Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 329 The Fate of Emperor Longde
In Xiao Yichen's eyes, he could only see Lu Xinyan.

Wearing an ordinary stone blue Luo Yiru skirt on her body, she looked very different because of her different bearing.

The waist is still slender and slender, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the trace of pregnancy at all.

The pair of black eyes on the beautiful face, when seeing him, revealed the light like stars.

His complexion is neither bad nor bad. It seems that he has suffered in prison, but not much.

But his woman and his child were supposed to be well-fed and well-fed in the mansion, how could they appear in such a dirty place?

How can he bear it?
"Zhuzhu." He whispered and walked towards her.

When Lu Xinyan was rescued, she already knew that Xiao Yichen was back, and seeing it with her own eyes, she still couldn't stop being excited.

The cold armor glowed with a cold light, and the deep and handsome face experienced the wind and frost of the Dongyuan battlefield, and was polished to become harder and sharper, and more sexy and charming.

And the way he looked at her was as gentle as looking at the whole world.

He walked towards her with vigorous steps, like a hero coming on colorful auspicious clouds.

Bang bang, bang bang.

Every step, like walking on her heart, caused a huge echo.

Lu Xinyan didn't expect that a few months after she married Xiao Yichen, she saw him again, and under such a dangerous situation, her heart would beat like thunder.

The familiar clear breath surrounded her, a strong arm wrapped around her soft waist, and he held her in his arms with a reassuring and heart-warming breath.

"Zhuzhu, I'm back, I'm sorry to trouble you.".
"What do you mean!?" An angry shout resounded in the sky above Wenchang Hall, "Long Aiqing, have you forgotten the precepts of your ancestors of the Long family? You are not allowed to participate in the struggle for imperial power"

"Back to the emperor," Long Tianxing cupped his hands casually, "I don't participate in the struggle for imperial power, but the princess has a deep relationship with the people I value, and I was entrusted by others, so I can't just watch her die tragically! Yes, I don't care!"

From the outsiders' ears, it might be thought that the person Long Tianxing said was referring to Yao Xue, but in fact Long Tianxing was talking about So Yun.

He was once very upset about saving Lu Xinyan, but then Lengge thought of a reason for him: "Master, think about it from a different angle. If the princess hadn't bought Miss Shuyun back, you might never meet Shuyun in your life." Girl! Even if you meet, the girl Shuyun back then must not be the girl Shuyun now!"

Every time Long Tianxing was so angry with Shu Yun that he thought about it not only a thousand times but ten thousand times, he wished he would never meet her in his life.But when he thought about this, if it really happened, he felt even more uncomfortable.

The capital is said to be so big, and there are only a few brothels in the capital that are good.If Lu Xinyan hadn't bought Shu Yun, he might have met her in a brothel, and at that time, Shu Yun had already been touched by countless men.
Thinking of this, Long Tianxing wanted to kill those imaginary men, so he felt less aggrieved about saving Lu Xinyan.

After Long Tianxing finished speaking, he took the initiative to step aside, expressing his position of not participating in the struggle for imperial power.

The loss of one Long Tianxing is equal to the loss of one-third of the threat. Emperor Longde's complexion improved slightly, and he pointed the finger at Xiao Yan, "What about you? Xiao Aiqing! I congratulate you for finally getting out of the wheelchair. But what do you mean now?"

"Because of my minister, my heart is chilled." Xiao Yan said: "Does the emperor still remember this Wenchang Palace?"

Emperor Longde said: "What do you mean?" I don't know whether he responded to the previous sentence or the latter sentence.

"Eighteen years ago, Chen's father led Chen and a group of brothers to protect the emperor to the death. The place where he heard the news of victory was Wenchang Hall! The next second, my father died tragically, and I was unconscious. The place where my brothers died here is also this Wenchang Hall! Your Majesty, have you already forgotten?"

Emperor Longde's complexion changed.Indeed, he used to remember and always remembered, so Wenchang Hall has been closed and never opened.

