There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 159
When he is enthroned to rule the world, what is a mere Xia Houjue?At that time, wouldn't he still have to kneel beside him like a dog and beg for mercy?
He can also get back the shame that was crushed by him one by one.

Not only did he want to get it back, but he also had to imprison him and slowly torture him until he was half dead, then throw him outside the desolate and remote fortress to fend for himself.

No, no, no, you can't let him fend for himself, you can't let him die.

He wants to cut his imperial status and let him live like a dog.

In short, as long as he persists now, he will be able to fulfill his wish for many years and successfully sit on the throne of God.

Not only can I get what I want, but even my mother can become the empress dowager as she wishes.

As for that so-called Empress Jing Minxian, that slut woman who has made her mother's heart troubled for so many years, it is not too much to pull out and flog the corpse, so what qualifications does she have to enjoy the royal incense?
The more Xia Houyan thought about it, the more complacent he became, and he was so proud that there were suddenly many black-clothed dark guards in front of him, but he didn't notice.

They were all dressed in black, he thought they belonged to him, and he was even more confident because of this.

"Father, have you been thinking about it for too long? I'm almost running out of patience!" Xia Houyan raised the shining sword on Emperor Jingyuan's chin, his face contorted and threatening.

Li Baoyuan got up to block the sword for the emperor, but was kicked by the man in black in front of him, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

The moment he fell down, his face was full of despair. Could it be that the sky is really going to change?

The three floors inside and outside were so tight that he couldn't even give him a look.

He is only a eunuch, he has no other way but this physical body can block a sword for the emperor, he has tried his best.

"Your majesty, old slave..."

"Li Baoyuan!"

When Emperor Jing Yuan moved, the sharp blade slid across the wrinkled skin of his neck, and a bloodstain gushed out instantly, and the bright red blood quickly slid down the thin wound.

"Your Majesty!" The surrounding court ladies and eunuchs wanted to step forward to rescue him.

The men in black raised their knives and slashed several times. The smell of blood and screams instantly filled the entire inner hall.

"Help! Ah!"

"Come here!" Some of the maids screamed, some cried, and some fainted to the ground.

Just when the inner hall was about to turn into a mess, a rain of bows and arrows shot through the window paper with a 'swish swish', just hitting the group of men in black, and they were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Xia Houyan was also hit by an arrow, and didn't hurt his vitals, but he was completely incapacitated. He hugged his shoulders and put his knees on the ground, howling in pain, like a wild wolf waiting for an opportunity to get revenge but was bitten back.

In the blink of an eye, a group of hidden guards who had sneaked into the room quickly subdued all the men in black on the spot, and tied them up one by one.

And Xia Houyan could only watch all this helplessly, unable to fight back.

"Father, my son came late to rescue me, please forgive me!" Xia Houjue appeared at the right time.

Tang Wanning, who was following him with a bow and arrow on her back, also knelt on her knees: "Please punish my father!"

As soon as the two of them appeared, the scene immediately reversed completely.

The man in black stopped struggling, the maid stopped screaming, everyone kneeled on the ground, everything was quiet, and everything returned to its original appearance.

Emperor Jingyuan looked around and waved his hands wearily: "Get up!"

He solemnly glanced at the queen who was still asleep on the bed, and his cloudy eyes were suddenly extremely cold.

"You sent people to clean up all of these. Those who should be taken into prison should be taken into custody, those who should be shot should be shot, those who should be recuperated should be recuperated, and those should be rewarded."

After speaking, he staggered and walked out in a mess.

Some court ladies and eunuchs wanted to follow, but he turned his head and gave an order, and those people had no choice but to stop.

Everyone just watched the emperor step by step, walking towards the door.

As the sun sets, the earth seems to be covered with a layer of gold powder. The palaces with red walls and green tiles are particularly beautiful in the setting sun, yet simple and heavy.

Emperor Jingyuan walked alone on the long corridor, and the setting sun stretched his shadow long.

He staggered and his back was hunched, like an octogenarian returning home late, he just walked step by step until he disappeared at the end of the palace, never to be seen again.

"The old man has a long-term ambition, and the martyr is full of ambition in his old age!" Tang Wanning recited this sentence in her heart.

She glanced at Xia Houjue, his expression was dark and unclear, he didn't know what he was thinking, after a long sigh of relief, Tang Wan stood up.

After Emperor Jing Yuan left, Xia Houjue moved more quickly.

"Prince Chen and his accomplices assassinated the emperor with the intention of treason, and they were imprisoned in the prison for trial. As for the empress." He glanced at the bed, his eyes were cold.

"All the court ladies and eunuchs will be taken into the Punishment Department, all the imperial physicians will be dismissed for investigation, and the Shang Palace Bureau will be reassigned. From today onwards, no one is allowed to visit without the emperor's order."

"Yes!"

The black-clothed dark guard moved even more nimbly, and when the two arrested one, those people couldn't even utter a word of injustice.

In a short while, the inner hall was clean, leaving only the empress alone on the dragon and phoenix couch.

After confirming that there were no omissions, Xia Houjue took Tang Wanning and left.

……

On the way back to Yuqing Palace, Tang Wanning kept her head down, as if her heart was blocked by a stone.

"That... I want to ask, is this also one of your good plays?"

It's not that she wants to empathize with those white lotus whores, she just wants to know the truth.

If a person can calculate people's hearts to such an extent, it would be too scary. She suddenly wanted to know, is Xia Houjue such a person?
"No!" Xia Houjue's expression was cold.

Although there was no icy cold just now, he was not even half warm after all. He had just a face of ice cubes, and she had already gotten used to it.

"Oh!"

Inexplicably relieved, Tang Wanning's face softened, "Indeed, who would have thought that Xia Houyan would suddenly go crazy?"

Wasn't the court battle all brothers fighting each other in the past?It's ironic to think about how it has developed to become a father and son.

"This imperial palace is really as people say, only you can't think of it, what can't happen without it?" It's really different from what I thought.

When the bloody fact of Chi Guoguo was before her eyes, she realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.

This place is really a place where you will die if you are not careful. In the past, she still thought too simply.

A gust of wind blew, and Tang Wanning hugged her arms subconsciously. Maybe it was because her heart was cold, or maybe her body was cold. She was trembling a little.

At this moment, a black embroidered cloak fell on his shoulders, and a pair of arms as hard as iron.

"Don't be afraid, Gu will take care of you!"

Seeing the sky gradually falling from the horizon, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

The palace lanterns were lit up one by one, and the passage back to the palace was as bright as the Dragon Boat Festival in the old year. At that time, they walked in the same way.
