Yeyou Palace, this sacred place, has lost all its former dignity. The glazed tiles and red pillars are still beautiful, but there is an air of decadence.

The candles in the Fengzao Terrace were still on, and the master hadn't rested yet. The beautiful face covered under the black scarf could hardly conceal the uneasiness and melancholy, and even the maid beside her felt somewhat depressed.

"Your Majesty, now you can finally be with Master Situ, why are you still unhappy?"

"After waiting for so many years, when this day finally comes, it is so unreal." Murong Piaoyang's voice drifted out faintly, "Although I have been looking forward to the day when I can stay with him forever, I never thought that it would be so This way. The emperor treats both of us well, but now, one of us is planning to leave him, and the other is planning to kill him, I'm not sure, is it really right to do this?"

"Your Majesty, for you, Master Situ would not hesitate to be charged with treason. If you don't support him, there will really be no one to support him."

"That's right, I was the one who killed him." Murong Piaoyang's melancholy eyes reflected the dim candlelight, "If it wasn't for him, he would definitely not have betrayed his lord, his brother."

"Even if there is no empress, the wolf king will still rebel, and it is inevitable that Master Situ will stand against the emperor."

"Yes, if I can only choose one, now I can only pray to the Demon God, please bless Yun Chu for peace." Murong Piaoyang smiled wryly, "After all, I have no family now, and only him is left."

Since the wolf king's rebellion, he has controlled officials of all sizes in the court, and imprisoned all the concubines in the harem. He has strictly blocked the news, and he does not want the news of the coup to spread to the front.But Situ Yunchu set off quietly, leading his men and horses to detour from the territory of the Wolf King to Lingshan, hoping to surprise the Demon Emperor's camp and annihilate him on the front line.

Murong Piaoyang couldn't help but worry when he thought that the two people who used to be brothers would fight to the death on the battlefield.Because she knew that betrayal was not Situ Yunchu's original intention, even before going out for the expedition, he was so hesitant, and he couldn't do it at all.

Although I know that I think so, it is really unfair.However, if the rebellion fails, there is only one dead end.She didn't want the one who died to be Situ Yunchu, so she could only hope that the one who died would be another one.

It's already winter, and the weather is very cold. I'm afraid there will be snow soon, and there are wind vents on both sides of Lingshan's natural moat. Whether it's the soldiers of the An Kingdom or the generals of the Yao Kingdom, such days are difficult.

Listening to Xuexuan, the heat is coming from the tea stove, the rich tea fragrance makes people drowsy, Xuan is wearing a big cloak, holding a small stove in his arms, every time in such weather, his heart is so heavy that he can't breathe , extremely uncomfortable.He missed his fire wolf fur rug a little, only then did he realize that Ji Nanfeng still had some advantages.

"What is the fifth prince thinking? It's your turn." The person opposite was already impatient, and pointed to the chessboard in front of him, "If you don't concentrate, you will lose."

"My lord is far-sighted, and it's normal to lose in chess." Xuan didn't intend to compete with Sikong Nuo on this chessboard, and what he had to deal with was to drop a word on that chessboard. He only thought that the opponent would win the game quickly and dismiss he leaves.

"If the fifth prince loses, it's not because I lost to this king. Before the chess game even started, you lost your fighting spirit. If you lose, you just lost to yourself." There has been a change, An Qi has decided that he will launch a general attack on the demon army in the near future, and strive to take down Lingshan before the first snow this year. He did this entirely for you, his dead fifth brother. You brothers are so affectionate , is really enviable."

"He wants to fight Ji Nanfeng recklessly, the possibility of success is really very small."

"Not necessarily. According to the news sent by the Demon King, he has already learned that the Wolf King has rebelled, and sent Situ Yunchu to Lingshan secretly to attack him by surprise." Si Kongnuo moved the white stones on the chessboard one by one. "If I were Situ Yunchu, I would definitely choose to launch an attack from the rear when Ji Nanfeng and An Qi faced each other, and with the help of An Guo's power, the entire army of the Demon Emperor would be wiped out. There might be an accident in this battle." result."

