Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 250 Flames
The sound of war drums outside the city can be faintly heard even in Fengqi Palace inside the imperial city.

Emperor Yongde sat on the highest step of the main hall of Fengqi Palace, with disheveled hair, his right hand resting his sword on the ground, silently looking at the four wide open palace gates.Billows of smoke blackened the morning sky and obscured the rising sun.

There are no servants around him anymore, courtiers, guards, court ladies...all are gone.

Everyone thought that Emperor Yongde had gone completely insane.He not only killed the prince, but also ministers, concubines, and court ladies.No one has the guts to stay by his side.

"Your Majesty," a general rushed into the palace gate and shouted from a distance below the steps, "General Zhang has surrendered, King Qi and the Shengzhou coalition forces have already attacked the city."

He didn't dare to get close to Emperor Yongde, for fear that Emperor Yongde would suddenly jump up and stab him to death.

"I see," Emperor Yongde nodded stiffly, as if his neck was rusty, "Is there any news about Zhuo'er?"

The general shook his head: "The West did not see any reinforcements."

"What am I thinking, of course he won't come," Emperor Yongde muttered to himself, "I killed Jing Yun and chased him...he is not my son...hehe, even my son They are all attacking me, how could he come to save me?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Qi did not attack the city," the military general saw Emperor Yongde talking to himself there, and reminded him aloud, "He said that he would not attack the city for the sake of the people in the city. King Qi also said that he and His Majesty Brothers, we will never harm His Majesty, I hope His Majesty can rest assured and move over to the city and have a chat with him."

"Understood, let's go down." Emperor Yongde raised his hand and waved it, ordering the general to retreat.

When he was the only one left, Emperor Yongde put his hand on the cold steps and stood up tremblingly: "See him... How could I go to see him. Hehe...No harm will be done if you say anything, He will never let me live."

"I am Emperor Dayan, not an animal to be slaughtered." He turned around and walked into the hall staggeringly holding his sword.

When he passed the wall where the portrait of Empress Pei had been hung before, he stopped and stared at the bare white wall.

He still remembers the scene when he tore up the portrait and let the pieces fall to the ground like white petals.

"Jingyun, in fact, you are not wrong. I am the one who was wrong." Emperor Yongde looked blankly at the bare wall. "You know my character. You know that if you tell me the truth, I will not only kill you, but also kill you." Will kill Zhuoer..."

A burst of dizziness struck, Emperor Yongde couldn't stand upright, and stretched out his hand to support the wall.

In a trance, he seemed to be back when he was ten years old.

I remember that the capital city at that time was also bustling and lively.

I remember that I was as reckless and irritable as I am now.

"Xiao Ming, thanks to you, you are still my brother." He aggressively pointed the riding whip in his hand at the boy opposite, "Why are you protecting this girl? You don't know her."

The boy in front of him is Xiao Ming, one year younger than him, and a half brother.

Xiao Ming guarded behind him a little girl who was lying on the ground crying. The little girl was only five or six years old, and was crying profusely.

Whether it was him, Xiao Ming or that little girl, there were servants following him.All the servants knew who the two sides in the fight were, and no one dared to come forward to dissuade them.

The boy on the opposite side said: "Don't lie too much to Xiao Xiao. Someone just frightened your horse, so you beat him with a whip."

"Scaring the prince, even beating her is light." He was so angry that he raised the horsewhip in his hand and wanted to chop it off: "Your elbow is turned outward, believe it or not, I will beat you too."

Xiao Ming took the girl's hand and ran, shouting as he ran, "Wait, I'll tell Father, you are bullying others."

He wanted to catch up, but he couldn't bear to leave his pony behind, so he had to take back his whip.

Looking around, the girl's companion was still at the scene, about four or five years old, standing there stupidly, holding a big pear and gnawing on it.

He said to the little girl eating pears: "Hey, who is that silly girl?"

"It's my sister," the little girl looked at the horsewhip in his hand in fear, "You...you can eat a pear too, my mother said that you can eat a pear when you are angry, and the pear will relieve the fire."

"What's your sister's name?" He was a little curious.

"Pei Jingyun." The little girl replied timidly, "My name is Pei Shaoya, Brother Prince, do you eat pears?"

"Don't eat," he raised his whip to threaten her, "go away."

The little girl threw away the pear, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The speed made him speechless.

"So it's Duke Pei's daughter." He turned around and tapped the whip lightly on the palm of his hand. "It turns out that the emperor said that he married Pei Guogong with his fingertips, and she was talking about her. I don't even know how to walk." It's probably the first time I've come to the capital... I don't want to marry such an idiot."

However, ten years later, he ascended the throne and became emperor, and still married the silly girl who bumped into his horse back then.

That silly girl has already come out beautifully and charmingly, her talent is Wushuang, and she has become the perfect candidate for the empress.

In the bridal chamber, he said to Pei Jingyun: "I whipped you back then because I was too young and too reckless. From now on, I will definitely treat you well."

"It can't be changed," Pei Jingyun shook her head worryingly. "At that time, His Majesty was still young, and he only knew how to beat with a whip. Now that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he can decide life and death. It's different."

At that time, he was in the midst of a happy wedding, so he didn't take Pei Jingyun's words seriously, thinking that she was just caring about what happened back then.

Thinking back now, Pei Jingyun already knew who he was ten years ago.

"You were afraid that I would kill Zhuo'er, and you kept it a secret for 20 years."

Emperor Yongde sighed heavily: "Why did you tell me the truth? You know that I am an idiot who can't bear this fact. It would be nice to keep it a secret. This way nothing will happen later. You and I will die sooner or later." , Zhuoer will ascend the throne, why did you tell me the truth?"

He leaned on the wall and stumbled towards the room at the end of the corridor.

"You have endured 20 years of torment, is it because guilt has crushed you..." He knocked open the door, but tripped over the threshold, and entered the room suddenly.

While turning, the sword in his hand hit a jar, and the jar shattered with a sound, with fuel gurgling out.

Emperor Yongde sat up, looked at the jars that filled the room, with the smell of fuel in his mouth and nose, and remained silent.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," a voice came from afar, "We have a letter from the West."

Emperor Yongde was already in a trance at this time, and he heard "West" as "King of Qi".

"Sure enough, he couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to urge me to die," he laughed. "Could it be God's will?"

He swung his sword and chopped down the candles on the table.

A small flame fell into the fuel oil on the ground, and instantly turned into a dazzling flame. The whole room ignited a raging fire, enveloping him in the flame.
