Qi Chu looked back at him under the moonlight, and finally understood why he had been calm since just now.

He clearly made perfect preparations!

It's just that I don't know where there is a flaw that made him realize it in advance...

Qi Chu's heart skipped a beat, but Zhou Lanmu sat down on the stone steps indifferently, and even stretched out his hand to signal him to come over: "When I imprisoned Feng Shuo in Tongtian Temple, he told me an old story... "

Qi Chu got closer, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Lanmu stretched out five fingers to block the moon, and didn't look at him: "You took my imperial seal and wanted my throne. I'm afraid you didn't want it yourself? Everyone knows that you are the adopted child of King Ping and want to usurp the throne. , not even a justifiable reason.”

Without waiting for Qi Chu to answer, he continued: "Throughout the ages, how many people have fixed their eyes on the supreme position in the Jinting imperial city, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice everything for it, shed blood, shed tears, and turned their hands upside down to disturb the situation in the world... ...Everyone in the world knows the beauty of power, how many people know the shadow behind the throne?"

He rested his chin and smiled: "For example, my father was not favored by his biological mother. He was originally a humble and lowly prince. He didn't want anything in the past. He only wanted to help a certain brother and have a good time with friends around him. It's a pity to guard a woman all my life..."

Qi Chu felt a shiver creeping up his back, so cold that he shivered involuntarily.

"During the east tour into the clouds, my father and later General Shen Wang met two women," Zhou Lanmu said indifferently, as if he was telling the story of someone else's family, "The two daughters of King Lie, Princess Chuqiu He and Princess Chuxi are both first-class beauties in the world, and it is natural for ordinary men to love such a beauty. No matter how many years have passed, Princess Qiu is the love of my father all his life."

"You... what do you know?" Qi Chu clenched her fingers tightly, her tone trembling.

"Old Lie Wang loves his daughters very much, not to mention food and clothing, even the maids are the best in the world, so the maids around the princess are all extraordinary, if not..." Zhou Lanmu laughed, " Ah Chu, you will not be born so well."

Qi Chu's face turned pale suddenly, he pointed at Zhou Lanmu, almost unable to stand up, and sat down on the long steps in front of him with a "plop".

Chu Qiu was naturally Mrs. Chunhua who was titled "Chunhua" back then, the woman his father loved the most in his life.

And not long ago in Tongtian Temple, what Feng Shuo told him was another secret matter.

Back then, Emperor Qingyuan never thought that he would ascend the throne. When he was on his eastward tour into the clouds, he and Chu Qiu made a private decision for life, and even had children. What can go wrong.

It's just that the world is unpredictable. On a rainy night, Emperor Qingyuan suddenly received a secret order from the palace-the first emperor passed away, and in front of a group of civil servants, he personally announced the order to make him the crown prince, and even married Suzhou who was originally planned to be married to the emperor's brother. The princess was given to him in the past.

The world turned upside down overnight.

Emperor Qingyuan himself didn't know why, maybe it was because the fighting between the emperor brothers had bored the late emperor, or maybe it was something else, all the big families sent out trusted children who had made good friends with him, and brought him back to the court overnight.

He even had only time to say a word to Chu Qiu before he hurried back to Zhongyang.

The political situation in Zhongyang was not stable, and the children of the aristocratic families who had befriended him—Qi Zhao, Wei Xu, Zhou Shengqian, and Shen Wang—used all the power of their own family to ensure that he ascended the throne safely and stabilized the political situation.

On the day she ascended the throne, Princess Xi was welcomed into Suxi Palace and became the empress of Great India.

During this period, Mrs. Chunhua secretly gave birth to a child.

It's a pity that Emperor Qingyuan didn't know that after the political situation stabilized, he came to Ruyun himself, full of guilt, and wanted to welcome Chu Qiu back to the palace.

Surprisingly, Chu Qiu didn't say much. The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms at night. Emperor Qingyuan woke up suddenly. Seeing Mrs. Chunhua staring at him in the darkness, he asked mysteriously, "Where is our child?"

I didn't dare to ask before.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chunhua replied coldly: "I killed him."

Before he had time to say anything, the exuberant beauty took out a sharp dagger from her cuff - Lie Wang had been a soldier for half his life, and his daughter was naturally not a delicate young lady.

He is not dead.

Mrs. Chunhua's personal maid rushed forward to block the knife for him.

The point of the knife pierced the skin on the side of his neck, causing a cold shudder, and he watched Madam Chunhua's maid robbing her of the short knife in her hand.The maid also had some kung fu, the two fought for a while, the maid missed and sent the dagger into Madam Chunhua's chest.

Blood froth spilled out from the corner of his mouth, and he saw the other party's blood-red eyes in the darkness.

"If I could do it all over again... I would rather never have met you!"

Chu Qiu has been proud all her life, and will never be a concubine.

He betrayed the woman he loved the most in his life and killed her.

Emperor Qingyuan sat by the bed all night, but was surprisingly calm the next day.He found someone to treat the maid's injuries, brought her back to Zhongyang, and registered her as his wife, with the single word "Mei".

He had never looked directly at the maid beside Chunhua before. He only knew that the maid had an extraordinary appearance, was smart and forbearing, and often played the flute from a distance under the moon. Only now did he realize that the sound of the flute was all for him .

But it's all, infatuation and wrong payment.