The wolf king actually asked Situ Yunchu to lead troops to attack Ji Nanfeng, which surprised Xuan even more than hearing the news of the wolf king's rebellion.Does this mean that the two brothers are going to turn against each other completely?Xuan knew in his heart that the reason why Situ Yunchu helped his father seize power was mostly because of Murong Piaoyang. If Ji Nanfeng knew the truth, he wondered if he could bear it.He is the most honorable emperor in the world, but his queen betrayed him together with his closest brother, let him how to deal with it.

"Fifth Prince, your complexion doesn't look very good, did you think of something bad?"

"Although I lost to the lord in the game of chess, the lord may not be able to defeat him on the battlefield." Xuan faintly smiled

"Who is the fifth prince referring to, Prince An Qi, or the Demon Emperor?"

"Let's wait and see, none of them are people who you can manipulate at will."

If you lose your face, you can't lose face. At this time, he has to show the momentum he should have, and he can't let this insidious and cunning prince get too proud.Xuan Sue met Shi Kongnuo, looked straight at him, and pretended to be full of confidence.

"An Yi, you are really interesting." Sikong Nuo was not angry, but smiled instead, "I understand a little bit why the Demon Emperor loves you so much. If you were a woman, this king might also be interested in you, but it's a pity that you A man, and this king is not as good as Long Yang."

"Really, in my opinion, this is my luck." Xuan replied very bluntly.

When the two were in a stalemate, there was a burst of noise outside the house, and the courtyard was noisy, as if the guards outside had quarreled with someone.

"Get out of the way, I want to see the prince."

"Princess, there are distinguished guests here. The prince has ordered that no one should disturb him except him."

"Guest, where did you come from? Since this is the case, naturally, this princess should pay a visit in person, and I will not lose the due courtesy!"

"Princess, you really can't go in, please understand the difficulties of the little people."

"Difficulties? Hmph! I'm afraid there are no distinguished guests here at all. It's your prince's golden house, who has raised some shady people."

Noisy voices could be heard faintly from the yard, and displeasure gradually appeared on Sikong Nuo's face.

"My lord, it seems to be my concubine..." Jing Chen next to me asked for instructions, "Do you want my subordinates to go out and ask my concubine to leave?"

"If she wants to come in, do you think you can stop her?" Si Kongnuo stood up, intending to go out and stop the person himself, he absolutely must not let Pingting see the comfort in the room.

However, before he could take a step, someone outside seemed to have knocked open the door and ran in.

Pingting didn't expect Sikong Nuo to be here, and was slightly taken aback.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" Si Kongnuo subconsciously blocked Xuan behind him with his body.

"I..." Pingting felt a little guilty at first, she didn't know that Sikong Nuo was here before she came here.During this period of time, she found that her husband always came here secretly, and would stay here for a long time, which made her suspicious, suspecting that the husband might have another woman.In the morning, Sikong Nuo told her that he was going to the front line to discuss the military situation with her elder brother today, so Pingting planned to meet this distinguished guest who hid in another courtyard and never showed up while Sikong Nuo was away.But he didn't expect that Si Kongnuo didn't go to the front line, but came to Ting Xuexuan, and as a result, the husband and wife ran into each other.Seeing that Si Kongnuo was blocking the person behind him, Pingting felt that her guess was right, the person behind him must be a woman, so she mustered up her courage and stood up straight, "What is the prince here for, I am here what for."

"The king is here to visit the distinguished guests. What's the matter with you breaking in like this? Didn't you hear the guards outside saying that without the order of the king, no one can disturb the guests?" Si Kongnuo's tone slightly increased Some "won't you hurry up and get out?"

"What kind of distinguished guest, the prince can see him, but I can't." Pingting was not frightened, the more Sikongnuo refused to let her see that person, the more she wanted to see him, and rushed up desperately.

Behind Si Kongnuo, Xuan was still sitting in his chair, and beside him was Jingchen, who clasped his shoulders, beckoning him not to move.

Although Sikongnuo blocked him, Xuan already knew the identity of the person who came, Sikongnuo's concubine, his imperial sister, Princess Pingting.At this time, he didn't know whether he should recognize the imperial sister or not.

