On the second day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the sixth year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu ordered the eldest princess to take Lu Wuyong and Liu Yu to the West Wei Kingdom and ordered them to leave immediately.

I didn't understand why the emperor was in such a hurry, all the ministers were talking about it, even Zhu Qiaoxin, who was going to court for the first time after a serious illness, showed surprise.

Thinking of the secret report just delivered to him, Emperor Wu immediately said in a loud voice: "Emperor Xi Wei ascended the throne, we should have sent congratulatory gifts earlier. But recently, one after another incidents occurred in the court, so we have been delaying this matter. Now- --"

Taking a look at Zhu Qiaoxin below, Emperor Wu said softly, "Imperial Sister, it's hard work for you now. If you leave early, you may be able to catch up with Xiwei's last celebration!"

He closed his eyes lightly, feeling as if everything was destined.Zhu Qiaoxin hurriedly knelt down and said in a very low voice: "My sister obeys the order, brother, don't worry, I will set off in the afternoon!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Squeezing out a smile quickly, Emperor Wu couldn't wait to tell Lu Wuyong and Liu Yu.

At the end of the afternoon on the second day of May in the sixth year of Jianyuan, Zhu Qiaoxin took a last look at his elder brother standing on the tower of Gaogao Meridian Gate, and slowly got into his carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, the carriage finally turned around.Leaning in the car and looking at her brother's hand that she just touched, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly curled her fingers and closed her eyes.

Above the Meridian Gate, he watched the army of carriages gradually moving away from his sight.Emperor Wu only felt that his whole body was weak, so he hurriedly supported the city wall in front of him. Emperor Wu hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Send me over there, and let the nearby garrison search all the people. They must be found. If you want to see them, you will die." See the corpse."

The guard standing behind him hurriedly passed the decree to make arrangements, and slowly covered his chest with his hands, looking at Emperor Wu in the distance, he felt very impatient.

Zhu Qiaoxin was hurriedly recalled by the people sent by Emperor Wu just one day after leaving Yancheng.

After Xiang pretended to ask anxiously, Zhu Qiaoxin immediately ordered the team to divert back to Beijing.

Most of the people in the group didn't know why, but they all knew that something was wrong, so they all hurried away quickly.On the morning of the fourth day, when Zhu Qiaoxin entered the Great Zhou Palace again, the atmosphere in the whole palace had become completely different.

"Princess, do you want to---" Seeing that all the doors in the entire palace, all the corridors and courtyards have been guarded by heavy soldiers, Yun Zheng became worried.

"Nothing!" Looking at Zhong Qiande who hurried over in front, Zhu Qiaoxin said in a low voice: "You just need to stay here and do nothing, and don't worry about anything else!"

Feeling that she had something to say, she hurriedly glanced at the silent younger brother beside her.Yun Zheng quickly raised his head, but at this time Zhu Qiaoxin had already strode forward.

"See---"

"What happened to the emperor?"

The two opened their mouths at the same time, and Zhong Qiande was stunned for a while.After Zhu Qiaoxin glanced at him and didn't get a reply, she walked past him and walked inward.

His face turned ugly, and he led his subordinates to get up quickly. Zhong Qiande hurriedly followed: "The emperor fainted this time without any warning, and the imperial doctor couldn't find out the reason. Yesterday morning, the emperor was able to hold on for a while, but never Since last night, the emperor has been a little delirious."

The forward footsteps paused, Zhu Qiaoxin looked ahead and asked suddenly: "Have you searched the palace?"

Zhong Qiande's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously shook his head.He came in a hurry, and now it is not easy to quickly seal up the entire palace.

"Trash! If there is no warning, no reason, and the imperial doctor can't explain why, it must not be a disease. If it is poisoning or witchcraft, since the emperor has never been out of the palace, the murderer must still be in the palace. China has not yet sent someone to search!"

Seeing Zhu Qiaoxin's resolute attitude, Zhong Qiande could only clap his fists and hurriedly walked out with a few of his men as he had no idea.

Step forward step by step, the closer you get to the inner hall, the stricter the guards around you will be.

Just as he was approaching the vermilion lacquer gate of Xuanwu Hall, Zhu Qiaoxin turned his head and ordered: "Go and send an order to arrest all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and I will interrogate them myself. There is also the imperial dining room, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also send more people to investigate carefully. By the way, if we send more people from the outer hall of Xuanwu Hall, we must not allow anyone to come in and out at will."

