I was a princess in ancient times

When he heard the sound of the death knell, King Jia was trapped in Defei's Palace.

He got up and walked to the window, almost smashing the window frame with so much strength.

The light golden sun slanted towards Jia Wang along the broken window, making Jia Wang feel the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.He raised his head, fixedly looking at the sun that had shown its full face, and tears gradually flowed from his eyes.

In the depths of the palace alley, we cried, 'The hills are collapsing, and the saints are on the way! When the voice came, King Jia's eyes were already bloodshot. He looked back at Concubine Oude and Su Xian who were rubbing their eye sockets with their hands, and suddenly rushed towards the closed door, kicking the barrier away, He rushed to the gate of the palace like crazy.

"Song Nian, wait." Concubine De called Song Nian who was about to chase after King Jia, and stretched out the hand where the aunt picked the gap between the nails when she was cleaning her nails yesterday, "Break this nail for me."

"Sister!" Su Xian wanted to stop Concubine De, with ten fingers connected to her heart, why should she suffer this crime?

But she understood that Concubine De's decision was the most appropriate way, so she just turned around and couldn't bear to look any further, she didn't really stop it.

Song Nian strode up behind Concubine De, and said softly, "It will hurt a lot, empress, bear with it."

Standing behind Concubine De, he grasped Concubine De's bluffed hand and put it into a clenched fist in a specific posture, stretching out his hand to cover the fist with force without warning.

Following the crisp breaking sound, Concubine De's complexion suddenly turned pale but she never made any sound. On the contrary, Su Xian suddenly changed from choking to crying loudly.

When Song Nian rushed to the gate of the palace, he almost failed to get to King Jia's side in the first time, he was blocked by the palace people in Defei's palace.

These palace people didn't mean to stop Song Nian, they were facing Song Nian with their backs, stretching their necks to peek at King Jia and Jin Wuwei at the gate, and they didn't even notice that the person pushing forward from behind was Song Nian.

The ups and downs are no longer enough to describe the mood of the palace people from yesterday to now.

They were worried about the masters who were summoned by Emperor Yanguang, fearing that the master would anger Emperor Yanguang and be punished, and it would be bad luck for them.

After the imperial decree of Emperor Yanguang successively granting King Jia a food town spread, all the worries of the palace people turned into secret joy. Getting a food town is a happy event, and Concubine De, Su Xian, and King Jia are very generous people, so rewards must be indispensable .

Most other people have only one reward for happy events in the palace, and they can get three rewards!

After receiving the reward, the palace people were still immersed in the aftertaste of joy. Suddenly, the Jinwu guard broke into the door, forcibly took away the county masters, and surrounded the palace of the imperial concubine to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.The joy of the palace people dissipated immediately, and they stayed up until dawn in fear.

Seeing that King Jia kicked the door to leave the Nuan Pavilion and rushed to the gate of the palace, the palace people hiding in every corner of the palace followed quietly.They didn't dare to get too close, so they could only wait and see from a distance, which happened to block the road tightly.

"Get out of the way!" Song Nian scolded in a low voice, lifted the collars of the two palace maids in front of him, and threw them behind him.

The palace people, who were all focused on the gate of the palace, finally noticed the commotion behind them. Seeing the black-faced Songnian, the palace people scattered one after another. They would rather endure the chest tightness and shortness of breath and stick close to each other than stand in Songnian's way. .

Song Nian's inner prisoner...he, like General Mo, came out of the dark guard camp!

On weekdays, apart from the masters and sons, Song Nian is the person the palace people in Defei Palace dare not provoke the most.

The more famous General Mo was, the more they feared Song Nian.

When Songnian rushed to Jiawang's side, Jiawang was already in a panic.

The Jinwu guards guarding outside Defei Palace were also shocked by the death knell and the news of Emperor Yanguang's death, but they had long been used to carrying out orders unconditionally.

The order they received was 'no one is allowed to enter and leave the palace of the concubine without the general's warrant. '

Even though Emperor Yanguang had passed away, they still refused to let King Jia leave.

King Jia rushed out like crazy, and the Jinwu Guards formed a human wall to block King Jia.