"My lord, the imperial sister came to visit me, why don't you let us brothers and sisters meet?" Xuan suddenly pressed his shoulders, and with a slight movement of his figure, he escaped from Jingchen's grasp, and walked to Sikongnuo's side , smiled at the woman whose mouth grew wide because of surprise, "Pingting, do you still remember brother?"

"You...you..." Pingting pointed at the person in front of her trembling fingers, unable to believe her eyes.

"Why, don't you even know the fifth brother?" Xuan Xuan went straight to the young woman regardless of how ugly Sikong Nuo's face was next to him, "Although we brothers and sisters were not very close before you got married, we finally met each other in the palace." In a few days, the imperial sister should still remember to be a brother."

"Brother Huang?" Pingting called out suspiciously, but quickly shook her head again, "No, no, my fifth brother has already been killed by the demon emperor, you are not my fifth brother."

"If An Yi died, then who am I?" Xuan smiled.

"This..." Pingting blinked her eyes and looked at her husband helplessly, "My lord, what's going on? Who is he? Is he really my fifth brother?"

Is this An Yi intentionally making things difficult for him?Sikong Nuo glanced at him, seeing that Xuan was totally looking for a show.

"Pingting, don't be deceived by him." Si Kongnuo walked to his princess and explained in a good voice, "He is a spies from the demon clan captured by the king, the fox clan, who is good at illusion, and has become your royal brother's son." It's just a look."

"He's a fox?" Pingting still couldn't believe it, "How could he look like this?"

"This is a natural ability of their fox clan. It's not unusual. Don't be fooled by him."

"But, but how does he know who I am, and how did he know that I was not close to Fifth Brother before?"

"The fox clan is very cunning, maybe where did they get the information from." Sikong Nuo put his arms around his princess, "Okay, you go back first, if there is any problem, let's talk about it tonight. I still have something to interrogate the monster clan , but was interrupted by you breaking in, you should go back quickly."

"That's because I thought there was a..."

"Hiding a woman?" Si Kongnuo smiled, "Since I married you, the princess, which woman can fall into my eyes?"

Such love words, coming out of this guy's mouth, are really unbearable. What Ji Nanfeng said is more believable than what he said.Xuan shuddered, and gave Sikong Nuo a weird look.

"Is he really a fox? Can he really transform?" Pingting cast a suspicious look at Xuan Xuan. "My lord, let him transform for me to see something else."

"This..." Sikong Nuo choked on his princess' words.

"I'm not a fox, how could I change into a different look." Xuan didn't give face, and sneered, "If you want to talk about this method of transformation, I'm afraid Lord Sikong is the best person. It’s like the sky, it’s changing so fast.”

"Your words, why do I sound so awkward." Pingting felt that the person in front of her who looked like her fifth brother had something to say, as if he was scolding her husband in a different way.

"Sister, if you don't understand, you can ask your prince."

"Who the hell are you? Who is your imperial sister?" Pingting glared at Xuan.

"I told you, I'm An Yi." Of course Xuan would not be angry with his sister, and still had a smile on his face. "Otherwise, you can invite your prince brother to see if I'm lying?"

"That's enough, you monster, stop talking nonsense here." Sikong Nuo interrupted Xuan's words, and pulled Pingting to his side, "Pingting, don't listen to this monster's slander, you should be clear, Fifth Prince Your third brother snatched his body back from the enemy camp himself, and he is already dead."

"That's true." Pingting pouted, "This fox is really bad, and he wants to pretend to be my fifth emperor brother. If my prince brother finds out, I won't peel your fox skin."

"I don't mind, you can let An Qi come to see me, I'll wait for him to peel my skin." Xuan smiled innocently.

"You don't need Prince Anqi to come, if you talk nonsense again, I will skin you first." Si Kongnuo gave Xuan a hard look, and dragged his princess away.

Behind him, Xuan's unscrupulous laughter filled the room.

"Fifth Prince, you are playing with fire." Jing Chen stood coldly behind Xuan, with a cold sword resting on Xuan's neck.

"There, life is too boring, just looking for some fun." Xuan calmly pushed the sword around his neck, and walked to the finished chess game.The war on the chessboard is over, but the real battle has not yet reached a conclusion. Although a stalemate has formed, it may not be a deadlock.

Maybe, it will come back to life.