Several inner court guards left behind by Zhong Qiande heard the words and looked at each other, not sure whether to follow in or obey orders.

His complexion turned cold, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly scolded: "Get out of here---"

The few people were shocked, and at this moment, looking at the densely packed guards at the entrance of the Xuanwu Hall, Zhu Qiaoxin was obviously angry and shouted in a low voice: "What's going on here, a bunch of trash who don't understand the rules. I want to discuss important matters with the emperor. Don’t you guys know how to dodge? Back off all of you!”

The guards at the gate of the inner hall were all startled and quickly backed away, and the few people who Zhong Qiande had arranged to stay beside the princess also quickly backed away.

Staring at the few of them motionlessly, Zhu Qiaoxin stepped forward and slowly pushed open the red lacquer door of the inner hall of Xuanwu Hall after seeing that they all retreated.

"Is it Qiaoxin?" After Zhu Qiaoxin walked through the front hall and gradually approached the innermost part, Emperor Wu's voice was as thin as a gossamer.

"It's my brother!" Zhu Qiaoxin turned to the back room and said softly, "Brother Huang, it's me, Qiaoxin is back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Slowly opening his eyes, Emperor Wu gasped heavily.

Completely taking a panoramic view of the entire dragon bed, seeing that it was just a simple action of opening his eyes, Zhu Qiaoxin quickly stepped forward.

"Brother Huang, I have already sent Zhong Qiande to search the palace. I have been sick before and know the reaction, so you must not be sick, who should be rebellious---"

Zhu Qiaoxin's hand on Emperor Wu's arm trembled slightly.

Thinking she was afraid, Emperor Wu struggled to hold her hand.

The sallow and sallow five fingers stretched out in front of him, and a trace of timidity flashed in his heart.Zhu Qiaoxin hesitated for a moment, but soon she stretched out her hands and firmly held his right hand stretched in mid-air.

Clasping both hands, Zhu Qiaoxin's hands were covered with sweat, but Emperor Wu's hands were as cold as a piece of ice that had been soaked in ice water for a long time.

"Qiaoxin, help--help me find Gao Feng, okay?" At this time, Emperor Wu couldn't care about anything else, he only cared about his younger brother.

"Brother Huang?" Zhu Qiaoxin didn't seem to understand what he meant, and looked at him again.

Lying on the wide dragon bed, Emperor Wu continued to say angrily, "I---I sent someone---to go to his territory, but he is not there. Qingfeng Gang-help me find him, I--"

"Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense, you will be fine." Holding his hand tightly, Zhu Qiaoxin's tone at this moment was more determined.

Didn't notice this, Emperor Wu raised his hands suddenly and said loudly: "No, listen to me and get him back. I don't think it's going to work. You, you must, you must help your second brother-- -He's never--never dealt with government affairs, I'm afraid--"

Looking at her pinched blue right hand, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly didn't say a word.

His head suddenly brightened, and Emperor Wu hurriedly changed his words: "No, it's not Qiaoxin. I --- I don't want to hand over the government to you. It's just that you are a woman, and your body ---"

"I see. I may not live for three months. I understand the emperor, and I will get the second brother back." Squeezing out a smile, Zhu Qiaoxin still looked at Emperor Wu and said softly: "Emperor brother Hurry up, you'll be fine, you--"

"That's good, that's good!" After getting what he wanted, Emperor Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.His complexion improved slightly, and when Zhu Qiaoxin continued to comfort him, Emperor Wu suddenly said in a very low voice: "Qiaoxin, Yue Qingfeng is gone."

"You---what did you say?" The smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly let go of Emperor Wu's hand.

The right hand beat down weakly, and Emperor Wu looked at Zhu Qiaoxin with apologetic face: "I--I didn't think of it. I have--arranged, let her-- let her go to the border to live well, I-- -I have arranged everything and no one will make it difficult for her."

"What's wrong with her?" Zhu Qiaoxin stood up suddenly from his bed, her body trembling.

"She jumped off Chi-Chi Jiang, my people-my people didn't stop her!"

"Chi Jiang? You didn't stop him?" Zhu Qiaoxin stared at his elder brother on the dragon bed in disbelief, and retreated little by little in a panic.

