The sound of shouting and killing in the distance seemed to be gradually approaching the palace, and the imperial guards couldn't do anything else, so they lifted the wheelchair and wanted to leave through the Chenhui Gate.
It was useless for Zhao Li to growl all the way, his legs were crippled, so he couldn't resist no matter what.
The street fighting in the capital did not last long, because Ning Yuxuan brought all the civil and military officials together to welcome the eldest prince into the palace. The resistance gradually dissipated, and a good news came from a distance, saying that Nie Qingyun won the battle with Yong'anhou outside Qiushui, and those who were loyal to the emperor all fled after him.
When the sunset filled the sky, the capital slowly calmed down. Ji Man and Zhao Zhe finally entered the city, stepping on the bloody corpses on the ground, and slowly walked towards the palace.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, Ning Yuxuan and all the civil and military officials behind him bowed their hands silently to Zhao Zhe and lined up on both sides.
"Have you caught anyone?" Zhao Zhe immediately smiled and asked Ning Mingjie.
Ning Mingjie naturally knew that he was asking about Zhao Li, bowed his head and said: "I have already ordered people to guard all the six gates of the palace. The emperor will only stay in the palace and cannot go out."
"Very good." Zhao Zhe smiled, turned his head to look at Ji Man and said, "Of course you have already fulfilled what you promised me, and you must be indispensable when it comes to merit and deed rewards. Now, you can Do what you most want to do."
Ji Man took a deep breath, dismounted and saluted: "Thank you, my lord, for your success."
Ning Yuxuan frowned slightly, seeing Ji Man turned around and wanted to go into the palace, he took her arm silently.
Slightly startled, Ji Man turned around: "What's the order of Lord Hou?"
"..." Ning Yuxuan looked at Zhao Zhe, smiled and said, "I'll go with you."
Zhao Zhe wanted to rush to sit on the dragon chair, so naturally he didn't have so much energy to care about them, so he rode his horse into the palace immediately, and headed straight for Zichen Hall with his cronies.
Ji Man was pulled by Ning Yuxuan, his wrists were a little hot: "Master Hou wants to take me to find Zhao Li?"
Ning Yuxuan nodded, and slowly pulled her away from the palace gate and walked in: "Sang Yu, do you want to kill him?"
Isn't this nonsense? Ji Man sneered: "I'm not in a hurry, I will naturally wait for my brother to come before I do anything. But no matter what, I will not let him go. There are so many wronged souls in the Nie family, and he will always have to get them back."
"Aren't you Ji Man?" Ning Yuxuan asked softly suddenly.
Ji Man was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"You said you were Ji Man, not Nie Sangyu." Ning Yuxuan frowned and said, "Then what does the death of Nie's family have to do with you?"
There was a slight pause in his heart, and his breathing slowed down a beat. Ji Man looked at the person walking in front of him in a daze.
She has always regarded herself as a bystander, that's right, she and Nie Sangyu are two people and cannot be confused. Her feelings are hers, and her feelings are hers.
But... why does Nie Sangyu's mood also affect her? Nie Sangyu's family treated her well, so she naturally regarded her as her family. Nie Sangyu hated it, and she hated it when she was influenced. Nie Sangyu liked it, and she was also influenced, a little... like it.
With a wry smile, Ji Man closed her eyes: "Because she and I are one person."
Ever since she lived in this body, she and Nie Sangyu are the same person. Her heartache is her heartache, and her joy is her joy. It seems... It is impossible to distinguish them carefully.
Ning Yuxuan was shocked, and turned around to look at her: "If it's the same person, it's the same as her..."
"Huh?" Ji Man looked at him curiously.
"It's okay." Mo Yuhou turned his head back: "I want to give you a suggestion, Zhao Li...you'd better not do anything to him."
"Don't do it?" Ji Man sneered: "Could it be that I want to scold him to death? But he is such a madman, would he care how I scold him? I wish he could be cut to pieces!"
Ning Yuxuan sighed: "I know you hate him very much. After all, he let you witness the beheading of the Nie family. But he is the brother of the Changjun King."
"Do you know why I took refuge with the Changjun King?" Ji Man laughed: "It's because he promised me that if he can pull Zhao Li down one day, he will definitely give me a chance to kill my enemy."
She is a woman with a broken family, and she has nothing but a slightly different brain. How easy is it to kill the current Holy Majesty? Helping Zhao Zhe can make her wish come true. Zhao Zhe himself said just now that she has done what she promised him, and now she can do what she wants to do.
What she wants to do most is to make Zhao Li die.
Ning Yuxuan pursed her lips and wanted to say more, but someone came up ahead.
The one who stumbled was none other than the former Princess Kang Yuan and now Concubine Shu. Several forbidden soldiers were chasing after her, but she ran towards this direction desperately. When she saw Mo Yuhou, she seemed to be seeing a savior: "Master Hou, save me!"
