There was nothing but blackness, nothing to hear, nothing to see, and no fear.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, my head hurt. After rubbing for a long time, I was sure that I was no longer in the study. My eyes touched the high platform opposite and the throne carved from a whole piece of jade on the high platform. Zhao Jin was dressed in bright yellow and half Leaning on the back of the chair with squinted eyes, gently caressing the fire phoenix with callused fingers, with a gentle and lazy demeanor.

I stood up with my swollen head, stared at the people on the high platform without blinking, and made many guesses for a while.Zhao Jin did not prescribe the drug to kill me, so what is she going to do?

"Did Xiaoya sleep well?" Her voice was as slow and elegant as ever, without being angry or pretentious.I didn't answer and turned to look around.After sleeping for more than half a day, it was already dark, and there was still no servant in Shenming Hall.In the spacious lobby, there are two palace lanterns beside the door, surrounded by bowl-sized luminous pearls, the light is soft, but it is a bit dazzling because of the magnificence of the hall.

I frowned and said coldly: "You said, let me know everything when I wake up."

Hearing this, she squinted her eyes and smiled at me, "Yes."

I didn't speak, just stared at her.

Suddenly, I don't know if it was my illusion, there seemed to be a lot of people's voices outside, it was very noisy, and the footsteps gradually became louder.

Zhao Jin smiled and raised his eyes to look at the door, and said softly, "Here we are."

coming?What's coming?I was just wondering who would dare to commit crimes in front of the Queen when I heard a sound of armor clashing. Before I could turn around, I saw a group of soldiers with different armors rushing into the hall, and after a while they were divided into two columns to stand guard on both sides. The weapons in their hands are also different, including daggers, short knives, and even bows and arrows.

I froze for a moment, turned around quickly, and immediately another group of people came in. They all held long swords. The two leaders stopped me without saying a word, pressed my hands behind their backs, and put their long swords against me. I couldn't move my neck for a moment.

I was shocked and angry, and I was so angry that I couldn't say a word.

Oh, Zhao Jin, you are waiting for me here

But the next moment I was dumbfounded.The soldiers with bows and arrows set up their arrows in unison, and pointed to Zhao Jin who seemed to be sitting on the high platform in unison and quickly.

"You...you..." I really didn't know what to say now, I stared at the calmly smiling woman on the high platform with my eyes full of doubts.

Zhao Jin didn't even look at me, her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the direction of the palace door, her voice was low and gentle, with three points of tenderness and seven points of domineering, not loud, but enough to convey the sound of the spacious hall. : "Thank you for your hard work, come in."

I didn't understand what she meant at all. Hearing what she said, I couldn't help turning my head to the direction of the door. Under my gaze, I slowly stepped into the hall with a touch of blue water.Long, light brown hair was tied neatly behind her head, with slight curls at the end.The eyebrows are very thin and soft, and the almond eyes are radiant with an exotic blue color.The skin is as white and smooth as porcelain, and the outline of the face is actually not deep. The cherry-colored lips are fleshy, making people want to take a bite.

It was a face that I could never forget, a face so familiar that I could guess what expression he would make the next moment.There have been many expressions on this face like a wild woman, bewildered, sad, indifferent, gentle, helpless, distressed, but not the present one. I don't know if it should be called a joke or a sarcasm.

In fact, this face still has a lot of variability. When he makes a certain expression, his personality will change accordingly.For example, if he has a cold face, then his whole person will make people feel cold, and one can even see the heroic spirit from his not so tough face.

This face can appear in Haoxi, Qi Langzhai, and Jinghua Palace, but it should not appear here at this time and under such circumstances.

"Naihe..." I didn't realize that my voice was trembling.

He ignored me, just walked straight to the front of the high platform, stared at Zhao Jin intently, his expression was put away and his smile was a little unfathomable.Zhao Jin looked at him with a slight smile, not a trace of panic.

"Are you ready?" Naihe said lightly, talking to Zhao Jin as if talking to a junior.

Zhao Jin didn't answer, but nodded slowly.

I was completely confused, and I was eager to ask for confirmation: "What preparation? But what are you talking about?"

He still ignored me, and the two soldiers who captured me saw me struggling and pressed me harder, and there was a stabbing pain in my neck, and I didn't dare to move anymore.

"The soldier's talisman and the national seal are in the study room. Except for the paintings on the desk, you can dispose of everything else." Zhao Jin still spoke in that neutral tone, as if he was chatting with others, but he couldn't conceal his accumulated superior temperament .

