The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 318 Pain

Emperor Liang De's voice sounded seamlessly: "Where did he die?"

"Go to the East Gate."

"...I know."

For a moment, both inside and outside the gate fell into a dead silence.

Even the elite guards guarding the gate couldn't help but lower their heads, as if they were also sad for Duke Zhao.

"Don't come in? I'm afraid you can't stand outside." Emperor Liang De said lightly.

Xue Qingyin said in a cold tone: "I'll take the sedan chair, it's fine, your majesty, don't worry."

Emperor Liang De snorted and laughed: "After leaving here, I will speak more confidently. I will also change from 'father' to 'your majesty'."

Emperor Liang De did not get angry. He changed his tone and said: "The first time I went to the battlefield, I was under the command of Duke Zhao. At that time, he was just a lieutenant, and he was ostracized because of his discord with his family. He seemed to see that my situation was similar to his, so he took care of me everywhere. Later, I won several great victories, and the late emperor had to grant me more. It was at this time that Duke Zhao became the general manager of the march, and from then on he was almost my right-hand man. He is seventeen years older than me. I knew that he would go ahead of me one day, but I didn't expect it to be today."

"I know why he sent Zhao Xufeng to Yizhou, I was still thinking at that time... Even if he wanted to leave a way out for Zhao Xufeng, he should have found a more suitable person. King Xuan is not my biological son. If we meet in battle in the future, I know he will not betray me, and it is inevitable that he will have to fight against King Xuan's swords. How should he deal with it then? "

Xue Qingyin interrupted: "Duke Zhao died under the arrows of the East Palace Army."

"East Palace Army? Bribed by Xue Ning? ... I remember that the East Palace Army was not a powerful character."

"There are some people from the underworld among them."

"So that's it... You are right, Xue Ning is indeed capable. If I don't pay attention and let him go, I am afraid he will really grow into a terrible towering tree." Emperor Liang De's tone was natural and peaceful, as if he was discussing the plot in the "book" with Xue Qingyin.

"Duke Zhao died, your majesty, don't you feel sad at all?" Xue Qingyin said in a slightly cold tone.

"He died at the hands of the East Palace Army, not the hands of King Xuan. He should be very happy. His son has someone to take care of for the rest of his life. He got what he wanted, why should others feel sad for him?"

Emperor Liang De paused for a moment and suddenly asked back: "My death may not be as comfortable as his, don't you think?"

...The dog emperor knows everything!

Xue Qingyin gritted her teeth.

"Why are you silent? Are you soft-hearted after hearing this?"

"I won't be soft-hearted, and neither will King Xuan."

The Emperor Liang De sighed at this time and said, "I have always thought that you were sincere when you were with me. Now it seems that you are only sincere when you are with King Xuan."

Xue Qingyin denied him: "Who said that?"

"Well? Isn't it? I saw you standing here surrounded by them... It is enough to show that you have always been biased towards King Xuan..."

Xue Qingyin interrupted him and said word by word: "I am sincere to King Xuan, to my mother, to the maids and palace people around me, to King Xuan's subordinates, to the old subordinates of Prince Zhang, and even to the servants on my farm... All of them are sincere."

She told him: "Only to Your Majesty, all of them are false."

The sound of something breaking suddenly rang out in the hall.

The palace door was pushed open more tremblingly by the palace people, and finally the appearance of Emperor Liang De inside was completely revealed.

He lost his composure.

The veins on his neck and forehead bulged, and he pursed his lips tightly. Perhaps it was the extreme anger that made his body tremble slightly.

"Okay... okay!" He slowly calmed down and asked coldly: "Is King Xuan also like this?"

Xue Qingyin asked him back: "Your Majesty dare to ask King Xuan?"

Emperor Liang De still pursed his lips tightly, his face turned blue.

After a while, he turned his eyes and saw Dou Ruyun and others: "... They are not the personal guards of King Xuan. They look familiar."

Since it has come to this point, Xue Qingyin will naturally not hide it from him: "They are the old subordinates of Prince Zhang, who defected from the Xingyuan Army that year."

"Weren't they killed by King Xuan himself?"

"Some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they are in collusion with foreigners. Naturally, they should be killed." Xue Qingyin changed the subject, "Your Majesty, do you know how we met the Qinggui Army?"

"... No wonder they returned to the capital in one day. I thought they were really tired of living in the open air and away from their relatives. Did you send them to protect Qiao Xinyu? It seems that Qiao Teng's rebellion is inevitable. He led his troops into the capital, right?" People like Liang Dedi will immediately understand the whole story with just a little reminder.

"Qingyin, you have a very clear grasp of my thoughts. At that time, you used Qiao Xinyu to dispel my suspicion." He said.