After a few rounds of forcible entry, King Jia's hair crown was long gone, his hair was messed up, and his robe was scratched and covered with cracks and dust.

King Jia once again tried his best to break through the Jinwu Guard's wall but fell to the ground exhausted. He got up from the ground panting heavily, "Why don't you let me see Aye?!"

Unbearable flashes of Jin Wuwei's eyes made them choose to look up at the sky instead of King Jia.

Song Nian squatted beside King Jia, grabbing the person who wanted to get up and continue to rush, "The king has passed out, call the imperial doctor!"

Jiawang's body froze for a moment, then he immediately relaxed his muscles and collapsed on Songnian's shoulders, and said in an angry voice, "I want to see Aye, let me see Aye!"

The Jinwu Guard had a stern face, and said unkindly to Songnian, "The sage does not allow anyone to come in and out, you find someone to move the king to the room to rest, and I will report the situation of the king."

King Jia held his breath silently, until the pain in his chest was unbearable, and then he spoke intermittently under the sharp pain in his chest and throat, "I, I don't, go, don't go! I want to see Aye!"

The palace people quietly watching from a distance saw that King Jia had completely collapsed, panic appeared on their faces.

Hearing Songnian yelling for an imperial physician, someone immediately ran back to the Nuan Pavilion to report to Concubine De and Su Xian.

After a long time without seeing the members of the Jinwu Guard move, the palace people finally endured their fear and ran towards King Jia.

If something happened to King Jia, the ladies would definitely not let them go.

However, Song Nian felt that these palace people were in the way, so he turned around the palace people's instructions with a few words, so that they had no time to surround the palace gate and make trouble.

Taking advantage of Jin Wuwei not paying attention, he quietly pressed the handkerchief on the ground, and then wiped King Jia's sweat.

Concubine De and Su Xian came extremely well, they were still wearing the clothes they had when they were summoned by Emperor Yanguang yesterday, Concubine De's fingernails were still bleeding, their buns were not neat, and the hairpins were barely falling off. on the head.

Facing Jin Wuwei's resolute attitude of not allowing them to leave the palace, the performance of the two concubines was far less violent than that of King Jia, but they stubbornly refused to leave, standing where they were and weeping silently.

Five rounds of the death knell struck, and the sun was past noon, before Mo Yao's personal guards came with Mo Yao's badge.

The voice of the guard came from outside the Jinwu Guard's human wall, "Here comes the general's order to take Concubine De, Concubine Su and King Jia to weep for the saint."

King Jia, who was dying and collapsing on Songnian's shoulder, raised his eyelids and exchanged glances with Concubine De, and rushed out as soon as the Jinwu Guard's wall broke up, with a crying cry resounding throughout the world, "Aye! "

Song Nian rubbed his wrist, which was suffering from dull pain from pushing King Jia too hard, and purposely waited until the stunned Jinwu Guard reacted and went after King Jia to sneak into the Jinwu Guard.

After confirming that Emperor Yanguang had passed away, Bai Qianli repeated the old story, and asked Mo Yao to call the Queen and King Li to wear mourning for Emperor Yanguang, and also let all the officials come to cry for Emperor Yanguang.

After being silent for a while, Mo Yao rejected Bai Qianli's proposal again.

In his eyes, the most important thing should be to find out who poisoned Emperor Yanguang.

Immediately letting all the officials enter the inner palace will most likely lead to the destruction of evidence.

The two started a dispute again, and it ended with Mo Yao unilaterally ignoring Bai Qianli.

After the imperial physician verified that there was no poison in the place where Emperor Yanguang set foot, Mo Yao reluctantly agreed to let outsiders enter the inner palace, but he still disagreed with what Bai Qianli said to let the Queen and King Li come first, but treated them equally. At the same time, let the Queen and King Li, the Su sisters and King Jia, Concubine Cui and King Xiang, the clan, nobles, and officials come to the inner palace to cry for Emperor Yanguang.

In less than six hours, Bai Qianli had clearly realized the difference between her and Mo Yao.

In the court, she is the prime minister.

Where there are Jinwu Guards, Mo Yao is the Great General Mo.

