Proudly follow your heart

On the seat, the emperor was dressed in a yellow robe and a jade crown. In front of the steps, the two stepped on the snow with their sleeves shoulder to shoulder. Huang De never imagined that Nangong Cangao, who gave him headaches, would eventually become a thorn in his side.

If it wasn't for him, the two might not have known each other at all.If they never met, there would be no today.God's will tricks people, nothing more than this.

"Jun Zhanran." The voice came from above, and the voice was deep.

He didn't call him by his name, but called him Jun Zhanran.In Huang De's eyes, he may be a man of the quack and a merchant, but he is by no means the prince who was most favored by the former emperor.

Twirling the corner of his mouth, Jun Zhanran showed a mocking look, "Does your memory get worse as you get older, and you don't remember the person in front of you named Huang Zhan?" It makes people see the indifference like overlooking.

He didn't take him seriously at all!Huang De tightened his hands on the seat, his face was ferocious, "Whether you are Huang Zhan or Jun Zhanran, you shouldn't come back, and you shouldn't appear in front of me!"

"I'm just here to get justice."

Finally at this time, Nangong Cangao didn't know how Jun Zhanran felt, he looked so calm, as cold as when he first met him, as if he had never been in this world.

As if sensing the worry in his heart, Jun Zhanran gently touched him with his lowered wrist, and Nangong Cangao touched down his wrist, holding his hand in his palm.

Jun Zhanran's palm was still dry and steady, he held him under his sleeve, and Nangong Cangao felt the slight trembling on his fingertips.

This is excitement?Or angry?Nangong Cang Ao held him even tighter.

Huang De sneered contemptuously, "What's fair?! You disrupted the court and caused turmoil in the world, causing wars and chaos in the Xia Kingdom, and the people are in dire straits! Your so-called revenge is only for your own selfishness, you just want to regain the throne!"

His jealousy and resentment were almost written on his face, Jun Zhanran looked at him for a while, "Although we are brothers, you don't understand me at all, Huangde, what I want is never Daxia, what I want is Your expression today is not bad, it is now—”

Huangde's complexion was distorted, and he stood up abruptly. Jun Zhanran looked at him and laughed, "Why didn't you kill me with your own hands that day? Do you regret why your father regarded me as the crown prince, but turned a blind eye to you, the eldest prince?" ? Huangde, you tried every means to get rid of me, and you just said one thing, you, afraid of me—you have always been afraid of me!"

Laughing, spread in the empty hall, arrogant, conceited, looking around, overlooking the palace gate, Jun Zhanran's eyes seemed to have fire dancing.

"I'm afraid of you?!" Huang De's face changed, "It's just nonsense! I got the throne by myself, and I had no choice but to kill you that day. If you want to blame, you will blame yourself! Who told you to please the emperor? , he intends to make you the crown prince, whichever other princes are convinced, sooner or later someone else will do it if I don't do it! The so-called first strike is the best, I have no regrets at all for what I did that day!"

Killed siblings, seized the throne, never regretted it?Jun Zhanran was expressionless, but Nangong Cangao's heart was about to ache for him.

"Huang De, if you have anything else you want to say, you can say it together. Today, you will not leave here alive." The sun-shielding knife has been sheathed, and Nangong Cangao's words are not threats, but telling the ending.

The revenge of the Nangong family and the death of Nangong Jin are more than a few lives. He holds Jun Zhanran with one hand, and looks directly at Huangde with his sharp eagle eyes.

Long, narrow and dark eyes with torch-like gaze. Many people said that Nangong Cangao's eyes were sharp. Huang De knew it, but it was the first time he felt it so clearly, with murderous intent, eyes that seemed to be able to pierce people, as real.

Throat trembled, he swallowed, combined with the power of Nangong Cang Ao and Jun Zhanran, not to mention him alone, even if there were a few more masters, they would not be able to stop their combined attack.

"You are really scared." Nangong Cang Ao took a step forward with a half-smile.

"In order to ascend to the throne, it is understandable to use any means. One will be successful, let alone one under the throne, but you should not kill loyal ministers, brothers, and even more should not kill my father Nangong Jin and destroy the Nangong family!"

How can Huang De be able to resist the prestige of a master, he forced himself to be calm, recalled the past, and said with hatred: "If Nangong Jinwei hadn't killed Huang Zhan that day, wouldn't we be here today!"