Xue Qingyin frowned unhappily, and then continued: "Some of the Xingyuan Army colluded with the Meng tribe. The Qinggui Army came thousands of miles away, riding on the wind and sand, just to kill those who betrayed Daliang... and then I ran into them."

Emperor Liang De was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "... Well, that's what they would do."

"But how can you mobilize them? How do you prove that King Xuan is the descendant of Prince Zhang?" he asked.

"Tiger Talisman." Xue Qingyin took out the jade, "Isn't this what your majesty has been looking for?"

"Where did you get it?" Emperor Liang De frowned.

All this seemed to be helped by God.

"The prince has it. This and many letters are relics left by the mother of the king of Xuan. But they were detained by the queen and handed over to the prince. The hope is to use the Qinggui Army for her own use in the future, and at the same time use those letters to provoke you to kill the king of Xuan."

Emperor Liang De looked gloomy and cursed: "This idiot, I didn't expect you to have such a vicious mind."

Emperor Liang De asked: "Where are those letters?"

Xue Qingyin said: "They are all here with me."

Emperor Liang De narrowed his eyes: "Have you opened them and read them?"

"I have read two."

"What is written? ... It can provoke my murderous intention. It must be the letters between Prince Zhang and the mother of the king of Xuan."

Xue Qingyin asked him back: "Why should I tell you?"

Emperor Liang De was really angry at this time. He cursed: "Prince idiot... Died very well."

He suddenly raised his eyes and stared in the direction of Xue Qingyin: "Is the king of Xuan missing?"

Xue Qingyin clenched the hem of her skirt.

"You deliberately mentioned the letter, don't you want me to exchange it for the news of King Xuan?"

"How do I know whether the news you said is true or false?"

"Long before going to the Circular Mound to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, I had ordered a secret guard in my hands that if I did not return to the capital after the sacrifice, they should not hesitate and immediately find a way to kill King Xuan and Xue Ning." Emperor Liang De slowly uttered the voice.

Of course, he did not come to the Circular Mound to "fish" without any preparation.

If he really died here, it would be nothing more than letting the seventh prince succeed to the throne in advance.

He has no shortage of talented people and loyal ministers like the Duke of Zhao, who will find ways to assist the seventh prince. Concubine Dong is weak, and it is difficult for the foreign relatives to become powerful.

For the seventh prince, the next emperor is very easy to do.

At that time, Emperor Liang De also seriously thought that it would be good if they all died together.

"Secret guards?"

"Some people who are not registered."

"Use your majesty's private seal to mobilize?"

"Yes." Emperor Liang De paused, "You moved my private seal that day. Hmm? Did you make one yourself? Want to use a fake one to save King Xuan?"

Xue Qingyin nodded: "Yes."

Emperor Liang De smiled helplessly: "I tell you, it's useless. You don't even know how to use the seal."

"Isn't it just stamping on the envelope? There can't be anything in the envelope. Right?"

"..."

"Qingyin, Qingyin, you really should be my daughter. How can you be so smart?"

"Your majesty likes to recognize cheap sons and cheap daughters so much?"

"..."Emperor Liang De's face was extremely ugly for a moment.

He then said in a serious tone, "It's useless. Look, how many days have passed? They have already taken action."

He paused, and then said, "That day, King Xuan left alone. He must have gone crazy after hearing the news of your death and wanted to kill Xue Ning. When the secret guards found them, they must have been happy that they didn't have to make an extra trip. It was just in time for both sides to suffer losses, so they could just deal with the two of them together."

Xue Qingyin got out of the sedan in anger and said coldly, "Your Majesty, do you know why you have fallen into this situation?"

Emperor Liang De looked up at her and said nothing.

"A person like you, selfish, suspicious, arbitrary and authoritarian... How can anyone treat you sincerely?"

Emperor Liang De's face twitched, he clenched the armrest of the chair, and said in a calm tone: "As an emperor, you are alone and destined to walk alone in this world. I don't care."

"If you don't care, then why do you worry about it several times to test whether King Xuan regards you as his father? Why do you force me to stay in the palace? Why did you want to kill He Songning immediately after learning that he wanted to be the emperor? You are reluctant to share a little sincerity with others, but you want others to treat you sincerely. If someone is unwilling to give, you will be angry and embarrassed. Don't you care?"

"You care! You care too much! From the first time you snatched something that didn't belong to you, you care a lot! After you changed the identity and name of King Xuan's biological mother, did you also think day and night, how much of her heart was Prince Zhang and how much of you?"

"Xue Qingyin!" Emperor Liang De stood up suddenly and drew his knife.

He was tall and majestic, with an imposing aura, like a Shura.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of swords being drawn.

The Xuanjia Guards and the elite guards all drew their swords.

Dou Ruyun even stepped in front of Xue Qingyin.