Who are you
Ji Man also stopped and frowned slightly as he looked at the madly running woman.
"I know where the emperor is, I know, tell them not to catch me!" Concubine Shu screamed, her hair was in a mess, and the palace dress on her body was gone.
"Oh?" Ji Man was interested in what she said: "Where is Zhao Li?"
When the guards behind him saw Mo Yuhou, they stood still and did not continue to chase. Concubine Shu threw herself at Ji Man's feet, gritted her teeth and said, "Take me to see the emperor, even if I die, I will die with the emperor!"
"You know where the emperor is, why don't you go there by yourself?" Ji Man asked curiously.
Kang Yuan glanced at the guard behind him with resentment, pursed his lips and couldn't help turning his eyes red: "I'm about to go out, and I can go out before the palace is surrounded, but he came back struggling desperately. I don't want my life, just to go to the Moon Tower to see that bitch!"
"I want to catch up with him, but there are so many people chasing him, so I have to divert some of them away?" Kang Yuan said angrily, "Now I regret it, why should I help him divert people away? Just arrest us together." Well, let him never see that vixen who holds the moon again!"
I haven't heard the name of Pengyue for a long time. At first hearing, I really miss it. Ji Man's face softened a little. After all, it was Peng Yue who helped plead for mercy, so she could save this life. Even if there is a deal first, she is still thinking of Pengyue's kindness.
"Has Zhao Li left Moon Tower?"
"Where else can he go." Kang Yuan stood up reluctantly and said, "If you want to go there, take me there with you. In exchange, I can tell you a secret after I go there."
It doesn't hurt to bring such a person or not, and there is a secret to listen to, so Ji Man agreed. Mo Yuhou followed her to the Moon Tower. There are few people in the palace, and the palace lanterns and flowerpots all around are crumbling.
The Wangyue Tower looks very peaceful. After all, it was built by Zhao Li with a lot of thought. It still has a sense of grandeur and independence in this barren world.
There was no one downstairs, and there was no sound inside. When Ji Man went in, he saw the wheelchair on the first floor, and there was no one on it.
Looking up at the tall stairs, Ji Man followed.
On the third floor, I heard the roar of a person.
"Why did you let Moyuhou Shizi go? You know that he is the most important hostage. You are the person I trust the most in this palace. That's why I handed Ning Jinchen to you. Zhenguo borrowed soldiers, but they will never harm me!"
Zhao Li didn't have a wheelchair, so he climbed up the stairs all the way. The noble dragon robe was covered with mud. Although he looked embarrassed, his aura was still powerful, as if he was not lying on the ground, but standing in the sky.
"I didn't expect to be defeated by you in the end. Xiao He defeated Xiao He. Pengyue, don't you feel heartbroken? The country you defeated with me will now be ruined by your own hands because of your capriciousness? "
"You know that even if I am a concubine, you are the only one in my heart. Why are you not satisfied, why are you so sad?"
"It's fine if I don't come to see you, won't you go to see me? Aren't you always so active, you dare to hit even Kang Yuan with a long whip. If you are angry with me, why don't you tell me? Why don't you just say a word?" Did not say?"
"Pengyue, you talk, I can't crawl."
In the middle of the room, Zhao Li was finally tired. The skin on both hands was worn out, and it was almost impossible to get up when lying on the ground.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer, Zhao Li frowned, exerted all his strength, and continued to climb forward: "Now the palace can't be defended, should you be happy? I'm here to take you away, you're wrong." It’s a lot, let’s settle accounts slowly in the future, I won’t let you off lightly, but now you have to go with me, they are all waiting at the Chenhui Gate…”
There was no sound at all in the bed curtain, if it wasn't for the gentle wind blowing in, people could vaguely see the arched quilt on the bed, he almost felt that Peng Yue left him and left first.
"You will also have today." Ji Man leaned against the door and watched, and sneered: "What do you need to crawl on the ground, your majesty, if you give an order, there will naturally be servants to carry it."
Zhao Li paused and looked back.
"Your Majesty!" Kang Yuan rushed in, angrily and urgently helped him half up: "I told you that you must leave early, why are you so stubborn and disobedient? What's so good about this woman who is about to die of illness? "
"Get out!" Zhao Li pushed her away, fell back to the ground, looked at Ji Man and said, "Nie Sangyu, it really was you. When Pengyue pleaded for you, I knew that the wild fire would never end. Blowing and giving birth. You woman is too smart, as long as you are still alive, I will not live in peace."
Ji Man smiled slightly: "Thanks to His Majesty's praise, you are still alive, and Sang Yu is not safe at all."
Ning Yuxuan pursed her lips and stepped into the door.
Zhao Li still wanted to crawl to the bed, looked at the man on the bed and said, "Look at the moon, it's your fault too. You were kind for a while, but now they are going to kill me. Tell me, I blame you, are you right?" of? Did you do something wrong?"
"Pengyue marrying you is the biggest mistake I did." Ji Man sneered.