"Huang Zhan should be dead already, at the hands of Nangong Jin!" One wrong step, the whole game was lost, Huang De crushed the seat.

One side of the throne shattered, just like the imperial city in Jun Zhanran's heart began to collapse at that moment on that day.

"I remember the blood on that day, I remember the blood red in front of my eyes, from the day I was betrayed by my closest relatives, I dare not forget it, the pain of that day, the hatred of that day! You have to pay it back, Huang De—"

"You are right, I am no longer Huang Zhan! Since the day Huang Zhan died, I told myself that there is no such person in the world! Huang Zhan has been killed by his siblings, and he is already under the throne A dead bone, died in the chaos of the palace that day, and died by a sharp knife!"

His voice was like ice, but Jun Zhanran's serious expression became more and more venomous, and he said slowly: "So... you just treat me as a wronged ghost, and come here to claim your life."

After Youyou's words fell, the burning hatred in his eyes suddenly extinguished, leaving only a void.

He looked at Huang De, as if he was not a living person, but a dead thing, "I'm tired of it, I remember what happened back then, Huang De, why don't you die?"

He raised his hand.

The almost flawless palm is evenly white, like jade but not jade, as if it is not a real human hand, but comes from the sky.

The ghost hand is unparalleled, Huang De couldn't help looking at that hand, as if Yan Luo searched for his soul, and had taken his soul away.

Jun Zhanran was stopped by a person, and this person was of course Nangong Cangao, "I'll come."

"Could it be that you're afraid that I won't be able to attack him?" He was displeased.

Nangong Cang Ao just said it again, "Let me do it."

He suddenly realized that even if Huangde deserved to die, even if he didn't care about killing his brother, Nangong Cangao didn't want him to kill his siblings himself.

Before the knife was raised, and the palm was not down, Huang De stood on the steps, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he was jumping. They actually decided in front of him who would take his life? !

"You have tried your best to let me witness the decline of Daxia in my hands, and you did it! You are willing to bet and admit defeat. I lost, but I am not reconciled! If you want to get Daxia easily, it is not so easy!" Huang De Turning around, he took out an oil lamp from nowhere.

At the side door, Huang Xuan, covered in blood, staggered, "Father...My son, I have done everything as you said..."

He was seriously injured and forced himself to support himself. Even though he was about to die, he still had to do what Huang De entrusted him with. This matter could not be left to others, but a prince had to do it. What is it?

Nangong Cang Ao saw the smoke billowing in the hall, thought in his heart, took a deep breath, besides the smell of ambergris, he also smelled other things, "Zhan Ran, it's lamp oil!"

"He's going to set fire!" The light of an oil lamp in Huangde's hand flickered, Jun Zhan suddenly changed his expression.

"That's right, it's lamp oil... I took great pains to plant it around the hall. You want your father's life, and he also wants your life. Why don't we die together, and go with this hall!" Huang Xuan hastily applied the wound medicine, but the blood was still flowing, he gasped and laughed.

Apart from him, no one was seen in the palace, the maids, guards, and ministers were all gone.

Jun Zhanran's heart sank, "Huangde, you want everyone to be buried with you!"

"Big Xia belongs to me, and this imperial palace also belongs to me. Empresses, ministers, maids, and attendants, none of them eat the salary I gave. If I die, don't they want to live!" Huang De kicked over the incense burner. , with one hand held high, the lotus-shaped oil lamp was suspended in the air, and the light was flickering, his face flickered, which was extremely terrifying.

The incense in the hall concealed the smell of lamp oil. Now that the incense has dissipated, the smell of lamp oil gradually wafts away. As long as Huang De lets go, the hall will be surrounded by fire.

"If you don't want your emperor's son to die, put down the oil lamp!" The sun-shielding knife rested on Huang Xuan's neck, the blade was icy cold, piercing one's soul.

Huangxuan lost a lot of blood and was extremely weak. It was not easy not to fall down immediately. How could he have the strength to resist? Huangde glanced at him, and he took a breath, "Father, it is you who they hate, if you die with them Yu Liehuo, when the time comes, the kingdom of Xia will be left without a master, and the emperor will have to deal with it, if you don't save me, who will inherit the throne of Daxia?"

This was agreed a long time ago, Huang De delays time, Huang Xuan spreads lamp oil, as long as they die, Huang Xuan will succeed to the throne and clean up the mess.

