"Jiuwei, what are you doing?"
Di Qingchen never expected that Ning Jiuwei would do such a thing, and immediately stood up. The calmness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of anxiety and worry.
Qin Lin on the side did not expect Ning Jiuwei to make such a sudden move. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his thin lips were pursed tightly. Even though there was a lot of anger in his heart, he still did not make any move.
He knew Ning Jiuwei's purpose of doing this, so he would not destroy it, but he did not stop it, but it did not mean that Qin Lin would agree with this approach.
Ning Jiuwei watched Di Qingchen walking towards her, took a few steps back, and immediately held the hairpin's hand harder, saying in a cold voice: "Don't come over."
"Jiu Wei, stop making trouble and put it down." Di Qingchen said with a soft voice mixed with anger.
Hearing Di Qingchen's words, Ning Jiuwei's eyes flashed with determination, and she said, "Di Qingchen, aren't you doing all this just for me? If I die, will you stop fighting for nothing?"
Di Qingchen took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Jiu Wei, don't force me."
"You have been forcing me, Di Qingchen. I can't bear with you anymore. There are two ways before you now. The first is that you release my mother and Mrs. Gu, and the second is that I die in In front of you." Ning Jiuwei asked with anger in his voice.
Seeing Ning Jiuwei like this, Di Qingchen turned his head, looked at Qin Lin, and asked, "Are you standing here? Isn't she the one you like the most? Why are you so indifferent?"
"Whatever she does, I will only accompany her and will never stop her." After Qin Lin finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Di Qingchen's teeth itched with hatred. Looking at Ning Jiuwei who did not give in at all, he shouted: "Ye Tong, bring this person out."
"Yes." Ye Tong nodded and went.
When Qin Lin heard Di Qingchen's words, his eyes flashed with relief, and at the same time, his eagle eyes glared at Ning Jiuwei in a direction that no one could see. He was really afraid that Ning Jiuwei would do something because of Di Qingchen. Surprise him with something unexpected.
Ning Jiuwei blinked her eyes playfully. She bet again on how sincere Emperor Qingchen was. In fact, she felt that there was still a lot of unwillingness in it.
The current Di Qingchen is paranoid and will use any means to get what he wants, otherwise he would not do it again and again.
"Your Majesty, I've brought you here." Ye Tong said.
Ning Jiuwei and Qin Lin looked over and saw Long Yurong and Mrs. Gu standing behind them. Long Yurong was fine, her face was just a little gloomy, but Mrs. Gu's face was pale.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ning Jiuwei looked at Long Yurong and asked with concern.
Long Yurong shook her head and said, "I'm fine, but Mrs. Gu has suffered a lot."
Hearing Long Yurong's words, Ning Jiu looked at Mrs. Gu slightly apologetically. Her first reaction was to think of Long Yurong, who raised her, and ignore Mrs. Gu.
Seeing the gloom in Mrs. Gu's eyes, Ning Jiu felt as if something was stuck in her throat. She said, "I'm sorry, I...how are you? I should have guessed that you are here."
However, Mrs. Gu did not answer him. She just shook her head calmly and said that she was fine. This made Ning Jiuwei feel more and more uncomfortable. Her behavior just now must have hurt Mrs. Gu's heart.
"Jiu Wei, I did as you said, you choose one." Di Qingchen said.
Ning Jiuwei frowned and said, "What to choose?"
"A person can only take away one person, Jiu Wei. I have done my best to be kind and righteous." Di Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Di Qingchen clearly knew what Ning Jiuwei was thinking, so he couldn't let her take them both away, otherwise she would never return to Daliang with him.
"Do I have to take them all away?" Ning Jiuwei asked coldly.
"Then I will choose one for you, keep one...and kill one." Di Qingchen's tone was very gentle, but it made people feel cold all over.
Qin Lin stood aside, his eyes half-squinted, and he didn't speak. Finally, he found a good opportunity, raised his hand, and raised his fingers.
Only the sound of arrows piercing the air was heard, and soon the sky in the Ziyuan Palace was filled with dense arrow rain, becoming densely black.
Di Qingchen reacted very quickly and dodged sideways, drawing out the soft sword from his waist to block it. However, no matter how hard he tried to defend himself, he could not withstand so many arrows and was forced to retreat step by step.
Ning Jiuwei and Qin Lin had a tacit understanding and took Mrs. Gu and Long Yurong behind them, followed the previously arranged route, and left Ziyuan Palace. Looking at this scene, Di Qingchen was so angry that he vomited blood. .
After Ning Jiuwei and others left, the rain of arrows also disappeared. Di Qingchen couldn't hide the viciousness in his brows and said, "Chase me and kill Mrs. Gu no matter what."
"Ye Tong, you stay." Di Qingchen looked at Ye Tong who was walking out, and suddenly called him with an unpredictable tone.
Ye Tong paused and shouted, "Your Majesty."
"Do you know your sin?" Di Qingchen asked in a neutral tone.
Hearing Di Qingchen's words, Ye Tong knelt on the ground and said, "I know my crime, please punish me."
Di Qingchen had faint veins popping out on his forehead at this time. He never expected that his most trusted subordinate would betray him at such a critical moment.
"Why let them go? You know how important Mrs. Gu and Long Yurong are to me." Di Qingchen said with a gloomy look.
Big beads of sweat rolled down Ye Tong's forehead. With a hint of seriousness in his eyes, he said, "Your Majesty, I just don't want you to destroy your conscience."
"What did you say?" Di Qingchen asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Long's husband lost his life for you back then. Not only is Mrs. Gu your aunt, but she has also been kind to your Majesty in raising you. The kindness must be repaid. Your Majesty, please think twice." Ye Tong said with a sad voice. said.
A sneer flashed in Di Qingchen's eyes and he said, "But the person who chased me back then is Long Yurong's current husband. Do you think I need to be grateful to her?"
Ye Tong didn't say anything else, because he knew that Di Qingchen was no longer the humble, cautious but kind-hearted person he used to be.
"Go back to Daliang immediately and don't appear in front of me again." After Di Qingchen finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ye Tong.
After hearing Di Qingchen's words, Ye Tong stood up and turned around and ran out of the courtyard. He knew that he would probably be in bad luck if he went back this time.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu has been killed." Su Yu walked in from outside the courtyard and said.
Ye Tong's originally striding steps suddenly froze in place after hearing Su Yu's words. How could it be possible? How could Mrs. Gu be so lost? The truth...