But since the incident in Wuyuan, after the incident in Wende Palace, he has completely forgotten everything that happened in Wenchang Palace.

"Of course I haven't forgotten!" But he wouldn't admit it, "Otherwise, Wenchang Palace won't be closed for 18 years! It's just to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed here for me and Tianwu Jiangshan!"

Emperor Longde's voice changed, and his momentum was fierce, "Xiao Aiqing, this is the place where your father, the old man, did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to support me, but now you are going to go against his old man's wishes and turn against me here!?"

"Because of my minister, my heart is chilled." The same sentence was said again, proving how chilled Xiao Yan's heart was, "My daughter-in-law, my future grandson, and my nephew, because of the emperor's selfishness and injustice. I am about to die in Huangquan, I have no choice but to do this!"

"Your Majesty knows that the Emperor has murderous intentions towards the Duke of Zhenguo, and he will also prevent our Duke of Zhenguo from saving people, so I sent people to the prison overnight to rescue people. As a result." Xiao Yan sighed, "It's really on your behalf. As expected, after the minister's people arrived, they happened to run into the person sent by the emperor."

In fact, it was not Xiao Yan who expected Emperor Longde to strike early, but Wu Rui.Wu Rui knew Emperor Longde better than anyone else. He guessed that since Emperor Longde had launched a murderous plan against Lu Xinyan and Wu Sheng, he would be foolproof, so he secretly passed his guess to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan hoped that Wu Rui's guess was wrong, because he didn't really give up on Emperor Longde.But when his subordinates came out carrying the corpses of the people sent by Emperor Longde, the last fire of loyalty in Xiao Yan's heart was finally extinguished.

"Since ancient times, the emperor wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die! This is a loyal minister and a good general!" Emperor Longde sneered, "You are dissatisfied with my judgment, which means that you have long had the intention of treason against me! Then if I want to execute them, why not?" What's wrong? Rebellious ministers and traitors deserve to die without a place to die!"

Xiao Yan said: "So 18 years ago, the emperor single-handedly planned the ex-prince's rebellion, and asked the minister's father to bring the minister and all the brothers into the palace to escort him. In fact, he had already secretly laid a net to kill two birds with one stone. By the way, he will wipe out my Xiao family in one go, so as to prevent future troubles forever?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Fei and the others on the field showed expressions of grief and indignation, and Qi Qi glared at Emperor Longde angrily.

Most of their grandfathers or fathers died on that day.

The hands under Emperor Longde's sleeve trembled slightly, but he sneered on his face, "I know that you deliberately pushed the death of the old Duke on my head, just to find a legitimate reason for your treason! "

"Does the emperor recognize this?"

"Of course I won't admit to something I haven't done!"

At this time, Wu Rui said in deep pain: "Brother Huang, the death of the old Duke really has nothing to do with you, Brother Huang?"

"Brother Eight Emperors, don't even you believe me? Do you want to stand on the side of outsiders, listen to slander, and doubt me!?" Emperor Longde said impassionedly: "If you want to frame me, you'd better show real evidence, otherwise you can just rely on I don't believe that you can fool everyone in the world with such one-sided words!"

"The witnesses are here."

After the words fell, a man and a woman walked in outside the Wenchang Hall.

The man was tall and cold, and it was Leng Xun. His beard was shaved off while he was in a coma, revealing his true face, making Qiu Wuya and the others who hadn't seen him for a long time not recognize him for a while.

Another woman, wearing a hood, cannot see her face.She was dressed as a servant, but her walking posture was extraordinarily upright.

When Emperor Longde saw Leng Xun, his complexion changed slightly imperceptibly, and he preemptively said, "So it's you! Could it be that I suspected that you colluded with Concubine Xiao Gui to poison me, and tortured you to prove what happened 18 years ago?" Was it arranged by me?"

