[Quick Transmigration] Your feelings
Chapter 58 The Prince's Wish
In Fuxiu Palace, Zhuang Yan had left, Xing Tao sat in the courtyard blankly for a while, not knowing what to do next.
When the emperor finds out about his disappearance, Long Yan will definitely be furious, maybe all the people in Fuxiu Palace will be buried with him...
Touching the bracelet on her wrist, she remembered that little guard who was infatuated with herself.This bracelet was a gift he had spent a whole year saving to give to himself...
Xing Tao couldn't help smiling slightly, feeling a little sweet and a little sad in her heart.She had already decided that when the emperor asked, she said that this matter was her own idea and had nothing to do with other people in Fuxiu Palace.Especially when she thought of Lvyi, she really couldn't bear to watch Lvyi, who had just been with Zhuang Yan for a few months and thought she could finally enjoy life, die unexpectedly.
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that Lvyi was no longer here.where did she goXingtao stood up and went out of the courtyard. He happened to meet a court lady, so he grabbed her and asked, "Have you seen the green dress?"
The maid said: "I see, sister in green just left Fuxiu Palace."
Leaving Fuxiu Palace?Xing Tao was taken aback.As soon as Zhuang Yan left, Lv Yi followed her. It was strange... She felt inexplicably tense, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know which direction she went?"
The palace man pointed and said, "Go east."
East?This east direction is not where she should go as a young maid of the West Palace, that is where the emperor, high-ranking concubines and princes lived.Could it be...
A horrifying and bold idea emerged in Xing Tao's heart, she hurried to the room in green, and searched up and down.After flipping through it, I found the letter that was pressed under the quilt by Lvyi, and Lvyi actually communicated with Yao Ji secretly!
Xingtao's face turned pale, and she immediately realized the purpose of Lvyi's eastward trip—she wanted to inform!
Before he had time to think about it, Xing Tao stuffed the letter into his arms, and hurriedly ran towards the Political Affairs Hall.
At this time, the green clothes had arrived, and she had planned to make Zhuang Yan unable to get out of the palace and be arrested, but she never thought that when she came to the political affairs hall, she was told by the guards that the emperor was still in the early court at this time. .
What? !After all, Lvyi was not thoughtful enough, she could think of coming to the Palace of Political Affairs to find the emperor, but she never thought of how long the emperor would go to court!The green clothes are like ants on a hot pot, wandering in front of the political affairs hall, and suddenly thought of something, she took out the badge of Fuxiu Palace, and said to the guard: "I am from the Palace of the Thirteenth Highness, and now the Thirteenth Highness wants to There is an urgent matter to be notified to the emperor, can you order someone to make it easier for you?"
The guard saw the waist badge and thought of the thirteenth prince's recent favor, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Please wait a moment, girl, I will go in and ask." After finishing speaking, the guard walked into the hall and asked the eunuch in charge.
Lvyi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had some hope. Suddenly, a sharp cry made her suddenly startled: "Lvyi! What are you doing here?!" She turned her head to look, and it was Xingtao panting Running over, he was staring at her with fierce eyes.
"Sister Xingtao...I, I..." Lvyi was tongue-tied for a moment, not knowing how to answer.She knew that now she and Xing Tao were bound to die, so she simply said, "I've thought about it carefully, I can't let His Highness be so stupid!"
"Ridiculous! You still dare to use the name of His Highness now? I already know! You Yao Ji's secret work!" Xing Tao rushed forward and slapped her hard.
The guard happened to come out and was taken aback when he saw the two court ladies' swords drawn, and then said to the green robe: "My father-in-law said that we will report everything after His Majesty's court."
Lvyi was taken aback for a moment, obviously did not expect such a result, but Xingtao was overjoyed, dragged Lvyi and said: "This big brother, it's because of Fuxiu Palace's ineffective discipline, this little palace lady came out to talk nonsense, I will Take her back." After saying that, he firmly grabbed Lv Yi's wrist and dragged her away.
