I am the leader of the capital

The moonlight shrouded the Undead Mountains, and there were countless snakes entrenched outside the well, and the inside of the well was empty and deep.

The barren ground in the deepest part of the well was already stained red with blood, and the smell of blood slowly came out from the mouth of the well, and the snakes stretched their heads greedily to sniff the air.

After Yun Yazhi locked the iron ball, she looked at the hedgehog-like iron ball on the ground and suddenly smiled, with a wicked expression of teasing a fool.

A ray of moonlight casts a white circle in the cave, but there are many mottled and strange black shadows on the circle because of countless snakes stretching their heads to sniff at the mouth of the well.

In the depths of the cave, Yun Yazhi landed on a clean ground far away, and asked the giant snake, "Can you still walk?"

The giant snake's lantern-sized eyes are dim and its breath is weak. If it were placed on an ordinary snake, it would probably be on the verge of death, but this Yunze snake is a rare alien species, and it was captured by a genius lunatic for an experiment. Taste.

In order to ensure that he would not die, the lunatic fed it a lot of elixir, and then it escaped from the lunatic's imprisonment and secretly ate a small tree in the fairy country. Because it was unwilling to work for the fairy country, the fairy Many people in charge of the country were reluctant to kill it, and then they were imprisoned here.

It is estimated that there is absolutely no second strange beast in the world who has experienced such a legendary experience. Even after living for so many years, this Yunze snake is still full of vitality and does not have any sense of aging. It may only see dry bones, and most likely it may only see an old snake.

Unexpectedly, what I saw was a giant snake in the prime of life. According to Yun Yazhi's estimate, this snake must have mastered some good way to sleep, and it can live through the winter like ordinary snakes without eating or drinking. Dozens of hundreds of years of sleep like that.

The giant snake moved its head slightly, and the place on the forehead where Yun Yazhi's whip split and buried the iron ball was still bleeding. It tried hard to raise its head, but failed in the end.

Seeing this, Yun Yazhi pondered for a while, "Then I'll wait for you in this mountain for two days. If you still can't walk after two days, then you will die here."

The black giant snake is no longer as arrogant as before this time, and nodded slowly. It is afraid of Yun Yazhi to the core. The biggest reason why it survived back then was that others wanted its effectiveness and were reluctant to kill it. And this woman will really kill it if she disagrees, and doesn't care whether it will die or not.

It used to have bargaining chips, and those who could decide its life and death coveted its power and longed for its efficacy, so they would not really kill it; but now this kind of bargaining chip has long since disappeared, because others do not insist on it Strength is not enough, take it away if you are willing to surrender, kill it if you are not willing to surrender.

Feeling the foreign body on the head, the black snake looked at the woman with horror as she walked to the mouth of the well, which was like a figure above a fairy, and when the person left, countless blood and pieces of snake meat fell from the mouth of the well.

Finally, a faint voice echoed in the huge space underground: "I suggest you not to dismantle that ball easily, because you only have one chance, either dismantle it, or touch it by mistake and blow it up on the spot."

……

"Crash..."

The rain was hitting the roof of the carriage, and Lin Jinghuang in the carriage changed into a dazzling red python robe, with colorful ribbons showing a roaring and majestic four-toed dragon python on the back. She is the eldest princess of the empire, a prince.

"Who's here?"

The imperial inner city under the heavy rain was mixed with the night, and the guards could only hear the sound of the wheels of the carriage on the ground, but it was difficult to distinguish the carriage from the night and the downpour.

"Princess Jinghuang's Mansion." The maid in the carriage reported, and the carriage arrived at Qianyuan's gate while speaking.

On such a heavy rainy night, the guards were all energized, all the knives in their hands were out of their sheaths, a man who looked like a small captain walked to the side of the carriage, and confirmed by the light that it was the carriage of Jinghuang Diji, but the chief guard still opened his mouth and said : "Please let the eldest princess reveal the responsibilities of the humble job, and I hope the princess will understand."

The small curtain of the carriage opened, revealing Lin Jinghuang's dignified and elegant face. The guard looked carefully to confirm that it was not someone else's disguise, then pushed it away, and ordered the guard behind him, "Open the door."

A group of guards trotted to open the door.

Lin Jinghuang put down her hand, the curtain was closed, and the carriage went straight to the queen's bedroom.

In the magnificent palace, the court lady respectfully walked up to the queen who was resting with her eyes closed and said, "Queen, the princess is here."

Although she is not young, the queen still doesn't look old. She is dressed in a bright yellow palace attire, and when she turns around, she sees Lin Jinghuang coming in from the door.

The room was burning with calming incense, Lin Jinghuang took two steps, and saluted the queen, "The child has seen the queen."

"Jinghuang, come quickly to the queen mother."

Seeing Lin Jinghuang, the queen immediately smiled. These days, she has been thinking about Lin Jinghuang's affairs. She only has one child, Lin Jinghuang, and has no other heirs, so she is even more worried.

In this royal family, she still has status now, but when the new emperor ascends the throne, everything will change drastically. According to the ancestral system, the new emperor will still call her queen mother, but it is not how much the people born by him can treat him What about respect?Apart from herself, the future of her only daughter also makes her think about tea and food these days.