As long as Mo Yao agrees to King Li and the courtiers coming to the inner palace, the rest of the matter can be temporarily put on hold. She is really fed up with the feeling of being infinitely suppressed by Mo Yao.

So Bai Qianli did not continue to have meaningless disputes with Mo Yao, but waited for the coming person at the gate of the inner palace.

Not long after Bai Qianli appeared at the gate of the inner palace, Mo Yao suddenly appeared in plain white robes. He walked up to Bai Qianli with a sullen face, lifted Bai Qianli's collar with one hand, and said through gritted teeth, "The little eunuch serving you is the Queen's people!"

No poison was found, so Jin Wuwei could only start with people, and found this little nail in the first round.

Bai Qianli stood on tiptoe with difficulty, holding Mo Yao's hand that was holding her collar tightly with both hands, "I don't know! Shouldn't this be Mrs. Liang's supervision? You go ask him, why are you crazy about me! "

"You really don't know?" Mo Yao stared at Bai Qianli with extremely cold eyes, as if he had already regarded Bai Qianli as a dead person.

"Of course I don't know, my loyalty to the saint doesn't need to be lessened by you!" Bai Qianli could only see Mo Yao's face clearly with his head up, and his aura was no less than Mo Yao's, "The saint himself said that there is no difference between us , but you couldn't wait to attack me after the saint passed away?"

Mo Yao's gaze gradually changed, he let go of Bai Qianli's collar, and smoothed Bai Qianli's collar indifferently, "It's best that you didn't betray the saint."

Saints will not be happy.

Bai Qianli snorted coldly, turned around and ignored Mo Yao.

She will not betray the saint, but the saint has passed away, and she always has to think about herself.

If... A sharp cold light flashed in Bai Qianli's eyes.

If it is really the Queen and King Li who killed the saint, she must kill them to avenge the saint!

The sudden noisy sound from a distance caused the two to turn their heads. The person who first appeared in their sight was a lunatic with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. This person cried "Aye" and ran towards the inner palace quickly. Chasing several Jinwu Guards.

Bai Qianli subconsciously took half a step back and hid behind Mo Yao.

Who is this, is it an assassin?

King Jia's eyes flickered, ignoring that the long knife on Mo Yao's waist was out of its sheath, he slammed straight at Mo Yao.

"This is King Jia! General, don't draw your sword!" Song Nian stopped on the spot, shouting angrily.

The rest of the Jinwu guards stopped in place or fell to the ground in fright when they heard Songnian's words.

"King Jia! King Jia!"

"Don't do it, General!"

"That's the king!"

……

King Jia bumped his head against Mo Yao's chest, took two steps back and fell to the ground, looked up at Mo Yao and Bai Qianli with cautious expectation, "I'm here to see Aye, how is Aye?"

Mo Yao said in a deep voice, "My lord, the saint has passed away."

"You lied to me!" King Jia slapped his hands on the ground vigorously, "Aye was so energetic yesterday, how could it be possible..."

Before the words finished, King Jia buried his head in his lap and wept loudly.

Mo Yao touched the corners of his eyes, staring at the water stains on his hands and fell into a daze.

It turns out that the beloved son of the saint would be so sad for the death of the saint?

He walked up to King Jia, and wanted to help King Jia up, but the sad King Jia hugged his legs.Mo Yao stared at the back of Jia Wang's pitch-black head with increasingly blurred eyes, and did not make any other movements for a long time.

Someone seems to be saying in my ear, 'Please mourn the king and the general. '

Does he also feel sad?

King Jia had already made a fuss at Concubine De's residence, and now he is making a fuss at the gate of the inner palace, his physical strength can keep up, but his voice is not so good.

Realizing that it was becoming more and more difficult to speak, Jia Wang gradually changed his wailing to soft whimpering.

In fact, he wanted to cuddle with Mo Yao more and cry, but Mo Yao didn't bend over and didn't give him a chance.

Not long after, Concubine De and Concubine Su also trotted over, kneeling in front of the inner palace gate, weeping uncontrollably.

When the clan, nobles and courtiers were brought to the gate of the inner palace by the Jinwu Guards, they could see Wang Jia who was in a state of embarrassment at first sight, holding Mo Yao's thigh and crying, and Mo Yao who was expressionless but had tears in his eyes .