"No... Xingtao!" Lvyi struggled, "I must tell His Majesty!"
"Oh! Lvyi, I never thought His Highness would treat you so well. You are such a white-eyed wolf!" Xingtao walked in the palace for more than ten years, but he couldn't deal with a little maid. He cursed Lvyi while leading her away. From the Palace of Political Affairs.
The two chattered and were about to leave the Hall of Political Affairs, when a line of golden dragon chariots came towards them, Xing Tao was startled, quickly put the green clothes on his mouth and knelt down beside the road.
Perhaps the green clothes had seen hope again, but unexpectedly burst out from nowhere, broke free from Xingtao, and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Thirteenth Highness has run away!"
Xing Tao held her back in horror, and slapped her across the face again, "Nonsense!"
The emperor's chariot had already stopped, and the eunuch who was walking aside walked up to the two of them and asked, "What did you two just say?"
Xing Tao apologized and said with a smile: "Don't blame the father-in-law, this maid has lost her mind, and this servant will take her back."
The eunuch was used to walking beside the emperor, and he was already a fine man, so he couldn't see anything wrong, he pointed to the green clothes and said, "You just said that His Royal Highness Thirteen has escaped? What do you mean?"
Xing Tao had already tightly covered Lv Yi's mouth at this time, no matter how she tried to pick it off, Xing Tao said: "I am afraid that she will offend His Majesty with her disrespectful words." As she spoke, she pulled Lv Yi to her feet, "Young maidservant will leave now, leave now." She also took a lot of effort to restrain the green clothes, and when she spoke, she forced a flattering smile.
The eunuch guessed that it was probably a fight between the maids, and he was really afraid of polluting the holy car, so he urged them to leave quickly.Lvyi obeyed his orders and wanted to leave as if he had been pardoned.The emperor suddenly opened the curtain, the eunuch saw that His Majesty was interested, "Wait a minute," the eunuch stopped, and signaled to the imperial guards, "Separate those two."
The two imperial guards went forward, ignored Xingtao's objection, tore her away, and the green clothes fell to the ground, coughing unceasingly, but still desperately said: "Your Majesty trusts slaves! Your Majesty the Thirteenth Prince followed the crown prince this morning." Your Highness has left the palace!"
"Bold!" the big eunuch shouted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is in the early court this morning, how could he be with His Highness Thirteenth? You court lady, you are really talking crazy!"
"This! This servant doesn't know! I implore Your Majesty to trust this servant! If Your Majesty delays any longer, His Highness Thirteenth will leave the capital!" Lv Yi hurriedly shouted, kowtowing.
The emperor got off the chariot, stood there, looked at the two maids indifferently, stared at Xing Tao for a while, and said suddenly: "I know you, you are the maid next to Xiao Shisan."
Xing Tao was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty is wise! This servant is right!"
"Then she is also from Fuxiu Palace." The emperor looked at the weeping green clothes again, "Is what you just said true?"
Just as Lu Yi was about to answer, Xing Tao took a step forward and said, "His Thirteenth Highness is currently in the palace, please don't trust the words of a madman, so as not to misunderstand His Highness."
"Oh?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I will go to Fuxiu Palace, how about it?"
Xingtao said calmly, "Congratulations, Shengjia."
The emperor ordered the guards to take the peaches and green clothes, and then drove to Fuxiu Palace.Before driving, the emperor ordered the eunuch to go to the East Palace. If the prince wanted to leave the palace, he would be stopped immediately.
Along the way, Xing Tao's attitude was extremely calm, as if Zhuang Yan was really staying in Fuxiu Palace.So when the emperor came to Fuxiu Palace and saw the empty dormitory, his face was so dark that it was dripping, "Is this what you said 'in the palace'?"
Xing Tao knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed heavily to the emperor a few times, "Your Majesty! If you have His Highness and Empress Lian Ji in your heart, please let Your Majesty let His Highness die!"
