Chapter 474

While talking, he suddenly turned and looked at the dark guard kneeling on the ground: "say! Why did it fail? Didn't you promise me that the plan was safe?"

The dark guard put his head on the gold brick and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... If everything was planned, there would be no such difference... But the king of Yan was on guard and deliberately confused our sight, creating the illusion that he was in the carriage! So he lured the best people in this trip and took the opportunity to shoot..."

King Yan's skill is extraordinary. Ordinary people can't get close at all, so they specially selected three top experts this time.

But the three men were the first to die under the arrow of the Yan king!

In this way, the next offensive is destined to be blunt.

Emperor Qingming gave a strange smile: "have you been prepared?"

His second brother... Had expected him to do it?

"That's right... Even though some of the soldiers and attendants of King Yan's residence seem ordinary, they are all elite. Even the coachman is an expert!"

"..." emperor Qingming's face turned blue.

This precaution is earlier than he thought

The dark guard then said, "in the back, when Ben still had a chance to succeed, suddenly a line of Xu's army stepped in!"

"What?"

Emperor Qingming's face was extremely cold for a moment: "Xu Jiajun?"

If Xu Qiwei is not in Beijing, who can send Xu Jiajun?!

"It's said that I happened to pass by here... I want to escort a group of thieves into the city..." I noticed the chill in the emperor's tone, and the voice of dark Wei was lower.

What happened?

Emperor Qingming's voice dropped abruptly and said with a sneer: "... Xu Qiwei is clearly not in Beijing and can hinder me. It's really haunting."

Then he looked at Xia Tingzhen: "teacher... Do you think it's time for me to get back Xu Jiajun's Amulet?"

Looking at the emperor's uncertain eyes, Xia Tingzhen said, "don't worry, your majesty. I believe there will be good news in the near future. At that time, it's just an easy task to remove the Yan king."

He had advised his majesty not to worry.

But his majesty is too afraid of the king of Yan. It seems that he has been suffering from heart disease for too long and has become a heart demon. He can't be treated calmly at all.

If this assassination fails, King Yan will be on guard.

Fortunately, the Duke of town has arranged everything in advance

Otherwise, just relying on your Majesty's headless fly like appearance, trying to set the current situation is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Xia Tingzhen despised it from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face.

Hearing Xia Tingzhen's words, Emperor Qingming slowly spit out a mouthful of turbid Qi, and his heart was a little calm. However, when he thought of the Yan King's face, his heart suddenly regenerates the angry Qi.

With a calm face, he suddenly pulled out the long sword hanging by the screen and waved it to the dark guard kneeling on the ground.

The sword fell on the dark guard's shoulder. The dark guard wanted to hide but didn't dare to hide. He was afraid to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare your life..."

One sword after another, until the dark guard stared and fell into a pool of blood, and there was no more attempt to struggle.

With a bang, the sword was thrown at his feet by Emperor Qingming.

Blood splashed on Xia Tingzhen's shoes and boots, which made him frown slightly.

The corpse was soon gathered down. The little eunuch on duty outside the imperial study looked earthy, but his eyes were repeated several times.

It was getting dark. The little eunuch left the heart nourishing hall. On the way back to his residence, he just walked with his head down and accidentally bumped into a gong-e.

This is an ordinary scene that has not been noticed by anyone.

Gong e returned to Yukun palace and handed a note to the queen.

The queen pursed her lips tightly.

The dog emperor is really going crazy

Previously, she got some news. Although she was not sure, she still handed out the letter and asked the king of Yan to take precautions. Now it seems that she is right.

In addition, this note also mentioned one point

The dog emperor and Xia Tingzhen also mentioned her elder sister's death. Obviously, there was another inside story

The queen clenched the note tightly in her hand, and a cold feeling appeared at the bottom of her eyes.

She entered the palace for the sake of family stability. Although her father didn't want to force her, as a Wu family daughter, she had some responsibilities to shirk - in addition to her responsibilities, another purpose of entering the palace was to find out the truth about sister a's death.

But after many years, all the people and things she could think of had long disappeared.

But this did not prevent her from getting closer to the truth step by step.

What happened in those years was originally the most suspected dog emperor. In addition, her understanding of the dog emperor over the years, combined with many old things, the answer was almost ready to come out.

At this time, if she said that the death of her eldest sister had nothing to do with the dog emperor, she wouldn't believe a word.

The queen lit the note on the candlestick and threw it into the censer.

As long as she is still in this palace, her responsibility will remain on her shoulders.

In the current situation, everyone is just a drop in the ocean. She has a lot to do and may be able to do very little. It should be noted that some people lose their lives or do the so-called useless work all their life.

But no one can say whether it is useless until the last minute.

The queen looked at the flickering candle and became a little distracted.

She still remembers that when she was young, she read the Lotus Sutra with him. He picked up his pen and copied one of the sentences. The font was vigorous and powerful, and it didn't look like words. She read softly and slowly aside: pass one lamp to all lights, and all lights will be bright in the end.

This is a sentence she has always remembered.

She doesn't have much ability. She's not the first to light the lamp.

But as one of the thousands of people who pass the lamp, I try my best to protect this one in my hand, and I can still do it.

If one day, when the darkness is gone, the lamp she holds may be completely insignificant, but it needs no attention.

I just don't know if she will burn out with the lamp in her hand at that time.

The candle is reflected in her eyes. There is no retreat and regret at the bottom of her eyes, but if she really wants to say, occasionally, she will have a little regret

Especially, I didn't even say goodbye to him

Later, I thought that such a move was really not interesting enough.

The flower cat ran over and rubbed the corner of her skirt.

The queen picked it up with a smile.

"God bless you... Would you mind reading with me for a while?"

The queen sat down with the cat in her arms and whispered.

……

The rain in Beijing stopped and fell until three days later.

That night, Xu Mingyi woke up from a nightmare.

"Grandpa!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, and even looked left and right in a panic. It was dark and chaotic. She lifted the thin quilt and opened the jade green gauze curtain.

A Zhu outside heard something and walked in quickly.

"Girl."

Ah Zhu lit the lamp and saw her girl sitting by the bed barefoot. There was a dense cold sweat on her jade white face, so she went over, crouched down and asked softly, "did the girl have a nightmare?"