"I-I sent someone to salvage it." Trying to explain, Emperor Wu hurriedly struggled to get up: "But you also know that it is Chi Jiang. I shouldn't, I shouldn't be so impulsive. I- --I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhu family, she is--she is yours--"

Seeing his mouth opening and closing, Zhu Qiaoxin slid and knelt on the ground: "I-I don't believe it! How could she treat me like this, how could she abandon me, how could she be willing!"

"Don't be stupid, Qiaoxin, she - she is the daughter of Little Huangshu. She is a posthumous child like Zheng Tang, and she is your cousin. If you are really together, it will be intolerable!"

At this moment, Emperor Wu was not so difficult to speak, trying to appease Zhu Qiaoxin, Zhu Shoujiang completely ignored the abnormality on his body.

His head was dizzy, and he looked up at his arrogant appearance.Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly became quiet.

Looking up at him without moving, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly said expressionlessly: "Did you kill her?"

"I didn't!" The voice suddenly became louder, and Emperor Wu suddenly sat up from the bed. It wasn't until this moment that he noticed that his body, which had been weak just now, suddenly gained strength.

Since the morning, he didn't use any medicine and even drove away all the imperial physicians. Seeing that his body suddenly improved, Emperor Wu was not stupid and immediately looked at Zhu Qiaoxin in disbelief.

"You killed her, but you actually killed her? If she is gone, why are you still alive?" The voice was full of madness and despair, Zhu Qiaoxin stood up slowly.

"You—what did you do to me?" His eyes were full of anger, and Emperor Wu hurriedly struggled to get up, but he just moved once before feeling weak again.

"After she left, I soaked my fingers in the juice of seal throat grass for a day and a night." Slowly raising her hands, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly became excited: "The imperial doctor said that the thing saw blood seal throat, come and see me On the day when I grabbed your hand, I was reluctant to do it to you. So I thought I'd just put you in a coma for a whole day, and when you were unconscious, I would be able to take charge of the government, and I could personally order her to be brought over and we Then we can go far away and leave Dazhou together. But now you tell me that she is gone, she is gone, how can you treat me like this, Brother Huang."

"You—you—come—come!" Emperor Wu suddenly fell off the bed and crawled on the ground to support himself.He pointed at Zhu Qiaoxin, whose eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Come here, come here, give me----"

Slowly retreating bit by bit, he took out a small white porcelain bottle in his arms, and threw it into the bronze furnace cauldron in the center of the hall without hesitation.Looking at the red flame that suddenly rushed up, Zhu Qiaoxin laughed and said, "It's not necessary now, so I'm a woman's kindness. I should have done something to you earlier, but I was so stupid that I brought the antidote with me. "

Almost at the same time that Zhu Qiaoxin threw the porcelain bottle into the furnace, the strength of Emperor Wu's whole body was once again drained completely.He fell down completely on the blue floor tiles with a bang, and Emperor Wu's eyes were full of fear, anger and unwillingness.

Step by step, he stepped forward and gently held Emperor Wu's struggling hands.Zhu Qiaoxin put in a little bit of force, questioning one sentence at a time: "What did I do wrong? Who is she hindering? Why can't we be together, why is it so hard to tolerate. I can bear you to send her to me. Others can endure you tattooing on her forehead, and I even watched you insult her in front of so many people. But now how can you, how can you get rid of my good Yue Qingfeng. No more, you How do you say it?"

Emperor Wu struggled with all his strength, shouting loudly.But what he thought was a loud voice was actually small enough.

Holding his right hand tightly, Zhu Qiaoxin became more and more forceful: "It's useless, Brother Huang. I told them to leave the inner hall ten feet away, but they couldn't hear them."

Emperor Wu struggled harder and harder, and suddenly let go of his hands.Zhu Qiaoxin looked at the blood on the hands of Emperor Wu and herself, who couldn't tell whether it was his or his blood, and suddenly burst out laughing again.

"Nie Yu? Nie Yu!" Emperor Wu suddenly twitched and yelled loudly.

Zhu Qiaoxin was stunned for a moment, watching a red figure suddenly running out from behind the screen at the other end of the hall.He rushed out like a sword, lifted her and rushed directly to his brother.

"How are you? What's the matter?"

Zhou Neyu hugged her husband on the ground full of doubts.

Seeing that she didn't seem to know her, Zhu Qiaoxin stopped suddenly.