"Heh..." The emperor sneered, and immediately called the imperial guards, ordering him to send people to seal off the gates of the cities, search for Zhuang Yan's whereabouts, and send a team to investigate the East Palace.
After finishing the emergency treatment, the emperor turned his head and looked at the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, "Do you know Lian Ji?"
Xing Tao said: "This slave is exactly the empress Lian Ji's great maid in those days."
The emperor stared at her for a long while, and finally recognized, "It's you." He paced around the room, looking at this bedroom, which he entered for the first time since he bestowed it on the Zhuang Banquet, and when he spoke again, his tone was Terribly indifferent, "Then do you know how Lian Ji died?"
"Poison and a glass of wine, there is no cure for medicine and stone." Xing Tao replied word by word.
"That's good," the emperor said lightly, "I will give you the same fate as her."
"Your Majesty!" When the emperor turned around, Xing Tao yelled out loudly, "Miss Lian Ji had a deep affection for His Majesty back then. Would Your Majesty really suspect her of murdering His Majesty?" Ji's death was due to her vain attempt to poison the king.But people thought she didn't succeed, because the king was all right.But people don't know that the king's beloved died of poisoning.
The emperor naturally knew the secrets of it, and suddenly someone found out the hidden pain several years ago, and the emperor was even more upset, and directly shouted: "Come on!"
Xing Tao knew that his death was approaching, so he must tell the emperor the truth that he later found out, "Your Majesty! The person who poisoned her back then was not Lian Ji, but Yao Ji!"
Seeing the emperor's footsteps paused, she kept on talking, "Miss Lian Ji never touched that bowl of soup that night. It was Yao Ji who gave the soup to Mistress Lian Ji, and the poison was also given by Yao Ji! The cook in the dining room and Xiu Yin, Yao Ji's maid at the time, can testify..."
Following Xing Tao's words, everything was revealed again on that night a few years ago. Even thinking about it now, the emperor couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.That night, he was the one who saw that the new wine brewed by the Imperial Palace was ready, and that Nandi had brought a lot of fresh ingredients, so he improvised to call Yun Lan into the palace to eat and drink together. The soup was served by Lian Ji , Yunlan liked it very much when he saw it, so he let Yunlan drink it without any suspicion at all... Never thought that Yunlan's mouth and nose would bleed as soon as he finished drinking, and he died suddenly.And Lian Ji... Lian Ji didn't cry out for injustice!She admitted it!Yun Lan is his beloved, and Lian Ji is his confidant. If he didn't need the power of the queen's mother clan, he would have already made Lian Ji the queen!But who ever thought of it!His confidant would kill his true love!Those two are still brothers and sisters!
What Ketao said today means that everything has nothing to do with Lian Ji?He wronged her?Killed her by mistake?Did Lian Ji take the blame for Yao Ji? !
The emperor's mind was confused for a while, but his face remained motionless, he only waited for the poisoned wine to be served, and he didn't even look at Xingtao, "Even if you tell me the truth that has not been verified, don't think that I will spare your life because of it!"
Xingtao smiled sadly, "Servant...has there ever been any delusions! I just ask His Majesty to find out the truth and give Lian Ji justice! I also beg His Majesty to let His Highness Thirteen go for the sake of Lian Ji who died innocently!" After finishing speaking, she picked up the jade cup and drank Qing Lingling's intestine-piercing poison in one gulp!
At that moment, the hot and burning liquid slid down the throat, burning the internal organs in an instant, Xing Tao fell to the ground, and blood slowly overflowed from the mouth and nose.What did she think of before she died?
The back view of the Thirteenth Highness leaving this morning full of hope, Lian Ji's ashen and dead face, the blushing young face when the little guard handed her the bracelet... Frames, scenes, flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern , and finally, sink into the boundless darkness.
The body on the ground was no longer breathing, and a strong smell of blood filled the entire dormitory. "Your Majesty, what should I do with this court lady?" asked the little eunuch.
