then Li Sao

When Luo Ping returned to the palace, Zhou Heng was frantically looking for him.

It was heard that King Ning wanted to sneak into the palace to hold the emperor hostage, and it was also rumored that King Yue was about to break into the palace, and people were panicking everywhere.The guards' strict defense and stepped up patrols made the entire palace even more depressing.

When the eunuch in front of Zhenyang Hall saw Luo Ping, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears: "Lord Luo, you are here! You don't know, if we don't see you again, the emperor will go out of the palace to look for it!"

Luo Ping signaled him to be calm: "Is the emperor alone inside?"

The eunuch replied: "No, there is also Concubine Yao."

Luo Ping nodded, and reported loudly: "My minister, Luo Ping, please see me."

There was a quick reply from inside: "Come in!"

Luo Ping stepped into the hall, only to see Concubine Yao kneeling on the ground, her gorgeous dress crumpled into many folds on the stone slab, her expression was mournful, as if she was begging for something just now.

"Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Luo Qing doesn't need to salute anymore, tell me quickly what's going on outside!"

Luo Ping didn't answer directly, he looked at Concubine Yao and said: "Although the concubine is in a deep palace, her elder brother is a first-rank official in the court, and the news is well-informed, and the empress must have stated it to Your Majesty. Why doesn't Your Majesty listen to it?" What about your mother's advice?"

Zhou Heng was silent for a while, and said with a sullen face: "Luo Qing said that, it seems that the matter has really reached an irreparable situation. I know that Yaoyao is thinking for my sake, but how can I abandon the city and escape? This is Yongjun , is a coward's approach!"

"In the past few years, Your Majesty has been worried. There are thorns on the dragon chair. Your Majesty is still young. It is not worth burying your life for such a dragon chair. As long as you are still a member of the Zhou family if you are on the throne , you have the possibility of surviving, and even the hope of resetting."

Zhou Heng shook his head: "This world was handed over to me by the emperor's grandfather. His old man has planned so much for me. How can I live up to his expectations!"

"His Majesty……"

"Luo Qing, I heard that Aunt Zhaorong died for her husband in the city? She is so fearless as a girl, how can my majestic king be so selfish and steal her life!"

"Your Majesty, just listen to Master Luo's advice! Since you can't afford such wealth and wealth, then don't steal it! Let's escape from the palace and live a peaceful and happy life, isn't it?"

"Yaoyao, stop talking!"

Concubine Yao wanted to persuade her again, but suddenly she heard the eunuch's sharp voice from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The commander of the imperial guards asked to see him, saying that Ning, King Ning has rushed into the palace!"

Zhou Heng was stunned: "Pass my will and capture King Ning alive!"

Luo Ping sighed softly, he knew that Zhou Heng might never see his Second Emperor Uncle again.

King Ning was captured and killed in Chaoyang Palace.

When Zhou Heng heard the news, he said angrily, "I said I would capture him alive! How dare the imperial guards resist the order!"

The commander of the imperial guards was sweating profusely: "Reporting to the emperor, that team of imperial guards did not obey orders for some reason, and the subordinates failed to control them well, so they are willing to be punished!"

"Punishment? What's the use of punishing you now! What about the team, what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, please listen to my words." Luo Ping said, "The imperial guards have probably changed their judgment. If I am not mistaken, they are the old Nanshan Army left by the King of Yue three years ago. This move has caused Xiao Qiang's pawn, It's already been laid out."

After hearing this, Zhou Heng was stunned for a while, then sat down slumped: "Uncle Seventh Emperor... really powerful, I am not as good as him... not as good as him..."

Someone came to report again, saying that the guard rebels had come to the Zhenyang Hall.The commander of the imperial guards suddenly changed his face, and immediately led his men to intercept it.

However, Luo Ping knew that Fang Jin's "Capture the King" army was so easy to stop.

There were only three people left in the hall, and they returned to silence.

Zhou Heng covered his face, and tears flowed from his fingers: "But once I die, I, Zhou Heng, will go to the Nine Springs to plead guilty to the emperor. Luo Qing, you can take Yaoyao out of the palace."

Looking at this kind and hopeless little emperor, Luo Ping felt a sense of loss in his heart. He walked forward and said slowly, "Your Majesty, don't take your own life and death too lightly...You are alive, which is a kind of bravery."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and stabbed Zhou Heng's back neck.

Zhou Heng felt a sharp pain and looked up at him in disbelief, but passed out before he could see clearly.

Concubine Yao's whisper was stopped by Luo Ping's eyes.

Luo Ping said: "According to the previous arrangement, take him out of the palace. I will go to see him later and personally apologize."

Concubine Yao replied: "Okay, Master Luo, take care."

A black-clothed guard came down from nowhere, stripped off the little emperor's conspicuous clothes, left behind the corpse of a boy who was similar in stature, and carried him out with Concubine Yao.

Luo Ping and Fang Jin met face to face.

Fang Jin stared dumbfounded at the Zhenyang Hall behind him which had become a ruin.

Luo Ping said: "Prince Ning ordered people to set fire to intercept the emperor, the emperor was flustered, trapped in the palace and failed to come out, he died in the fire."

There was a strong smell of burning in the air.

Fang Jin was dumb: "Mu Quan, you..." Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?

Luo Ping lit up the silver needle in his hand: "Zhongli don't want to compete with me for the credit." I have to explain everything to Zhou Tang.

Fang Jin was helpless.

He could almost imagine that King Yue was furious, asking Luo Ping if he really had an affair with the little emperor.

Who can solve this mess?

When Zhou Tang led his army into the palace to seize the throne, Luo Ping went to a small temple in the suburban mountains.

This courtyard was donated to several Zen masters when he opened the wine shop. At his request, the Zen masters agreed to house one person for him in the future.

Today, that promise has been fulfilled.

When he knocked on the door and entered, a Zen master uttered the Buddha's name and said four words to him: "Dependent Origination, Dependent Destruction."

Zhou Heng had already woken up, but he looked at him with complicated eyes, including shock, anger, and resentment.

Zhou Heng questioned him: "You treat me well just to betray me one day?!"

Luo Ping shook his head: "I want to treat you well because you are Zhou Heng. However, I cannot keep your throne as a king. I owe you this. You can hate me as much as you want."

"Why? Why did you betray me?"

"I'm sorry, because the person I like likes this country."
