Gongshang Confidante

Cough cough, cough cough, Emperor Jing Hong coughed violently. He had just woken up from a coma. Poured a glass of water and sent it to Emperor Jing Hong,

Cough, cough, cough, Emperor Jing Hong's neck was flushed from coughing, and his sallow face turned purple. Li Chengqian supported him, raised his head and drank, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the third prince led his troops to follow the empress' empress. The personal guards fought, and there were countless casualties outside Ning'an Hall..."

"Nizi! Naughty beast!" Emperor Jing Hong threw the cup forcefully at Zhou Yue, trembling with anger, and reprimanded, "Don't think I don't know about your collusion with King Dian!!", "Father, My son is wrong, but brother Huang is indeed not worthy to be the king of a country," Zhou Yue knelt down on the ground and said,

Emperor Jing Hong clutched his chest, panted violently, pointed his finger and cursed, "Naughty animal! You are really as ambitious and greedy as the Xue family! This throne belongs to me, and I will give it to whoever I say?! You can't help it!" Talk too much! The Xue family is dead, why don't you understand how to keep yourself safe?!!",

Zhou Yue's face turns white and turns red. When mentioning the Xue family, it will always be a pain in his heart. He raised his head, his eyes gradually darkened, and his tone became colder, "Father, have you forgotten that the death of the Xue family is all Father's will!",

"You! You are bold!" Coughing, Emperor Jing Hong threw the jade pillow towards Zhou Yue and shouted, "Come on! Bind up this rebellious son! Come on!",

The jade pillow smashed towards Zhou Yue, he dodged, the jade pillow fell to the ground, making a crisp and loud sound, the fragments splashed, cut Zhou Yue's cheek, leaving a bloodstain, the blood overflowed... stained red His face, lips tightly pressed.

It was quiet outside the door, and Emperor Jing Hong's roar was like a stone falling into the sea, unable to make any waves.

Zhou Yue lowered his head, held the sword in his right hand, tightened his fingers, and his fingertips trembled slightly. He lifted up the hem of his robe and stood up with a solemn and gloomy expression. For the collusion with the King of Dian, then the only thing left to do is to sink the boat.

One step, one step, one step, the blood on the sword flowed without leaving a trace, and the blood splashed on the ground like plums, which gradually solidified and turned black.

"Father, please issue an order." With a sullen face, Zhou Yue raised his arms, pointed his sword at Emperor Jing Hong, and said word by word, "Depose the position of the crown prince, make your son the crown prince, and return the full name of the Xue family. Conferred the posthumous title of mother and concubine, and moved to the imperial mausoleum for burial!",

"Do you know what you are doing?!" Emperor Jing Hong was angry and mournful, covering his chest with his hands, and cursed indisputably, "The decline of the Xue family and the death of your mother and concubine are all to blame. Go their way?!",

Zhou Yue's eyes were red, and he said, "I don't want to stay in Xishu for the rest of my life, and bear the grievances of the Xue family and the concubine mother. Only when the minister ascends the throne can I have the face to see the concubine mother and the Xue family under Jiuquan in the future." souls of the dead...",

"Nizi! Never change after repeated admonition!", Emperor Jing Hong's face was ashen, and his hands tightly covered his chest, "I really misjudged you!!",

Zhou Yue waved his sword impatiently, and said, "It's useless to talk too much! Let the emperor make an order!" The tip of the sword turned and pointed at Li Chengqian, "Please trouble Eunuch Li to prepare paper and ink",

Li Chengqian stood still, Zhou Yue's eyes were fierce, a sword pierced into his left arm, blood gushed, and threatened, "Eunuch Li... Those who know current affairs are heroes...",

"Nizi! Nizi! If I knew you were so heartless, I shouldn't have left you in the first place! I should have let you go with your mother and concubine!" Emperor Jing Hong frowned, with a painful expression on his face, and grabbed the chest on his chest with one hand. The dragon robe, the nine-clawed golden dragon curled up,

Zhou Yue sneered, "If it wasn't for my minister's quick walk, I'm afraid I would have met my mother and concubine Huang Quanxia long ago. They all said that tiger poison does not eat offspring, but my father let my minister stay in a place where he would die at any time in Xishu. In comparison, the son-in-law is much more generous to the father? As long as the father issues the decree according to the son-in-law, the son-in-law will take good care of the father!",

Emperor Jing Hong was shocked, angry, heartbroken, and sad, and at the end he laughed sadly, "In this life, I have enjoyed the shade of the first queen mother, and the country has been prosperous and the people have been safe for more than ten years. Everything! I will never allow the Zhou Dynasty to fall on you, an unworthy son who harbors evil intentions, plots rebellion, kills and rebels!",

The outside gradually became quiet, and Zhou Yue was a little flustered. He pointed the tip of his sword and reached Emperor Jing Hong's throat.

Emperor Jing Hong couldn't stop laughing, his face was red and white, and when he slowed down, he paused, spat out a mouthful of blood, the blood splashed on the dragon quilt, and blossomed red plum blossoms, "Your Majesty! ", Lee Seung-qian shouted worriedly,

Emperor Jing Hong waved his hand, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, his eyes were dead silent, and his breath was weak, "I order you and the King of Dian to return to Xishu immediately to save your lives!! If you are willing to go back to Xishu honestly Now, Ren'er has promised me that I will never make it difficult for you in the future!! But you chose this road of no return!",

"Your servant has no choice!" "There is no choice at all!" Zhou Yue's hand holding the sword trembled, he swallowed his saliva, and took two steps forward, showing a deadly look, "Father, don't Force me to...",

"Yue'er..." Emperor Jing Hong just called him, looking into his eyes, all the anger and pain seemed to have disappeared, showing a little kindness in his eyes, and only said, "I didn't Teach you well... ",

As the words faded away, Emperor Jing Hong tilted his head, let go of the hand holding his chest, and fell powerlessly on the side of the couch.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... quickly find the imperial physician..." Li Chengqian shook Emperor Jing Hong, seeing that he didn't respond, turned his head, glanced at Zhou Yue, trembling his hands, and put his finger on Emperor Jing Hong's chest in fear. Under the nose, plop, Li Chengqian knelt down on the ground, with a sad expression, and wept hoarsely, "The emperor... the emperor... passed away...",

Dang, Zhou Yue's sword fell to the ground, and seeing Emperor Jing Hong's ashen and pale face, he couldn't help taking two steps back, and looked around in a panic, only to feel that his mind was in a mess and he lost his mind for a while.