Then Concubine De and Concubine Su were kneeling on the other side and weeping.

Tears also flowed from the corners of King Qinghe's eyes. With the support of Prince Qinghe's son, he staggered up to Mo Yao, and touched King Jia's head first, "Good boy, don't cry, lest you, Aye, leave badly." Rest assured."

Hearing King Qinghe's comfort, King Jia not only didn't stop crying, but became more emotional. He let go of Mo Yao's leg, looked up at King Qinghe, "Uncle, I don't have Aye anymore."

Before he could finish his sentence, tears welled up in his almost dry eye sockets again.

Prince Qinghe sighed deeply, instead of comforting King Jia, he looked at Mo Yao, "General, let's go in and see the saint? What's done can't be changed. The most urgent thing is to take care of the saint's affairs so that he can live a happy life." leave."

The crown prince of Qinghe County justly handed Mo Yao a clean handkerchief.

Mo Yao wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he first bent down to support the limp King Jia, so that King Jia could lean on him, turned around and strode towards the gate of the inner palace.

Infected by the sad atmosphere in front of the inner palace gate, Bai Qianli also shed tears unknowingly.

Seeing that Mo Yao was about to walk to the door, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and said loudly, "King Li and King Xiang haven't arrived yet!"

Mo Yao didn't say anything yet, the Prince of Qinghe who was standing side by side with Mo Yao already showed anger on his face, "Why haven't they arrived yet?"

The county magistrate of Cheng'an, who was mixed in with the clan crowd, rolled his eyes and deliberately found fault, "Could it be that the Jinwu Guard was biased and only informed King Jia?"

General Zuo of the Jinwu Guard fixed his gaze precisely on County Lord Cheng'an, "We are notifying all the kings at the same time, please be careful with County Lord Cheng'an!"

The county magistrate of Cheng'an looked surprised, looked to the left and right in disbelief, was pushed by the person beside him, and then blushed at Mo Yao Fuli, "It's my fault, please forgive me, General."

She deliberately said these words because it was false that King Li and King Xiang were unfair, and the purpose was to leave the impression that King Li and King Xiang disrespected the Emperor Daxing in the hearts of nobles and courtiers.

As long as people are willing to work hard, it will be difficult for King Li and King Xiang to get rid of this crime.

King Qinghe sighed, lowered his eyes and said, "Cheng An is straightforward, the general should not blame you. Let's wait for King Li and King Xiang."

Mo Yao shook his head indifferently, "No problem."

Xungui, who was always silent, exchanged glances with the courtiers silently.

Could it be that the clan intends to support King Jia?

Otherwise, Qinghe County King Zhineng must have a way to help King Li and King Xiang find a suitable excuse.

Even if King Qinghe didn't make excuses for King Li and King Xiang, as long as he didn't say a word to expose this matter and give other people room to continue discussing this matter, the people who supported King Li and King Xiang would not let the people who supported King Li and King Xiang be as they are now. The mute felt as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

After a long while, some courtiers couldn't bear to support the prince who was splashed with dirty water, and deliberately brought up the topic just now, "Maybe King Li and King Xiang were delayed because of an accident. Why don't you send someone to remind you, General?"

"Do you still want to urge the mourning spirit for the sage?" Prince Qinghe's son glared sharply at the courtier who spoke.

The courtier who was a young bird was afraid that he might not say a word well, not only did not change the impression of the words of the county magistrate Cheng'an on everyone, but also made the word 'unfilial' looming on King Li's forehead more profound, and immediately bowed his head deeply.

Seeing that no one spoke again, Prince Qinghe looked at the people in the clan, "Come and support Linyuan, don't tire the general."

At the same time, four or five people stepped forward. After these people looked at each other, only two walked towards King Jia.

None of them decided to support King Jia long ago, but guessed the meaning of Prince Qinghe from the reactions of County Lord Cheng'an and Prince Qinghe.

The county magistrate of Cheng'an pressed her beating heart, and walked towards Concubine De and Concubine Su who were still kneeling in front of the inner palace.