Wu Shengchu didn't recognize Leng Xun at first, but now after hearing what Emperor Longde said, he realized that the person in front of him was Leng Xun who he was ordered to imprison and torture privately!

He secretly changed his face, but no one noticed him at this time.

"Your Majesty Yushi Chuhe, please refer to the Emperor, my lords." Aunt Yu saluted, with a standard posture that seemed to have been strictly trained, "I have scars on my face, and I am afraid that I will scare the nobles, so I use a hat to cover it." So, please forgive me, Your Majesty and all your lords."

"Chu He?" Emperor Longde finally froze.

Aunt Yu said: "It's the servant girl, Your Majesty! The servant girl is not dead!"

Wu Ruidao: "Miss Chu, what happened back then, you can tell it exactly, don't hide it or make it up!"

"Yes, my lord." Aunt Yu said, "This servant girl was originally a female official in front of the emperor's imperial court. After the death of the late emperor, the servant girl didn't know what would happen in the future, and she was terrified. One day, she quietly came to Wenchang Palace to cherish the memory of the past. Who would have thought that suddenly There was a change in the palace, and the noise of killing was loud outside. The servants were terrified and did not dare to go out, so they hid under the imperial case where the late emperor was reviewing the memorials. After some time, many people rushed in, and then a eunuch shouted: "The anti-prince has set fire to himself in the East Palace." La! Then everyone cheered: Victory, victory!
The servant girl thought it was safe, she lifted the curtain and was about to come out, but saw the fourth prince secretly making a gesture.Immediately afterwards, the servant saw with his own eyes the people standing behind General Xiao, General Xiao, and their guards, and suddenly took out his long sword and saber, and slashed at them!The servant girl was so shocked that she almost screamed and covered her mouth tightly!After those people killed General Xiao and the others, the Fourth Prince ordered them to check if there were any survivors!At that time, General Xiao's 'corpse' was the closest to Yu's case, and the people who were ordered to check him found the servant girl!The servant was pulled out from under the desk, the servant cried and begged for mercy, but the fourth prince said indifferently: "Clean it up."

The servant girl thought she was dead, but the servant girl did not die.When the fourth prince ordered the servants to be killed, a guard named Yu Jian beside him volunteered to do it.Later, the servant knew that Brother Yu couldn't bear to kill the servant because he loved the servant, so his subordinates interceded, and quietly took the servant home from the mass grave for medical treatment.Later, in order to survive, the servant took the initiative to ruin her face and married him.

More than a year after marrying Big Brother Yu, after the slave gave birth to his daughter, he suffered a sudden emergency.Worried that her identity would be found out, the servant girl wanted to take her daughter to leave the capital, but found that the capital was under martial law.The slaves did not dare to go out of the capital, so they set fire to their own homes, pretended to be dead, and then took their daughters everywhere to beg for a living.Later, he met his wife and finally settled down in the village in the countryside.

The maid not only saw what happened back then, but also asked Big Brother Yu personally. He personally admitted that the accident in the Xiao family was deliberately arranged by the fourth prince, but he didn't know it beforehand, and only learned the truth after the accident!The words of the slaves are true, there is absolutely no falsehood! "

Emperor Longde ranked fourth, and was the fourth prince before he ascended the throne.

After Leng Xun discovered Aunt Yu's identity, Xiao Yan and others who were present had heard these words more than once.

However, even after hearing it countless times, when the truth is cruelly exposed to the eyes again.The anger in their hearts not only did not subside, but instead grew higher and higher.

But Wu Rui and Wu Sheng, who had never heard of this matter, were so shocked that their minds went blank.

"Miss Chu? I remember you. You are the imperial father's imperial patriarch." Emperor Longde leaned forward, trying to oppress Aunt Yu, "But I don't remember seeing you on the day of the palace change. You and they colluded and fabricated all this just now, right? Do you know that it is a capital offense for a court lady to leave the palace to marry without approval? If you testify against them for persecuting you, I will save you from death!"

