About an hour later, there was a faint sound of fighting outside.

Shen Ruzhou was too lazy to listen, so he covered his ears and hid in Bei Xiuyan's arms to sleep. Bei Xiuyan stretched out his long arm, covered her head, and said warmly, "Go to sleep. After tonight, tomorrow will be a different world."

As midnight approached, the sound of fighting gradually subsided, and the palace of Prince Wucheng was filled with corpses in deathly and hideous shapes, with blood flowing across the ground, staining the ground red.

In the garden, all of King Yu's people were dead, only Xiao Chenyan and King Yu were facing each other.

King Yu held a dagger in his hand and put it against Mu Wanqing's neck. His eyes were crazy and desperate. Xiao Chenyan looked at him coldly, as if looking at a dying prey.

"Let Wanqing go, and I can consider saving your life." Xiao Chenyan's voice was cold and firm.

However, King Yu seemed not to hear his words, and just shouted to himself, "One of you is lying to me with false feelings, and the other is harming me at all costs. I will drag you to die together." His voice was full of emotion. Despair and madness.

He tightened the dagger on Mu Wanqing's neck. A red mark was immediately drawn on the fresh and fair skin, and blood beads dripped down from the tip of the knife.

Mu Wanqing opened her eyes wide in shock and did not dare to express her anger.

Xiao Chenyan sneered, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the sword, "Brother Emperor, why am I not as lucky as you? My mother was born in a humble family, and I have not been favored since I was a child. I have been looked down upon so much, so I can only use my best efforts." , only by taking step by step can you get what you want.”

"Despicable, you are an out-and-out villain, a beast." King Yu cursed loudly, his body shaking uncontrollably because of his anger.

When Xiao Chenyan saw this, he showed the pride of a superior, and said coldly and arrogantly: "If you succeed and lose, everyone will only say that you, Prince Yu, are an unfaithful and unfilial person."

Hearing this, King Yu's crazy look suddenly dissipated at this moment. He looked at Xiao Chenyan coldly, his voice seemed to come from hell, and was filled with chills, ""Xiao Chenyan, do you think you won? I want you to be buried with me! Let this Wucheng Prince's Mansion become our tomb! "

As he said that, he pushed Mu Wanqing away, took out the fire seal from his body, blew on it, and threw it on the boxes stacked next to him.

Something happened suddenly, and Xiao Chenyan had no time to stop him. He quickly realized that those boxes were filled with explosives. He shouted, "Not good." He quickly raised his arms to protect his head and face.

One breath,

Two breaths,

……

Everyone held their breath, but the expected explosion did not come.

Xiao Chenyan was feinted by King Yu, and was so angry that his temples jumped and the veins on his forehead popped out. He was going to kill the person himself with a knife in his hand.

"stop."

At this moment, a high-pitched shouting sound broke through the air, exploding like thunder in the night sky. The Imperial Guards flew down from the eaves in all directions, like black lightning, instantly surrounding the courtyard.

Xiao Chenyan looked around and soon saw a bright yellow figure. He was shocked, and quickly dropped his sword and knelt down to salute, "My son, I see you, father."

The Imperial Guards consciously made way for them, and Emperor Yong'an walked out with steady steps, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his whole body carried a chilling and murderous aura.

Emperor Yong'an glanced back and forth between Xiao Chenyan and Prince Yu, and finally said coldly: "You are really my good son." His voice revealed deep disappointment and anger.

Then, his eyes fell on King Yu who was lying motionless on the ground, "And you, if I hadn't changed the gunpowder in advance, would you have planned to kill Chen Yan with you?" Emperor Yong'an's tone was full of ridicule. and chill.

However, King Yu was still lying on the ground without any response. His body seemed to have lost consciousness, letting the cold wind howl by, taking away the last trace of warmth from his body.

The guard approached and turned King Yu over, only to see that he had a dagger stuck in his heart and was dead.

The dagger belonged to King Yu, so everyone naturally believed that King Yu accidentally stabbed him to death.

Only Mu Wanqing, who was kneeling aside, lowered her head and closed her eyes, covering the fierce look under her eyes with her eyelids.

Seeing the sibling fight and the tragic death of his son, Emperor Yong'an felt a chill in his heart. The Supreme Emperor had just passed away, his body still cold, and now he had lost another son.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why the emperors were said to be lonely and lonely, and it was so cold at high places.

He stared at Xiao Chenyan with his eyes. He heard clearly what their brothers said just now. It turned out that all these years of brotherhood, brotherhood, and filial piety were just a means to win the throne.

"When the funeral of the Supreme Emperor is over, you can go to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning." Emperor Yong'an gave the order coldly.

Xiao Chenyan raised his head in shock. Keeping one's filial piety sounds nice, but in fact it means being deposed. He will be deprived of all authority and spend his days guarding the imperial mausoleum.

He was unwilling to give in, but looking at the look on Emperor Yong'an's face, he knew that once he asked for mercy, he would only be punished more severely.

His Adam's apple rolled, he leaned down with difficulty, kowtowed and said, "My son, I obey."

Seeing that he was quite sensible, Emperor Yong'an snorted coldly, then pointed at Mu Wanqing and said, "How do you think the prince should deal with this woman?"

Xiao Chenyan lowered his head and said without a trace of emotion in his voice, "She is Princess Yu. My father can handle her as she pleases. I don't dare to say anything."

"Take him out and hang him." Emperor Yong'an issued the order. Under the emperor's majesty, even the eloquent Mu Wanqing seemed to be mute and allowed the eunuch to drag him down without even daring to beg for mercy.

The eunuch dragged her all the way to a deserted garden. The little eunuch took the white silk and wrapped it around her neck. He pulled hard with both hands. Mu Wanqing struggled hard, but she heard the eunuch whisper: "Miss, I won't kill you. You pretend to die, and I will see you off later." go out."

Only then did Mu Wanqing calm down and take a closer look at the little eunuch's face. This was the spy she had placed in the palace before, and she was kind to him.