She married Pingnanhou's eldest son for Pingnanhou's title, but after marriage, her father-in-law and step-mother asked Pingnanhou's younger son to marry Cui's concubine's sister, and wanted to pass the title to the youngest son.

If it hadn't been for the prince of Qinghe County to stop him, the title of Marquis of Pingnan would have fallen to the youngest son.

The Lord of Cheng'an County spoke up just now, mainly to find fault with King Xiang, but only incidentally to King Li, and did not mean to hope that someone could inherit the throne.

But she unconditionally followed Qinghe County Prince's Mansion.

As long as Uncle Wang and Brother Wang make up their minds, she will have nothing to say!

After the Lord Cheng'an went to Concubine De and Concubine Su, several family members went to comfort Concubine De and Concubine Su.

All of a sudden, the attitude of the clan has been clearly presented to Xungui and the court.

Contempt flashed in the eyes of the grand master who was at the head of the courtiers.

The so-called clan is just lingering on the glory of the ancestors. In his eyes, it is not as good as the Cui family who once again raised the banner of the aristocratic family under the light of the good concubine.

Even if it is Qinghe County King himself, besides the clan mansion that can only manage the clan, what else is there?

Concubine Cui and King Xiang were the first to arrive at the gate of the inner palace. Compared with Concubine De, Concubine Su, who had messy buns, and King Jia, who had just re-tied her hair under Song Nian's service but was still wearing tattered robes, Concubine Cui and Concubine Xiang King Xiang is much more respectable.

Concubine Cui was wearing a large white linen robe, with only a white jade hairpin on her neat hair bun, and tears were streaming down her cheeks, she looked very decent as a widow.

King Xiang wore white clothes similar to Concubine Cui's, and wore a white jade hairpin similar to Concubine Cui's head. His face was as sad as Concubine Cui's, and even his eye sockets were as red and swollen as Concubine Cui's.

So many of them are about the same age as King Xiang and Concubine Cui... It's not like a mother and son coming to the funeral, but like King Xiang and his concubine coming to the funeral.

Patriarch Cui, who had already been granted the title of Taibao in the light of the concubine Liang, felt the increasingly strange gazes from the people around him, and turned his head with a livid face.

idiot!

It wasn't until he saw the Queen and King Li that Cui Taibao's face softened. For the first time, he felt that it was good for the Jinwu Guard to control the entire palace.

He couldn't report to Concubine Cui and King Xiang, and Taishi Jiang couldn't report to the queen and King Li.

The queen was also dressed in white, with intricate cloud patterns on the cuffs and collar, and a full set of white jade headgear on her head, making her look extraordinarily majestic.

According to her identity, there is no problem with her dressing up like this, but compared to the embarrassed Su sisters and the plain Cui Concubine, it is a little... subtle.

Seeing Jiang Taishi's face, the queen knew that she had done something wrong.

She walked up the steps with a normal expression, nodded to Mo Yao and Prince Qinghe, then turned to face the clan, nobles and courtiers.Before she could speak, tears fell first, "I fainted after hearing the bad news, please wait for a long time."

All the people said in unison, "Please empress, empress, mourn this day."

"How is it possible..." The queen raised her head to stop her tears and emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Please guide the general and Zhong Shuling for us, don't let the saint wait in a hurry."

Emperor Yanguang was still lying on the dragon bed in the sleeping hall.

Except for Mo Yao and Bai Qianli, only the three princes and the concubines who came, ten clansmen, nobles and courtiers were allowed to enter.

The queen at the head was caught off guard by seeing Emperor Yanguang's bruised and swollen face, and subconsciously covered her mouth, "The saint is actually..."

Concubine De stretched out her hand impatiently and pushed the Queen into the room, dragged Su Xian and flew towards the bed, pretending to be very surprised, and repeatedly asked Mo Yao and Bai Qianli if Emperor Yanguang was poisoned and died, and who killed him Emperor Yanguang.

Thanks to them, those who haven't entered the door know that Emperor Yanguang died of poisoning.

The Queen and Concubine Cui were not stupid either, they just stood there for a few breaths, and immediately condemned Mo Yao and Bai Qianli together with Concubine De and Su Xian, forcing them to hand over the person who poisoned Emperor Yanguang.