I was stunned, no matter how dull I was, I understood the current situation, how could I lead my troops to usurp the throne!Moreover, Zhao Jin seemed to have known it a long time ago, and specially prepared a soldier Fu Guoxi for him, and even knew that he was coming today to deliberately transfer all the guards of Shenming Hall.

Zhao Jin glanced at me in a daze, then turned back and continued: "Arnuo knows what I am going to do, and the other ministers should have been informed today, and I have already sent them back to their hometowns because I couldn't accept it. She is a stone-tempered person, so she can't avoid contradicting her. You just don't want to embarrass her deliberately. After all, you are a general. You know her talents well. She understands what to say and what not to say. If it's difficult to control, you Just hand her over to Arnold."

Nai He didn't speak, just nodded.

"It's impossible to replace the officials in the court all at once. You know the strategy of employing people, so I won't say much. Just keep in mind one thing. When the new emperor ascends, there will be chaos. Don't act willfully. You should accept it with humility." Advise to seek out close ministers and recruit some men appropriately. In the first three years, I will devote myself to housekeeping and ensuring the livelihood of the people. Rewards and punishments should be detailed, and military affairs should not be too fancy. After that, I will start to focus on the economy, and don't respect farming, merchants, etc It should be properly promoted and the sale of private salt is prohibited..."

I was so stiff that I couldn't find my voice, Zhao Jin was actually teaching Nai He how to govern the country.

The anxious voice that can never be heard still explained in the tone I am familiar with: "Don't demolish all the houses and halls. There are quite a few people engaged in this industry. If you want to, you can change the rules. Ben You know that there are many talented people in each Zhai. You gather those who understand music, calligraphy, painting, chess and martial arts in one place, and those who understand martial arts formations in one place. You can personally inscribe plaques and give characters. As a refined person, you can take the exam, which is especially outstanding. They can be promoted to officials. On weekdays, we only welcome talented people who are also elegant, and do not accompany them to sleep with wine, but to accompany them with tea, and accept elegant scholars from all over the world, regardless of gender."

Naihe nodded obediently, and listened to her in silence, without any hint of impatience.

"I don't have any descendants, so this is a gift to you. As for the people in the harem, don't embarrass them, they should all be dismissed. Well... that's all I have to say. The road to the emperor is very dangerous, you just Remember not to forget your true heart, believe in yourself, and your fate is up to me, so that it will last forever." Zhao Jin is quite earnest, and I believe that every word she said comes from the bottom of my heart, but when I listen to these words, I feel inexplicable panic.

She was confessing her last words, she had no plan to live from the beginning, so she didn't even have a child for five years in office.

Naihe nodded, turned around and looked at me, Zhao Jin's eyes also cast over at the same time.

"Yaya, what do you want to ask?" Naihe's tone is gentle, as if it is every ordinary afternoon, with a deliberately pretended expressionless face, the kind of leisurely but gentle tone .

I have completely calmed down, and looked at him with a pair of eyes without emotion. I didn't care about the sharp knife in my neck, and I didn't care about the sore arm being held down. I said coldly: "Tell me, who are you."

He smiled when he heard the words, and looked at me without the slightest evasion: "I am Xiao Naihe, the Qingshui beauty of Yuyuan Pavilion, the cousin of the Third Princess Haoxi, and the heir to the throne chosen by Zhao Jin. If you want to know more about it, He is also the son of Chandan, the eldest disciple of Fenggu, and a pawn abandoned by his mother."

I was stunned, and my heart was overwhelmed.So it turns out, so it turns out... That's why he was able to rescue Huangfuyuan, so he knew about the Luoyue Gang, so he didn't have any objections to Zhao Jin in Jinghua Palace, so Zhao Jin would choose him...

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly to force myself to calm down: "This army is..."

He shrugged indifferently, and turned his head to look at the one on the right who was pressing on me. The man immediately let go of my hand, and retracted the sword on his neck.

"There are two hundred and three soldiers in this army. They are capable men that Zhao Jin, Dongfang Xin and I have been looking for in the past three years. Each of them has the ability to fight ten against one. For the sake of experiment, there was a battle of Zhenli before. , The effect is very good, you should know this. I named them shadows, and every shadow is my weapon, they are enough to withstand an army of 5 people."

Fifty thousand... What a terrifying army...

"The last question, Zhao Jin has long thought about giving up his position, why didn't he just give up the throne? Why did he slaughter the people? Obviously there is a more peaceful way, isn't it?" Way, obviously can not shed so much blood.Can't understand, I can't understand.

Naihe looked at me amusedly, and said slightly mockingly: "You have always been a smart person, why are you so confused now? Women have been superior to men for nearly 1000 years. Do you think I can succeed to the throne safely? Do you think someone will Follow my orders?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized.

