The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Only when a person truly faces death will he be able to face calmly the things he cares most about in his life.

When Xie Yuantang's dagger was about to slash Situ Mo's throat, he heard him say, "It would be great if I were your fifth brother."

"what?"

The dagger stopped one centimeter away from his throat, and Xie Yuantang had a strange expression on his face.

She felt that she couldn't understand what Situ Mo was saying!

She didn't care what Situ Mo thought, but he mentioned Situ Yan.

Xie Yuantang was allergic to Situ Yan's name and title. She didn't want to miss any information and make Situ Yan sad, so she decided to give this dead man another chance to speak.

Situ Mo glanced at the dagger hanging around his neck, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "You really only care about him."

He kept coughing up blood. Xie Yuantang judged from the sound of his voice and the color of the blood that his body was already failing. Even if she didn't kill him, he wouldn't survive for more than a few years.

Situ Mo looked at the blood on his palm, jealousy flashing in his eyes: "I have been jealous of my fifth brother since I was a child. If I could, I would like to exchange lives with him."

"He is also my father's son, and he is also weak, but why does my father favor him? Why does even God help him? Why does he have the opportunity to change his fate?"

He looked at Xie Yuantang, almost unable to control his suppressed hatred: "Even you chose him!"

"Xie Yuantang, why do you only see the hardships in his life, but not see that I am also struggling? Why do you do your best to help him get everything, but you are dismissive of me?"

Xie Yuantang listened to his crazy talk and roughly understood why this man ignored so many good brothers and always attacked Situ Yan.

With similar background and childhood, Situ Yan was able to change his fate, but he could only struggle forward in the quagmire of fate.

He wanted to get Xie Yuantang, not out of love, but out of jealousy and greed.

He saw that Xie Yuantang was the noble man who changed Situ Yan's destiny, so he also wanted to snatch this noble man away, but Xie Yuantang would rather teach a fool how to read and speak than make friends with him easily.

He might have thought about changing, but there was no Xie Yuantang around him to help him.

Situ Mo's voice was hoarse: "It's you...it's you who forced me to this path!"

Xie Yuantang's eyes were slightly cold, and his voice was extremely indifferent: "It was not Situ Yan who made you sick, nor was it him who forced you to take on the responsibility of the White Emperor, nor was it him who inflicted pain on you. The person who caused your misfortune was never him."

This was the first time that Xie Yuantang had talked so much nonsense to someone before killing someone. She just couldn't bear to see Situ Yan being wronged, even if he didn't know about it at all, even if he was about to die, she had to make it clear.

"I didn't choose him, he chose me."

At first, she planned to hold on for a while and save Leng Yunwan before leaving. It was her silly husband's protection and trust in her that made her stay.

"Situ Mo, it's not like I haven't given you a chance before, more than once."

She had not forgotten that night when she fled from the palace to his courtyard and it was he who helped her block the guards.

What she met that night was a majestic snow-capped mountain, but later she found out that this snow-capped mountain was stained with dust and dirt.

Xie Yuantang looked at Situ Mo and said seriously: "Perhaps you still remember what I said. If you keep your promise, I promised you that we will let bygones be bygones."

"You blame the heavens and the earth, and hate me for helping my husband instead of you, but have you ever believed in me? If you were willing to wait for six years, if you were willing to tell me your life story honestly, how do you know I wouldn't help you?"

Situ Mo was slightly stunned.

Xie Yuantang said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I came to kill you today instead of Situ Yan or Situ Xu? Because they all still remember the third brother. No one has failed you. The one who really failed you is you."

Situ Mo was stunned. He had never had a heart-to-heart talk with anyone, so he didn't know that Xie Yuantang viewed him this way. It turned out that his brothers didn't hate him to the core.

It turns out that the things he had always envied and pursued were always there, but he was blind and couldn't see them.

Situ Mo forced himself into an extremely ugly smile, not knowing whether to blame God for being too cruel or himself for being too stupid.

But no matter who he blames, it can't change the ending.

He took a deep breath. He had nothing else to ask or say, and his arms, which had been resisting, relaxed.

Xie Yuantang's hand holding the dagger tightly did not relax at all, and he just said: "I'm sorry, you have exhausted my trust. I will only feel relieved if someone like you dies."

She exerted force with her wrist, the dagger flashed coldly, and cut Situ Mo's throat.

In the last moment of light, Situ Mo looked intently at the person who killed him.

He thought, maybe he was just jealous that Situ Yan had the chance to be redeemed.

Unfortunately, this ray of light of salvation only belongs to his fifth brother.

If there is an afterlife...

If people like him could have an afterlife, he would like to try to become that light...

Blood flowed down the dragon throne. Xie Yuantang looked at Situ Mo, who was lying on the side with his eyes closed forever. He put away the dagger with a stern face, but his slightly furrowed brows never relaxed.

The big boss behind the scenes finally died, but...

The people they had dinner with could never get together again.

There was a knock on the door outside, and a "click" sound. Xie Yuantang waved his hand and asked the carnivorous plants and crazy growing vines to open the door of the hall and let the zombies in.

She temporarily put Situ Mo's body into the laboratory, ordered the zombies to clean up the place, and then she turned around to find Situ Yan.

-

From the time they entered the palace to the end of the battle, the entire process took no more than an hour.

Before Situ Mo's soldiers could even react, their superior had been replaced.

What's more, Shen Cen and others were on high alert outside the palace, and Xie Yuantang's zombie army was inside the palace. With such a huge disparity between the enemy and us, few people wanted to resist. The few who were not honest had their necks twisted by the zombies as soon as they moved.

As a result, the process of suppressing the rebellion went very smoothly. When Situ Qing and others came out of Lanyuan, the palace had already been stabilized. Wherever they went, people knelt and shouted "Long live the rebellion".

Situ Qing had a complicated expression. He didn't expect that after six years, he, the retired emperor, would become the emperor again.

Concubine Li was a little uncomfortable, and whispered to Concubine Xian: "Sister, we have been concubines for several years, and now we are concubines again?"

Concubine Xian was also feeling awkward. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Concubine Li muttering in a low voice, "I wonder how many years I can be in office this time."

Concubine Xian: “…” Sister, you are really good at talking.

Situ Qing urgently summoned old ministers such as Yan Guanqing to the palace to deal with these troublesome matters. On the other side, Situ Ran had to help to clean up the mess in a wheelchair. Situ Xu ran inside and outside, detaining Situ Mo's subordinates one by one. Even Concubine Li and Concubine Xian were busy tidying up the harem.

When they finally finished their work temporarily, it was already past noon. The emperor, who hadn't been this busy in six years, rubbed his brows, looked around and asked, "Where are Lao Wu and Yuan Tang?"

Qu Pei: "...left early, saying he was going to see Master Yan."

Situ Qing's beard was twitching, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "After making such a big fuss, they just walked away like that? When did they leave?"

Situ Ran sighed: "They left when you sat down, Father."

Situ Qing: “…”
