Xiao Jiwei sat against the wall, watching her go away.

It wasn't until Wen Xun'er disappeared that he clutched his chest suddenly, showing a painful expression.

Looking down, I saw the bow tied on the wrist. The snow-white straps were incompatible with this messy prison cell, like a star in the dark night, giving the night a brilliance.

He stretched out his hand to caress the bow tie like a treasure, and the bottom of his cold eyes softened quietly at this moment.

In the following time, Wen Xun'er asked people to stop the gunpowder, and stayed in the yard with peace of mind, following Xiao Jiwei's order, and did nothing.

Although Zhang Yuan was anxious, he didn't move anymore after receiving Xiao Jiwei's order. He just insisted on inquiring for news and obtaining the latest information from the court, so as to prepare for Xiao Jiwei's counterattack in the future.

The turning point of the matter was half a month later, on the day of the emperor's funeral.

At that time, all the tribal leaders came to Licheng to see the emperor off. On the day of the funeral, the sky was dark and the snow continued until the coffin was carried into the imperial mausoleum. Waiting for the funeral to be over.

Everything was developing in an orderly manner, so when there was a loud noise in the imperial mausoleum, and crows flew up all over the valley to cover the sky, everyone panicked.

"The ceremony of the national funeral, the crows cover the sun, great evil, great evil!"

I don't know who shouted, and then the whole crowd panicked.

Such ominous omens have only been seen in books, and no one has witnessed it with their own eyes. Therefore, when someone stopped the chanting mage and asked whether the "crows covering the sun" was an ominous omen, the mage kept pinching the beads, Eyes lowered, a face of pity: "Blessings come, disasters come, disasters come, blessings, Amitabha!"

As soon as this remark came out, although he did not give a positive answer, it was equivalent to agreeing with the "bad omen".Xiao Sheng stood up from the ground, looked at his subordinates, and immediately someone went to the valley to investigate the situation.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient!" The queen said to reassure people, "This is just a coincidence. Besides, the legend of crows covering the sun is nonsense. You are all important ministers above the court. I believe that you will not believe that absurd statement. , Ben Gong will order someone to find out what is going on?"

"Empress, although it is just a legend that crows cover the sun, such an omen appeared at the national funeral ceremony. This is the performance of the country's ignorant monarch! Could it be that the emperor is implying something?"

"The crows cover the sky and block the sun, which is equivalent to blocking the sun. The northern cold has no sun. Could it be that this is really the performance of the country's ignorant king?"

"It's not just the country's ignorant king!" Someone interjected, "The sun is shrouded in blackness, which is clearly a reminder that the whole Beihan has fallen into darkness, and considering all the variables since the emperor's death, it is possible that the emperor is implying that someone has been wronged ?”

"Who is wronged and worthy of the emperor's omen?"

As soon as the words came out, the crowd was silent for a moment, and they didn't know who it was, and suddenly asked the voice from the bottom of their hearts: "Could it be that you are referring to the prince?"

Everyone's heart was shocked, and they didn't dare to answer for a moment.

"Stop talking nonsense, you confusing person, what kind of crown prince is that? You are clearly a spy sent by Dayan! What do you mean by lying here to confuse people? Could it be that you are with that spy?" Queen Angrily scolded, "Come here, drag this spy down, and execute the Fa on the spot!"

"The imperial decree is clearly true, but you bribed Sitianmen to turn a deer into a horse! In my opinion, you are the ones who really seek power and usurp the throne! Don't think that if the emperor dies, you can sit back and relax. Look, there is an ominous omen coming from the sky, and Beihan is about to come!" Falling into a catastrophe, this mother and son will bring troubles to the world sooner or later! Prince! This minister cannot avenge your injustice! Your Majesty, this old minister is sorry for you! I failed to protect the prince! This minister is guilty, and I would like to apologise with death!"

"Gag him!" The queen was furious.

The guard was about to rush forward to cover the official's mouth, but the official suddenly pulled out the precious knife from the opponent's waist and stabbed him directly in the stomach, only to hear a "puchi", blood splashed directly on the clothes of the guard beside him, and the guard was shocked a lot Jumping, hurriedly let go, and the official fell straight to the ground, spitting blood and dying.

This incident caused a lot of discussion in the venue, and the faces of all the officials changed drastically. At this moment, someone took a piece of edict and came forward to all the civil and military officials: "My lords, witness, this is Your Majesty's final edict. Not to mention, King Gaoyang seeks power to usurp the throne, he also colludes with Xuanshen Sect, practices evil skills privately, sows the relationship between Beihan and Dayan, in an attempt..."

Before he finished his words, a sharp weapon came from the side and rear, but the man was clearly a Lianjiazi, and he dodged the hidden weapon with a turn of his body. At the same time, the person from the other direction was not spared and was directly caught He was hit by a hidden weapon and killed on the spot.

"Someone is going to kill me! Help me!" The person holding the edict suddenly panicked, and his eyes eagerly searched the crowd, "I beg the King of Nanyang to save me!"

He rushed to King Nanyang, knelt on the ground, and stuffed the edict into his hand: "Everything I said is true, the prince is His Majesty's own flesh and blood, and it was confirmed by the imperial doctor's blood test on that day. I passed the double fish bone talisman to the prince. We all know how important the double fish bone talisman is. How could the emperor pass my Beihan lifeline to an irrelevant person? I beg the King of Nanyang to investigate and give the prince justice!"
