Jiang Yu raised his lips coldly: "I have already cured the poison. Everything that happened before was just for you to see. If you want to watch the show, I will act with you so that you won't be too bored. I might as well tell you that I knew you would lead people to escape and bury the soldiers here. Today, you will never leave this city gate."

Jiang Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Yun Shuning.

Seems like he figured something out.

Yun Shuning met his gaze without fear. Jiang Chen understood everything from her eyes and laughed wildly: "It's God's will, God's will! It turned out that you helped him to detoxify! No wonder, no wonder."

He laughed louder and louder until he almost cried.

"I have planned everything, but I just missed you. It is really God's will. Even God doesn't want me to win, but I don't believe in fate. I want to change my fate!"

bang——

The sword blades broke through the air with the sound of a gust of wind, collided and separated, with the force of lightning and filled with murderous aura.

At the same time, fierce fighting broke out between the armies of both sides. The roars and the sounds of swords mixed together, and the sound reached the sky.

As time passed, Jiang Chen's army was defeated under the powerful offensive of the Yi family army.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and stared at Jiang Yu and Yun Shuning with a cold gaze. The sword in his hand shone even more swiftly and fiercely, and every move was filled with desperate murderous intent.

However, Jiang Yu was very skilled and fought steadily, countering his attacks one by one.

The sword light rolled from the horse to the ground, fierce and brutal, difficult to distinguish.

Yun Shuning, who had already mastered Yun Sheng's martial arts book, cooperated with Jiang Yu tacitly. He often took action at critical moments and forced Jiang Chen's killer moves back in an instant.

After several rounds, Jiang Chen had already shown signs of decline. Just when Jiang Yu was about to subdue him, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His eyes fell on the long sword that Yun Shuning was thrusting at him, and he thrust it upwards to meet it.

A "chi" sound.

The long sword pierced his chest, and the gushing blood instantly dyed a large area of ​​his clothes red.

Yun Shuning's eyes widened in shock, and the sword in his hand shook unconsciously: "You..."

Blood was oozing from the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, but his face showed an unprecedented sense of relief.

"That's great. I died in your hands in the end. It can be considered that God has treated me well."

The vision in front of him gradually blurred, and Jiang Chen pulled a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.

He was proud of himself and had been taught since childhood to aim for the highest position. He had never considered matters of love between men and women and even disdained and despised them.

But the appearance of Yun Shuning broke all this.

His chess game and his heart were in chaos.

Unfortunately, he realized it too late, too late.

Yun Shuning pursed her lips and said nothing. Jiang Yu quickly pulled her into his arms and covered her eyes.

Jiang Chen fell down, and his blood spread out in red spots. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed among the red plums, and finally stopped in the direction of Yun Shuning, becoming completely gray.

When the rebels who were still fighting hard saw that King Chen was dead, they immediately lost their backbone and were quickly defeated. They all threw away their weapons and armor and knelt down towards Jiang Yu.

After Jiang Yu sent Yun Shuning back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he went to the palace to report to Emperor Jingsheng.

When Emperor Jingsheng learned that Jiang Chen was dead, his eyes turned red, but he said nothing. He just waved his hand and asked Jiang Yu to leave.

In just less than half a month, his two sons rebelled one after another. Even though he was accustomed to life and death, and knew that since ancient times, the throne was mostly accompanied by fratricide, it was hard not to feel sad for an emperor.

Jiang Yu looked at the closed palace door, his wide sleeves hanging down, and stood in silence for a long time.

Chen Zhao stood behind him and said softly, "My Lord, Eunuch Li sent a message saying that everything is ready and they are waiting for you."

A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, and he turned and walked away.

……

In the cold palace, Concubine An smashed everything around her in despair, screaming and roaring to vent her anger and pain.

The mottled and dilapidated walls were covered with traces of her smashing and throwing things, and broken porcelain and debris were scattered on the ground, reflecting a bleak light in the night.

Concubine An's face was pale. She was crying and laughing at the same time, and her eyes were full of madness, as if she had lost all her sanity.

Just as she was about to throw the porcelain bottle in her hand against the wall again, the tightly closed door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in, bringing in a chilly chill.

Jiang Yu stood at the door in a black robe, staring at her with hawk-like eyes.

Concubine An stopped her movements involuntarily. She stared at Jiang Yu in a daze. Suddenly, she screamed and rushed forward regardless of anything. Her fingernails were sharp as she grabbed his face. "You bitch, you are just as much of a bitch as your mother. Why don't you die? Why are you still alive? Give me back my Chen'er, give me back my Chen'er!"

She screamed crazily, hatred surging in her eyes, but before she could get close to Jiang Yu, she was pinned to the ground by two eunuchs.

"Noble Concubine An, you cannot be presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness Prince Rui." Eunuch Li shouted in a shrill voice.

Concubine An was pinned to the ground, her hair crown askew, and she spat at Eunuch Li: "You dog slave, when I get out of here, I will beat you to death first!"

Eunuch Li glanced at her coldly and sneered, "Your Highness should pay more attention to yourself."

"What do you mean?" Concubine An stopped struggling, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled.

She turned her gaze to Jiang Yu, her eyes full of resentment: "I know, it was the emperor who asked you to come. Tell me, was it poisoned wine or white silk?"

Jiang Yu did not answer, but looked directly into her eyes and said coldly: "It was you who poisoned my queen mother, right?"

As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Concubine An laughed out loud: "At this point, you are still asking such a naive question. I really think highly of you. That's right, it was me who poisoned you! The poisons for you and Concubine Xi were carefully developed by me. How is it? Doesn't it taste good?"

Without waiting for Jiang Yu to answer, she continued, "Who is Concubine Xi? Why can she have all the favor of the emperor? What I can't get, she can't get! The most ridiculous thing is that you actually think that I can't compete with her. I don't bother to compete with her! It's just a man's love. As long as I use the poison, everyone in the world will fall for me, but I don't want to."

She smiled, but tears came down her face.

She really didn't want to, she didn't want to. How could she, who was so proud and arrogant, admit that she would actually lose to that woman Xi Fei? So no matter how her brother advised her, she was unwilling to poison him.

She couldn't believe that her delicate figure couldn't make the emperor fall in love with her sincerely.

Unfortunately, she was wrong.

Concubine An was being pressed down, looking up at Jiang Yu: "Do you know why I didn't kill Concubine Xi at once like I did with the other imperial concubines?"