In contrast, the reactions of King Li and King Xiang were not so good.

King Jia, who had already cried for two rounds, grabbed Emperor Yanguang's swollen hand and wailed loudly, but King Li and King Xiang knelt a few steps away from Emperor Yanguang, refusing to come closer no matter what they said, with disgust and fear in their eyes. It is said that it was hidden from the old foxes in the court, even Mo Yao couldn't hide it.

Grand Master Jiang wished he could kick King Li's ass.

What's the use of pouting here?Go to the saint!

He looked at King Qinghe with a sad face, and said with a sob, "Why don't you let the princes dress the saint first? No matter what, you have to go into the coffin first to be decent."

King Qinghe nodded, "It's not easy for elders to do this kind of thing. I remember that the sage cared a lot about the students of Taixue these days? Bring all the people from the school that the sage cares about the most, and let the juniors in my house, Xinyang County Prince's Mansion The younger generation and Yu Heng from Princess Anguo's Mansion came to help, and I personally put the soul-suppressing jade on the saint."

"Aye?" The prince of Qinghe County was shocked. Putting the soul-suppressing jade into his mouth is usually done by the juniors with strong firepower. The Qinghe County King is already old, and it is really unlucky to be bumped into again.

King Qinghe shook his head, "That's it, you go and ask the general where the people from Taixue are being held."

Surprise flashed in Taishi's eyes, he had thought that King Qinghe was already on King Jia's side, and would praise King Jia whenever he could.However, King Qinghe's arrangements for Emperor Yanguang's coffin were extremely fair, and the three princes did not divide their priorities.

Could it be that the Empress and King Li offended Qinghe County King somewhere and made Qinghe County King dissatisfied, so Qinghe County King turned to King Jia outside the inner palace, or Qinghe County King really cared about filial piety?

Thinking of this, the smile on Grand Master's face gradually became eager.

Having the support of the elder patriarch of the clan can save the queen and King Li a lot of trouble.

When Jin Wuwei finally remembered the Taixue people, Ji Xinxue was dozing off on Yu Heng's body.

After his life was safe, the exhaustion of his body became unbearable, and he was not only sleepy, but also sleepy and hungry, and he couldn't find anything to cushion his stomach.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Ji Xinxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes were still sleepy, but deep in her pupils she was unusually awake.

Jin Wuwei knelt down on one knee after entering the door, and said sternly, "The sage passed away and has not yet been put into the coffin. Prince Qinghe please go and groom the sage."

Someone suddenly asked in the corner, "Does the saint have a will to leave behind?"

Ji Xinxue silently clenched Yu Heng's hand, turned her gaze away from the Jinwu Guard, and stared at the golden ground instead.

Jin Wuwei looked in the direction of the voice, "I don't know."

Everyone followed the Jinwu Guard for a long time, and finally arrived at Emperor Yanguang's bedroom before exhaustion. Ji Xinxue subconsciously touched the top of his head, only to realize that he was caught off guard by the Jinwu Guard, and he didn't deliberately touch the top of his head. Wear silk flowers on it.

The process of changing clothes for Emperor Yanguang was silent and grotesque. Ji Xinxue and the others only had to follow the etiquette officer's reminder and hand over various accessories to King Li, King Jia and King Xiang in a solemn manner.

Seeing Emperor Yanguang lying on the bed with his face covered, who could only let others do what he could, Ji Xinxue finally felt joy from the bottom of his heart after the ecstasy when he heard that Emperor Yanguang passed away suddenly dissipated.

In order to avoid laughing accidentally, Ji Xinxue could only cry.

As long as he was crying hard enough, no one would suspect that he was laughing.

I don't know if the Taixue students who were also worried and frightened throughout the night had the same thoughts as Ji Xinxue, another round of crying sounded in the dormitory.

After Emperor Yanguang entered the pavilion, the crowd suddenly started a fierce quarrel.

Jiang Taishi advocated sending Emperor Yanguang back to the capital first, and then handling the funeral affairs for Emperor Yanguang after the government was stabilized.