Xiao Yan and the others were so angry that they trembled all over. They didn't expect that at this time, Emperor Longde would still refuse to admit it.

"If the emperor thinks Aunt Yu's evidence is not enough, I have other evidence here!"

Xiao Yichen let go of Lu Xinyan, walked up to Emperor Longde, and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms.

Those papers are new and old, some are yellowed, and some are brand new.

"Back then, the Xiao family was assassinated by the emperor's order. There were ten people in total, including the emperor's guards present, a total of 30 people. These 30 people began to die one by one inexplicably two years after the emperor ascended the throne. A small number of people smelled something wrong and fled with their families, but they still couldn't get rid of the emperor's clutches. It took me five years to finally find the descendants of the three who escaped the catastrophe, and got this a statement."

Xiao Yichen said: "Your Majesty, if you doubt the contents of this paper, I can immediately ask someone to bring them to confront them in court!"

He began to suspect that the accident in the Xiao family had something to do with the Wu family 18 years ago. It was when Hou Ping, the little monkey's father, died on the Eastern Yuan battlefield for no apparent reason.

Hou Ping had said in front of him more than once before that he suspected that there was something hidden behind the accident in the Xiao family.After Hou Ping's death, Xiao Yichen suspected that there were traitors in the army and decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Two years later, when he collected the first witness's statement, he was not only shocked, but also disbelieved.

But in fact, he had a little faith in his heart, because at that time when he returned from the Eastern Yuan battlefield, Emperor Longde only sealed him as a fifth-rank without real power because he and the supervisor Qi Huai'en participated in his book. General Zuo Lang.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he still didn't want to listen to and believe in one side.So I kept looking for the whereabouts of the other descendants of those 30 people, until some days later I found the remaining two.

The three families have not been in contact for more than ten years, and there is no possibility of a joint confession.

Only now did Xiao Yichen finally confirm that what happened to the Xiao family 18 years ago was planned by Emperor Longde, the royal family member whom the Xiao family swore to serve to the death.

After receiving the news, he was worried that Emperor Longde would take advantage of his absence in the capital to deal with the Duke of Zhenguo.So he quickly launched a fierce offensive against Ula, successfully subdued Ula within three days, and then rushed back to the capital without stopping.

Only then did he return to the capital nearly half a month earlier than the original scheduled time.

"Royal brother, is what they said just now true?" Wu Rui recovered from the shocking truth, and asked Emperor Longde in disbelief and pain, "Royal brother, the heroes of the Xiao family for generations have come for me Tianwu has made great contributions, why are you, why?"

Kill loyal ministers and destroy good generals!This is something that the former emperor would do!How could their Wu clan do such a brazen thing! ?
Emperor Longde was expressionless at first, then sneered in a low voice, and then laughed louder and louder, he couldn't help laughing, "Eighth Emperor Brother, it's all your fault."

"Blame me?"

"Yeah, it's all your fault! Blame you for being born in this world!" The laughter stopped abruptly, and Emperor Longde's face instantly became horrifying, "The whole Tianwu knows that the father favors you, even if the crown prince is appointed , I want you to ascend to the throne! He has always only had you in his eyes, never I! I have great ambitions, grand plans, great ambitions, people all over the world, and thousands of miles of land, but my father can't see it, he can only see you!

I managed to get this throne, I want to sit firmly!There are more than half of the people who support you in the court, I can't kill them all, so I picked the Xiao family who has the best personal relationship with you!Not only because they are friendly with you, but also because they hold a large army and respond to everyone in the army!On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully?Without them, my heart is restless! "

"Brother Huang!" Hearing the truth, Wu Rui was shocked. "Brother Huang, I told you earlier in the morning that I have no intention of becoming the emperor, and I am willing to assist you to ascend the throne! Brother Huang, why do you still want to do this?"

"People's hearts will change. When you were young, all you wanted was to roam the rivers and lakes and live a free and easy life. But who can guarantee that you will still not want to in three years, five years, ten years? I will never tolerate such a thing to happen!"