"Please, sister, send her away!" Emperor Wu anxiously looked at Zhu Qiaoxin in Zhou Nieyu's arms.

Zhu Qiaoxin maintained the movement of being overthrown by Zhou Hou, and shifted her gaze to Zhou Neyu.

"Royal sister---"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhu Qiaoxin's eyes, and Emperor Wu quickly stretched out his hand and said loudly: "She doesn't know anything, she---she---she is a fool!"

"What's wrong with you, get up!"

Over there, Zhou Neyu had already put his hands under Emperor Wu's armpits, trying to pull him up with great effort.

"I--Okay!" Quickly stood up and pulled her aside, knowing that he was almost speechless at this moment.Zhu Qiaoxin walked towards the outside of the hall in a daze: "Come on! Come on! Come on!!"

The voices became louder and louder, and at the end he looked at his fingers, then looked back at the blue cauldron in the center of the hall and the sister-in-law who threw herself on his brother again.Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly yelled like crazy: "Come here! Ah, come here!"

The door of the palace was opened from the outside with a knock, and Zhu Qiaoxin followed the crowd in again in a daze.

"Come and tell the imperial physician, the imperial physician is quick!"

"Queen, please let go of the emperor, let go!"

Someone was yelling, Zhu Qiaoxin quickly looked inside.

Seeing that Zhou Neyu had already dragged Emperor Wu to the edge of the dragon bed, leaning on the dragon bed and watching so many people suddenly rushing into the hall, Zhou Hou shouted displeasedly: "Get out, get out! All go out!!"

"Sister-in-law Huang, come here!" Looking at her brother who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth in Zhou Hou's arms, Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly calmed down, so calm that even she herself felt creepy.

Ignoring anyone, she stretched out her wide brocade sleeves to hug her husband tightly.Zhou Neyu raised Emperor Wu's right hand at once, slowly lowered his head and laughed softly: "It turns out that it hurts here, and it won't hurt soon, just lick it and exhale and it will be fine."

Emperor Wu's eyes opened wider and wider, full of complexity, Zhu Qiaoxin hurried forward.

But when she stood one step away from Emperor Wu, she saw that Zhou Neyu had completely covered her lips on Emperor Wu's back.

Carefully licking off the blood stains bit by bit, Zhou Nieyu smiled like an elf: "Why doesn't it hurt? You used to do this to me. It was only after so many years that I remembered that you are Not very happy?"

A pair of eyes were full of understanding and tears, as he stroked Zhou Nieyu's cheek with his last strength, Emperor Wu smiled silently and suddenly there was a trace of relief in his eyes.

"The emperor has a decree to pass on the throne to Princess Wei Zhu Qiaoxin!" Zhou Nieyu raised his head suddenly and said this, Zhou Nieyu lowered his head and laughed when everyone was stunned. The voice murmured softly: "The greatest punishment is to live in despair. I sent someone to secretly push Yue Qingfeng down. I arranged for the imperial doctor to secretly give her the poison in her hands. Let her do a thorough Wouldn't it be better to be a lonely family full of sins that can never be redeemed?"

"Where is the imperial doctor? The queen is crazy! Pull this lunatic away from me! I want to get her---" Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly yelled.

Laughing and crying, tears welled up in his eyes, when Emperor Wu smiled as usual.Zhou Nieyu glared at the guard who came forward, slowly took Emperor Wu's hand and gently brought it to his lips and whispered to him: "Zhu Shoujiang is retribution. He was seeking revenge when you killed him. , let me know the truth, our ending was already doomed."

Emperor Wu didn't say a word, just looked at her motionless.A trace of blood leaked from the corner of his lips. Zhou Nieyu held his hand tightly and said with a sudden smile, "At first I thought he died in battle, so I agreed to marry you, and I made a promise to you that I would never give up. .I have kept my promise, your love, I have paid you back all the kindness you have had for the past few years. So, so don't pester me in the next life, okay!"

Feeling that everything was in chaos, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly pushed away the group of guards and walked out weakly.She was going to find Yue Qingfeng, she couldn't die.

"I hate you to death. In my next life, I don't want to be a fool or be haunted by you." Weeping silently, looking at the guy who stared at him even after he died.Zhou Neyu murmured softly, then rested his chin on his shoulder and slowly closed his eyes.