The next emperor is nothing more than one of those few princes, but these princes and Lin Jinghuang do not have much family relationship, each has its own mother, except for various large-scale banquets, it may not be possible in three or two months. Meet once, what kind of affection can there be between each other?
For the royal family, the greatest value of a princess is marriage. After the new emperor ascends the throne, Lin Jinghuang's value is still marriage, but her background is higher, her appearance is better, her talent is higher, and her value is even greater.

For the new emperors who don't have any family relationship to make contact with each other, interests are the biggest appeal. As long as the interests are maximized, even if Lin Jinghuang is married to an old man who is half buried in the soil, he must have no eyesight. Will blink, at that time Lin Jinghuang didn't have any weight to resist.

But it's different now, the emperor is Lin Jinghuang's father, the queen is Lin Jinghuang's mother, and the two most noble dolls in the world hold her in the palm of their hands. Lin Jinghuang has too many choices for her marriage, and the benefits Maximization is definitely not the biggest pursuit of Lin Jinghuang's marriage.

Empress Xu thought that before the death of the old emperor, she must finalize the most suitable husband-in-law candidate for Lin Jinghuang. If she chooses at this time, she must have more room than after the new emperor ascends the throne. In recent days, some ministers have suggested that Lin Jing The emperor also told her about Huang's proclaiming emperor. Although she is Lin Jinghuang's biological mother, she is not optimistic about this matter.

The resistance for a woman to be in power is too great, and there are too many things to face. No one will support her except those from other aristocratic families, but as long as she is supported by the aristocratic families, in a sense, she is directly opposite the royal family. In Empress Xu's view, it is far more important to fight for the throne than to find someone who can protect her.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. The queen mother seems to be a little haggard." Lin Jinghuang looked at the eyes of Empress Xu's doting, and said with concern.

Empress Xu pulled Lin Jinghuang to sit down on the couch, patted Lin Jinghuang's hand lightly and said: "Really? Mother has been very worried about your affairs these days."

Jue Se, who was wearing a red boa robe, didn't say anything, just lowered her head slightly, and said after a long time: "Let the empress worry about it."

"You are my daughter, of course I have to make plans for you." Empress Xu waved her hand, and all the maids retreated, leaving only two people in the room.

Empress Xu lowered her voice and said, "What do you think about your proclaiming yourself emperor?"

"I don't have any ideas, I don't care much about power." Lin Jinghuang shook her head, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Someone bought my life in the black market."

"Bang!" Empress Xu slammed the table, with veins popping up on her forehead. After being an empress for so many years, the woman was angry, feeling like the world was about to collapse, and said coldly: "What?"

"The emperor is here!

The eunuch dragged his voice for a long time to appear in the empress' bedroom, Lin Jinghuang got up to greet her, but Empress Xu sat still.

"I have seen my father."

Lin Jinghuang bowed to the emperor, and some old emperors reached out to help Lin Jinghuang and then pulled her into the house, "Where is your mother?"

Lin Jinghuang whispered softly: "The queen mother is in the house."

The two turned around from the long corridor and walked into the queen's bedroom. The emperor looked at the angry face of the person beside the pillow for many years, smiled and said to Lin Jinghuang: "What's wrong? Jinghuang is not the most obedient Did you make your mother angry?"

Empress Xu raised her eyes a little, looked coldly at the eunuch who was following the emperor, and said in an indifferent way: "He is your good son."

The emperor's complexion suddenly turned ugly, and he looked at Lin Jinghuang, "What's wrong?"

"My name appeared on the black market, and someone bought my life." Lin Jinghuang expressed this matter indifferently, without any tone, without any emotion.

The emperor's complexion suddenly became ugly, the smile on his face when he came here had long since disappeared, he gritted his teeth tightly, and involuntarily exerted some strength while holding Lin Jinghuang's hand.

The silent emperor walked to the empress's side and sat down. He didn't say anything for a long time. Empress Xu couldn't say anything more when she saw this, and said to the door: "Come here, prepare the dishes."

There was a promise outside the door, and after a while, the maids with all kinds of dishes came in one after another. When everything was ready, seeing the queen's face, the court ladies and eunuchs disappeared again wisely.

"You son of a bitch."

After the emperor finished speaking, he sighed deeply, obviously he knew who it was without asking.

King Yi, the son of the slanted sword, knew that he was powerless against the prince, but he couldn't let go of the emperor's throne, so he turned his attention to countless powerful families who were at odds with the royal family. In the eyes of the emperor, those so-called local wealthy families Originally, he didn't obey the emperor's order, and he was obedient and obedient. The biggest difference from the rebels was that he didn't tear his skin openly with the empire.

King Yi wants the throne but lacks his own strength. Many of these forces have been accumulated for countless years. Appearing is really in line with the wishes of the public. With the support of countless aristocratic families, King Yi instantly gained a foothold.

Now even the emperor admits that he cannot easily defeat King Yi, or that it is easy to defeat King Yi, but he is not willing to bear the consequences, because the empire is no longer what it used to be, and it does not have the ability to crush everyone in all directions The strength of King Yi is the hope of many aristocratic families. Once King Yi is taken down by the emperor, it is very likely that it will be the fuse of the world war.

The queen also understood, so she didn't say too much, because even if she knew that King Yi was King Yi and heard something, she felt the threat from Lin Jinghuang, so did she have too many ideas about killing her.

Empress Xu called out to eat, and the three of them sat together thoughtfully.
