The old man lowered his head and knelt on the ground without speaking.
King Yue stepped forward and half-squatted down to look at him: "Luo Kun, what happened back then, tell me!"
The old man Luo Kun raised his head: "His Royal Highness, listen to my advice, don't pursue the truth of the year, it's good for you."
King Yue's face became colder and colder: "You are getting old, and I don't want to punish you, so let me ask you again, what happened back then?"
Luo Kun raised his eyelids: "Your Highness, you know you will regret it later."
"I don't regret it is my business, don't worry about it, you just need to tell me the truth of the year!"
Luo Kun looked at his face carefully, and after a while he shook his head slightly: "No, I won't say it."
A chilling killing intent flashed in King Yue's eyes, he stood up abruptly, folded his body and drew out his long sword, the sound of strong wind rang out from his sleeve, and the cold light of the long sword flashed and hit Luo Kun's throat: "If you don't say anything, I will. Kill you directly, and then you will fall into the yellow spring with those truths!"
"No," Luo Kun, who had always looked indifferent, slammed back and stumbled to the ground, "His Royal Highness, I have been doing evil in my life. If you kill me, doesn't it mean that your hands are dirty? When His Highness leaves, I will I will kill myself and I will never live longer, so please rest assured, Your Highness.”
King Yue's expression was still indifferent, and the long sword in his hand was sent forward again: "The Luo family's patriarch is notoriously treacherous. At the beginning, all the nine clans of the six great families were executed, but you have survived unharmed until now, which shows your means. Brilliant. Do you think I'll take your word for it?"
"His Royal Highness, I will never lie. When His Highness leaves, I will die immediately, but I cannot die at His Highness's hands."
"Anyway, it's all one death, what's the difference in whose hands it dies?"
"I am a person with deep sins. Even if I was Ling Chi, it would be difficult for me to atone for my sins, but I can't let His Highness carry... stigma on my back."
"Kill you a sinner, what's the stigma?"
"Your Highness," Luo Kun knelt down on the ground, trembling all over, "Please listen to me, Your Highness, I will not harm you."
King Yue frowned, and he looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, if I don't go back, Yunyao will be worried." After speaking, the long sword in his hand was sent forward, and he was about to pierce Luo Kun's Throat.
Luo Kun turned pale in shock, and hurriedly struggled back: "Your Highness... Your Highness..." He clenched the long sword with both hands, his fingers were almost cut off by the blade, and blood dripped down immediately. Luo Kun grabbed the long sword from King Yue's hand and put it straight on his neck: "Your Highness, the sins of this life cannot be repaid, I am willing to fall into hell forever and suffer torment. The truth is not important anymore, you should cherish the present, and gentle
Princess Xian lived a good life. "After that, the long sword slashed horizontally, cut off his throat directly, and fell to the ground with a bang.
King Yue took two steps back abruptly, seeing the blood under Luo Kun fainting, only to feel extremely dazzling.
Wei Yi and Yun Chun, who heard the movement at the door, hurriedly walked in: "Master, are you alright?"
King Yue looked at Luo Kun's corpse, and the coldness around him was oppressing people's hearts. After a while, he gradually calmed down: "Pull him down for cremation and bury."
"Yes."
Mu Yunyao didn't see King Yue coming back for a long time, so she leaned against the window and waited. She was so tired during the day that she couldn't help but fall asleep after waiting and waiting.
King Yue frowned and returned to the yard, seeing that Luo Kun refused to tell the truth of the year until his death, which made the violence in his heart even more violent, anger and hatred made his eyes slightly red involuntarily, and he only felt that the tip of his nose was lingering around Luo Kun. The bloody aura brought by Kun's death could not be dissipated for a long time.
The resolute eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, King Yue's footsteps were getting faster and faster, and the hem of his clothes swayed violently in the wind. Today's performance by Luo Kun made him even more sure that the cause of his mother's death was definitely hidden, but his heart rose for no reason. A little irritability.
Unconsciously, he came to the outside of Mu Yunyao's room, and the warm candlelight came out from the door and the window, which suddenly comforted his violent mood. He pushed open the door and walked in, walking lightly.
Mu Yunyao was lying on the table by the window, her hair was scattered by her side, which made her very delicate.
King Yue stepped forward slowly, and wanted to take the cloak from the side to help her cover it, when he saw Mu Yunyao suddenly woke up.
"Fourth Master?" Mu Yunyao didn't sleep soundly at first, but when he heard a little movement, he woke up. After discovering that it was King Yue, he put down all his defenses.
"Wake you up?"
Mu Yunyao smiled and shook her head: "It's fine, but what happened over the Yihe River, why did the fourth master come back so late?"
"I met someone and wasted some time."
Mu Yunyao looked at King Yue, and suddenly stopped smiling: "The clothes of the fourth master..."
King Yue looked down at the hem of his shirt, and there was a little blood on it, which he hadn't noticed before. Seeing this bloodstain, Luo Kun's dying appearance involuntarily appeared in his mind, and he felt restless in his heart.
Mu Yunyao noticed that King Yue's mood was not right, and quickly stood up and walked over to hold his hand: "Fourth Master, what's the matter with you?"
King Yue suddenly pulled Mu Yunyao into his arms and held her in his arms, a hint of fragility flashed between his foreheads: "Yunyao, I saw Luo Kun."
"Luo Kun?" Mu Yunyao thought about it for a while, but had no impression of this person. "It happened many years ago. The Luo family where Luo Kun belongs is the head of the six great families. The family is powerful, and its control of the government has led to threats to the imperial power. Although the emperor's aunt and father have repeatedly suppressed it, the status and power of the aristocratic family are still not small. , my mother is the Wei family who was born at the end of the six great families
. "
Hearing King Yue's words, Mu Yunyao suddenly remembered the cause of Empress Wei's death: "Your Highness, did you find Luo Kun because you wanted to ask what happened to the Empress in the palace?"
"Yes, but he didn't say anything." King Yue carefully controlled his strength, for fear that he would be too strong to hug Mu Yunyao, "Yaoer, why did Aunt Huang persuade me not to pursue the original truth, why Luo Kun would rather die than explain..." Mu Yunyao opened her mouth, feeling the restlessness and anger coming from King Yue, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke his back: "When the fourth master was determined to find out the truth of the year, he didn't know what to do. Should I have expected this situation? I investigated my background and experienced so many obstacles, not to mention four
Grandpa wants to find out the truth. "
King Yue paused slightly. Mu Yunyao continued: "The Empress is the mother of a country, and it is also involved in the deaths of ten princes in the harem, as well as the secrets of the annihilation of the six major families... The scope of involvement is daunting, and if you want to find out, you will only be able to It is even more difficult. However, the fourth master I know is not such a fragile person.
If you want to check, it will be checked eventually. "
Mu Yunyao's soft voice with a little smile flowed in her ears, bit by bit to ease the rage and anxiety in King Yue's heart: "Yao'er, it's nice to have you."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help laughing: "Fourth Master still has the heart to coax me, it seems that he has already figured it out?"
"Well, no matter how cruel the original truth is, no matter how difficult the investigation is, I will try my best to find out the truth." "Okay, I will accompany the fourth master."
