The emperor waved his hand.

Said,

"Go down."

The Royal Guards looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes, but they were absolutely obedient to His Majesty.

Their figures disappeared silently into the shadow of the hall like ghosts.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became unusually quiet, with only the emperor and Lin Xilan left.

The emperor's gaze fell on Lin Xilan again.

He looked at his female official Zhao carefully from head to toe.

After a long time.

His voice sounded again:

"Lord Zhao has an extraordinary temperament, and is very much like an old friend of mine!" He suddenly stood up from his sitting position, strode up to her, and then looked at her carefully again.

picture!

Really imaginative!

Very similar!

The corners of Lin Xilan's mouth twitched.

Is her...is her, Xiao Wujiu's influence so great?

Even the current Majesty is so obsessed with him?

"Get up, I was just reckless, but are you really the Crown Prince's fiancée? You are indeed deceiving me."

The emperor's voice suddenly turned cold.

It was so cold that Lin Xilan's eyelids twitched.

"Of course not. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go and ask the Crown Prince to verify it." She said quickly.

"Even if I give you ten courages, you would not dare to deceive me." The emperor's lips curled up in a meaningful arc.

The next moment, Lin Xilan heard——

"You look a lot like an old friend of mine. Her last name is Xiao."

She was silent for a moment.

Since returning to the South, she rarely heard this name. Even Murong Xuan was afraid of this name.

and.

The three words "Xiao Wujiu" suddenly came out of the emperor's mouth, and Lin Xilan felt strange.

But along the way, Murong Xuan searched for the shadow of another person in her. He even went to her room in the middle of the night to admire her carefully...

And that person is Xiao Wujiu!

Lin Xilan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I dare to ask: Are you talking about the former Lord Xiao?"

"Ah."

The man in gold clothes responded, but suddenly he seemed a little bored.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of barely noticeable fatigue flashed in his eyes. His thoughts drifted away, as if he had returned to a long, long time ago.

then.

Time flies, time flies

Everything has changed!

"Do you want to know about Xiao Wujiu? How about I tell you a story?"

Lin Xilan: Great! I love listening to stories!

She really wanted to hear stories, especially stories about Xiao Wujiu!

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

Secretly, he clenched his fists tightly.

He both admired and hated that man.

So, even ten years later, when he saw someone who looked somewhat like him, he could hardly control his emotions!

The emperor looked at Lin Xilan deeply and saw that the other person was frightened.

Lin Xilan smiled flatteringly and quickly said, "This is my first time in the South Country, and I know very little about the people and things here, so if Your Majesty is in the mood to tell me a story, I will definitely listen attentively."

"Yes." The emperor's response was simple, and then he began to speak slowly:

That was more than ten years ago.

The court officials of the Southern Kingdom at that time had a common enemy, that was the young and promising treacherous minister who spanned two dynasties: Xiao Wujiu.

He is a stone weighing on the heads of all aristocratic families.

Establish imperial examination system and abolish hereditary succession!

At that time, I was still called Murong Yu, a small Prince Duan, not the emperor that everyone feared.

I remember that at that time, all I wanted was the throne.

The modern Crown Prince Murong Xuan was only a ten-year-old child at that time.

Xiao Wujiu was his teacher.

When the prince was young, Xuanyuan Xuan liked this teacher very much. He stuck to the teacher almost every day and was inseparable from him.

He often said to me when I was still a prince, "Uncle, tell me, how great it would be if I could become someone like you in the future?"

At that time, Xiao Wujiu was still a famous figure in the entire Southern Kingdom.

He was young and promising, served as the imperial tutor of the dynasty, led troops to defend the king, and was also extremely charming and stunning, the most beautiful scenery in the south.

At that time, Prince Duan didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "You will be the emperor in the future."

Lin Xilan listened to him narrating the past word by word. When he mentioned Murong Xuan's admiration for her, she suddenly felt complicated.

So, is this how it is?

Can!

If that was the case, why would her disciple stab her in the back?

The emperor seemed to be lost in memories. "The prince really likes this teacher. He often told me that he would rather not be a prince, but be a court official like his teacher, who can change the situation and leave his name in history. This is his dream."

pity.

——His father, the late emperor, died not long after.

At that time, Murong Xuan was ten years old.

He was originally going to ascend the throne, but no one expected that the usually silent Prince Duan would suddenly seize the throne and want to depose the crown prince.

"I succeeded, but I also failed, because I lost to Xiao Wujiu."

When he mentioned the name again, he still gritted his teeth, as if he had met his lifelong enemy.

"Because of him, I can no longer have descendants!"

Xiao Wujiu was Murong Xuan's teacher and a staunch royalist. How could she allow her master's son to be deposed and killed? So when she knew that he had started a rebellion, she did not hesitate to give him a medicine to kill his offspring.

Who would have thought!

What a painful price I paid to become the emperor.

Ha ha.

Time flies, so many years have passed, but that medicine is still an eternal pain in his heart!

It's been ten years since I mentioned this.

Lin Xilan still felt guilty.

"This person is indeed cruel and merciless, heartless and ungrateful!!!"

She spat indignantly!

"Your Majesty, that man named Xiao has caused you to have no descendants. I think you need to dig up his body and whip it in public, so that he will have no place to be buried. He will have no way to go to heaven, and he will have no way to go to hell! It is better to let his soul wander in this world and never enter reincarnation."

emperor:"……"

What a cruel and ruthless bullshit!

He hated Xiao Wujiu, but he did not deny her powerful means. On the contrary, he admired her a little, provided that these means were not used on him!

but.

Such excitement also makes the girl's expression more lively and real!

He couldn't help but laugh. "He is indeed ruthless and heartless. After all, he could even kill the late emperor who promoted him. Who else can't he kill?"

what?

The late emperor?

how can that be!

——She never laid a hand on her master from beginning to end!

Could it be...

Thinking of a possibility, she locked her eyes, and the next moment she heard the other party speak indifferently:

"The Crown Prince learned about this from his brother's old subordinates. Xiao Wujiu is ambitious and wants to take over the country, even to the point of killing his father..."

Lin Xilan was completely dumbfounded.

"So, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who personally lured Xiao Wujiu to death?"