Cui Taibao felt that there was no need to bother Emperor Yanguang anymore, and it was just right to hold the funeral in the palace.

The quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense, and officials who were originally not qualified to enter the bedroom also sneaked in to express their opinions.

The poor Taixue student was standing alone in one place, and the position was getting tighter and tighter as more and more people squeezed into the hall. In the end, he had to find another place to stay temporarily.

Taking advantage of her small stature, Ji Xinxue grabbed Yu Heng's wrist and found a secret position where she could see the faces of the main characters.

If the courtiers present were divided into [-]%, [-]% of the courtiers would stand with Jiang Taishi, [-]% of the courtiers would stand with Cui Taibao, and [-]% of the courtiers would close their eyes and pretend to be deaf-mute.

Regret flashed in Ji Xinxue's eyes. It seems that [-]% of the next emperor will be King Li, and [-]% will be King Xiang. It is very difficult to have anything to do with King Jia.

When the emotions between the two sides became more and more intense, someone suddenly shouted, "Did the sage leave a will? Why don't you let the new king make the decision!"

The noisy bedroom suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Mo Yao and Bai Qianli who were standing in the center.

Mo Yao was completely unaffected by the atmosphere in the hall, and said coldly, "The saint left in a hurry and did not leave a will."

"But the sage once said that King Li is the empress's son, worthy of great responsibility." Bai Qianli looked up at King Li.

King Li stared blankly at Bai Qianli.

Aye actually really wanted him to inherit the throne! ?

The Queen had told him so many times that he would inherit the throne, King Li couldn't believe it.

Shocked by the news of Emperor Yanguang's death, the empress, who has always been indifferent to emotions, couldn't keep her mouth shut for joy, and already regarded the throne as her own, King Li still couldn't believe it.

At this moment, hearing Bai Qianli say this in public, King Li finally had a sense of reality about this matter.

Emperor Yanguang is dead, dead!

He is the new emperor!

Hahaha!

The queen was dumbfounded by King Li's face full of surprise.

Even if she is unwilling to admit that this is the son she has trained for many years, the queen can't ignore King Li at this juncture.

She lightly pushed Xia Li Wang's shoulder, "Lin'er?"

Say whatever you want, don't smirk.

"Bai Xiang!" King Xiang looked at Bai Qianli with a sneer on his face, "How do you prove that what you said was what Aye said?"

Bai Qianli withdrew his gaze from King Li, and turned to look at King Xiang, not like looking at a real person, but like an ornament that he didn't like.

There is a chilling malice in the coldness.

King Xiang flinched from being stared at by Bai Qianli, but he stiffened his neck and refused to back down, and his voice was louder than before, "Aye told you that King Li can be of great use, and also told my mother that I am his Favorite kid!"

In Bai Qianli's eyes, King Xiang is not worthy of her explanation.

But with Grand Master Cui here, King Li really needs more support. She turned to look at Mo Yao, "Mo Yao, who do you think the saint's preferred successor is."

Mo Yao turned his head to look at the three princes standing together. King Li and King Xiang were glaring at each other, wishing they could eat each other alive. King Jia, who had never said a word, lowered his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's Li..."

Before Mo Yao finished speaking, King Jia, who had completely lost his sense of existence since the courtiers started arguing, suddenly lifted the vase on the Eight Treasures Stand and slammed it on the ground. He stared at each surprised stare in turn with scarlet eyes. looking at him.

"You guys!" King Jia's chest heaved violently, "Aye's body is not cold and he was poisoned to death, yet you don't even care about who poisoned Aye's murderer, you only think about the throne?"

"What Your Majesty said is true." Cui Taibao cupped his hands towards King Jia, and turned to look at Grand Master Jiang, "Why don't we discuss the new emperor after the saint is buried?"

Grand Master Jiang pushed Cui Taibao away with a sullen face, "Nonsense! A country cannot live without a king. King Jia doesn't need to worry. After King Li inherits the throne, he will definitely put the investigation of 'who poisoned the saint' at the top of the list."

It was rare for King Li to be smart, he knew what to say without anyone reminding him, he raised his right hand towards the courtiers, "I say... ah!"