That's right, this is a woman. No matter who they are, they have already formed a mindset. Everyone is used to this kind of life. There are high and low, there are grades, there are advantages and disadvantages, and there are differences.

Even if some people desire equality, they are a minority after all. They are even called rebels by other people who are unwilling to change and settle for the status quo, and they are called going against the sky.

Only in turmoil can a new system and new rules be formed.

People in suffering only desire to be saved, and no one cares whether this person is an angel or a devil.

And when they greet their new god with gratitude, they only care if that person will secure them and make them rich.Nobody cares whether this person is an angel or a devil.

I am reminded of the sinners and heroes I heard a long time ago.

I remembered that Zhao Jin said in a very rare and serious tone: "When I play chess, I break first and then stand."

I didn't even dare to raise my head to respond to Zhao Jin's tender but wise eyes, and didn't dare to stain any corner of her body with my dirty eyes.

But I suddenly heard a flap of clothes flapping.The voice was so obvious that it sounded suddenly in the extraordinarily quiet lobby, waking me up.I raised my head almost suddenly, and the clean water blue leaped to the high platform very quickly. The beautiful face contained breathtaking tenderness, and the long sword shining with silver light in my hand was like a shooting star in the sky. Breathe through the air, pierce the brocade clothes, and sink into the flesh and blood.

"Follow my king's will." Nai He's voice was calm and serious.

I didn't have time to shout no, and I didn't have time to break free from the soldiers behind me. I saw blood oozing from the bright yellow left chest, and those phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling looked at me reluctantly. I didn't even have time to press my lips that always said joking words Lower arc.

The blood-stained sharp sword was already dim, and it was buried so deep that it could not even be pulled out.With stinging eyes wide open, I watched that water blue jump off the high platform, and that bright yellow also slipped off the throne because of lack of support.Huofeng was blood-stained, shocking.

I don't know how I got onto the high platform, I don't know that I kept pulling on the clothes like a lunatic trying to stop her bleeding.Those bright red liquids gushing out are not like springs, but like seas.It is her sea-like heart.

She has always been the best emperor, she has always been thinking about the common people, she has been wearing a mask of indifference, but she is kinder than anyone else.

"So much... blood, enough to pay... clear my sins... right." She was still laughing, her eyes were fixed on me, and I could see my reflection in her eyes.Like a puppet, with a mechanical expression.

"Xiao... Ya... really... cold-blooded... I'm going to die but... I can't see... your tears..."

I did not shed tears, I could not shed tears.

"Shut up, don't talk, I won't let you die. Let's go to Ling, go to Ling..." I tried to hug her hoarsely, but it was useless.Her eyes had lost their luster, and her voice was almost inaudible: "Look... I have fulfilled his... wish... Xiao... Ya... being with Zi Ling... a good... a good life..."

I lowered my eyes and responded, not daring to look at her face, not daring to use force.The voice was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another world.In the end, it faded away, and there was nothing left.

Zhao Jin is dead.

I let go of her hand, ignored the blood stains on my body, walked down the high platform slowly with my head held high, and lowered my voice, with a gentle and firm tone: "Zhao Jin, what is an emperor?

You are the true emperor. "

Without sadness, without any superfluous feelings, I walked out of the hall following the blue water.

The imperial palace at night is still full of dazzling lights. A group of ministers from Jinghe stood outside Shenming Hall. I watched Naihe step forward and raised his head confidently. His beautiful face was full of vigor, and his voice was very imposing. The earth spread back and forth, shaking the heaven and the earth: "The cruel king has been eliminated!"

It was said that all the ministers knelt down and bowed neatly to the ground: "The cruel king has been eliminated, and the world is peaceful! Welcome the new king, my king Wanfu!"

"From now on, the name of the country will be changed to Qing, and all the ministers will live in peace."

I walked past him expressionlessly, looking for the red figure in the whole colored light.

Want to see him, want to see him, want to see him, want to see him...

It doesn't matter if the country name is changed, it doesn't matter if the world changes hands, he will wait for me.

He said... he would wait for me...

"ink."

The voice behind her was as gentle and elegant as ever, full of pampering and tenderness.I didn't cry, not when I was hurt, not when I was misunderstood, nor when I saw Zhao Jin close his eyes in front of me.

I won't admit it, I burst into tears when I heard the call.

I turned my head back almost as fast as I could in my life, rushed to the bright red figure, hugged him tightly in his astonishment, and pressed my face to his chest, my hoarse voice seemed to say the most beautiful The oath: "Ling, I'm hungry..."

"Okay, let's go home..."