The emperor said indifferently: "Leave it like this for now." He wanted to wait for him to catch Xiao Shisan back, let him take a good look at it, and dare to escape his fate!
"What about the other person?" the eunuch asked again.
Thinking of the weeping words just now, the emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "Keep it." Could it be that he really wanted to investigate what happened back then...
The eunuch is back.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince is indeed preparing to leave the palace. Fortunately, the servant walked quickly and stopped His Majesty the Crown Prince." The eunuch said, "Your Majesty is really good at predicting things."
The emperor sat in the political affairs hall without speaking. After approving a memorial, he asked, "Where is the prince now?"
The eunuch said: "Kneeling outside the hall."
The emperor looked at the cold weather outside the hall, said "hmm", and said, "Then let him continue to kneel and reflect for a while."
When the prince knelt, he knelt for two full hours.When the emperor called him in, he staggered a little, but was supported by the little eunuch.
"I said Your Highness, you will be soft later, Your Majesty is not hard-hearted." The eunuch couldn't see it, and whispered, "This time Your Majesty is really angry."
The prince pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.He walked into the hall, and the ten thousand statues in the hall were wearing a gorgeous and cold dragon robe, looking at the picture of two tigers fighting for food hanging on the wall with a lofty expression.
"Greetings Father." Zhuang Ke opened his mouth, but finally knelt down.
The emperor still turned his back to him. After a long time, a calm voice sounded: "Get up."
Zhuang Ke got up, and the emperor called out, "Come forward, Ke'er."
Zhuang Ke walked over, and the emperor was walking slowly on the picture with a knife in his hand. "Ke'er, look at this painting. Although these two tigers are ferocious, the difference in size is clear at a glance. Why is the little tiger so overconfident?" It was immediately pierced by the middle, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but if one of them has self-knowledge and knows how to restrain himself, when the big tiger grows old and weak, he will naturally have the strength to kill it, but the little tiger is still a little tiger, young and energetic, and dazed. In the end, the rabbit didn't eat it, and was beaten all over by the tiger. Do you think so, Ke'er?"
Zhuang Ke said: "It's just a rabbit. The big tiger obviously owns the whole forest, so why does it compete with the little tiger for a rabbit?"
The emperor smiled and said leisurely: "A strong man naturally likes a strong man. If everything is left to others, then he is not a strong man." He did not intend to pass on his affairs to the next generation.
At this time, someone came from outside the hall, saying that His Highness Thirteen had been found at the post station in the city.
Zhuang Ke's face turned pale, and he finally understood how naive he was before.The person I was facing was the emperor who ruled the Kyushu... The plan he thought was perfect was completely ruined within a day.
The emperor stared at the prince who was still too young for him, "Ke'er, don't try to fight your father, this is the second time, if there is a next time, you don't have to live in the East Palace anymore It's gone." After saying that, the emperor walked away in a huff.
On this side, Zhuang Yan was sitting dejectedly in the vestibule of Fuxiu Palace, his face was pale and his whole journey was like falling into a dream.
To him, the moment he escaped from the imperial city was a dream; in the post station, it was also a dream when he waited for a group of heavily armored guards instead of Zhuang Ke.But the former is full of hope, while the latter is hopeless.
somebody is coming.Zhuang Yan raised his head, and what he saw was that bright yellow figure that hurt people's eyes.The pain fell on his face, and he fell to the ground, dizzy for a while, and his mouth was sweet.
The emperor looked coldly at the boy who fell on the ground, his right cheek was red and swollen, and said in a cold voice, "Xiao Shisan, Father still spoils you too much."
Zhuang Yan covered his face and didn't speak for a while.What can he say?The moment he returned to Fuxiu Palace again, he was already dumb and deaf.
The emperor gave his eyes to the left and right, and the two eunuchs went up and grabbed Zhuang Yan's arms from left to right, and dragged him up, "Father, I will show you something." After finishing speaking, the emperor walked towards the dormitory .
