horrifying scene in front of him. He only stubbornly hugged Su Wan until the last part of Su Wan's body disappeared from his embrace.
His embrace, empty.
He didn't think that she would still have to leave him.
As expected of a heartless woman.
Su Rui's gaze became darker and darker, so dark that it was somewhat paranoid and crazy … …