"Since the emperor doesn't believe in the younger brother, why didn't he just kill the younger brother directly, wouldn't that be the end of everything?"

Emperor Longde sneered, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? I've thought about it thousands of times! When my father didn't see me, I wanted to use you to attract my father's attention! After I got my father's attention, I can't even kill you, because I'm not strong enough! If someone finds out that you died at my hands, those courtiers who support you will turn to support other princes! So I want to keep you, and use the people who support you to help you. Ascend to the throne and help me stabilize the country! Then, I will find a way to get rid of you one by one!"

"So that's how it is, haha." Wu Rui chuckled sadly, extremely disappointed.

When he asked Emperor Longde why he didn't kill him directly, in fact, he still had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, expecting to hear his beloved emperor brother tell him that because he was his younger brother, he couldn't bear to kill him.

But in the end, hehe, it turned out that Emperor Longde had never had any affection for him, but only used him.Not only use him, but even hate him to the bone!

"Hahaha!" Emperor Longde laughed again, "Now that you know the truth, what can you do? Kill me?"

Everyone glared at Emperor Longde with red eyes. They were loyal to the emperor and patriotic. This belief was engraved in the bone marrow and blood of their ancestors and passed down from generation to generation.

They disobeyed Emperor Longde because they were oppressed and their ancestors were treated unfairly. They wanted justice!
but regicide
This is something no one has thought of!

"Since you dare not kill me, then don't blame me for being rude!" Emperor Longde's smile instantly became vicious, "Eighth Emperor Brother, I order you to kill the rebel Xiao family father and son!"

"Emperor brother, pardon me."

"Look at what this is?" Emperor Longde took out something from his sleeve and threw it at Wu Rui's feet.

Wu Rui picked it up and looked at it, his face changed drastically.

An ominous premonition arose in Lu Xinyan's heart, and there were only two people who could change Wu Rui's face drastically.

One is Azhu, but Wu Rui has already prepared himself against Emperor Longde, and must have sent a master to protect Azhu.

The other one is her aunt Lin Ruyue.

Lin Ruyue disappeared suddenly after entering the Ankangbo mansion. Because there were too few clues, the people in Zhuquetang couldn't find any trace.

I'm afraid that the news of taking away Lin Ruyue was so well concealed.
Sure enough, Emperor Longde's ruthless and cold voice sounded, "Eighth Emperor Brother, do you recognize who owns this bracelet? Thanks to Wu Shuo, I found out that you have been hiding someone in your heart after a search! 18 Years ago, you rushed back to the capital from Jianglin, missed your love, and regretted it for 18 years! Afterwards, you tried every means to get her by your side, but accidentally lost her! Now she is in my hands, as long as you Help me kill Xiao's father and son, I promise you, let your family of three go back to Beizhou!"

Wu Rui held the bracelet tightly, shaking all over his body, and even his voice changed, "Is she okay?"

"not good."

"Brother, what did you do to her!?."

The more Wu Rui was worried about the chaos, the happier Emperor Longde was, and he even had a happy smile on his face, "Don't worry, Eighth Emperor Brother, I didn't punish her, and I didn't treat her harshly! In fact, I asked someone to bring her back. Afterwards, she remained unconscious. Physician Liu said that she should have taken some kind of drug that was harmful to memory before, but when she saw familiar things, her memory conflicted with the properties of the drug, so she fell into a coma."

"Eight Emperor Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. Imperial Physician Liu can only guess the reason for her coma, but he can't cure her. If she can't find a way to heal her, she may fall asleep, and she will fall asleep. You're dead!" Emperor Longde smiled and said, "You have regretted it for 18 years, do you still want to spend the rest of your life in regret?"

Wu Rui stared at Emperor Longde, his chest heaved violently, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart.

One side is love, the other side is righteousness.