Zhuang Yan was thrown on the floor of the dormitory, and a strong smell of blood was instantly squeezed into his mouth and nose. He was a little awake before his eyes, but was immediately horrified by the scene in front of him.
what did he seeThe familiar person, the person who always made fun of him, the person who grew up with him, now his face was covered with blood and mud, his eyes were closed, and his complexion was ashen.Zhuang Yan crawled over and grabbed her hand tremblingly, it was cold.
His tears fell on the back of her hand in an instant, and the young man said hoarsely: "...Xing Tao! Xing Tao, wake up! Wake up!" He wiped her face vigorously The blood had already dried up and turned black, and when he wiped it with his wet hands, it immediately turned bright red, "Xingtao!"
The emperor stood there, compassionate and cold, and said: "Xiao Shisan, don't blame the father for being cruel, it's all your fault, you killed her."
Zhuang Yan was choking, his ears and nose were ringing, was it his fault... he killed him... Looking down, his hands were covered with blood, he suddenly backed away, and fell to the ground in horror, "No, It's not my fault! I didn't kill Xing Tao! Xing Tao! Xing Tao, I didn't kill you!"
The emperor knelt down, grabbed his hands tightly, and said sternly to his ears: "Don't deny it! If you weren't thinking of running away, how could she die? If you weren't so capricious, how could she replace him?" Are you going to die? Xiao Shisan, what a bad boy, he actually killed the person who took care of him for 15 years..."
The emperor's words were like hypnosis and torture of conscience.
Zhuang Yan kept shaking his head, shaking his head, his consciousness was in a state of confusion, he could only wave his hands and feet indiscriminately, repeating mechanically: "It's not me...it's not me...it's not me!"
How could it be him?He obviously loves Xingtao so much, and he also helped Xingtao untie the knot in his heart to accept the person who likes her...Xingtao, she...she will be able to leave the palace soon, and she will be able to marry the person she likes soon Dead... no... how could she die?How could he kill him?
Zhuang Yan suddenly let out a shrill scream, grabbed the emperor's lapel tightly, and looked at him with hatred like poison, "It's you! It's you who killed Xingtao! It's you!"
The emperor stretched out his arms to hug him, pressed him tightly in his arms, and coaxed: "It's not the father...not you...it's the prince... If the prince didn't coax you, why did you come out of the palace? If you don't come out of the palace, okay How did Tao die? It's all the prince's fault... The prince promised to take you away, but he didn't keep the appointment... He's a liar... Xiao Shisan, Xiao Shisan, follow the father... The father will never lie You, by Emperor Father's side... No one will die anymore... No more..." He had already learned the whole story of this incident from Lu Yi's mouth.
Zhuang Yan could only repeat in a murmur: "It's the prince...the prince...if the prince didn't say to take me away...Xing Tao would not die...but he didn't come...brother prince...why didn't you come?! Answer me! Answer Yan'er! Brother Prince!" Zhuang Yan's emotions suddenly became agitated again. He went, so he simply chopped the back of his neck with one hand, and the man fell softly into his arms.
The author has something to say:
The blackening is completed in the next chapter, here is another opinion:
A. Continue to write the story of the prince becoming the emperor, and Yan Yan became a beautiful and handsome prince~
B. After the abuse, BE quickly withdraw, I don't want to see this world anymore huh!
When the emperor finds out about his disappearance, Long Yan will definitely be furious, maybe all the people in Fuxiu Palace will be buried with him...
Touching the bracelet on her wrist, she remembered that little guard who was infatuated with herself.This bracelet was a gift he had spent a whole year saving to give to himself...
Xing Tao couldn't help smiling slightly, feeling a little sweet and a little sad in her heart.She had already decided that when the emperor asked, she said that this matter was her own idea and had nothing to do with other people in Fuxiu Palace.Especially when she thought of Lvyi, she really couldn't bear to watch Lvyi, who had just been with Zhuang Yan for a few months and thought she could finally enjoy life, die unexpectedly.