"Stop!" Someone shouted outside the door, footsteps were approaching step by step, the door was pushed open, and the guards were holding knives, facing the outside, retreating step by step, turned their heads and said, "Third Prince, Princess Zhaoning Leading people to come." Turning around, he saw Emperor Jing Hong and Mang Mang lying on the couch

Zhou Yue was at a loss, but the guards were stunned.

"The thieves have been wiped out by the coefficients, so hurry up and abandon your weapons," Ye Fu shouted loudly, surrounding them, and the imperial guards separated a small path. Zhou Chiyu walked forward slowly, frowning, his tone cold, "Zhou Yue conspired to rebel and commit crimes, so don't help the tyrant!",

The guards looked at Zhou Yue and saw him standing there with his head bowed, not knowing what to think, and shouted anxiously, "Prince, what should we do now?",

Zhou Yue raised his head slowly, turned his face sideways, and saw Zhou Chiyu in front of him, with black hair tied casually with jade hairpins, he put on a plain brocade robe hastily, and held a blood-dripping sword in his hand. He had never been able to bear the stains The embroidered shoes under his feet were covered with sticky blood, his pretty face was covered with clouds, and he looked at himself solemnly.

"Heh", Zhou Yue chuckled, "There is something wrong with the Ning'an Palace. The empress and the second brother knew about it, but they didn't show up for a long time. Instead, it was you, the eldest sister of the emperor, who led the people and killed them without thinking of themselves. , if the emperor knows, what should I think?"

With a cold face, Zhou Chiyu reprimanded, "Now that the situation is over, I don't want to meet you in front of my father, throw down the sword in your hand!!",

Zhou Yue lowered his head and remained silent. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards immediately panicked. Ye Fu took the opportunity to arrest them and escorted them all away.

"It's a pity, father will never know again..." Zhou Yue said softly, Zhou Chiyu was flustered, turned his head to look, and saw Li Chengqian kneeling next to Emperor Jing Hong and crying softly, Emperor Jing Hong opened his eyes, his face was ashen ashes ...

Zhou Chiyu shook, her body trembled slightly, her face turned pale, she walked up to Zhou Yue, raised her hand and slapped him, Zhou Yue grabbed her hand, looked straight up, her eyes were dead silent, but the corner of her mouth held bloodthirsty. With a smile, "No, no regrets...".

Zhou Chiyu made a gesture to break free, his hand was tightly clenched, "Let go!" Ye Fu raised his sword and pointed,

Zhou Yue didn't look at him, but looked at Zhou Chiyu, her face was reflected in her eyes, clear eyes, many things from her childhood came to mind, she pushed him into the puddle, she quietly put the frog beside his bed ...

"I won't let you and Brother Huang have a chance to kill me." Zhou Yue smiled, and he let go of his hand. There was a bright red mark on Zhou Chiyu's slender and fair wrist.

Zhou Yue raised his sword, Ye Fu stepped forward to protect Zhou Chiyu, the sword fell and pierced Zhou Yue's lower abdomen, bleeding from his mouth, he fell to the ground, opened his eyes, and stared at Zhou Chiyu without blinking until he died .

Zhou Chiyu pursed his lips, frowned, clenched his fingertips, tried his best to restrain himself, and said, "Put it down", Ye Fu ordered people to lift Zhou Yue up, revealing a dazzling golden part from the front of his robe, Ye Fu waved his hand to stop it, stepped forward and took it out from Zhou Yue's arms, it turned out to be a budding golden lotus, with emerald jade as the stem and pure gold as the petals...

"Your Highness", Ye Fu handed it to Zhou Chiyu. It was very strange that Zhou Yue would carry it with him on such an important night. Zhou Chiyu recognized this thing. It was at the flower viewing banquet held by the eldest princess that Zhou Yue won the first prize. Yes, a thousand-weight emerald jade cold golden lotus.

The golden lotus saw the fire, and gradually, the lotus petals slowly unfolded, as if a living lotus flower was in full bloom, lifelike, Ye Fu's eyes widened, it was the first time he saw such a rare thing.

The lotus petals, as thin as cicada's wings, unfolded layer by layer, and there were hundreds of hair-thin cloisonné enamel in the lotus heart, holding a slightly broken silk flower, which seemed out of place.

The pure white silk flower was dyed a circle of pink, it was the poppies silk flower that Zhou Chiyu wore on his head that day.

Zhou Chiyu's brows twitched fiercely, and her face was gloomy. She held the silk flower in her palm, handed the Thousand Cold Golden Lotus to Ye Fu, and said, "If Master likes it, I will give it to you."

"This, this, is too precious..." Ye Fu shied away, seeing that Zhou Chiyu didn't take it seriously, he kowtowed for the reward, and asked his subordinates to keep it away like a treasure.

Zhou Chiyu exerted a little force, and the silk flower in his hand turned into crumbs and fell to the ground.
