The guards received the order and went forward to capture Li Cheng and Song Zhi.
Neither of them struggled.
Li Cheng's eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief as he looked at Li Qiao. He furrowed his brows and asked carefully, "Why?"
Li Qiao looked serious and did not answer.
He just pointed at Song Zhi with his chin.
He ordered, "Take him away and lock him up."
"Yes!"
In fact, Song Zhi did not understand what was going on. He was completely confused about his current situation.
He looked at Li Cheng in confusion and called out, "Crown Prince Cheng?"
There was no fear in his voice, but confusion.
After Song Zhi was taken away, Li Qiao signaled the guards to release Li Cheng and said in a warning tone, "Ah Cheng, what happened tonight has nothing to do with you. Leave the palace immediately and don't care about anything else."
Li Cheng stared at him, "Why are you doing this?"
He was obsessed with the reason.
Li Qiao did not want to say more, "I told you to leave the palace, so leave the palace. Don't ask!"
"I'm asking you why!" Li Cheng roared and then grabbed Li Qiao's collar excitedly. He asked with a flushed face, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Li Qiao was very calm in the face of the questioning. He looked at Li Cheng's burning eyes and said, "I'll say it again. Leave the palace immediately and pretend that nothing happened just now."
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Or do you think I'm deaf? Blind? "
"…"
Li Cheng restrained his impulsive emotions and quickly calmed himself down. He took a deep breath and persuaded, "Brother, I don't care what your reason is, but it's not too late to stop."
"No one can stop it!" Li Qiao told him.
"That's rebellion and regicide, a capital crime!" "Enough!" Li Qiao pushed him away and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Now, everything inside and outside the palace has been arranged carefully. When the time comes, everything will be done according to plan. You don't have to say anymore and persuade me. I'll say it again.
Leave the palace immediately. "
He had made up his mind to kill the king.
It definitely wouldn't stop because of this. When Li Cheng heard these words, he staggered two steps and came to a sudden realization. He sneered and said, "I finally know why Father insisted that I enter the Ministry of Justice back then. It turns out that from the beginning to the end, you guys had already planned it all along. You've always been using me.
Me. "
At this moment, he was no longer angry.
His heart was extremely cold!
What kinship?
Blood is thicker than water?
In order to achieve their goals, they did not hesitate to deceive and use others!
He originally wanted to persuade Li Qiao to stop in time, but now it seemed that when power and ambition took over a person's everything, the so-called "repent and be saved" and "realize the error of your ways" were simply a big joke!
Although Li Qiao was a little touched by Li Cheng's accusation, he couldn't care less about his family and Li Cheng's emotions right now.
He had to look at the bigger picture.
Moreover, he only had the right to execute all these plans!
No right to terminate!
"Ah Cheng, I don't have time to explain so much to you. Hurry up and leave."
"If I don't leave, will you kill me?"
"…" Li Qiao clenched his fists. Li Cheng sneered, "That year, in order to separate sister and Du Mubai, you and Father clearly knew that he was wrongly accused, but you didn't say anything! You caused sister to live like a ghost for six whole years, and now you're using me. How ironic! "
Li Qiao's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt.
A trace of guilt flashed in Li Qiao's eyes.
But it was fleeting!
He shifted his gaze and forced himself to be ruthless. He ordered, "Guards, bring the heir out of the palace and keep a close eye on him."
"Yes!"
The guards once again captured Li Cheng.
Li Cheng struggled to no avail. Disheartened, he looked at his big brother with eyes full of disappointment.
He felt that he was a puppet!
He was a stepping stone for them to ascend to the center of power, a victim.
But when he understood everything, it was already too late …
Southern Marquis's mansion.
An urgent secret letter was sent to the mansion.
Marquis Nan was very excited after reading it.
He immediately gathered his men and gathered them outside the mansion.
They were ready to depart.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu was standing in the ancestral hall.
In front of her were the memorial tablets of the late king and empress.
She was supposed to be waiting in the bamboo house outside the city, but she had secretly entered the city with Jing Rong and the others three days ago.
She arrived at the Marquis's mansion.
She waited for the annual sacrifice.
A moment later, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Jing Rong entering the ancestral hall. He was standing in the courtyard.
He was dressed in black armor and had a long sword hanging from his waist. His handsome face was illuminated by the candlelight, giving him a heroic aura. His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes made him look even more valiant and formidable.
He was still the awe-inspiring god of war on the battlefield!
At this moment, snowflakes fluttered in the cold wind, fluttering on his head and shoulders …
That kind of man seemed to have walked out of a painting.
He stepped on the white snow and entered the ancestral hall.
He stood in front of Ji Yunshu.
"The annual sacrifice is about to begin."
Ji Yunshu looked up at him and pursed her lips. "You don't have to go."
"Since it's your business, I can't ignore it."
He could ignore everything, but when it involved Ji Yunshu, he couldn't ignore it.
Only this woman could make him willingly go through water and tread on fire for her.
Ji Yunshu stretched out her hand and touched the armor on his body. Her fingertips brushed past the hard and cold scales on the armor.
She felt a bone-piercing chill.
She wished that she could warm it up a little more.
She looked into Jing Rong's eyes and said, "Promise me that you will be careful. If you betray me, you must protect yourself."
"I will." Jing Rong held her hand on his chest and smiled faintly. He bent down and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
At this moment, fireworks bloomed in Gaoding City.
Colorful flames blossomed in the snow-filled night.
The entire sky was dyed red.
The scene was incomparably beautiful.
Jing Rong couldn't help but hold Ji Yunshu's hand tightly.
He said, "After today, everything will be fine, and we will be able to live our lives in peace."
Ji Yunshu's eyes reddened.
She nodded heavily.
Someone came to report, "Young Master Jing, the Marquis said that the time has come."
"Alright." Jing Rong replied.
Ji Yunshu held his hand and warned him again, "You must be careful."
He caressed Ji Yunshu's ice-cold face. "I said that I will be wherever you are. So, be obedient and wait for me here. I will be back before dawn."
'I will be wherever you are!'
What a precious promise.
She slowly let go and watched Jing Rong leave.
The snowflakes blocked her vision, and his figure became more and more blurry.
As long as he could get through tonight, everything would turn for the better.
She turned around and lit a stick of incense in the ancestral hall.