I also beg His Majesty to let His Highness Thirteen go for the sake of Lian Ji who died innocently!" After finishing speaking, she picked up the jade cup and drank Qing Lingling's intestine-piercing poison in one gulp!
At that moment, the hot and burning liquid slid down the throat, burning the internal organs in an instant, Xing Tao fell to the ground, and blood slowly overflowed from the mouth and nose.What did she think of before she died?
The back view of the Thirteenth Highness leaving this morning full of hope, Lian Ji's ashen and dead face, the blushing young face when the little guard handed her the bracelet... Frames, scenes, flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern , and finally, sink into the boundless darkness.
The body on the ground was no longer breathing, and a strong smell of blood filled the entire dormitory. "Your Majesty, what should I do with this court lady?" asked the little eunuch.
The emperor said indifferently: "Leave it like this for now." He wanted to wait for him to catch Xiao Shisan back, let him take a good look at it, and dare to escape his fate!
"What about the other person?" the eunuch asked again.
Thinking of the weeping words just now, the emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "Keep it." Could it be that he really wanted to investigate what happened back then...
The eunuch is back.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince is indeed preparing to leave the palace. Fortunately, the servant walked quickly and stopped His Majesty the Crown Prince." The eunuch said, "Your Majesty is really good at predicting things."
The emperor sat in the political affairs hall without speaking. After approving a memorial, he asked, "Where is the prince now?"
The eunuch said: "Kneeling outside the hall."
The emperor looked at the cold weather outside the hall, said "hmm", and said, "Then let him continue to kneel and reflect for a while."
When the prince knelt, he knelt for two full hours.When the emperor called him in, he staggered a little, but was supported by the little eunuch.
"I said Your Highness, you will be soft later, Your Majesty is not hard-hearted." The eunuch couldn't see it, and whispered, "This time Your Majesty is really angry."
The prince pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.He walked into the hall, and the ten thousand statues in the hall were wearing a gorgeous and cold dragon robe, looking at the picture of two tigers fighting for food hanging on the wall with a lofty expression.
"Greetings Father." Zhuang Ke opened his mouth, but finally knelt down.
The emperor still turned his back to him. After a long time, a calm voice sounded: "Get up."
Zhuang Ke got up, and the emperor called out, "Come forward, Ke'er."
Zhuang Ke walked over, and the emperor was walking slowly on the picture with a knife in his hand. "Ke'er, look at this painting. Although these two tigers are ferocious, the difference in size is clear at a glance. Why is the little tiger so overconfident?" It was immediately pierced by the middle, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but if one of them has self-knowledge and knows how to restrain himself, when the big tiger grows old and weak, he will naturally have the strength to kill it, but the little tiger is still a little tiger, young and energetic, and dazed. In the end, the rabbit didn't eat it, and was beaten all over by the tiger. Do you think so, Ke'er?"
Zhuang Ke said: "It's just a rabbit. The big tiger obviously owns the whole forest, so why does it compete with the little tiger for a rabbit?"
The emperor smiled and said leisurely: "A strong man naturally likes a strong man. If everything is left to others, then he is not a strong man." He did not intend to pass on his affairs to the next generation.
At this time, someone came from outside the hall, saying that His Highness Thirteen had been found at the post station in the city.
Zhuang Ke's face turned pale, and he finally understood how naive he was before.The person I was facing was the emperor who ruled the Kyushu... The plan he thought was perfect was completely ruined within a day.
The emperor stared at the prince who was still too young for him, "Ke'er, don't try to fight your father, this is the second time, if there is a next time, you don't have to live in the East Palace anymore It's gone." After saying that, the emperor walked away in a huff.
On this side, Zhuang Yan was sitting dejectedly in the vestibule of Fuxiu Palace, his face was pale and his whole journey was like falling into a dream.