Huang De didn't move his hand holding the lotus lantern, and smiled strangely, "Huang Er, it seems that you really believe my words, very good."

Huangxuan suddenly opened his eyes, "What do you mean by father's words!" As long as he put down the lotus lamp to temporarily stabilize Nangong Cangao, wouldn't it be difficult to try to light the fire afterwards?

"Compared with the throne, compared with this hall, which one is more important?" Huang De looked around, "I tell you, in fact, you are no different from the ministers standing there. I treat you kindly only because you are still It's useful, so go ahead, being buried with me is not an insult to you, after all, you were just an abandoned child on the road."

Foundling? !Huang Xuan's already pale face suddenly lost its color, "You said... what...?"

Huangxuan was very ambitious, smart since childhood, no one looked down upon him, even his father, Emperor Pingkang Huangde, to tell the truth, he might not have taken it all seriously, but now, Huangde suddenly said to him, He is not a prince at all, just an outcast on the side of the road?

"Impossible!" Huang Xuan guessed that Ding Huangde said this in order to deceive Nangong Cang Ao.

"It's possible." Jun Zhanran answered suddenly, "No wonder I've never met your emperor's son. I finally understand why you resented me so much when you thought I had an heir. More people are coming to put me to death, Huang De, didn't all your princes belong to you?"

"This is God's will, God's will is unfair!" Huang De's eyes became even more hateful, and he said through gnashing of teeth, "Why, why did I work so hard to win the throne, but none of the concubines conceived my flesh and blood! No one can inherit my throne! Who would have thought that the majestic Lord of the Xia Kingdom would not allow a woman to conceive a child for me!"

"Could it be true? All the imperial physicians were executed, and the personnel in the Imperial Physician Pavilion are often replaced for this reason?! I am not the son of the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, I am an abandoned child?" Huang Xuan's face was ashen.

"I'm an outcast...I'm an outcast...How is it possible! How is it possible!" With his arrogance, how could he accept this fact, murmured, his eyes darkened, and he fell forward.

At this moment, Nangong Cang Ao withdrew his hand, threw the knife, startled like an arrow, and threw the blade at Huangde, only heard a scream, a broken palm flew up, the lotus lantern shook, and it came out, Jun Zhan ran on him Go forward, raise your sleeves——

The palm of the lotus lamp is light and dark gold, and the lotus heart swayed for a while, then calmed down.

Nangong Cang Ao heaved a sigh of relief, Huang De held his severed wrist and fell down on the jade steps, his eyes were reddened, and the blood from the severed wrist meandered down, staining the jade steps red.

"I... can't be reconciled! After planning for several years, becoming the emperor, sitting on the throne, holding great power, but I can only watch helplessly as you catch up step by step. Could it be that what the father said was right? You are the one." A suitable candidate for the emperor? Among all the princes, only you are born with the heart of an emperor? Know people and make good use of them, and you are destined to be the emperor..."

Recalling what Emperor Yongsheng said on the spur of the moment, the unwillingness and hatred in Huangde's heart burned like wildfire. Over the years, they burned like this, making him sleepless and sleepless at night.

Jun Zhanran had never heard of this, and was surprised when Huang De's words suddenly stopped and looked in their direction with joy in his eyes, Nangong Cangao became alert and turned his head abruptly.

Huangxuan didn't know when he woke up, took out a fire pocket from his arms, and ignited a cluster of flames, "Huangxuan... is the great prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, and no one can change it..."

Pfft, in the blink of an eye, the flames hit the curtain.

Jun Zhanran raised his palm, and Huang Xuan's whole body was blown away by the force of the palm. The blood hole in his chest was deep enough to show his bones.Falling to the ground, he lowered his head slowly, and saw his exposed viscera. With the last bit of strength, he straightened the broken skirt.

For some reason, before he died, the first time he saw Rong Ziru appeared, he said to the slightly nervous new king on the throne——

"...I am Huangxuan, Prince Xia." He whispered to himself, closing his eyes twitching.

The fire fell to the ground and burned the curtain, Nangong Cang Aofei stomped it out with one foot in front of him, but lamp oil had already been spread behind the curtain, where it was extinguished, and a raging fire suddenly burned there.

In an instant, the hall was surrounded by flames.
