Death was frightening, and the retreat was getting faster and faster. All the imperial guards who besieged Xie Qingyao abandoned their helmets and armor and showed signs of fleeing for their lives.

Shidu, the leader of the royal guards who rushed over after hearing the sound, stood in front of Xie Qingyao with a spear in his hand:

"Who are you and why did you break into the palace?"

The corner of his mouth curled up in a strange arc, Xie Qingyao held the sword blade and pressed forward step by step towards Shidu, his hoarse and sharp voice echoed on the palace road.

"The eldest son of the late Emperor Xie Yu and the late Queen Chen Shu, and the crown prince of the East Palace, Xie Qingyao."

"Master, it has only been a few years, but have you become so dim that you have forgotten who your master is?"

The bloody power of intimidation radiated from Xie Qingyao's body, and Shidu and the imperial guards behind him were forced to kneel down by this force.

"Wise King, the country has changed its owner. I sincerely ask you to put the overall situation first."

Blood fell on the palace road along the sword blade, and the moonlight reflected the bright red. Shidu could clearly see the sword blade held in Xie Qingyao's hand.

That day, he witnessed with his own eyes Xie Yu handing the sword into Xie Qingyao's hands, along with the heavy burden of the mountains and rivers.

That day, he heard Xie Yu and Chen Shu say with his own ears that when Xie Qingyao could take on the responsibility of the mountains and rivers on his own, they would leave the capital to get in touch with the warmth of the mountains and rivers.

As a former minister of the East Palace and now the leader of the imperial guards, Shidu was able to gain a foothold in front of the new emperor by slaughtering the old ministers of the East Palace.

Xie Qingyao eight years ago was not a kind person, and Xie Qingyao today is even less likely to be.

Shidu knew that he would definitely die today.

The blade of the sword was placed on Shidu's neck, forcing Shidu to slowly raise his head and look at the sky.

The full moon hangs high, pushing back the boundless darkness.

Even if the sky is not clear, we can still see clearly the black and white of this world.

Shidu's eyes were filled with fear, and the hand holding the spear lost its strength, and the sharp weapon collided with the jade floor, making a sharp sound.

On this day, the ruler of this world will change.

The sword blade moved down, and Xie Qingyao's mouth was filled with a thin smile: "Shidu, I can't just because someone else has stayed in my house for a few days, the master becomes a guest, don't you think so?"

The blade of the sword slowly passed around Shidu's neck. Xie Qingyao looked at the water stains accumulated at Shidu's feet and felt that it was a bit boring for Shidu to be afraid of death.

Since it was boring, Xie Qingyao did some interesting things.

The Xuan Fan placed on his waist used his inner strength to wave powerfully, and those who stood slowly aside and intended to assassinate Xie Qingyao while the two were talking were killed in an instant.

The sickly white face was stained with scarlet blood, and the murderous aura was stained with strangeness.

Xie Qingyao leaned close to Shidu's ear and said, "Master Shidu, take Gu to see what that good uncle Gu is doing."

The creepy voice penetrated into Shidu's mind, crushing his soul.

Shidu turned around and stood in front of Xie Qingyao. Not only did he block the attack from the front for him, but he also witnessed today's massacre from the owner's perspective.

The blood around his feet was getting thicker and thicker, and the ferocious faces of those who lost their lives caused Shidu's psychological defense to completely collapse.

He once led these people who were trying to hinder Xie Qingyao and killed all those who wanted to protect Xie Qingyao.

The cause and effect in this world will never be buried by time.

Knowing that he would definitely die today, Shidu didn't want to suffer such torture anymore, and his neck violently hit the sword blade.

Already on guard, Xie Qingyao grabbed Shidu's hair with one hand and pulled Shidu's head back: "Shidu, you don't think that just because you die, you can pay off the sins you have committed, do you?"

The sword blade reached Shidu's neck again, and Xie Qingyao reminded with a smile: "Your sins will be punished by the nine tribes."

Closing his eyes in despair, Shidu completely turned into a puppet in Xie Qingyao's hands.

Changle Palace

Lin Yan's usual gentle face was replaced by cold solemnity. The weak and silent woman had the ability to freeze the excitement around her at this moment.

Xu Minglang came from outside the palace. The evil aura in his body loosened all obstacles. He looked up at Xie Chongyu who was sitting at the foot of the throne and smiled silently.

Xu Jian hurriedly walked towards Xu Minglang: "How?"

Xu Minglang said nothing, just pursed his lips and shook his head.

It was this slight movement of his head that revealed the killing spirit that Xu Jian had concealed for several years.

He strode to the Golden Palace, knelt on the jade stone, and looked at Xie Yan on the Golden Palace with fearless eyes.

It was not until this moment that the courtiers in the palace and those on the throne remembered that Xu Jian deserved to be awarded the Imperial Ancestral Temple for his achievements in fighting on the battlefield.

His low profile for several years does not mean he is incompetent.

That was because he was deliberately hiding his clumsiness due to the emperor's suspicion.

Xie Yan and Xu Jian looked at each other, with a hint of warning in their majestic eyes, but it completely angered Xu Jian.

After kowtowing three times to the people above the Golden Palace, Xu Jian said sternly:

"Your Majesty, Queen, I, the helpless girl entered this palace for a banquet. The boat that was supposed to be foolproof sank into the lake. The noble girl who was supposed to help the minister to save people was knocked down directly. The noble girl who was supposed to fight for her life was knocked down. The woman dragged her servant into perdition at the cost of her life.”

Xu Jian's eyes fell directly on Xie Chongyu: "Today, the kindness of my legitimate daughter of the Xu family has become a weapon for others to harm her. As a father, I, Xu Jian, must seek justice for my legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. "

In concise and concise words, Xu Jian put the dirty and despicable methods of the Tian family on the table.

Regardless of whether their minds were spinning fast or not, the ladies and children present here had clearly realized that what happened today was not an accident, but a deliberate plan for Xu Mingyue.

But so what if you know?

The Zhenguo Palace has faded away from the peak of power, and Xu Mingyue has nothing to do with the families in this palace. Even though they feel that the Tian family's methods are dirty, they have no idea of ​​​​speaking for Xu Mingyue.

The imperial power was supreme, and there was no need for them to displease those above the throne for a woman.

Those noble ladies who were rescued by Xu Mingyue today, after hearing Xu Jian's sad words, remembered Xu Mingyue's words of comfort to them, and held the handkerchief tightly with both hands.

Xie Yan's brows have not relaxed since he sat on the dragon chair today. First, he received the news that Xie Qingyao suddenly woke up. He had to send the people he could use to the Xian Prince's Mansion in batches with the intention of killing Xie Qingyao directly. To avoid future troubles.

Later, when he heard that Xie Qingyao broke into the palace, Xie Yan could only ask Shidu to take the imperial guards to surround Xie Qingyao.

When all the ministers arrived at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it was impossible for Xie Yan not to attend, so he had to secretly suppress his anxiety and appear at the banquet.

But when they entered the Changle Palace banquet place, they discovered that Xu Mingyue had fallen into the Yuhe River and has not been recovered until now.

Xie Yan's heart was burning with anger. Xu Jian, who loved his daughter dearly, couldn't understand his warning. Xie Yan frowned and looked at Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying noticed Xie Yan's dissatisfaction, and the exquisite armor she wore on her hand pierced her palm. Her usually dignified face turned a little pale, and she watched Xu Jian make the promise:

"Don't worry, Duke Zhen. Princess Mingyue has her own destiny. I will definitely give you an explanation for today's matter."