To him, the moment he escaped from the imperial city was a dream; in the post station, it was also a dream when he waited for a group of heavily armored guards instead of Zhuang Ke.But the former is full of hope, while the latter is hopeless.
somebody is coming.Zhuang Yan raised his head, and what he saw was that bright yellow figure that hurt people's eyes.The pain fell on his face, and he fell to the ground, dizzy for a while, and his mouth was sweet.
The emperor looked coldly at the boy who fell on the ground, his right cheek was red and swollen, and said in a cold voice, "Xiao Shisan, Father still spoils you too much."
Zhuang Yan covered his face and didn't speak for a while.What can he say?The moment he returned to Fuxiu Palace again, he was already dumb and deaf.
The emperor gave his eyes to the left and right, and the two eunuchs went up and grabbed Zhuang Yan's arms from left to right, and dragged him up, "Father, I will show you something." After finishing speaking, the emperor walked towards the dormitory .
Zhuang Yan was thrown on the floor of the dormitory, and a strong smell of blood was instantly squeezed into his mouth and nose. He was a little awake before his eyes, but was immediately horrified by the scene in front of him.
what did he seeThe familiar person, the person who always made fun of him, the person who grew up with him, now his face was covered with blood and mud, his eyes were closed, and his complexion was ashen.Zhuang Yan crawled over and grabbed her hand tremblingly, it was cold.
His tears fell on the back of her hand in an instant, and the young man said hoarsely: "...Xing Tao! Xing Tao, wake up! Wake up!" He wiped her face vigorously The blood had already dried up and turned black, and when he wiped it with his wet hands, it immediately turned bright red, "Xingtao!"
The emperor stood there, compassionate and cold, and said: "Xiao Shisan, don't blame the father for being cruel, it's all your fault, you killed her."
Zhuang Yan was choking, his ears and nose were ringing, was it his fault... he killed him... Looking down, his hands were covered with blood, he suddenly backed away, and fell to the ground in horror, "No, It's not my fault! I didn't kill Xing Tao! Xing Tao! Xing Tao, I didn't kill you!"
The emperor knelt down, grabbed his hands tightly, and said sternly to his ears: "Don't deny it! If you weren't thinking of running away, how could she die? If you weren't so capricious, how could she replace him?" Are you going to die? Xiao Shisan, what a bad boy, he actually killed the person who took care of him for 15 years..."
The emperor's words were like hypnosis and torture of conscience.
Zhuang Yan kept shaking his head, shaking his head, his consciousness was in a state of confusion, he could only wave his hands and feet indiscriminately, repeating mechanically: "It's not me...it's not me...it's not me!"
How could it be him?He obviously loves Xingtao so much, and he also helped Xingtao untie the knot in his heart to accept the person who likes her...Xingtao, she...she will be able to leave the palace soon, and she will be able to marry the person she likes soon Dead... no... how could she die?How could he kill him?
Zhuang Yan suddenly let out a shrill scream, grabbed the emperor's lapel tightly, and looked at him with hatred like poison, "It's you! It's you who killed Xingtao! It's you!"
The emperor stretched out his arms to hug him, pressed him tightly in his arms, and coaxed: "It's not the father...not you...it's the prince... If the prince didn't coax you, why did you come out of the palace? If you don't come out of the palace, okay How did Tao die? It's all the prince's fault... The prince promised to take you away, but he didn't keep the appointment... He's a liar... Xiao Shisan, Xiao Shisan, follow the father... The father will never lie You, by Emperor Father's side... No one will die anymore... No more..." He had already learned the whole story of this incident from Lu Yi's mouth.
Zhuang Yan could only repeat in a murmur: "It's the prince...the prince...if the prince didn't say to take me away...Xing Tao would not die...but he didn't come...brother prince...why didn't you come?! Answer me! Answer Yan'er! Brother Prince!" Zhuang Yan's emotions suddenly became agitated again. He went, so he simply chopped the back of his neck with one hand, and the man fell softly into his arms.