He betrayed Lin Ruyue for 18 years, but why didn't he betray the Xiao family for 18 years?

Others didn't know his feelings for Lin Ruyue, they probably thought it was too childish for Emperor Longde to use a woman to threaten Wu Rui, but Lu Xinyan knew it!
"My lord, I want to see my mother first."

When Wu Rui was about to make a decision, Lu Xinyan suddenly said something.

This sentence made Wu Rui wake up in an instant. Not long ago, Wu Yuan stabbed him with the fake Lin Ruyue, which was vivid in his memory.

"Brother Huang, I want to see her and make sure that she is safe and well."

"Brother Eight Emperor was deceived by Wu Shuo before, so I'm worried that I'm also deceiving you, right?" Emperor Longde said, "No problem."

He raised his hand, "Come here, bring Lin Ruyue over here."

Ever since Emperor Longde was imprisoned in Wende Hall by Wuyuan, he was like a frightened bird, and his hidden guards doubled again.

Because of this, when Xiao Yichen and others rushed into Wenchang Palace, he was able to be so calm.

Especially when Long Tianxing stated that he would not participate, and he held a trump card in his hand that could restrain Wu Rui, even if the truth was exposed by accident, he still believed that he had the chance to win.

Time passed bit by bit, and the atmosphere in Wenchang Hall was extremely heavy.

Emperor Longde not only used Lin Ruyue to hold Wu Rui, but actually also held Xiao Yichen and others to a certain extent.

Because she is Lu Xinyan's biological mother, even if Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yan knew that Emperor Longde wanted to use Lin Ruyue to force Wu Rui to kill them, they should act first.But Lin Ruyue is also their mother-in-law and mother-in-law, how can they ignore Lu Xinyan and the child in her belly?
I don't know if it was really a long time, or because they waited impatiently, so they felt that the time passed slowly.

After a long time, the hidden guard sent by Emperor Longde finally returned.

However, there were four people when we went there, and there were still four people when we came back.

"What's going on here?" Emperor Longde lowered his face.

"Back to the emperor, Lin Ruyue is gone."

"What?!" Things were suddenly reversed, and everyone was taken aback.

"How could it be gone?!" Emperor Longde asked sharply because of panic, "Did you let him go?!"

"Subordinates dare not!" One of them said: "Subordinates went down to the dark room, and the people there have long since disappeared. Not only Lin Ruyue, but Imperial Physician Liu has also disappeared!"

Xiao Yan, Xiao Yichen, and Wu Rui looked at each other, and asked with their eyes if the other party rescued them!
After all three shook their heads, they all looked at Long Tianxing again.

Long Tianxing spread his hands, saying that it was none of his business.

He would not be so kind as to buy one get one free.

Lin Ruyue's whereabouts are still unknown, but no matter what, Emperor Longde can no longer threaten Wu Rui.

Emperor Longde collapsed on the dragon chair.

Unexpectedly, after planning for so long, he still failed.

At this time Xiao Yichen took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Longde, "Your Majesty, do you recognize what this is?"

Emperor Longde, who was still ashen-faced just now, suddenly became extremely excited, "Shuangshuang Xianhua!?"

How could he not recognize it? He thought about it day and night, wanting to find the Shuangxianhua and cure the poison of hurting soul powder on him!

Emperor Longde couldn't help stretching out his hands to grab the Shuangxianhua, "Give it to me, give it to me quickly! Give it to me quickly!"

Xiao Yichen took two steps back, took the flower to his nose and sniffed it, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "The fragrance is still there. After I found this flower, I specially asked someone to make dried flowers, so as not to deteriorate and delay the emperor's condition!"

"It's a pity that I wasted all my thoughts!"

He mobilized his inner strength, twisted the flower in his hand into powder little by little, and scattered it away.

Seeing Emperor Longde's face change from joy to despair, Xiao Yichen felt very happy.

"This flower blooms once every three years. I'm afraid that the emperor will bloom again in less than three years!"
