Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 770 Xiao Tingchen, Will Die
Duke's Mansion, big study.

The early winter night is as cold as water, and the shadows of the whirling trees outside the window panes are reflected in the room, making the study even more lonely.

Finally, Lu Yi couldn't bear this strange and oppressive silence, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is he really the Empress of Prince Zhaode?"

Prince Zhaode is the posthumous title given by Xiao Tingchen to Yuan Hui.

"Yes." Sikong Chen was very calm, "Grandpa Guo failed to save Prince Zhaode 22 years ago. I don't know if the blood of serving the family and the country is still there?"

22 years ago, Lu Yi was also loyal to Yuan Hui.

In other words, he is loyal to order.

Yuan Hui is the eldest son of the direct line, and it is justifiable to inherit the throne, so it is not Yuan Xiao's turn to succeed anyway.

But when Yuan Xiao launched the palace change, Lu Yi was fighting in the frontier, so he missed the palace change.

Lu Yi's beard was drooping down, showing hesitation.

After a long time, he said seriously, "What can prove it?"

"The Empress Dowager." Sikong Chen's eyebrows were like mountains, "At that time, the Duke was fighting in the frontier, so he didn't know about the complicated situation in Chang'an City. The Empress Dowager was pregnant with the flesh and blood of Prince Zhaode. Anyone, but gave birth to the child secretly, and sent her to a farmhouse for refuge before the catastrophe came. After that, she was taken captive by Yuan Xiao, and she conceived a pair of twins. My younger brother is alive and well, and even inherited the throne many years later."

Lu Yi's expression was complicated.

He will not doubt the truth of Sikong Chen's words.

Because Sikong Chen is a famous emperor teacher, he assisted many emperors, he was absolutely loyal, and he would never do anything to offend Daqi.

If there is anyone other than the royal family who can represent Daqi, then it can only be this famous emperor teacher!

It's a matter of orthodoxy, and the emperor's teacher must have investigated clearly early in the morning.

Tears of wax rolled down and gradually piled up into hills on the silver cup.

I don't know how long it took before Lu Yi suddenly clenched his old fists, "I regret the mistakes I made back then! So many years in Yuan Xiao's court, I still can't let go of it. Now that the emperor is leading the way, I naturally follow in the footsteps of the emperor! If the emperor has any instructions, just say it!"

Sikongchen twitched his beard and smiled, "Xiao Tingchen is born sensitive. If we delay for too long, he will definitely notice. In my opinion, it's better to force the palace tonight and catch him by surprise. The 20 soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Battalion in the hands of the Duke of the State , we can control the entire Chang'an city as soon as possible, strictly guard the gates, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not dead, we must cut off all possibilities of his comeback, and wipe out his cronies!"

Lu Yi got up, bowed his hands to Sikong Chen solemnly: "But the emperor's master is the master!"

Sikong Chen gave him a hand.

Blood was brewing in his old eyes, and he quietly glanced out of the window.

A shadow hides under the window.

Lu Cunwei was trembling all over, covering his mouth tightly to restrain the urge to shout.

He had heard about the name of the Emperor Master. Daqi was originally a small country, but it gradually expanded and became stronger under the auspices of the Emperor Master.

The emperor's prestige in Daqi is very, very high, and he is an existence admired by everyone.

Although it is said that the emperor will never do wrong things, but...

However, although Xiao Tingchen's succession may not be justified, but he is kind to him after all.

He once fished him out of the mud, how could his father betray the emperor for the so-called "righteousness"?

What's more, the emperor is still his own brother-in-law!

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Cun's forehead, and he ran to the stable on all fours.

He must inform the emperor!

Regardless of etiquette, he used his status as the son of the eldest son to force the imperial guards to open the palace gate, and rode a fast horse quickly through the long palace lanes, heading straight for the Qianhe Palace.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Qianhe Palace, Xiao Tingchen was nowhere to be seen.

Standing under the eaves, Wu Song listened to him panting and saying why he came, the expression on his soft and fair face was indistinguishable.

Lu Cunwei was in a hurry, "Master Wu, where did the emperor go, you should say something!"

Wu Song kept silent and looked at the night sky.

Clouds gather and stars fall.

The moonlight was bleak, and the cold wind blowing was extraordinarily biting.

"Master Wu," Lu Cunwei was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "I was thinking, why not notify the emperor to go out of the city to take refuge, so that the green hills will not be afraid of no firewood, and life-saving is more important than anything else!"

"Under the overturned nest, there are still eggs?" Wu Song said leisurely, "Today's fruit is all his own fault. The empress empress persuaded him, and our family also persuaded him, but he didn't listen, who can be blamed? "

Lu Cunwei was startled, "Master Wu?!"

He couldn't believe that such a scheming person like Wu Song would not even be willing to fight, but chose to give up directly!
Wu Song strolled down the steps, "Our family has no ability to save him... No one has the ability to save him. The disaster is imminent, it is better to save your own life first."

Lu Cunwei watched helplessly as he walked away in the dark night.

He was angry and anxious, so he had to ask the little maids about Xiao Tingchen's whereabouts.

The man he misses is in the Ouxiang Xiaozhu in Lianxin Lake in the Royal Garden.

There is a two-story small building with elegant wood carvings and palace lanterns flickering under the eaves.

Xiao Tingchen was wearing a black uniform embroidered with a gold pan dragon pattern, squinting his peach blossom eyes and sitting on a rocking chair by the window, he slowly threw a peanut into the sky, and then caught it with his mouth.

Behind the bead curtain, Huayue Ji caressed the zither.

She was born beautiful and moving, with carmine red gauze and skirts sweeping the floor, and crow-blue long hair casually rolled up, which made her whiter than snow and beautiful.

The sound of the zither enters the ears, neither fast nor slow, which shows that the player who plays the piano is in a calm state of mind.

Xiao Tingchen chewed peanuts and glanced at her.

He had never seen this woman when he was young, but when he was far away in Jinling City, he also felt admiration.

Now he has a high position and power at his fingertips, but he has no interest in it, and instead misses that silly Su Xiaojiu.

I don't know what the little girl is doing, does she miss him...

He tasted Hua Yueji's zither sound for a while, and his thin lips curled up lightly, "I thought I was the only one who misses you in this cold night, but now it sounds like you also have a lover in your heart."

Hua Yueji's expression was still careless.

Her slender fingers brushed against the strings, and her voice was like water: "Marriage is like a glamorous scene, but in the end it's just the end...Compared with such illusory things, the Hua family cares more about practical interests."

"Practical benefits?"

Xiao Tingchen tasted the word.

Just at this time, the goddess of Weiyang Palace hurried in, and saluted Xiao Tingchen with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, she...she...she suddenly vomited blood, and the imperial doctor said that the situation is very bad!"

Xiao Tingchen stopped throwing peanuts.

After a while, he got up.

Just as she was about to go out, Hua Yueji made a particularly ear-piercing zither sound from her fingertips.

He looked sideways, and the girl smiled, "I will die."

A sentence without beginning or end.

Xiao Tingchen left without paying attention.

The cold wind blew out several palace lanterns, and the light and shadow of Ouxiang Xiaozhu became dizzy.

Hua Yueji got up, picked up a few peanut shells that Xiao Tingchen threw on the ground, and threw them casually like a child playing.

The peanut shell fell to the ground, forming a strange pattern in the girl's eyes.