In the past, the princess gave birth to a legitimate son for him, but she was too weak to intervene in the affairs of the harem, so he handed over all the affairs of the harem to Mrs. Mei, who also gave birth to a child for him, named Shuo.

The posture of plum blossoms... the wind is easy to understand, and it is easy not to destroy it.

Afterwards, Emperor Qingyuan found the most famous craftsman in the Twelve States, Gongshu Wuyu, and built a secret imperial mausoleum for him on an island outside Ruyun.

Chunhua's body was stuffed with special spices by him and preserved forever.

And their children...unborn, soft and fresh life, but they couldn't even find the corpse.Gongshu Wuzhu collected the baby's bones for him and put together a living skeleton.

It was the skeleton that Chu Shao and Chu Shao saw in the imperial tomb of Mengtian Island.

The love is so deep that it is almost crazy.

The moment Chunhua died, he had almost already thought about his future plan.

He built an imperial mausoleum where he could freely enter and exit, and kept the body of his favorite there. He worked hard to raise his eldest son, hoping that he could take on the important task of a country as soon as possible.After all the dust settled, he should have passed the throne in advance, and then went to that imperial tomb to spend the last days of his life.

The only person who knows all of his plans is Xiao Chen, who is by his side and is his confidant.

After he successfully arranges it, Xiao Chen will be the only one who will follow him. The deserted island has no water and no food, and he needs a heartfelt bodyguard.

Xiao Cheng almost grew up with him, and the only thing he begged for was to release his son from the palace.

Everything went smoothly.

In order for Feng Xie to ascend to the throne smoothly, he tried his best to eradicate the power of the aristocratic family and create a perfect fake death for Xiao Chen, but it was a pity that he acted too hard and hastily, and finally caused the Dingfeng Rebellion.

Before the Dingfeng Rebellion, he had already planned to let go, and even sent Xiao Qixian to the imperial tomb in Ruyun, and Feng Xie presided over the Qingyuan reform, which happened to be the last thing.

It's a pity that it's still one step away.

Zhou Lanmu said to Qi Chu: "I stumbled into Yunhuang Mausoleum by mistake, but found Xiao Chen's body. Do you know who killed him?"

Qi Chu looked at him with a pale face, sweat dripping down his forehead drop by drop.

"My story is finished. In the whole story, the only missing part, do you know what it is?" Zhou Lanmu looked at him with a flat gaze, but there was a heavy pressure in Qi Chu's eyes for no reason. Where did the dead child, my brother, go?"

Qi Chu said with difficulty: "You ask me this..."

"Ms. Chunhua died, and Mrs. Chunhua's maid became Mrs. Mei. Princess Chuxi married the general, and the general took over the title of King Lie. Princess Chuxi's maid went away after the death of King Lie. Qi Zhao, I gave birth to you." Zhou Lanmu interrupted him interestingly, "It's a pity that Qi Zhao is not a good father, he killed your mother and kicked you out of the house, but luckily someone saved you——"

"He saved you and instigated you to gain trust under King Ping, and then he used his night mayfly to help you kill King Ping and replace him." Zhou Lanmu said, "The following is my guess—he saved you, You remember this kindness, and you are willing to do anything for him. He brought Ye Mayfly to Zhongyang to assassinate me. You lent the soldiers under King Ping to Wei Shuqing, fueled the flames, and created the chaos of Dingfeng with one hand. He hates me. They didn't want me to die, and the conflicts continued, just because... blood is thicker than water, and now we are each other's last relatives."

"How do you know this? How do you know?" Qi Chu's eyes were red, and he spoke incoherently, as angry as a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "These things..."

"How do I know..." Zhou Lanmu glanced down and stood up, "You were rescued by that person at the Chunlai Inn back then. After you gained power, you sent people to slaughter the entire Chunlai Inn, but you never thought about it. A fish that slipped through the net."

Qi Chu panted lowly, staring at his feet, he heard the sound of the bowstring being tightened in his ears.

"Yesterday, when the Sange restaurant exploded, I finally realized that you were going to do something. Fortunately, General Xiao Chu came back at such a time. He was hidden in the chaos, and you didn't notice it. You didn't know he was back, and he was only staring at Fang Ziyu and Fang Ziyu. What's the use of Parrot Guard, he was ordered to go out of the city alone early this morning, and now he just brought the Black Sword Camp to the city gate behind you." Zhou Lanmu raised his head and looked up, "Ah Chu, look up. Thousands of arrows, you lost."

As he spoke, he swung the short knife from his cuff and cut the ropes on Xiao Yifeng and Bai Canglang.Xiao Yifeng had already heard about his father, and all of a sudden he ran towards Zhou Lanmu, saying, "Your Majesty!"

Bai Canglang was shocked by these messy things, and forgot to run for a while.

"Achu, I have grown a lot in these years. I want to thank you and my brother, who I have never met. If it weren't for your experience, I wouldn't be where I am today." Zhou Lanmu stretched out a hand, gesturing to the people on the tower. Chu Shao tightened the bowstring, the wide white sleeves slid down her wrist, but the string of red turquoise stones had disappeared, "I only have one relative, and I really want to meet him formally. If you tell me who he is, I will How about leaving your life alone?"

Qi Chu stood there silently, and it took a long time before he answered in a cold voice.

"It's all about success and defeat, just shoot the arrows."