King Jia kicked King Li flying away, and with his backhand he drew the long knife from Mo Yao's waist and put it on King Li's neck.

"King Jia?!"

"what!"

"Put down the knife!"

……

The courtiers were so frightened by King Jia's sudden action that they covered their chests. Everyone who supported King Xiang had red eyes, wishing that King Jia would immediately go in and out with a white knife.

Ji Xinxue gasped, dragged Yu Heng in front of him, and looked anxiously at Ji Jingyu who was eating melons with Ji Cheng in the front row.

Hide away, fool!

Didn't you see that Concubine De and Concubine Su are hiding behind?

King Jia pressed his knees on King Li's chest, knelt beside King Li, his sharp phoenix eyes contained countless hazes, "You swear that you will avenge Aye in the future!"

King Li grew up so big, it was the first time he felt that he was only one step away from death, his chest hurt so much, his neck hurt so much,

Is he still alive?

Hearing King Jia's request, King Li hurriedly nodded, "I swear, I swear!"

Every word of King Jia's words was heard clearly in the ears of everyone in the hall, "You swear that you will smash the corpse of the person who poisoned Aye into hundreds of pieces."

King Li was shrouded in the shadow of King Jia.

It's a pity that he has never even killed a chicken, so he doesn't know what murderous intent is. He only knows that he doesn't even dare to breathe too much, for fear that his neck will hit the sharp knife in the neck.

Don't say it's an oath at this time, even if King Jia asked him to give up the throne, he would consider it.

"You swear, no! I swear! I swear that I will tear the person who poisoned Aye into pieces!" King Li immediately followed King Jia's request, looking at King Jia with pleading eyes.

"What should you do if you are the one who poisoned Aye?" King Jia stared at King Li gloomily, and added a new request, "Swear again, if you poison Aye, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows!"

King Li immediately repeated, "I swear, if I poison Aye, I will be pierced by ten thousand arrows. Jiadi, please let me go, I can hardly breathe."

King Jia's hand on King Li's shoulder gradually moved to King Li's back, and his tone became even crazier, "And the queen! If the person who poisoned Aye is related to the queen, will you turn a blind eye to the truth because you are filial to the queen? !"

Hesitation appeared on King Li's face.

he does not know……

If, if it was A Niang, how could he punish A Niang for Aye?

King Li felt that the pressure on his neck became lighter, and luck gradually defeated his fear. He closed his eyes in pain and shook his head, muttering, "Jiadi, please let me go, can I change the land for you? Jiangnan may not Yes? Twenty thousand... no, thirty thousand households!"

"I swear!" King Jia snapped violently.

Feeling the sudden stabbing pain from his neck, King Li immediately forgot all about the queen and A Niang, and immediately said, "I swear, if the person who poisoned Aye is related to A Niang, I will never turn a blind eye I, I will tear the queen into pieces!"

During the process of speaking, King Li suddenly felt his spine go numb, half of his body lost consciousness, but he didn't care about this trivial matter, and he didn't notice his eager slip of the tongue.

Now he only sees King Jia and the knife in King Jia's hand.

King Jia maintained the posture of holding King Li hostage for a long time, and then he released King Li as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He turned around with the knife in his hand, staring straight at King Xiang, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Brother Xiang?"

King Xiang backed up again and again, bumping into several people and managed to stabilize himself. It was useless for King Jia to speak again, and immediately cried and swore, "I promise that I will do my best to track down the person who poisoned Aye, and the culprit will be cut into pieces. No one will tolerate it, including myself!"

King Jia let go, the long knife fell to the ground weakly, and hit the yellow and white object beside King Li, making a dull sound.

He turned his head to look at Mo Yao, the madness in his eyes turned into emptiness, "Go on, I'll keep Aye's vigil. If no one is with him, he will lose his temper."

After all, King Jia didn't care about Mo Yao's reaction at all, turned around and walked towards the outside of the bedroom.

The courtiers who had just witnessed King Jia's madness backed away in a hurry, and automatically made way for King Jia.

Mo Yao stared fixedly at King Jia's back, and when King Jia stepped out of the hall with one foot, he suddenly said, "The candidate for the new monarch that the sage prefers is King Jia."
